PF to change its constitution

Share

The Patriotic Front-PF says it is fully aware that its party constitution needs improvements.

PF Vice President Guy Scott has explained that his party adopted the UNIP model when the party was registered.

Dr. Scott has told ZNBC that the PF will change its constitution at the next General Conference.

And Dr. Scott says suspected MMD cadres who were dressed in party regalia torn down PF posters in Lusaka Central this morning.

He however says campaigns are going on well.

Meanwhile, More than 40 Patriotic Front Cadres that were involved in a road traffic accident in Mwinilunga have been discharged from Solwezi General Hospital.

North-Western Province Permanent Secretary, Fabian Mumba says the government has accommodated some of the cadres in Solwezi to facilitate medical review.

Mr. Mumba says the twenty-five cadres were discharged on Saturday, while 15 were discharged on Friday.

He told ZNBC News that government will also facilitated the movement of some cadres to other districts such as Kaleni, Mufumbwe and the Copper belt.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mumba says the four bodies are still in the mortuary awaiting postmortem while; one body has been transported to Kitwe for burial.

54 PF carders were on Thursday afternoon involved in a road accident killing 5 people and injuring 20 others.

The FUSO fighter light truck registration number ALB 1037 over turned at a junction 110 km from Mwinilunga.

The accident occurred when the driver was trying to avoid an on coming vehicle on the gravel road.

  1. Well the reason why we could never vote for pf is this same bad constitution of theirs. Changing later is too late since pf is going down for good after these elections.

  2. They are still using the UNIP constitution? My Gosh these chaps are destined for a total disaster.
    For the lost souls RIP.

  3. How can you trust a party with national constitution when there own constitution is not in order, and they promise to change the constitution in 90 days. Ladies and gentlemen lets experiment with HH it may be a worth experiment.

    • Dude, grow up! He’s only being truthful coz that Lifwekelo boy challenged your constitution. If there had been no challenge do u really think your tuma leaders wud have brought it up? lets try to be realistic, please!

  4. #5 And you lot have the cheek to refer to RB as a UNIPIST? How can MMD’s be worse than the UNIP one? If they are going to change it at the next PF general conference, when will that be, in another ten years as that is how long it took your master, ‘the man of action’ to organise an un-democratic convention.

    • Don’t you know how to read? The people where travelling to North Western province from somewhere? If you don’t understand English ask those who understand before you make comments.

  5. You see now?? This is what I have been talking about. Not only is PF having a confused leadership and kaponya supporters, but also that it is running on UNIP constitution. This is why there is so much confusion. You see now – how should people vote for a Party that is operating on the basis of a constitution that belongs to another finished party like UNIP??? And you want these PF ignoramuses to come and run the country???? Try it in Chikoleka village, may be.

  6. And Sata says RB is a UNIP member when he has a UNIP constitution. Well i guess it is a little too late to change the constitution because this could be the end of Sata as a politician, and as we know Sata is PF, so it could be be the end of PF

  7. @6 Airtime Sakala, If you want to copy and paste our constitution , then I have no time for you. Just go find it on your own Kaponya! You dont even know how to source materials. You can search on internet if you like.

    Time waster indeed§

  8. Now you can compare this to the 90 days philosophy that has been preached over the years! This is a ten-year old party and in the ten years, they are not able to update their party constitution now when they are not busy, but they promise to come up with a national constitution within 90 days. What happens if they got down to work with limited time?. This party is a big embarrasment

  9. How long has PF existed as a party? How do you expect PF to change the national constitution when they can’t change theirs all these years. So, we still have UNIP in PF? actually, PF=UNIP because they are guided by the same rules and regulations.

  10. ok but pf-poor finishers are a mess there constitution is not inorder awe mwandi and you give your vote to such pipo lets be wise

  11. NEXT TIME, YOU WILL HEAR THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE PRESIDENT OR THE NAME OF THE PARTY TO PAFYOLO FYO TWO BY ONE KATAPILA BY TWO

  12. the are the first to finger point but there the bigest hypocrites shame on them still using the unip constitution

  13. #12 Atleast at an MMD convention, ballot boxes are not there just to decorate tables. That is why the likes of Masebo, who is supposedly hated by RB can still be elected to the NEC. I am surprised that at the pf convention, Sata was not standing against a frog like in the good old unip days your disorganised party wants to bring back.

  14. SATA and PF honestly, you want Zambia to get vback to Unip days?
    Is that what SATA says Zambia needs rearrangement – meaning to arrange it the way it was in UNIP??
    Nowonder Panji Kaunda is so geared to further the agenda of His father KK because that is what SATA is pushing for.
    George Kunda said that PF has a plagiarised constitution.
    How on earth do you want to use UNIP mannuals in this time and age??
    Even UNIP has modified its old constitution; meaning that PF has the oldest, most outdated, and most useless consitution among all the parties. That is why the have nothing to say other than, “man of action”, “fly-over-bridge” and “cleaning UTH”.

  15. Ba PF, you are stubbon for nothing. You are noisy whistle blowers on useless things. Now that your party is a shadow UNIP, you must measure your words or better shut-up!

  16. So who is more UNIP between him and RB. the one using the UNIP constitution or the one who is not doing so anymore?

  17. Shame on Pa Fwaka…stop making noise about the constitution, you have no right what so ever to cheat the masses when you don’t have a constitution of your own. Sata can’t even write meeting notes, how can he preside over complicated issues?

  18. Zambians let’s be serious for once Tu pf especially,is this the party u want to bring to power wer its rule of the party for the party by the party!atase unip wamuyayaya kale fyapwa and these clowns want to take us bak,God forbid!ati 90days ifyabupuba kanshi in90days ninshi unip yabwela bakaboke Imwe!

  19. Am back!!!! PF is a worst political party to vote for and will never win any election. I will vote for HH at least he is sensible together with upnd. Am gone!!!!!!

  20. Thank God that PF cannot win these elections as they have lost the popularity they had in 2006/2008 elections.
    Otherwise Zambia was going to be ruled by UNIPists for at leats 5 years.
    This was going to be sad for Zambia, since they say they can only change it in the next AGM.
    But all the past 10 years waht were they doing????

  21. #34 SILENCER
    ZNBC did not force Guy Scott to say what he said.
    Guy Scott on his own forgot the principle of ‘DONCHI KUBEBA’ and ended up opening up and telling those secretes.
    Am sure he remembered that RB had said ‘UFISANJI MAMBALA’ and so he failed to hide the secretes.

  22. #34 – Keep on living on denial. Jesus will come and leave you still standing there until the fire starts raining. So which media do you listen to?- The Post?? Then what are you doing on this site? Imwe ba PF mwalifulungana sana. Stop following the UNIP Constitution – that’s why you are all confused including your President Sata. By the way, do you know that as a Party you could be sued by UNIP for plagiarism???

  23. PF you have plagiarised UNIP Constitution. In Zambian Copyright Laws that is a very serious offense. Mwamona, your Vice-President is so dull that he doesn’t know that what he is announcing is a criminal offense and the whole Party could be taken to court for violating copyright laws. You have plagiarised UNIP constitution and UNIP could take you to court for that. PF is so dull that they gonga-ed the UNIP Constitution. You are so clueless an stealing is so much in your blood that you think it is normal and go ahead and announce to the whole country. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PF????? FIRST, your agent NGOMA wanted to steal a ballot paper, and now you are confirming another theft of another document. So I’m sure noe you are serious about rigging the coming elections…!!! Ndiye kusila uku!!

    • Dimwit!!!! Even when we can see Guy swine Scott uttering what is reported here, just because it is on ZNBC then we should not believe it….What sort of reasoning is that?

  24. Number 10 please mwilaisebanya pacintu bwingi. Don’t you know how to read? The people where travelling to North Western province from somewhere. If you don’t understand English ask those who understand to explain to you before you make any comments.

  25. If the Father of the nation saw it to obsolete why would a company of full grown go to pick it, and try to deceive people that they are democratic. The problem is they are lacking isukulu. Can’t any of those parents think of their children in their decisions. Now when we say ba PF amano yalimishupa.

    It has taken a white man to come to the public and speak on harshness and inferiority of your constitution.

  26. PF’s constitution sounds more of ZANU-PF than anything. Mr. COBRA must have borrowed from his hero BOB hahahahahaha.

  27. #40, congrats for your good english, thats a first for a PF cadre. So the cadres were travelling from ‘somewhere’ like Kitwe to attend a rally in NW province. Does that not strike you as unusual? Why not have the rally in Kitwe then?

  28. #4, “Guy Scott is being honest and truthful. These are the leaders we need in PF”.
    So ba PF, why have you accepted a born liar to lead you?

  29. PF guys, we stated before that the PF constitution is basically a UNIP concept of wamuyaya. All those PF supporters who were hollering ignorantly “UNIPist!!, UNIPist!!”, what do you say now? And no nonsense of source of news, I heard Guy Scott for myself. And when Guy Scott says that the PF/UNIP constitution will be changed at the next General Conference, I hope you know that means five years from today, as far as I know the UNIP era, the General Conference is held at that frequency, just before the next General Elections.

  30. When PF talks about change, obviously according to Guy Scott this means going back to UNIP days, doesn’t it? Everything that we told you about PF has now come to pass and has been ably summarized by Guy Scott. By the way, I wonder whether Guy Scott consulted his boss Mr Sata? Here we seem to have situation where Mr Guy Scott tells the truth and his boss is a compulsive liar. But is that so? Of course not, Mr Guy Scott is an educated man, so for him to hang out with liars and plunderers he is fully aware of what he is doing and he is very much part of it. That makes him a liar and plunderer too, like everybody else in PF as we have discovered today.

  31. Guys, the PF want to rig the elections
    They have done everything to derail the election but have failed.
    God has stoped them from ill practices.
    They sent Ngoma to get rigging material in form of a sample.
    How do I know that PF sent Ngoma to get rigging material?
    Lubinda was yesterday defending Ngoma, WHY?
    Ngoma is NGO and not PF, people raise issues with Ngoma, but instead of PF being concerned too they start to defend Ngoma – Why?
    What is Lubinda’s interest with Ngoma?
    I expected Lubinda to show the same concern as everyone else over the stealing of the ballot paper by Ngoma, but instead Lubinda says Ngoma did not mean to use it for rigging.
    How did Lubinda know that?
    Does Lubinda think on behalf of Ngoma?
    Is Lubinda Ngoma’s spokes person??
    Lubinda knows something!!!

  32. PF/POST professor, Hansungule has already started calling for the elections to be ‘delayed’. They have realised their tricks are not working.

  33. Guy Scott welldone for being honest about PF’s intensions of getting us back to the days of the Party & Its Govt. Zambians all PS’s will have to be PF members!!

    Lets avoid this mistake & put HH in GRZ

  34. PF AND ITS PLAGIARISED CONSTITUTION OF EVERY ZAMBIAN MUST BE PF CADRE FIRST TO QUALIFY FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE IS MYOPIC.

    THAT IS THE OUTCOME OF BEING A PARTY OF RETARDS, WRITING AND THINKING BECOMES A NIGHTMARE BUT PLAGIARISM.

    UNIP SHOULD SUE SATA FOR PLAGIARISM.

  35. that why sata has not allocated potifolios in the central committee. he plan to marry the state and government. the ministerial positions will be called member of the central committee in charge of education(ministry of education) member of the central committee in charge of agriculture. sata is pure unip who cant change. i pit guy scott because he will be displined for not seeking clearance from sata for embarassing sata who have promised to change the republican constitution in 90 when he failed to change his bad party constitution for the past 10yrs and at the just ended cofference.
