Forum for Democracy Development (FDD) President Edith Nawakwi says there is need for opposition political parties to work with government to address the various challenges the country is experiencing.
Ms. Nawakwi says politicians have a role to play in retaining the country’s national values and morals.
She says opposition political parties can work together with government despite having divergent ideas.
Ms. Nawakwi says what divides the country are politicians who want power at all costs and end up painting a bad picture about the country to the world that opposition political parties cannot work together.
She says for opposition political parties showing up at Parliament during President Lungu’s address shows the country’s character of unity and coming together to find solutions to issues the country is facing.
Ms. Nawakwi was speaking in an interview with ZNBC News in Lusaka today.
Where has she sprang from? Is she a gasser masquerading as a political on Sabbatical Leave.
Kodi is that an interview with ZNBC? That looks like SABC imwe
Njala, Njala, Njala kkk some mispoliticians awe mwe.
They just turned up for free drinks and snacks.
We know this song with Nawakwi …she is like the hungry boy Tayali who is married to the young naive Ethiopian girl only that she times it exceptionally well just after General Elections
My sister Nawakwi is speaking sense.
Jst shut up, you hv a political party work with them, why are asking other when the govt of the day doesn’t want. Moreover they hv finished the term, the remaining days what are they going to do if they work with them? Rubbish advice, after sharing the monies of privatisation. Where is the money u shared with chiluba?
She is a bit.ch
Oh! Only appearing on state functions. This one a spoiler.
Everyone has a right to his or her own option stop your way of wanting everyone to say the things you want to hear. Do you think everyone hates the ruling party?
Respect her opinion. She has spoken sense. HH the s@t@n1st can never say anything good about government. I have a strong conviction hh will never go to state house unless he is delivered.
Wait, hh will hold a press conference to condemn Edgar’s address to mother Zambia
What is your role in society?
Hmmmm…..there is a certain group of people that are so allergic to peace. All the want is negativity. It won’t stand God forbid…..mama Edith that’s the way to go…..
SHE FELLOW SHORT OF SAYING OPPOSITION SHOULD JOIN PF. WHERE HAVE BEEN WHEN THE NATION NEED YOU MOST, YOU HAVE BECOME IRRELEVANT.
If FDD has a member of Parliament , then she doesn’t understand what government is,the legislature (Parliament) is one arm of government, so all those MPs in that house are just one arm of the government, then there is the executive and the judiciary, is civic education that difficult for mama nawakwi? I also laugh at people who say the pf government,
How?
It’s this muselela kwakaba which has dwindled your political fortunes!
How do you work with people who don’t respect the sacred law of the land? How do you work with people who have corruption scandals every day?
Nawakwi was paid off by lungu , part of the deal saw antonio mwanza move to PF.
Opposition can not work with a GRZ that brutalizes them and denies them rights under democracy
These are the kind of women we need, who are focused she thinks more than a man,some men we know are even shallow minded she even beat them when it comes to articulating national issues, she is excellent than the dundumwenzi.
Mama you are a leader go for it one day God will give what your heart desires and not unlike these Satanist we see around pretending to be politicians and yet they are not.
We looking for such leaders who are consistent in what they do than bakawayawaya.
@ Henry, while I could respect Ms .Nawakwi’s opinion it makes no sense for me in that being an opposition party leader she can speak for herself and the party she leads. It’s for the party in government to identify the need to engage with the opposition for cross pollination of ideas that would help national management efforts. Experience has revealed that the party in government has disdain for the opposition parties leaving me to wonder from which angle Ms Nawakwi is approaching this matter! Anyway Ms. Nawakwi is a spoiler and an EP (Enemy of Progress) among the opposition. Note how she springs up from hibernation when elections are nigh and campaigns are afoot! In all her utterances there are limitless aspersions aimed at disparaging colleagues in the opposition camp! What does she…
contd …. really stand for? Her relevance in Zambian politics is no more than to give credence that there is some semblance of accommodation for female participation at whatever level
Ya kanyokola njala ka Nawakwi, no wonder ka vala malipola na telelini. Kunya!
Iye imwe. Nawakwi is a very big farmer. She is the largest producer of bananas and one of the largest producers of vegetables and tomatoes. Guys please let’s learn to be circumspect before we make unnecessary criticisms. She is expressing her opinion and others label her as “njala”. I don’t understand some of our compatriots. Everything is seen as negative. It is true, opposition and ruling parties are both representing Zambians and should work together. Challenge is usually with ruling parties. We/they don’t give room for opposition parties to play their role.
Why work with a govt that doesn’t play fair to the opposition?
Samgwa po, sonta po, Nawakwi, Nawakwi. Bushe tapaliiiiiii aba ku tommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmba
My intuition tells me that one is aspering to be a running mate.
Following the collapse of Legana Sausage business, we can understand the desperation for cash to settle lingering liabilities! The only sure way to raise money as an opposition political party leader is to become a spoiler for the opposition and doing the dirty work for the ruling party!
