And we ask the Commission to reconsider their decision. First, following the earlier resignations of the two candidates in both Kabushi and Kwacha constituencies, which decisions were formally communicated to and acknowledged by the ECZ, it would be...

WHY ARRES T, CHARGE KBF NOW

By Fred M’membe President of the Socialist Party The arrest and charging of Mr Kelvin Bwalya Fube raises very serious questions about the independence, integrity and impartiality of our law enforcement agencies.

These are not crimes Mr Fube is alleged or suspected to have committed after launching his party. Why arrest and charge him now? This type of conduct has totally undermined, discredited this UPND government’s fight against corruption. It...
