Incarcerated UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has called on the Zambia Police Service to thoroughly, professionally and speedily investigate what he has described as the regrettable fire that gutted part of Lusaka City Market yesterday.

In a statement issued to QFM News, Mr. Hichilema is also urging Lusaka residents and other people who may have information that led to the fire to assist the police as they investigate.

Mr. Hichilema says a professional, unbiased and conclusive investigation is essential in order to determine the true cause of the fire.

He says this will assist the country in deciding and acting on proactive measures to minimize similar tragedies going forward.

The UPND Leader says this will also help the community to avoid un-researched conclusions as to the cause of the fire given the already negative political situation in the country.

Mr. Hichilema has since offered his sympathy to those who have lost merchandise, property and other valuables in the inferno given the current economic and social difficulties that people are going through.

Below is the full statement

  1. Of course written for him by his sloppy lawyers who omitted to have Amos Chanda and Richard Sakala served with summons in the so-called contempt case where the DPP entered a Nolle. This is all an attempt by the UPND to try and look innocent.

    • If someone had only behaved himself in Mongu, we would be experiencing all these untold miseries in the country. why should he now shed crocodile tears? What did he think when he did what he did?

    • From the same mouth one proclaims Armageddon and also calls for investigating Armageddon acts.

    • These acts sir did NOT just just come out of thin air it’s a culmination of bad seeds of discord that have been planted in people’s minds over a period of time. When you tell people that ”we’ll not accept the elections results” or ”there will be Armageddon what do you think that was doing to the people? Unfortunately to this day some people still ride on those pronouncements you released in the air. So many organisations have declared past elections free and fair, what is so difficult about putting this matter aside and let the country heal and move forward. One shouldn’t be so hard hearted. It’s time we let go and being a new page for the sake of mother Zambia if it really means anything to you. This is where I miss Sata MHSRP, he did hold on to election grudges this long,…

    • Simply calling on authorities to investigate is not enough. Tell people you accept elections results, call for dialogue with the president, burry the hatchet and move on. That’s what will accord you respect and help promote peace in the country. It’s all in your hands, don’t let pride rule you. If you mean well do it for mother Zambia. Be like Mandela whose book you have just been reading.

  2. No crocodile tears will help. Your evil is being displayed clearly to all Zambians. This will make you and your UPND extremely unpopular. What about the ZESCO power lines you have been destroying? Any comment Mr. Prisoner?

    • Imprezza, if HH is detained in a prison, he a detained prisoner convicted or not. How else do you define some one whose home is a prisoner. UPND always denying obvious things. HH and his Free Mason cult have a spell on all those who voted for him. You all accepted to be satanists by casting that vote. You need to repent and stay away from such cultists. The truth has been given from you.

  3. the thinking of the 3 comments above constitutes the total thinking of the PF thats why we have a failed banana republic..when you understand what RULE OF LAW entails you will understand the need for professionally conducted investigations..try to watch EDX or crime and investigations maybe you will learn something..

    • Sometimes when dealing with people of the UPND type, who are still living in stone age, you need to use stone rule of law because that is what they understand. Civility is alien to them. You burn power lines and markets and want to hide behind the rule of law, shame on you!!!

      Your treason and arsonist president is staying longer than you expected in that hotel called prison!!! this is what UPND has called for!!! Do not complain!!!!

  4. Kumwesu ciwelewele. You think fyonse no ba upnd. Are u intelligent. You have no confidence in ur party.

  5. Kumwesu ciwelewele. You think fyonse no ba upnd. Are u intelligent. You have no confidence in ur party.

  6. Crocodile tears wont help you HH because many Zambians already how bad hearted you are!!its your blind and tribal supporters who are burning Zambia because of your refusal to concead defeat in 2016.many of us advised you to behave like Michael Sata if at all you love Zambia,but alas because of your desperation for state house,all our sound advices were in vain.
    Look,you 100% deserve to be in jail.you promised us armegedon,and its exactly happening now.but recall,if you are indeed involved in burning Zambia,our tears will be on you.
    ITS OUR DAILY PRAYER THAT GOD MUST PUNISH SEVERELY WHOEVER IS INVOLVED IN BURNING MOTHER ZAMBIA!!

  7. The decent thing for underfive to do should be to withdraw and apologise publicly for his armageddon statement. We all know that his supporters the zombie UPNDonkeys are simply carrying out his instructions, don’t we?

    This underfive UPNDonkey, does it think we don’t think and see.

  8. Well spoken HH and UPND leadership. You have made a very mature statement. It is very important to avoid un-researched conclusions as to the cause of the fire.

    One can only hope the Police Service will be equal to the task.

  9. The UPND Secretariat has failed to furnish HH on activities of his staunch supporter in UK. HH will be shocked to learn of what Larry Mweetwa has posted in his Facebook in which he congratulated UPND arsonists for burning Lusaka City Market and incited for more sabotage as a reprisal for HH’s arrest.

    Let us pray that Zambians will not vent their anger on HH’s family after the revelation by Larry Mweetwa of UPND’s involvement in criminal activities. HH’s family needs more Govt protection from the wrath of the people offended by arsonists countrywide. MEANWHILE, HH MUST STOP PLAYING INNOCENCE when Mweetwa has actually revealed notable data from the safety of British hospitality.

  10. Under Five Cards and all his supporters are leaving out one important statement – “and punish the culprits severely!” The Under Five Card Supporters are praising Hazaluza Hagain for such a statement which is similar to the UPND issued statement which lacks punitive measures for the culprits. Let this be used as evidence to the treason case too.

  11. Lungu has gone to panic station after failing to declare a state of emergency in Zambia.
    Find the root cause of what is happening in the nation before looking for solutions. State house “ing’angas from Malawi informed Lungu that ‘your presidency will be a tug-of-war with Zambians because votes were not yours’.
    Chickens have come to roost.

  12. is it true hh is the one posting this from prison ,if yes then zambia is a better place to leave in if even hh can post from his new house

  13. nb – they are writing / posting it for him can’t you see that the statement is signed pp which means it was written and signed for him to fool those who does not know what pp means especially the UPNDonkeys who thinks HH can do any thing even if he is in jail.

  14. When a word is uttered it never comes back without results ….you threatened violence and now we’re getting the violence as you promised us. Thank you Mr HH.

  15. How can HH sign PP…this was written by myopic image builders…The State is not stupid to allow Haleya Halenya access to a smart phone or tablet….He can continue to indoctrinate his hallucinating UPND Zealots who are suffering from Amnesia that HH is an ARMAGEDDON crusader having preached it before and after elections with the wife prophesying a volcano…Cage the crusader!
