President Edgar Lungu has urged people with issues on the Barotse Agreement of 1964, to engage government through the Barotse Royal Establishment -BRE.

President Lungu says this is because the BRE and the Zambian government are the only signatories to the agreement.

The President says the Litunga signed on behalf of the BRE and former President, Kenneth Kaunda signed on behalf of the Zambian government.

President Lungu emphasised that as a Lawyer, he understands what he is talking about.

The President says he will not allow those who want to ignore the BRE to use political parties to comment on the matter.

President Lungu explained that he has in the past avoided to comment on the matter because of its sensitivity.

He said government, the BRE and Zambians are willing to continue to promote peace and unity in the country.

The President was speaking upon arrival at Mongu Airport in Western province.

President Lungu is in Western province to commission a number of development projects, which include the Mongu-Kalabo road, and the construction of King Lewanika University.

And speaking when he welcomed the President, Western Province Minister, Poniso Njeulu assured the head of state that the PF will win more seats at local government level, in the August 11, general elections.

President Lungu has since proceeded to Limulunga to meet the Litunga, before embarking on his working visit to the province – ZNBC
