LEAVE BO SISHUWA ALONE, NOT EVERY CRITICISM REQUIRES POLICE ACTION, LUNGU TELLS HICHILEMA
Not need to harrass or arrest Dr Sishuwa Sishuwa, former president Edgar Lungu has told the Hakainde Hichilema administration.
Lungu says not every criticism requires a police action in a democracy.
Fellow Citizens,
Kindly join me in asking the current government to “leave bo Sishuwa alone”.
I have just read the police statement that Dr Sishuwa Sishuwa is threatened with arrest and worse for critiquing my successor’s leadership in an interview with The Mast newspaper.
When Dr Sishuwa criticised my leadership and accused me of persecuting Tongas during my presidency, I took the criticism in stride as part of a healthy political debate, fully believing that Zambia is a democracy.
As a former President and a citizen like you, I believe that “not every criticism requires police action”.
Some debates require political responses, not further abuse at the brutal hand of state police as the situation currently is.
My appeal is, leave bo Sishuwa and others with dissenting views like him alone, let democracy flourish.
Edgar Chagwa Lungu
Sixth President of Zambia.

LEAVE BO SISHUWA ALONE, NOT EVERY CRITICISM REQUIRES POLICE ACTION, LUNGU TELLS HICHILEMA
