Home Affairs Minister Warns UPND and its Cadres

Share

Ministry of Home Affairs has expressed displeasure with the manner in which the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) is responding to the summoning of their party leader by Police in Lusaka.

Speaking at a press briefing in Lusaka, Home Affairs Minister Hon Stephen Kampyongo said that there is nothing extraordinary about the Zambia police summoning Hakainde Hichilema who is UPND party president.

Hon Kampyongo said that it is not the first time in Zambia that a leader of the opposition is being summoned by police to help with investigations in their quest to maintain law and order.

He said that the behavior of some UPND known officials of plotting to mobilize thugs to cause chaos when their leader appears before police on Wednesday will not be entertained.

“No one is above the law and as such when police feel you are relevant to their investigations there should not be a fuss just because you are an opposition leader” Hon Kampyongo said.

Hon Kampyongo said the government fully supports the Police in their efforts to bring about peace and stability in the country and will not allow anyone to intimidate the police with the intent to sway them from performing their mandate.

“Mr. Hakainde Hichilema is not the first politician and certainly not the last to be summoned by police to help with investigations and so the plans by UPND to mobilize themselves to cause chaos are very disheartening and highly unnecessary,” Hon Kampyongo said.

Hon Kampyongo further warned the opposition UPND against causing unnecessary chaos in the country as police are equal to the task and they stand ready to enforce the law by any means necessary in order to maintain law and order.

  1. What do you expect from those uncivilized gorillas in upnd. They do not reason just like their f00lish leader hh. Just look at that other f00l Larry mweetwa who knows he is British, comes here on Visa and then decided to start campaigning. How dull are these hyenas. As I said before, if any of them try to cause trouble, be ZP give them some dirty slaps.

  2. My good sir we are not moved by your threats. If I wake up tomorrow and decide that I want to accompany Hakainde Hichilema to force headquarters as he goes for that interview I will do so because I know of no law that I would be breaking by either escorting someone or going to force headquarters.

  3. Abena Katondo Street when are celebrating again?
    Our memories are still fresh about this; DISGRACED State House Aide Kaizer Zulu his counterpart Amos Chanda, Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo and Minister in-charge of National Development Planning Lucky Mulusa on Tuesday night celebrated the arrest of UPND President Hakainde Hichilema in style at a pub on 8 Reedbuck road in Kabulonga.
    The four senior PF officials took turns boasting how they had made sure they had fixed the opposition leader and how they were controlling state institution.
    The officials who were in the company of another mercenary, Lewis Mosho and some former Post Journalist and what looked like prostitutes, drunk the night out and only left 8 reedbuck after midnight.

  4. COME ON GUYS, BETTER I AM DISMISSED THAN BE A USEFUL FOOL POLICE OFFICER, WHO AT THE END WILL REGRET MY INVOLVEMENT IN EVIL WORKS.
    I UNDERSTAND POLICE SALARY SCALE IS AS FOLLOWS;
    A person working as a Police Officer in Zambia typically earns around 3,660 ZMK per month. Salaries range from 1,690 ZMK (lowest) to 5,830 ZMK (highest).

    This is the average monthly salary including housing, transport, and other benefits. Police Officer salaries vary drastically based on experience, skills, gender, or location.

    SO SOMEONE WANTS TO HELP YOU AND THEN YOU TURN AGAINST HIM? LOOK AT THE AMOUNTS OF MONEY PF SPENT ON BUYING ARMORY TO DISBURN HER OWN CITIZENS WHEN YOU POLICE OFFICERS ARE SUFFERING? STAND UP AND SAY NO TO EVIL PLANS OF PF AND KAMPYONGO- KANGANJA SCHEMES. ALL OF US ARE IN TROUBLE…

  8. Everytime summoning the same person thats why you find people object . On top of that not giving a specific reason for the summons in order to give the person time to prepare.

  9. Imwe bantu ninshi this order for the “unprecedented infranstracture development” doen’t include drainages? because when it pours in lus angels , the perrenial roads turn into streams.

  10. There is no credible opposition worthy the salt. What we have is just a popular criminal tribal grouping. We pray that God will raise a leader in the opposition who will be credible and has a national character not a provincial or tribal character. It is time that the constitution of Zambia compels these pseudo dictators of these tribal political parties to adhere to two terms only so that the young ones can have a chance to bring in fresh and Morden ideas not the outdated violence ideas of Hichilema. Hichilema has certainly outlived his political usefulness. I am not a PF cadre as some would like to believe, I am just Zambia who thinks that Hakainde has nothing to offer the people of Zambia.

  11. I have always said, these idyots have all along been planning to cause riots, that is why they went to spend money on useless riot wheel barrows. A man does not buy a ring unless he plans to engage someone. The idyots did not buy those stupid wheel barrows without planning to cause chaos. One thing they must keep in their dry and rotten skulls is that what goes around comes around, that is why the world is round. Stupid idyots.

  12. Paranoia by those in power is too much.

    That is why they will do anything to stay in power. They do not want to answer for crimes and abuse of office.

  13. Arresting HH will not fix the drainage systems , nor will it fix the economy, nor will it reduce the debt…….

    Sorry lungu for disappointing you with this news….

  14. Zambia. ichalo chaba christian, i thought you are a democratic country were examples are given. The political atmosphere is not pleasing at all.Why is there too much animosity and hatred. Everyone must know that leadership is not forever.
