State house condemns police

Share

President Edgar Lungu’s  spokesperson Amos Chanda has condemned the police for stopping United Party for National Development (UPND) from conducting their membership renewal exercise.

President Lungu through Chanda has overuled the police and said the UPND should go ahead with the process.

Mr Chanda has also condemned the police for cancelling a church service that was supposed to take place yesterday.

The church service was supposed to thank God for releasing Hakainde Hichilema from jail.

He said he was happy that Religious Minister overruled the police and allow the church service to proceed.

He said that even if the minister Sumaili did not intervene, his boss Lungu was going to overrule the police.

    • How hypocritical and preposterous! So PF want people to think PF does not tell police what to do.

      Feeling Hon Scotland s heat hey?.

      Where is UPND central chairman who was abducted by police?. Is he Dead and PF dont want to be part of it hey ?

      PF can you stop taking Zambians for fools.

    • Have ever heard ECL/State House or ndeed PF Party take any responsibility for any bad action,embarrasenent etc.They always want to distance themselves when it suits them.It’s too late now for the Poor Finishers/Paya Famer (PF),to decieve anybody.Even the gullible and useful i.d.i.o.t.s have awakened up.

    • @ I concur with you the Priest.Look at the morality of Dora Siliya with her known lover.It’s a terrible mess and ECL is dead silent about it.I don’t know what moral guidance Sumaili has given to ECL’s Cabinet Ministers.Generally there is moral decay in higher offices.I tbought tnis Ministry will.bring sanity among our national leadership, especially those in government.

    • Hi Jay Jay,

      I just wanted to add my voice to your comment, which is; I think the Police have become confused due to persistent interventions in the past, whereby they have had to be told which way to go at every turn and have become conditioned to unprofessional conduct. This is what happens if Police are not allowed to operate professionally. It is the same way the DPP is behaving, she is programmed to certain decisions, and soon she will also be left alone,soon. These are politicians, and in Africa!
      It is not rally about the I.G, he is also confused which way to go!

    • I think its IG who is confused here…he is like a dog trained by his Boer master to attack all blacks except the workers …but he is punished when he attacks a black guy who comes with the master.

  1. I thought PF have in the past said they don’t interfere with decisions made by the Police. Chanda is on record saying Police make their own rational decisions based on intelligent reports which we are told are in the best interest of the nation and as such, no one should interfere in their work. Isn’t this not interfering? Just asking

    • I pit the Reverand-Sumaili(Minister of Nationsl Guidance……..).This woman has a mammoth task to bring moral guidance to the PF Leadership,especially at State House & Cabinet .It seems she has only concentrated on christian spiritual issues where she is big time messing up.

  2. This is all a calculated move by Mr Jonathan like we have said in the past. He makes a pronouncement (this time through Police), then reverses it. This is to enable praise-singers to go about with the “He is a listening President” song… Watch tonight’s news on ZNBC how cadres will be given airspace on this topic, you will hear all manner of praises: “All hail King Jonathan, our listening ruler”

  3. Uturn of kupimisa
    Uturn on Treason
    Uturn on Tayali
    Uturn on Chishimba
    Uturn on maize exports
    Uturn on tariffs
    Uturn on veg exports
    Uturn on mineral royalty
    Uturn on disaster stadium

    Now Uturn on Prayers?

    Hehehe
    Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing in this Pathetic Front? Lol

  4. If the IG survives this one Lungu owes him is life….
    As I have said in the past the current IG is the worst one Zambia as ever produced….this is what happens when you get a job without proper qualifications. From Malonda to IG…

    • I beg to differ. This is not really about the IG. Perhaps, allow me to quote an earlier comment on this thread by Zambian: “Hi Jay Jay,

      I just wanted to add my voice to your comment, which is; I think the Police have become confused due to persistent interventions in the past, whereby they have had to be told which way to go at every turn and have become conditioned to unprofessional conduct.

      It is not rally about the I.G, he is also confused which way to go!”

  5. If police are incomptent remove the Inspector General and some people who are not doing their job! Even losers like JJ and the clan are made to think they are smart and that other people don’t think because of mistakes of some incomptent chaps!

    • These calls to remove the IG Kanganja are all tribal talk. Why remove the IG when it is clear that all the shots are called by Lungu’s Eastern protege Nelson Phiri from Rupiah Banda’s village. Clearly Kanganja has no real powers and it is Nelson Phiri from eastern province making all these mistakes.
      Phiri is the one who arrested Hichilema; Phiri is the one that cancelled the thanks giving prayers; Phiri is the one that cancelled the UPND card renewal, etc….everything is about Phiri but all these id.iots are calling for Kakoma (not Phiri) to be fired – is that fair. There is too much tribalism here you mother fckers!! Phiri eats too much vinkubala and has become power drunk!!

    • You, your lust for the Tonga man HH knows no bounds….do you have time for your husband at this rate , that is if you have a husband.

    • Sharon: look at how many people don’t like your post! Is this country going in the right direction? Your comment is very important but we still have some people not agreeing with you. It’s so unbelievable

  6. The fact also remains that we have an incompetent Police Force (PF) that is taking away the basic rights of Zambians.

    Zambia is surely in reverse, regardless of who is in the opposition. This ruling party is not taking the country in a consistent and progressive direction. They are an inconsistent and regressive lot. I challenge anyone to suggest otherwise.

  7. Mr lungu must be commended for this…..hopfully he is over tilling the PF thugs in statehouse and sees the roadmap as prescribed by the commonwealth SG as the only sensible route to take for the sake of Zambia..

    Mr lungu still had 4 yrs left to steer away from the thuggery of PF and the Mugabe route. He will find broad support if he rules with morals and within the confines of democracy worthy for our youth to emulate..

    No one will listen to HH.

  8. This is the way to go Amos! Thanks for getting back in tune. Pass my regards to eagle 1. Go a step further and replace the IG and his top team. Still go even further and revoke the TSOE. Buju thinks TSOE is a Licence to amass kwachas through harassment. This is causing more resentment against the P.I.G. We want you guys to succeed. Don’t be scared of opposing views or criticisms. Diversity of thought is healthy and should never be hindered. Lastly, allow the Post to re-open and allow civic space to thrive again and keep away from the bad company of dictators. Let 2021 be better than 2016. Let the losers be convinced that they have genuinely lost by running a credible electoral process and that requires disbanding the 2016 ECZ bunch! Viva Zed!

  9. In as much as I would dearly like to blame Kanganjya I see the hand of people like Kampyongo; Kaizer; mumbi behind this of cancelling the prayers and refusing permits to UPND for party card renewals. The I.G. does not have the capacity to act intelligently or proffesionally. In the past the I.G. has become a puppet in the hands of this unholy trio and I am sure they are still making him dance to dunnuna reverse.

  10. Sorry the damage is already done people know it is PF which cancelled everything. Gone are the days when people were quite now they have know the leopard in the sheep’s skin and no more abuse of peoplea freedom. Police in trouble as they have no one to support them

  11. Mr chanda said he was given a rolex watch as a present for his work when he was overseas. This is the presidents spokesperson, re read what he said, the president through amos Chandra has OVERTURNED the decision by the police. Two points here, 1 PF constantly states that the president doesnt interfere in the police decisions, well he has admitted that the pyresident does 2 what power does Amos Chanda have to instruct the police to reverse the decision. Amos Chanda has no power to instruct the police but here he admits that he does, further on he states that it was the religious affairs minister that overturned the police decision. For a so called workd class spokesman he has embarrased the president personally, the government and more so the integrity of Zambia. The world reads…

  12. This nosense from Amos Chanda. How can the Commander in Chief of ZPS condemn his Police Force? If Sadist and Dictator Lungu made a mistake he should just apologise to the Organisers,HH and the Nation. There is a change of tactics by Lungu so watch out of traps from this hypocrite.

  13. Sharon or whoever ypu are have you ever bothered to research the FreeMasons , they are actually christian based. Have you ever been to a freemason lodge. You nonresearched ideology rants do not help the situation in zambia…all ypu do is attract posts on LT for your paymasters. When you use that brain of yours to comment on topic at hand without resorting to HH this, tthree mansions that under five pipo might actually think that you actually care for zambia not just you repressed ego that has to massaged to give you a sense of self importznce. Grow up

    • Masalamuso I totaly agree with you on this irritating brainless creature sharon. if she is a paid blogger then whoever is paying her must have money to waste.

    • @ Masalamuso

      What else can you expect from the member of PF “intelligentsia”?
      Definitely not knowledge.
      For them inbreed 5tupidity its a gift from “anointed” one.

  14. This is the Problem when a country is being run by a Visionless Leader. Its Chipante pante all the way. Jonathan Lungu doesn’t know how to allocate and demarcate responsibilities. He doesn’t know how to distinguish the role of the PF Party and Govt. Lungu has politicised all govt institutions and hence Mumbi Phiri who is a mere PF Cadre can order the Police to stop the Prayers by sending heavily armed Policemen to cordon off the Cathedral. There are too many spokesmen from govt and PF Party. Its strange how a commander can condemn his own Police Force. One hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. Having standing instructions to destabilise everything that HH and UPND do the PF Police Force is now confused. There are too many Political Commanders ordering the ZPS to do this or…

  15. It’s good to remember someone in good faith
    We not happy with the PF gvt stop someone to worship the creator, ni 666 ?
