POLICE SUMMON STARDY MWALE
Thursday-19th October 2023
The Zambia Police have summoned Patriotic Front Member of the Central Committee and Copperbelt Provincial Chairman, Sturdy Mwale.
The Police have summoned Mwale in relations to his comments on the current expensive mealie-meal.
He was advising that the decision to bring ZNS on the market was not sustainable and was undermining the work of traditional millers.
Mwale is expected to appear at the Police Service Headquarters on Friday, 20th October 2023 at 09;00hrs.
Police state at work!
Millers are private companies. Anyone can tell them what to do, but they do not have to obey, unless it is law.
Hakainde really needs to chill out sometimes.
After 2026, Sir, just compile all your Blogs on HH into a Book, it will be a Bestseller and turn you into a Zambian Millionaire!!! Trust me I say this not out of malice but business advice. You are definitely sitting on Gold!!!
I am very disappointed by the New Dawn government the way the are handling things is a sign of failure and not knowing what to do. Zambia has been practicing a Liberal economy of free market where determination of commodity of prices are set by the prevailing conditions in the market.
To start summoning citizens on comments made on pricing of Mealie- Meal is suppressing the freedom of speech and curtailing democracy. The UPND has failed to address the escalating prices of Mealie- Meal which is staple food on which 90% of Zambians depend on. The solution of involving ZNS to supply cheap Mealie- Meal is not sustainable and ZNS has no capacity to meet the demands of the market.
On the other hand, the New Dawn government should also address the high fuel prices which have negative effect on production and operation of other services. The New Dawn government was voted into power to provide tangible economic solutions which the citizens thought the PF government had failed to address and manage. Henceforth, we looking forward to seeing the economy improving and allowing diversity of views from concerned citizens being spoken without intimidation from the state.
Sorry Mr Knowledge. Please note the following which you obviously seem not to know:
1. No president has ever tried to remove subsidies from millie meal before HH.
2. The money from the removal of these subsidies is giving our children free education
3. Millie meal is a political issue presently controlled by greedy Lebanese and Indian businessmen who are building and have built ultra-modern hotels, apartment blocks and mansions in Australia, USA Canada, the UK etc (go to Lusaka Heavy Industrial area and make a courtesy call on Nyimba Milling, Pembe Milling, Champion Milling and A1 Milling as a sample and ask for the Managing Director…use diplomacy or you won’t be considered for an audience)
4. They have power to decide who becomes president by bank-rolling the guy. They did this on HH in 2016 together with Chinese. Ask their workers and confirm this.
5. HH is kind of is it naive enough to allow them even to continue doing business here otherwise they should have been deported enmasse. This is what serious Western countries do to vermin like them.
So my brother if we want to see any meaningful economic gains let us help and appreciate efforts being made by the government of HH.
The MAZ leadership are just a group of muzunga fearing stooges who run kantemba milling companies in the compounds.
I rest my case

If this is true, then the police have lost it. In the first place the suggestion by Mr. Mwale doesn’t make sense. Ours is a free market economy and if ZNS want to sell their product at a certain price, they are free to do so. The miller’s must not form a cartel to indirectly regulate the price of mealie meal.
ZNS cannot flood the market with their product. If as Mr. Mwale is suggesting they decide to stop production, how does he expect them to pay their bills? They might as well abandon milling.
To summon Mr. Mwale over such a statement doesn’t make sense at all. How many people are the police going to summon? Clearly they have nothing to do.
