Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo says Lusaka City is peaceful for both residents and travelers.
In a statement following following Lusaka Mayor Miles Sampa’s claims that he was abducted by some PF thugs on Monday, Mr Lusambo said he felt duty bound to set the record straight and allay any fears that Lusaka might be unsafe for residents and visitors alike.
Mr. Lusambo said Lusaka remains peaceful as ever and all law enforcement agencies have continued conducting their normal operations noting that, “there is and there has never been any cause for alarm.”
He has since distanced the good people of the greater City of Lusaka from the narrative suggesting that there is lawlessness in the capital City.
“I have been alerted to a news story doing rounds on international media platforms regarding a statement issued by His Worship the Mayor of Lusaka Councillor Miles Sampa to the effect that he was kidnapped by some known elements while undertaking his official duties in the City.
“As Lusaka Province Minister, I feel duty bound to set the record straight and allay any fears that Lusaka might be unsafe for residents and visitors alike. I wish to state that our beautiful City remains peaceful as ever and our law enforcement agencies have continued conducting their normal duties. There is and there has never been any cause for alarm. There is no case of kidnapping filed by anyone at any police station in Lusaka or anywhere else across the country,” said Mr. Lusambo.
The Minister in charge of Lusaka has cautioned of the moral duty entrusted to all those in leadership to portray exemplary traits that do not betray the collective trust and faith that Zambians have placed on government.
Mr. Lusambo further reiterated that Lusaka mirrors the entire aspirations of the nation and it is important that the international community continues to view the Capital City as a haven of peace as it has always been known.
“The country that His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is governing is peaceful, stable and everyone can freely move across this beautiful nation.
“It is therefore important that I forthwith distance the good people of this great City of Lusaka from the narrative that could be created with this episode,” he added.
a house divided. what is the motivation for you and the Major?
We told you Lusambo and PF that Miles Chipuba sana. How you picked him as Mayor and pouring all ravishing campaigns was a shock.
Indeed PF are things.
Lusambo is not in Lusaka for he doesn’t know crime which goes on in the compounds. Welive in fear all the time especially at night!Investigate before you susha.You want to destroy him the way you have destroyed the PF original
New Mayor?
Its a only a matter of time before these foools clash ….cadre state capture indeed.
Once upon a time Animo Farm and UPND used to code it! I uncoded its tribalism. I am glad now they have uncoded it themselves and are talking about talking about “Thieves!” Sadly they want “Thieves”in order for them to win! (NOTE: They don’t like them but only want their vote and people to parade!) I am now waiting to hear why they hate President Lungu since he is not a “Thief!” Oh! “Corruption” code! I don’t know how HH the real corrupt thug is not “Corrupt!” Okay! I get it! SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL TEAM BADALA!
“The country that His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is governing is peaceful, stable and everyone can freely move across this beautiful nation.”
There is NO speech from this CADRE the does not mention his boss.
Bowman, you have started working hard we can see but have confidence by leaving out your title and President Lungu in your language. Show some element of independence. I am PF
On a serious note, there is serious effort from bootlicker work wise. The problem is his party which is bringing him down, one Amos Chanda is busy insulting big, privately recorded for us to know who he really is, Another chap is now busy moving with guns – okay we know for a long time that this one has been a joker, but its getting worse, how do you expose yourself with guns like this, aren’t some of these things mental issues.
Just accept that you put up a moron for a mayor. Ati I own guns and I will start boxing lessons to protect myself? Mwaiche they will come with bazookers and smoke you out of your safe haven. A mayor acting like a policeman? Naimwe Balusambo, Edgar this, edgar that, you must be a misguided nincompoop without clout of your own. Just say what you want to say period. You suck!
I think Lusaka has a lot to offer as a tourist destination. How to make more people think of it?
Confusion amongst the ???? sheep has began…the next thing to do is to hit the shepherd on the head and all the sheep ll scatter…I rest my case
Lusambo acting like a headless chicken. In the name of the president all the time and in very poor English. He must have only reached grade 3.
Protecting the trigger happy madman in form of a mayor. Ati niba James Bond. Just one shot and all will be quiet. Never play guns mwaiche. They say He who plays guns will be done by guns. Stay away from that small gun.
Disaster!!!!!
ati “his worship the mayor” yangu tata….
