HAKAINDE Hichilema is being an alarmist by alleging that Government wants to eliminate him a few months before the general elections, says Zambian DNA spokesperson, Spuki Mulemwa.
Mr Mulemwa said the allegations showed how jittery the UPND president was about the elections because he was not ready for the polls. He said in an interview that the allegations from the leader of the biggest opposition political party were baseless and urged Mr Hichilema to be above board and stop peddling lies.
“As Zambian DNA we are very disappointed with Mr Hakainde Hichilema’s statement that the government was plotting to kill him, those are baseless accusations.
He said it was sad that Mr Hichilema made such serious accusations a few days after President Edgar Lungu assured the international community of his commitment to ensure credible elections. He wondered why the UPND leader was jittery about the August 12, elections when he and his party had five years to prepare. Mr Mulemwa challenged Mr Hichilame to tell the Zambians what he would do to change their lives if voted into office instead of peddling lies.
