HIGH PROFILE INDIVIDUALS ENCROACH INTO LUSAKA NATIONAL PARK
An operation by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife to demolish illegal houses built in the Lusaka national parks has failed after establishing that the structures belong to high profile individuals.
A visit by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife officials in the company of journalists could not yield any positive results as the officials were threatened with lawsuits.
After the failed mission, none of the officials was willing to speak to the media.
Over 100 illegal structures are said to have been built in the Lusaka National Park.
Job well done Mr. Mwamba for letting the country know about this high profile corruption under the so called new dawn administration. I can foresee some current ministers, mayors, PSs, etc being jailed for corruption after UPND is kicked out of power. It is like crooks have replaced crooks. Very disappointing.
Indeed very depressing that lawlessness seems to be our middle name. How does the government allow the called “high profile” individuals break the law so blatantly? The land has not been digazetted so leahally these high profile goons have broken the law.
Are they envying their friends in PF who grabbed Forest 27? What a nation!!
Another forest 27 fiasco in the making.
