Magande questions logic behind police permit to PF cadres

The opposition National Movement for Progress (NMP) has questioned the logic by police to allow Patriotic Front (PF) youths to protest against Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba at State House.

NMP president Ng’andu Magande has wondered why the police would allow a large group of PF youths to demonstrate against an individual citizen who is also PF Secretary General when the opposition in the country has continued to be denied permission to hold peaceful demonstrations which are of national interest.

Mr. Magande who is also former Finance Minister notes that if such a trend as is being exhibited by the police is allowed to continue in the country, it will be become very difficult for people in the country to relate to one another and live in harmony and peace.

Mr. Magande has observed that it is wrong for the police who are supposed to maintain law and order, to start encouraging conflicts amongst citizens in the country as they did by allowing PF youths to demonstrate against Mr. Kabimba.

Mr. Magande was speaking to Qfm in an interview.
