How do u pardon activists that have not been convicted? The best was to ask the DPP to enter a nolle prosecu.

ONLY CONVICTED LOZIS VE BEEN PARDONED NOT THOSE UNDER TRIAL. PARDON MORE CONVICTS TO CREAT SPACE FOR CORRUPT EX GOVT LEADERS
Aba eba Kateka! Act decisively, beloved President.
Ok, in thd 90 days theory he is starting with giving names, and what will be next?
Pardon those men who were just trying to bring out their cry for their rights. Create space for convicts of the past govt to come. People of Western Prov. deserve pardon, they voted better and won seats….the boat is sailing. Zambia is a united nation as what was said and proclaimed by KK, One Zambia One Nation.
