ZAMBIA TO LODGE FORMAL COMPLAINT TO UNHRC

Government says it will lodge a formal complaint to the United Nations Human Rights Council -UNHRC- on the manner a press release containing allegations of human rights abuses in Zambia was published.

Chief Government Spokesperson CORNELIUS MWEETWA says it was expected that Zambia would respond to the Special Rapporteurs allegations within 60 days, before making the allegations public.

Mr. MWEETWA says this is a standard procedure that has been followed over the years.

He says Government is in possession of correspondence addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation from the Special Rapporteurs.

Mr. MWEETWA told ZNBC News that the Zambian Government finds it disturbing that the Special Rapporteurs issued a media statement without following the laid down procedure of an opportunity to clear the statement before being released.

  1. Give UNHCR the video of Danny Pule in Church political meeting as Church Service and listen to the contents.
    Give them the full write up of Nakachinda about ZNS maize and full length of his seditious statements trailing behind him.
    Give them Munir Zulu and Nawakwi Press conference seditious videos.
    Give them Amb. E. Mwamba write ups-for Mwamba any article is just fill with of malicious utterances in agitating sense.
    Give them the JJ Banda history and why PF didn’t react untill UPND did. Flash then with full information of who he was.
    Give them the video of the boy at freedom statue who didn’t just talk from his heart but reproduced what he was fed on.
    The problem is it is like the arrested were angels smeared with sin by UPND and thrown in cells by ZP.
    To me the issue of electricity can’t be blamed on UPND but past regimes especially MMD and PF who should have provided National level alternative WHICH UPND is putting in place now! The situation can’t be correct by UPND urgently because issues of national energy sources are not short term like what the Opposition is putting it. ECL was in power WHY didn’t he think of alternative sources other than hydro. UPND is now struggling put in place alternative sources of power under pressure from drought? The President has even to fly to China over the same. Let’s wait and see, short term the critical areas will be on thermal energy while Solar fields are being constructed+ Maamba Energy project phase 2+ SADC energy pool link.
    Come end 2025 and there about, What UNIP, MMD and PF should have done in their combined 60 years of their rule will be done by UPND in just remaining 2 years of their first term in office…Give UPND around of applaud country men and women
