HOME Affairs minister Edger Lungu says the Patriotic Front (PF) will have to pay for the property that was damaged at Northmead primary school after cadres clashed.
Mr Lungu said in an interview yesterday that he had discussed with the Minister of Education John Phiri to pursue the party to pay for the damage of property at the school.
Recently cadres from the ruling party clashed at Northmead Primary school following perceived internal party differences.
“The matter has already been discussed, we agreed that the ministry of Education should pursue the party to pay for damages of the property at the school. The ministry of Education is currently handling the matter,” he said.
Mr Lungu said Government would not protect anyone engaged in illegal activities whether from the opposition or ruling party.
“The law would be applied evenly to everyone, no one is a sacred cow when it comes to the application of the law,” he said.
And People’s Party President Mike Mulongoti appealed to political party leaders to control their cadres and discourage them from engaging in violent activities.
Mr Mulongoti said if the trend was not stopped, it might turn into something very serious which the country might fail to contain.
“The growing trend of violence must be stopped because it might affect all of us. Violence knows no boundary, it might affect anyone if unchecked,” he said.
Using tax payers money! That just doesn’t make sense. Re build the destroyed by destroying!
Ya Ba Lungu so u thought pupils at the school would pay for the damage no need to even tell us. But any way PF has no money of its own just say tax payers money will be used. Please tell Sata to stop this nonsense .
Good !
And that with immediate effect, ALL POLITICAL PARTIES MUST be BANNED from using schools and learning institutions for their hooliganism. They must use markets and playgrounds!
Can the PF do the same for every other cadre instigated damage caused? Including the looting of April 2013 in Katete?
These are Jerabos
The cadres are now behaving like their leaders . Very destructive louts!
Let the individuals be charged the cost if they are to be discouraged frim violence. If the party pays the thugs will continue doing their dirty thing. Why should thugs be paid for their actions when students are collectively charged for damage done a few stydents. To Hon Lungu, I say good for being so forthright.
The cadres in court said they will die for PF, so it makes sense that the party should foot the bill.
It takes two wise easterners (Edgar Lungu and John Phiri) putting their heads together to mop the mess caused by GBM and Wynter
If those Easterners were so wise they would not be in the paya farmer in the first place.
Yai Aphiri masiku siyakoma yonse. Not all days are Sundays. Your greed costed you your seat in Mkaika. You could not learn from your colleague Mangani just across pa chipata apa. I hope the President does not give you a job immediately so that you can suffer.
The cadres in court said they will die for PF, so it makes sense that the party should foot the bill.
Ati what Mr Lungu? You might be unwittingly jeopardizing your place within the PF with its culture of never accepting responsibility and crushing disenters from within like Gieven Lubinda.But hey,it suits me fine if PF implodes,hahaha.
MAKING SENSE
I don’t think Mulongoti is the right man to talk abt the misbehaving of cadres.It would be better if this man keeps quiet when such matters arise.Has he forgotten wat he used to do with the MMD cadres?MULONGOTI keep queit!!
Ka Mulongoti is just trying to let you know that he is around town! Otherwise he might fade into oblivion, if he has not faded already!
yaba! xfactor nao…..
ati: ‘if he has not faded already!’
naseka sana.
good one there.
Edger Shameless Lungu, PF will pay for the damages with money looted from government….
What a joke
what about the cadre killed in Livingstone
its two cadres, mwaliteta`s cook upto now there is no arrest,, no new finding !!! and the case of the pf cadre how killed grandfather chanda from monze has gone quite..
I have no love for cadres…hopeless clouts!
bush manners ba pf..atase..
It’s u who Voted 4……
The cadres themselves should pay for the damages not the PF.
PF just makes me sick, especially the cadres its too much. this is just a sign that the PF cadres are encouraged by the GVT to do what they do, they are all just villagers hence no manners at all, not even bad ones. i have a feeling these guys are paid to be violent!
Tax payer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good thinking Kaminamisa Lungu, but don’t you think that will be abetting violence? The individual cadres shud have been held responsible and made to pay since it’s clear that the clowns in the judiciary are afraid of tribunals if they jail cadres. They will not face justice and that is the only way to make them pay.
Let them BUY!!!
chimbwi no plan
Mr President u even replace Kennedy after two days of burial . u plan befor he die
