Allegations that UPND MPs have boycotted COVID-19 fight are myopic-Mwiimbu

Share

The UPND has described as pathetic and myopic allegations by Southern Province Minister Edify Hamukale that its members of Parliament in the Province boycotted the fight against coronavirus.

Leader of the opposition in the National assembly Jack Mwiimbu has challenged Mr Hamukale to produce any evidence that UPND members of parliament were accordingly informed that they were required to collect materials from the ministry of health.

Mr Mwiimbu said Mr Hamukale and his Permanent Secretary are playing cheap dirty politics that are inimical to the fight against corona virus.

He reminded Mr Hamukale that Zambia can only win the fight against COVID-19 if he desist from petty cheap politics.

Mr Mwiimbu reiterated that the UPND, through its President Hakainde Hichilema has made generous and tremendous contributions through the ministries of Health and Home Affairs to fight the corona virus.

He said the UPND Mps and other leaders have been apolitical in this fight against the pandemic.

Mr Mwiimbu said UPND MPs have mobilised resources to purchase various items to fight the pandemic and it must be noted that Zambians have been united to fight pandemic without any political considerations.

He said Mr Hamukale should realise that Zambians are not competitors in a musical concert where they sing the way he wants.

  1. First of all, the Health Minister is being economical with the truth.How can you help when the nation is being fed half truths.
    The standard W.H.O PCR test takes six hours from start to finish to complete. How you can conduct 200+ tests and obtain results within 24 hours is really astonishing.
    The USA, Europe and the rest of the world are battling to implement quick turnaround testing for civid-19. Zambia is doing it in record time.
    Things are not adding up.

    • The all idea doesn’t make sense, upnd donated items to ministry of health and home affairs for the covid fight, now they have to go back and collect the items to distribute to the masses. Now I understand why nervous Mumba and andyford banda are distributing their donations directly to the people,

  2. The upnd are a bunch of scatter brains starting with their demigod leader. That joker has been rejected more times than a dirty CD in a CDplayer. However he continues to impose himself as eternal leader. So we know how desperate he is and nothing can surprise us. This explains why in last days there have been resignations within upnd of councillors. They are fed up of this joker. Majority of diaspora are sadly upnd supporters

  3. Hon. Mwiimbu don’t waste your time responding to this man Hamukale, he has no constituency, he is surviving on appointment and he is campaigning for a lazy man Edgar Lungu. Infact UPND must use this opportunity to tell how PF allowed this corona virus in the country. I know HH advised them what they should have done but they never listened. There are people from high risk covid-19 countries still arriving in the country when almost every country put travel restrictions. Find ways hitting them hard. PF government must go!

  4. Jack Mwiimbui what the hell is wrong with you? UPND has 18 MPs, How come 4 MPs collected the materials? What happened to the 14 MPs? Iam sure they are scared of god Akalema. Anyway i end here.Let government distribute the materials to the people if the MPs are not willing to work with the government.

    • Liars are sons of the devil.

      The members of the National Assembly of Zambia from 2016 until 2021 were elected on 11 August 2016. They consisted of 156 elected members, eight members appointed by the President, the Speaker and the Vice-President. The elected members included 80 from the Patriotic Front, 58 from the United Party for National Development, three from the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy, one from the Forum for Democracy and Development and 14 independents.[1]

  7. “WITHIN YOUR PF THEY ARE SAYING HH IS THE SOLUTION.”
    Are you an imbicile. What inroads has Hingombe Hilede made in the PF strongholds? Western and North Western now belong to PF.
    You are sitting on a computer you don’t even vote on the ground and you expect a peanus Kainde to get to State House by luck? Your opinion is like dog feacal. No value.

  8. When HH attempted to distribute donations directly to the public, they called it politicking. Remember Bowman & Chawama genset. Now he gave to the Ministry of Health, they say come back and distribute in your constituencies. I tell you, if this was not a matter of life and death, you could say a lot of badness about some of our people.

  9. Edify Mukale is one of the Tonga useful !d!ots who think by attacking their fellow Tongas, they will be loved by PF!
    That cheap propaganda won’t win PF votes. Tongas are not as poor as some other tribes who became of poverty can easily be bought. Guess what, Genuine Tongas don’t care if none of their own becomes president. One thing they will never do is voting for mediocrity! Zonda Mutonga uzalema!

  10. What is wrong with you UPND? Thats why I cant vote for you because you exhibit a very divisive character. You mean you have not heard GRZ plea to all MPs to collect the COVID-19 PPEs for distributions in your respective constituencies? You ar don’t care for your people guys. In everything you see enmity what more if you were to form government are you not going to kill us who don’t support you. Please change for good.
