PRESIDENT Rupiah Banda must go this year before he finishes killing us, says Phillip Lubasi. Lubasi, who is the grandfather of the late juvenile Barotse detainee Kabayo Kabayo, said people in Western Province want change of government. He said the province is yearning for a president who will respect them.

“This year President Banda must go, he’s a killer. We’ve put him on suspension since January but very soon we’re expelling him from State House through the ballot and vote in a president who respects us.

There is nothing we’re benefiting from the MMD government. Banda was not born a president,” said Lubasi in an interview shortly after the burial of his grandson Kabayo on Sunday.

“He should send more police officers because we’re ready to go to prison.

The death of my grandchild is straight from his hands and the blood of those who’ve died is on his head. He has killed them,” he said.

Lubasi said President Banda had failed to show leadership over the Barotseland Agreement related Mongu riots.

He said people in the province will not accept the wasteful expenditure of taxpayers’ money buying guns, killing people.

“It’s time for him (President Banda) to go, the hour has come for him to go.

Everything has time and his time to leave is now. We’re tired of the MMD government killing people without developing Barotseland. Who does he want to occupy our land when we’re all dead? He should not come here to campaign because he bragged that he didn’t solicit for votes from us,” said Lubasi.
