UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema
The United Party for Nation Development (UPND) Leader Hakainde Hichilema has demanded that government compensates all street venders who were recently removed from the streets.
And the UPND President has refuted claims by Home Affairs Minister Steven Kampyongo that his party was behind the riots that were witnessed in Kanyama, Chibolya, Misisi and John Leigh.
Mr. Hichilema has told a media briefing in Lusaka that the people were rioting because the PF Government is frustrating them.
He says his party had nothing to do with the riots as claimed by both the PF and the Home Affairs Minister.
The UPND Leader has however emphasized the need for the people to remain calm saying lasting solutions to their challenges will be found.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hichilema has called on government to ensure that fee paying toilets are made free to the members of the public.
He says the people in town and markets, who cannot afford to pay to use a toilet, may resort to using other means in answering the call of nature saying that may cause cholera.
