An epidemic of ubututu !! Putinising Zambia and all the state institutions will not earn you political eternity.
Take heart you will not be mistreated! The people will ensure UPND opposition becomes the shadow government!!!!
Ba Police, the journalists are innocent. They were just doing their job. Why harass them?
Innocent how JMC? When you are found with theives who are breaking and entering a place known to belong to someone else, is that not being either aiding and abetting a crime or being an accompliance? Read the last paragrapgh of the statement above. Lets follow the law. And hold those breaking it accoubtable. The Police are only enforcing the law. In the court process we see if in enforcing the law; the Police erred. Laws are shaped by court precendence and acts. Not by wantonness of Politicans, to all Politicians to shape the law is what we saw in PF.
While I support the work of Journalists bring out factual information. It shallow to support that stand front of “gun” and daring the person with it to shoot.
The law is blind and does not segregate. We all need to follow it lest we be found wanting.
