Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>..States that as PF , they are neither moved nor intimidated and will continue providing checks and balances\u2026 Tue. Sept 21, 2021[Smart Eagles]<\/p>\n

PF Member of the Central Committee, Mr Antonio Mwanza says the Patriotic Front is the only party of the 16 that contested the 2021 General elections that is being questioned about it\u2019s source of funding by the Drug Enforcement Commission.<\/p>\n

Mr Mwanza who appeared before the Drug enforcement commission in Lusaka this afternoon after receiving a summons, revealed that he was called in to be questioned about the source of funding for the PF in the just ended elections .<\/p>\n

He said this was clearly an attempt to intimidate the opposition PF into cowering away from providing checks and balances to the current government. He reiterated the PF\u2019s commitment to providing checks and balances to ensure that the UPND Government fulfils the promises they made to the Zambian people . He emphasised that no amount of intimidation would gag the PF Membership . Mr Mwanza said this after his interview with the DEC officials.<\/p>\n

He has since called on the commission to ensure they summon all political parties that contested the elections , the UPND included, on where they got their funding for elections if the exercise is to be viewed as not a mere persecution of the PF, because as far as he was concerned, no political party is required to disclose their source of funding at law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
