  1. He is right. The Zambian police is against the opposition always. The institution needs serious overhaul!

  2. POA is an archaic law that was used by the colonialists to harass and stifle the colonised. Sadly, KK, the MMD and now PF have found it useful too. It must be repealed as it serves no purpose in the promotion of democracy. HH, apart from complaining about its arbitrary application to you, I have never heard you make a public pronouncement that once voted into power, you will repeal the same. This means that you are also going to use it to stifle the opposition if voted into power. So instead of publishing lies about militia that or this, talk about real issues like what you will do about POA once in power.
