The MMD has lodged a complaint to the Electral Commission of Zambia against Michael Sata over his alleged remarks at a rally on Sunday that he would deport investors of Lebanese, Chinese and Indian origin when he assumes office.
But Sata said it was shameful that the MMD was using the public media to distort his campaign messages.
"It is a very big shame for the public media to distort what I said at the public meeting. Why is it that it's only them (the public media)? The Post was there and they covered me adequately and exactly as I said things at the public meeting, are they not ashamed of that?" Sata asked. "Anyway they are not ashamed because they know that they are being used by government and Vernon Mwanga's team to do what they are doing."
He maintained that he would dport bogus investors to pave way for serious ones.
"All bogus inverstors will have to leave the country when I take over. We only want serious investors both local and foreign. In fact, we already have serious local investors that have shown that they can do it. Such as Lamasat, Lamis, Trade Knings and others so why should we keep bogus investors when our local ones are even better than them?" Sata asked. "So bogus investors will have to leave and I have no apologies to make over that. These new deal investors who are bogus have to go. I still maintain what I said."
