Babapyange bonse, says former Ministry of Foreign Affairs permanent secretary George Zulu.
Speaking with Daily Revelation on former Defence minister Davies Chama’s assertion that at the rate things are going, all those who served in PF will visit police cells “as an evil administration that espoused the Mapatizya formula was now holding the instruments of power”, Amb Zulu said people should not be afraid if they did not do anything wrong. He said everyone who did wrong must account for the wrongs committed as forgiveness comes from establishing the truth that happened.
Amb Zulu said those who stole, murdered and gassed people must be investigated and prosecuted.
“Babapyange bonse. We should not start running for forgiveness. First let’s find out ‘where these cases committed by those people. I read in your paper that there are others in PF who want to run themselves up as state witnesses. So these are coming on their own. So it means there were offences that were committed,” Amb Zulu said.
Chama accused the UPND administration of trying to divert people’s attention from what he said their false promises which they have failed to fulfill, including the high cost of fuel, an unstable Kwacha and the electricity prices which were due for increment.
“When you promise so much, when you lied so much and have failed and you are under pressure, by even their cadres internally that they are complaining that the endurance of their suffering now is even worse than before, now they want to divert attention by arresting innocent people,” he said.
But asked if he was suggesting that past wrong doing must not be prosecuted, Chama said he supported holding people accountable for their past actions, but what was happening now was a situation where suspects were merely picked up and bundled in police cells.
