“We are giving police 48 hours to arrest criminals who destroyed a building and burnt UPND campaign regalia failure to which we will apprehend known Patriotic Front members who committed the act,” United Party for National Development (UPND) deputy National Youth Chairman Stephen Chikota has warned.
Reacting to a video that has gone viral showing known PF members are seen burning UPND campaign materials and insulting the party President, Mr Chikota said it is sad that no action has been taken against the culprits despite the case being reported to police.
“We are capable of hitting back if this lawlessness is allowed to continue and we are giving police 48 hours to arrest these known culprits. We are not telling when and how we will arrest them but we are definitely getting them,” Mr Chikota said.
He was speaking at the party’s New Youth Command Centre in Villa, Thornpark when he addressed the press yesterday afternoon.
Speaking at the same event, Lusaka Province Party Youth Chairman Anderson Banda asked all PF youths who are being disowned by their leaders to realise that they are always abandoned to face the face law alone after being used to cause violence and insult innocent citizens.
He appealed to the police command to immediately bring to book cadres perpetuating violence.
And National Youth Secretary Samuel Ngwira has wondered how many times President Lungu is going to be giving ultimatum to a non performing Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja.
Mr Ngwira said a few months after the extra judicial killings of Thomas Nsama and Bruce Kaunda near cabinet office in Lusaka, Mr Lungu told the nation that he was only giving Kanganja a few months to conclude the investigation of the two citizens.
He said Mr. Lungu should not waste time threatening to fire Mr Kanganja but must maintain him so that they can be fired together on the 12th August as Zambians are resolved and convinced beyond reason doubt to change government this year.
We all knew this was an act engineered by this thuggish & financially bankrupt GRZ of Perpetrators Front party.
UPND and its toothless ultimatums. 48 hours and then what? Too much talk from this party and no action. PF understands only one language. Violence. Respond in kind. It is almost elections and you, UPND, are not giving us the confidence to come out and vote for you. You cannot even protect yourselves.
If it was UPND Cadres who had committed this Crime ZPS would have arrested the Culprits by now. Becoz its PF Culprits they are untouchable. Should these PF Culprits be arrested in 48 hours time the Political motivated Policy of “Catch and Release” will apply. Where is the killer of Nsama Nsama and Joseph Kaunda? This Selective Application of law has encouraged lawlessness among PF Cadres. What has ZPS done about the intra Party fracas that happened at the PF Secretariat recently? All we heard were threats to fire I.G Kanganja for PF internal violence. The problem is that PF have tolerated and promoted the emergency of PF Militias loyal to individual PF Leaders. Until these PF Militias,Vigilantes and Warlords are disbanded intra Party violence in PF will escalate as we approach the…
IN MY OPINION, PF HAS IT AND HAS CONFUSED THE POLICE BECAUSE WHEN PARLIAMENT IS DISOLVED IN 8 DAYS TIME, POLICE WILL REMAIN WITH IG’S INSTRUCTION ONLY AND NOMORE KAMPYONGO. YES WE KNOW THAT THE TOP LEADERS PUT IN PLACE ARE PF CADRES TO HELP THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF, BUT I SEE FIRE BECAUSE THEY ALSO HAVE RELATIVES WHO ARE IN OPPOSITION TOO WHO WILL NOT DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING IN THE PAST. BA PRESIDENT ECL BE AWARE WITH AND BE AT ALERT BECAUSE WHAT IS COMING UP MAY DESTROY OUR PEACE AND THE BLAME WILL BE ON YOU.
Chief Mukuni also gave Kampyongo 48 hrs but what happened
If UPND seek revenge violence will escalate. If nothing is done to the PF Culprits they will be encouraged to escalate their criminal activities. The PF Cadres fought each other at the PF Secretariat and nothing has been done to the Culprits. Unless something drastic is done to stop this thuggery and violence the situation will get worse as we approach the Crucial August Elections. It looks like Dr Sishuwa Sishuwa is already being vindicated. At this rate the signs that Zambia will have violent, rigged and disputed Elections are visible. ECL is doing nothing to assure International Election Monitors and Observers that the August 12 Elections will be free,fair,credible and peaceful . EU were told that this man is “A wolf in a sheepskin “. Now its all there for all to see!The writing…

UPND you say you them. Help the police to have them arrested. That video only shows their backs and voices. I challenge to show the police in 48. Again, you have these 48 second hand indian Mahindra jeeps from construction sites of Lusaka fly over bridges.Soon you will deliberately damage them and claim PF cadres are involved. We know these tactics.
Just like ZP, LT seems powerless to do anything about this imposter troll that is continuously insulting on this forum.
I give you two minutes…I shall at the count of five…you have 24 hours….you have three days…Action therizno
It is not wrong to keep quiet if one has nothing of value to contribute. But bambi awe bwafya. Let us by our deeds be judged.
When military coups were the in-thing on the continent, the new rulers would try members of the overthrown regime in an open court and the most favored being national sports stadiums! This meant that the citizenry would hear for itself the explanations the removed leaders gave before being ‘sentenced’! Zambia has been ever at peace never experienced such except the warnings by Luchembe and Solo that bad leadership does irritate some among the citizenry. I wonder what our police leadership would say to explain their skewed handling of law and order if this were the circumstance Zambia found itself in!
If the UPND youth indeed have the names of these culprits, why not throw them out in the open? This means nothing and PF laughs their heads off
