SOCIALIST PARTY WRITES POLICE, ACCUSE UPND OF USING GRZ VEHICLES IN BY-ELECTIONS
16th January 2024
Mr Graphal Musamba,
The Inspector General of Police,
Zambia Police,
Lusaka.
Dear Mr Musamba,
Re. Use of Government Motor Vehicles in the Mpika and Shiwang’andu Ward By-election Campaigns
We have complained to the Electoral Commission of Zambia and the police about the UPND’s use of government motor vehicles in the by-election campaigns. Number plates are removed to conceal the identity of the motor vehicles.
By law, no motor vehicles are allowed to move without registration plates – even police and military motor vehicles have registration plates.
If this practice is allowed to continue, we will have no option but to effect citizen arrest and impound such motor vehicles.
We plead with your office to put a quick stop to this illegal practice.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Cosmas Musumali
General Secretary and First Vice-President of the Socialist Party
CC. Chairperson, Electoral Commission of Zambia
CC. Muchinga Province Commissioner of Police
CC. Officer-in-Charge Zambia Police, Mpika
CC. Officer-in-Charge Zambia Police, Shiwang’andu
