Mwaliteta Warns Youths taking advantage of the celebratory mood to engage in criminal activities

Share

United Party for National Development (UPND) Lusaka Province Chairperson Obvious Mwaliteta has advised youths in the party not to be vindictive by harassing their Patriotic Front-PF counterparts.

Mr. Mwaliteta says the UPND wants sanity to prevail among Zambians regardless of political affiliations.

He has also cautioned those that might take advantage of the UPND’s celebratory mood to commit theft and vandalism that they would not be shielded from arrest by the police.

Mr. Mwaliteta said this in a walk-in-interview with ZNBC News in Lusaka this morning.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mwaliteta has implored UPND youths to act responsibly and maintain peace and order as they celebrate the victory of the party.

He said it is cardinal for the UPND to maintain peace and order because the party owes its success to all Zambians.

And UPND Deputy National Youth Spokesperson Phinia Pumulo has cautioned all youths against engaging in criminal activities in the name of celebrating the election of UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema.

Mr. Pumulo says the Police will ACT professionally and arrest anyone found engaged in criminal activities.

He has clarified that the purported takeover of some markets and bus stations by alleged UPND cadres, does not have the blessings of the party leadership.

Mr. Pumulo told ZNBC News in a walk-in interview that the UPND leadership will keep its promise of leaving the running and controlling of markets and bus stations to local councils.

He said people that trade in markets and bus stations should NOT be harassed anymore because the UPND has formed Government

    We missed you and were worried for you over the last few days. It is good to see that you managed not to be buried by the landslide wherever you went to.

  8. Ah! This is a harbinger of things to come and it MUST be stopped immediately. Mwaliteta is a party official and neither a government minister nor a government spokesman. Mwaliteta has no power whatsoever to warn anyone. We condemned PF for such cadre behaviour and we condemn it in UPND as well. President elect HH must not allow this to continue. It is time we separated the party from government. Mr Mwaliteta, please wait until you are appointed into government before you can issue threats. Right now, you are just an ordinary citizen, a cadre perhaps, but we have rejected cadreism in Zambia. Let the professional police service do its job. By the way, I vote for Shapa Wakunguma as deputy IG operations. Return Bonnie Kapeso as IG. Kakoma Kanganja demoted to civilian.

  9. Welcome KZ. Just waiting for some new insults.
    I heard that your party has worn by 500,000 votes and someone has handed over power to HIMSELF. When is the inauguration ceremony and I would also like to invite myself to Your party. PARTY after PARTY after PARTY.
