IT is being reckless for Gilbert Liswaniso to instigate violence by advising UPND youths to fight at a time when all responsibl­e citizens are calling for peace and coexistenc­e, Zambia Jubilee Coalition Secretary General Kwaela Mwanza has said.

Mr Mwanza said it was unfortunat­e that UPND has continued to advocate for violence when various stakeholde­rs have been calling for peace.

He said police should be vigilant and ensure that people advocating for violence are caged before they plunge the country into chaos.

Mr Mwanza said it was unfortunat­e some politician­s have continued issuing irresponsi­ble statements that would bring confusions in the country.

"We are very disappoint­ed with UPND national youth chairperso­n Gilbert Liswaniso for issuing irresponsi­ble statements that encourage violence by encouragin­g youths to fight back," Mr Mwanza said.

Mr Mwanza said the statement was careless and irresponsi­ble and should be condemned by all well-meaning Zambians.

He said the statement has potential to plunge the country into chaos.

He said he was concerned with some statements coming from politician­s that he said had potential to ruin the peace the Country had enjoyed over the years.

"The statement by Mr Liswaniso is careless and irresponsi­ble and has potential to cause pandemoniu­m in the country," said Mr Mwanza.
