President Rupiah Banda’s Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations, Dickson Jere, has challenged opposition Patriotic Front leader, Michael Sata to learn to tell the truth and desist from dragging innocent people into unnecessary politics.
Mr. Jere asked Mr. Sata not to use him (Jere) as a scapegoat for the alleged lies he (Sata) told the nation that Chadian President Idris Derby had secretly come to Zambia to hold talks with President Banda in Mfuwe.
He said it was unfortunate that the PF leader has decided to use him as a scapegoat for the wrong things he told the nation.
Mr Jere was reacting to Mr. Sata’s statement in today’s Post Newspaper that Mr. Jere telephoned an editor at the Times of Zambia not to publish the story about the alleged secret visit by Mr. Derby,
He said in a statement to ZANIS in Lusaka today that at no time did he telephone the Times of Zambia or any other news media organisation to drop the alleged story.
Mr. Jere challenge Mr. Sata to name an editor whom he said was instructed to drop the story concerning the purposed visit by Mr. Derby to hold private talks with President Banda.
He added that the best thing Mr. Sata should do is to apologise to Zambia for his untruthful statement instead of creating more misleading statement that the time of Zambia newspaper was stopped from publishing the purported story.
Mr. Jere reiterated that President Derby never came to Zambia .
“The truth still remains that President Derby was never in Zambia . I challenge Mr. Sata and indeed the media to countercheck this basic fact with the Chadian government,” he said.
ZANIS
Expecting a pathological liar like Sata to tell the truth is as good as asking a maggot to develop horns.
Iwe Jere, Sata told the truth. If you are a credible team, if at all you will ever be, can you tell the nation who Banda met at Mfuwe? If you MMD cadres cannot learn to tell the truth to the nation about who the President is meeting to sell the nation, how will you expect people to think about this President? Banda is the one not telling the truth.
It was two weeks ago that the Post exposed his sneak out of the country to go watch football. What type of a person is Banda?
Well, since he was doing a nation duty to meet these investors, who are they if not Idris Deby? What type of investors are they? Where did they come from? IS Banda having clandestine meetings to sell our resources? Name these fellow criminals who could not meet him in Lusaka where, but some jungle in Eastern…
OK, then tell us the truth, because between you Jere and Sata we don’t know who is saying the truth.
Jere you are employed to defend lies created by your masters. Whilst Sata will use your lies for campaign.
Understand that George Mpombo, Michael Sata and their infantile concubine of convenience Ichilema’s type of politics is marked by surreal distortion and often a sense of impending danger to opposition democracy which ruling MMD has been passionately known for promoting. These are in worst state of Kafkaesque fantasies
“Senior bushit citizen”, which democracy is MMD promoting. you fool
# 4, Mr HH is not Mr Sata’s concubine. If you are Mr Jere’s concubine does not mean that everyone is everyone’s concubine. In other words your insulting of HH and Sata is uncalled for. If yours does not function as we all know, please leave these two functional human beings alone. Your impotency is not their problem.
Where have you been the past 3 weeks when Sata said that.The Chadian Govt has not complained to anybody.Sata has refused to apologize and rightly so.Ala-Bee has been gallivanting all over after the brown envelop meeting in Mfuwe.
I hope Dickson is upgrading his qualification come next year his Diploma will not get him a job anywhere
l just wonder wheather “those” who are caught day and night in the web of lies do not apologize.
Let Sata check facts with chadian government than producing statements which can be proved or defended, such is politics of the olden days which can not take this country anyway
Senior Citizen#1 take yo small M.B.O.L.O to hell ! leave our president alone(SATA).
Those of us who know Sata very well and have a better recollection of his role in Zambia’s history know that he is telling lies, as usual. Prior to the 1991 general elections, Sata (still behaving in the same bravado manner as today) told the nation that President Kaunda had hidden military weapons at his son Panji’s farm at Sindamisale in Chipata to use them to overthrow the MMD if the party won elections. Such an arms cache was never found and Sata failed to provide evidence. Again during the same period, Sata claimed that former Iraqi leader Saddam had landed secretly at Lusaka International Airport in order to whisk President Kaunda away on the eve on the 1991 general elections. Again this proved to be Sata’s usual blue lie as he failed to prove his allegation. Zambians watch out!!
wether thez mmd fuz lyk it or nt the PACT is forming government cum 2011.
As Zambians we are involved in very cheap politics and this is likely to go on until we learn new ethics and understand the true value of politics and the internet. I would however hope that as we practice our cheap politics we could try NOT to involve foreign Heads of State who may not appreciate the way we treat each other. Sooner or later we are bound to have a serious diplomatic incident which may put our country in peril. As of now the Brazillian President is here whom the Post has so far ignored because it has not decided how to treat the visit. Let us not take our hatred for each other so far as to endanger the national interest. Kanongafye ebo!
So, who did RB invite to come to Zambia when he made a stop over in Chad on his way to France? The fact remains that RB met Deby whether he likes or not. RB left his challenger in Chad on his way to France since planes from Zambia are not allowed into European space and he went back to Chad to pick his small aircraft on his way to Zambia. Jere what goes round will always come round
If Deby did indeed visit Zambia, why would the govt want to hide the fact? If RB wants to deal shady deals with Deby, do they really need to meet face to face? This story does not make sense but as usual those belonging to the cult of Satan wont admit that he is telling lies as he has done on many occasions in the past. Alas, what can one expect from people who believe in the 90 days miracle from the staunch advocate of the Chiluba third-term debacle who now has the bare faced cheek to refer to the VP as a boot licker?
Some analytical capabilities really leaves us to wonder if some of you have stuff between your ears. Who doesn’t know that Idris is in the pocket of Gaddafi? Do you really do shady deals on the phone knowing that airwaves are clogged with eavesdropping gadgets and your phone calls have to pass through some foreign country before they even get connected? Iyo there’s ignorance on LT. Where does MMD get these people (supporters) who cannot even understand business communications? I would have used the Mpombo word on you, but I reserve the right to use it next time you display your ignorance.
Yeah its true hahahah ahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahah
Yaba yaba People in Zambia have nothing to do really. No wonder we are were we are as a nation. So what if this Guy visited Zambia. What is the beef? Why should the entire nation spin on this? Don’t we have better things to discuss. Anyway let me get ready for the WC semi final it is going to be a cracker tonight
Dickson Jere is an equivalent of the Overseer, or Kapitao in slave times and Colonial times respectively.
Hey MMD cadres, I will be starting a course at UNZA. It is cadre 101. Probably it will help you to be sharp when you debate issues. Oh, sorry, I forgot that you are not University materials. Mishanga sellers.
Such is such a comic character. I tend to wonder the sense of seriousness of the people that so blindly worship him
#20 You are insulting mishanga sellers? I thought your party was supposed to be pro-poor? Some of us already have our degrees. Anyway, hope you get two degrees like your Sata. By the way, if you think that your leader can debate issues, I recommend you again listen to the VOA interview just to confirm how coherent he is and how much he grasps the modern world. Good luck in your endeavours.
# 22, please stop insulting people with degrees. Are you talking about degrees of insanity?
#23 If you have heard the VOA interview and still support Satan, then am afraid it is you who is insane. And some of us have not forgotten that you wished genocide upon mother Zambia, and stated you would be the first one to hack other Zambians with divergent views to your own and you have the cheek to call me insane? Anyway, as I said in my earlier posts, why are you insulting mishanga sellers if your party is supposedly the voice of the people Mr Machete?
So, I have got you on the degree issue? Now you are like a drunk groping in the darkness trying to find some defense to your lunatic rantings. How did this topic just gravitate to what you are discussing? Give evidence to what you just said. Or else you will be seen as a flickin liar. Does your pseudonym mean exactly what you are? Come on man, debate issues. If the kitchen is getting hot, leave. That is why there are restau-rants. Go rant there.
#25 I wish you could be coherent sometimes – it would help to actually articulate your ideas. Got me on what? You are the one who said that I was insane. To counter that argument I raised a point in relation to what you have written here on this blog, just to show how absurd it is for someone of your ilk to call somebody insane when you support murder by machetes. I see you still have not responded to my point about denigrating mishanga sellers from someone such as your dear self who supports a party that is supposedly pro-poor. Well?
# 26 You see, you said you have degrees. So, which topic do you want to discuss? Remember it must be in relation with headline and what other people are discussing. Can you, if you are honest, point at what blog where I said I will hack someone? If you are sane and with your five senses, please refer me and other readers where I said such words. If you fail to do so, please regard yourself as ichisushi. You are here stating things that you have no evidence about. That in short is insanity. When I challenged you on the degrees, where did you run to? Only you MMD cadres rant about education. Education this, education that. Who cares about your degrees? No matter how many degrees you might have, you will never boil the ocean. If you know what I mean.
DELETED
Why has it taken them this long to deny the allegation, why did Jere wait until Sichinga had put a spin to this for him to comment. These guys behave like kids.
I am waiting on Mr. Sata to go ahead and disclose the existence of underground tunnels in Mfuwe! Watch how Mr. Sata will finish this MMD!
Kalos2020
I have always told you that you act like a disabled person! You always undecided what you wanna do in life! Today you are hot and the next day you are as cold as a cucumber! You celebrated to hear that I was recalled home! My impersonator got you pants down! I wonder how you will react now that I have been moved up to run the embassy in Washington! Who is the boss now? Hope you have sorted out your immigration paperwork coz you will be shocked in the coming weeks! Chaps like you have always spoiled Zambia’s name in the diaspora!
number 10 mapolo yako kumozi na sata
Why is Jere worried? Is there some truth in Sata’s rantings? I think so, this why the foxes are panicking. Jere what ever you do, there will be some one to leak the information. Not all your employees are happy with MMD.Unless you employee your children, uncles, grandfathers etc, you are not safe.
i bet sata is telling the truth..this journalist called jere doesnt want to be poor again..defending his job..its true..he was here ..chad presido..over zamtel issue ka!!
Dickson Jere use to produce Lima Time at ZNBC. Poverty pa Zambia!
