Senior Chief Mukuni of the Leya people in Southern Province has said that he is deeply troubled by a sustained and vicious campaign by the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) and their surrogates to paint United Party for National Development (UPND) Hakainde Hichilema, a very healthy man, as a sick person, at a time when elections are drawing near.
In a statement released to the media Chief Mukuni said that as Senior Chief Mukuni, he will not take this misinformation lying down and warned those preparing evil acts to stop it, adding that Mr Hichilema is a bonafide citizen of Zambia and must not live around-the-clock life of threats and intimidation by the PF government.
By Chief Mukuni,
I am greatly alarmed at reports of government selectively issuing out NRCS under the cover of darkness in Muchinga Province particularly in Mansa Milenge, Mwense, Nchelenge, Chienge and other Districts of Luapula Province. What is disturbing is that these cards are being issued to minors at a time when the process of issuing the national identities was halted in Southern Province and other parts of the country on flimsy grounds.
This flagrant, lawlessness, impunity and the utter disregard for our constitution by those vested with institutional power to lead, is watering away our values and pride as a decent nation. It’s deeply troubling that the custodians of law and order, Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo, and Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja are silent and seemingly tolerating and encouraging lawlessness and the rule of the jungle, in this country. This is totally unacceptable.
