The United Party for National Development (UPND) says the failure to tackle corruption by the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) government will cost the country, citing the suspension of funding to the Ministry of Health by the Global Fund.
Siavonga Member of Parliament, Douglas Siakalima says the freeze in funding to the health sector by the Global Fund is dangerous for the people of Zambia for which the MMD government will have to take the blame.
He said though the Global Fund has indicated its intentions to resume funding to the Ministry of Health in the next two months, the effects of the freeze on the health sector are devastating.
Mr Siakalima added that this acts as a reminder to the people of Zambia to vote out the MMD government in which corruption is endemic.
And Katombora Member of Parliament, Regina Musokotwane has observed that as long as government does not put its foot down and stamp out corruption in the country, the people’s suffering will never come to an end.

MMD vows to crush pact in 2011
“We shall defeat the PF-UPND pact in next year’s elections because our works are there to show; we are a party with national character and anchored at fostering national development. The opposition is just pre-occupied with insults which is of little benefit to the Zambian people,”
“We are more organised, it is a well known fact that President Rupiah Banda is our candidate and we are ready for the so called pact to meet them head on in next year’s general elections. In fact the mass defections of their members to our party is testimony to the confusion in the pact,” while the opposition was pre-occupied with insulting President Banda and his leadership, the MMD was busy undertaking development projects countrywide for the well being of the Zambian people.
Global Commodity Market Institute country director Mwango Chisha has said Mr Sata’s assertions that he will expel Zambia-based Chinese workers and low class investment is a dream because he will never be president of Zambia. Mr Chisha said Mr Sata was dreaming that he would change things because he would never be president of the country.
“The rate at which politics is moving, Mr Sata will never be president of Zambia because of a simple reason that he was not born a leader, and nothing can make him become a leader,” Mr Chisha said.He questioned why the PF leader had so much hatred for the Chinese investors when they were globally accepted.
Look at these MMD cadres ignorant of their demise. Look at how poverty stricken they are not knowing why they are wallowing in poverty, BAD GOVERNANCE BY S.T.U.P.D MMD
Iwe Mwata aka senior citizen/veteran are those insults by Syakalima? Am told you have changed the law now that insulting airborne elderly tourists masquerading as leaders is pornography
i think its of no use to start insulting and pointing fingers at each other, lets wait and see what the future holds for zambia next year. if its the will of the zambian people to allow the current govt in power it will be so but if they say no then its just going to be like that….weather its mmd or pf-upnd.
lets try to behave like mature people this is not colonial eer
The MMD’s claims of fighting corruption is one big joke! They have dismissed Wandi from the ACC in order to protect crooks like FRA’s Mwanaumo. How can we end corruption like this? No wonder the donors are withdrawing their aid. I call upon all donars to withdraw their aid from the FRA as well. No need to throw good money after bad!!
On “Mr Siakalima added that this acts as a reminder to the people of Zambia to vote out the MMD government in which corruption is endemic… And Katombora Member of Parliament, Regina Musokotwane has observed that as long as government does not put its foot down and stamp out corruption in the country, the people’s suffering will never come to an end.
[UPND],” it is gratifying to note that LT is now quoting UPND News source, wherever it is based and I therefore ask the UPND to talk more on how they will campaign vigorously for Presidential Candidate HH.
On “FODEP information officer, McDonald Chipenzi has, however, criticized the failure to translate the [NCC] draft constitution into local languages” I will instead work on a Tonga translation of it.
B blest…
Cost Zambia? why just because it promotes peace and hold people like Ichilema and Satan away from the doors of power? They are panicking and sweating already! Nice one
this mmd thug group is s liability to zambia…we want change..

let us be realistic how can be article on suspension of donor aid to health and someone respond by saying the mmd is well organised can be serious on the issue of debate. supporting parties blindly will never take this country anywhere.
