Kalonzo has called for the disbandment of the police Operation Support Unit, alleging that it has been used to intimidate opposition supporters. The former vice president claimed that members of the unit have targeted individuals associated with the opposition, leading to fears of arrest and abduction.
According to Kalonzo, the unit's actions have created an environment of fear among those who oppose the ruling party. He emphasized that the operation is not aimed at maintaining public order but rather at silencing dissent. This claim comes amid growing concerns about the use of state security forces against political opponents.
The allegations highlight ongoing tensions between the government and opposition groups. While no official response has been issued yet, the situation underscores the risks faced by political activists in the region. Kalonzo’s remarks were made during a public address, where he urged authorities to investigate the unit’s activities.
