Patriotic Front party information and publicity chairman Hon. Raphael Mangani Nakacinda says President Hakainde Hichilema should realise that he is now the Head of State and should wake up from slumber.
Addressing the media in Lusaka, Hon. Nakachinda said President Hichilema should get down to work and start delivering on the campaign promises he made.
He said that now that the cabinet is complete and parliament opened, people’s expectations are very high.
And Hon. Nakachinda said President Hichilema’s did not have anything to tell the people of Zambia and the speech to parliament was a speech of wishes.
He said the Head of State should have used the day to bring to life the cocktail of promises he made prior to the August 12, general elections.
” Now that the Cabinet is complete and parliament is opened expectations are very high. I am shocked that the speech to parliament was full of repetition and difficult for stakeholders to follow. The speech never met expectations and will make it difficult for parliamentarians to debate,” Hon. Nakachinda said.
” The Head of State plagiarized former President Edgar Lungu’s speeches which he questioned that never carried directives but nothing has changed,” Hon. Nakachinda said.
” We expected the President to direct the minister of education to implement the free education as per promise,” he said.
And Hon. Nakachinda questioned the silence from the church following the abolition of Ministry of Religious Affairs and National Guidance.
He said the church should defend the Christian values of the country.
” The silence from the church following the abolition of Ministry of Religious Affairs is worrying. Because of trying to seek for jobs and favor the clergy is quiet, the clergy need to defend the values of the country, ” he said.
Meanwhile, Hon. Nakachinda said the UPND will lose popularity at a supersonic speed because of lies and vengeance on perceived PF sympathizers.
He said the continued harassment of PF members by the UPND should come to an end.
” The UPND should stop harassing bus drivers sympathetic to the PF. UPND will lose popularity at a supersonic speed because of the lies and vengeance, ” Hon. Nakachinda said.
Just Zip your Mouth Nakachinda. Let the president work for the Zambians in peace. Whether UPND loses popularity at whatever speed you may call it is not your concern. Don’t think that your loud mouth will bring back the dead PF to the corridors of State House. Ask UNIP or MMD.
Another one who’s head is full of human excrement………
How do you bring in free education on a PF budget and empty coffers ????..
To think this one and lusambo were given ministerial positions by lungu is frightening……what can such empty tins offer ???
Nakakunda you’re mad HH doesn’t sleep my friend he 24/7 awake.
Your tummies soon will deflate like chimpombwa.
We told you to put things in order. Bally is here to stay for 10 years.
Zambia Forward!
Throughout scripture God allowed the people what they wanted when they rejected his rule and chose their own way.
People turn to and come to know God in times of suffering. As bad as things may seem to have been in Zambia we had much more to be thankful for than any other country in Africa. Let’s pray and turn back to God before hardship comes upon us and forces us to do so. The politicization and satanization of the Church leadership in Zambia and its tolerance by people has brought us where we are today.
Mr. Nakachinda, you have the right to criticise and point out any issues of substance. That would help build our democracy and our country. But, do not be vague in your arguments. Please educate and give us the speech of ECL you claim HH plagiarized.
Avoid discussing issues in a vacuum. You were once a nominated MP. Your debates must have quality and substance.
What does NAKACHINDA mean in your language? Hope it is not an Ins………
HA HA HA
LUNGU SLEPT MOST OF THE TIME WHILST HIS GOONS RAN THE SHOW
HH HAS NOW GIVEN MORE PRESS BREIFINGS THAN LUNGU GAVE IN ALL THOSE YEARS
The quarrelsome attitude of this Nakachinda chap might point to a very bad up bringing. Look at the mess he caused in MMD. His language is un couth, lacks civility, a terrible bitter tone and just sheer visible lack of maturity. Can big people please tell him to sit down and sober up.
And imagine the guy was even a minister, anyway only in PF could such abnormal things happen
Stop making noise. I see why Nevers got rid of him. Thinking is like that of a Kaponya. Please find other things to do rather than make noise. Why is media even entertaining this clown?? LT please don’t publish anymore stories from this chap. Let him go please Lungu and PF in his home. Nobody can implement things within a few weeks in office. PF had 7 years to put more money in people’s pocket and nothing was done.
I don’t get Nakacinda’s argument. If HH and UPND Alliance lose popularity at supersonic speed is that not a good thing to PF? If this happens what is PF doing to take advantage of this devt? ECL and PF have just lost an Election so what are they doing to win back their former Popularity? The Gap of close to 1 million votes is too much to lose for a Ruling Party. What is PF going to do differently in 2026 that they failed to do in 2021 ? By-Elections are coming so what is PF going to do to win new seats and retain seats won? Just criticising the New Ruling Party will not endear PF to the Electorate. PF needs serious reforms to win back their former support or the Party dies like UNIP and MMD. The writing is on the wall. Þ
I do not support Nakacinda or PF but on this one, he is right. If HH does not do right by the people, such as the silly stance to keep PF aligned government officials in office this long, he will lose the next election.
THERE WAS NO MEAT ON THE BONES IN THE SPEECH IN PARLIAMENT. IT SOUNDED LIKE A CAMPAIGN SPEECH
Ha ha ha
Ati the speech to parliament was a speech of wishes.
That’s exactly as it should be.
The speech should explain his vision. What is a vision?
It’s a wish
PF was sleep walking Zambia without a vision from the time they took power to when they were voted out leaving them bamboozled.
Let PF also settle quickly into the new position of being an opposition party headed for extintion.
He has already delivered, there is no more abuse of public resources, the Police have now got their power which was in PF cadres n SANTY has returned and he’s only 2 weeks in office….so sit down nakacinda n enjoy the peaceful ride.
Media briefing…? Why doesn’t any of the reporters present ask some persistent questions to this lying Nakacinda? They just listen to what the guy has to say and go home! YOU ARE ENTITLED TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH! AND IF HE REFUSES TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, THEN YOU SHOULD LEAVE AND NOT PUBLISH ANYTHING!
Why doesn’t it have binoculars?
Melessiana Phiri,
There was no need for the President to acknowledge infrastructure that was not only fraudulently and poorly constructed, but also through which Zambia needlessly lost billions of dollars, leaving the country heavily broke and in deep debt.
It is sad and immoral that you can not accept the fact that PF borrowed and stole the same money that was meant for the so-called infrastructure development. They stole and shared the money which we saw being flaunted by PF cadres on social media. The infrastructure that PF did is substandard and only a person not in their right frame of mind can appreciate fake things.
Haa !!!! badala… are you for real. Please hug a transformer . Petty petty petty mwankole
Nanga wamene uyu Kachinda wa bantu ni cani kansi? Publicity fimo-fimo doesn’t mean public broadcasting weo! Mukateni uyo azatisewanya maningi … Kachinda, ukazikike weo! I go away for a short time and this is all I find. Awe mwe.
@ tikki, we are not interested in press conferences and presidential pronouncements. We want our leaders to point at what they have done. I feel ECL and PF left a lot that they can show for their time in office for to see. All this talk about Pf corruption must now be proved because otherwise it will look like opposition used this and deceptive promises and lies to win an election. So we want to see results and work and less talking.
Sorry we have repented Sir. We do not need that Religious Ministry any more. Brown Envelopes from the President are EVIL.
Checks and Balances where the Target is not responding could be frustrating …….
