Bwala hinged his call on the purported "lack of cooperation between the air force and army".

He wrote:

"If this perceived lack of cooperation between the air force and army continues, where we see schoolboy errors resulting in ragtag bandits taking our armoured vehicles and munitions, then both ministers of defence may need to be shown the door out. No sentiments."
