A consortium of Civil Society Organizations against the removal of subsidies has threatened to de-campaign the Members of Parliament that voted against the reinstatement of the removal of subsidies.
Spokesperson Andrew Ntewewe said they will go to their constituencies and remind the electorate of the decision taken by their MPs.
“We, the 12 CSOs have resolved that we will de-campaign the MPs that voted against the removal of subsidies during a motion tabled in parliament.
“This is a move that affects the poorest of our people and these individuals who are supposed to be considerate of the masses have decided to punish the already suffering poor further,” he said.
“We will go and remind the people so that they should bring their leaders to account for their actions.”
Solwezi MP Lucky Mulusa had moved a motion seeking the reinstatement of the removed maize and fuel subsidies but the motion was defeated by the ruling PF and some sell-out MMD MPs currently serving President Michael Sata’s government in inferior deputy ministerial positions.
