No Amount of Political or Tribal Talk will Divert My Agenda to Fight Corruption-HH

Share

President Hakainde Hichilema has said that no amount of political talk will divert his agenda to fight corruption among people that stole from Zambians.

President Hichilema said that those suggesting that the fight against corruption is tribal are trying to use the assertions to detract the attention of Zambians, from the corruption fight.

The Head of State said that the topic of tribalism is buried because it was a failed political strategy that was used by the PF to win elections but Zambians rejected it, adding that he remains focused to ensure everything that was stolen from Zambians is recovered.

The Head of state was speaking shortly on arrival from Monze yesterday.

Earlier in the day, President Hakainde Hichilema said that no one should be allowed to divide the country and that national unity will enhance development and help attain economic independence.

Mr Hichilema said that it is important for Zambians to work hard so that the poverty levels are reduced; adding that Government is determined to ensure it is eradicated.

Speaking during the Samu Lya Moomba ceremony in Monze District, President Hichilema said there is need to correctly rewrite the history of Zambia.

He said Samu Lya Moomba like many other historic sites should never be forgotten because it is a reverence to Zambia’s’ political history which will allow all citizens never to forget who they are and where they are coming from.

And President Hichilema said the UPND Administration is realigning the way public resources are managed and that during his tenure, he will ensure resources are taken to constituencies because it will make development easier to attain.

PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema writes down notes as Chief Nalubamba presents his concerns. This was when the President met chiefs of Southern Province at Choongo Inclusive Secondary School in Monze yesterday.

Meanwhile, Southern Province Minister Cornelius Mweetwa said the Samu Lya Moomba ceremony is significant in the political history of the country.

Mr. Mweetwa said President Hichilema has demonstrated that he is keen on reuniting the country by his visits to freedom-fighters gravesites.

He said the Head of state has also appointed ministers that represent every province.

The Provincial Minister also praised President Hichilema for waging war against corruption and putting an end to cadreism and violence saying he has shown that he can walk the talk.

He also said the 2022 proposed National budget is a translation of what President Hichilema promised during campaigns which among them is free education and rural development.

And Chief Choongo has thanked President Hichilema for gracing the ceremony.

And Community Development Minister Doreen Mwamba said Zambians are tired of those that have continued to champion tribalism because they are focused on seeing development.

And Small and Medium Enterprises Minister Elias Mubanga thanked President Hichilema for fighting tribalism and bringing sanity in the country.

Mr. Mubanga said Zambians are happy that they can freely move without being harassed by any political cadre.

  1. Have you seen the s@t@n1k symbol.

    Which attention when the whole country knows you are targeting Bembas: Amos Chanda, Chishimba Kambwili and Dr. Chilufya are very few good examples of bembas

    Can you mention a Tonga who has been investigated.

  4. Lets not bring tribal issues, its our colleagues from Luapula, Northern, Muchinga and Eastern provinces who where then holding the levers of power and they acted with impunity disregarding laid down procedures in their execution of duty, They committed crimes not based on their tribes but in their individual capacities. True Zambians all over the country suffered at the hands of these greedy colleagues and they should be answerable for their misdeeds. When I willfully commit a crime and brought to book my tribe should not arise but should be held as an individual. Its a warning even to our colleagues have been appointed to various govt positions in the new dawn administration to ensure they don’t find themselves compromised like was the case with former PF officials in less than 10 years…

What HH is doing is over whelming the rejected parties, so you will see a lot of hate and negative attacks against him on these bloggs by a minority paid to post, but hey steadfast things are happening, I was amazed the other day, I went to intercity bus terminus what a horde of fresh air, getting on a bus to home in Chipata and imagining that constituency development fund will follow me

  10. What a piece of joke and hypocrite from person of presidency! You were voted by the ‘Clique’ and today you call them tribal people. Let’s roll and see.
    Significant amount of corruption was committed at privatization of our corporates during which time Mazoka went to bed with MMD and you were a Mazoka boy handling all sorts of corruptions. ati I am a colossal mind, no chap you are a dander head.

  14. Let me say this to you: In 2026, Luapula, Northern, Eastern and Muchinga will yield a voting patter similar to that exhibited in the 3-provinces 2021.

  15. He got what he wanted. He became president so why should he worry about what he calls you. Come 2026 I don’t know what tact he will use. Maybe change the Constitution to extend the term to ten years? Maybe just so. To say the truth, I was very disappointed when I watched that clip especially when his supporters try to change the English language to his defense.

    The tribal supremacists still can not belive they are being presided by a tonga from bweengwa …………

    Shocking that some think because they are bembas they can’t be investigated and jailed if found wanting…….wait and see….

Wait until the CDF starts to really kick in and people are in tune. Its going to happen. The first to run will be Lubinda. He is a runner, remember before Sata passed Lubinda was in the dust bin, Edgar brought him back.

  19. HH is the President of Zambia, now that hurts them to bits. They called him under 5 and he trounced them like pulp, but we knew they were under 2s. 2026 again, that time beat them by over 2 million votes maybe they will even stop bloging by then, even in a war defeated rebels normally have some stubborn soldiers remaining called remnants, these bloging here attacking HH are just PF remnants

  20. We know now that your target is to persecute other tribes. We thought you were a good person alas you have proved to us that you only care about your tribe. Insulting other tribes is not a solution. Stop your hatred of other tribes.You talk too much about tribes.You have fired all directors from northern and eastern region but have left Tongas in these institution despite them being part of corrupt people we voted out.God is watching and history will repeat itself bcz you’re not being honest.

  21. #5: The Prince, yes it takes a ninja to know a ninja. Edgar was a good guy though you guys from 3 provinces hate him. There is nothing that you will appreciate about him.

    The changing pattern will change in 2026. You are splitting this country like no one’s business. My family regrets for having voted a s@t@n1ct

    • Edgar was properly shown the door and is gone, buried and forgotten in the political history of Zambia. PF is history, even MMD will try, PF is gone the UNIP way ,Your family is not Zambia. and their votes don’t count , we can even refund your votes from you and your family,and still maintain our over 1 million votes win, Can you do us a favour by licking your wounds in silence. Expect more and bigger walloping in 2026, what you are saying is what you were saying even before elections, learn to learn or atleast pretend you are learning

  22. I know HH and his government want to change things and he means it when he says neither Political nor tribal talk will sway him but I really hope the ERB and ZESCO boards have been dissolved because we cant have power outages literally every week in 10 miles, 6 miles, Barlastone park,Chazanga,Chibombo,Chipata,Chunga,Kabanana,Kabangwe,Ngwerere,Mungule, Zani muone . Guaranteed every week they will be a power outage in all the 52 weeks of the year in these areas

  24. God is so faithful to allow you to govern this nation otherwise you were ready for tribal war if yo lost elections in 2021..Show us what u can do for this nation instead of insulting innocent people who never benefited even thru privatization of our resources. We don’t live longer on this earth. Therefore do what’s right for the people not to start revenging in the name of tribe and praising yourself as if you’re the best.No way….. we are a united Zambia. It’s so disappointing Mr. President the way you’re trying to justify your hatred toward certain people.

  25. Is it also tribal that North Western Province overwhelmingly voted for the UPND?

    The PF did have an M.P in Livingstone under Sata.

    The MMD was in control of most of North Western Province until the UPND swept the province recently.

    The PF lost ground in some parts of Northern Province and the UPND took advantage of that and got MPs there.

    The growth or popularity of the UPND has been gradual.
    The UPND has managed to hold on to their strongholds in Southern and Western province.

    The PF too has its own strongholds in Muchinga, Luapula and Northern provinces. Even Eastern province was a PF stronghold until recently.

    Strongholds are very important in politics and they are even more critical to hold on to.

    So No, it has nothing to do with tribalism. Although some people…

  27. This Tribalism cry is not new. Thieves have no shame and are ready to fight to the last moment. The same Thieves did exactly the same to Mwanawasa when he fought Chiluba’s corruption. They referred to him as coming from a small tribe therefore cannot be President of the Country. They think they are superior and untouchable.

    @Saulosi and Deja Vu, I used to think you guys had some remnants of intellect and maturity in you, but I now see that you are just a bunch of spineless sycophants with no integrity whatsoever. You criticize everything related to HH and UPND, and even swearing and being childish. From now onwards I will put you on the same level as the tr0ll from the UK and will not respect you or what you write. Unbelievable!

  30. Difficult situation! Am really feeling for our people, especially the average citizen who just wanted change to a better Zambia, regardless of tribe of the leader. Now, unsettling doubts are creeping in, and the President, by tribe profiling certain communities, is not helping his position. I think he is at risk of missing a big opportunity to unite and turn round this country. A shame really, but, there is time yet; it’s never too late to correct an error…as long as no one dies before you realise your error!

  31. Sociologically a tribe is considered as a primitive social organization that is cemented by culture, language and the ”we feeling”. So when a clique of our tribesmen are attacked rightfully or wrongfully, ”we are attacked”. When the clique is ruling, ”we are ruling”. When the clique is at the table, ”we are at the table”. It is on this premise that millions of Africans are each year drawn to fight and die for their tribal cliques to continue enjoying. Probably Dr M’membe can explain this better to our people.

  32. If you know any theives from other tribes ,Report them to the ACC , DEC and Police……….

    What is the problem of investigating people suspected of looting and corruption ?

  33. HH must explain to Zambians why his people from southern province Vote , as if they are poisoned only voting for only one Tonga man I wonder what is happening in that province what is their agenda can someone explain to us as it is bizarre to have people who think like that.
    It is immoral for those people in southern province , it is equally wrong for those and un acceptable for people from Eastern, Luapula , Muchinga , Northern, Central and Copperbelt to give a vote to this bigoted Tonga, they shouldn’t repeat what they have done it is immoral .
    This must be the last time to do this rubbish it is stinking , stinking and rotten , Zambians must start thinking with their heads.

  34. @ 35. NSHILIMUBEMBA. Voting for a President is a very serious matter my brother. For me it is not out of tribal hate but thinking where I and my family will be after the 5 years of someone in power. Never shall I experiment my future in the hands of an Adult Player in the name of being seen to balance tribal votes. It does not actually make sense.

  35. Nshilimubemba, whatever… why do you have an issue with people from Southern Province? Is it hard for you to notice that Northwestern province gave UPND highest percentage vote beating even southern? Your tribal narrative will take you nowhere. The millennials have nothing to do with the tricks you tribalists have been using for years inZambia. After HH, we will vote for a Ngoni, Timbuktu, Lamba, Nkoya, Namwanga, Luvale etc as long as s/he has an agenda to transform Zambia economically and not an ***** tribalist who has nothing in the head except s/he has a big voting tribal block behind her/him!

  36. #30 With a long name. You want me to support HH? Well he’s not short of supporters is he? One thing is I don’t tell lies about anyone so you certainly can’t accuse me on that. When the label says instant coffee it means instant coffee… when someone promises instant jobs for my nephew it should be so. That’s my bone of contention.

  37. Bijanga.
    What we are saying is that all Zambians must learn from southern province who are more civilized to vote like they do , that is the only way to go they are not tribal yes they are not that is why all provinces must emulate them they are doing a good job.
    Why don’t other provinces do the same why don’t they do the same it is still wrong for HH to go and campaign for votes from other provinces like eastern province when their own Lungu can not even get a single vote from southern province it is wrong and it must be the last time.
    No more let every Zambian learn from southern province they are doing a good job for mother Zambia.
    You may insult people but the rot is still there and one day it will blow up, if you are one of them please go and educate your people that…

    Do you mean that people from other provinces apart from the three provinces are the Mwankole , this is strange to say the least , mind you people are concerned about what these three provinces are doing, and it is worrying to all Zambian population Zambians as a nation must work together to change Zambia for the better but where people start thinking that they are better than other people from other provinces is not good.
    Zambia needs people who can unite this nation and generally Zambians are good people but there are selfish politicians who want to divide them for their own gain.
