PeP STATEMENT No. 33 ISSUED ON FRIDAY, 30th APRIL 2021: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
1. As Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) we are very disappointed with the response that was given by the Minister of Home Affairs Honorable Stephen Kampyongo when asked in Parliament why the Zambia Police Service had detained Mr Ackson Sejani and others for a prolonged period of time without taking them to Court.

It is always beneficial to us all when the law is applied fairly and equitably across the board.
4. As Patriots for Economic Progress we are especially concerned by the actions of the Minister and the Police in this matter because Mr Ackson Sejani and others were polit
