Lusambo insists gassing is politically motivated

Share

Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo has reiterated that the gassing incidents currently happening in Zambia are politically motivated meant to dent the image of the PF government.

Mr Lusambo says the gassing is a scheme that started with the burning of markets and sabotaging of Zesco infrastructure to push for change of government.

He however said that Lusaka is not under threat as enough security personnel has been deployed to ensure the safety of residents.

Speaking at the PF Media Interactive Forum in Lusaka today, Mr Lusambo alleged that the lawlessness happening is being motivated by the UPND who are pushing for regime change in Zambia.

Mr Lusambo assured the Lusaka residents that government is on top of things and managing the affairs of the nation.

Meanwhile Mr Lusanbo said in the quest to bring culprits to book, the Police will arrest even media houses that are helping enemies of the state to carry out their criminal acts.

He said no one will be spared and government will ensure that such media houses are meant to account for their acts.

And Mr Lusambo has accused the UPND Members of Parliament of deliberately refusing to acknowledge the development currently taking place in Southern Province.

He cited the construction of a New bus terminus and Market in Livingstone as some of the Development projects which the UPND MPs have refused to acknowledge.

Mr Lusambo said President Edgar Lungu deserve compensation for ensuring that Southern Province equally benefit from the various developments happening in the nation.

  2. Talk peace and reconciliation not finger pointing. Focus on arresting all involved in the criminal instant justice mobs be they PF or UPND. Already normacy is returning because the Police are rounding up all the thugs that have been attacking innocent suspects as a result of the mass hysteria created by selfish politicians.

The PF government have lost a grip on how to govern the country and now they have to find every lie to try and poison the peoples .The guy appearing in court in Chingola is a PF cadre .What the PF police should be doing is finding the people behind these awful cases of gassing of innocent people and not crying whof whof whof like lusambo and Esther are going .

  4. The PF have lost a grip on how to govern the country and now they have to find every lie possible to try and poison the people mind .The guy appearing in court in Chingola is a PF cadre and all what the PF police need to do is find the people funding the people Crying whof ! whof ! is not going to help anyone .

  5. It is so so shameful to note that the ruling is the one to the forefront of accusing the opposition. Why not provide evidence to the police so that they answer for their crimes. why is the government, busy rushing to the media? Stop tarnishing the name of the opposition. We all know HH is a serious threat for 2021general elections. Fight in elections and not this cheap propaganda

  6. This is simple and straight forward we don’t need FBI or CIA to come and do the investigation for us.Who doesn’t know the culprits unless one was born yesterday.1+1=2 simple.I for one I wonder why people even support this barbaric acts done by this Satanist who as no love for the people of Zambia.He should know that the blood he is spilling is crying in the soil, he will soon be caught.GOD as heard the cries of his saints and will vindicate us.

  7. Lusambo is a joke… ECL & PF have FAILED TO MAXIMISE ZAMBIAN POTENTIAL.. The only thing ECL has maximised is his pockets together with the Cadres that he NEEDS to please to stay in power. Give a chance to a leader like HH who has demonstrated in his life that he can develop Zambia. Not only has he proven his ability as opposition leader under difficult circumstances you will never face.. But the Late SATA faced, He is AUTHENTIC… ECL could not have lasted a month in opposition as leader but stumbled into the job, but the Job is too big for him and hence the unprecedented INCOMPETENCE.

  8. No mercy for this ***** and no international organization to speak for him because his international supporters are quiet because they are also in need of this blood.The calabash will be broken soon and no blood will be stored in that vessel.

  9. It is such kind of talk that keep tensions high in the country.

    Your words, Lusambo, divide the country. Let’s not forget that the opposition you a maligning have support of at least half the electorate.

  10. These corrupt morons like Bowman who have so much to lose when demigod Lungu and PF are kicked out power dont mean well for Zambia….I mean where would such dumb moron like Bowman go to apart from going back to throwing stones and ordering call boys for hire.

  11. ndungusakuwa – The problem is that Zambians we are too forgetful. Not long ago someone went to drink blood of a snake under the guise of being Army Commander. What has follows after that snake eating exercise? The vampire is now thirst for human blood after drinking blood of the snake.

  12. #Zedforward you are assuming that the likes of Lusambo have an interest in lowering political tensions and uniting the country? Far from it! A politically and tribally divided country suits them very much as it keeps people’s attention on fighting one another rather than on the performance of their leaders in government. Sadly, a number of Zambians fall for it time and time again.

  13. The silence and inaction by PF points to some involvement in this unrest.

    Pf were hoping the UPND will get blamed by the population of zambia, but what PF did not bargain for in their scheme is that questions like….how come these gassing allegations are happening in PF strongholds with pf thugs all over the place …..and Zambians now realise no other group in Zambia apart from the state and pf under the ZP protection can carry out a sustained gassing campain…

  14. We ask lusambo , how come the fires ravaging the nation only stoped after lungu and kapoyongo got paid from the 42/42 deal ?????

    While 42/42 was still being discussed and signed , the arsonists were very busy setting fires trying to reinforce the need for 42/42 ……as soon as the money was paid miracles happened and the fires stopped

  15. Listen to Bowman being so proud to refer to the construction of a bus station and market in the entire Southern Province as development

  16. Every time I come across comments as Lusambo’s I am drawn to the fact that Zambians folly of shying away from exalting education and rejoicing in mediocrity gives the country the below villager leadership that the country is wallowing in! There is no tangible reasonable development that the PF has delivered more than politicking, ethnic divisiveness, finger pointing, selective national purse distribution and, weaponizing what is deservedly people’s entitlements and rights against the citizenry! Zambians must not bemoan the backlash of bad election choices and accept being the architects of the results now pertaining with the kind of leadership managing the country. We should applaud Rwanda for its development agenda and leadership as now it’s become a darling example of commitment to…

  17. “Mr Lusambo said President Edgar Lungu deserve compensation for ensuring that Southern Province equally benefit from the various developments happening in the nation” Pathetic! This statement alone, sums up the PF so-called leadership. They are stuck way back in the evolutionary chart.

    Southern Province is not part of Zambia? What foolishness!

  19. Just deal with the problem. Talk less and work more. It is the duty of the state to ensure that there is law and order in the country, not to give explanations as to why the citizens can’t enjoy their peace.

  20. If indeed UPND is responsible I really wonder scheming such gruesome BARBARISM violence. If only PF supporters were the only ones accusing UPND I wouldn’t take it seriously.Catholic Archbishop Alick Banda twice has bemoaned to the public that politicians shouldn’t “kill for the sake of leadership “clearly the Catholic canonical group deeply knows the ones behind gassing terrorism for innocent people.

  21. Many of us are tired of such childish talk coming from adults of his age. Baba just do your work as people in power and make lives for the people better. HH commands half the country now and with this kind of cheap politics he will be above 3 quarters and it will be too late to sugarcoat anything. Great disaster in PFyaka.
    Disaster.

  22. Kenya rounded up n cleared all terrorists in under 24hrs…n z president had a press briefing to assure the nation o was well

  23. But do we have the intelligence to gate the criminals behind this act? If we do than it’s all good we keep quiet, Put action first

  24. He knows a lot, trying to divert attention. FIB or Scotland Yard would have closed this case by now. Next you will fires investigating agents for questioning you for evidence. Citizens have had enough of “monkey” games.

  25. @Kaizar Zulu who are to close in, no wonder you have been misleading the President. Governance is not for circus masters, rise above your greed, envy, jealousy, deceit and lack of self awareness.
    You can do better for this country.

  26. Zambian people, this fool Kaizer Zulu was seen in mumbwa with Indians Sunday. Whether we like it or not, Kaizer is one of the masterminders. Kaizer why did residents wanted to kill you? Why were you rushed at the mumbwa airforce on Sunday? So, you claim to be in Russia where you are have not even gone? I’m embecile. I have prophesied, soon you’ll be behind bars.

  28. I CANNOT BELIEVE PRESIDENT J0N.@THAN CHAK0LWA IS NOT ONLY VISIONLESS, BUT LACKS ANY INSIGHT HOW GUMU -GUMU’S LIKE LUSAMB0 ARE DE -CAMPAIGNING HIM ON A DAILY BASIS.
    Surely ba J0n.@ is a Lawyer, & should realise vile scu.mbags like Lus@mb0 will abandon him the very day he loses power, just like Rupiah was dropped like a hot potato when he lost.
    Only whilst sitting in a Jail cell to answer for atrocities committed by Bandits like Lusamb0 & (Ch!no)yongo on his behalf & sober for a change, will ba J0.na cry tears of despair, with Coffindozer nowhere near to be seen.

  29. You talk like you are talking to kids. I think Zambians know what’s happening. Just concentrate on looking for blood otherwise someone will soon be walking ubuneke in public. And I wouldn’t be surprised if blood collection road blocks are soon set up pama tow gates.

  30. This mans an illiterate person he was an MMD begger now a rich corrupt criminal With PF partners amazing what money can do ??? Lusambo go back to your hole and get off the political platform as you don’t even have a high school certificate . Wait till there’s a change then you’ll be back to your begging bowl …

  31. This time if try to rig elections we will deal with you squarely., You vision less *****s, you want bring Zimbabwe tricks here.

  32. Anytime this guy stands up to talk you already know the end of the story (UPND or HH) it’s like a Nigerian movie once it starts you already know the end and these PF guys has really campaigned for UPND job well done keep it up Lusambo keep on campaigning.
