Masumba woes Kabompo east MMD members

Share

Newly appointed North western province minister Stephen Masumba has urged MMD sympathizers in the province not to feel insecure to join the ruling Patriotic Front-PF.

Mr Masumba appealed to the opposition party members to also consider the development agenda of the PF government as a move that should attract them to join the ruling party.

Mr Masumba said there is nothing wrong for people from the opposition parties who are willing to align themselves with the Patriotic Front government to do so because its development agenda is all inclusive and beyond political interests.

The minister was speaking in Kabompo when he addressed MMD and PF district officials at Suwuluka lodge yesterday.

He said the grass root structures of the PF has to grow by increasing the membership and that anyone willing to join should feel free to come on board.

And Kabompo east MMD member of parliament Danny Chinyimbu who accompanied Mr Masumba on his tour to the district said he is still consulting party officials in the constituency before he considers resigning from the former ruling party.

Mr Chinyimbu said he has realized that he cannot deliver his development agenda to the expectations of the people in the area if he remains in the opposition.

He disclosed that the PF in the province has approached him over his intention to cross over to the ruling party but that he is still weighing the sacrifice before accepting the offer.

Meanwhile, senior chief Sikufele of Kabompo district has thanked Mr Chinyimbu for his intention to leave the opposition MMD.

The senior chief said it is no long making sense for the MMD MP to remain in opposition when government has changed.

  1. Democracy is on its deathbed! This is cheap/gutter politics that will not benefit the nation in the end. Its retrogressive and will promote lawlessness. What happened to principled men of integrity? It a betrayal of the electorate.

  2. Kanshi the ‘playboy’ is a heavy weight? Na wao, he will surely deal with Pastor Mumba and his movement for multiparty defections.  Ekosulile Ekopa Noko. Bravo Masumba. SELENI TUBOMBEKO!!!! HH your stronghold – mm defections is under demolition exercise. It’s a matter of time and you will be quarantined too!

    • so it appears the law is selective. the rich and rulers are let loose while the have-not are convicted and jailed. its funny!!

    • Since they just “adapted” him I am not sure they committed a wrong here? use your motehr tongue if English is such a challenge. There is no problem with that at all.

  3. MASUMBA IS A SMART BOY. HE’S WITH A COMMON MAN. HE INTEGRATES HIMSELF WITH ORDINARY CITIZENS BY EVEN JOINING THEM IN DANCING TO RHUMBA. BEING A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT OR MINISTER DOESN’T MEAN ONE CAN’T DANCE TO MUSIC. MASUMBA TULEISA MUKUSHANA RHUMBA BONSE. AND PLEASE JOIN A BAND AS A DANCE MEMBER AS YOU SAID. IT’S IMPORTANT FOR YOUR HEALTH (EXERCISES).

  4. This is good because the opposition want to oppose everything, even shooting down the budget! If the opposition of HH and Nervers are matured then there can be no need for these needless by-elections.

  5. LOL – woes?

    Yes, Masumba is a woe, but whether or not he can “woo” remains to be seen.

    Truly, it’s a national embarrassment for these so-called journalists (and their “editors”!) at our NATIONAL news and information service make so many sloppy mistakes….. in the name of Zambia after all – shame on you guys for not knowing how to spell or even use a dictionary! 

    (Btw – now I can’t help but think about all the men who “pitch the woe” with the ladies in Zambia instead of pitching-woo…. hmmmmm….. maybe ZANIS is onto something?) 

  6. Zambia politics of the belly, lets wait & see, people want money from the pathetic faillure & Chief CNP told them, “if you want more money in your pockets join paya farmer(Pf)” ANOTHER LIE BY SATA.

  7. where is this country heading to? why does everybody think that development can only be attained by belonging to the ruling party? are we advocating for a one party state? we are tired of by elections that are a unbudgeted thereby causing a strain on the budget and the economy. why cant these opposition MPs stay put and wait for 2016 to choose which side of the wall to jump to.

  8. Ha ha ha!!! He was ‘wrongly awarded’ a certificate AND HE ACCEPTED!?? Talk of technicality this is too much! Ethically he should have brought it to the attention of the awarding authority to correct the record. Legally he may be at fault, too and the institution is within its right to actually withdraw that qualification formally. Meantime, I am not surprised he is “woeing” people in Kabompo East…

  9. HATERS ARE CHEWING OFF THEIR FINGERS EACH TIME MASUMBA IS MENTIONED. RIGHT NOW, MASUMBA IS AN MP AND MINISTER, DEAL WITH IT!!! KEKEKEKEKE 

  10. Do not worry you will see how they are going to ditch PF in 2016 because they will soon be embarrassed. And GBM is decided to resign from PF and Join the MMD then re contest his seat in Kasama to show them that he can do wothout PF. Ha ha ha ha ha that is latest but tala landa to the public na myebako fye. PF is not going anywhere with Winter Maize and his boss. GBM knows it all.

  11. MY APPEAL TO KABOMPO EAST IS THAT WE KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST PEOPLE WHO CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT BELONGING TO A POLITICAL PART.
    LET ME START WITH MOSES KAHYATA,MR.SONEKA AND MR DINGOMBI.THESE PEOPLE MISLED THE FORMER MP MR.CHIPAWA ANOSHI AS THEY BELIEVED IN EATING BEEF AS THE ONLY DEVELOPMNET.
    MR.CHINGIMBU DANNY ABUSED THE MONEY MEANT FOR ORPHANS AND VULNARABLE CHILDER UNDER LOLOMA INTERGRATED HEALTH PROMOTIONS AND CONSTRUCTED THE SUWULUKA LODGE,HENCE,HE IS RUNNING AWAY FROM BEING PROSCUTED BECAUSE HE IS A FAILURE.ALL THOSE WHO HAVE RESIGNED NEVER WORKED UNDER THE RULING PART MMD WHICH THEY SUPPORTED UNTILL TODAY.
    MASUMBA THIS IS NOT MUFUMBWE WHERE MAJORITY ARE POOR AND UNINFORMED BUT THIS IS MANYINGA WHERE PEOPLE HAVE MONEY AND EDUCATED.
    LET CHINGIMBU RESIGN TODAY.WE SHALL SHOW YOU.

  12. I am yet to see a politician as inteligent as H.E. Michael C. Sata. North Western is gone while HH & Pastor Mumba are busy misdirecting their political misiles!!!

    Masumba is adding value to the PF no doubt about that. He might not be the best MP for Mufumbwe but politics is more than that and this is whrer the difference lies btn Sata and HH including Pstr Mumba

  13. Sir, if you have no skills,strategy, brains and vision to develop the area, don’t give excuses! If you can’t develop under opposition, you can’t deceive the people of kabompo to develop under the ruling party. Cheap politics, trying to earn a living at the expense the poor majority, you wasting our money. We are not fools to see what you guys are doing, you have nothing to give period!
