MMD chairman for legal affairs and former vice president George Kunda has accused Republican President Michael Sata of using his instruments of power to intimidate his political opponents.
Mr. Kunda during a media briefing in Lusaka today said the MMD will have brace itself for hard times this year because the PF is a vindictive government which is dedicated to vengeance, retribution and an eye for eye principle.
The former vice President has also claimed that President Sata’s New Year massage to the Zambian people on Saturday was characterized with attacks and threats which spoiled the New Year festivities for individuals like him.
Mr. Kunda has further observed that the PF is most unlikely to provide good democratic governance because of its alleged selective fight against corruption targeting certain individuals.
At the same occasion MMD’s Situmbeko Musokotwane said the MMD is proud to have scored a number of economic successes the time it was in office.
Dr. Musokotwane notes that the single digit inflation rate and the anticipated economic growth that the country recorded in the year 2011 were as a result of the MMD’s good economic policies.
The former finance minister noted that there is need for the PF government to restore investor confidence saying most of the potential investors are holding on to investment because the current government has not given assurance of the good and favorable investment climate.

Good guys.stand up and fight back.
Every message here sounds rubish from these crookes. Everytime they talk they sound like they have nothing to say. SHAME!
red lipped snake, just be strong and face the consequencies as they come. you want this govt to just ignore your bad governance that you and your rb subjected us to? you were warned but never took heed. you even removed abuse of office clause so that you loot big time. pf govt. make sure that you deal with all those that partook in stealing and lock them up. i will be back!!
intresting how people select to ignore their past undertakings———09/11/2007 Sata,s passport withdrawn with immidiate effect , Sata was questioned and cautioned by the police GK not using their instruments of power??, Remember that day ba Kunda—what goes around comes around, but please trust my word HE MCS is not a vengeful man, you chaps would have broken bones if it was another man in plot 1
When are they going to be given prison garb and cells in which they can start farting with pleasure?
Imwe fipuba, it is not intimidation. Just get ready for Chimbokaila.
Hahahaha, Ba George ati the speech was full of threats and it spoiled the mood of festivities for people like you!!!!How many times did you have to visit the loo??? Mwasakamana sana shani apapene boss???If you are clean, your works will be seen and your character exonerated, chill DMY (don’t mess yourself)
These MMD thieves also should just shut up over vindictiveness and other complaints. We want them arrested and jailed for stealing so much from us.
AN EYE FOR AN EYE! YOU ARE FULLY AWARE OF HOW BAD YOU TREATED YOUR OPPONENTS BUT YOU WANT TO BE TREATED GOOD, IS THAT FAIR REALLY.
AND ON SATA USING HIS POWERS TO INTIMIDATE YOU IS A THOUSAND TIMES FAIR AS COMPARED TO RB WHO USED HIS POWERS TO ALLOW YOU AND HIS MINISTERS MISUSE PEOPLES MONEY. DONT COMPLAIN AND AND BEAR IT. REMEMBER THE ABUSE OF OFFICE!
Ba kunda te massage ni message.Â
Chiuzani chimambala ,kabwalala nambala wanu chi Micheal Devil Satana.
@Smoking Gun you are a fool chikala cho
Gk you talk too much,one day you wil error and say,’we thieves’, Musokotwane shut up because you wil quit MMD after your planned conversion.
George atlleast only this year your New year celebration was spoiled. for the majority it has been spoiled ever since you got into government. We ought to admit that you took advantage of your offices gentlemen.i have proof and will unleash it very soon.
George Kunda, maybe you should have locked up some of these characters when you were in office, they are bad for democracy. Anyway, now that you have learnt the hard way I am sure you will do the same to them when you get back to power….kekeke
What goes around comes around. You thought you were clever and you sent Sata to prison for 40days and changed the law on motor vehicle to a non bailable offence. As if that was not enough you removed the abuse clause to suite you interests. Well anachokela kuti wamene uyu mambala you would call your friends with your boss. All Sata wants is for you and your boss RB to feel how comfotable chimbokaila is, so brace your selves ha ha ha ha ha ha ……ohohohohohoh.
MMD still in shock and denial of their loss. Just shut up and enjoy your families before you go to prison ba george. As for Musokotwane, just enjoy the 1000+ bicycles you claim are for ‘personal use’ – you might just need one of them to ride to Chimbokaila. And Mutati is making a big fool of himself by his continued association with these id…ts – none of them will ever rule Zambia forget it, mwa sila manje. Leave politics to the younger ones – power is sweet hey!!!!
MR KUNDA, YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT FEAR YET THAT IS HOW YOU HAD THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIVING FOR THE DURATION OF MMD POWER, NEARLY 2 DECADES. YOU KNOW FINE WELL THE HOPE OF SEEING JUSTICE THROUGH MR SATA IS THE ONLY REASON SOME OF YOU ARE STILL HERE. YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR HOLIDAYS BEING RUINED YET YOUR POLITICIANS STEALING MONEY I’D WORKED FOR CAUSED DEATHS BECAUSE I DIDN’T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR MEDICINE AND THE MATTERS WERE STILL IN YOUR CORRUPT COURTS. YOUR THEFT COST ME THE LIVES OF FAMILY INCLUDING TWO OF MY CHILDREN AND NOW YOU WANT FORGIVENESS? HOW DARE YOU EVEN SAY AN EYE FOR AN EYE WHEN WE ALLOW YOU TIME WITH YOUR CHILDREN THAT YOU NEVER ALLOWED US. MR SATA IS TRYING TO HELP AND CORRECT WHAT MMD DID BUT DON’T GET COMFORTABLE THINKING WE TOLERATE POLITICIANS LIKE WE USED TO.
The truth iz often very painfull, especially if it concernz you somehow. Yes it can even spoil your New Year celebrationz.
Kunda kosafye.You yap almost on anything.
Ok, let us for once agree with the MMD. BUT, what is their response to the alleged acts of corruption that are being reported day in and day out? It is not enoughg to call this a witch hunt and selective, the question that people want answered is, ‘did you steal or did you not?’ It is no good telling a policeman who arrests you, ‘I am not the only one. Why not the others?’ You have to answer for your own self. For MMD to survive, you need a ‘strong man’ to lead the party. RB knows state secrets and he may not be easy to push over by Sata. He also has immunity from prosecution so the best chance for MMD to survive as a party is to re-elect RB. Nevers will be in court. Mutati will be chasing the video. Muteteka is a PF plant.
George Kund should be last person to complain, he was a black sheep in both the Mwanawasa and RB administrations. He was not onyl arrogant but also antagonistic to the public and loved pushing through unpopular policies and decicions. He should even be appreciative that he can be gievn space by the newly liberated ZNBC in a walk in interview, otherwise he should leave the Pf to cleanse the mess he left!!!
It was heart-breaking to hear a most frightening Presidential New Year speech on ZNBC TV. Yes, President Sata’s New Year massage to the Zambian people was characterized with attacks and threats on perceived political opponents. In the civilized world a Head of State is expected to give a lot of assurances to the nation; expected to encourage hard work to realise meaningful development; expected to encourage farmers to grow a diversity of crops; expected to give a fatherly advice to the youth and mothers of the land; expected to give assurances of cultivating good relationships with other countries in Africa, and SADC states in particular. But ALAS! Ba SATA WENT ON A VICIOUS WITCH-HUNTING SPREE TO THREATEN CITIZENS OF ZAMBIA – ESPECIALLY POLITICAL OPPONENTS. The future is bleek indeed.
GOLDEN RULE: “DO UNTO OTHERS…….” LUNDENIPO!
Mulekeni sata atekeeeeeee.. Mwalamwenako ba kolwe
The selfsame “instruments of power” you gave him via your constitution!!
the wolf # 23 we are not in the civilized world and who says we would like to be civilized. the civilization that we have now is enough ifyakukopa efituletelela let us do things our own way. why shd a nu year’s message made by MCS be like that of Obama y?
but comrade george niwa manta,so he must have wiwid in his bombasa over sata’s sms.the guilt are always afraid,it is said.
Ba MMD batampa ukupena they thought tabakafumepo pa GRZ.ifyabupuba kuli RB,after mwatwibili ama billion u even have courage ukutuka ba Sata.Kunda be careful u are sick man
Have some respect. Bring out constructive arguements and not insulting someone who is your father`s age group.Young Zambians should learn to respect their elders like the Nigerians do.
In fact he is using the same instruments of power that you were using on others, so what’s wrong with that? It was good for you and now its bad for sata. You are saying ZDA was wrong to have used proceeds from zamtel sale to pay your firm 100million ks, and Musokotwa’s co. was selling bricks to tha pepsi co.  You really think we are fools,this time we want you to feel how we feel when we go without food, drugs,school fees and you sycophants, bootlickers, charlatans, zombies want to tell us how we should proceed with your cases? Wait there is the  infamous constitution review commission 50billion ks. You will sweat until you sweat no more.
Even if we hurt the MMD for what they did, our focus should be to build a nation of law and order. Mob justice will not take us anywhere. Let these guys be innocent until proved guilty. If Sata is not fighting corruption fairly then every Zambian should be concerned. We want laws and proper enforcement of laws. Otherwise we risk being called a Kaponya nation.
Ahh, who said they were guilty/
Hahahaha hehehe Kunda has fallen. A once powerful and vicious man in Zambia has been reduced to a nonetity. He is wiwing in his pants like a kid. Kunda please be strong man. Dont waiste time ranting, but prepare for court appearance. No Zambian will have mercy and symphathy on you MMD devils. You killed many Zambians you devils. Stole from poor Zambians without mercy but now you want Zambians to rise to your help. Uselless Kunda and your fellow MMD fellows. If I were Sata I would have put you in jail asap.
Mr GK it is a treason offence to try and usurp the powers of the Executive. hahaaha. it is not vindictive but the powers of the Executive u once talked about when u had it just about 3 months ago. this so called vindictive man was abused in every angle including by hired mercenaries like Chanda Chimba III. as if that was not enough brochures of hatred where printed in good numbers and distributed at every rally portraying  Sata as the devil in incarnation. anyway let the people with good memories judge for themselves as to who is vindictive.
bafikalah mwalikosa,no money in your pockets yet but muchili mulesamwa.baliminyunya mwanya.
Ukafwa nabwima boyi
The govt is there to protect the poor from greedy leaders, who take advantage of them to steal from them , therefore there is no reason that the president should stop casing the plunderers, that is why zambians voted for him it is because of people like ba Kunda etc etc.
@34 policies do not take efect overnite if thats what you think then you know nothing boi..wooo wawa.
The MMD government has set a very high bar for the PF government and no amount of intimidation can erase that part of history. Zambia’s debt reduced from US$7.2Billion to US$635 Million was a major achievement and in terms of macro economic stability no country in SADC can match with Zambia. Again Mr Sata needs to quickly behave himself and conduct himself like an adult. Mr Sata needs to create at least 3 million jobs as he promised in the election otherwise he has no chance of matching the MMD record.
Banda was worse at this…
#23 In a civilized society politicians do not steal to enrich themselves at the expense of the suffering masses. In a civilized society they do not re-write the constitution every other year with clauses to bar others from taking part in the elections.
Zambia is a third world country with very few signs of civilization. With a monorail from Livingstone to Ndola and you call that civilization!!! As long as politician get into positions to enrich themselves rather than serve the people, you will not get close to civilization. Some of the former ministers in MMD never even owned a teaspoon, now they can drive a expensive SUVs. Where did Dora Siliya get her wealth from, when she has never owned any businesses or had any inheritance? Did she got something from Folotiya after being divorced?
Number 5 though you have not necessarily said something bad, really wonder why you called yourself SDA. whether you are a pastor or member, I really feel we should desist from using the nname of the SDA church like that. There is nothing in this article that warranted the church to comment. Please in the name of christ desist from playing like that.Â
These guys still have some money to buy tok time and drive to some place to hold a press conf. Very soon you will be footing along Cairo road.You THIEVES
CRUEL MAN: Niwebo ng’wang’wazi zoona. Language. One wonders how u even feel qualified to call others kaponyas. Chalikukalipa sana. Ukailkulike fye boyi.
Things are rough for MMD. No money no influence.
Look who is talking? during your tenure you chose to look away.You are such a hypocrite and
coward; you’re quick to cry foul when it suits you; A disgrace to the legal fraternity/clan.
Ba Kunda, I wonder how you held two major positions in the MMD government: Vice President and Minister of Justice. If you are innocent let the law take its course and you will have the last laugh. We trusted you to bring justice in the country. What we know is you altered many policies and laws to suit you and your friends. What we did not know is how much plunder you did. Whether you are taken to court or not, we just need to know how much you abused your offices. What I also know is the your legal conscience battled within you and you had to remove the abuse of office clause to put your conscience at rest. For now just accept the leadership style of HE MCS. Umulandu taubola. Let the citizenry get justice you denied them. Our money. We need to know where it went.
The Damage caused by these Bustards will take a long time to repair and heal!! Lets tighten our belts ladies and gentlemen!! Zambia panka nefwa!! Mwelesa Tunfewni fewbana benu!
Remember…
“the corruption of Frederick Chiluba’s 10-year-rule was a joke when compared with the theft of public resources in just three years of Banda’s government”
you THIEVES and CROOKS have to pay for your LOOTING !!!
MR KUNDA, THE POSITIONS YOU HELD IN GOVERNMENT MEANS THE BUCK STOPPED WITH YOU AND MAKE NO MISTAKE, YOU WILL ANSWER FOR YOUR CRIMES. IF THERE’S JUSTICE YOU WILL KNOW THE VERY SUFFERING YOU CAUSED ON INNOCENT PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES JUST LIKE THE WAY YOU WROTE IT. STOP DISGUSTING US WITH YOU PATHETIC INSECURITIES OR RAMBLINGS WHEN WE ALL KNOW YOU WERE NEVER MAN ENOUGH TO STAND UP AGAINST CORRUPTION EVEN WITH 2 POLITICAL POSITIONS
time will tell..what goes round comes round..
Single digit inflation is as a result of HIGH COPPER PRICES you *****s. And yet you have an economist in your midst but you choose to deceive the unsuspecting public. MMD is now a victim. Red lips you new year was ruined on September 20th not January 1st 2012. I hate these guys. If PF starts behaving like MMD I’ll come and take over running the country period!
Am sick of all this!! Mushota pass the puke bucket, love.
And what are the two footballers doing behind the politicians in the picture, they should be training for the the AFCON in the next few weeks. What is happening to MMD, the party we entrusted running of our country all these years? They go on to parade a guy who looks like Malema (RSA embattled ANC youth chairman) at their sympathy scouting press conference after they looted the country. And who is the guy making a stupi.d gesture standing next to the footballers? MMD you need to disband immediately, you are a disgrace to politics the world over including the race to White house going on currently. I hate you!!
The more I look at the picture the more angry I get. Why is Mutati looking like he wants to swallow something? And why is Musokotwane looking passionately at Kunda as if he wants to propose so that they can have a civil ceremony? I thought that these are the guys who campaigned against the rights homosexuals in Zambia. Dora Siliya used her sexual appetite and sexual tactics to try and stay in power. The photo annoys me when I can’t see the 8th guy in it. All I can see is his arm and shoulder. Is MMD parading the footballers so that Zambians can decide which jersey Chipolopolo can wear at the Nations cup tournament? Yes let’s wear the Real Madrid one and we can bring the cup home. We are a sick nation!!
Field Ruwe (UK Zambians website contributor) form a parallel diaspora Zambian Govt. We can get away with it, unlike the Barotse Royal Establishment who are in a ‘Weak position’. Field, Sorry Mr. Ruwe (your excellency), I will be the Government spokesman. We can even run the country remotely! The citizens will just do as we tell them.
#37 you are stupi.d MMD did not reduce Zambia’s debt, some of it was canceled because we Zambians were seen to be behaving well and as part of the HIPC (Highly Indebted and Poor Countries scheme during THE GREAT MWANAWASA’s zero torelance to corruption rule. With THE GREAT SATA continuing from where Mwanawasa ended all the debt will be wiped out and we should automatically see other countries owing us money without doing anything, just fighting our own corruption!
