The United Party for National Development (UPND) in Eastern Province has warned its youths against mounting of illegal roadblocks in order to impound those exporting mealie meal to Malawi.
Eastern Province UPND Chairman, Johabie Mtonga, warned all those committing crimes in the name of the party to desist from doing so.
Mtonga said the party would not protect anyone found breaking the law.
“It has come to the attention of the Chair that some youths are mounting road blocks and searching for mealie-meal which is going into our neighboring countries and the same youths are taking advantage to illegally export mealie meal,” he said.
Mtonga has appealed to party members in the province to leave the issue of mealie meal to the District Joint Operations Committee (DJOC) and Provincial Joint Operations committee(PJOC) to deal with it.
Mtonga said anyone found wanting would be dealt with according to the law.
This is contained in a statement issued on Monday by Eastern Province UPND Deputy Spokesperson, Davy Kapwata.
