Patriotic Front (PF) Luapula Member of Parliament, Peter Machungwa says opposition Patriotic Front (PF) leader, Michael Sata should stop criticizing the work of the National Constitution Conference (NCC).
Dr. Machungwa, who himself belongs to the PF, said Mr. Sata should instead blame himself for barring his Members of Parliament from participating in the NCC.
He said in Mazabuka yesterday that it is sad and strange to hear Mr Sata crying foul over the same process he has been opposing since its inception.
Dr. Machungwa said this when he featured on a live phone in programme dubbed ‘Live Wire’ at Mazabuka Community Radio Station.
He said Mr Sata has lost an opportunity to contribute to the constitutional making process by boycotting the process.
He charged that Mr Sata was not sincere because of his inconsistence on several issues affecting the nation especially after he supported the formation of the NCC during a meeting of all political parties with the late President Levy Mwanawasa.
Dr Machungwa observed that it was ironical for Mr Sata to complain about the adoption of certain clauses by NCC when his party boycotted the constitution making process.
He complained that Mr Sata has continued hurling insults and calling the 18 PF Members of Parliaments attending the NCC as rebels when they did not commit any offence.
Dr Machungwa however regretted that only 18 PF MPs are attending the NCC after 12 withdrew due to threats from the party authorities.
He urged Mr Sata to instead call the MPs, who have decided to boycott the process as rebels, because they have disobeyed the law requiring them to represent their members.
Meanwhile, the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) on Friday suspended sittings until April this year in order to facilitate for the resumption of sittings of the National Assembly.
Closing the 84th meeting of the conference, NCC Chairman Chifumu Banda thanked the delegates for their dedication and hard work they showed during the sessions.
Mr. Banda said while the conference has not concluded adopting all committee reports, a lot of work has been accomplished.
He stated that a number of reports have so far been concluded and adopted during the period of the conference.
He said some of the reports that have been adopted during the sitting are from the legislative committee and the democratic governance committee among many other committee reports.
Mr. Banda said the conference has made a lot of progress in adopting the human rights reports.

:((:(( Let me seat and read this story
SATA…………What a leader to follower
Whose interest is Machungwa advancing? Chimumbwa resigned and he was trounced.But atleast he had some respect.Chiluba is just using those losers
The blind folds are coming off. The real leader of the pact will soon emerge according to the plan that The Post put in place from the very beginning. Sata will be castrated and HH will emerge as the only credible leader of the pact. But will HH ever sell in Luapula and Northern provinces? 2011 elections will be very exciting.
Let Machungwa resign and recontest the same seat so that we see who will win. The people of Luapula are not fools. They will never ever vote such pipo that are busy fighting the PF leader instead of spearheading development. What have the rebels shown as development being extended to their constituencies by the MMD govt., they so dearly support? Machungwa will regret his actions, time to be in Parliament is now over for him.
no comment on this one
Machungwa, now listen. Only a fool would criticize the poor performance of an institution he helped form. If he did not support it, he has all the reason to get on the soapbox and yell his lungs out.
CHiluba is scared out of his skin and is so in love with) becoz he does not mind to be patronised by crooks. Zambia needs a leadership that has potential to root out corruption with one voice. How can a leader say that when they reduce tax on others, it shall come oo you. What is wrong with broadening the tax base and or rather makin all tax payers pay. MMD has a very wrong way of runnoing the govt. The law exists for the poor, MMD can break it willfully and the judiciary will just watch. The police exists for and to protect MMD and for armed robbers
This “Dr. Machungwa, who himself belongs to the PF, said Mr. Sata should instead blame himself for barring his Members of Parliament from participating in the NCC is a fair statement because Mr PF MC Sata has only himself to blame for his loss of grip on NCC recommendations.
However, let us see how things will go when the whole process is taken to Parliament.
Have a nice day.

Matt 6:33 but seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
I join millions of other noble patriotic Zambians in registering our gratitude for these fertile frontiers opening up as useful opportunities.Here is Sata going to the same justice system he has been defaming everywhere as courts of the MMD which are anti justice, corrupt, impossible to deliver justice and operating illegally.I have no doubt that these baseless suits of a cornered thug on raised grounds will be thrown out with cost.What a paradoxical sore loser loser embattled on all moral fronts.
Ba PF the problem is you are choosing to bury your heads in the sand. You insult Chiluba but when he insults back, mwafulwa. You talk about the right of speech but it should only be for a few people you like. Let Machungwa, Chiluba and all also talk. Why are you so fearful of Chiluba kanshi? If he is a crook, no one will vote a crook into power. If Mchungwa has no support in Luapula, no matter what he says, people of Luapula won’t vote for him. Why the panic?Please tolerate opposing views and practice democracy. Even fools have a democratic right to be who they are. Give them that right.
The MMD strategic campaign machinery with RB should instead stay steadfast around the country with national agenda of development, transformation and total stability.Let the devil incarnate stay entangled with his acts of aberrations.Let Zambians of noble character open him up more fronts. Nangu ichalo chalititwa, kuti twayonawina nechinangwa ichi for leadership? A chap who cannot read or write?
Does he receive the Eucharist after fathering 5 children with the first wife, then Kaseba and now Petronela Mpundu sister of His most outspoken Mpika Bishop? Who is Petronella Mpundu, a biological sister to Bishop Mpundu of the Catholic Church? Do you have any relationship with her? Are her two children Mukupa and Chilufya your children? Are you the biological father of Mukupa and Chilufya? Is it consistent with catholicism? Didn’t Bishop Mpundu know this which Sata has just accepted?
Why did he vehemently oppose the independence of Zambia in 1964 and worked oppressively for the his erstwhile masters as an oppressor constable against the progressive independence crusaders even when all Zambians had line-up pro-independence? Why did run away later on to the UK following independence only to be a cook and kaboyi for the same oppressors when patriotic Zambians he opposed were emancipating the country?
If he has a political science degree from Matero University, Why does he fail to write coherently minutes to the point of disgracing the entire party and landing a vote of no confidence?Why does he write in Taiwanese with comas from the beginning of a sentence and question marks in place of commas.Political Science is reading and writing intensive degree a person who fails to write cannot pull through.Hon.Mwaanga as SG of MMD had been timely submitting immaculately written party reports, Paul Tembo use use to and Dr.Katele does so all in English, but why this devil incarnate failure?
Why was he lying against his personal enemies to the President to get them deported as PNG when the State Security had found nothing wrong about those individuals? Was it his job to force people deported.Can he face innocent people he was framing up? He is likely to face these people now inn kind.
On return from his bukaboyi in London, did he join the Alice Lenshina’s Lumpa sect movement which was forcing urine and death on Zambians?
This is seorus u guys u have done a lot of history digging on Sata, bottom line we need new leadership. The current leaders are noise makers and all fall under the same net ” thieves”. We have good MMD leaders that can turn around the party and the country we should help them expose themselves and fight Banda, so is the same with PF. Twanaka ukufwa ifya bupuba from Ba Banda and Sata/HH, we have to spend time on developing the country not stealing money from the poor Zambians.

Senior Citizen
You are erritating. By the way, how much are paid to write hundred entries continuously. Although I not your fellow carder the speech by FTJ was childish and after thought. How did he allow a convict to serve in so many ministrial position.
PRESS Conference by former head of state should be sounded, economically, reconcilliation and not about English gramme for Sata. For what benefit?
He had even gone to the extent of attacking super KK who made me to undergo free EDUCATION,
BREAKING NEWS!
Petronella Mpundu, a biological sister to Bishop Mpundu of the Catholic Church and mother of Sata’s two children;Mukupa and Chilufya Sata an employee of the Bank of Zambia, Ndola branch has offered to testify in the courts of law that one Michael Sata on a hypocritical moral platitude is in active pigamy with her with full concert of the Roman Catholic Bishop Mpundu.Untill now she says Sata treats her as his third wife and sleeps with her whenever he is on the Ndola. And in national security data interest, the Government of Zambia is in retention of all Sata’s colonial Government Police background record which every President constitutionally accessed. Besides his failure to read and write, his colonial record is one ground why all President say he is a misfit for P1.

politics is for the poor. we the rich have better things to do. we dont depend on govt, govt depends on us…..
LOL. After reading the article, by the time you finishi reading all the blogs, you forget what the artcile is about as the blogs loose direction. To make a comment, you have to go back to the artcicle to remind yourself of the topic. I wonder whether this is funny.
Machungwa’s constituency us very rural. They will vote for him on whatever ticket, even as an independent. That’s rural areas for you.They vote for their own, not political parties.
SATA IDEAL FOR S-E-X THERAPY
Immediately all NGOs and the Catholic that give him Eucharist must work out a plan to take Michael Sata in for S-E-X THERAPY. He has proved to be a reckless s-e-x-u-a-l maniac enemy of the national anti HIV aids crusade. He is unfit for Plot 1. He would only take his –S-E-X-U-A-L perversion in there. He has to undergo some therapy to reform.
With bana Joyce Sata he had 5 kids without a record of divorce he went on to hock up ba Kaseba then Petronela Mpundu giving her 2 children not forgetting Joyce Nonde as a concubine.
He needs to go in a s-e-x chamber for reformation now. Before this he cannot enter plot one for fear of turning it into a s-e-x abattoir.
The question we should asking ourselves about this NCC is what is the process after they have put together the document? I have heard that it will go to the Minister of Justice who happen to be part of the NCC, then the Minister will table it to Parliament which happens to have 90% of its MPs on the NCC payroll. Now, what will they debate about the document they just put together themselves? That in simple terms is duplication and waste of time and process. These MPs have voted already and they stated their positions on the document, why waste our resources like we are all fools? Sata in this case was right as only his MPs that did not participate in this futile and expensive exercise will probably debate objectively on the product. All other are tainted by the money they got so far.
Patriot, is Sata is ideal for the therapy you purport he needs, What therapy would guess you are Ideal for? Man you have issues. I don’t think 1 doctor can operate on you. You will need more than 4 because 1 would come out as you are. Do you even have a pajama? Kwati nindoshi.
Unlike chimumbwa who rode on the PF bandwagon,machungwa took PFto luapula.so pf rode on machungwa’s popularity to win in luapula.in short machungwa can retain his seat without any one’s support
Dont underrate FJT, hes cooked Lier. Hes a dangerous fool
Senior Citizen is another pain in the A…, You are a MMD cadre and believe me if you were in employment like most of us and was able to see how much Ruphiah and his minions rip from us then you wouldnt be saying all the rubbish things you have said. i dont blame you my friend, its typical of MMD cadres used to brown envelope handouts. all our money is used for trips here and trips there unproductive for that matter. part of it is used to pay you out, while my sisters and brothers who really need the money wallop in poverty and some are dying in hospitals all because some foooooool like you is been paid for insulting. you *****
So long pathetic SENIOR (MMD CADRE) CITIZEN, grow up, see with eyes not your a…

The question also is,can FTJ himself write coherently?Machungwa is a shameless plunderer who should shut his big mouth.If he was a man of honour,why can’t he resign from PF and join MMD,then go stand in Luapula on MMD and prove your popularity.Sata himself has challenged FTJ and all you rebel MPs’ to resign then stand against Sata’s PF.What are you scared of;it’s coz you know the NCC and parliamentary allowances won’t come your way coz believe me Sata in Luapula will whip your black a$$£$.Machungwa,you are a foolish politician practising politics of the stomach,of too much poverty.Politics ya nsala,shame,shame..oh shame!!
Senior Citizen,let ask you this;what has changed in the lives of ordinary Zambians’ that they should vote for RB and his MMD?Tell the retirees have been paid,tell me simple drainage design in Lusaka is done,tell me there are drugs in hospitals,tell me therez decent employment in Zambia for the many young graduates,tell me the infrastructure planning policy for Zambia by 2030 that RB has done,tell me how RB will use the mineral wealth and potential to pull out Zambia and Zambians out of poverty,Tell me how Zambia will meet it’s energy demand and challenges by 2030,Tell how the single digit inflation and over 5% economic growth will translate into job creation,decent education,proper health care,social security,etc.With RB Zambia has indeed gone into a deep slumber!!!!
The PF camp can Should accept to be Criticized, Everybody has the right to freedom of speech, Chiluba only asked question, he never insulted anybody, PF leader is full of insults TIME AND AGAIN HE HAS INSULTED CHILUBA and for the PF camp this is good. Now that there leader has been only been asked question , PF camp is crying, LET YOUR LEADERS ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
PF always Insult RB and everyone looks at it to be normal.
I wonder very much if the opposition will ever uproot the MMD. cos they only target very few people who can BUY AND READ THE POST NEWS PAPER.
Sorry,meant to say let me ask you
Better,#36
When you say,few people buy the post newspaper could you please give us tangible figures.How many prints does the post newspaper do per day,how many do they sell out of this and compare with say Times of zambia and Daily Mail.Also,you can check,the post online,i think it gives the total number of people per article read,then compare those numbers with the Times of zambia online and Dail Mail online.Do that numerical comparison and confidently tell us that the post is read by few people.
I find #10. 12, 13, 14, etc ,Senior Citizen’s data very impressive to read…he must have done his homework well. Ba Pwando#11, I agree with your sentiments. In a democracy, each individual should have, among many other rights, the right to free speech regardless of such an individual’s opinions or political affiliation…and this, without fear of being labelled as an irritant or misfit.
Let me start by saying that senior citizen, you seem to be an educated illiterate. The questions from ka lazo which you want Michael Sata to answer are petty and childish. It shows that kamudala amano nay pwa completely. Thats the more reason we have said let him rest and enjoy his plundered money since RB has seen that to be alright with him. If i may i ask you, can FJT explain the circumstances which led to the divorce of his cuurent wife Regina? Let him tell the nation the truth because Mr Mwanza is still around. Did Mr FJT pay any compansation to Mr Mwanza? How did Paul Tembo die? What about Ronald Penza? Aka kamudala is evil if you did not know. The best for him is own up and give us break? We are tred of listening to his nonsense kakabwalala kamupamba.
