The Home Affairs Minister has told Parliament that the deployment of police officers to Monze was as a result of the Bweengwa violence which he believes was planned by some political elements.

And Mr. Mwila says government has not declared a state of emergency in Monze or anywhere else in the country as claimed by certain sections of the communities.

He says the police services often conduct such deployment to prevent any further breaches of peace and public order.
