CONTINUED GASSING INCIDENCES ADVERSELY AFFECT MOST BUSINESSES IN LUS...AKA
By Balewa zulu
The continued gassing of innocent citizens by unknown individuals has adversely affected most businesses in Lusaka.
A check by phoenix news in some markets in Lusaka found that most small businesses have recorded a reduction in their sales due to reduced trading hours for fear of being gassed.
And those trading in body perfumes say they fail to sell any of their products as people suspect that they are selling the unknown chemicals.
Meanwhile former Zambia chamber of commerce and industry-ZACCI- president Micheal nyirenda says the ongoing unrest caused by unknown individuals gassing members of the public has a negative impact on businesses in the country.
Mr Nyirenda in an interview with phoenix news is concerned that if not addressed quickly, the situation will be disastrous as it will inhibit the growth of the economy.
He says businesses are now forced to close early due to security concerns arising from gassing incidences.
Further, Mr Nyirenda is of the view that Zambia will record a downward growth of the economy as most investors are likely to lose confidence in the country due to the current happenings.

GASSINGS LINKED TO 2017 FIRES
A LINK between countrywide fires caus...esed by chemicals in 2017 and current gassing of homes could establish the source of the scourge and Zambians have been implored to give police enough time to thoroughly investigate the source of the substances being used in the gassing of people’s homes, Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Tutwa Ngulube has said.
The gassing, Mr Ngulube said, seemed to form a pattern with regard to the modus operandi and incendiaries used to burn markets and public buildings in 2017.
Mr Ngulube, who is Deputy Parliamentary Chief Whip, said in an interview yesterday that the country was witnessing the same scheme intended to stoke fear and disaffection through vandalism of public infrastructure after the 2016 general elections.
At the time a number of United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres were arrested and arraigned in court after being found with chemicals capable of causing fires.
Other senior officials were found with tasers, tear gas canisters and pepper sprays.
Mr Ngulube said Zambia’s security wings needed enough time to trace the masterminds of the current wave of chemical attacks on innocent citizens, which are triggering riots and extra-judicial killing of suspects by instant justice mobs in high density communities.
“In 2017 as the markets and government offices were being burnt there was a pattern of some people aligned to a political grouping maliciously accusing the government of being behind the fires. We have noticed the same pattern in the current attacks by unknown people who are spraying highly toxic chemicals in dwelling houses,” Mr Ngulube said.
He said the widespread chemical attacks smacked of a well-planned political scheme similar to the 2017 fires.
There was therefore a need for the police to ensure that the culprits did not get away with acquittals and discharges once they were caught and taken to court.
“That is why we should all be patient with the police. Let them work freely without any undue pressure. We are already witnessing a flurry of incoherent statements from some entities. Why are they so jittery? The innocent should not worry?” Mr Ngulube assured.
