President Michael Sata has said that he is disappointed with the failure by Inspector General of police to take action on people who are inciting to create a state within a state in Western Province.

Mr. Sata has also directed the security wings in the country to intervene in the matter in which Dr. Nevers Mumba is allegedly inciting other pastors on the copperbelt to lie over the constitution.

The president said that he was a disappointed commander- in-chief because the police is aware that people in western province are being incited to create a state within a state but are not doing anything about it.

President Sata said that some people in western province have appointed a prime minister and are looking for offices to start running a country yet the police are not doing anything about it.

Mr. Sata said that he does not want to involve the Zambia Army because the police are capable of resolving the problem. He has however, called on defense forces to assist each other in preventing an eminent crime.

Mr. Sata said that the appointment of a prime minister in western province and the spreading of lies by Dr. Nevers Mumba that the PF government intends to include homosexuality in the new constitution is a serious crime.

He further called on security forces in the country to cooperate and look into the two issues before the situation gets out of hand stating that prevention is better that cure.

Mr. Sata has also advised Dr. Mumba to concentrate on justifying how he abused resources in Canada instead of using innocent people to incite confusion.

QFM’s Namasiku Njovu reports that the president was speaking in Kabwe this morning during the commissioning parade of 164 officer cadets.

And army commander, Lieutenant General Paul Mihova has cautioned the cadets to be professional and not to involve themselves in partisan politics.
