ALLEGED UPND CADRE PURPORTEDLY GRABBING LAND FROM UNZA IS ON HIS OWN, WITHOUT ANY BLESSINGS FROM THE PARTY WHATSOEVER
Lusaka – September 27, 2022
The UPND as a Party wishes to reiterate that it upholds and promotes the Rule of Law as well as Law and Order at all times, hence disassociates itself from a video making rounds on social media in which some alleged cadres are said to be grabbing land belonging to the University of Zambia (UNZA).
Party President Mr Hakainde Hichilema who is also Republican President has repeatedly guided that the Rule of Law as well as Law and Order will be applied in all areas of his administration including the administration of land matters and anyone who goes outside the established laws and customized order is on his own and has no blessings of the Party.
Zambia is a country of laws and order. We do not live in a jungle. For this reason, anyone who acts contrary to the laws and causes disorder should be delt with using the existing laws.
The Party remains committed to upholding the Rule of Law and promoting Law and Order. This should be made clear to all those who think they can breach laws and cause disorder in the name of the Party.
The UPND wishes to further call upon the Police to immediately put an end to former regime’s culture of illegal allocation of land in general and bring to book the said culprits in the UNZA land saga in particular. The party will not shield anyone found wanting.
