Police have authority to arrest any cadre acting illegally- HH

Share

President Hakainde Hichilema has said as he promised, the Councils have started collecting revenue from bus stations and markets.
He is however disturbed by reports that there are still incidents of people who are posing as political cadres continuing to illegally collect fees. The President said this is unacceptable and that the police do not need to be prompted as they have full powers to arrest such individuals.

President Hichilema urged traders to report those individuals to law enforcement without fear of retaliation. He said this practice should be stopped completely, and all the money that was collected before the Councils resumed must be followed through and accounted for.

“Tell us where cadres are still collecting fees meant for the Council,” President Hichilema said.

  2. No person should be allowed to just sit at a bus stop doing nothing all day. Except if you have a bus ticket then you can sit at intercity or any similar station to wait for your scheduled bus.

  4. I have always said it ..nip it in the bud. It’s a time bomb. Figure of unemployment levels have just been shooting up. Sometimes I think of hiring a magician who can just wish these miscreants off our public places.

  7. Good move our president. We don’t want cadres in the markets and bus stations. Evening street vending is making our towns dirty. Councils should find decent places for vendors.

    your filters are outdated …….

    You are moderating for no apparent reason.

    Your servers are doing extra un necessary work because people then try to post the same things multiple times with minor omissions or additions….

  11. Zambian culture needs to be overhauled.

    There are so many things wrong with how the average Zambian thinks, and behaves, when it comes to morality and money. Not just cadres. It is across board.

    My advice is that we send all cadres without jobs to ZNS for a year or so. Let them be productive and learn how to be patriotic. Let us retrain them in trades subjects and agriculture.

    If a cadre refuses ZNS, then they can go to Zambia prison if they have committed a minor crime.

  12. When every Ngwee is accounted for, the council will then create jobs and be able to pay its workers……kikiki

  13. He said you sear me at 10 14hrs the dollar will come down so what’s going on we are still waiting for free education an cheaper food

  14. cadres: Kalimanshi et al., if you have no job in the city, go till the land and raise the crops. KK swept such crop of people and took them to Kambilombilo camps where they acquired agric skills and limited military training under ZNS.

  15. Nothing is going to happen. The police officers are the same as three weeks ago, and certainly don’t want to lose the extra money they are used to via the bribes. K50 and the cadre acting illegally is off the hook!

  16. I belive we are seeing the end of cader harassment of civilians in zambia…….

    The only concern is criminality in communities and other places of business will spike while these PF caders used of free money are left without any sources of income……..

    For sure ZNS camps would have come in handy to retrain these people

    Have some patience , alot of damage was done to the police force which has been infiltrated as a PF cader dumping ground.
    At the moment the police force is far from professional with a lot of mistrust and infighting…..
    But I belive the new service chiefs have a point to prove , and will deliver….

  18. Sanity returning to our markets and bus stations…just see what political will can do ..if HH wants to do things do it now not halfway through your term or end of your term

  19. Armchair political analysts promoting cadres from collecting free money. What’s wrong with these cadres Saulosi and Kaizer Zulu? What kind of a name is Saulosi anyway?
