VICE-President George Kunda says there is a rift between Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata and his United Party for National Development (UPND) counterpart Hakainde Hichilema.
Mr Kunda charged the two leaders, whose parties have formed a political alliance, have not been in talking terms of late.
He said the rift between the two leaders has been evidenced by Mr Hichilema’s silence whenever his co-leader in the pact has come under attack.
Mr Kunda said this at Kinkonge Basic School in Mufumbwe where he is drumming up support for MMD candidate Mulondwe Muzungu in the Mufumbwe parliamentary by-election slated for April 29.
He said there has never been a time that Mr Hichilema, UPND officials and Members of Parliament have come to Mr Sata’s rescue whenever he has had issues to explain. Mr Kunda said Mr Sata and his party officials, too, have never defended Mr Hichilema.
“We have never heard Mr Hichilema and his MPs defend Mr Sata. In fact they feel happy and they even send us text messages encouraging us to continue exposing Mr Sata’s weaknesses,” Mr Kunda said.
The Vice-President, who is also MMD’s national trustee, said the two pact leaders have different agendas and wondered how they would govern the country if elected into office.

He encouraged the people of Mufumbwe constituency to vote for the MMD candidate, saying it is the only party that has a national character.
Mr Kunda said the MMD has nominated MPs from Southern Province where it did not win any parliamentary seats so that it could have a national representation in Cabinet.
He said the MMD is running a Government that believes in peace and tranquility and that the party has a programme for the nation.
Mr Kunda is accompanied by ministers of Works and Supply Mike Mulongoti, Energy and Water Development Kenneth Konga, Sports, Youth and Child Development Kenneth Chipungu, Presidential Affairs Ronald Mukuma and Livestock and Fisheries Development Deputy Minister Albert Mulonga.

Abena george nabena.Where is he getting all this data from ? Maybe he is now the new spokesperson of the pact.:-?
Ok,George Iam sure has inside info.Its true of late these Pact leaders have never issue joint statements nor their party spokemen.Just yesterday Kabimba was announcing the Convention date for PF and NOT the Pact and when Kakoma is speaking,its the views of UPND.Now where has been the Pact of late?
Mo taim Mwaiche wandi,
Tell us when you have ever read this chap called Heahi Heaahi defending is embattled and disgraced husband Sata deep wallowing in his muddy clay?????? Tell us if there has been any solidarity if not always growing conflictual public positions on any contentious issue between the two promiscuous moral harzards.Besides that His Honor VP Kunda is the custodian of tools of power that has a heavy hand in real time results of the AA Cycle. You think he could be blind like Sata, Heahi Heaahi and you handcapped Kaponyas who keep hallucinating on who SC, Mr.Capitalist, Veteran, MMD Chief Bootlicker, The Saint, Patriot and all selfless patriots here? While you struggle with blanks, VP would not take a day to know. The PACT is nothing but a circus club of the naked.
George is so preoccupied with the pact i wonder if he even sleeps well at nite.
The VP is just politicking just to provoke the pact leaders. That is the root is taking in his political missiles.
Who cares if the two Pact leaders are not on speaking terms. This should be the least of the V.P’s concerns! If anything he should be happy!
Mr VP you seem so preoccupied with the PACT…Bushe mulelala ba George? Mr VP please attend to the floods, that’s want we pay you for!! NOT cooking up funny stories about the PACT…..Whether you like it or not, the PACT has come to stay!!! Woooooooooohhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!^:)^^:)^^:)^^:)^^:)^^:)^^:)^^:)^^:)^
We still demand that you expose Mr Sata’s 1950’s jail sentence. Please just campaign for Muzungu to win that area, not campaing for presidential sata sata,,, Is he contesting in Mufumbwe and Milanzi I thought to promised that it ll issue based campaing and not names calling campaing.Mwat Seniaor Citizen. Is it not so? Calling SATA’s name everywher in the country you are just building him( Indirect campaing for him just. wait
Sweet dreams George and don’t forget to top up.
they don’t need to speak, George has become the spokesman
Mr VEEP just concentrate on delivering and working on social issues than worsting time and energy discussing the opposition work on things that will make your party to be re-elected in 2011 and remember this time please NO RIGGING GUYS OR ELSE YOU WILL BRING CIVIL WAR TO MOTHER ZAMBIA FWEBENE WE LIVE IN PEACE .SO WE DONT WANT TO SEE PEACES OF DEAD BODIES MWAUMFWA ZE BIGE BA GEORGE [-(:o
Yup George is their spokesman, they even send him txt messages and updates. Is that all you have Mudala. Why not campaign on your strengths. It seems your campaign is only based on the weakness of your opponents (slander) we don’t here anything about your strengths. So we can only assume that you don’t have anything to stand on yourself (MMD) or else we would hear about it. Please do your own home work Mudala instead of hearsay
Kuya bebele kwaysila
George,we dont pay you to be pact spokesman. Tell us why you deserve another term in office, and not bull about completing projects either. We have heard that song frm chiluba’s days!
Cheap Politics,so what? are Mufumbwe residents going to eat that nonsense even if George’s claims are true.Its a PACT and each party exists independently,thats why they have party spokesperson.Being in Govt can erode reasoning huh![-([-([-(
VETERAN
Seems you just take turns with the other puppies. one goes to the toilet the other takes over posting rubbish, when SENIOR CITIZEN and his civil partner Mr Capitalist are having a good time from nowhere Miss Goody would chip in. No shortage of empty heads.
His Honor VP Kunda should just focus on taking his ARV`s.Campaign 2011 is stressing him out and affecting his mental capacity.

What happened you’ve stopped playing robot, you now using your own head, miracles still happen kanshi.
That is called strategy. Showing that the “Pact” is disorganized is basically telling the electorate to question the wisdom of casting a vote for them. He is not a “pact” spokesman. He is just showing you that your marriage of convenience is a sham. Show that this is not the case – without insults!
This man is a dolt
#18…..try #3 on…for size.
Message to the readership. Senior farter, Veteran, Mwata, etc are all clones of the one and the same schitzophrenic mmd master bootlicker. He is a kwindi at best.

The only strategy that will work is Rigging, since MMD’s only strategy is focusing on the opposition… ( If we can fool the public to think the is a big rift then it is easier to rigg ) We are not stupid… increasing government borrowing my look great in the short term but all you are doing is creating a bubble. Yes borrowing billions from china is great but with no payback strategy its is just a front or indirectly selling country… you are always at the mercy of your debtors.
BA GEORGE PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON HOW YOU ARE GOING TO WIN THE ELECTIONS OTHER THAN TELLING LIES. WHO TOLD YOU OR SENT YOU SMS THAT SATA AND HICHILEMA ARE NOT IN GOOD TERMS? THESE PEOPLE ARE BUSY STRATEGISING ON MANY ISSUES PERTAINING TO THE 2011 ELECTIONS. BY THE WAY WHY ARE YOU BOTHERED. MWENSO ONSE UYO………………………………….
The Pact leaves one with alot of questions, despite being sick kunda might be right. At least Sata’s people know that he’s going to lead,, HH’s people are in the dark,, even what role is playing or going to play in the pact:-?
I dont live in Zambia but am able to tell that this is nonsense. Just a week ago Sata and Hakainde were pictured together conferring each other during the funeral of Dr Gavin Silwamba. Zambians you should learn to read and get to different cheap politics and issues. We dont have such kind of politics here in Canada. No wonder am happy that I dont live in that backward nation with cheap politicians. No one is talking about issues which put food on the plates. I am so happy that I have brought all my family members here so that they are not part of that stupidity going on.
So what exactly is your problem?????
Ruling by lucky,it won’t work ba george do you think that nonsense of the old same gimmick saying of HH and SATA fighting can fool people anymore?
Sorry people need good roads,education and a serious healthcare system of today that everyone in the country must access among other important issues.
You guys are just clearly about accruing benefits to fatten your pockets at the expense of the aleady unmanaging families from where you stole votes and not to serve them.NICHI RED CARD you failers.
Senior Citizen
We know you are jelous of GK as Vice. Former man of god you are have now dioginaze GK with HIV?
Why Does Goerge not talk about Edith or Ken Ngondo??? Why does he need to talk about the PACT disintergrating??? Amano Yaisa, I think he is scared of the PACT and loss of prevaledges and pay he is bound to lose if MMD is booted out of power.
Aha this George is a worse comidian than Bikilion & Difficulti. Worse than his ring master NyamaSoya.
George, this is not your business. Just reconcile RB with Magande and Mpombo.
GK is targetting that minority group which had faith in the pact. He is only repeating what Trevor Simumba said a few weeks ago. By so doing, he is building support for MMD because now that the pact has failed due to greed, the MMD is the logical choice. This is his strategy to woo these minority votes the MMD way. Otherwise, there is nothing new that GK has said here. Everybody can clearly see that UPND are at loggerhead with PF because the time has come to pick a presidential candidate for this pact. We all knew that when the time came, these guys greed would derail progress. It is only logical that HH becomes the candidate because he qualifies, is young and educated. Sata does not have a degree and this is no secret!
Bawishi aba nabo kubufi, awe sure bacilamo.
Let us be clear on one thing . look to me like the vp has too much time on his hands , he need another job
It is a shame that a VP can even utter such useless words, I think he has taken over from the late Teta of talking before he thinks. What is the wife doing, she better start advising him that it is wise sometimes to say nothing. The days of bakwindi who bite and futilisha are numbered, come 2011 exit from Plot 1..
just die iwe..b4 2011 we have a state funeral..
VP why are you always talking about the pact, we want development not ur useless attacks everyday. olo nikuyopa pact. yours days are numbered , VIVA PACT
Ubufi bwa bulaki ba George…so what if Sata abd HH are not talking? Should that be your business? I,m sure your informer is just chewing your bucks since he knows what you wnat to hear exactly. Uluse[-(
Nothing good comes out out GK’s filth mouth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bra George – aren`t you the one who confessed to HH during the burial of Mr Bonshe (MHSRIP) that all your statements lately have just been “political Jokes”.
Get Real!
There could yet be some truth in what GK is saying.
Time will tell.
JUST THE THOUGHT THAT NON-ZAMBIANS MAY ACTUALLY READ THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ME QUIVER.THE WHOLE LOT OF A VICE-PRESIDENT, SECOND IN COMMAND,ATI ‘THEY EVEN SEND US SMS TO TELL US TO CONTINUE….’ YANGU TATA IF WE THINK ITS OK AND NORMAL FOR A LEADER TO SPEAK SUCH PETTY ISSUES WHEN CAMPAIGNING INSTEAD OF ADDRESSING WHAT THEY SHALL DO FOR THE PEOPLE…I’M REALLY AT A LOSS FOR WORDS
#3 Veteran and the rest of you in MMD including G. Kunda, you surprise me. When RB is “attacked” you complain and talk about how your president is attacked and the MMD never attacks anyone but practices issue based politics. Today your Goerge Kunda is indirectly admitting that Sata is attacked and HH doesnt defend him. So guys, which is which. Am confused because, if really Sata is attacked, then whose attacks him? isnt it the MMD governement? Please fill me in on this, incase am getting this all wrong. Stop contradicting yourself to win the coming elections, you will continue loosing votes rather than gaining votes, not everyone who votes in Zambia votes based on how much chibuku they get. There some of us who issues like this into consideration.
George Kunda is full of bu.lls.hiting; he is not fit to be Vice President or Minister of Justice. This all tells Zambians the kind of President RB is — a good-for-nothing kind of leader, with an empty and rusty head.
v p is cnn. why is it that the vp and the president, of late, are preoccupied with the strength of the pack. If they want pipo ‘ s votes they must work all the time including the times when there are no elections.
I don’t know the Lusaka Times agenda. Aka ka newspaper seems to be getting everything from either Daily mail or the times of Zambia. Where are your articles? Can you answer me
I don’t like George but if there is one man who knows the strategy, it’s him. He knows that to weaken the pact, you have to keep hammering at their weak points – which is exactly what he’s doing. And judging by the comments from bloggers, it is having the intended effects. I think bloggers are generally intelligent people and if they can be affected like this, what more Joe Public.
Ba Kunda Ya shani akanwa in other people’s issues? Comment about your very own MMD and what it will do for Zambians. I don’t see this cheap talk putting food on anyones table… except your own!
On ““We have never heard Mr Hichilema and his MPs defend Mr Sata. In fact they feel happy and they even send us text messages encouraging us to continue exposing Mr Sata’s weaknesses,” Mr Kunda said I am very disappointed with Vice President George kunda.
How does a learned man like MP G Kunda expect the mighty UPND Group to defend Mr Sata MC of the PF when PF has a spokesperson who should deal with Mr Sata MC’s problems? Why in all fairness should UPND members start defending what they do not know. Let us be serious MMD and appreciate the HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT you have pushed the opposition to be working in.
Have a blessed day all.

Matt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
Ba Kunda, your fear for the pact to throw you out of office is exposed for youe unfounded sppeches. Wait 2011 is so close!!!!!
Red Lipped Vipper Vs Red Eyed King Cobra. The Drama begins
The vipper has started sinking his fangs and the king cobra is on the run.PACT put your act together otherwise come election time you would have not solved sharing of position when you form government, you do not have a common strategy on how to serve the Zambians because you keep postponing the real issue of how you will govern the government as a united entity. When you wake up MMD and its good damn president will be celebrating victory as you choke in its dust
LAST KICKS OF A DYING HORSE…WE ARE VOTING THEM OUCHI…DONCHI KUBEBA
