The closed door meeting with Mr. Woolley centred on Zambia\u2019s democracy, the rule of law and the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lusambo informed Mr. Woolley that the UPND government\u2019s fight against corruption is not genuine as it is aimed at silencing President Hichilema\u2019s perceived political opponents.<\/p>\n<p>He accused Mr. Hichilema of targeting to silence by using the fight against corruption as a weapon. Mr. Lusambo also stated that the UPND government is determined to undermine democracy by not respecting the principle of separation of power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we have now is that the Executive wants to control the other arms of government.
