Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General Winter Kabimba says contrary to assertions by some sections of society, he has no supervisory function over any government institution.
Mr. Kabimba said he had no role to play in government and had nothing to do with decision making in government since he was merely the chief administrator of the ruling party.
He stressed that he was just a recipient of President Michael Sata’s prerogative to be the third in command in the PF’s hierarchy.
Mr. Kabimba said this in Livingstone yesterday when he featured on a live phone-in governance program on Radio Musi-oa-Tunya.
However, the PF Secretary General said his party was interested in knowing how social and economic programs contained in its manifesto were being implemented by government on a daily basis.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kabimba described President Michael Sata as a leader of substance as he did not need propaganda from the media to qualify him as a suitable leader.
He said the people of Zambia voted President Sata into power and he did not need any instrument to glorify him unnecessarily.
Furthermore, Mr. Kabimba said the early retirement of Journalists in the public media was not a new phenomenon as all people engaged as employees had to stop working at some point.
He said it was not fair to pick media as a special enclave for early retirement when others in different sectors had also suffered a similar fate.
And Mr. Kabimba said the PF government was made up of selfless leaders and cited the reduction in international presidential trips as a measure that had saved the country billions of kwacha since a single international trip undertaken by the Head of state cost an average of US$1 million (about K5 billion).
He also said the abolishing of user fees in health institutions and reduction in mealie meal prices were all part of the PF’s policy to serve the people and improve their standard of living.
QFM

Its a no brainor Mr. Kabimba or white er he calls himself should refrain from commenting on behalf of Government and concentrated on building the party and grooming someone to to replace ukwa if the party needs lasting longer than ukwa in office..
this is good news mr. kabimba. wishing the pf govt all the best as they deliver to the zambian people.
‘…..third in command in the PF’s hierarchy’ is just fine as long as you are not third in protocal at state functions. This is the way it should be.

Nomba imwe ba winter kabimba, inkanda pamenso naifula; bushe yafuma kwii?
terrible indeed..
RB produces bumper maize harvest we take the credit and insult him in return, yap yap yap, that is how I earn my living.
Where does he, then, get the powers to make it compulsory for all governments departments have the PF manifesto stack in their offices?
He has the authority from the Ruling government which is Pf government.You need to understand that the Pf Party is the party that has formed the current Government and therefore you are supposed to respect that fact.
It is a Pf Government and not MMD.
Thanks
Ba Dollar naimwe muliesebanya fye. If he the CEO of the ruling party, what has it got to do with government directives? Think before you answer this time baba.
Dollar you’re just embarrassing yourself in public.
Summer wants all government offices to have PF manifestos, in which capacity is he giving this directive?
Government of confusion by the confused.yerstaday @ all government departments should have pf manifesto ,to day @ I don’t have any position in government….amalabish
YOU ARE STUPID SIR, JUST KEEP QUITE
TThe powerful Secretary General,may the good Lord keep you well you are taking issues well matually and professionally politically. You are not like these others,corrupt minded people no longer have room in this government….if people want to privatise a party consult the follwing experts please…RB and batata ba William Bamba, for more information contact MMD party members please.
I get that, but where did your party suddenly find the money to pay you a salary? You’re the reason why that country can’t progress. You’re definitely getting paid handsomely. You probably received a windfall check when Sata took over.
You should not even have role in government, really if you are a law graduate leave by that emulate late levy (MHSRIP)
Funny how someone can make statement like they are talking to kids and expect to be believed, well many already believe him. The catche statement here is “However, the PF Secretary General said his party was interested in knowing how social and economic programs contained in its manifesto were being implemented by government on a daily basis.” How does he do that? Of course there are ministers responsible in the ministries these can report back to him but no. He physically wants to get reports from the PS, Directors and carry out personal checks….and someone can easily believe that he has no role in government. Please try another line.
What kind of waste is that where you spend $ 1,000,000 on a trip. How many people are on an intourage and how many people are actually working.Â
