Senior Chief Kalilele of the Lamba speaking people in Mushindamo district, North Western province,says President Hichilema and the UPND should not get angry whenever they are reminded about their campaign promises prior to the August 12 General elections.
Speaking when PF Vice President Given Lubinda paid a courtesy call at his palace, Senior Chief Kalilele said the people of Zambia will never forget the promises made by the UPND government.
He said it is thus prudent that those promises are honored if the UPND has the confidence of citizens.
” President Hakainde Hichilema made a lot of promises which some of them he might forget but the people will never forget and they are patiently waiting for their fulfillment,” Snr. Chief Kalilele said.
And the traditional leader urged the PF to move on after August 12 and focus on rebuilding the party and provide checks and balances to the UPND Government.
He said that as a traditional leader, he worked closely with the PF government but change came adding that people should accept it.
Senior Chief Kalilele explained that some of the policies of the new government will be good and some will be bad.
Meanwhile, Snr. Chief Kalilele advised the UPND to refrain from beating and harassing members of the PF as this will promote peace and unity in the country.
He disclosed said after the general elections he undertook a sensitization campaign urging the UPND members to remain peaceful.
And Hon. Lubinda said the PF government has respect for traditional leaders hence the reason it created the ministry of chiefs and traditional affairs which President Hichilema has abolished.
Hon. Lubinda assured traditional leaders in the country that once it bounces back in power PF will bring back the ministry.
Everyone now understands that all the promises were fake…HH and UPND are just a bunch of liars….loadsheding continues,no jobs for the youths, fuel and food still very expensive….the economy is getting worse and more kaloba is coming
UPND promised that workers will no longer wait until retirement age to get their NAPSA contribution but can get a certain percentage before attaining retirement age.The UPND is now silent over the issue. Honour your promises twapapata!
In my beautiful language we say UMUNWE BALAYA UMUSUNGA WASHALA UWAKONKOMANA. The child who has been promised a new pair of shoes by its father will remain expectant. After all that is the reason people vote… hope to change their lives for the better.
#2 Cony I am yet to hear the Upnd leaders talk about repealing the Public Order Act as one of its top of list of promises.
I feel people following up on campaign promises even before budget presentation are mentally ill. The man has five years. We who voted for him are cool with him taking his time. PF chaps who we gave ten years to destroy the country want HH to fix what they destroyed in one month. Tebusushi ubo?
Whilst in opposition in 2011, the PF under Ba Yama Michael Chilifya Sata, (MHISP) promised to reduce fuel prices once in Government.This come fruition .Within a week after assuming office H.E. M.C.Sta reduced fuel pump prices.
Now this Hakainde he has failed to actualise his promises except for cadres in stations partl;y. Bwana you are just talking too much with no action as if you are still in opposition…Tefintu!
Even though i am not into politics too much,I feel we are suppose to give ba kateka about 6 months for us to see the direction he is taking us to.
He’s a liar, through and through.Hes lied that he and family are vaccinated , he has failed to show us proof.Not even a ka picture !
We used to tell Given and his colleagues why as PF we were going to loose elections and he was not listening therefore is a bad leader, I hope the friend who is doing the post mortem report will put it in her report that we the PF members do not want Given to lead us
Tell them Papa. They told lies all to gain power. Zambians will regret it. I even have some upnd friends saying they are going to enrich themselves more than the pf did.
Iwe Ka Kaizar nkhala pansi mambala
For the avoidance of doubt and for those trying to mislead others, UPND has a five year mandate, you can only say they have not implemented their promises after five years So stop your feeble psychological warfare, infact just disband as Zambians rejected you wholesomely
All our promises are intact, we will be unleashing them within our five years as per our UPND plan, we will not cow down to pressure because we are not under any pressure
HH is our God given saint, those who hate him with passion, hard luck
Infact if HH wants, he can sit idling for 4 years and fulfill his promises in the fifth year, it would still be in within his five mandate
Lubinda, still campaigning even after that walloping. Some people would have taken a much deserved holiday with their family to Victoria Falls or Senanga.
Talk about bein in denial, he’s still talking about bringing Ministry of Chiefs.
Come on people, let’s be serious with life… let’s be real as a individuals and as a country. Surely you want to judge UPND of breaking promises after just 1 month. This is being disingenuous and hypocritical! Man this country and most people in in it are as fake as they come.
Having said that I really think HH could easily score some few wins but instructing his cabinet and MPs to start moving motions like repealing Public Order Act (you don’t need archaic laws pike this one). Start scoring cheap items and silent these wannabe critics.
HH himself said within 2 weeks all his promises will be fulfilled…mambala has failed
Unrealistic, *****ic commentary. It explains quite a lot about why Zambia is where it is today.
Keep crying ba mumbwe,,take it or leave it.we are in control. We are still cleaning the mess your father left behind , then we will give you milk you’re crying for.
