Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Former Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo says that Zambia\u2019s democracy is threatened under the UPND as he boasts that PF did exceptionally well. Speaking when he featured on Crown TV\u2019s \u201cRoyal Breakfast\u201d Show today, Lusambo said the country started well with regards to the matter in question during the reign of the MMD and the PF.<\/p>\n

The Kabushi \u2018Bulldozer\u2019 charged that things changed after last year\u2019s elections which saw the UPND emerge victorious. He called on President Hakainde Hichilema to do something adding that things have gone berserk.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not too late, I think Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND have got a chance to change this. Whatever is happening today is not benefiting anyone, it is not benefiting the UPND, it is not benefiting the people of Zambia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Lusambo reminded his fellow politicians that they have a limited time frame in office and wondered how those oppressing people would interact with the people they are leading when their tenure comes to an end.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocracy is under threat and President Hakainde Hichilema has to do something to make sure that this country is united politically. Because as we speak, things are not the way they are supposed to be,\u201d he said. Meanwhile, Lusambo said Zambia has very few politicians and added that they should not make the majority citizens suffer because of greed and ego.<\/p>\n
