UNITED Party for National Development-UPND Southern Province Youth Information and Publicity Secretary, Lloyd Siambeta, has come to the defense of party Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa on a statement he made regarding tribalism.
This is after Mweetwa purported during a Press briefing that the UPND worked with Patriotic Front-PF member, Chishimba Kambwili, to spearhead tribal disunity in the run-up to the 2021 General elections.
Siambeta tells Byta FM News in an interview that the utterances by Mweetwa were taken out of context, clarifying that the party does not support tribalism.
He states that Kambwili’s tribal crusade begun way before being part of the UPND Alliance, adding that it is irony to link his tribal remarks to the same regime under which he was convicted for the very crime.
Meanwhile, Socialist Party President, Dr. Fred M`membe, has reported Mweetwa to Police over his statement that UPND worked with Kambwili to issue tribal remarks.
