Dr. Mumba said that whoever stole money or abused the tax payers money should return back to government.
He encouraged for the peace that President elect has proposed, announced and declared to be seen even after the inauguration.
“I was in Munali, Kanyama and Lusaka Central constituencies were I saw people in different party regalia regardless of the party they belong to,” he disclosed.
Dr. Mumba has commended the UPND commanders who encouraged people at Intercity bus terminal to freely wear any party regalia in the station but not to put any flag of a political party.
