UPND on the Copperbelt Cautions Senior Patriotic Front Officials

Share

The United Party for National Development (UPND) on the Copperbelt has cautioned senior Patriotic Front Officials against issuing alarming statements especially on matters that are before law enforcement agencies.

UPND Copperbelt Information Publicity Secretary, Lazarous Sichamba says the recent statements by PF Chairperson for Information and Publicity Raphael Nakachinda are not only worrying but dangerous to the country’s peace and stability.

Mr. Sichamba says senior Patriotic Front officials have been issuing alarming statements which if left unchecked have potential to dent the country’s image.

He urged the Patriotic Front to allow law enforcement agencies such as the Police to handle any matters that relate to suspects without them crying foul whenever one of their members is being interrogated over some cases.

Mr. Sichamba said President Hakainde Hichilema has indicated on several occasions that law enforcement agencies will operate independently without interference.

He said the Police have been professional in handling cases and it will be important if they are allowed to continue working without any accusations.

Recently, Mr. Nakachinda has been issuing statements relating to the arrest of former President Edgar Lungu’s Barber man.

  1. Former president Lungu said “Let them come after me , not small people”. Lungu’s barber man in, next Chanda security man of Lungu in, next Lungu himself will be in. How about that? Crime is irrespective of person and the law is blind too to that.

  2. Funny…. Upnd, PF and MMD used to issue alarming statements as Opposition… one I remember is the Shindamisale issue. It’s just natural and if left alone the police will decide whether someone has committed an offense or not.

  3. PF was and is still a disaster, PF is a danger to its self. The PF leaders issuing statements do not even have the support of their grass roots. Imagine even with Amos Chanda with all his frailties advising these hard core PF leaders that rebranding does not mean just issuing statements with insults disguised as idioms, rebranding requires serious business with a sharp and vibrant SG engaged,

  4. It is either that Zambian political parties cadres are INDISCIPLINED or the media in Zambia do not know who to get information from. A UPND Copperbelt Information and Publicity secretary is usuroing the authority of the Minister for Information. This police matter is not a party problem nor a copperbelt mater. So shut up!
