Patriotic Front Vice President Hon. Given Lubinda has urged the President of the Republic of Zambia, Mr Hakainde Hichilema to quickly realize that he is no longer in opposition and get into gear as President because his party made many promises to the Zambian people which await fulfillment.
Speaking at the PF secretariat in Lusaka yesterday, Hon. Lubinda stated that had Bally inherited empty coffers, parliament wouldn’t be opening next week because there wouldn’t be money to pay parliamentarians.
He said FRA had continued paying farmers which wouldn’t have been the case had coffers been empty. He said Petroleum was still being purchased by the government.
And Hon. Lubinda has said unlike when UPND was in opposition and opposing just for the sake of it, the Patriotic Front would be an exceptional opposition that would cooperate with President HH to ensure he fulfilled his promises to the people of Zambia.
“Our MPs will cooperate with him so that come next year, our children won’t pay school fees,”
“He promised farmers that he would buy maize from them at K250, well, the farmers are waiting. Please, Bally, fix that for yourself and the nation,” he said.
Hon. Lubinda said the PF wanted Bally to fulfill his promises to the people of Zambia and would be watching him with microscopic eyes to ensure this was a reality.
He stated that Bally needed to unify the nation before adding, “Careful, 5 years is soon coming to an end,”
Does Lubinda have a chill pill? Fixing is everywhere lately. Either one is fixed or they have him fixed. Chillux. Bally is in the building assessing the situational.
Given Lubinda is being disingenuous and he knows it. Man doesn’t even have a cabinet yet and you want him to fix 10 years of ruin done by your party? Come on now… the PF don’t have any moral authority to comment on the affairs of the country (and least not yet).
But I agree Bally needs to stop criticizing his own government and leave the blame game of the PF to his foot soldiers. He needs to instill confidence.
In the meantime his party is petitioning over 400 election results, implying that the elections he won by a landslide were not free and fair!
You are Wrong Given Lubinda. You the one that needs to Chill, You and your PF buddies enjoyed destroying and ransacking Zambia.
PF leadership should be the last people to comment on Zambian President after turning our country into a laughing stock across the world. We’ve been called Zamchina, corrupt, broke, debt defaulter, and other names as a result of PF misrule. Your friends have been in office less than s month. Give them time and let them let off steam and talk about everything they’ve inherited from you. The world already knows how bad things are in Zambia. The only people who should be ashamed is PF. But I doubt you have the bandwidth to see your faults or take responsibility. That’s why you lost the elections
And this is why you were kicked out as you were not sincere….you lied to people who mandated you to look after their resources like kids. PF needs to rebrand they need get rid of tired dinosaurs like this coward Given Lubinda he is stuck in his old ways he can not take the party forward.
Lubinda you had 10 years to give advice you failed don’t try and do it now !
Given Lubinda has every right to remind HH about his promises. Just as he has every right to tell him that if GRZ coffers were empty, government operations would have ground to a halt. The ones who are untruthful are those trying to deny the obvious.
HAS GIVEN LUBINDA FORGOTTEN THAT THE PF, IN TERMS OF GOVERNANCE, HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE OPPOSITION? THE PF NEVER REALIZED THAT IT WAS THE RULING PARTY. IT NEVER REACHED THAT LEVEL OF MATURITY. GIVE BALLY TIME IWE.
Would it not be better for PF plunderers to just disappear for a while so that Zambians enjoy the peace in the nation? Or PF imagine a fountain of love somewhere! We are so over you guys, be gone!
I agree with you bo lubinda. Hh is a childish erratic little boy. Look how excited he got in his little pants when he was interviewed by BBC. Such interview should have been undertaken by one of his subordinates. Name a sitting president who has been interviewed on a useless BBC programme via Skype or video link. Hh is cheapening the presidency all in the name of wanting to be seen as modern or a musungu.
This is the man who used to lie to retirees that there was no money but when elections came he was busy dishing out funds to people with voter’s cards without shame!!
“Hh is cheapening the presidency all in the name of wanting to be seen as modern or a musungu.”
Look at the UK based impostor…he says HH is cheapened the Presidency for being transparent…really laughable…this cominig from a troll who was beating the drum for Lazy Lungu who was dining in the company of Arms Dealer Zingiman and a drug dealer on FBI watch called Findlay.
You guys already put the country in a fix with your over spending and corruption. What we are seeing now is a strategy of every corrupt politician yelling on top of their voice so that when the law visits them for past corrupt activities , they cry that they are being victimized for speaking out against the government even when they are pursued for corruption. Delay in caging those that have stollen will haunt HH. While Zambians have the appetite to reclaim stolen wealth and are supportive of the new admin, act quickly as the country is on your side. There could be a lot of stolen cash out there to be used to plot change of government in the next election. Cage the thieves quickly.
PF shut up. You brought us problems which Bally is just starting to fix
LUBINDA IS 100% RIGHT,YOU CAN NOT SAY PF SHUT UP.HH GOT IN POWER WITH ZAMBIAN BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.MADE A LOT OF FALSE PROMISES,DIVIDED THE COUNTRY BY NOT ACCEPTING THAT lUNGU WAS A PRESIDENT,TELLING HIS MPS NOT TO WORK WITH PF GOVT ETC.HIS FLOOWERS ARE INSULTING ANY PERSON TAKING AGAINST HH.WE SHALL MONITOR HH AND HIS GOVT. VERY CLOSE AND YOU HIS FOLLOWERS KEEP ON INSULTING US.
There is nothing to chill for yo !!
Things were messed up,, requires fixing ASAP
Joseph – Yes he made promises and how long has he been in “power”?
When they were saying yo Bally will fix it they thought it was a joke….even Zambian watchdog has already given up on HH…now they’re asking him to start acting like a republican President not a baby yo Bally President….where are jobs…Cement still expensive…how much is mealie meal
He has already clocked 10 days. He still has 90 days before we can assess his probation period.
What you politicians dont realise is that zambians can no longer be taken for granted. Get to work as mature adults in opposition, not personal attacks on other people and cheap politiking, that type of thinking is the thing of PF era and its what made the UPND to take over. With much respect to all the opposition, my appeal is to let man(HH) of the moment do his job without distractions,he said he,l fix it, so move aside and learn something from him as he fixes things instead of shooting empty bullets.
For that the keep getting f00led by the impostor troll from the UK… this is the real Kaizar Zulu (he is now a destitute as you can see). The real one was fired long time ago by corrupt d!cta0r ECL. Do you think this guy even knows how to type Lusaka Times?

Hahaha ,saying ati “stop putting Zed in a fix” . Look who’s talking here after his own PF put Zambia in a deep hole for 10yrs.
“Mr Given Lubinda ought to understand that running the government of Zambia under the astute (of) newly elected President Hakainde Hichilema will be a significant departure from and no longer akin to, the way his defeated PF party mismanaged the country’s affairs. The former “injustice” minister should come to terms with reality that the days of pillaging our resources as cited in the credible Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) report, the purchase of fire tenders at astronomical prices, the honey bee scandal etc, are now firmly behind us. Lubinda must understand that provision of free education is very possible when the leadership prioritizes service delivery and not amassing wealth for personal gain as the case was in his fallen regime,” Major Ben Phiri explained.
“To put the matter in context, in Uganda there is a program known as Universal Primary Education (UPE) which is wholly funded by the government for purposes of enabling learners’ access free primary education. Riding on the success of the UPE the government introduced the USE (Universal Secondary Education) which functions on the same principle as the UPE.” Ben Phiri
He advised Lubinda to give the new government time to implement its policies. “Lubinda should know that the UPND manifesto implementation phase will be rolled out when H.E. President Hichilema unveils his cabinet along with other constitutional office holders. Further, Lubinda must be aware that his defeated party PF will never come back to power following its disastrous performance in the last seven years. It’s only here in Zambia where we saw someone with a certificate in growing cereals and vegetables “given” a lofty appointment in a sensitive ministry to do with legal matters,” said Major Phiri. “President Hichilema will definitely fix the economy once he completes assembling his team.”
Zambians…Let’s be real and truthful. The problem is we are short sighted and what is disheartening we forget so easily. It is stupidity in the highest to start blaming the pf party because they are not the ones who made those promises to the people of Zambia, The upnd government did made the promises to the people of Zambia therefore it’s prudent that the upnd government fulfills what was promised
1. Fuel per meter K5
2. Millie meal K 50
3. Free education from grade 1 to University
4. Fertilizer K 250
etc
SOME I D 1 0 T S Expect promises to happen in a couple of weeks
wait 6 to 9 months before shouting your mouths off on here
also know not even your GODS could solve the damage PF as caused so quickly
Does Lubinda recall PF’s promise of “more money in your pocket in 90 days” ?? That was 10yrs ago and your party never kept the promise you hypocrite.
Iwe chi Kaizar zulu please stf*u and respect president HH he’s better for Zambia after the 10yr disaster of PF.
PF is the worst thieving government we have ever had in Zambia!
I don’t know were this idiocy comes from, if you owe someone K1,000,000 which you have failed to pay and you are able to buy groceries and other things for your family that means you are not broke? how can you think like that, very elementary and mediocre thinking.
Bo Lubinda gearing up to lead PF – ooh my foot ! Mark my words, you will be beaten by your own Cadres again. PF is nothing but a Party for criminals. In the coming months a lot more will be revealed and the country will be shocked – what a thuggery government they had. But as usual they will claim victimization and persecution.
Let’s wait and see how Hh will fix the economy
Of worked a lot like putting up new roads, clinics, hospitals, schools, defence force houses, police houses ,bridges, and many more
On a serious note we wasted time with Lungu as President of this Country.
Leave our humble President alone. He has taken development to all corners of the country and made donations to most churches.
