Zambia Police urged to deal with cadres that have resurfaced in public markets and bus stations

Share

The United Party for National Development (UPND) leadership in Muchinga Province has called on the Zambia Police and Council police to intensify patrols in markets and bus stations and deal with cadres who have resurfaced in public places.

UPND Muchinga Province Coordinator Frederick Chimeya said directives by President Hakainde Hichilema to remove cadres in markets and bus stations should be followed.

Mr. Chimeya said cadres are reported to have resurfaced in some markets and bus stations despite the final directive to stop the trend by the President.

He noted that the revenue base for local authorities has improved after the councils took over running of markets and bus stations.

He observed that allowing the councils to take charge of markets and bus stations will benefit every citizen unlike if few individuals collect revenue.

“I humbly advocate for intensified patrols in Muchinga Province through by combined team of both Zambia Police and councils to stop cadres in streets, markets and bus stations,” said Mr. Chimeya.

He has since urged members of the public to ensure cadres do not resurface as such will cause chaos in public places.

  1. Why does the police need instructions from State House to come into action? They didn’t need instructions to take bribes from unsuspecting motorists!

  2. Urged the community to ensure the cadres don’t return… community? Those cadres are from the community not from Jupiter. It’s the duty of the police.

  3. A government where every member of their party is a spokesman. Total confusion from under 5. We told you that it was important for a president to have experience of serving in public office

  4. Don’t arrest them give them jobs arresting job seekers is not right, the reason they voted for you is not to arrest them but that you give them jobs you cannot ran away from your responsibility just do your work and things will be fine.
    First ask them why they are on the streets doing business is it not making a living just as you are making yours , even those police officers they are making a living , you must be considerate and reasonable enough to know what prompts these young people, they too have families to feed.

  8. 10 years of caders taking over public spaces to extort money from people will take time to fix……..its won’t be an overnight thing, hundreds of people and families depended on that extortion as a way of life…….

    Councils will have to hire and train their police and auditors while marketeers and other users will need to learn about paying the right people….

  9. Yes HH promised them Jobs and if you start arresting them watch out for riots and protests…too much over-promising and soon HH will pay the price….Zambian youths you’ve been duped…Spaka and Tarino Orange are still keyboard warriors here on Lusaka Times

  10. Ba Spaka, stop making excuses on behalf of the government or local authorities. Ati “ten years of caders (sic)taking over public spaces to extort money from people will take time to fix..” Who told you that? Do you think if HH and his party campaigned on those lines the people of Zambia would have voted for them? Obviously not. What we should be saying now is that HH has already given orders that cadres should not be entertained at markets and public places and that it is now the duty of the Zambia Police and local authorities to carry out these orders. If these cadres are still found at these places, the blame should go to the police and not HH or UPND.

    You are just a dull PF vuvuzellela…..

    HEHH knows better than just to cut people off overnight from their livelihoods, which unfortunately is extortion. ……

    Like how your dull PF stopped street trading ???

    Caders controlling markets are being stopped , but as I say this is a way of life from 10…

    Caders controlling markets are being stopped , but as I say this is a way of life from 10 years of PF training for them. There is the clever sustainable way to get rid of them and there is the brut force way which will not work, and HEHH will use the clever sustainable way to deal with them….

  16. Kaizar Zulu….we still waiting on that promise you made that you will run in your baby suit if HH wins.Make it happen!!

  17. Ok forget about the cadre shenanigans and stuff let us see the good service of bus stops, markets and other areas ,ours eyes really and truly should be on the LCC with the revenue they are now collecting let us well see how they are going to improve these areas.

    That is the most sensible post…….as we are saying , look at the riots going on now in kitwe after removing vendors ……

    Now you suddenly remove caders over night will push them and their dependent families into criminality in communities…….

    We we say let the councils train their police and auditors to eventually take over

  21. This shows the level of thuggery and lawlessness into which Zambia has been thrown by the 10yr rotten PF leadership.

  22. @ Kaizar zulu It takes a GAY to recognize a GAY. No need to keep hiding. It is time for you to admit you are the one that’s GAY. Mr Champagne Cigar Caviar and you can fill in the blank xxxxxx

  23. Why do you chaps bother with a U.K dwelling troll that’s seriously sick in the head kansi?

  24. The guy masquerading as Kaizer Zulu (in the UK) is breaking the international laws and implying that he works for the CIA and other law enforcements agencies whilst spewing hate speech and innuendos. This is now a warning. You cannot hide behind a keyboard whether in internet cafés or unregistered gadgets. I am sure he has been careless enough to send some of his vile messages from his genuinely owned gadget leaving a trail whether behind a VPN or spoofed IP Addresses. The net will close in soon. Each gadget he has used will have a unique MAC address and we will demand footage of all the places where this person has entered to go and spew his vile messages. This can’t go on like this! Lusaka Times, we would like you to help with the investigations through your archives. Thank you.
