Mr President we know you have the right to appoint people to work with. But when we look at some of the people surrounding you, we wonder what value they add to you, to PF and to the nation as a whole.
People like Davies Chama, Mumbi Phiri, Sunday Chanda, Frank Bwalya and Chilufya Tayali. Sir these people are doing more harm to you than the good you think they are doing.
Let us take Davies Chama for example.
Davies Chama, Sir, is simply a disaster. As we write Davies Chama is supposed to be behind bars or at the least attending court sessions following his criminal case of shooting someone during the Mulobezi by-election early this year. There is precedent in this case where a doctor Solomon Musonda shot and wounded a PF (yes PF) cadre during a political fracas around 2011. Musonda was then deputy minister of health but was fired by then President Rupiah Banda and the law took its course.
Davies Chama’s case is simple and straight forward. He shot someone in the buttocks. This implies that the individual was facing away from Chama. That cant be self defence. Even if Chama claims that his driver is the one who shot Mushaukwa using Chama’s gun, Chama should have still been arrested for ‘failure to secure a fire arm’. The fact that Chama is still out and about and his case has not seen the light of day in any court, implies that the PF govt has discarded the rule of law.
Soon after this shooting, Chama would have been expected to take a low profile. But not Chama. He immediately issued a statement that was taken as an insult to the Tonga people and at worst pure tribalism. He said a Tonga would only rise to the Presidency of this country maybe in a 100 years after the Tonga have multiplied enough through their polygamous ways.
Shockingly Chama refused to apologise. Most PF members defended Chama including you Mr President. You said that Chama was only stating a fact. Similarly, your minister of information and chief govt spokesperson, Chishimba Kambwili, challenged the chiefs of Southern province that Chama had refused to apologise and if they wanted they could kill him.
In the face of the ever increasing complains by citizens over the massive load shedding the country is undergoing, Chama advised opposition leaders to ‘go and urinate in Kariba dam to fulfill it up’. This if it passed you Mr President, that came out as pure mockery of the people of Zambia and does not depict a govt which is working hard to resolve a problem which has crippled our economy.
Recently Chama said of a woman, Edith Nawakwi, that she dances every night. Mr President we all what Chama meant here and it is an undoubted insult to all the women not only in Zambia but the world over.
As if all the above were not enough, just this weekend Chama fabricated a story in which it was said your number one contender Hakainde Hichilema called some chiefs in Southern province, to lambast them for receiving Davies Chama and speaking Bemba. Mr President, to tell you the truth very few Zambians believe this story. Further this story has just created more problems for you with the chiefs of Sourthen province if you didn’t realise.
It is very difficult to believe this story simply because Times of Zambia and ZNBC cannot produce the conversation (with the distinctive Hichilema bariton voice). Such a recording can easily be gotten from Airtel, MTN or Zamtel whichever Hichilema uses. To make matters worse, the two chiefs whom Hichilema is said to have called have refused the story adamantly.
Mr President, this story is coming at a time when the credibility of your party is completely tatered due to failed campaign promises. The image of the PF as a party of liers is being entrenched on a daily basis and we are sure the UPND will do everything to drive this point home.
ALL pf are Idiots, Lungu is thier Chief.
They are birds of the same feathers.PF and its leadership main pr-occupation is to maintain their stay in power using undemocratic means and violence.If opposition members are brutalized its OK,NO arrests but when its PF complaining police have to arrest.Worse is that Fixing the economy is longer a priority,politicking has taken center stage and major pr-occupation.No production in the country,busy borrowing to campaign.The future generation will have a nasty history and consequences to reflect upon.
Morons fooling themselves you cant win elections on the internet you idiots.
I have not heard of the government refuting on the 25 evils against HH ? And secondly, I have not heard of Sampa forming his own party. What is the position of the Government of these 2 issues? Even these most talkative , have not touched on te subject! Does it mean, you are the originator of these issues? Kuyabebele , come out and defend these issues.
There president, Chama , chimbwi phiri, chimbwili are all the same, no one is reasoning to them it’s normal.
It is not by coincidence that Chama, M Phiri, Kambwili, A Chanda etc. do what they, that is their job description written by one Edgar Lungu. It is not like he does not know, he is the architect or the puppet master pulling strings behind the scene. The Chamas’ etc. are just being used to do the dirty work like ponies on the chess board. That guy is very evil, I mean Lungu.
Political clowns will always cause anarchy in that country…the constitution somehow supports them..lol?
Pliz leave the sleeping dog lie. ECL does not realize that this chama and that ka woman with tu ma insulting lips mumbi phiri are decampaignig him. The vision is not there and wl be shocked.
just leave ECL and his batch of f.o
o.ls. Let them continue eith self distruction. i believe they didnt do enough prior to the january 2015 by election, probably because of Sata’s name that voters sympathesed for. but now, kuyabebele! hhfor2016.
I mean lets not waste our time asking the president who to fire or not….
Gents lets not waste our time… The president has a mind that tells him that what his team is doing is ok… Don’t blame Cham(b)a, Mumbi or chishimba, they are colleagues, they understand each other and there works, hence, they are together. The sad thing is that the president is of the same type! If its to remove Cham(b)a, Mumbi or chishimba, we have to start with ECL becoz the back stops at him… Country men and women, that is very a staight forward issue.
Chama is always on the border line….He tells HH and Nawakwi to go and urinate in Lake Kariba to fill it up so that ZESCO stops load shedding! Indeed he shot a person in Mulobezi bye election….he is such a liability to PF!
Remember President Lungu’s 25 evil plans against HH and UPND? they are already at work and in a complicated way now since the master minders knows they are exposed.zambians let us fight for mother zambia not for individuals. VOTE FOR UPND IN 2016!
