Police pick Chris Mall owner for keeping bar open

 

POLICE in Lusaka have picked owner of Chris Mall Chris Chiinda for breaching the Presidential order of keeping bars closed as the country battles the Coronavirus.

Dozens of other patrons who according to Lusaka Province minister Bowman Lusambo were found jam-packed in a bar were picked along with Chiinda.

Lusambo who led officers inspecting places around the city said he was especially disappointed that Chiinda who is a Munali Constituency aspiring candidate was among people disregarding a Presidential order.

“It is highly disappointing that the proprietor of Chris Mall comrade Chris Chiinda who was found on the scene is failing to respect presidential orders to stay home and close his bar. If we have to offer ourselves for leadership, we have to be ready to lead by example,” Lusambo wrote on his Facebook page.

“All those found have been picked up by police and the operation will continue and will even be intensified going into the Easter long weekend,” added Lusambo
