Reports that Ministers are planning to break away from PF is wishful thinking-Katema

Government has described as Wishful thinking, assertions by some sections of the media that some Cabinet and deputy Ministers are planning to break away from the Patriotic Government.

Chief Government Spokesperson Joseph Katema has observed that the suggestions are clearly the work of the ruling party’s political opponents who want to gain political mileage from lies and falsehoods against the Government.

According to statement made available to ZANIS in Lusaka yesterday, Dr. Katema has confirmed that his Government was intact under the captaincy of President Michael Sata.

Dr. Katema said the government is intact and delivering on its mandate given to it by the people of Zambia during the 2011 tripartite
elections.

Dr. Katema , who is also Information and Broadcasting Services Minister, stated that Government will not be swayed by what he called cheap politicking from delivering on its development programmes.

He said government will remain focused on the agenda of building roads, schools, hospitals and other social services and facilities to improve the living standards of its people.

The Minister has since advised media houses to guard against being used to propagate falsehoods stating that if they are litigated against and lose cases in the courts of law, they may go under and they will be the first to cry foul that their media freedoms are being trampled upon.

Dr. Katema said the media should always bear in mind that freedom goes with responsibility.

    • With Sata anything is possible. I don’t think he can trust anyone apart from his family. So Winter is next to be dribbled. Ni Don’t Kubeba at it’s best or is it worst. We have told you that PF is Sata and Sata is PF.

    • But why they continue interrogating Kabimba about the 4th Republic. what is he going to do with the Sudanese Pounds which is in PF accounts.

    • The PF is gradually losing its impetus and subsequently it will cease to exist as a party to reckon with. This has been brought about by its tribal nature and the ever increasing immorality among the PF top leadership. The above mouth piece is desperately attempting to manage damage control and, whatever solutions/remedies the PF has in its magic hat will not resolve the current problems facing these hoodlums. These crooks are castigating and insulting each other. Following from this possible catastrophe, a circumstance which if cleverly/brilliantly manipulated by the opposition may emerge and most likely to propel the UNPD to victory. Further, these dishonest hoodlums are clueless and their thoughts are not well calculated,even though they want their audience to buy into their stories.

    • He’s called them useless, ulichipuba, lazy name it.

      Do you honestly think any sensible Minister and deputy will continue being part of the PF. Watch this space.

      Ndobo
      I strongly doubt the party with which most PF Members are going to is the so called 4th republic attributed to Kabimba. No sane person will want Kabimba to lead them.

    • @OldRugsOut
      dont forget its common knowledge that kabimba is supported by mmembe & Guy scott and some ministers,,,, and that group has structures within PF who oppossed to kambwili`s (GBM`s) group and Sata Mulenga

    • @Ndobo, you told me about the 4th Party, but I for sure know that Guy Scott is not part of it. Guy Scott is just in middle of everything, is friend of Chikwanda who is in GBM/Kambwili camp. Kabimba is with Mmembe & Nchito + the Sudanese trained militia, but no minister is following that ka styupid, who gave out PF account to the Sudanese. Forget about Mulenga Fimofimo.
      The day Edgar Lungu & Chenda will lose the chess-game (master diffusers) it will be eruption!! Sata is just rubbing his palms……

  1. I also doubted this story because no pf member has brains or courage to start a new party.they also claimed that they have met 8times of which if it was so,sata would have known through his intelligence.

  2. We are definitely breaking away. The President has appointed his son Mulenga as the PF Presidential candidate in 2016. This we find unacceptable. Zambia is not a kingdom. We are definitely leaving the PF to Mr Sata’s family.

    • @4 minister, your reasoning is very shallow and hollow. if mulenga wants to be president he has the right just as george bush jonior had after his father left office. you cant stop anyone from becoming president simply coz their father was once so. you shud ve told your halpless father to be president so you become one too.

  3. Political propaganda, tell the biggest lie and get them believe. It works. Nevertheless, listen to thr lies for there may be truth in it. Get the fillers, dig deeper and get to grips. Ruling enlightened folks can be slipperly. Indeed giving away what you have carelessly would not be wise. Win people’s hearts and minds by words and deeds. I know it all mentality can ruin political fortunes.

  4. katema, here is another dull and useless minister. talk for your self bwana. you are not their thinker and you neither know what they are thinking about. a sane person would not stomach to be insulted on tv and his sons and daughters watch father being dressed down like a house boy. ichipuba hahahahahaha………………………..

  5. We are leaving Sata his children for sure just waiting for the right time he thinks we are stupid to let Mulenga lead us, just wait you have a very big surprise coming your way in PF. Who is he to be calling us useless as educated as we are?

  6. OOH LORD U HAVE BEEN SHOWING TB JOSHUA THAT U WILL SAVE FROM THESE VAMPARES BUT ITS LIKE THE SPEEP IS SLOW.GO STRAIGHT TO THE RED BUTTON LET HIM GO LORD

  7. Yes it is wishful thinking because we know you can’t survive without free things, especially with the increment in fuel price that will lead to mass increments in all goods and services. We also know that all ministers are useless as HEMCS put it so we can’t expect anything good.

  8. This doesn’t affect anyone. Lose 20 ministers, PF can find another 20 to replace them. Besides which minister is brave enough to risk the wrath of Sata? Which minister is bold enough to risk it all, the good life, because he/she feels short changed by Sata?

  9. Please have respect for the Minister. He is giving timely advice to the media to be careful not to be rushing to publish stories before investigating stories properly. To be honest if you compare the quality of intellect and journalism that we have in Zambia to that found in our peer-countries like Kenya, it is like we are 50 years back. Just look at the quality of analysis you find in Zambian newspapers! Most publications go round peddling rumour as news every day. In Zambia, there is no difference between a journalist and a non-journalist when you compare what is written. Some stories when you read them, it is as if you are reading a comment on facebook. C.r.a.p! So the Minister is in order to advise. You don’t have to insult him just because you are not PF supporter.

  10. Conflicting statements from the president and his minions, he says they are useless and are not doing enough, the minister turns around and counters that they are right on the ball…”delivering on its mandate”. This is one rare instance the president has said something truthful, that his ministers are a bunch of profitless sycophants. But then we all knew that.

  11. this kama ***** is around useless minister,ka bwana iwe are you still smoking and drinking chibuku u used to drink in Mufulira with that bully wife of yours who used to follow and beat you .
    Thot kalifwa as d nurse he used to sleep with died with full blown .
    Soon some ministers will soon leave PF for Kambwili
    The thing is no one will ever ever vote for Kabimba not even tombolilo

  12. ZP why not arrest this man for threatening peace? How can this nonsense be condoned? By saying if the law does not sort the alleged internet criminals insulting the president, he and his group will take law in his hands. This is very careless talk. This is not acceptable coming from officials of ruling party. This is recipe for anarchy. Is this the official position of the PF? This implies that we should all arm ourselves. No one is going to watch while being sorted out. This is war!
    We expect the president, being commander in chief to prevent this from escalating into a full scale civil war. Tensions are high it’s only a trigger away!! Rwanda who thought it would happen? Don’t take this peace for granted.

  13. Let us wait and see. Kokampweji chuma chidi kumelela.

    The minister may know the truth but does not want to show outside the truth. In leadership even when things are tough and are worsening everyday, you must show those outside the fight that we are winning. John Maxwel said, ” Quitters never win and winners never quit”, so is the scenario of this minister. Remember how KK was finished. On the ground things were bad but his ministers took the message of hope to him.

    • Aba ba PF bukacha ubushikubumo ebo bakalwale nsoni. I know they are not seeing where we are going. They are acting UNIP way of finishing themselves. They have forgotten that we have freedom of expression unlike in the UNIP error. The more they use violence the more they reduce themselves from popularity. ALEISA ALEISA TINA.

  14. Ba Chumbwe I landu yakwibe indeke tailapwa? We know you are capable of inciting your fellow criminals to attack the opposition party cadres , but remember even the opposition parties are also getting ready for any eventuality . They have worse criminals than Youngerson Kalobo and Paviuma KAlobo you and Stard Mwele hired to attack HH . Let not the died alive leader ignite the fire that he wIll never help to quench. By then some of this crime perpetrators will have been died

  15. The cartel is propping up Maureen Mwanawasa as presidential candidate on MMD ticket. Maureen has millions stashed in Swiss Bank that she made through Mahtani’s dirty crude oil deal.

    OP has pictures of persons who Maureen met immediately after their meeting with Mahtani in Lusaka, South Africa and London. Maureen’s picture greeting the white buffoon with beard coupled with snaps with Kavindele, the Vice President, Mr. Mumba the PS.

    The cartel and Mahtani are dead worried about the developments in PF (rise of Mulenga Sata) and busy manipulating with money dished out by Mahtani and Maureen (via Mahtani’s operational authority in swiss bank account).

  16. Ndale zaku africa tsopapo zalowa ufumu, kuno kumalawi. Bakili Muluzi adasiyira Mwana wake Atupele naye Bingu adasiyira chipani m’chimwene wache Pitala, Joyce Banda adayamba kale kuchitira campaign mwana wache Roy Kachale, Lero ndi Mikaele sata akudzasiyilanso Mwana wache.
