Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo has warned UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema to conduct himself in lawful manner and stop masquerading as President of Zambia or face arrest for treason.

Mr Kampyongo who was this morning featured on the Patriotic Front Interactive Forum at Chrisma Hotel observed that the actions of Mr Hichilema to continuously refute and recognise the democratic election of President Edgar Lungu and forcing people to share this view is treasonable and the law will soon visit him.

Mr Kampyongo said the primitive, selfish mind of Hichilema is stirring the country into anarchy and his ministry would not sit back and watch this happen especially that world over President Lungu has been recognised as the President of Zambia even by the highest body the United Nations.

He said it was the ignorance of Hichilema that is blinding him to expect to be allowed to be given a police permit to hold a rally and attempt to sway people that President Lungu is not President.

“He is asking me as Minister to allow that permit when he does not recognise my appointing authority… And if he goes on stage and tells people President Lungu is not president how will the many people who voted for President Lungu react…. it will be chaotic, he needs to come down and sober up,” Mr Kampyongo said.

Mr Kampyongo warned, “You close to him, go and tell them Kampyongo has said anyone who breaks the law will be dealt with firmly but within the confines of the law.”

He went on to observe that it was probably the lack of experience and knowledge if the operation of government causing Hichilema to act in certain mannerisms.

He said said it was clear that some of his followers who have the know and experience have not fallen into the ignorant reactions he has stirred such as requesting his members of parliament to abash the state of nation address in parliament by the head of state.

Mr Kampyong applauded lawyer and long time saving member of parliament for not following blindly and noted that some of Hichilema’s members of parliament who are lawyer’s are now giving excuses such as; “I was attending a funeral but I was following the proceedings of parliament on television.”

He noted that opposition leaders such as Edith Nawakwi, Mike Mulongoti, Godfrey Miyanda despite being critical of government have a distinction from Hichilema’s headless behaviour as they understand operations of government, parliament and extensively all three arms of government.

  1. Tired of this nonsense from HH and the government. Can someone act and stop issuing warnings which have been given from time to time. Just how long must this unlawful behaviour go on from HH. We all know that he has become big headed. Act now and not later.

    • That is why the case is in court Mr. Minister. Allow all organs of government to exhaust their role in making Zambia a clear democracy.

    • We have laws in this country. HH has taken his case to the courts and courts continue to play hide and seek. There is breakdown for the rule of law in this country and that is recipe for disaster. Kampyongo is too uneducated and ignorant to be minister of Home Affairs. Dr Martin Malama from the PF is a better alternative. The constitution allows for UPND to have rallies and the same police preventing the rally could have protected UPND from any danger ( from PF thugs)

    • Thumbs up HH, The next president should know that bulling the concourt isn’t the solution, If you had confidence that Lungu won the election you would have allowed the hearing to proceed and not hind in a technicality of 14 days, You have learnt a lesson, By allowing the concourt to do its job you would have given HH a rope to hung himself. Faka pressure HH they are feeling it.

    • The answer to your contribution Bembaman is for Lungu and his morons like Kampyongo to allow the Petition by UPND to be heard in Court. Iwe Bembaman, what is Lungu afraid or scared of, to allow the Petition to be heard by the ConCourt? He is actually inviting the intervention of the international Community by his actions.

    • When your wrong choices are the cause of your suffering you are left with no cause to complain as the case is for all PF supporters.

    • He is an under 5politician, what more do you expect from him. No one takes him seriously anymore. Expecting hh OVAL HEAD to act in a mature manner is asking too much from him. Wait until he grows up may be.

    • Kapyongo has misunderstood. HH never said he was president. HH and followers are demanding that PF allows courts to be independent. You PF messed up on concourt, you should have let them declare Edgar president.
      Even in America, there are still protesters saying “he is not my president”. No one is on treason thing. Democracy my friends.

    • That dwarf pigheaded piece of sh.it called Chimpyongo is like diarrhoea – no matter how hard you try to stop it, the sh.it keeps coming!
      Tell him to go Shiwangandu and fck the smelly, stale pus.sey of his mother and leave HH alone.

    • Tore and Obatala,
      Yes Zambia has laws and the law says HH should appeal to the Minister. But who appointed this minister? By appealing to the minister of home affairs, HH is simply saying ECL is president because the minister is in officer by virtual of being appointed by ECL

    • Which court? This is just a figment in Upnd ‘s super god to hang on the presidency. Just let him enjoy his lunacy.

    • HH should go to Kapwepwe’s and Nkumbula’s graves and ask them for advice.
      They will tell him. ‘Son, live to fight another day.’

    • HH should go to Kapwepwe’s and Nkumbula’s graves and ask them for advice.
      They will tell him. ‘Son, live to fight another day.’

    • DO NOT ARREST HUMAN HYENA (HH)!

      DONT MAKE THIS CRETIN A HERO!

      AS IT STANDS HE AND HIS SA.TANIC FOLLOWERS ARE THEIR OWN WORST FOES!

      GIVE A CRETIN ENOUGH ROPE AND HE WILL CASTRATE HIMSELF AS HUNGRY HYENA AND CO HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE 2006!

      PLEASE KAPYONGO DONT ARREST THIS HH THING!

    • “He is asking me as Minister to allow that permit when he does not recognise my appointing authority… And if he goes on stage and tells people President Lungu is not president how will the many people who voted for President Lungu react…. it will be chaotic, he needs to come down and sober up,”
      THIS IS VERY TRUE. HH SHOULDN’T HAVE EXPECTED THE MINISTER APPOINTED BY THE HEAD OF STATE WHOM HH FOR SOME STUP1D REASON HAS NEVER ACCEPTED AS LEGITIMATELY ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA, TO GIVE HIM A RALLY PERMIT. IT WOULDN’T HAVE MADE SENSE.

  2. Big head (Chimp)yongo has NO concept whatsoever what Multi Party Democracy is all about.
    To him democracy is about using State machinery to bully opposition members, & all those that disagree with P.F. Corruption, & mismanagement of Zambia.
    Real Pr1mate in the real Africa.

    • Bembas are thieves. They love chaos, thrive in chaos and cause chaos all the time. When you hear them talk you should just know that no good will come out of it.

  3. Ukukopo Ba Kampyongo. Who arrested you for sending your cadres to bring down the chopper that was carrying President Hakainde Hichilema in Kasama?

  4. Now we know the truth about why kampyongo refused to give the upnd the permit. He’s scared that HH will talk. You can’t expect HH to behave like the other opposition leaders that have chosen to have their rights taken away from them.

    • Your HH will just be arrested and you will do nothing. Governments have locked up and destroyed more powerful and popular politicians. Continue with your pomp and see what will happen.

  5. Why waste time arresting a coward, you HH is very yellow. Last time he was summoned for questioning he claimed that he has been imprisoned 9 times? Let him waste time masquerading, are you the President? Why bother about him, he is already finished. GBM will soon take over UPND and scatter all Tongas in different directions!

  6. Ba pf you will not have it easy as everyone knows you stole the elections. You can’t force people to accept you. Your party is the for worst mistreating citizens. Zambia is not fair PF alone.

  7. I am currently at the office at the UPND secretariat. I have been laughing since I got hold of this statement from this small clown kampyongo kikikiki bane i have never laughed so hard . I cant believe that a grown man can issue such a shallow statement. I have laughed so hard that I have actually spilled my coffee all over my desk. Surely, we have told you that we do not recognise Lungu as not until the petition is fairly and legally heard can we have faith in your system. How do you force people to recognise an election thief and dictator as their leader? If HH is received as a president due to his mature approach to leadership, whose fault is that? my friend kampyongo behave yourself before i drive to your house and single handely whip you like a small boy. wapusa iwe

  8. Kampyongo and other PF cadres have lost it – You do not FORCE Zambians to recognised Lungu as president of Zambia. Lungu has to win an election for recognition. Allow the 2016 elections appeal by your own law to determine if REALLY Lungu won the elections. Without which Lungu remains illegitimate and un recognised as president of Zambia. You have to kill all Zambians who do not agree with you on this one.

    • Neither do your HH force many Zambians who voted for PF to recognize him. Your thinking @ Munadekhane is very shallow to say the least.

  9. These PF ministers clearly believe that they own the country just because they are in government. Look here man, HH is offered the same protections and he rights under the constitution to hold political views different from yours. He was voted by almost half the electorates… in fact he has a legal claim to the presidency of which he’s never been accorded a chance to present evidence that the presidency was stolen from him.

    By the way the so called ‘permit’ isn’t to seek your permission as you have abused and misunderstood this requirement. Rather it to ask your police to go and provide security and accord protection as a duty. HH has a right not to recognize a guy who stole the presidency from him. Stop thinking you own the country… And next time you will deny that the Police…

    • … And next time you will deny that the Police are under PF political influence and yet your sentiments clearly shows so.

  10. Why should one Politician WARN another of arrest? If one has broken the law why can they police simply arrest them…the funny thing about all this is that Lazy is a Lawyer and he is silent when his dull ministers are making such silly utterances. This is the lack of Governance I talk about…what this big head boy Kampyongo is saying is if you don’t keep quiet I will instruct the Police to arrest you.

  11. Arrest HH and we will hunt you down like a rat!! I we Kampyongo! Walipena sana. Why don’t you allow the courts to do their work and listed to the Petition? You PF thugs are cowards. You have to use State organs which you have captured to rubberstamp your crime of stealing an election. If you believe in laws, why doesn’t your government reinforce the ruling that those thug ministers who were in office illegally MUST pay back all the benefits they enjoyed before elections? If you are scu a law abiding thug, why don’t you allow UPND have its own rally as desired by its leaders? Why do you think that only ka Lungu kenu, ako kabwalala kenu must be the only one to tour Zambia under the guise of being president when we all know that this crook (Lungu) has no presidential brain as it was…

  13. Kampyongo just get on with the work and forget the animal called HH. Even Sata and Mazoka refused to accept Mwanawasa as Republican President.

  14. Wait a minute, what of those who voted for upnd, and wants the issue of stolen elections be resolved are non Zambians who should be killed.come on man! These are the kind of people who are going to set this country on fire kampyongo and Chama, to them everyone must agree to their opinion want or not so it’s up to the pf leadership to choose dialogue or arnachy, either the Burundi way.

  15. IGs newly aquired toys in full force in Kanyama..yet Police have no walkie talkies or body armour or a side pistol or basic training!!

  16. I think what the UPND what is to be heard. Some just need to go sit in the court room and listen to Kaleya Mateo until they are done talking. My concern is that they what who the listener should. What will happen if all start picking the Judges? If the UPND hard brains, they should have spent sleepless night writing the speech so that it is heard within 14 days provided for by the constitution by they exhausted their time shecking who has a bigger dck than the other.

    • I think UPND always reads the rules of the game afterwards. I remember when Lungu was about sign the constitution, UPND MPs asked for more time to study the document. Are we going to be waiting for these losers all the time? They had 14 days to present their case and started asking if 14 days included weekends a question they should have asked in parliament way before the elections.

  17. Cage this HH, he is going to plunge our country into un necessary chaos. we need development not this primitive thinking. His cows have come to haunt him. My fear for this dangerous arrogant man is that he has lost too much and therefore does not care if more blood is shed. STOP HIM, STOP HIM.

    • Those that don’t care are those that don’t give others the opportunity to be heard freely and fairly in courts of law. Not withstanding the killing and maiming of members from other groups. Those are the ones that need be stopped. HH is a very peaceful man thus far.

  18. only when some people will realese that there is life after HH will they help this man. you have stayed with those people you hate whole your life. what have you lost?

  19. This Minister is ignorant of the Law. HH does not need a Permit to hold a Rally. He only needs to give a 7 days Notice which he has done. HH wants the Petition heard in Court and that is perfectly legal and constitutional. There is no basis to arrest HH and charge him for Treason. What is treasonable about holding a Rally or asking for a Petition to be heard?Lungu and his criminals are scared of the Petition Hearing and are hoping to be recognized without Hearing the Petition. Its high time SADC and the International Community stand up to the illegitimate Lungu Regime.

  20. they have tear gassed our people in kanyama omg zambia is in full swing dictatorship mode. we ask, what is lungu and pf scared of? what we said about pf wantingto change zambia to a one party state is now coming to pass. it is a sad day for democracy and the world is watching. we shall overcome my people! stay strong.

  21. @NEZ so your so called rally went on in kanyama today?hey well done ZP if indeed those tongas who came for that cancelled rally were tea gassed!!how i wish ZP used live bullets to those who have no respect for our laws.look these tongas around HH must realise that there is life after HH because HH is not Aufa and Omega!!!Zambians will continue living after HH or ECL are long gone!!!BESIDES,ITS HIGH TIME GOVNT CAGED HH AS HE IS A DANGER TO OUR PEACE!!!our lives have continued after a gallant son Michael Sata past away in 2014.so who is HH to die for?OPEN YOUR EYES BANTUSTANS!!

  22. HH believed that he would win the elections because Mmembe and the Post said so. He believed the Post so much that he did not see any other outcome, he mistakenly believed Mr Sata won the 2011 elections because Mmembe said so and it would be the same with him. Nothing could be further from the truth, Sata won in 2016 because the people wanted it that way, and the Post was just gonena. The real “influence” of the Post and Mmembe were seen in 2016, when the people put Mmembe in his place, unfortunately at the expense of HH. HH will accept the results as soon as he realises that Mmembe is simply a fluke and scoundrel. Until that happens HH will continue wasting away until his body gives up on him. Mark my words, HH WILL waste away before even Kampyongo does the honours of arresting him…

    • Spot on, Terrible-the true kingmaker are the Zambian voters themselves!! hh took a gamble and he lost!!!

  23. Steven Kapolyo, the office you currently occupy has made you really big headed. Such dictatorial approaches to governance issues will get you no where, remember, other people where in that office before and today they are a humble lot. Just know that time will soon catch up with you!

  24. Our leaders have no love in their hearts! They have become callous in dehumanizing those they are supposed to look after. Like a synovial joint that has lost both cartilage and fluid, so is the state of our nation! Love conquers all things. PF are very mistaken by overreacting to every little thing. They were tear gassing asthmatics who are now hospitalized, children, the elderly and everybody. Time is coming soon when PF will meet their equal. There comes a time when people say enough is enough! There is too much indiscipline in this country and there has to be stopped one day!

  25. Why is Lungu deneying HH & GBM their Rights to be heard in Court, freedom to Assemble, Speak and Associate? Lungu knew what the Petitioners were going to say at the Rally? The guilty are very..very afraid. If one had any doubt that Lungu stole HH’s Victory today he showed thru State Repression that he is going to defend his stolen Victory even if it means spilling blood. Lungu is determined to defend his stolen victory and Dictatorship. The Petition has haunted Lungu big time. The Petition will not go away on its own. It has got to be heard without fail.

  26. The Law has been broken…!
    … No need of warning shots….!!!.. Cage him to return sanity..!!

    A_I2017

  27. This chap you will bring fire on this country. Please stop even using the word of treason on anyone. HH has a right ans we all agree. He was treated unfairly. There many that dislike Lungu even within his team and should fire start he it might back fire on him. He has managed to cheat the system and become a questionable president. Let him foucs on that rather than bring problems to our country

  28. One tonga has been killed today at a upnd rally in kanyama.HH has achieved what he wanted (blood was sheded).thats HH (satanist) for you.Chipenzi died in 2016 and now in 2017 another one is gone today for daring the police by HH and his blind followers!!!WE ALL WARNED UPND NOT TO GO AHEAD WITH A KANYAMA RALLY ON 02/04/2017,BUT SINCE KAINDE DO NOT LISTEN,HE WENT AHEAD TODAY.SADLY ONE LIFE HAS BEEN LOST AND MANY INJURED AT THE EXPENSE OF HH!!!

  29. Anyway, who is their right frame of mind would listen to scum called Kampyongo? Who names themselves with a name like that? Before he talking treason, he must ask Prof Mvunga first not ukusabaila ufyabupuba! If you want respect, wil clean, no rigging!

  30. We wish to educate Stephen Kampyongo about the meaning of Treason. HH Petitioned against Lungu’s Election and this action is legal and provided for under the law. The Petition is b4 the Court and until the Winner of the Election is known and declared by the Court there is no legitimate President in Zambia. Its not treasonable for the Petitioners to refuse to recognize Lungu, the vote thief. Its not treasonable for the Petitioners to hold a Rally as it is their Constitutional Right to do so. HH & GBM have not broken any law so there is no basis to arrest the Petitioners. Let the Petition be heard in Court. Period.

    • PF is full of bakaponya! They won’t listen to words of wisdom! They are scared little men trying to legitimize their illegal hold on state power. They want to suppress the truth at All costs hence their crusade to silence the media, the opposition and all who hold different views. If these PF kaponyas have ears, let them hear that they are now on a self-destruction path. Stop it!

    • PF has a tendency of appointing tins to Home Affairs …remember who you was the last one, the current SG the dull corrupt Davis Mwila!!

  31. This pig called NEZ is totally lost. Now you spend precious time drawing insults? PATHETIC!!!
    You were given 14 days to be heard, you wasted it on nonexistent preliminaries. Soon, you will be an illegitimate opposition political party.

    • Kakolwe ****** we you are still alive. I buried you and that assh0le ndanje on 2umfweko. It seems you sons of bltches don’t learn. People are been killed and tear gassed just because they want to exercise their human rights. I truly hope that you lose your child or parents in such circumstances so that you know what it feels like. Lungu has simply cursed himself and will die very painful death. You can’t mess with people life and expect to get away with it. You dogs

  32. Sinono am not going to behave like a grade 12 debating on lusaka times where if you opossing you won’t see sense in the proposing side. There is too much no sense going on ,on both sides and it’s nasty and foolish .

  33. This minister is stupid, who told him that Lungu is a president? It is gospel truth that H.H. won the elections and therefore we all know that he is the one who is the recognized president of this nation. Abash Lungu

  34. It sounds like the honorable himself is not quite sure if Lungu is the President, otherwise why the need to issue threats? If you are sure, then HH is surely a madman who can simply be ignored… Or are you not quite sure, and that’s why you need to act like it’s a film?

  35. @30 kubeja badaala, you have to be a real donkey to think like you. Kampyongo is a CABINET MINISTER, much much higher than anyone in UPNDonkey party including HH and GBM combined, so what do you mean when you say Kampyongo is feeling big HE IS BIG. And he is the one HH applies to for a permit to.hold a rally isn’t he? So even HH knows the fact ka.

    And hh is actually less than his MPs in government protocol.

  36. By the way isn’t it an anomaly, actually a breach of the Constitution, that UPNDonkey party is the official opposition in parliament? How can they be if they don’t recognise the President who makes parliament possible in the first place? For example was it possible to have, did we have, parliament before the President was sworn.in or while the so called “petition” was being “heard”? I tell you that UPNDonkeys are making absolute asses and a.rses of themselves. Imagine being an ass and an a.rse until 2021, please spare us!

  37. So what law(s) has HH broken? The minister himself, working through the police, has consistently breached the right of speech, assembly and association in relation to the UPND. What has non-recognition of a President have to do with being allowed to associate or assemble? Isn’t it the role of the opposition the world over to point out the illegitimacy of a regime or process through which an individual came to assume power? Isn’t it the opposition’s calling to the effect that one of their objectives is to be in power themselves by ‘selling’ what they can do better and pointing out that the leader of the country ought not to be in the said position? In which country do ALL the citizens or ALL political parties recognise the ruler? Does the minister know what amounts to treason?

  38. Was HE ECL sworn in according to the manner laid in the Constitution.
    We are arguing about recogbition about this party that party.
    The issue in a nutshell, irrespective of which party you support ,is the independence of the Judiciary.
    Has anybody checked to see if we are really signatories to ICJ
    everybody is too emotive. PF sit back and ask yourselves honestly if actions are that of a democratic state.
    UPND as yourseves the same question. Then have deputies of both parties meeting and try to find common ground.
    You will never get HE and HH to discuss.
    The future of Zambia more important than egos

  39. We need the justice system to be independent. We are seeing democracy here in SA being practiced such that even the ordinary persin can make a clear judgement. The minister wants Lungu to applaud him but is forgetting that even the ordinary citizens want answers. Please allow.the concourt to rule on the matter and we will understand and stop taking sides. You are the ones inciting anger because you are perceived to be hypocrites. Try and read these comments and evaluate the ordinary man’s comments. You are governing an angry nation and ine day you will be taken by surprise if you think everyone is ignorant. It is people whi voted who want answers.

  40. Such barbaric acts by police and cadres are brewing tension in this country thereby increasing the depth of division in this once united nation. A genuine leader should find answers to these questions going on in the minds of many Zambians; Why now are people divided among tribal, regional and and political lines? A true leader should seek answers to such questions. The sense of patriotism has been lost and one wonders whether the ‘ Love one another and unite slogans’ KK used to preach in his efforts to put the peoples of this great land together. To the cadres whether PF, UPND or indeed non-partan, please put the love for this country above your partisan interest. Politicians come and go yet this nation will remain. We do not want this country to record a history of civil…

    • Tribalism in Zambia was born the very day Chilufya Sata, & his filthy corrupt dictatorial P.F were declared winners ousting M.M.D.
      On that SAD DAY, years of work put in by K.K, to cure tribalism were undone.
      We were a beacon of tolerance, non tribal existence, & I used to be amazed when I’d witness the tribalism practised by our neighbours, especially Zimbabweans.
      By the time the dirty P.F is finally deposed, Zambians will not only have tribalism as a by product of P.F to worry about, but many other societal ills.
      MARK MY WORDS!

  41. Such barbaric acts by police and cadres are brewing tension in this country thereby increasing the depth of division in this once united nation.

  42. vote

    There is so much hatred among politicians and tribes which is being preached for the sake of political expendience.
    Such barbaric acts by police and cadres are brewing tension in this country thereby increasing the depth of division in this once united nation.

  43. PF cadres and leadership should take stock in some of the critism coming from the opposition and indeed civil organizations as this country is not just about being a PF cadre. We saw this pomposity during the MMD of RB, worshippers and praise singers of RB used to say “Boma ni boma, wako ni wako”, among many unpalatable stuff. You guys need to do an introspection of your political and governance values and practices
