Second republican president Frederick Chiluba has voiced out on the red card campaign describing it as illegal.
The red card campaign being spearheaded by Father Frank Bwalya and a consortium of civil society organizations seeks among other objectives to force government to appeal against the acquittal of Dr Chiluba.
Dr. Chiluba’s spokesperson Emmanuel Mwamba said the whole campaign is illegal and should not be allowed to continue.
Mr. Mwamba said the red card campaign is aimed at removing the legitimate government from power.
He added that Dr Chiluba is not bothered by the campaign being championed by the civil society organizations because it is illegal.
Mr. Mwamba has also said civil society organizations championing the red card campaign should not pretend to be fighting for the Zambian people when they are just pursuing their selfish agendas.
Mr. Mwamba said Zambians are not calling for the appeal against the acquittal of Dr Chiluba.

I am perturbed by the calling the red card campaign illegal by former president Chiluba. It seems we as a people are slowly losing our democratic rights by laws that seem to spring up on us from the dark. Are as citizens going to be stifled from expressing our displeasure on the failings of government? Is it not our democratic right to have freedom of expression or speech the Red Card campaign is exactly that. Democracy dictates that we have the right to chose who leads us so if we by way of the Red card campaign have kicked off next year election campaign well to bad for you Mr former president. If the people did not feel that lack of political will stopped the appeal against you I am positive you would sleep at ease. People want a system that is fair and void of favour for political gain. I leave it to the people.
