APC president Nason Msoni has challenged government and Secretary to Cabinet Roland Msiska in particular to clear out speculations that the instrument of power was not properly handed over by republican president Michael Sata before he left for Israel.

Speaking in an interview Mr. Msoni said there is need for Mr. Msiska to clearly state and show the public that the instrument of power was not erroneously acquired by the acting president and curtail any speculations by the public.

He noted that there is need for the public know that their acting president was legitimately left in that position.

“In civilized democracy secretary to the cabinet will put up a gazette notice or an instrument for public scrutiny in the government gazette so that the public is aware who actually has the authority passed to by the president.

“In the current circumstance; the suspicion is right we think that a treasonable offence may have been committed therefore secretary to cabinet should clear the air on these speculations by putting up a gazette notice for public scrutiny,” Mr. Msoni said.

Mr. Msoni also challenged Members of Parliament to demand for proof indicating whether indeed the president indeed left the instrument of power with Mr. Kabimba.

Mr. Msoni was commenting on speculations by some sectors of the media that the president did not properly hand over the instrument of power to Mr. Kabimba.

  1. I will personally be waiting for the Secretary to the Cabinet to respond. We have a right to know the truth… A lot of questions have been raised and we want to know what really happened….. PF is busying condemning the online media and threatening to arrest, intimidating anyone who opens their mouth to discuss the issue.

    • another idiosyncratic rant from a nonentity.

      The only thing Zambians are knowledgeable in are Mosi and The English Premier League. Talk about Arsenal and Man U and you see how hang up they are on colonialism!

    • just maybe Kabimba should e left alone,,,,,he should be used to take away power from muchinga and those kwalolo mwela bemba tribalist,,,, i therefore encourage all PF kwalolo mwela bemba tribalist useful id!ots to support Kabimba,,,, as he kabimba prepares his cabinet with at least 90% of tonga and bemba sounding names,,,,,,
      yes this is the man, we will use to shift power poles from muchinga north,,,to the south

    • Can the PF govt produce the evidence that indeed Sata handed over power lawly please. Why is that PF is always refusing to accept and give substantiated feedback to the citizens when they most notably, nee it, as Sata is a public property?
      If at all procedures were followed, I see why not Dr. Msika would refute to comment. All he has to say is yes or no.
      Dr Msika refusal to comment speaks volume of ” Donchi Kubeba sickness” .
      When will PF learn to say the truth and respect the constitution?
      Man will never mock God and we shall wait to see the happenings of his glory as liars will be termed.

    • @Nubian, another idiosyncratic rant from you…it’s amazing how eluded you are…thinking you’re so superior.

      Those insults you load on us Zambians will haunt you soon, and you’ll remember your dances on the key board.

    • @Ndobo, Bembas can’t tolerate that Kabimba, he can only go to Shibuyunji and fyononona himself as president and insult their chiefs. Maybe the Lozi’s and makishis are dancing that now they have a president Kabimba.

    • This is laughable.

      Govt is not obliged to explain every move it makes.

      Power has been transferred before under Sata involving others to act ( GBM, Lungu, Chikwanda etc) in the absence of the president and no one raised a finger of how power was transferred.

      Now that its Kabimba, everyone is jittery and making all sorts of noises as if Kabimbais not qualified to act in the job. The man just outsmarts all of you.

      Its utterly illogical for political nondescripts like Mulongoti and Msoni to demand for privileged govt information.

      Sorry that wont happen.

    • @Nostradamus,
      Please leave Lozis alone, they have nothing to do with all this rubbish surrounding the disappearance of your president and all the other related trash.

    • Zambian politics che ! Too much spending time talking about trivial issues at the expense of real issues.Msiska has just confirmed that procedure was followed.

  2. the country seem to have a lot of lunatic opposition leaders with nothing to do but thriving on petty jealousis. Msoni! How many times have you come up with wild reasoning like this one. Too many under 5s sponsored by chimbwi no strategy (cns) HH. Msoni forget about that petty thing you are raising go and campaign go to the grassroot dont be like HH who campaigns thru the dogs watching.

    • Tony blair,

      First of all you an idoit, second of all you an idoit and finally you are ***** of all *****s to make such a comment. Perhaps, you may not be Zambian and that is why you enjoy these people destroying our country. Zambian desverses better than Mr. Sata or even worse Kabimba who have run the economy down and enslaved our people to debt. What makes matters worse is that this is a so called lawyer (Kabimba).

      Zambians this is your country and you deserve the truth – let the secretary to the cabinet publish the letter signed by the President to pass the powers, you deserve to hold people of public office accountable starting with Mr. Sata himself and no one should intimidate us. The rules of land must be followed and respected.

    • Even when it’s got nothing to do with the man … you have to mention hin, is it how much fear he strikes you with.

  3. halenya halenya has poluted the political landscape of this country with his insatiable apertite for taking over from dead pipo. His wealthy is equally as a result of having our pipo sent to their early graves by HH corruptly selling off mines. Look at this msoni copying to talk dung from hh.

    • HH should really be giving you sleepless nights. NAREP as well as MMD have both commented on the President’s condition but because the leaders at the helm are your fellow Kolwestans then it’s okay. It is now HH this HH that. Winter K is also failing to sleep. He talks of no one but HH at every fora! Too late for you. He is the man of the moment and his popularity is growing like wild fire!! I’ve come to like him also. He has my vote.

    • Since when have we ever had handover certificates published?? We are now told MCS is not critical. Msoni efinshi ifi. You have just worken up from some slumber?? Relax you pipo . Sata may not die for you to take over from is seems to be the strategy.
      Too bad for opportunism

    • Tonny! Tone down; is it so difficult to focus on and stick to the issue that has been raised and is under debate?

  4. If there is nothing to hide, then why is Msiska refusing to answer a simple question?

    I smell a big rat here!

    Trickery and lies seem to be the order of the day under PF Government!

  5. People of Zambia please work up. There is nothing wrong to know the truth how Kabimba ascended to power. If the procedure was not followed , then someone has committed a Treasonable case and he should be arrested immediately.It seems we have a lot of Dull citizens who cant event raise a hand to point the wrong. MPs I challenge you to follow Dr Msika and get the truth.

  6. it’s horrifying that some of the bloggers whether pf supporters or otherwise think that MCS sneaking out of state house through the back door and his eventual shrouded departure from the country under cover of darkness is a non issue.
    Worse, the acting president’s legitimacy is being questioned and you some people still see nothing wrong with that?
    These office holders are our servants and they follow procedure and keep records so that when questions arise, they would be better placed to answer them, with proof!
    Whether this has ever happened before, and the motives of those championing the queries are non issues.
    These questions get more validated by the silence of MCS and the stubborn and unreasonable refusal by his subordinates to clear the air.
    which other country can…

  7. Pipo don’t worry, everything will soon be in the open for all to know and see. Have you seen that many loud mouthed PF leaders are now sober? Why? Things are happening. Time is up. Even the dangerous criminals on the streets who double as PF cadres are under a shock and chilled down. God can never be mocked forever. He exposes the arrogant. The handling of the instruments of power issue will land someone into big trouble this year-treason. Watch the space.

    • @Kelly….thanks for that. Point of correction the Bible states “God is NOT mocked”. Or to borrow your word God is NEVER mocked.

  8. which country can tolerate such obstinacy by its leaders?
    MCS should just show face (and speak coherently while he’s at it). Otherwise his continued silence creates the picture in our minds of him lying “vegetatively” in some foreign hospital hooked to I don’t know how many monstrous machines and failing to crawl out even for a single photo to send back home. And all this while his never-before elected, senior party cadre under questionable circumstances appoints himself and masquerades as acting president.
    If this cadre can usurp power, wat else is he capable of?
    And some people are okay with all this and even want everyone to shush?
    PF government should only addres a couple of questions;
    How and where is MCS? Did he indeed hand over power to his party cadre following…

    • @ justlooking…..tell us….some of us need sense pumped in our heads to understand that we have a right to know…..

  9. What is worrying more than Sata’s disappearing act, his subordinates and MP’s cowardice is the sheer stup!dity of some sections of our society who believe we should just keep quiet about what’s happening. When that CCN reporter first said Zambians are docile I didn’t believe it but now we are daily bombarded with overwhelming evidence of this docility. So these yellow cowards actually believe we have no right to information about the person who governs the country with our mandate? We should just keep silent when Kabimba has usurped power by deceit?

  10. am missing chakomboka and ngondo not these chaps manson,mumbwe,hungruy hyena, walya,mulongonye,mupupi

  11. That’s easy for they can Forge and just back stamp it bane…
    Viva MMD!Lets rig like in My Malawi where an opposition won by a land slide

  12. Lt Luchembe, Captain Solo, Musakanya and Shamwana must be turning in their graves. These gallant men wanted to overthrow governments that were led by saints compared to the present cowboys in PF. Is there no one in the military who can come to the rescue of the hard won fledgling democracy?
    Dr Msiska, we appeal to your better conscience, tell the nation the truth and save us from disaster.
