OPPOSITION ADMONISHED FOR USING ZAMBIA’S DEMOCRACY TO COMMIT ILLEGALITIES
By Lukundo Nankamba
Centre for Policy Dialogue Executive Director Caroline Katotobwe has charged that Zambia’s democracy has in the last two years been used as an excuse to commit illegalities by the opposition.
Reacting to the arrest of socialist party leader Fred M’membe and high patriotic front officials on different charges this week, Ms Katotobwe says the opposition should not cry foul because they abrogated the law in their activities.
Ms Katotobwe tells Phoenix News that it is unacceptable to act in a lawless manner while expecting to go scout free and when called out by law enforcement agencies, the opposition has the tendency of complaining and claiming that the country’s democratic space is shrinking.
She has reminded the opposition that Zambia is currently enjoying the restoration of the rule of law after a long time, which must not be taken advantage of.
And Anti-Voter Apathy Project -AVAP- Executive Directive Richwell Mulwani has advised the opposition to help the UPND administration in governing the country by offering checks and balances that do not abrogate the law.

These puppets can’t even manage to point out any wrong committed by the opposition for arguments sake. I doubt they know what they’re talking about. Whack!
The current pressure should encourage the UPND government to perform even better. Alas, idiots are behaving like they’re just recovering from dengue.
Ms K you are spot on, you have told the idiots what they don’t want to hear and exactly what I have been saying.
If indeed there has been shrinking of space, how come some law abiding opposition leaders have NEVER smelt the entrance of any police station?
Opposition is not criminality, commit crime in the name of opposition party bla bla, face the law. STUPID IDIOTS.
