TALKS over the installation of Paramount Chief Chitimukulu designate Henry Kanyanta Sosala between Government and the Bemba Traditional Council (BTC) have been revived.
A meeting between the two parties is tentatively set to take place in the next two weeks.
Sources from within the BTC said Chief Chikwanda had delivered a message from Government requesting the group of Bemba councillors called Bashilubemba to travel to Lusaka on a date to be communicated.
The source said the BTC was optimistic the talks would be fruitful and that the police officers deployed around the paramount chief’s official palace would be withdrawn.
The source also said the BTC was pleased that Government had taken a proactive approach and was as eager to see the unresolved
issues between the two parties ironed out.
Five of 72 councillors who make the BTC have been chosen to travel for the meeting in Lusaka.
