Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo says the demonstration at the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) offices by suspected Patriotic Front cadres on the 3rd of March was illegal.
In a ministerial statement delivered this afternoon, Mr. Kampyongo says the organizers of the demonstration did not fulfill the provisions of the law.
He however, states that Police swiftly moved in and thus no loss of life or damage to property was recorded.
Mr. Kampyongo says his ministry has since directed police to institute an early warning system for demonstrations or public gatherings.
He adds that he has also asked the police to work closely with the chief registrar of societies to ensure that all organizations observe the provisions of the law.
Mr. Kampyongo has further warned PF and UPND cadres to be law abiding, saying citizens expect a lot from the two political parties.
