Patriotic Front (PF) Lusaka District Chairman, Goodson Banda, says his stance to add pressure to allow former Foreign Affairs Minister, Given Lubinda, to resign were not personal but the truth as backed by other senior ruling party officials, including opposition MMD Spokesperson, Dora Siliya.

Mr Banda maintained that Mr. Lubinda is very treacherous against the party in government.

Mr Banda says he is happy that he and other people have been vindicated on Mr Lubinda’s alleged under-hand methods.

He was speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka yesterday.

MMD Spokesperson and Petauke Member of Parliament (MP), Dora Siliya, is quoted as having said Mr Lubinda cannot be trusted.

However, Mr Lubinda accused Ms Siliya of being lonely and using him to de-contaminate her image.

“I’m happy that some of us have been vindicated because I am not the only person who wants Mr Lubinda out of the ruling party, PF. The sentiments by Ms Siliya are true in that Mr Lubinda is treacherous and cannot be trusted,’’ Mr Banda said.

He further warned Mr Lubinda, who is PF Kabwata MP that his campaign mounted in Kabwata constituency ahead of a possible by election would not yield anything.

Mr Banda vowed that Mr Lubinda cannot win in Kabwata Constituency, adding that the road network in the constituency leaves much to be desired as they are dilapidated.

The Lusaka District PF Chairman said he is aware of Mr Lubinda who has recruited opposition youths from the UPND and ULP as well as some from the ruling PF who are engaged in campaigns in Kabwata.

Mr Banda stressed that Mr Lubinda lost an opportunity when he served in government as Foreign Affairs Minister and should not be allowed to travel out of the country again to represent government because he was a traitor.

Meanwhile, Mr Banda says the people in Lusaka and Zambia as a whole have realised the need to belong to the ruling party.

He said the PF Lusaka District was growing because of cadres defecting to the ruling party to be part of the development agenda set by the party and Republican President, Michael Sata.

“Our party is very strong not only in Lusaka district but the country as a whole. People are joining us leaving their own parties because they support the PF policies and there is nothing to offer in their opposition political parties,” Mr Banda said.

  1. LOL, Mr. Banda seem to be the one who has been having fruitful meetings with Dora, probably she allowed him to use his middle finger……

  2. True, Lubinda is indeed a traitor and this is not to argue that I support Sata and his party, the PF. If one closely watches all video clips in which Lubinda appears with his former superior, Sata, especially where Sata addressed UK based Zambians about their concerns in respect to the matter of dual citizenship, then it is evident that Lubinda has/had pure disregard for Sata. Further, he interrupted/interjected Sata throught out his speeches as though Sata cannot construct anything which is rational. Lubinda made rude facial gestures about a state president which displayed his height of insanity. Lubinda must be expelled from the party. I am a die hard supporter of the UPND and I adore Sata albeit I question his conducts. Viva HH, son of the soil.

  3. If you are a cadre, fair enough! but do not assume that everyone should heap praise on the current leadership just because you do. Some of us look at issues before we either praise or criticize and this is the way of free thinking people, not the mind shackled followers some of you are. Pathetic!

  4. fred membe and clique are silly, they are now trying fomular 2 since their first attempt flopped. certain things may be of substance but they shudnt be seen to be handled with a personal vendetta and thats what membe is made of. we now know yo schemes sakalanyongo

  5. PHWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ukutumpa!

  6. BOOM & WHATEVER,
    Your contribution above is all over the place. I mean, Sata’s speech in London was disjointed, incoherent and most shameful indeed. For the life of me, I still cannot understand his logic of dual citizenship and how it will take jobs away from “Zambians,” ukuwawata ne ifishikwete kumutwe sure the entire head of state. He should be happy Lubinda tried to put a positive spin on his “masalamusi,” the man is incapable of any sustained intellectual anmd logical thinking, chinangwa full cycle!

  7. sometimes I regret coming back home from the diasporas to come and live among the people I held in high respect for being intellectuals only to find degenerated breed of human beings with no vision, wondering around dirty townships with dirty political minds who wallop in poverty of soul,spirit and body. Siliya is uncultured dirty girl. Almost all Zambian politicians are hungry scavengers who join politics to eat and steal wealth meant to distribute to the Zambian people.

  8. Banda sounds desperate. Does he want the Foreign Office Job? Lubinda will win Kabwata because people like him. Let’s wait and see as it will be the fall of PF. Forget Dora, She also wants to get in to PF. Then Sata her Mbuya will be very well looked after. The 2 get along traditionally forget what they say outside.

  9. I’ll tell you what else the opposition will support HAND BACK POWER TO THEM SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE WRECKING THE COUNTRY YOU GUYS ARE WRECKING IT BUT NOT THE WAY THEY WERE DOING IT!!

  10. My candid appeal to Honourable GIVEN LUBINDA, is that he should henceforth stop replying to any statements being carried by the POST and Mmembe. Fred Mmembe is a disgruntled homosexual with no direction in this modern society.

    GIVEN, our Incoming President, please continue in the same path of only doing what’s right for the people. You have been ordained to take over leadership in PF and the republic but please do not reply to these disgruntled ranting’s. You only have a month and are back to take your rightful place in the party.

  11. Something caught my eye there – the “dilapidated road network in Kabwata”. Is it now the responsibility of an MP to construct roads? Or do they have to “lobby” the local authority or construction outfits to actually have favor to have roads done? That must be one confused and disjointed developmental agenda Zambia has if that is the case…

  12. Obviously Fred Mmembe wants Lubinda out so Dora is being loudspeakered from the Post to the President and public. Lubinda may be treacherous but Mmembe is showing him who is the master of treachery. Lubinda’s lack of principles and past actons are catching up with him

  13. At the rate Mmembe is going, he may sooner rather than later have a heart attack. He will not succeed in any of his evil schemes.

    One thing’s for sure evil never triumphs over good. GIVEN should stop responding to any of these mediocre kind of accusations. WE SHALL OVERCOME SOMEDAY!!
