Kampyongo Warns PF Cadres Who Are In The Habit Of Harassing Citizens and Police Officers

Share

Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo has warned PF cadres who are in the habit of harassing citizens and Police officers in the name of the PF party to desist from doing so.

Mr Kampyongo says the law will take its course against any PF cadres who will be found harassing police officers in the name of the party.

The Home Affairs Minister was speaking when he commissioned the newly built Kabanana police post in Lusaka’s Mandevu Constituency.

Mr Kampyongo encouraged the PF cadres to at all times ensure that the law is followed in airing any grievances other than harassing police officers.

And Mr Kampyongo warned members of the public to desist from breaking infrastructure whenever they have issues with the police.

He said infrastructure such as police posts are built at a huge cost using Public resources hence no one should find pleasure in destroying such facilities.

The Kababana police post has been built at a cost of over K600, 000 using constituency development funds.

At the same event, area Member of Parliament Jean Kapata reiterated the need for residents to look after the facility built at a huge cost.

Ms Kapata said the police post will help reduce high crime levels in the area.

She appealed to the Police command to deploy more police officers to Kabanana to ensure increased patrols.

  1. For PF to talk like this there is something they are looking at. Could it be they want to look good in the eyes of IMF?

  2. After all you are the ones who send them. If it’s not you why are there no arrests? A few days ago your cadres attacked a radio station and the video evidence is all there for you but why haven’t you arrested them?

  3. Its only under pf where have heard a cadre bragging that Ba cadre balikwatapo amaka uchila uli nechipepa(school certificate).

  4. This is one of the the senseless ministers and these men without honors.

    Why are they called honorable when they’re not men with honors?

    PF cadres causing violence everywhere and that’s when he realizes to send police to arrest the violent cadres.

    Whom is he fooling?

    PF must go!

  5. Social science scholars are trying to develop a general theory of how post-colonial states fall apart in the JOURNAL OF POST-COLONIAL STUDIES. They’re almost there.

  6. TOO LATE YOU CH!MPY0NGO A BONAFIDE KAPONYA & YOUR DRUNKEN CLUELESS BOSS J0N@ HAS CAUSED THIS!
    In any functioning State you would NOT even be appointed Chief security officer @ ZCBC or Kanjombe Stores.
    Zambia is now a violent failed state because of Go0nz like you.
    Meantime #P.FMUSTGO!

  7. I think my understanding of what a police post is may be flawed. I wish we could see pictures of the same, 600,000 seems a little too much.
    Aside from that, this pronouncement is just that, a prounouncement, its hard to take the PF serious on such matters.
    Also, the President (with no confidence and luck of authority echoed the same sentiments).

    • I walk by the same place everyday and it looks like it cost k100000 or less.it can’t even hold more than 5 people,corruption may have happened here.

  8. In which country have you ever heard of a bunch of civilians ordering the Police around? Under whose authority can Police allow themselves to be commanded by a bunch of civilians? Kampyongo knows the answer to that question just like we also know. So, what is he talking about?

  9. That small thing costs k600000,I don’t think so.The place can’t even hold 10 people.where can one get the information on what was spent on what?

  10. Talk to KZ as well after gasing innocent Zambians, many died and has not been arrested todate.
    PF must go

  11. What i like about this and many other pathetic situations we find ourselves in is that they depict the true legacy of Sata.How people thought voting for au uneducated brute would move Zambia forward i dont know…

  12. Kampyongo knows that these cadres will even block some of them from going to the convention in July like they did after the demise of late ONE KING COBRA.

  13. Not surprised, this is the price Zambia has to pay for the precedent set out in Sesheke where Police officer doing their work correctly retired prematurely.

  14. I am beginning to like Kampyongo, he has matured and is behaving very presidential. Edgar Lungu seriously needs to consider Kampyongo for running mate.

    • Are you sure? Kampyongo’s constituency shiwang’andu is one of the most brutal in terms of political violence but no one has ever been arrested from there and prosecuted. These PF leaders, those are just pronouncements that do not mean anything

  15. These same thugs will eat you …….wait.

    The day their bribes dry up and the public can no longer stand being extorted and held at ransom by them , they will turn on you kapoyongo and lungu.

  16. KAMPYONGO LISTENVERY CAREFULLY. THESE CADERS WILL TURN AGAINST YOU SOON. THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS BAN CADERISM FROM ZAMBIA AND INVOLVE THE POLICE. THIS IS THE MISTAKE WHICH KK DID IN HIS TIME.. THE CADERS TOOK OVER FROM THE POLICE. LET US HAVE A COUNTRY WITHOUT CADERS. JUST BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO EMPLOYMENT THEM, YOU MADE THEM TO BE FIGHTING INOCENT PEOPLE, INOCENT MEDIA HOUSES.
    WE DONT WANT CADERS.
