United, Prosperous and Peaceful Zambia (UPPZ) President Charles Chanda says the decision by the Government to completely ban street vending will lead to an increase in criminality in the country.
Mr. Chanda has told Journalists in Lusaka that this is because most of the people who were surviving on street vending will have nothing to do apart from engaging in illegal activities to sustain themselves.
He says this is considering that the government has done this without finding an alternative trading place for the vendors.
Mr Chanda says most of those affected will opt to engage in illegal activities in order to continue supporting their families.
