Police order arrests as government and opposition trade blame over election violenceInspector General Graphel Musamba has directed all commanding officers to arrest everyone involved in recent political violence in Shibuyunji, Livingstone and Luampa districts, warning that political affiliation will not shield offenders from prosecution. The order comes six days before the country votes, with tensions rising over confrontations blamed variously on ruling party cadres and opposition supporters. “The law will be applied fairly, professionally and impartially, without regard to political affiliation,” Musamba said. “Every act of political violence, regardless of who the victim is, deserves a swift and impartial response,” Mundubile said, noting no arrests had followed the attack on Dimba. Socialist Party president Fred M’membe echoed the concern, accusing the ruling party of failing to end caderism during its time in office.
