National-UPND-deputy Spokesperson, Cornelius Mweetwa says he will not heed to the undue pressure from the ruling PF and its surrogates to apologize to Republican Vice President, Inonge Wina for terming her speech in Parliament recently as “shallow” and “shameful” regardless of the consequences.
Addressing journalists at the Party Secretariat this morning, Mr Mweetwa has insisted that he was not addressing a woman in Parliament but a leader of Government business.
“it is Republican Vice President, Inonge Wina who owes Zambians an apology for the misleading statement that left grave ramifications on the opposition law makers and party members in general.”
Mr Mweetwa observed that the PF has opted to devise a profoundly, antagonistic, archaic and colonial tactics to make MPs look like they do not reason or think.
He stated that those who were clamouring for an apology from him were those who were not privy to the genesis of the controversy, adding that Mrs Wina’s decision to mislead the nation over gassing shouldn’t be construed as disrespect to the Veep as an individual, but her office which is an annex of the Office of the President (OP).
“If they want this issue of gassing to end, it will not end and am a frontrunner and promoter to have the evil gassing issue accorded a conclusive end. I am not going to apologize for anything whatsoever and am ready for any consequences they might be contemplating,” he said.
He stated that it was surprising that he was forced to apologize against his will for lapsing an important question on the floor of the House, adding that he was made to apologize for lapsing the question time on the floor of the House when he had gone to the convenience room.
Mr Mweetwa has also called on Zambians to judge for themselves who committed a bigger wrong between the one who falsely alarmed the nation that the opposition were behind the gassing or the one who stated that this is a lie from a person from a high office.
Mweetwa who stated that the issue of Mrs Wina had no gender connotations on it, warned that those who were including her in these debates were abusing gender advocacy and that age should not be included when it comes to matters of national importance.
WELL DONE!
NEVER apologize to visionless t3rr0r!sts, who can easily go into a Police Station, brutalise & rob from the nation’s Police.
These ” P.F panga welding Banyamulenge” through their toothy Alpha & Omega of state sponsored violence, g@ss!ng & intolerance should be the ones apologising to the Police & the nation for turning Zambia into the new Interahamwe /Banyamulenge panga infested playground.
J0n@ is very dangerous indeed like the Kachasu he used to drink, before daft lying Gogo In0nge thrust him into plot #1 & gave him the instruments of power to convert Zambia into a bonafide Dangerous Kachasucracy!
Lastly J0N@AYENDE!!
Even Ester Lungu should demand answers to the “gassing” issue. She wouldn’t cry for nothing .
Anyway , Life without Ba Ester Lungu feels so good. She is so unproductive as her Fire trucks.
She shouldn’t have misled the nation on the gassing rather she should have waited for the report from the Police and investigative wings.
Unfortunately the Police were recently clobbered by our own cadres in full view of the Police so the report will take a while to come out. They are still nursing wounds.
Okay, some reformation here. Well done…
Mweetwa don’t apologize, apologies are for the sons and daughters in the house.
I can’t fathom out seeing mweetwa crying and amwapeeeling for forgiveness from Kings daddy and mummy.
Why apologise to the walking dead, too old to hold office, you want an apology go start a farm and employ dull PF cadres to do that… in parliament there is nothing like old and young mother of PF and all that sh1t, what wrong with these PF g00ns
It’s your stance, Cornelius. You shall be quoted in future as you are on record. Remember, every action has a consequence.
You have made Zambians proud Mweetwa. I was the first one to get disappointed if you were fell to their pressure. Meanwhile LT update the nation on the issue of PF cadres who are now clobbering the police and them. If our police officers can be beaten and robbed what of you and me as ordinary citizens. This is the reason we say PF must go.
MWEETWA,DON’T DO ANYTHING.THEY ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE THINGS TO DISCUSS. LET,HER GO AND HANG IF SHE FEELS INSULTED.SHE LIED.THAT IS THE PROBLEM.THEY THINK ZAMBIANS CAN BUY THERE STUPID UTTERANCES WHEN THEY ARE PUTTING ZAMBIA MY COUNTRY AT RISK.BETTER SHE APOLOGIES TO THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE CZ SHE MISLEAD US ALL.SHE WANTED PEOPLE TO HATE UPND WHEN WITHIN THEMSELVES THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WERE BEHIND ALL THESE DISASTERS .EVEN,IN HER HEART SHE KNOWS THE TRUTH.MAAYO,TWAPAPATA, STOP MAKING AN WANTED UTTERANCES.
EVEN,KZ CAN APOLOGIZE FOR ON HER BEHALF.KIKIKI
That’s way to go sometimes apology doesn’t make sense tl people like Inonge Wina.
Inonge Wina has failed to provide leadership and she oftens issue statements which are inflammatory and injurious to the people and opposition.
She has failed to advise Edgar Lungu on many fronts and she behaves as though teen.
I stand with Cornelius Mweetwa.
PF must go!
Shame on bo kuku she is such a disappointment.
Stubborn Mweetwa,he thinks he is bigger than Zambia, Zambia is bigger than conelius so mwetwa needs to be counseled by chief Chooma Who as volunteered to instill sense in him because mweetwa is behaving like a kid and yet he blames to be a lawmaker. shame on you conelius.
They gassed our people , watching as 50 innocent civilians were killed as a result………
And all those Stu.pid ignorant PF women trying to make this a gender issue did not say anything when a young woman was stripped naked in front of this old woman’s podium while she watched on labour day for warring UPND colours ……..the old witch did not utter a word. This encouraged the PF thugs more in violating the helpless girl.
Never create a figure model out of Mweetwa by asking for apologies from him. He’s so insignificant to survive alone, he breaths the exhaled air of hh.
To future Zambian leaders , this PF mess must be a classic lesson of …
” lies have ways to come back and bite you in the as.ss ….”
Lungu has goverened over so much PF lies that now no one except the very ignorant and the looting benificeries belive a word they say…… , even them are perplexed and bamboozelled with some of the lies from lungu and his desperate gang….
Chief Cooma is a massive,big disappointment.The sons and daughters from his chiefdom are being retired in national and public interest on account of tribe and what did he do about it nothing.Suddenly he now pops up being counselor for Mweetwa. People were lynched on accusation of gassing.The VP is better be informed that the public needs answers.
Ignorance and reasoning still remain very big problems in our country. imagine a vice president falsely accuses the opposition without any evidence whatsoever, Mweetwa highlights the issue and the Speaker and some misguided women including a chief and some women parliamentarians ask Mweetwa to apologize. To apologize for what? Inonge Wina is not infallible please. Start working and stop this time wasting of asking a man who has not committed any wrong to apologize. Be objective for once
Stick to your word. Job well done this administration is full of fools. Why is she still in office. I would rather apologize to a tree.
PF must Go
Since you said regardless of the consequence, Now the consequence is UPND will lose next year’s election because it is a disrespectful party.
What disrespectful, same things highlighted above. Does it mean if somebody tells a lie, Mweetwa should dance. The bible always asks to be truthful and the bible is categorical, be truthful regardless of age and gender. There is nothing to apologise for here, the one who made the allegation is clearly not truthful, otherwise we could have seen the evidence. As for elections, it is the Zambian people who vote, so don’t lie gain that UPND will loose, you are doing the same thing the Zambian people are condemning the Vice President for, not being truthful, you never learn…
Everyone lies to their neighbour. No one speaks the truth. The people of Zambia have taught their tongues to lie. They sinned until they were too tired to come back. This is what kasesema Yelemiya could have said if he lived in Lusaka today. Nayena kasesema Yesaya would have added, ‘The LORD says, “These people come to honour me on 18th October with words but I am not important to them. The worship they give me is nothing but human rules they have memorised.”‘
Never in the history of Zambia have we had such criminals ruling us.
It is terrible, where a Vice President just accuses others without any iota of evidence, and once challenged by the opposition, a clear partisan speaker is asking for an apology from an opposition MP. An apology for what? Reasoning would have demanded that the one who made accusations is asked to substantiate, but she is the one being protected. How callous?
Cornelious Mweetwa is not a rabid dog like that Bisa boy who doubles for Lusaka Mayor or Lusambo who are always too eager to swallow their own vomit. He has not done anything wrong and he shall never apologiese. Bo Inonge Mutukwa Wina ki niti ba zizilika!
Mweetwa is not that Bisa boy who doubles for Mayor of Lusaka always too earger to swallow is own vomit and excrement! My boy shall never apologise, ki niti Inonge Wina wa zizilika!
Iwe mwaice Mweetwa just behave. Apologies tufilabeko.. Your words won’t be forgotten
Iwe mwaice Mweetwa just behave. Apologise tufilabeko.. Your words won’t be forgotten
Apologise for what?
So this is how you all silly and stupid Zambians can think?Its such a shame of of all of you supporting that arrogant mweetwa whatever he calls himself.If he deemed that what VP said was a lie,he would have simply said that he does not agree with her and insist that she produces evidence.But since all of you Zambians,the stupid ones think politics is about insults,downgrading your own leadership,nowonder you have now stupid whites telling you how to conduct free speech,how to govern your selves,while their racist president is busy crushing protesters and promising to shoot them and send dogs on them,the same so called envoys say nothing bcause he is some silly white.Learn to respect your own ,you can say in many ways and not disrespect.You have forgoten that the same chap wanted to…
Mweetwa walitumpa,icilipala ubukulu nge mbale, *****
Your party is full of sadist
Wise decision, don’t ever.
