UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has charged that Inspector General Stella Libongani’s recent conduct is foolish and idiotic.
Mr Hichilema said Mrs Libongani has turned the Zambia Police Service into a PF militia wing.
He was commenting on a statement by Mrs Libongani that the UPND leader had been escorted out of Chipata by police officers after he defied a police order not to hold public meetings.
“Go and tell Libongani that her behavior is idiotic and does not inspire confidence in the Zambia Police. Why is she always quick to carry out foolish orders from her boss Sata? You tell her that her days are numbered in that office and she should use them,” Mr Hichilema said.
He said over 200 armed police officers descended on the UPND members who were gathered to attend a public meeting which he was to be addressed and prevented him from meeting a traditional leader.
“She is lying when she says they have escorted me out of Chipata, that’s not true. Am still here but I will not tell you my exact location and no one will push me out of Eastern Province because am a Zambian and I have every right to go wherever I want and Libongani will not stop me.”
Mr Hakainde said Mrs Libongani has been turned into an agent of a brutal dictator.
“What is sad is that when this brutal dictator goes, Libongani will go down with him. Let her redeem herself by acting professionally and not as a PF cadre.”
Mr Hichilema vowed to continue meeting people across the country whether President Sata likes it or not.
“They came here and butchered innocent and defenseless people as a way of intimidating them. These tactics will not work. People have always made up their minds that PF is going and no amount of brutality will change that fact.”
