The opposition UPND has challenged government to tell the nation whether Zambia is still a democratic and safe Country or not.
UPND presidential special advisor Douglas Siakalima has argued that if the Country is not safe for the opposition to hold public rallies it cannot also be safe for foreign visitors.
Mr. Siakalima says he is thus left to wonder whether government has also told the international community that Zambia is not a safe place to come in.
He wants to know whether government has made this communication to the international community especially with respect the Country’s capitol city Lusaka.
In an interview with QTV News Mr. Siakalima says his concern is that most tourists use Lusaka as their point of entering when they come to Zambia.
Mr. Siakalima thinks it will be fair for government to warn tourists before hand that Lusaka is not safe and therefore they should not come to Zambia through this entry point.
He believes that the concerns that have been raised by the Police that it is currently not safe for political parties to hold rallies in Lusaka should not be taken lightly.
