I am waiting to be arrested, says FDD leader Edith Nawakwi.
Speaking with Daily Revelation, Nawakwi said since she has been warned and cautioned for alleged abduction and violence against the Hatembos, she now wants to have her day in court.
“I’m waiting for arrest, if they have facts, to take me to court. That’s the procedure when you are warned and cautioned. We are prepared, waiting for the next stage,” Nawakwi said.
She said the prison service should have enough beddings with them.
“Blankets you didn’t even prepare, you just take from your bed. I’m sure the Prison Service has got enough beddings because this government says everything is okay,” Nawakwi said.
Pivoting to the other issues, Nawakwi said Agriculture minister Mtolo Phiri is telling Zambians to diversify from maize to other foodstuffs like millet, but wondered how many milling plants his government has created for the same commodity.
She said Phiri’s audacity to agitate the Zambian people seems to stem from the relationship he enjoys with the President as he was not scared of any sanctions.
“Today a 25kg bag of millet meal is actually K499. Mtolo should tell us where he ever distributed millet seeds for him to talk with impunity that we must look for alternative ways of livelihood … If his stomach is full he should just keep quiet. It seems when their stomachs are full, even their brains become full and stop thinking,” said Nawakwi.
