Mr Sakeni told QFM news that the foiled demonstration by the UPND is as a result of selfish political ambitions of the opposition political party.
Mr. Sakeni says it was wrong for the UPND to organize youths to protest when the Police had denied them permission to go ahead with the protest.
The minister states that Police have the mandate to maintain law and order especially when it comes to protests that have the potential to turn into riots.
Mr Sakeni has questioned the motive behind the UPND’s demonstration against Director of Public Prosecutions Mutembo Nchito when the issue of the K14 billion Development bank of Zambia debt forms part of matters before the courts.
He has however regretted the beating of the protestors by the police

UPND is a frustrated political party in this country. HH has no political direction. He shud not waste time on things that are clear and straightforward. Mutembo Nchito’s issue is in court. Let the law take its course period rather than subjecting his cadres to police brutality. These police officers are blood-thirsty gangsters.

THE DEMOSTRATION BY UPND WAS A TACTIC IN ANTICIPATION OF THIS MERCENARY LAWYER.. IT WAS MEANT TO GIVE HIM SOME THING TO SHOUT ABOUT AS HE VISITS ZAMBIA.
I PERSONALLY WROTE THIS MERCENARY LAWYER WITH HONESTY AND HE DIDNT REPLY TO DATE.
THIS IS ‘THE HH COFFIN’ AND UPND.

Just bring more Lilayi recruits and everything will be cool ba Sakeni. why shud pipo demonstrate over a case that is before the Courts of Law? Why did HH, Shakalima, Kakoma and others not join the demos? Just shut them up with a baton and they wont come back.

“the only thing neccessary for the truimph of evil is for good men to do nothing”
patriots such as myself will never allow micheal satanyoko and his PF cardes(the police) to turn this country into a dictatorship, this is a democracy and we have rights, infact i am even painting a picture of micheal satanyoko like the one they painted for zuma in S.A.
viva democracy, viva freedom of expression, viva freedom to demonstrate. its just a matter of time before they take micheal satanyoko to the Hague.

UPND and Hakainde know very well that its not posible any time soon for them to win elections at presidential level.so let them just keep cool its not PF that made them loose not even MMD or any other party they were made losers by the people of Zambia.Hakainde should just contest Parliamentary seat in order to cool himself.

that tonga bull who is insulting the Head of State should be traced and arrested. Mr Sata is not just the President of the ruling Patriotic Front he is also President of the Soveirgn Republic of Zambia. Thats why he gave a speech two days ago in the uk and not h.h. Am Tonga and Proud of it but am also a Zambian who should respect the Constitution of the land. Tonga bull should be arrested for insulting the President.

UPND is up and Down what more do you expect from them.
HH is House Hold, leader of southern Province with a population of Munali Constituency in Lusaka.
HH should not expose cow leader into trouble. The way you treat your cows, Zp will treat you more than you weap those cattle

some pipo do not understand politics very well,but they have a prevalege to send comments.the whole c/belt voted for PF and other provinces which made them won the election,but they seem to big headed.they do not want to be controd even when they know that they have made a mistake.thats very very dengerous.INDEED ITS WRONG APPOINT A SUSPECT OR CONVICT TO ANY POSITION,THE BEST IS TO WAIT FOR COURTS AND IF FOUND NOT GUILT APPOINT HIM.IT WILL BE AN EMBERASMENT FOR THE HEADE OF STATE TO SAY OKAY NOW THAT CHITO IS GILT LET HIM STEP DOWN.some the things that UPND raises are there to our advantage but we refute them as politics.we want a reader who understand all the ministries and the nation at large.EDUCATION IS ALSO IMPORTANT THATS WHAT SATA LACKS.WE WILL TRY HH NOW.
