The Zambia Police Service says it recorded zero lawlessness during the inauguration ceremony across the country.
Police Deputy Public Relations Officer Mwata Katongo saying in a telephone interview in Lusaka yesterday that the inauguration ceremony was celebrated in a jubilant but peaceful manner.
Mrs Katongo expressed happiness at the way Zambians from different sectors of the society turned out in large numbers to celebrate the inauguration of President Lungu.
She has encouraged Zambians to continue live in peace and uphold the One Zambia One Nation motto.
She congratulated all officers across the country for the critical role played in maintaining peace before, during and after the inauguration ceremony./
This is despite the huge turnout of people across the country, she said.
Mrs. Katongo however said that only one case was reported at Heroes stadium yesterday when the stadium was full and couldn’t allow more people in to the stadium.
She added that there was a huge crowd outside the stadium which wanted to push its way into the already filled stadium which in turn resulted scuffles which however was contained by the police.
Mrs. Katongo urged Zambian to safe guard the peace which the country has enjoyed for the past 51 years since independence.
THIS IS GREAT ACHIEVEMENT ON THE PART OF ZAMBIAN CITIZENS AND ALL PEOPLE RESIDENT IN ZAMBIA. IT IS ALSO A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TO ALL THE SECURUTY WINGS IN ZAMBIA. IT IS ALSO ANOTHER GREAT ACHIEVEMENT TO THE PRESIDENT ECL AND HIS VICE MA INONGE WINA- THIS GOES TO SHOW THE LOVE AND RESPECT THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA HAVE FOR THE PRESIDENT AND HIS VICE. CONGATULATIONS TO ALL MENTIONED ABOVE AND MAY GOD JEHOVAH BE WITH YOU THROUGH AND THROUGH. AMEN.
Common people were bullied by men in unuform. Zambians are cowards when it comes to fighting for their rights, they turn to their invisible sky daddy for directions who in the end takes them no where.
Absolute lies: there’s a video of a vicious hit-and-run incident by the Presidential motorcade. No attempt was made to That’s a crime, right there!
It was a boring day, why fight.
The real fight is coming in a few days weeks and months ahead when IMF ‘s prescription economic medicine takes effect.
All Zambians not only UPND will take to the streets to protest the high inflation in energy and food prices.
Kwacha on will be on the sliding path to reach more than K30 a dollar as of December this year .
With Lungu ‘s bloated cabinet plus corruption Zambia is bound to be worse than Zimbabwe going forward.
What I have said comes to pass.

I wonder if upnd supporters who are under 40years of age will even clinch 43years.because they are so bitter and can’t see anything good in pf. For your information you never have a leader that will not be supported by bemba speaking people. Give credit were its due and have love inside you.
Congratulation to all security wings, to all men and women of God who have being praying for the peace of our beloved nation , to president elect, to vice present elect and to all MPs, mayors and councilors elect .Now therefore, preach real peace because our tribe is Zambian. To the security wings you have made us proud and we salute you please continue with the same spirit. We wish you all the best you government organs as you foster development to our great country whose foundation was leady by our great father Kenneth Kaunda. Warm Regards
I thought some tribal party leader was telling his cadres to riot until they are heard. he also vowed to block the inauguration ceremony. As some fool also said the chief just will not swore in the president. Yaba pa ZED pali masilu.
