Parliamentary Chief Whip, Vernon mwaanga says he is not aware of anyone pushing him to replace the ruling Movement for Multi party Democracy (MMD) National Secretary, Katele Kalumba.
Mr Mwaanga told QFM radio in an interview, when commenting over reported allegations that Mr Mwaanga is being touted to take over Mr. Kalumba’s position as party national secretary in an acting capacity.
Mr. Mwaanga, who recently traveled to Namibia with the republican president on a state visit, said that he has no such information.
He said he holds Mr. Katele in high esteem and would not at any point make such intentions.
Mr Mwaanga, however, maintained that he is not aware of any such endeavors by anyone within or outside the party.

As MMD continues to recycle worn out politicians! Unfortunately, its the same with PF and all!
VJ do what you do best. Deny, deny. Come on now, take over this post. No one can do the job better. Once you take over, continue what you do best. Rig, rig. After all you days are numbered. These are your last kicks. Kick SATA. SATA was the “big boy” when he was national secretary in MMD. He kicked everyone out of the party. Chaps used to scamper when SATA backs. Ask Miyanda. He was thrown out. Levy (mhsrip) also was kicked out. Gen Tembo (MHSRIP) was check-mated. There wont be any other time to finish the job you have started long time now. Look, SATA is old & geting older. Make sure they retire together with BANDA in 2016. SATA shld retire a frustrated man with no pension. He must retire a miserable man. Old and finished. Do the job badala! Its already done, u finish it.
Who in their sanity can believe VJ in this modern world
What are ‘intenstions’??
PULEEEEEEEZ don’t flatter us V.J!!!
he’s almost dead…we don’t need a national mourning..
# 1 Yes I agree with you. the young and ambitious politicans are frustrated with these recycled old guards.
what is zambia’s retirement age?
VJ asila zoona!! muntu kucita khuchoka tunsimbi sure??
Mwaanga is not the right person to replace Kalumba. VJ is an old recycled politician, you need new blood in mmd for the party to move forward. VJ should concentrate on his health problems and should not take on more stress same as Kunda they finished. VJ has been in politics for over 50years what more does he want and has nothing to show for it.
Ba LT don’t you have some better pictures of Mwaanga that one which looks like he is from Mars.
hey people,with good eye-sights,whats that ka-thing attached to VJs head?
As much as no one has thusfar made any proposition for the former party SG to act, Hon. Mwaanga as founder member and most senior party official has every constitutional right to vie for any party position at the forthcoming national constitution. MMD is his party he founded and has steadfastly remained loyal too. If anything, he is younger than scoundrels like Sata and imperial Gay Scott with their neo-colonialism mindset. He is the most informed, and experienced public strategists the country has ever produced. He is at liberty to go for any position in the party at a the convention.Such is an MMD internal matter of which MMD as a party owes no explanation to anyone except the MMD constituency.
Someone who was fired( for lies) by Mwanawasa is now a star in MMD. People who were there when he was fired are so quiet… Sad. Integrity has eluded our politicians. The older you grow the less integrity u have…… bwafya
Shipat,
Was Mwanawasa your alpha and Omega? Say you what, he was fired as Zambia’s solicitor General by KK exactly 7 months in the job? Did’nt he later get coronated by the same Mwaaanga and Chiluba to Zambian President against Mazoka. Us christians we say define your destiny and be defined by others. The Greatness of a man is not in how many times you fall, but stand up. This is scriptural. Did’t you see that exactly what VJ was sent to do and said in DRC is exactly what Mwanawasa did to Katumbi 5 months later before his death. All of Katumbi’s frozen assets were returned to him and cases dropped. Little do you know that LPM apologized to VJ and were very close. Often they were having lunch at plot one together.You risk being defined by others if you allow their actions to define…

On “He [uncle VJ Mwaanga] said he holds Mr. Katele in high esteem and would not at any point make such intentions,” this is an honest statement from a man who lost clean game to Dr Hon Katele kalumba at an MMD convention for the post of National Secretary.
I hope he will be rewarded with the acting position so that he can do what he has always intended for MMD.

VJ is sick and old he needs to sit home and rest and take care of his health. Am sure friends and his concubines can help him with some money from time to time if its a financial situation
Manyazi ,
You have no proof to all your insinuations while GRZ has publishable evidence that Sata has a borrowed life trhriving on a sick and fragile heart which has metals inserted in. There is also evidence that Satais epileptic with Kaposi’s Sarcoma. Tell him to challenge the state that evacuated him to SA to.
Shut up VJ, Katele needs to resign to save face…in the interest of Zambians. However, like you Vernon he is in politics to better himself at the expense of poor hard working Zambians. When you going to back off…VJ? Enough is enough naimwe….kukonda ka limelight ka? Niya chani iyo?
That thing, what ever it is, in the side of VJ’s head seems to have painfully pierced right through what is left of his brain! That is some powerful A R Vs I tell you folks! Mpaka ku manda, ba VJ sure. Even my aunty’s torn baggy underwear looks less abused, leff finished!!
