Share

MINISTER of Home Affairs Hon Stephen Kampyongo has warned people allegedly planning to cause confusion in the country to stop as the Law enforcement agencies stand ready to defend and protect the country from law breakers.

He says government is aware of their plans in the name of exercising freedom of speech.

“Government is aware of a conspiracy by some unpatriotic Zambians wanting to protest against the state claiming deterioration of freedom of expression in the country when in fact not and we want to warn them against breaking the law in whatever they intend to do which is not supported by law” Hon Kampyongo said.

He says the names people are conspiring to commit crime and the Zambia Police in conjunction with all security wings are monitoring the events and will ensure the law is enforced on anyone wishing to break it.

The minister was speaking when he commissioned and officially handed over 207 police housing units and 20 units for the Immigration department on the Copperbelt.

The housing units are in Chililabobwe,Kitwe,Kafulafuta,Masaiti and Kalulushi districts.

And inspector general of Police Kakoma Kanganja says his command will not tolerate any group or individuals who want to conduct protests in the name of freedom of speech and expression.

Individuals and groupings that intend to protests against government have being warned by government authorities.

We come with NO pangas, machetes, clubs, carpults, swords, NO guns, stones or anything that can bring harm to any Zambian citizens. We know you have instructed your abused security wings to shoot at armless peaceful protesters, but remember your time katondo boy and your minions is nigh!!!!! Go Zambian youths Go !!! Go Zambian youths Goooooo!!!! Zambia does not belong to the PF thugs alone but to all Zambians and Zambian youths are more than PF.

  2. This is now a dictator government at it’s best. Zambian citizens have their rights and freedom of expression. This government has failed hence they are inability of public institutions to manage public affairs and public resources. Zambia now has Robert Mugabe, Omar al-Bashir, Kim Jong-ll, Than Shwe, Isayas Afewerki, just to mention but a few at state house. PF need to be voted out 2021.

  5. Horrible(Honorable) Stephen Kampyongo. There is a veil in front of you or you just don’t want to listen.

    In Tunisia the whole government was brought down by a single street vendor who burned himself after he had enough of police harrasment and humiliation.
    Right now in the might USA a act of excessive force by a white police man on George Floyd has cost the USA economy millions from the lootings. And this mirrors the Rodney king beatings in Los Angeles which cost president Bush senior his presidency (he lost to Bill Clinton)

    Ba police please we go through the same suffering, the humiliation at the hands of Kampyongo ‘s pf cadres, black outs, high cost of living etc.

In Algeria the youth movement brought down a government, the youth refused to have Abdelaziz Bouteflika stand as a presidential candidate, the intimidation and violence on them failed. In Egypt it was a youth movement which brought down Hosni Mubarak.

  7. My learned brother we are aware of those funding and trying to destabilise the country as they have realised that they can’t win a genuine election. So they have resorted to illegal acts. Majority are opposition and especially the rodents in diaspora. They need to realise that this is tantamount to treason and shouldn’t blame us when the law visits them. Was it not just recently when this boy hh was pleading to be released from jail. He seems to have short memory

    “…. How come they’re aware of such people but they could not be aware of those who were gassing people a few months ago?..”

    It is now becoming clearer that lungu was in the loop concerning the gassings….

    Lungu knew who was doing the gassings and was promised a certain out come from the population which he waited for in vain for 4 weeks while people were being murdered before he appeared to act…

    • . High Unemployment – i.e people willing and able to work are not able to find gainful employment.

      2. Government resorting to desperate measures to revive the economy.

      3. Depreciating currency.

      4. High outward migration.

      5. Increasing yields on Government and corporate bonds.

      6. Contracting industries- thi can be tracked by looking at tax revenues, stock market performance, loan defaults and exports.

      7. Industries become quieter. No activities in the industries

      8.Credit card debt and late payments rise. Never get kaloba (debts). Chances are very high that you will pay triple what you got.

      9. High interest rates- When prices rise too quickly, its a problem. If interest rates are raised too much, economic growth can be choked.

      10. Government starts to panick at…

  11. Stephen Kampyongo stop this nonsense just tell the nation who was behind the gassing of the country you failures if you are governing well why should people resort to protesting which means things are not ok and mind you no one has ever stopped a revolution you should be ready to arrest the whole country you closed Prime TV the only voice for the people now you see that you don’t think well ( very dull chaps surrounding you Mr President) the whole thing is back firing on you and more is yet to come.

  12. You have been warned. All the children of those who are supporting you will be at hime drinking coffee with their parents. When you are harmed don’t start crying, where is the Human Right song which doesn’t even have a chorus. Remember Laura Miti during her protest, instead of protesting she was busy asking people to take picture of herself and send it on Facebook so that the whole world can see. What did the whole world do? NOTING. I have told my children to stay at home and watch TV. After your protest what next. You think American will listen to you. America he it’s own problems. If you are looking for a job, just apply.

  17. No sir, the only people distabilising the nation and causing confusion are the visionless, clueless, selfish thieving people in charge of the country!!

    Common sense tells me that staging a peaceful protest in pushing for what is good for Zambia does not amount to distabilising the nation!

    As a man in charge of home affairs, the minister would do well to allow for people to exercise their freedoms within the confines of the law or quit his position he he does not know the difference between freedom of expression and distabilising a nation!

    Government has capabilities to deal with trouble makers, so the unfounded allegations have no place in a democratic 21st century political space!

    Word of advise to the minister: find the arsonists who burnt markets, find the killers of…

  18. …..find the mukula smugglers, find the gassers, find the owner of 48 houses, find the killers of obed, Lawrence and mapenzi; find the gold thieves, find the guys who delivered wheelborrows instead of fire trucks, find the guys who got paid but never delivered ambulances, find the owner of the ghost company awarded $17 million to supply drugs, find the people behind theft of public funds reported in the FIC mfwiti report…..there is a lot on your desk sir to worst your time on helpless people peacefully exercising their rights

  19. @Spaka we’re talking about authors of civil unrest here, not peaceful demonstrators. Which government supports people planning to cause confusion? Just last night, some rowdies and left wing activists masquerading as sympathisers of the “Black Lives Matter” movement went around causing havoc in my city, south of Germany, damaging property. They felt the full weight of the law as enforcers clamped down on them. We need brains, ideas and strategy to overcome social challenges. Emotions alone won’t take us anywhere!

  23. This statement by the minister is very unfortunate and I quote “Government is aware of a conspiracy by some unpatriotic Zambians wanting to protest against the state claiming deterioration of freedom of expression in the country when in fact not and we want to warn them against breaking the law in whatever they intend to do which is not supported by law” Since when did protesting become a crime? This is evidence that Pf is finnished and scared of the people freely expressing their displeasure. Let us not rely on politicians anymore but let the movement grow like how the movement against one party state grew.

  25. Peace shall continue to prevail in our Country, meanwhile all those planning the demonstrations will continue to be arrested until they become civilised enough to use dialogue. Let the wise hear what Honourable Kampyongo has forewarned. Innocent youths, stay away from protests and think of your own future.

  26. Mr Kampyongo,
    Don’t you think by sending the police to deal with those who want to protest, you are only proving the point that there is reduced freedom of expression?

As for our friend Tarino, it’s a mystery why he keeps insisting that I’m female when I’ve even offered him to visit me and bring his my family along… London is just 50 mins flight away from here and my house is open to all Zambians.

  29. @Iam Watching which part of my comment do you rate stupid? Let’s debate the points objectively. Otherwise, you know that there are no international flights between Europe and Africa but I’m regularly in touch with a lot of people in Zambia, most of who are still ambitious and none is saying their world is coming to an end.

Neneh Cherry – I likened you to the opposite sex as you remind me of my neighbour’s wife when we were kids whose hubby used to beat her to a pulp every evening he came home after a drinking spree and she would come running knocking on our door…when my mother told her she was calling the police ( that time Zambia Police were professional and attended to any emergency) …she protested and insisted he does it because he loves her, sadly his drunkenness and his casanova ways cost both of them their lives to AIDS leaving the kids to be on the streets and losing the house, he was one of the first people I had known at that time to succumb to the disease in the late 80s.

  33. Kampyongo is the only minister of home affairs probably in the whole world whose role is to issue threats. Every statement comes with threats. What is it that this govt is afraid. The levels of intolerance by this govt towards it’s citizens is too much. The PF stiffle demonstrations by citizens, citizens go to social media to air their displeasures, the same minister follows them there also. CITIZENS CAN’T BREATH please.

  34. @kaizar Zulu- I already told you and the rest of the Garbage Administration PF…these tactics won’t work UNIP already tried this low life move trying to intimidate poor people. That’s why we are hear to assure everyone that these tactics won’t work.
    These people are now panicking they can’t shut us up.

  35. Listen to those enjoying tax payers for doing nothing but playing with guns in public threatening the lives of innocent people, remember Albashir is in prison just because of one female student who took it upon herself to protest. Some of you splash our money in public and using poor unemployed youths to beat up innocent Zambians, Seer 1 has stripped you off his powers and we will see this time. Do as I say is gone nowonder you have more confusions in you rotten party. It’s scandal after scandal, speed camera, digital migration,ZRA, RATSA scandals.. Enough is enough…

  39. There was freedom of gassing without arrests, freedom of burning markets without arrests, freedom of criminals taking lives without arrests, now people are tired of getting tortured they notify you of a peaceful protest, you have become very active in informing them that there is no freedom of protesting. Who is dangerous? The peaceful protesters or the thieves, criminals and crooks

  40. We don’t have Police in Zambia, keep up with this annoying attitude and next year you will rote in prison. We need to establish a good recruiting procedure in police. There are alot of dull police officers at the top. We must fire them, arrest them and select educated people to head these institutions.

  42. Kampyongo was sounding Presidential at some point but it looks like he has gone back to his cadre ways. Clever politicians would have allowed the demonstrations, but sadly this PF government is filled with bad advisors. The problem also is that we have a President who does not engage with the electorate
