Home Affairs Minister Warns HH and his party Spokesperson against causing Public Alarm and Political Hysteria

Share

Minister of Home Affairs, Stephen Kampyongo has strongly warned Opposition UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema and his Spokesperson, Cornelius Mweetwa to stop causing public alarm, political hysteria and to stop promoting anarchy in the country.

Last night, UPND mobilised youths who marched to Hichilema’s residence to allegedly prevent him from being arrested by the Zambia Police.

Speaking on Hot FM radio station’s Hot Breakfast Show programme, Hon. Kampyongo dismissed allegations issued by Mweetwa alleging that the ruling Patriotic Front had a scheme to arrest and kill Hichilema or prevent him from participating in the upcoming general elections.

Kampyongo insisted that the anarchy and lawlessness being promoted by the UPND will not be tolerated as Government had an noble obligation to maintain peace, order and security of the country.

He said the false allegations being peddled by Cornelius Mweetwa were causing public alarm and public hysteria and government will not allow lawlessness to reign.

Kampyongo stated that if Hichilema or anyone else has participated in the abduction and kidnapping of the Hatembo family, the Police will pursue all suspects regardless of their status in society.

He said no one was above the law and the perception which UPND was creating that they can prevent such an arrest was ridiculous as the Police had a constitutional obligation to maintain law and order and can investigate and pursue any suspected criminal.

And Kampyongo appealed to Hichilema to provide leadership in his party in the on-going intra-party elections.

He said the wide threats and violence that has characterised the UPND intra-party elections was regretable and Hichilema or his leadership has failed to condemn the violence.

He said the reports from places such as Chingola, Kabwata, Choma, Monze and Mkushi showed high level of intolerance in the UPND that had degenerated to violence.

  1. Very disgusting but not surprising behaviour from Hh and his fellow f00lish tribal goats. They know that they are losing again and this is the only way they can find a scapegoat for their losses. How will hh continue if he loses again,? So he needs a reason to hoodwink his very gullible dull supporters. The boy hh is in a coma and cannot even speak and yet these supporters are being duped to go protest for a comatosed man. Ba police deal with them.

  2. If KK who has been ever been the most powerful politician in Zambia was picked on Christmas Day, who’s Hichilema to think that a horde of noisy cadres will grant him security from answering for his crimes? I just can’t understand why people waste time on shallow minded individual as Hichilema. If Edgar wanted to eliminate Hichilema he could’ve done that long ago. Hichilema will defeated through the ballot but he’ll also answer for his crimes. If indeed he’s involved in the abduction of the Hatembos then he’s in for it. Finally the is catching up with him. You can’t hide from the Law like you can hide stolen wealth in Cayman Islands. Just be brave and face the Law

    In your custody to court and if HH

    Them to court after three weeks?

  7. Jezebel Nawakwi the PF Surrogate said she was not going rest until HH is arrested b4 August 12 Elections and his name removed from the Ballot Paper. KZ was on record saying HH is sick and in Covid-19 induced Comma. What did Kampyongo do about these alarming comments and threats?

  9. If hh is fine and of sound mind, then why doesn’t he quell these rumours and address the nation on live TV for an hour minimum. Hh loves publicity so why is it hard for him to come out on live TV? There is no shame in one being unwell. We are all humans and are susceptible to illness.

    Meanwhile congratulations to beautiful iris. Does Upnd have any beautiful woman

    Fix the economy and then you can convince the Zambian people that you are not failures.

    Touch HH and you will have sad ending.

    PF must go!

  11. He has sleepless nights so he sits up in the lounge and calls for the youths to spend the night with. He has dementia; he hallucinates; he has anger outbursts, typical of HH. Sad that it will get worse as we go to vote

  14. Sorry the UPND are playing to gallery. They have become more of comedians than serious minded political opponents. You ask for human shield in the darkness of the night and paint a veneer of unrest

  15. This former Katondo St Currency Dealer is good at issuing warnings then when someone is shot they go and pick up an innocent former recruit who is nursing a hang over and doesn’t know what day it is . Stephen Kampyongo continue issuing threats and warnings when the time comes for you to answer for your war crimes Lazy Lungu will refute issuing you with orders…just go and read about the Nuremberg war trials see how SS Generals were soiling their pants in the dock.

  16. Be careful boyi Kampyongo. The incoming minister of home affairs Mweetwa is a ZP officer. ZP are already reporting to him, they refused to arrest HH.
    Don’t force matters boyi… Just focus on packing your katundu, 3 months rest.

  17. WHY DIDNT THE PRESIDENT DECLARE HE HAD HIS VACCINE WELL BEFORE THE PEOPLE HE GOVERNS
    WHY DOESNT THE PRESIDENT HAVE A NATIONAL DEBATE ??
    THE QUESTION IS ….. IS THIS THE PEOPLES PRESIDENT ???

  18. Am amazed at the fear of unknown by the PF regime. Provide safety of all Zambians. Threats of arrests will not work and Zambians are tired of arresting innocent people.
