It’s stupidity to accuse HH of inciting Kitwe riots- Syakalima

UPND presidential advisor Douglas Syakalima has described as utter stupidity accusations that party leader Hakainde Hichilema incited Kitwe residents to riot over the alleged sale of ZAFFICO.

Mr. Syakalima has wondered why Mr. Hichilema is being accused of inciting the riot when people in some other parts of the Country had already been debating the issue of ZAFFICO being sold.

In an interview with QTV News, Mr. Syakalima says his party is aware that there was some disquiet on the issue of ZAFFICO being sold in Kapiri Mposhi and Kalulushi way before the riot in Kitwe erupted.

Mr. Syakalima who is also Chirundu Member of Parliament, says it cannot therefore be said that it was Mr. Hichilema that incited the said riot when he featured on one of the local radio stations in Ndola.

He says people suggesting otherwise are simply shallow minded as they have not realized that there was no connection with what Mr. Hichilema said on radio and what moved people to riot.

Mr. Syakalima states that his advice to those who allegedly want Mr. Hichilema to be arrested over the ZAFFICO riot, is that they be wary that no one stays in power forever.
