GOVERNMENT will deal with opposition political parties intent on destabilising peace and unity ahead of the 2011 general elections, Vice-President George Kunda has warned.
And Mr Kunda has said the political alliance between the Patriotic Front (PF) and the United Party for National Development (UPND) is a “pact of total darkness and violence.”
Speaking when he addressed hundreds of Mansa residents who turned up to welcome him at Mansa airport in Luapula Province yesterday, Mr Kunda said government will not allow violence in the country especially that which leads to loss of lives and property.
“We have seen what violence has done to other nations globally, especially, when lives are lost and I am warning those destabilising the peace and unity of the country that government will deal with them in order to protect the lives of our people,” Mr Kunda said.
The Vice-President said the violence in the run-up to the Mufumbwe parliamentary by-election recently should not be repeated as the country approaches general elections.
Mr Kunda wondered why the opposition is proud of the ‘Mapatizya formula’ which is associated with violence.
“This so-called Mapatizya formula is a violent system which if not checked can lead to loss of lives. The international community gets concerned when lives of people are lost through violence in the country,” Mr Kunda said.
The Vice-President also said government will continue to consult former President Frederick Chiluba on many national issues affecting the country.
He said the MMD government will not be embarrassed by consulting the former Head of State because having served as Republican President, President Chiluba has a lot of wisdom.
Mr Kunda wondered why the opposition should politicise the invitation of Dr Chiluba by the organising committee of a provincial consultative forum which opened yesterday and is being attended by Luapula Province traditional leaders.
“Dr Chiluba’s presence at the provincial consultative forum has sent shivers in the opposition,” Mr Kunda said.
He said government will also continue to partner with traditional leaders for the development of the country.
He said chiefs play a key role in the development of the country hence the need for government and the traditional leaders to work together.
Mr Kunda said Luapula Province has a lot of economic potential in tourism, mining and agriculture.
He commended Luapula Province members of Parliament for organising the consultative forum with traditional chiefs.
Speaking earlier, Luapula Province Minister Boniface Kawimbe said Government has continued to address the many challenges that the people in the province face.
Dr Kawimbe said a number of developmental projects are being implemented for the benefit of the people.
These include the Samfya District Hospital and school projects in Milenge district.
[Zambia Daily Mail]
Opposition parties risk entering 2011 elections headless if they continue doing the frastrated, visionless and disillusioned violent politics of PACT tribal leaders.
What a government!!!!!! Consulting a THIEF on national issues.
“We the People” would like to see the London judgment registered in Zambia so that we recover our money from the BIG THIEF Frederick Titus Mpundu Jacob Chiluba, the former President of the Republic of Zambia.
MMD as a party can continue consulting him, but remember that the first President, Dr KD Kaunda had his benefits curtailed for engaging in active politics and that was orchestrated by the same THIEF, abena FTJ.
Ka Kunda , you curtail the activities being perpetuated by William “T” Banda and his MMD cadres. Zambians havent forgotten William Banda`s nick-name during the UNIP era. Of course if there thugs involved in violence activities in the opposition , the Law must take its course
Patriot #1 you are fool and you such a useless chap!!
Guys, mwe baku Zambia, please get rid of these dull politicians, please!! FtJ is a thief, hence that makes that ugly current leader a thief! DONT listen to ka Kunda!! He will die soon!
This foul mouthed fool will get his cummapence soon.
Patriot
Dont you have a tribal? Do your MMD leader have a tribae. Did you hear Vice-President said government will continue to consult former President Frederick Chiluba on many national issues affecting the country, such as stealing and grabbing some pipo’s wife. what a shame. 2005 I met yourVice-President in London when he went to present Zambian pipo over FTJ Criminology. Today he is fooling you that CHILUBA Govt consultant. Hypoc
Maybe if MMD stops trying to rig elections people will calm down, what do you expect people to do? Welcome UNIP version 2.0 for another 27 years? Nikisi bane…
#4 attack the issue not the person
Ba #1 how could u surely call PACT, a small boy in the eyes of MMD a trouble maker? Its evident in Zed who favours violence…logic, the powerful one (at least where govt. machinery is concerned!)…Ba Kunda is very aware…what is sad really is seeing these educated men and women become extremely silly, how does one consult ka chiluba sure?? I mean, the fact that MMD leaders cant see (they do see…) HOW UNPOPULAR CHILUBA IS IN ZED THE PAST 12 YRS OR SO just goes to show how far they are from the PEOPLE, we the true stakeholders in Zed. YA it really feels like UNIP just before the storm…where you can see how people basically hate you and yet you totally ignore the fact…it is true, desperate men do desperate things…Patrick is turning in his grave..
This is Rubbish!!!
Ba Kunda wesu, bafyafe tabalanda sana! This is a guy who will no sooner die than be forgotten. Just wait, when shikii starts again, no amount of medicine will stop it!!!!!
mmd cadres have become the new paramilitary police and ka william banda the new chief of police!What a democracy we have in Zambia.Who is in-charge of home security in Zambia?What are they doing about this open declaration of threats and violence on citizens?I think RB is tending to slowly move the nation towared anarchy! Before we realised it, Zambia will be another Rwanda. This ka banda threatens to rape woman in the press, threatens to assault a priest and ba Kunda, a person who was championing the case of ftj kabwalala, is now a consulting ftj on good governance!
Zambia has become very polarized under RB than ever before.RB managed to put the nation in such a position due to his deliberate promotion of corruption, allowing cadres to control national security, neglecting the nation…
So the Hon VP , the main man who represented the govt in the London high court regarding the FTJ case , is now coming out with this stance ? He may be a man of high education but certainly not of high principals. A principled individual in a position of top leadership as this would find it very difficult to operate with such open duplicity . We , as Zambians should not allow this lack of morals in our leaders. It’s not right and i hope people will not put up with this sort of standard .
I was just talking to that friend of mine here is the US who has a twelve year old kindergartner who is good at typing. He said he was going to dictate to his son, the name you see as Pariots and sometimes Capitalist. When read about these two postings, do not pay attention to them because this a kids being used by the Dad. The Dad is apparently doing an associate degree in business and it has taken him twelve years to finish a two year program. Frustrating !
Caradon and your point being? lets not worry about personalities, just put your argument across, in any case no one takes anyone seriously, for example people lie here, and end up being caught in their own lies, so ku blogger fye bane.
Kunda should focus on his health and leave the Sata and HH alone. Act like a professsional or are the ARVs getting to your brain. Focus and let your mmd move forward.
caradon,
An associate degree when the highest level of degree any high institution of learning was just conferred on me in December 2009. You must be sick and trapped in life.
caradon,
An associate degree when the highest level of degree any high institution of learning can offer was just conferred on me in December 2009. You must be sick and trapped in life.
No. 18 Highest degree in what? shetology..lol. I’m afraid the way you articulate issues does not sound like an educated man.. very backward thinking. Show your child what you blog here and he/she will be very disappointed in you.
Mr. Kunda Listen! S.E.X is nice, very sweet.. you make those funny sounds and cry sometimes but when you contract akashishi.. the mind is so troubled that you begin to allucinate…lol
Shame VP..Can’t even threaten a fly what are you going to do. Time to tire pa and rest- you look very unwell. Retire with some dignity please.
Ka Kunda your days are numbered. You should just concentrate on drinking your many pills becoz that illness has no time for politics.
So here it is then: talking “development” = political campaigning… hence the Luapula meeting with Chiluba and the 13 copperbelt chiefs with RB. Luapula was compromised when Kazembe and the DRC governor met with RB. I for one feel we are in a heap of trouble – MMD might very likely go through next year, yes. But will that really be the will of the people? Dueces all the same, bane:)>-:)>-
and i quote “government will also continue to partner with traditional leaders”
Did some one say this guy is a lawyer?
GK will be dead long before 2011. He just like Chiluba is living on bollowed time, stressing himself. The Change starts with you, and how many people do you think MMD has. You need to as an individual resolve that enough is enough and you shall not allow thieve s to go scot free. Let’s have the Change we need come 2011
The question we should be asking yourself is whether you can honestly allow a thief to come into your house and steal your valuables. Would you allow the same to happen when the second time a thief comes you will have a gun in your hand and are in position to defend them. We’ve a Gun to KILL the THIEVES next year and PUT and END to this FOOLISH ROT
# 17Patriot- Just shows how shallow you are!!! Your degree is yours and no need to publish it
Patriot.
You and your duo of illiterates are a joke.
MWATA
SENIOR CITIZEN
These two cant even spell most common English words yet claim they have degrees.
Much like you Patriot.
A Degree dreamer who thinks he is smarter than others.
A Degree does not give you wisdom.
A Degree does not mean you are right.
What is so special about luapula. Let kafupi do what he wants, at least luapula people reveived brown envops from, these filthy MMD hooligans we call our leaders and the beloved thief son of luapula people..RB will be shocked, these pipo are un reliable and their vote unguaranteed..The battle in Luapula is sata vs Narep. MMD is losing ground a
George we listened to you in London.
Cant you STANDUP and say the same now your home all safe and sound?
You Foul and Filthy sinner.
AIDS carrier.
Hehehehehehe #31, This man sounds like a future unemployee, if there is such. I hear him rant, now that you said it, I understand, can’t believe a brilliant lawyer like him is always out-of-depth. MMD is preparing for opposition politics.
Ba Kunda with your red lips, who are you cheating? No wonder Levy could not give you the vice presidency and you have now betrayed him ,what a shame you are. Since when did thieves become consultants? That is why even walking is a problem for the red lipped lizard. The sickness must be getting into his head. It is a pity how MMD can turn such a brilliant lawyer to a political cadre. Ba Kunda you embarrassing the law fraternity.
ako kayamba nikale ku bwatabwata:-@. Mukazi tekanya please Kunda….iye8->
S.T.U.P.I.D Kunda, you met your match in Mufumbwe and were thoroughly beated both at ballot and physically! Now you are crying foul even trying to petition results. SHAME SHEMUNA
choka apa naka doyo kako iwe!!!!!%-(%-(%-(%-(%-(%-(%-(%-(%-(%-(
“He said the MMD government will not be embarrassed by consulting the former Head of State because having served as Republican President, President Chiluba has a lot of wisdom”.
Which wisdom kunda????????? wisdom to steal????????? pls spare us wth yo greedness
but zoona mwema bloggers mulalanda!bushe GK ngalibelengele ifi fyonse teti ayayikulika fye?
anyway the man isnt thinking straight….how can you consult a ka-midget whose crimes you personaly went to fight against in London some years back????come on GK,you are smarter than that, RB is just using you, please resign and take some rest.we dont want what happened to Teta to happen again.
GK, good. Start with your own house the MMD, though. There is man called William Banda, an appointed Lusaka Province MMD Chairperson who is on the loose. If you are not careful, he will cost you your jobs. He is not making MMD popular at all. Remember, how UNIP vigilantes went on the loose in the last days – led by the same person. Now he is at it with you. By the time you realise, it will be too late and you will be on your way to Ndola, and in the opposition. Or are you also scared of William Banda? Remember, at one public gathering he told RB that some of his ministers were stabbing him in the back. The guy has all of you ministers under his surveillance. You should be more worried of the enemy within before you even think of other parties. Just a brotherly warning!

Why not say AHYONE perpetrating violence will be dealt with including the MMD? So it was too much to ask for, this moron is still alive after all? Twapapata mweba geta, mugeteleleni….
this m.o.r.o.n.
MEANT ANYONE THERE!:d/
very handsome man GK. awe nga nali mwanakashi
kunda, are you sure you cheap psychologist? foolish!!!!
This guy, holding two high position, minister of Legal Affairs and VP, can’t afford two or more coats? This is the same coat he was wearing on his return trip from RSA. Wa’d up, Mr.VP?
UBUTUTU MULEKE!
#18, what institution was it? Hahhahahahaaaaaa! It must have been extremely desperate to confer a degree on somebody, seriously. You just happened to be the one to save the institution’s face. Much like KK, Levy and Chiluba. Surprise, Surprise!
UBUTUTU MULEKE!
The coversation can’t proceed as normal if there are individuals that are instigating violence. I expect leaders worth their salt to outrightly condemn and disassociate themselves from such among their numbers.RB should come out strong and preserve our peace.Who the hell is any individual that should even suggest that on their account this beloved country must be shedding blood.I request RB to be very firm and tame these headless chickens.Where as I agree that there are a lot of things that need to be corrrected, I do not think anarchy and violence is the way to go.Untill we realise that country is more important than individuals, we shall go round circles and never arrive. I will never argue for leaders who think I must pay with my life to get them to leadership. Iyai. RB apply the law.
