Acquitted Alliance for a Better Zambia president Father Frank Bwalya has described the Patriotic Front government as useless.
Fr Bwalya, who on Wednesday scored a free speech victory in court by being acquitted over charges of labeling President Michael Sata as Chumbu Munshololwa (a potato that breaks when someone tries to straighten it) in reference to a stubborn person, said the PF government should not have used the K500, 000 in preventing the paramount Chief Chitimukulu from taking his position at the palace.
He said government could have used that money on other more pressing ventures.
Government spent over K500, 000 on 219 police officers from October last year to January 2014 in guarding the Chitimukulu palace to prevent the elected heir Henry Kanyanta Sosala from taking up his position.
“To go and guard the palace of Paramount Chief Chitimukulu which is a private property when there is no issue on why he should become or if they should recognize him,” said Fr Bwalya.
“If this government was not useless, what they should have done would be to refuse to recognize Paramount Chief Henry Kanyanta Sosala but not spend even a ngwee in trying to stop him from the palace. That palace is private property. Why should they stop him from going into his own private property? Useless government! Useless!”
The PF government has failed to recognize Sosala despite being elected by the Bemba Royal Establishment as the rightful heir.
