Political commentator Chilufya Tayali says Matero Member of Parliament Chilufya Tayali and his Kasama counterpart Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba have a future in the ruling party – PF than in the opposition UPND.
Tayali who also runs a one-man NGO called Zambia Voice says the UPND is about it’s leader Hakainde Hichilema whose focus is to use others to help him becoming president of Zambia.
Below is Tayali’s take:
Miles Sampa is an intelligent, vibrant, hardworking, charming and youthful adult. He has future in politics to even patch on the topmost position but this depends on how he plays it now. Time sometimes is a very important factor to consider like when you are stepping on an escalator. If you don’t time properly you can fall badly and hurt yourself never to walk again.
If in my humble way I had a chance to advise Miles before his resignation, I would have have told him not to because he caused unnecessary attention on him without achieving anything for it. Yes, Miles made news but what did he achieve. Of course one would say it is principle but what is that because he just look like a frustrated guy and a guy to watch by the PF hence the mini-demos against him.
Anyway it is already done, Miles has resigned but he has to becareful with the next step he takes. Having crowds around him like the one I saw at his home will not help him because it will cause anxiety in President Lungu and his supporters. Miles can’t have it with Lungu at this point so why agitate him. Besides I doubt Miles is clear on what he wants politically at this point. If it is Presidency I would definitely tell him you are off time.
There is a big temptation on Miles coming from UPND to join them, my view would be that it would be a very wrong move just like GBM. UPND is a well defined party in which Miles cannot freely identify himself that am part of it. In UPND HH rules and he only needs others for himself not otherwise. To HH GBM is not a colleague whom he seems as one who can also lead the party but one whom he can use to become President. You can call me names for it but it is a fact. HH’s focus is Republican President not mutual political development with others in HIS party otherwise he would have called for a conversion. Anyway my point is that Miles as well as GBM stands a chance in PF than in any other party unless they form their own.
To the PF and Edgar Lungu I think they would be making a big mistake to try and thwart Miles out because they need to realize that the race between ECL and HH is tight so every vote must count. Miles has political qualities which attracts a following so don’t force him into oblivion. He made an outrageous move, don’t let it work against all of you rather turn it into positive where you can show that you are a Democrat, conflict-proof and tolerant party. PF should not be like UNIP of old days when we used say UNIP Mulino, wakatako wapya.
If anything PF should be showing some signs of goodwill even to people like GBM and try to bring them back. Trust me GBM does not sleep and dream like a UPND because he is still PF even when he talks his language is PF. It is only out of frustration that he is there but he can come back and would be better off for him.
The combination of him and HH is so improper and I am sure GBM knows it. For example they both have money but where did GBM get his money compared to HH. Look at their attitudes and behavior towards money GBM is generous while HH is another which even the UPND members know.
Anyway I wish my brother Miles Sampa all the best as I encourage him to be focused and prudent. In Bemba we say sunga umukoshi ubulungu tabwayafya. Let him watch how Given Lubinda plays his cards.
Chilufya stop embarrassing us bemba speaking people. I have been following your statements. Today you want reconciliation the other day you are critical. Please remember other powrtfull names who were critical like you. My brother remember the words you used about RB when he was president. Furthermore member your words about president Lungu and now is H.H. You are not God neither his prophet. You cannot tell peoples desidentyn. Please be mimdfull about tommorow you may make a fool of yourself. Stop it.
tayali is a bad zambian ,we do not know your hatred with hh,gbm is not as u a tribalist , gbm is an independent guy, not even if you know lungu is worse as long he pays u.telling u the fact hh can run a better government than now, only few people enjoying.its sad for zambia to have such poor mind set of bleming hardworkers as wichcraft,
TAYALI DONT preach politics of hunger….A real man does not look to see on which side one lives best,but on which side lies duty…
Ati the two have future mu pf not UPND unless they form party yabo . Are you sure Tayali.
Anyway for this this doesn’t surprise me at all coz I have said it severely that as we draw closer to next elections alot of idiots will say write and do alot of stupid things to try and reduce chances for UPND so dont be surprise, but the good thing is that it won’t work.
Is this not tge same chap who said he was willing to see HH. How can anyone see him with his tribalistic approach to serious national Issues. By the way as far as I know sampa has pledged loyalty to lungu and pf so why is this kama useless cadre worried. What makes him think he will join UPND? Who knows maybe akapanga ichipani chakwe or join other already existing parties, if he choses UPND well and good as it will be within his democratic rights to do that.
It should dawn on every level-headed mind to understand that Ba Tayali WILL NEVER MATURE IN ORDER TO HELP ZAMBIA GROW ECONOMICALLY OR DEMOCRATICALLY. What is there in pf that Miles or GBM can hope for apart from the rampant corruption being encouraged by RB who is now consuming the party?
From your MYOPIC ANALYSIS, the only clear thing is TRIBALISM & HATRED for HH! Had you not brought in GBM, you would have probably secured a benefit of doubt but now everyone knows better — it is ABUNDANTLY clear from your article.
The country expects better intellectual representation from someone who calls himself an EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR! You are really embarrassing a lot of my friends and cousins!
Tayali are you not promoting Tribalism with such kind of Talk. That is pure aspect of TRIBALISM. And if it came from HH or Request Muntanga…..YOU WOULD HAVE HEARD THE CONDEMNATION IT WOULD HAVE RECEIVED!!!Shame on you tribalist Tayali. VIVA MILES SAMPA, VIVA GBM, VIVA HH AND VIVA UPND GOVERNMENT IN WAITING!
Tayali ulikapuba
How can someone have a future in a Party which does not recognise them.
Please mwe bantu do not listen to TAYALI
Tayali is at work and so he cant hesitate to comment Rubbish when he is payed huge sums of Cash.. He has now made it clear to me that he is a fool looking at this analysis. He thinks GBM can go back to pf ? Look at fools and idiots in pf Tayali !! Who can have future in pf the part which have failed zambians? You think pf have future? Shame on you Tayali and you are a true idiot in this country.. Tribalism is all what you eat and even use it as a tissue paper. Ifintu fimo uleibwelamo ka chikala nangu lupiya balekupela..
Tayali yu be the next minister or PS in PF, we r all aware abt kaili ECL appoints pipo without thinking so long they support him or join PF. So thos in awaiting appointments, its me, yoself Tayali and General kanene. I know how anxious yu are Tayali to have a share of Euro bond jst like Kaiza & Mulenga Sata hv benefited.
the advice fr mr.tayali is genuine if i was miles sampa i can take it they jst want to use them, so they a not careful they will cry let them consult sakwiba before they take any move.they wil face with heavy tribalism and feel unaccomodated
Tayali you are PF cadre and fully paid for such nsty work. You dont have a heart for majority zambian suffering. What concerns you at the end of the day that money sent to your account. Who does no that. The owners of PF dont even receive that amount. You are now fishing in distrurbed water and you think we dont know.
Tayali, you are just beating about the bush not driving home you points. You ought to be very specific in your so called analysis and not creating an atmosphere of division. I dont agree with you that though GBM is in UPND he dreams as PF. Your analysis makes me believe that you are indirectly defending the cause of a certain class with the aim of putting more bread on your table. Your comment has no substance or educative information, shame on you.
one wonders kind parents your parents were, to have nurtured a child of your calibre. i wish as a young man you could begin viewing this world from different perspective than your own tribe. you are a fool, reason being that you are advising GBM, Miles and HH to perpetuate tribelism. you are wrong, HH and GBM stands for unity amidst diversity, whereas you stand for division. in short you stand on the side of the devil himself while the duo stand on the side of Jesus christ who calls for unity. you are the devil yourself, we will see where your hatred of HH will go, but mark this: God is the one who gives leadership and if HH is by destiny designed to become president, he will become one whether you die or you live, whether you like it or not. HH, GBM and UPND forward.
