Lusaka Mayor Independent candidate, Fisho Mwale has written to Lusaka City Council requesting the local authority to restrict the sale of alcohol during this year’s general elections taking place tomorrow 11 August, 2016.

In his letter to the council made available to the media, Mr. Mwale stated that political violence is on the rise, especially in Lusaka and the trend seems to be continuing despite attempts by several stakeholders to end the vice. He argued that political violence is partly fueled by reckless consumption of alcohol, especially by the youth.

Mr. Mwale said, as a concerned citizen, civic leader and aspiring candidate for the position of Executive Mayor of Lusaka, he feels that restricting the sale of alcohol and closure of bars and nightclubs during this period will help in curbing the violence.

  1. A wise appeal by Fisho Mwale. Unfortunetely even if LCC what to implement the restriction or ban, it will not have the physical capacity to enforce such a ban.
