Ferrying Of Cadres Banned
Acting President Inonge Wina has banned the influx of political cadres from outside areas into constituencies holding elections.
Ms Wina has directed police to deal sternly with cadres who travel to constituencies holding by elections.
The Acting President says cadres who are mostly from major political parties are in the habit of fanning violence and disrupting peace.
Ms Wina has directed police in Kasama to ensure that no-one is allowed to promote unruly behavior pending court determination on the anticipated Parliamentary by election in Kasama Central.
This is contained in a statement issued to ZNBC News by Ms Wina’s senior private secretary Ambassador Sheila Siwela.
Incidents of violence have been blamed on the ferrying of political cadres from Lusaka to the areas of contest.
And PF Publicity Committee Member Benjamin Siwila says UPND should not celebrate the victory in Solwezi West because the election was marred with violence.
He has accused UPND of being violent and ignored police advise not to hold rallies in many areas hence getting into conflict with police and PF.
Mr Siwila also said UPND Secretary General Steven Katuta statement that violence was perpetrated by PF is not true.
He said the violence that characterised the Solwezi West elections were mainly because of the UPND who did not want PF members to campaign in Solwezi West.
Mr Siwila says the desperation exhibited by UPND to win the Solwezi West seat elections has the potential to put the country on fire.

I thought it was the duty of the police to arrest unruly people even without directives from politicians. Anyway, we are in Zambia the Real Africa.

Government will this week attempt to sort out the chaos in the mining sector by meeting with all the chief executives of the mining firms.
The mining sector has taken a battering from the low copper prices and also the electricity supply challenge and is taking it out on the employees who are facing the possibility of massive job losses.

What is the president and his vice not to mention the minister of finance doing in their offices? Are they aware that the economy and Kwacha need resuscitation than wasting time on petty cadre issues. Solwezi West is gone move on get over it and focus on more important issues.

Mrs Wina is a big joker, because she knows at the back of her mind that this practice has been very rife in her party when in opposition and now. The only thing that has changed is that cadres have shifted camp to back UPND, and other opposition parties. Chiwamila Galu kuluma Mbuzi, but Mbuzi ikasebezesa masengo anti chambwela mbwanji so lelo.

the right to movement and association can not be taken away even by the president. So ignore this statement with the dullness it deserves. Ferrting of cardes is not the problem but ministers who leave their offices nf get allowances to confuse voters. Foolish
