Foreign Affairs and Tourism Minister Given Lubinda

Foreign Affairs and Tourism minister Given Lubinda has clarified that patriotic front secretary general Winter Kabimba has no position in government.

Mr. Lubinda says as far as he is concerned, there is no government declaration stating that Mr. Kabimba is third in government.

He says the only statement made by President Michael Sata made was that Mr. Kabimba will be third in protocol at state functions.

Speaking in an interview with QFM, Mr. Lubinda says President Sata’s statement does not in any way mean that the PF SG has a position in government.

He says people should not fall in traps being set by the UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema and MMD presidential aspirant Nevers Mumba, who he says are only cheating themselves.

    Given, you have become an imbecile since you left UPND. If he will be third at state functions, what does that make him??? UKWA is only scared to spell it out in back and white that Kabimba is Minister without portfolio because he knows it is unacceptable. Kabimba most likely is already on Government payroll abeit incognito.

      No 3. You are just jealous of the alert Zambian watchdog. After hearing from Given, can any well informed Zambian tell me who is the third in government? Given has failed to inform us. Am I right to guess that it is Alexander “the weak”?

    Why would a party official have third place in protocol at state functions?? Are we back to the days of the PIG (Party & Its Government)?? Lubinda, either you have lost it or you think Zambians are stupid.

      Kamwendo, wives of Presidents in civilised countries are acknowledged with their husbands, or immediately after their husbands. Wynter Kabimba’s position cannot be compared to the first lady. Kabimba should be totally ignored at state functions unlike if it’s a party function. Some of us non-partisan Zambians will not accept having a party functionary being pushed down our throats just because we happen to be attending that event.

    Nkaya mwandini. Wynter Kabimba and development any connection. We just want the economic activities to kick start not who will be number what. It is like talking is what people are voted for. Sata will however, may be start the economic engine soon except his cohorts are myopic and canternkerous. You people where is Kambwili?

    Bo Lubinda piliizi! Everyone knows what is going on. You’re trying to explain something that is self explanatory. Don’t waste your time killing a dead hopani. Piece of advice for free: next time display your intellect by explaining the difference between STATE and GOVERNMENT functions.

    Mr President, diid you know that your ascendance to power was not born out of a particular constituency of the Zambian society but an unanimous resolve by the Zambian people that no more were there going to be a govt wamuyayaya. Did you know that you’re not indebted to any particular somebody but the Zambian people. Whose interst is supreme and you Comrade President swore to defend and protect. The DBZ saga Comrade is a very serious as if not properly handled it’ll expose the duplicity in it’s actors. Moreover it’s gaining momentum and is attracting a lot of attention, especially the donor community who are anxious to ascert your legitimacy

    Kabimba’s status in PF Govt should have been clarified by either State House or the Republican Vice-President in the National Assembly. Given Lubinda’s response merely proves the extent of confusion in PF Govt. The guys have no clue on the meaning of PROTOCOL. The PF has transformed into a state when the mouth in the head says one thing as the anus (at the tail end) blows another vuvuzela sound (kusula fisushi!). CHAOS IN PF.
