Lungu urged to be cautious on how he handles national affairs

President Edgar Lungu

The opposition National Restoration Party (NAREP) has urged President Edgar Lungu to take caution with how he is handling national affairs.

And the opposition political party has expressed disappointment with the drama being played by the Patriotic Front at the expense of national development.

NAREP Acting Spokesperson Frank Sichone tells QFM News in a statement that NAREP would not be surprised if the calling of a splinter group of lawyers is being sponsored by the selfishness of the politicians aligned to the oppressive tactics of the ruling party as observed from a press statement released by some small political parties.

Mr. Sichone says LAZ will remain a vital organisation to Zambia’s legal system, therefore Zambians should not allow for multiple replica organisations to carry out identical functions to LAZ as that is a quick recipe for anarchy.

Mr. Sichone observes that through the PF Secretary General Davies Mwila, the Patriotic Front has declared war against the Law Association of Zambia and took the uncouth liberty to declaring the LAZ President, a citizen of Zambia, Linda Kasonde “a hostile political force”.

He says the PF has no basis for engaging LAZ into politics.

The NAREP Acting Spokesperson has since urged both the Judiciary and LAZ to remain calm as this phase too shall come and dignity will be restored soon.
