Police will not condone careless statements that have potential to threaten peace in Zambia

ACTING Inspector General of Police Eugene Sibote says police will not condone careless statements that have potential to threaten the peace of the country.
Reacting to a social media story attributed to UPND deputy national youth Chairperson Gilbert Liswaniso under the headline “PF and police should remove PF thugs from bus stops and markets by Wednesday,” Sibote said the above statement has potential to incite violence and chaotic scenarios.
“It is our view that the statement by Mr Liswaniso is in bad taste. The police shall not condone such careless and reckless statements by any individual that have potential to threaten the peace that our country enjoys and has been known for.
It should be noted that this country has designated institutions that have the mandate to perform duties highlighted in the statement and Mr Gilbert Liswaniso does not represent any such institutions,” Sibote said at a press briefing yesterday.
Sibote said that police will not allow activities that are deliberately aimed at causing and breaching the peace and good order of society.
And Sibote directed police officers to be on high alert and firmly deal with those who may decide to participate in such disorderly activities.
