The Bemba Royal Establishment has clarified its earlier statement over President Michael Sata’s alleged appointment of Chief Chewe of Chinsali District in Muchinga Province.

Bashi Lubemba’s Spokesperson Washanga Impika Sha-Lubemba has clarified that the statement did not imply that the president had appointed Chief Chewe as Paramount chief Chitimukulu but that he was imposed as a chief by the president without the consent of the establishment.

However Washanga has maintained that a republican President has no powers to appoint Paramount Chief Chitimukulu stating that in this case they cannot reverse their appointment of Henry Kanyanta Sosala.

Earlier, Washanga Impika Sha-Lubemba was quoted saying that President Michael Sata had allegedly appointed Chief Chewe of Chinsali District in Muchinga Province as Paramount Chief Chitimukulu of the Bemba speaking people.
