Embattled Kabwata MP Kabwata Given Lubinda says he still has a bright future in the PF despite mounting pressure to resign from the ruling party.
In an interview in Lusaka, Mr. Lubinda said he does not see any reason why he should reconsider his future in the PF.
“I see my future very bright in the PF. There is no reason for me to start doubting my stay in the party. I’m here and I plan to stay here for the long haul.”
Mr. Lubinda stated that the party cadres who have petitioned for his removal from the party are merely exercising their democratic right.
“I have no control on how the cadres behave. They are not under my control and what they do is really not for me to control,” Mr. Lubinda explained.
He said as far as he is concerned, he is still a committed member of the PF and will continue with his commitment to the party.
Mr. Lubinda who is also Foreign Affairs Minister said he does not see why he should not report for work on Monday following threats that some PF cadres will block him from entering the Ministry Headquarters.
“I will go on and carry out my duties as assigned by President Michael Sata, I will report for work on Monday.”
Meanwhile, PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba has instructed party cadres not to forcibly remove from office any party official facing disciplinary actions.
Mr. Kabimba told a party fundraiser in Chilanga on Saturday that party cadres should allow the full disciplinary process to run its course before removing anyone from office.
nenemwe!!!!!
Its is intrestin to hear how positive this man is, thats the spirit honerable,dont get intemidated easily by those senoir members,but polish up to avoid such retrograsive accusations.Remain focused we expect more from you within.
Uko
Given is level headed and its clear that Wynter is suffering from dementia brought about by full blown AIDS. The 7day ultimatum is almost up so let us wait and see who the real ***** is!
Disliking someone’s actions does not mean those actions are caused by dementia. If you had any idea what dementia or full-blown AIDS was like, you would realize how asinine your comments are. Making comments such as yours contributes to stigma against People Living With HIV/AIDS, and spreads false information. Criticize Wynter for his actions, but don’t blame it on rumor diagnoses. His actions, to me, seem quite reasonable in that they increase his chances of having more power. Actions made by one with severe dementia are often not reasonable.
Yeah bo Lubinda.Go for it man.Too bad i am thousands of miles away.You could have used my back for protection.
BANE WINTER IS NO MATCH, JUST READ AGAIN LUBINDA,S REPONSE NOWONDER HE IS A THREAT. HAA HHA………….WINTER………………..
Wise words from a principled man, Lubinda. Yes, report for work on Monday and don’t be intimidated by thugs engineered by Kabimba.
Why is the president quite when it comes to winter vs gbm then winter vs ba Lubinda? But he is quick to respond if its mmd or upnd comment…….
SO, KABIMBA WHAT ARE YOU REALLY SAYING? THAT PARTY CADRES ARE ALLOWED TO REMOVE SOME OFFICIAL WHEN FOUND WITH THE CASE TO ANSWER? IS THAT LAWFUL, REALLY? LUBINDA, TO ME MAKES A LOT OF SENSE AND INTELLIGENT IN HIS STATEMENT AND THEREFORE FIT TO BE WHAT HE IS.
Given you wont last in the thug invested pf govt because u ar the only with a high IQ. pf is for empty brains
True…’empty tins make the most noise’ so the saying goes……
Brother Given you have my back till the day we will witness your swearing in as State President. In 2016: “Given nga taliko wonse yaba nibangwele.”
louse comments
Lubinda, Scott, Shamenda and Yaluma are what I would call level headed cabinet members who take the jobs seriously. However, if it is true That Given INSTIGATED the oppositio MPs on 1st lady’s budget allocation and other issues, what would you call that from a senior Cabinet member? collective irresponsiblity? I only hpe Winter is lying!
mmmm bo Lubinda u sly Fox u,ati “I have no control on how the cadres behave. They are not under my control and what they do is really not for me to control,”-very diplomatic way of letting us know that cadres are under kabimbas ctrl…i see u!!..anyway we are watching…U have handled urself well…do ur job and shame ur enemies!
I shudder at the thought of these so called misplaced cadres that are being paid by equally misguided Kabimba et al in trying to hound out PF’s only formidable good leaders. Well done Lubinda for the level headed response. Many questions arises of HE MCS none reaction to put a stop to this rot
LT tomorrow be at the office when Mr.Lubinda will be reporting for work because many will actually disobey that order of not stopping anyone from working. Mr.Lubinda will go to work with Heavy Police presence cadres acting unruly will be beaten by Police which i believe the cadres deserve, if they behave in such a manner.
A very intelligent and sound approach from the principled Lubinda. This intelligence always brings diarrhea to the dull Kabimba.
That’s what we call wisdom Hon. Given. Remember that, all of us have a heartache, been stained and long for freedom. the ball and chain of, especially, you in leadership is hard, but my prayer is that you shall brave and brake it. The bemba say; ‘IMITI IPALAMENE, TAIBULA KUSHENKANA.’ and it’s after a storm that one expect calmness. This we believe is good for our party. We pray the grace (His divine favour) and mercies of our LORD rain down on our party and the opposition at large. We thank the Lord God for H.E. MC Sata that he can not be moved by such trivial matters, “eyes on the ball” dady Michael, develop Zambia in the name of Jesus Christ.
kabimba must go he is the bad seed in the party. mr sata please do something about this boy and give he time to grow up twapapata
you are the future president of zambia!! so let those empty tins keep making noise! you and sata are a perfect match ))
I have no regrets for this Given Lubinda,you were once warnedthat you are in a group of thugs! I remember when you came to Botswana you were shouting us your frllow Zambian citizens behaving like p/cocks. Secondly you issued a statement regarding a student who died in the Eastern Europe,as a man whom i held in the high esttem,i felt very disappointed by your behaviour.
Just love the way Given handles issues very calm and collected. The next presido………..
Unbelievable that my comment on supporting Lubinda as next president was deleted. my comment was there between 5-6.
Unbelievable that some websites can support Kabimba, shocking!!
Ba Mushota batalaala, tabakwete internet ku Zambia, ngabliya katwishi?
any way bapuba.
Mwandi, show them, and am sure ba daddy is waiting and proud of you…
cheap propaganda this story is going nowhere Lubinda is still PF with powers intrusted in him by President Sata who owns the Party, Kabimba is on the loosing side.
Kabimba is the one who should resign his position. He is both loud and not disciplined.
The biggest problem in PF is that it is full of dull people. Lubinda himself is aware. The very fact that PF members are aware that Lubinda is aware that they are dull is the reason why he should be expelled (for being aware that they are dull)
Who is kabimba and which constituence does he represent, Zambia is not PF and PF is not Zambia. Mind you the system of governing in the world where a gang is formed to go and roit natural resources in the name of political party should come to an end. Watch and learn on Uganda ‘s Idi amini we are very close to that movie or history. PF cadres be careful you dont have passports and money to leave this country.
The president only speaks when it comes to acc and kabimba.
I can smell some leadership qualities in you Lubinda. We need more of your like minded .
Mr SATA!Its time to speak out because keeping quite symbolizes that you are always one sided.Advise WINTER not to think is untouchable. It was GBM and now its LUBINDA. Hands up to the two guys for there responses as they seem not to be intimidated cheaply.Its too early to start fighting for 2016 presidency moreover WINTER is not a presidential material but purely a confusion whistle blower. Look at MMD.
sate sate,ve you just noticed now??
Yah it was GBM and now Lubinda, but how did it end with GBM?????????????????
Lubinda is the man.
this web sit surports sata and kabimba,most of my comments are not shown.thats why i love ba watchdog
Pls police protect this hard working and intelligent minister form harassment by Kawimbes candres and show these canders that they are not rulers of this nation.We are fed up with candre misbehaviour pls restore order in politics of Zambia.
I wish you all the best bo Given. It is honourable of you not to back down to the whims of losers like WMK. Stick by the Zambian ideal ‘innocent until proven guilty’ and may WMK prove that you connived with the opposition and not you proving your innocence.
Lubinda for President,viva!
SOMETIMES CHILDREN FIGHT IN A BIG FAMILY BUT ITS UP THE PARENT TO PUT ALL TOGETHER.
THE PRESIDENT MUST EMBRACE LUBINDA, KABIMBA, GBM, KAMBWILI AND ALL HIS MEMBERS AND THE NATION INCLUDING THOSE THAT DONT LIKE HIM AND HIS LEADERSHIP.
Remember confusious words? I see and I remember, I hear and I forget. From what I have read so far, these guys are up to something to confuse us and make us lose track of important issues that we are supposed to spend valuable time on. If what is taking place was that important, I am certain the president would have jumped in and interjected in the drama between Kabimba and Lubinda. As it is right right now, the PF is cooking up something to see how the citizens will react to such eventualities. I will wait and see how far this thing is going. The other thing that doesn’t make sense is what HH said about starving men with sex. What kind of politics is that? Is it that important? If one choses to kutoila siteleki, let them go for it.
Come 2016, Lubinda will be one of the presidential candidates. This guy is sharp.
MR. LUBINDA TRULY YOUR HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE. ME I SEE YOU ARE THE NEXT ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT.
Lubinda, truly the next President of Zambia. Kabimba, soon getting into the gallows.
34-ITS MMBEMBE WHO DOESN T WANT GBM,LUBINDA AND NOW KAMBWILI.THESE ARE THE PIPO WHO STOOD FOR SATA.NOW IT IS MMBEMBE ENJOYING AND DICTATING TOGATHER WITH KK
Mr Lubinda – I am pleased to see a leader that follows the laid done rules, Innocent until proved guilty. STAY STRONG, DON’T BE DISTRACTED. FORWARD THINKING is the answer dear Zambia. In view of the threats against you, to be removed from office forcibly, an elected official is CRIMINAL. If there is NO LAWS on the books to protect elected officials, take this as an opportunity to introduce legislature with stiff jail terms for perpetrators against elected officials. Educate the grade 4 term 2 about the laws.
I just love Given let us protect him!
wynter kabimba please…please expel Given lubinda from our party he is a disgrace to our party for leakin information to our enemies the UPND,MMD,ZWD,LT…..
what information
Way to go GL!
Lubinda is one of the most sobber charecters in the PF. Most are either real Kaponyas, old and worn out or just pure brainless ignorant un educated retards
Yah wiser than HH
WHY IS SATA QUIET OVER SUCH ISSUES CONCERNING PEOPLE WHO CAUSED HIM PRESIDENCY. SOME PEOPLE VOTED FOR SATA COZ OF LUBINDA.
one thing i lyke about the cobra is that,hez very sharp and am sure he knows wat hez doing.Lubinda is a man of action,no-1 can dispute that.i think wynter has a problem somhow.he almost wantd to destroy GBM.MY ADVISE TO WYNTER IS THAT,LET THIS GUYS SERVE THE PIPO OF ZAMBIA.WE KNO WAT THEY CAN DO.WITH THE WAY THINGS R GOING,I DONT THINK WYNTER CAN EVEN B AN ALTERNATIVE 4 PF PRESIDENCY COZ HE CAN REALY BRING CONFUSION.IF NOTHIN IS DONE AS SOON AS POSIBLE,WYNTER WILL DEVIDE THE PF
Given Lubinda for 2016. thats all I can say in short
Watching the drama from the terraces. If Lubinda is hounded out of office, what next for him after such embarrasment? And if he is not booted out, what will that cadre Silubanje do? If harmony returns after this high level cacophony, then it is true that the whole thing was aimed at diverting people’s attention from real issues.
THIS IS INTERESTING. BUT A GUY SUCH AS LUBINDA IS A VERY BIG ASSET TO THE PF. YOU CANNOT JUST LOSE SUCH CALIBRE. THERE IS ALSO PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL IN THIS MAN. IF I WERE HIM, I WOULD STICK WITH THE PF UNTIL SATA FINISHES HIS TWO TERMS THEN TAKE OVER FROM HIM.
Ba Chisenga, Do u really think people will have anything to do with PF after two terms? They will hate it so much that any one standing on PF ticket except of course in Luapula and Northern will be looked at as if he or she is not normal in the head. Watch this space.
SATA 2 TERMS YOU MUST BE JOKING.LUBINDA WILL BE VICE PRESIDENT TO HH PERIOD.
I smell a rat! Is this not a question of jealousness by other PF Minister, including Mr Kabimba on Mr Lubinda’s success in such a short time? I see Hon Lubinda as a man with golden hands because whichever Ministry the President sends him to, he achieves. Example: When he was at Information, the Ministry was ticking. Under Mr Sakeni, the Information Ministry is as good as dead. So is the Ministry of Tourism and Arts. He was taken to Foreign Affairs where i am told he represents Zambia even better than old VJ though the handicap is he has no supporting staff in Missions abroad as all of them are cadres appointed from the Party.
Ooooooh, Lubinda and Sata look so well together. These two are meant to be together. They are really comrades.
he has a bright future…. who cares
Winter the army worm has lost it 1c again.
:d I am very impressed by the action attributed by Strong man and intelligent Hon LUBINDA YOU A MAN WHO CAN SAVE PF FROM CRUMBLING. THE MAN TO IS THE OUT SPOKEN kABAIMBA WHO HAS NO PASSION FOR PF. MR.Sata if you allow the removal of Hon Lubinda that will be the begin of PF down fall. Uwakwebele infwa ya kwanoko mutanshi. stay way from Kabimba’s maneuvers
I wish I were married to a Principled / Down to earth / humble / quick to listen and slow to anger and answer like LUBINDA. U are 1 out of a million, cant even compare you to any of the bloggers here.
