PLANS TO DEREGISTER PF AIMED AT KILLING DEMOCRACY, SAYS SABOI
National Democratic Congress leader Saboi Imboela has charged that intentions by the Registrar of Societies to deregister the Patriot Front is meant to destabilize opposition political parties in the country.
In an interview, Imboela charged that the UPND administration is using Home Affairs and Internal Security permanent secretary Josephs Akafumba to frustrate, deregister and phase out opposition political parties from the Zambian political scene.
She said that maneuvres by the Registrar of Societies to deregister the PF is against the promotion of democracy in the nation, saying the UPND administration should desist from the temptation of using government institutions and agencies to get rid off opposition political parties.
“The National Democratic Congress party has been very consistent that the UPND administration’s decision to have Mr Akafumba to ascend to the position of permanent secretary at the Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security has been a ploy by the current regime to destabilize opposition political parties,” Imboela said. “So clearly, those maneuvres by the Registrar of Societies are a ploy to frustrate, deregister and get rid off opposition political parties from our political scene, which I think is not in the interest of our growing democracy.”

My Sister, Educate us further on how this government can be tempted to deregister a legally constituted political party. How is that even possible? Now a political party which is willingly and deliberately in breach of the rules and regulations is another matter. It will definitely face deregistration.
Don’t you see how ridiculous your argument is? You should be advocating for obedience for law and order while wisely requesting for Patience from the authority as the party at fault make good of their own mistake and make it right.
Surely even democracy has laws that must be obeyed. What is so precious of the PF? In fact the pf never allowed democracy during their tenure. This Saboi just supports blindly.
Why is it so difficult for PF to submitt the list of office bearers? Surely they should have a national management committee who run the party?
Is it a leaderless party?
I keep forgetting that this PF bed warmer is still alive.
I must be having a nightmare
