Government says it will deploy adequate security to police Chilanga district ahead of the parliamentary by election in the district in order to quell any pockets of violence.
Minister of Home Affairs Steven Kampyongo told journalists in Chilanga that necessary arrangements have been made to ensure that Zambia Police deals with any pockets of violence in the ongoing campaigns.
Mr. Kampyongo warned that Police will deal decisively with perpetrators of violence regardless of their political affiliation.
The Home Affairs Minister said it is imperative that all political parties and stakeholders refrain from violence and conduct their campaigns peacefully.
The Chilanga seat fell vacant following the incarceration of former Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND), Member of Parliament Keith Mukata.
The Patriotic Front (PF), is fielding Maria Langa while the opposition UPND is fielding Charmaine Musonda in the by election slated for June 5, 2018.
The violence PF is starting will just come back to haunt them!
I seen violence in Kampyongo’s eyes!
Just say you want to rig Chilanga election imwe ba Kawalala.
liverpool or ist liverpool’s egyptian striker made a meal out of his injury knowing full well he was not playing the likes of west ham,watford whom he scores goals at will.
yesterday’s game proved most zambians have a very limited knowledge about other leagues in europe and most zambians have colonial mentality and somehow stone aged thinking and very brain washed, they way they worship useless English PREMIER LEAGUE shocked me. there is no football in EPL just noise and over hyping from the british media and its sidekick or ist syomphant supersport. infact i was shocked liverpool tried at least.
Stake are high.
Upnd would not, like late Tetamashimba would put it, allow PF to fish in it’s fishpond on one hand. PF wants to upset, over turn and grab the seat from the HH boys. Indeed, the stakes are high.
But it ain’t about fists but policies. All the hauling of punches will not solve people’s obvious problems. Just sell your agendas to the beautiful people of Chilanga.
Kampyongo starts violence himself why should he trouble officers when he knows its his colleagues from intercity whom he mobilises to go and terrorise innocent people. Kamyongo knows his friends and colleagues called comnando and Boman Lusambo the chief bootlicker combined together its always anarchy. Therefire the masquarading minister of home affairs needs to shut up he has no solution to end violence.
Our youths have nothing to do. this is the result.
Think about banning UPND it is a terrorist group
That is serious allegation without facts. Think twice before you open your……….
But it’s true. The UPNDEADs are a violent terrorist group; a gang of bitter lots thugs.
Mr. Kudos is damn right.
A cultic hooliganic gang of bitter lots thugs.
Nice thought kapoyongo…..lets hope the police act like police for all Zambians…
One day, instead of deploying the police consider withdrawing them deliver a truckload of executive caskets to bury cadres that shall die during campaigns. Please encourage them to kill each other because those that shall perish will never ever participate in future violence. It seems your efforts to restrain them don’t yield anything. I think they enjoy being violent, it’s you deploy officers to other need areas
But why do people result in fighting or attacking their friends instead of just explaining issues. God is watching u from wat ever chi party u are coming from.
I thought they already deployed adequate police.
No comment, just waiting for June 5.
Will Zambia’s c-i-c please step forward as late LPM would have done?
The selling of mines together with houses has contributed negatively to lack of employment in the country. It was only in copperbelt where people used to get employment. In fact copperbelt was a unifying province in Zambia. Today Zambia is a tribal nation with no unifying province. The so called educated people HH failed to see this point. Political violence is as the result of poor planning by those who sold the mines and mine houses. I can’t vote in Zambia unless I became a fool.

Really laughable Kampyongo bringing his own secruity…surely this guy used to be a Katondo Street Currency Dealer what good can out of such an individual.
Political violence will never end as long as Shiwangandu mafias remain uncaged
Mapatizya formula thugs.
@akashambatwa Liverpool were cheated by the intentional injury of Mohammed Salah by Sergio Ramos- that was an intentional injury- had Salah stayed down and acted it out there and then Ramos would’ve got a Red card but Salah being a hard worker tried to show he was ok only to succumb to the pain after the incident. Secondly Liverpool don’t have a Goal Keeper that goalie of theirs has let them down throughout the season, and they also need to replace at least 2 of their defenders. If they can do that believe me Liverpool will be an unstoppable force next year. They wouldve beaten Real who have performed poorly in La Liga had Salah remained in the game!
Any sane leader would NEVER have appointed this G0rrill@ shiwan’gandu helicopter terr.0.ris,t to any minesterial position.
Problem in Zambia is we currently have a clients cash embezzling compound drunk @ the helm, & anything goes as long as his Shiwangandu k0lw.e is sheilding Kachasu man’s theiving.
PF is lawless. Imagine a government failing to create law and order in the country. Always bent on establishing a police state. Ine nanaka nabo
Throwing in more police? I would have thought it is effeciency that is the problem not numbers.
When you lock them this time put them in the same cell with that chronic loser of elections.
