President Michael Sata’s choice for the position of Paramount Chief Chitimukulu Chief Chewe has come out of the woods to defend his appointment by the Head of State by discrediting the Bemba Royal Establishment’s choice Henry Kanyanta Sosala.
Chief Chewe also claimed that it is not the Bashilubemba that appoints a chief but the Bana Mfumu.
The Chinsali based traditional leader who surprisingly paid for airtime on Radio Mano to prop up his credentials for the Paramount Chitimukulu position said Sosala had imposed himself as Paramount Chief Chitimukulu.
President Sata has refused to acknowledge the BRE’s choice of Chitimukulu leading to a vacuum with the Bashilumbemba refusing to budge on their insistence that Sosala takes over.
The Head of State stretched his powers by announcing that Chief Chewe was the right candidate to take over the chieftaincy.
President Sata has since deployed military personnel at the Chitimukulu’s Palace to prevent the rightful heir from taking over.
