Why always me? Lusambo complains

- By NATION REPORTER

BOWMAN Lusambo has decried the continued harassment he has suffered at the hands of the State, saying if there is something the UPND is not happy about, he is ready to ask that he be crucified so that those who are hurting about his being alive can be happy without his existence on earth.

Mr Lusambo, who is in Kasama, has been summoned by the police and was yesterday expected to present himself at the Police Force Headquarte­rs in Lusaka.

He complained that he did not know why the State was after him more than two years of being pursued.

“Why me. What have I done? I was in government and they (government) have investigat­ed me in all what I have done and they have found nothing but they have continued harassing and pursuing me. I am in court in Luanshya, I am in court in Kabwe and I am in court in Lusaka…I do not know whether it is three or five cases. If they want to kill me, let them tell me so that I can go to the Freedom Statue and ask them to kill me so that they can feel nice that I am no longer on earth because they have failed to tell me what wrong I have done,” Mr Lusambo lamented.

Mr Lusambo said he was a small boy in government who was a provincial minister and is wondering why the State had continued hunting for him. He said out of the 10 provincial ministers in the PF government, the State had only picked on him and yet he had never committed anything wrong against Zambians.

“If God has placed something in me. Please do not blame me. Talk to God. Let them talk to God and ask him why he has put destiny in me. If God has destined me, it shall be and they will not stop me,” Mr Lusambo said.

He complained that for more than two years, the UPND regime had been persecutin­g and fixing him for the sins he had never committed. I am tired with this. I am only a human being. I am fed up.

If they have anything against me they feel they can use to punish me, so be it if that is going to make them feel satisfied with their lives,” Mr Lusambo said.
