Pressure and more Pressure…No more Sacreds in our land. No warn and Caution Stunts. Arrest, charge and take them to Court.
Zambia’s laws are watered down by politicians and if those administering laws were left to carry out their assignment professionally without political interference, Zambia would have been at a better place! There are some politicians who believe that they need violent or intimidating party cadres to win popularity and elections! Cadres are self serving leeches! Give credit at least to the current president who categorically stated that any perpetrator of violence would be on their own irrespective of political party alignment and they would face the law! Do politicians acknowledge this presidential directive or just want to continue politicking?
