Lusambo Calls for Tightened Security at Police Force Headquarters to deal with UPND Cadres

Share

Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo has advised the Zambia police service not to tolerate any form of violence tomorrow when United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakkainde Hichilema appears at Police Force Headquarters where he has been summoned.

Mr Lusambo noted with concern that some people are planning on coming in large numbers to offer solidarity to Mr Hichilema as he appears before the police.

The Provincial Minister highlighted this during the Provincial Development Coordinating Committee (PDCC) 4th Quarter 2020 meeting stating that police should be vigilant to quell any lawlessness among UPND supporters.

“The police should be vigilant in their operations by deploying officers around the city of Lusaka to ensure order prevails” he said.

Mr Lusambo said police has called only one person and he does not expect any one to disturb the peace that Zambians are enjoying when the opposition leader appears before them.

Meanwhile, UPND President lawyer Haimbe Mulambo said Mr Hichilema’s call out is in relation with the acquisition of farm 1924 of Kalomo.

He added that the call out is in relation with a report made by Facebook activist and Economic and Equity Party (EPP) president Chilufya Tayali on allegations that the opposition leader dubiously acquired his Kalomo farm in his capacity as the liquidator of the Lima Bank properties.

Mr Malambo further added that the records show that Mr Hichilema legally acquired the said farm from the administrator of the owner’s estate.

The matter under investigation is actively before the Lusaka High Court.

  1. When I look at this man and the nonsense that he spews out of his mouth I always end up getting disappointed with democracy. There should have been a cut off point for leadership, we should start measuring the stupidity and foolishness of those that seek public office before we let them on the ballot paper.

  2. How dull!!! You can waste money to mobilize military but these days no one needs to be at the police HQ to protest! There are several ways of protesting! People can even stay home, that’s a protest! People can have red stickers on their cars, people can record protest messeges online…..welcome to the 21st century!!

  3. Why not wait for courts to rule if
    Hichilema has a case or not.This
    Unnecessary political anxiety especially in these Corvid times.
    Why are we always worried about
    HH?What we fear will always come to haunt us.

  4. Moto its HH who took the matter to court and Tayali is following procedure in advancing his case both are citizens in there own right

  5. An empty tin making the loudest noise, surprisingly the police are dancing to the noise imagining that it is a song sung and played either by B Flow or Pilato. Let’s dance ba PF Police Force.

  6. Remeber that those are Zambians that are expressing themselves forget about UPND . Its not there fort that things are Bad in this Country its the governments problem.

  7. This moron thinks he is also the president, he is all over the place spewing garbage after garbage, Sata would not have allowed this mischief, alas, with these nincompoops’ anything is possible.

  8. Can’t we let HH enjoy the festive season with his family in peace,
    some have gone on a vacation and are enjoying and I know HH loves to visit his farms with his family during this season, musiyeni muntu.
    its the same tayali who says families come first.

  9. Lusambo is just reacting to the intimidation from Upnd who said that they are going to cause confusion during the time their leader will be questioned by police. Lusambo is the Lusaka Province headman and is very right to ensure there is peace in his area. He will be failing in his duties if he keeps quiet while Upnd continue to threaten the peaceful environment in his area. Besides this matter is not a party matter. It’s an individual matter which does not involve the party. It occured long time ago b4 the Upnd party was formed. One wonders why the Upnd members are jittery.

  10. The police are there to protect the country and are mandated to do so via the constitution. Anyone abrogating the constitution and causing confusion should be dealt with firmly. This includes giving them some dirty Christmas slaps

  11. I don’t understand why the UPND want to turn Hichilema’s criminality into a national crisis. Should Zambians make the mistake and give this goon power there’ll be untold impunity. Why is Hichilema so averse to accountability? He doesn’t want to answer to his misdeeds

  12. As usual, Lusambo nalya ka pushi. Will he ever understand his job?

    BUT THE BIGGER QUESTION IS; What qualities did the appointing authority see in him?

  13. In zambian people have a tendency of saying that they” HATE SOMEONE NATURALLY” whatever this means. This tendency is a common phenomenon including among people who claim to be christians. THIS ALL ISSUE ABOUT HH IS THE TYPICAL ZAMBIAN PHENOMENON OF ” I HATE HIM NATURALLY” PF MEMBERS JUST HATE HIM NATURALLY. WHATEVER THIS MEANS ONLY GOD KNOWS.

  14. Ur actually denting the image of the country to the outside world. Problem of putting uneducated cadres into office is chemical soup for Anarchy in the country. Even a minister of joburg in SA what can he discuss if he seats down with you

  15. I have just seen two bodies lying in cold blood (on Zambian Watchdog). These are the works of PF. Tell me if this is the Zambia you want?

  16. so this is what you call security killing us citizens? this is not about politics but its about the people of zambia and they have a right to express themselves your. PF your time is numbered and all the people you have killed will not rest in peace until justice is given..

  17. Pinky it is easier to label me fake than deal with the points I raise. Let me.guess, because of my flag showing a UK flag due to a security vpn, you think I am fake? You think i am dull to blog using my real IP details when upnd monkeys are desperate to issue cyber attacks or viruses to me. Fuseke

  18. Ru…sh so who his a commander before you allow your d*gs to shout those guys
    did you give them *warning* if not then something is wrong to you guys……… you are working under control.
