SECOND Republican president Fredrick Chiluba yesterday said Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata is panicking that a lot more will be revealed in the investigations of the PF-run councils.
Dr Chiluba told Mr Sata to stop disorienting President Rupiah Banda’s pursuit for a forward-looking empowerment policy by suggesting that the former president was still ruling.
He said the assertions by Mr Sata were unjustified and taking the face of sour grapes in view of the strong relations he enjoyed with the president and the bearing they may have on PF.
Dr Chiluba said in Lusaka President Banda had the right to carry forward policy initiatives that were left incomplete by his administration such as the sale of houses and that all governments were run through a careful and thorough review of previous policies.
Through his spokesperson Emmanuel Mwamba, Dr Chiluba said President Banda had demonstrated his love for the people and urged him to continue, regardless of detractors like Mr Sata who were losing grip on the politics and now wanted to disturb the the Government.
Dr Chiluba was reacting to Mr Sata who was quoted in yesterday’s edition of The Post newspaper that President Banda is a disciple of Dr Chiluba in view of the Itawa Housing Complex in Ndola the president ordered should be sold to sitting tenants.
The house empowerment policy was launched by Dr Chiluba. The former president explained that he was a founder member of the ruling party and what he stood for remains the property of the MMD which President Banda can implement with ease like he is doing.
Dr Chiluba reminded Mr Sata that he was now a sympathiser of the ruling party and would support every effort that promoted the ideals and policies of the ruling party.
He said the home empowerment policy was the initiative of the ruling party that was launched in 1996 to empower Zambians with property of their own and help reduce poverty levels.
Dr Chiluba said the sale of houses for quasi-governmental institutions like the United Bus Company of Zambia (UBZ) and INDECO should be completed because it was the agenda that was set by the MMD Government.
“President Banda is a distinguished leader who can never be swayed by anybody. He is a leader who has welcomed Dr Chiluba and Dr Chiluba feels welcome in the leadership of President Banda. That is what Mr Sata appears to dislike,” Mr Mwamba said.
He challenged Mr Sata to concentrate on reorganising the pact formed by his party and the United Party for National Development which had shown signs of cracking, instead of following the former president’s linkages with other leaders.
Dr Chiluba said President Banda’s Government was at liberty to review previous policies and implement them with undue influence from any leader.

Wait for the POST to jump on this bait!
It’s no wonder that Rupiah today sees everything damn good in the little devil that robbed our poor people of billions of kwacha or millions of dollars to buy designer clothes in Europe and to pay for the services of girlfriends.
The truth is Chiluba (Don Chichi as FTJ is called in Lusaka) is not a factor any more. MMD is trying @ all cost to clip off PF votes on the copperbelt. It wont work. No matter how many mines are openned on the c/belt as long as they are owned by the Chinese & Indians that are paying slave wages, the MMD wont penentrate OUR PACT stronghold. Copper is selling at $7800/ tonne what has been the benefit to workers? when it plumented, the mines quickly closed or retrenched. Now they are making super Profits they have gone quite busy donating to MMD instead of up-ing workers pay
Sata is in a “catch 22” quagmire. This is plunder is his Merzaf version 2. Its no surprise that he is fiercely opposing national infrastruture development of economic roads, hospitals, schools and citizen housing empowerment. Its in selfish interest of this plunder. This is his 90 days PF formular of “More money into every cadre’s pockets” unveiled in 2006.
It is also MMD policy to grab other people’s wives………
Act like former head of state please!! do not involve yourself in politics, when they insult you do not complain……
Thank God more news f the nature above is about to confirm that Mr President is a disciple of Mr former President and MMD president FTJ Chiluba. Mr President RB Banda seems to have followed the precedence by Mr FTJ Chiluba probably due to following the way Mr FTJ Chiluba does things. Mr PF/Sata MC seems to be right on his claim about a disciple for Mr FTJ.
Following “About a week before elections in 1991, I, Maj. Gen. V. B. Banda, received a call from Mr. Michael Sata on my direct line in the office complaining that we were harassing their supporters in the barracks and that when they form Government the following week, I would be fired. I made a verbal report to my Army Commander, Lt. Gen. Francis Sibamba” I am disappointed with Mr PF/Sata MC’s behaviour in the past and now.
This is a party whose leader, Michael Sata, has, since his first Republican presidential election race in 2001, been promising that if elected into power, he would put more miracle money into every PF cadres’ pockets.
Today, Zambians know that the miracle money Mr Sata has been hpledgeing his kaponyas about is extorted public funds from struggling Zambians! I shudder to risk the national treasury with such soulless convicted criminals in PF. Thank God they are life time losers that will never land Governing power under the sun and constitutional election.
#6 Senior Citizen- Only Ichipuba can say Sata is objecting against development. His complaint well based. MMD have developed a habit of trying to woo voters each time there is a by election by way starting project which they later abandon as soon as the election is over. It has happened in Kasama Central. All the promised nonsense came to nil.FTJs assertion that PF councils are guilty of misdirecting finances is just a ploy. When MMD was in charge of Solwezi it came to light that the council had misused K50BN land rates paid by Kansanshi Mines, why didnt FTJ talk about?
This is what Mr Sata meant when he declared after the 2006 presidential electoral defeat that his party would plunder the councils’s resources to the bone.
Following his humiliating defeat in 2006 to a bed ridden sick Mwanawasa, Mr Sata sought to save face by declaring that despite losing the presidential race to incumbent Levy Mwanawasa, the PF’s victory was in getting the majority of local government seats which they would be responsible for their fate. Today PF has only delivered plundered accounting books to the alarm of state security who are to persue them.If arrested or personal properties seized in recovery of this plunder, the PF will have no one to blame but their plunder.
Certainly Sata has many political obstacles to negotiate.He is up against intellectuals in MMD. Iam talking about those who can use applied politics.By applied politics I mean fruitful politics not the imaginary land of plenty which Sata promises and which only fools will believe……The presidency is keeping drifting away……..
In his characteristic bravado, Sata claimed that despite failing to wrest the presidency from Mwanawasa, he had gained control of the management of local government and, with that, the PF would prove within 90 days at local level what it could demonstrate on the national front if handed the Republican presidency.
It has been more than 40 months since the Sata declaration was made and if the performance of PF-controlled councils is to be the basis of deciding who should be in State House in 2011, Zambian people will have no difficulties making their choice.
Mr Sata’s 2006 declaration has since not been recanted, and what every Zambians still believes is that the PF is running most of the councils in the country.
Running councils is one thing, running them effectively is quite another, and running them scandalously is simply unforgivable and a self-inflicted electoral defeat.
The above quote and some following ones are from Zambianwatch d o g.
This quote just amplifiers his PF campaign message where he uses slogans like Sisala out and not powercuts by ZESCO.
Leading a Nation and Country is not a joke but serious business which calls for being in full control of one’s mental faculties.
Anyway, I now understand what Mr PF/Sata MC meant when he remarked that Mr President RB Banda is a disciple for Mr former President FTJ Chiluba. Mr FTJ Chiluba seems to have usurped MMD National Chairman and MMD president offices in the behaviour shown above in comments. I pity MMD’s Mabenga while I respect MMD National Secretary Kaka’s position on matters affecting the crumbling party. Hats off to late LPM who did allow Mr FTJ to be ruling MMD covertly.

# 13 Josef P,
I’m glad you understand “applied politics” by every evidence alien to theoretical PF kaponya politics. PF kaponya politics is dry and anachronistic in trajectory.
Following some report in today’s Times of Zambia Newspaper where “Dr Kalumba said in a statement yesterday it was unbecoming for Mr Hichilema to lose every gain of political decency that many cultured Zambians assumed he had acquired as a professional and drop down to piggish runts of political debate.…“MMD wishes to counsel Mr Hakainde Hichilema to at least make an effort towards civilised political conduct and language,” Dr Kalumba said” I would like to give MMD National Secretary Kaka a pat on his back for using good language but express disapointment at the insulting words that the editors at that Executive wing of Government controlled print media.
I just hope Dr Kaka will advise his MMD acting president to stop abusing his old age to undermine younger us…
A Rat loughs at a Cat when it knows that there is a hole near by. In Mwanawasa time chiluba was frequently in South African with heart problem and spoke nothing but walked with head down. May be its because “Bembas say makunkutu talanda icho bamu putwile amaboko”. Today he is the spokes person for RB. This Congolese is a plunderer. Pompwe and Lazo
Report exposes misapplication of funds in PF-run councils
THE preliminary financial reports on the Patriotic Front-run councils have revealed massive misdirection of funds with Lusaka City Council using K42 billion on personal emoluments and administrative costs leaving only about K17.7 billion on service delivery in the financial year ending 2009.
In the two-year period between 2008 and December 2009, the council raised a total of K124 billion but only K27 billion was used in providing services while the rest was used for personal emoluments and administrative expenses.
This represents 15 per cent on service provision of the total amount while 85 per cent was used for personal emoluments and administrative costs in the two-year period.
The council collected K14,278,819,000 from rates in 2008 and K14,055,171,000 in 2009 but the total income, including other services amounted to K64,400,503,000 in 2008 and K59,647,502,000 in 2009.
The transition into percentages for the two years shows that 44 per cent of the funds were spent on personal emoluments while administrative costs gobbled 34 per cent, leaving only 22 per cent for service provision.
Local Government and Housing Deputy Minister Moses Muteteka said a process had been started by a special team of experts to identify specific individuals who might have abused resources for onward reporting to the security wings.
The report says the council faced the challenge of irregular payments from levies, and Government grants as well as unaccounted for grants.There was also reduced expenditure on service delivery instead of the 40 per cent of the total budget as directed by the Ministry of Local Government and Housing. Ndola City Council had a total income of K21,652,772,000 in 2008 in grants from the Government, land rates and levies while the figure went up to K29,725,246,177 in 2009.
Of this amount, only 21 per cent was spent on service provision while a total of 77 per cent went to recurrent expenditure and only two per cent was used for infrastructure development.
The report states that the council overspent by about K5,495,015,960 without preparing a supplementary expenditure. There was also non-availability of title deeds for council properties and non maintenance of ledgers.
There was no preparation of certificate of completion for projects while the format for the receipts did not meet standards.
When ka Chiluba makes a comment, then you see the thousands of comments of “senior citizen” on this site. Very sad indeed that ka Chiluba cannot stay quiet and enjoy his stolen money! And among his disciples (senior citizen) wake up and also decide willingly to be blind and glorify ka Chiluba and MMD. very very very sad indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other irregularities included under-banking, irregular payments, failure to update stock ledgers and poor management of imprest apart from failure to remit withholding tax to the Zambia Revenue Authority.
Kitwe City Council only spent K4,488 billion representing 13 per cent on service provision and infrastructure of the total K35.5 billion in 2009 while only 29 per cent of K62,630,000,000 which was income for the two years was spent on service provision.
The council generally failed to maintain ledgers and also failed to manage imprest effectively.
Chingola Municipal Council only spent two per cent on service provision in 2008 while 45 per cent of the total revenue was utilised as employee-related costs and also failed to prepare final books of accounts. About 53 per cent went to admin-istrative costs.

TO lead a people one has to know them.
And it seems Rupiah Banda does not know the type of people he is leading. Rupiah doesn’t realise that today’s Zambia is very different from the Malawi of Kamuzu Banda. Kamuzu ruled Malawi through intimidation, harassment and sometimes even naked brutality.
No one dared to question what he did. Once, Kamuzu remarked that “those who oppose us do meet with accidents†in response to the death of a prominent political opponent who had perished in a road accident.
Like Kamuzu, Rupiah is forgetting that those who are evil also do meet disastrous ends; those who rely on brutality to keep themselves in power are bound to come to grief at one point or another. This is why it is also said that the mark of great leaders is the…
Why don’t they talk about MMD run councils? This is all a plan to frame the PF and make them look bad. FTJ is an **s who is now talking to keep him and his wife out of prison. Is paying personal emoluments theft? Senior Citizen, look at the budgetary allocations and you will see you have no point.
RB will go down like FTJ. I dont even know any interllectuals in MMD aprt from Mutati who is not even a politician
This is a different breed of Zambians that will not be silenced into submission. Free speech and other democratic practices are starting to take root in the lives and hearts of our people. This is not because of people like Rupiah and his corrupt, crooked and thieving friend Frederick Chiluba. It is despite their attempts to silence everyone who opposes them, including the free press. Who doesn’t know what Chiluba did to those he thought were a threat to his hold on power? Kenneth Kaunda, Rodger Chongwe and many others who did not submit to Chiluba’s corrupt ways are today very lucky to be among the living.
Six months after Kamuzu came to power, all hell broke loose. Some of his closest compatriots had to flee at short notice and take refuge in neighbouring countries like…
ka chiluba,senior citizen,mwata,nimbushi sana.iwe ka chiluba who can listen to you,only mwata nechipuba chi shitizen
The people around Rupiah are not helping him. They are reinforcing Rupiah’s propensity towards intimidation and victimisation of his opponents. The likes of George Kunda, Lameck Mangani, Ronnie Shikapwasha and William Banda are moulding Rupiah into a type of Kamuzu. If you disagree with Rupiah, you are in danger; you are a devil.
But it would be wrong to say that Rupiah is behaving in the way that he is because of the people around him. Rupiah is a grown man who makes his own choices. And he has made it very clear that he does not tolerate dissenting views. Anybody who dissents is punished. This is Rupiah’s mode of operation.
The other day when he addressed a press conference on the Copperbelt, he decided to shamelessly, blatantly and brazenly intimidate all those who…
Shut your little sick mouth Kafupi.You have no intergrity,only fools will listen tio you,we kawelewele
The civil servants’ role is meant to implement government decisions generally and presidential orders specifically, just as they are given, whether one agrees with them or not. Unfortunately that is how life is. If you are given a directive and you are the employee of government and don’t fulfil, you will be removed. It doesn’t matter what political party you come from and those leaders who are telling you to oppose will not be there to give you a job. You will just make your family suffer.†This is what Rupiah said in Kitwe this week.
Rupiah was telling public officers that they should obey every instruction that he gives them or risk being fired. By saying what he said, Rupiah is forgetting one simple but very fundamental prerequisite to obeying any…
We should not forget that since Rupiah came to power, there have been so many scandals that if the civil servants and other public officers are obeying him in all his wishes, they may end up in trouble themselves. Soon after coming to power, there was the Selex radar controversy at the airport which was associated with Rupiah’s family.
There is also the RP Capital and Zamtel privatisation controversy which is linked to his family as well. These are not the only controversial procurements that seem to interest Rupiah. It is now beyond question that Rupiah has been pushing for the acquisition of the impractical mobile hospitals at exorbitant prices. What about the boreholes that they want to sink at K40 million per borehole? The list seems endless. The procurement of oil is…
Of course Mr. Sata is panicking. He promised 90 days when the councils run by the PF are misappropriating funds. 44 percent going to personal emoluments whilst 22 percent goes to service provision. It is also ironic that Mr. Sata can promise low taxes when property rates at PF run councils are at all time highs.
He is panicking because he knows what his councils have been doing is coming out. He also knows there is very little he can discredit President Rupiah Banda’s govt on the economy. The more he panics, the more venomous he becomes. Even his supporters are becoming venomous. Just listen to the way the genocidal maniac Kalos2020 writes his rubbish all over LT. Listen to how the other venomous blogger Msana Wanzili wishes death on leaders. This is panicking indeed.
There is no logic in some blogger’s contributions on this thread. ‘Call a spade a spade’:
1. Chiluba has stolen from the poorest Zambian people until proved otherwise
2. Sata has a good track record of hardworking and we all know this (why GRZ/RB are persecuting him, we do not know).
3. RB is acting unintelligently in the handling of the Zambian economy as well as in the privatisation of key state enterprises like ZAMTEL.
4. The so called investment in areas like mining is mainly benefiting investors (international) and not the local populace and this need to be overhauled. The 5 year tax rebate given to investors is total nonsense as these monies (profits) are never used on Zambian projects. It is equally nonsensical to appoint practising medical doctors to PS position(s).
If only LPM was still alive!:-?
If there is one person who should panic, its Chiluba. His dear freedom depends on licking some arse. Lose or win 2011 Sata, will have nothing to worry about apart from the money spent on Elections. But for FTJ, its only a win by RB that will relese him from Mukobeko Gallows.
The other day when he addressed a press conference on the Copperbelt, he decided to shamelessly, blatantly and brazenly intimidate all those who work with him. His words were not the words of a democrat. What he said was not consistent with what obtains in a democratic country governed in accordance with the rule of law.
Rupiah should not accuse us of distorting what he said. He is what he said with his own mouth: “Let me warn that government officers no matter how senior they may be, they do not have the authority to challenge my directive.
The civil servants’ role is meant to implement government decisions generally and presidential orders specifically, just as they are given, whether one agrees with them or not. Unfortunately that is how life is. If you are given a directive…
Rupiah was telling public officers that they should obey every instruction that he gives them or risk being fired. By saying what he said, Rupiah is forgetting one simple but very fundamental prerequisite to obeying any instruction, that is, such an instruction should in all circumstances be lawful. This is probably what Rupiah is grappling with. He expects people to obey him even when his instructions raise legal problems.
We say this because in the time that Rupiah has been President, so many things have happened which have put pressure on public officials. Rupiah has wanted to ensure that things are done which are not always straightforward. This seems to be the reason he is now resorting to threats. To him, professional advice from civil servants and other public officers is…
There is also the RP Capital and Zamtel privatisation controversy which is linked to his family as well. These are not the only controversial procurements that seem to interest Rupiah. It is now beyond question that Rupiah has been pushing for the acquisition of the impractical mobile hospitals at exorbitant prices. What about the boreholes that they want to sink at K40 million per borehole? The list seems endless. The procurement of oil is another area where rotten things have been going on. Rupiah’s government tried to collude with one of the bidders. They only changed direction after they were exposed.
No one is obliged to obey directives that are unlawful and those who do should know that they are doing it at their own peril. People who like giving directives that they know to be…
The civil service exists to translate the policies of government into lawful activities. But if directives are of an operational nature and not founded in law, then the technocrats, the civil servants and other public officers are going to have difficulties implementing them.
Rupiah’s threat to the public servants and his demand that his directives must be followed has raised a fundamental question: how is Rupiah running government? What are these directives that he is giving that are not being followed that he is now annoyed and resorting to threats? We say this because the function of the president is not supposed to be the micro-managing of every detail, of every contract or tender – he shouldn’t be a tenderprenuer.
Rupiah’s rantings on the Copperbelt gave the impression…
This is truly the incarnation of the devil himself. He called us devils for simply pointing out the shortcomings of his management style of our national affairs but his actions and threats are showing us who the true devil is. Or if not, who has befriended the devil. It’s no wonder that Rupiah today sees everything damn good in the little devil that robbed our poor people of billions of kwacha or millions of dollars to buy designer clothes in Europe and to pay for the services of girlfriends.
All in all, it can be said that Rupiah has problems respecting the law and its dictates. To him being President has placed him above the law. He has deluded himself into believing that he is omnipotent and that his orders are law itself and should be obeyed. But we are reminded that “a group…
If Rupiah wants to lead well and aspire to any form of greatness, he needs to learn to do the simple things of life that constitute goodness. Respect for the law is one of them. Telling the truth and listening to the people that he leads whether he likes them or thinks they are devils may just help him. Rupiah must stop his threats. And those working with him must tell him that you cannot govern by threats and intimidation. Praising thieves will do him no good.
Ba chiluba please Just eat and enjoy your stolen wife silently. You are a shame to the unholly Zambian pentecostal pastors who invite you to their churches with a stolen wife. SHAME ON YOU !
The big question is, WHY HAS MMD FAILED TO IMPLEMENT THE DECENTRALISATION POLICY??
Those close to MMD know that their fear is that Councils will perfome better, especially the City and Municipal Councils which are under the opposition, and that would be a threat to the survival of MMD. This is the perception of those in MMD, its sad to have such shallow minded leaders that can hold back the development of the nation for their own benefit at the expense of the masses.
Finally, are the MMD controlled Councils doing better than those under the opposition?
Can MMD tell us why Councils they control e.g. Kaoma in Western Province, Milenge in Luapula and Isoka have had misappropriation cases (not misapplication)??
Kafupi, you stole more than what is allegedly being mis applied in the PF controlled councils. To be fair let your friend RB also reveal how the MMD controlled councils have been doing. It is Kafupi who is panicking because his happiness depends on RB being in office. Come what may, MMD is going!!!
“last kicks of a dying horse” Do not even fool yourselves thatb you are campaigning for RB by using Dr. Chiluba whose moral standing in society is highly questionable. Let him face the people of Luapula and you see his condition will become worrysome again( bakamwita ati LAZO ninshi chapwa umutima walubana) more tax payer’s money will be spent on his evacuation.
Sata was at the forfront of FJTs 3rd term campain. When PLM was harrassing FJT sata is even on record as saying FJT would have been enjoying a luxury retirement if he was president. 2day he comes out and recongnises that FJT is a thief. Cheap politics. He is a man who spends his time harrangouing MMD and promising 90 days development with no specifics while his councils, which according to some are 90 % all councils in the country, spend almost nothing on service delivery. How can any sensible person, tribalisim aside, vote for him ??

On Thursday 15 February a high court judge in London will rule whether so-called vulture fund can extract more than $40m from Zambia for a debt which it bought for less than $4m.
There are concerns that such funds are wiping out the benefits which international debt relief was supposed to bring to poor countries.
Martin Kalunga-Banda, a Zambian consultant to Oxfam told Newsnight, “That $40m is equal to the value of all the debt…
The vulture funds have teams of lawyers combing the world for assets which can be seized to settle their claims. There have also been claims of dubious tactics.
Back in Britain the Zambian case has seen much legal discussion about allegations of bribery. The Zambian legal team – led by William Blair QC – Tony Blair’s brother, has argued that a $2m bribe was offered to the former Zambian President to make it easier for the vulture funds to claim their money.
They showed the court an email disclosed in the Zambia case saying that a payment to the “President’s favourite charity” had allowed them to do a more favourable deal.

DELETED AFTER FIVE COMPLAINTS
Everyone, including FTJ, should stop talking about cycle mata because he is a vanguished foe….Sata will never rule Zambia, Period!
Zambia does not need an uneducated old man. Satana is a bad leader….look at his background. What track record is there to talk about. He is an enemy of democracy. His party has known no convetion to elect leader. He undemocratically cut out the MPs who supported the NCC. He almost single-handedly championed FTJ’s 3rd term bid. And he was caught with dirty money at SA’s ORT airport.
Wake up fellow Zambians. Abash Sata!!!
#59. Peter says, be careful or you will burst a gut!… Time will catch up with the little fella very soon. Do not worry…
I agree with comment no.1. Chiluba should not be the one to rejoice on other peoples misfortunes as he is a thief himself the london judgement is there to show. The people of zambia are poor to day because he stole all the money in order to look good. Plse shut up and do not speak or campaign for any one as you are only going to make matters worse for that individual. RB is capable for doing things for himself. Unless chiluba is going to bring back some of the stolen money.
Kafupi has forgotton his stupid plan to sell council houses removed the revenue they had to maintain Zambia. For example, The council in Britain uses council rentals to clean the roads, paint houses, employ people, fix light, drainages etc. Have you ever wondered why Zambia became dirty and disorganised …after his council house selling tactic? Well his little fingers make moves that are motivated to gain popularity… than improving Zambia long term. I am an independent all I can say Rupiah is getting the wrong advise if he is asking Chiluba for wisdom. Kafupi was not a damn good president. He messed up Z health, education and council infrastructure. Did I forget oversold industries in every province with not enough shares for Zambians. Do you call that empowerment of the local people?
Has the campaign period been officially launched. If not, we are wasting valuable time as a nation. You cant be campaigning for over a year, as though we have primary and secondary elections before the 2011 elections.
This is an MMD campaign website
The only thing Kafupi did that was good… was verbally declaring Zambia a Christian nation. Unfortunately, his actions conflicted with Christian values when he was president.
Unless some one tells me that from 1996 this chap didnt know that some tenants had not been given a green light to purchase houses. Who sold the houses and when did PF come into existence? So who withheld the title deeds from 1997 to 2001? Is is Sata or the same chap with the heart disease? Chiluba must be a fool. I think abepi, fyonse fipi.
i don;t believe but I know that both Chiluba and Sata are reascals; none of them is any better than the other. But between the two of them, I think Chiluba should SHUT UP! Tell us what you did together that amounst to spilling the beans. KUZA, NJANANA!
FJT Chiluba is a S’TU’PI’D ID’I’O’T and a BIG shameless THIEF who can only be trusted by his disciple, the dementia President Rupiah B Banda.
When is the PACT going to be launched?
FTJ a shameless thief! RB you have killed MMD for sure. Associating yourself with this little CROOK!!
Reading through the comments on various articles, I note a very sad trend from those supporting PF. Their language is vile, their manner crass and their demeanour appalling, almost without excetion. What is it with you people, you can’t argue intelligently but just rush to insults. Grow up. Is this from reading Post editorials? I shudder to think these empty tins in governement. Otherwise show me your class by debating intelligently

THE MMD says it welcomes support from some Patriotic Front (PF) members of Parliament and chiefs who intend to campaign for President Banda.
MMD national chairman Michael Mabenga said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that the MMD will not refuse to be supported by outsiders.
He was reacting to a story published in yesterday’s The Post newspaper in which a letter has been issued to all chiefs in Luapula Province to attend a consultative meeting which will be opened by former President Frederick Chiluba.
Mr Mabenga said the MMD is happy to have the support of traditional leaders and some MPs from the opposition.
“If we have well-wishers, why should we refuse their support? If we have support from PF and chiefs, we are happy. HAVE THE CAMPAIGNS STARTED YET ?
Some this week, I heard H.H and Sata complain that the MMD are using the Road projects as a campaign tool, what a word tto come from the likes of him. Every other time he is talking about taking development to the rural Zambia when the pact comes to power, The MMD Govt. does it now and its an issue that upsets the pact. Campaign or not we must this nation at heart. There will never be another Zambia. Politicians don’t confuse us please!
