LUSAKA, Friday, November 1, 2013 – His Excellency, Mr Michael Chilufya Sata, President of the Republic of Zambia, has wondered why UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema always speaks with a sense of destruction and a gossip tone.
President Sata’s remarks come in the wake of Mr. Hichilema’s recent angry outbursts where he claimed instability in the governance system of the country.
The Head of State noted that Mr. Hichilema’s mainstay line of attack lately is that of agitation for discontent.
“But our comfort and strength lies in the Zambian people’s awareness that Mr. Hichilema is a bad political investment for his followers as well as a clueless political disaster bent on deliberately misleading the country,” the President said.
“We know that the most difficult test for any leader is dealing with the aftermath of an electoral defeat. Therefore, Mr. Hichilema is too angry to contribute meaningfully to the development of the country.
He is so frustrated and when anger transforms into a full-blown rage, judgment and thinking becomes impaired and people are more likely to do and say unreasonable and irrational things.
So let’s understand Mr. Hichilema from that perspective.” President Sata reaffirmed his Government’s commitment to dialogue with various well-meaning stakeholders on key national issues.

Just was given a gallon of raw milk from a friend who has some excess right now. Farm cheese is what I am going to make now, but I am very interested in your other cheese experiences. Thanks so much for sharing with all of us what you do (I am all the more appreciative of that as I know from my own life how hard it can be to take/find/make the time to blog).
That’s a knowing answer to a dilucifft question
If the president new that he is taking the country in the right direction and he has the support of Zambians, then he should not worry about HH. Issuing baseless statements just shows that the president is scared of the young man, and the statement was issued by someone else. Can he call for a press conference and show us he is better than HH, I bet he will not.
It is a matter of time when lies will catch up with Mr Sata and the thieves surrounding him. We have all been keenly following the failures of the PF Government. No amount of intimidation will stop us from supporting the true and factual observations of HH on this confused government. PF has taken the people of Zambia for granted just like MMD did in their 20 years. Very soon, PF will cry foul!! You cannot take people for granted!
its sad that our dear president seems to have forgoten that he was once in opposition and behaved the same way.How i wish he can reccal.
George Chellah boyi don’t fall prey 2 these old politicians who are in the evenings of the lives on earth.We will hold you against your actions in future soon 2 come
George Chellah must be warned that political appointments are very fluid, slippery and ephemeral (short-lived). It is Chellah and his boss – and not HH – who happen to be bad political investments at State House.
It is sad that Chellah has mutated into an egocentric species to an extent of nurturing a devilish dictatorial system that traverses on the rights of even his own parents, relatives and people of Mbala – that is if Chellah hates the rest of Zambians linked to other provinces other than Northern.
If Chellah had his ears to the ground, he should have picked telling wavelengths to the effect that many senor PF members are bitterly complaining about Sata’r dictatorship styles. The Chitimukulu and the Bemba Chiefs have had their share of frustrations under with Sata, Prof. Luo and the Chibesakunda Family.
The open quarrels between Kabimba’s and GBM’s camps were not fermented by HH. Hence, the PF has primed its own self-destruction atomic bomb. And Chellah should sober up and tame his overzealous trait of attacking opposition leaders.
Chellah must consult Malupenga how his colleague and fellow Post worker ended up in Mongu. Malupenga is now languishing in Mongu with no teeth to bite and an object of ridicule by the people of Western Province. Yesterday was 1st November, today is 2nd November 2013. The clock is ticking fast towards 2016 when the real tsunami will devastate the PF.
An attack on HH is an attack directed to the people of Zambia. The removal of subsidies on essential services, muzzling of the press freedom, torture of political opponents, the silent murmurs in Barotseland and the PF policy to freeze jobs and salary increments has placed Zambians in a state of mourning.
Very soon Sata’s family will also experience the agony that the people of Zambia are passing through. “CHAWONA MUZAKO CHAPITA MAWA CHILI PA IWE”.
In this regard, Chellah must be warned that the Zambian TEARS will NOT be shed in vain and will NOT spare him when God answers our prayers.
Mr President why can’t you for a press briefing other than using your mouthpiece George Chella? Is it true that you have no option but rock yourself in State House because you have no issues? Clarify Mr Shameless Liar.
Mr President just address the issues raised! Your stance seems to be a defensive one and your language is too unpalatable for a President!!
HH is truly a bad political investment, you are right my president!
U AR A DISGRES TO YOSELF,U AR STIL UNDER CUSTOD OF DON’T KUPWITI.
I think HH can do better . Look at the way PF is being managed ..NO leadership , and yet the PF leader is a president of the country …is that not a JOKE ?????
Mr President ! How many times did you lose ? 3 times ? So its not strange , try to call for a press conference we hear you answer some questions to see where you are taking the country or where the country is taking you ..if at all you will manage to answer even one…
