The Patriotic Front leadership in Lusaka Province has presented a petition to the party Central Committee calling for the expulsion of former State House permanent secretary Emmanuel Chilubanama from the party.
Presenting the petition, PF Lusaka Province Chairman Paul Moonga said Mr. Chilubanama should NOT be allowed to continue to be a member of the rulling party for allegedly disrespecting President Edgar Lungu.
Mr. MOONGA said the disciplinary committee called Mr. Chilubanama to exculpate himself over his statement that was aired on a named private Television station but he decided not to be truthful to the committee.
He said the party will wait to hear from the Central committee but Mr. CHILUBANAMA remains suspended from the party in Lusaka Province.
Speaking when he received the letter, PF Secretary General Davis Mwila said he will ensure that the petition is tabled before the Central Committee as soon as possible.
Mr. Mwila said the party’s Central Committee will NOT allow such indiscipline among its members to prevail.
The PF Secretary General also urged those with Presidential ambitions to challenge the President with respect and not insults.
These things… last was Eastern Province, they are back in their hell city of Lusaka.
The party central committee will decide on this matter in a fair manner without fear or favour. We are not stopping people from challenging the president but a bit of respect in your approach is needed. Kz
HYPOTHESIS is better than being indesciplined,. It is with fair tabled lay out done, as to consider no one is above others when challenging.mm
Despite all the several punitive articles in the PF constitution, PF only uses one for all offences and regardless of the magnitude of the offence – expulsion. Very hard hearted characters. For KBF, just to declare his intent to stand for the PF presidency the punishment was expulsion, For Chilubanama just to express a divergent view that he prefers another leader other than the one who has brought all economic indicators to its knees for the country, they are demanding for his expulsion. Despite glaring failures by their president, they want somebody who will still give false praises.
PF should learn from the ANC in South Africa, the Labour and Conservtaive parties in the UK where the leader is not a God, if you have different views you should be allowed to express them, nomba ba PF they expel you.
We are going for a convention, but Lungu is our sole candidate for 2021. We welccome all who want to challenge the President. When the president is challenged, the challenger removed from the party for disrespect,
VERY LOGICAL.
One wonders why anyone who speaks sense in PF is threatened with either a beating from the carders or expansion?
Ba chipubanyama overrates himself . He is the one who once dispparaged some guy who was driving a smaller car at Manda hill all because he was previllaged at the time to drive a V8 GRZ vehicle.
This fellow looked down upon and rubbished as well as disrespected most people who were not PF or closer to the corridors of power. Not to mention blocking others from many things .He thought he will be in that position forever.
God sees and hears people’s cries and comes to their aid .
Marjority of PF members don’t want to see any body challenging president Lungu because the eat ,drink and dine with him and if a new leader took over the presidency then ukulya mwibala,corruption and kickbacks will cease and fear to loose their current corrupt positions .It is the wamuyaya and stealing syndrome they don’t want to loose the grip off.We need asober president in state house who is 100% focused to improving the economy of zambia in 2021.Tatulefwaya CHENDA NTAYA NTAYA again.
