Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>\u2026 says when senior Government officials in a very important Ministry conspire to prevent a political party from fielding a candidate in an election is a very serious matter. Lusaka \u2026 Monday, January, 24, 2022 [Smart Eagles]<\/p>\n

Patriots for Economic Progress president Sean Tembo says President Hakainde Hichilema must tender unconditional apology to Zambians over the leaked audio involving his senior Government officials.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press briefing addressed by various political party leaders in Lusaka, Mr. Tembo said when senior Government officials in a very important ministry of home affairs involving the permanent secretary Joseph Akafumba and State House political advisor Levy Ngoma conspire to prevent a political party from fielding a candidate in an election is very serious matter.<\/p>\n

Mr. Tembo said President Hichilema is personally implicated in a leaked audio where Mr. Akufumba and Mr. Ngoma were heard plotting to prevent the Democratic Party from fielding a candidate in the Kabwata parliamentary by election.<\/p>\n

\u201d When a Permanent Secretary in a very important ministry and a Presidential Aide conspire to prevent a polititical party from fielding a candidate in an election is not a Zambia we know. We challenge President Hichilema to come out and clear himself in this matter because he is personally implicated,\u201d Mr. Tembo said.<\/p>\n

He said instead of Government clarifying the issue it has spent all its energies denying the leaked audio. \u201d What is missing is clear denial from the people involved. Levy Levy Ngoma, Joseph akafumba, Vice President Mutale Nalumango President Hichilema are all involved. Non of the four people have denied the authenticity of the audio. We take it that the audio is authentic,\u201d He said.<\/p>\n

\u201d We demand that the President tender unconditional apologize to the Zambian people,\u201d Mr. Tembo said.<\/p>\n
