POLICE in Serenje have arrested a 67-year-old man for allegedly defaming President Michael Sata.
The man identified as Rogers Mushya is alleged to have used demeaning language against the Head of State on Monday evening.
Central Province police chief Edwin Bwanga and Mkushi District Commissioner Charles Mwelwa confirmed the development yesterday.
Mr Bwanga said the suspect was allegedly found on the road where he was hurling insults at the Head of State. The suspect was then apprehended and handed over to the police by members of the public.
And Mr Mwelwa expressed sadness that a man of advanced age could engage himself in such acts instead of being a role model to the youth.
Very undemocratic

ZP are very petty. What exactly did he say? Remember the one who was jailed for about 18 months for saying “UYU CHIKALA NAFILWA UKUTEKA ICHALO” refering to RB. At least RB released him after about 1 month of serving jail sentence.

He must have known Sata as a bigger boy. And Serenje is known for DEC materials.

This is what happens when man seeks answers from ousidehimself,when man keeps on blaming other for what life thros on him.Let this poor and frasted village-man know that his poverty was brought by himself not others.The very day he will believe this and stop blaming others,is the day his life will change.Respecting the whatever authority is Godly.The cause and effect.
