Vice President George Kunda has said no amount of bickering from the opposition political parties will detract government form pursuing its development agenda for the country.
Mr. Kunda alleged that the opposition political parties have nothing to offer for the people of Zambia.
He said it was strange that the opposition political parties cannot acknowledge the positive indicators of economic growth such as the single digit inflation rate and the general stability of the economy the government has made so far.
He was speaking on arrival at Livingstone International Airport this morning.
Mr. Kunda said Zambia has the potential to develop all her economic sectors especially if her citizens fully devote themselves to hard work.
And Mr. Kunda has said it was wrong for the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata to refer to the National Constitutional Commission (NCC) delegates as plunders.
The Vice President said there was a lot of decency at the NCC, adding that all the operations of the commission were guided by the law.
He explained that all the money being used at the NCC was budgeted for by parliament.
Mr. Kunda described Mr. Sata as a sadist who will never appreciate any positive stride the MMD government has making.
He said it would be dangerous for the people of Zambia to vote for Mr. Sata in the 2011 tripate elections because his characteristics have proved that he cannot be trusted.
He told hundreds of people that welcomed him at the airport that Mr. Sata should know that the NCC is comprised of men and women of integrity who are determined to give Zambia a constitution the country deserves.
Mr. Kunda has meanwhile advised opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilima to forego his association with Mr. Sata because he has no respect even for the UPND-PF pact members of parliament that are attending the NCC.
He said it is strange that Mr. Hichilima has kept quite over the unwarranted attacks by Mr. Sata instead of defending his MPs.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kunda has said the ruling MMD is the party for Zambia’s future because of its sound economic policies for the country.
He said the MMD government is now working on the 6th national development plan.
He has since appealed to the people of Southern province to vote for President Rupiah Banda in the 2011 tripate elections.

i love kunda! kunda for president!!!.vote kunda for president. alikwata mano mudala uyu iwe! awe if only nalimwanakashi
That was a genuine advise GK paying NCC meebers K5 billion kwacha? what do you that if no plunder? in hospitals we have no equipments you people not every one can afford to go to SA for treatment all we are saying is put our money to good use please………
No politician can be trust in zambia:o Hello:-?
Aha, by talking about the opposition he is destructedyet refusing. Why talk about things that are not affecting you and things that wont affect your chances of winning. Ba Kunda is a dissapointment, the issues he is raising is for the cadres not a high profile position like VP. Anyway that is MMD what do u expect? On his advice that HH should delink from PF, if the pact is useless as he likes saying, he should support it so that they wack it in 2011. But he knows the pact is winning hence the foolish advise he is peddling. he is a FOX. It wont work..
That was a genuine advise GK paying NCC members K5 billion kwacha? what do you call that if no plunder? in hospitals we have no equipments you people, not every one can afford to go to SA for treatment all we are saying is put our money to good use please………
So do George expect us not to say anything over our money? K5 b is a lot money or it because you do know how it feel to pay tax.
Single digit inflation is a total fluke. Honestly Mr VP can you accept that inflation has gone down due to, among other things, reduction in the price of Chibwabwa (Pumpkin leaves). This are things that are sprouting up on every rubish pit due to rains. Reduction in chibwabwa cannot outdo the increase in fuel. Think!!!!!!!!!!
While in Livingstone Mr. VP, visit the hospitals and schools & see how you have developed them.
George Kunda, why are you so greedy? You have a law firm, getting 2 salaries, allownces for acting as President when Bwezani flies out of the country (which he does on a regular basis) and you still want more allowances back paid?At Fisansa school, when we were kids you were never this greedy.Please Mwana, be reasonable.People in Serenje are suffering.How often do you go to serenje to see the conditions of your voters? Grow up George! You and your boss should stop being NATO(no action talk only):o:d/
hello ka neutral? at fisansa nali chikopo mune!mmm iwe mwalidiba mu state housi. i just take off my shoes sometimes and slide from corridor to corridor, especially when ba RB is out. its part of my treatment uku slider. ama guys ku serenje they are backwards. so i have left them to be backwards uko kwina alone . as backwardness is next to deviliness. mmmm voyi rb na disa, naya muku slider. wooooooooop woooooop=))
# 1 Mano nshi wasagamo muli Kunda? That is the problem we have in our country because of people like you # 1. Kunda has been busy making money using his office at the expense of Zambians. His wife is now the Senior Partner at his law firm and if you should know the Government just paid them K3.5 Billion for services rendered to the Government. (Conflict of interest) Now he is talking about paying members of the NCC K5 Billion (He also will have a share in it , i understand about K77.8 Million), so the question for you # 1, does you compendium work properly? But what I find more disturbing is your assertion that if only you were a woman, are you suggesting to be bed mates with this man? My friend if you did not know Ka Lyaka on this man, echo mufwila imwe bankoma matwi.
Who gave George Kunda his Law degree? There is a lot of imperfection is his logic sometimes it is so hideous to contemplate that this repulsive individual is actually THE vice President!
ka ngobolO,wot degree do you have yourself? lets not jsut talk here. i will start, myself i have a first class degree international economics and development. landa tumfwe
HH was misled – chief
CHIEF Mwanachingwala of the Tonga people in Mazabuka has accused Chief Nalubamba of the Ila of Namwala of having misled United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema into forming a political pact with Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata.
And Chief Mwanachingwala has charged that Chief Nalubamba is allegedly committing a crime for accusing former President Frederick Chiluba of plundering national resources even after the former head of state was acquitted of all allegations against him.
Chief Mwanachingwala alleged that the UPND has lost popularity in Southern Province because its members do not want to be associated with the PF and its leader.
Chief Mwanachingwala said Chief Nalubamba will be held responsible and accountable for the demise of the once vibrant UPND.
He said Mr Hichilema should have supported President Banda instead of following the misleading advice from Chief Nalubamba.
Chief Mwanachingwala said Mr Hichilema hurriedly went into a pact with Mr Sata without consulting most of the UPND members.
He said in an interview yesterday that had Mr Hichilema listened to the advice of many people and chiefs in Southern Province to support President Banda, he would have had a chance of becoming a head of state.
“If Mr Hichilema will never become President of this country, it is because of Chief Nalubamba. Chief Nalubamba misled Mr Hichilema to form a pact. Mr Hichilema should have supported President Banda because this was the advice from most of the chiefs in Southern Province. With the Pact, he will never be president of this country,” Chief Mwanachingwala said.
He alleged that Chief Nalubamba is an overzeous cadre of the PF/UPND pact because he was among the cadres who supported its formation.
Chief Mwanachingwala said most of the UPND MPs are now angry that Mr Sata has started labelling them as plunderers by virtue of their attending the National Constitutional Conference (NCC).
He charged that the pact will never work for as long as Mr Hichilema is considered a lesser important co-leader than Mr Sata.
Chief Mwanachingwala said some UPND MPs have no respect for Mr Sata because of his attitude towards other leaders.
He said even if he is not in good terms with Namwala member of Parliament Robbie Chizyuka, he is in agreement with most of his statements about the looming disintegration of the PF/UPND pact and the eventual demise of the UPND.
Chief Mwanachingwala advised Chief Nalubamba to tone down his cadre language when attempting to advise Government.
He said it is a crime for anyone to continue attacking former president Chiluba by insinuating that he mismanaged the country.
Chief Mwanachingwala said Dr Chiluba was acquitted of all the corruption cases and there is need to respect the court’s judgement.
He said Dr Chiluba as a Zambian has the right of association and is free to support any presidential candidate of his choice.
Chief Mwanachingwala said no Zambian has a right to stop Dr Chiluba from supporting a political party of his choice because he enjoys the freedom of association like any other citizen.
He said in 2006, Dr Chiluba publicly supported Mr Sata and that there were no accusations that the former president was involving himself in active politics.
But Chief Nalubamba said he is not the personal advisor of Mr Hichilema.He said Mr Hichilema has his own management team which advises him.
