MSONI WORRIED ABOUT HHs STATEMENT ON CHIEFS
ALL People’s Party President, Nasson Msoni, has cautioned Republican President, Hakainde Hichilema, not to brew confusion among traditional leaders.
Msoni says he has been taken aback by sentiments by Hichilema to the effect that all traditional leaders across the country will be treated the same and with equity.
He states that the President should be clear that there is an existing hierarchy in Traditional hierarchy where Paramount Chiefs receive greater treatment, while still maintaining respect for ordinary Chiefs.
Msoni submits that in as much as there has been inconsistences in policy on traditional leaders from subsequent governments, the common denominator has been that Paramount Chiefs have always received greater treatment.
He has urged Politicians not to temper with traditional hierarchy in their pursuit for sinister agendas, stating that one cannot equate the King in Western Province to a Chief.
Msoni says doing so would amount to planting problems where they do not exist.
During his recent meeting with some Chiefs across the country at State House, President Hichilema indicated that no traditional leader will be given preferential or special treatment above the other.
