President Hakainde Hichilema has called on people to report where else cadres are collecting fees meant for the council.
The president is disturbed by reports that there are still incidents of people who are posing as political cadres continuing to illegally collect fees even though councils have started collecting revenue from bus stations and markets.
“The police do not need to be prompted as they have full powers to arrest such individuals” President Hichilema said in his recent tweet.
The President further urged traders to ensure they report those individuals to law enforcement without fear of retaliation.
“This practice should be stopped completely, and all the money that was collected before the Councils resumed must be followed through and accounted for. Tell us where cadres are still collecting fees meant for the Council” he said.
