UPND has not ruled out impeaching Lungu – Syakalima

The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) has not ruled out moving an impeachment motion against President Edgar Lungu when Parliament reconvenes.

In an interview with QTV News, UPND presidential advisor Douglas Syakalima says his party has observed that President Lungu has allegedly continued to transgress in relation to the Republican Constitution.

Mr. Syakalima, who is also Chirundu Member of Parliament, states that the UPND cannot allow President Lungu to continue transgressing in the manner he is doing.

He states that his party had plans to move another motion of impeachment against the President during the just ended sitting of Parliament but could not do so in view of the time it took Parliament to approve the 2019 national budget before adjourning indefinitely.

Mr Syakalima says the UPND feels duty bound to institute all necessary measures to help the Country.
