Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Speaker of the National Assembly, Nelly Mutti, has instructed Home Affairs and Internal Security Minister, Jack Mwiimbu, to deliver a ministerial statement on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, regarding a statement made by former President Edgar Lungu.<\/p>\n

Former President Lungu\u2019s remarks, made on Tuesday, February 27, 2024, suggested the possibility of Zambians rising against President Hakainde Hichilema, potentially forcing him out of office before 2026.<\/p>\n

The directive from Speaker Mutti comes in response to a Matter of Urgent Public Importance raised by Bweengwa Member of Parliament, Kasautu Michel, seeking clarification on the government\u2019s position regarding Mr. Lungu\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n

In addressing Michel\u2019s concerns, Speaker Mutti underscored the importance of addressing the matter transparently and ensuring that the public is appropriately informed. As such, Minister Mwiimbu has been tasked with providing clarity on the government\u2019s stance regarding Mr. Lungu\u2019s statement during the upcoming parliamentary session.<\/p>\n
