United Party for National Development (UPND) National Women Chairlady Namakau Kabwiku has demanded for cabinet ministers to start paying back money to the treasury now.
Mrs.Kabwiku said that failure to which the women in the party will effect citizen arrest by engaging the baillifs to pounce on each one of them.
On Friday last week, the Constitution Court ordered cabinet ministers to pay back back to the national treasury,salaries and allowances they got whilst parliament was dissolved.
And Mrs.Kabwiku said that she expected (President) Lungu to call for a cabinet meeting to discuss the matter so that it will not take a month or a year for the ministers to pay back the money.
“As UPND women we are saying,ministers must pay back the money or else we will send baillifs to pounce on you. If they delay we will effect citizen arrest empowered in us on each one of them,” she stated.
Mrs Kabwiku further urged Mr.Lungu to fire ministers and the country can go for a bye -election.
“Mr.Lungu for heaven’s sake your ministers are found with a case by the court, don’t allow them to continue in office, fire and then we will have bye-election,”she said.
Meanwhile, the UPND National Women Chairlady is of the considered view that President Edgar Lungu should not have travelled to Angola for the SADC meeting on political situation in Zimbabwe.
She said that it is a misuse of tax payers money.
Mrs.Kabwiku added that it is surprising that Mr.Lungu wants to be part of the meeting when the Zimbabweans want Mugabe to step down.
She said that the situation is of internal matter and that there is amicable way of solving it by Zimbabweans themselves through their constitution.
” A political problem in Zimbabwe is well attended to by Zimbabweans themselves.As UPND women we feel Mr.Lungu should have not spent money on such a trip. That money can be used to pay students at the University of Zambia, pay farmers who were cheated with the low maize floor price and this is rainy season the farmers must buy farming inputs,”she said.
Mrs.Kabwiku further said that the money can be used also to pay the retirees including those retired because they support the opposition.
Well spoken Madam, but do not forget that you are speaking to fools who can hear you loudly yet refuse to listen. The only way they will listen is when they will be dancing pelete (borrowing from Mpombo) after being evicted from the illegal power that they are using to temporarily protect themselves.
