Southern UPND saddened by Mukombwe attacks

Share

Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) in Livingstone says it is saddened by Southern Province Minister Daniel Munkombwe’s recent attacks at one of its senior officials over the cholera epidemic in the province.

Mr Munkombwe made scathing attacks on UPND Councilor for Doctor Mubitana ward, Mr Joseph Jam, during in a meeting yesterday for expressing a different view on the cholera situation in the area.

This was after the UPND official, Joseph Jambo was forced out of the meeting which the minister convened to discuss the cholera situation in the province yesterday.

Mr. Jambo said that the only reason Mr.Munkombwe chased him from the meeting was because he did not support the minister’s views on the epidemic.

Yesterday, Mr. Jambo was asked to leave the meeting for disagreeing with the minister over the source of the cholera pandemic in Livingstone.

However sources present in the meeting revealed that the UPND councilor was chased out of the meeting on grounds of politicking during the meeting which had nothing to do with politics.

And UPND constituency chairman, Bowas Maseka said in the press statement made available to ZANIS today that Mr. Munkombwe chased him from the meeting where he was supposed to represent the views of the people.

“It was dishonourable for the minister to call the councilor immature. He showed no respect for the councilor by chasing him from the meeting like a dog,” the statement read.

The statement further read that the minister should be reminded that it is important to respect people that were elected by the people.

“The person he chased represents people in the same way the minister represents the people,” said Mr.Maseka.

Mr. Maseka said the minister’s action of not respecting divergent views indicates how undemocratic he is.

    What exactly did the sources indicate as the reason for the chasing of Councillor Jambo? Without them giving me the reason, it appears that they are just trying to bootlick.

  2. ‘“The person he chased represents people in the same way the minister represents the people,” said Mr.Maseka.

    Mr. Maseka said the minister’s action of not respecting divergent views indicates how undemocratic he is.’

    Which people does Minister Munkombwe represent. To the best of my knowledge Minister Munkombwe is not an elected individual by any group of people but an appointed MMD cadre by the Zambian President. Who then does an unelected character have muscle to chase an elected representative of the people that elected him. This behaviour of trying to be a small president were you aint elected by virtue of having been appointed by someone is bad. It appears this is the trend

  3. 7. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe continued.

    It appears this is the trend … by old characters who have been in the UNIP system of trying to be small presidents wherever they are. We read and saw such behaviour in one Undereducate when he was Minister of Local Government and Housing and also Minister of Health.

    This shows us that such dictatorial characters are of the PAST era of politics. Now in this 21st, I only need to see politicians who work as a team even with people that have divergent views as this is health in a society.

    To all Zambians, let us be careful as we go to vote in 2011 for voting wisely will help Zambia make positive strides in socio-economic development.

  4. Shhiiii!
    Munkombwe is like a Hyena, which can even eat its own broken leg!
    This man is just too old, extremely old that his brain cells will have almost diminished by 2010.
    LOL.

  5. I didnt know that this opposition party still exists.Because its president is very quiet like a pregnant cockroach.You will see he will only exist when its elections.

  6. If this Jambo chap was in MMD he would have been spared!!!
    I think Mukombwe must grow up! I have been following his cadre behaviour and it has not pleased me at all. Leaders must control their temper by all means no matter the heat.

  11. 19. your flag Matworld-Nice guy!

  12. Here comes the finger pointing meeting issue again.

    Where are you ‘FUTURE’. You were in support of such a meeting in that thread.

    That meeting’s general attitude/atmosphere is/was unacceptable, the standard aired was below par…and to come from a high elected govt mouth piece,its a piece of a serious joke..(Gross indiscipline) :-ss:-ss

  13. tipasenikoni chance we as the youths of this country with flesh brains to rule than giving some pipo who have grown old to rule.let them rest coz bakula….munkombwe akula let him rest plizzzzz…..

  14. That Jambo maggot was busy supporting em Zimbos sleeping at an illegal market hence contributing to the spread of shiki. The Minister was wrong to send him away like like a ‘dog’. He should have sent him away like :)>- dogs !

    Goodmorning Fellow Bloggers !

  15. Munkombwe is out dated you can see from his rotten teeth. Shoes are flying from USA to China. Change is coming and the old school will run to hell.

  16. xpired ministers should let the young folks come up with new ideas as it seems that would be the only way forward.

  17. “It was not fear of being sacked from the Republican vice-presidency that I gave up the job to Levy. It was just a practical thing. In the year I’m talking about, Tetamashimba was still in the UPND and therefore he has just expressed serious ignorance of what went on, although I am aware that whilst he was secretary general of UPND, the MMD used him extensively to obtain information on the goings on in UPND,” Kavindele said.

  18. Munkombwe should not run the provincial office like his polygomous marriage where his wives have no say.Its very wrong of him to chase an elected official out of the meeting just because he is opposed to him.Infact he is a failure and that was a rare privilege of getting some advice from the councillors.

  19. Ndamvwa imang’ung’nu ikuti Baleli bacisi ca-US Ba-B. Obama bakati balalangila ikuyoobeleka a Bapatipati wacipani ca-UPND Ba-Hakainde Hichilema na bakazunde mukuba baleli bacisi ca-Zambia mu mwaka wa-2011.

    I am yet to get the true of this matter so can someone confirm or deny this with proof!

    37. your flag Maestro Hhehhehhehhe must read:

    “Ndamvwa imang’unung’unu” ikuti Baleli bacisi ca-US Ba-B. Obama bakati balalangila ikuyoobeleka a Bapatipati wacipani ca-UPND Ba-Hakainde Hichilema na bakazunde mukuba baleli bacisi ca-Zambia mu mwaka wa-2011.

  21. The trouble with Daniel Munkombwe is old age. He does not remember or think before he talks. This is the case when recycled politicians are given authority, that is abuse. He should not think everyone should agree with him. I feel sorry for the councilor.

  22. “The person he chased represents people. In the same way the minister does not represent the people but instead the views of Mr Nyama soya.

  23. The problem with this old man is that he want to be seen working and gain popularity so that u get used to his agly appearance.Wherever he is he has something to contribute,whether sense or senseless.Now my fear is that he sets in the ongoing NCC Committee and i see him to be vocal and he will convince some Lazy MPs.God deliver Zambia.

  24. Following #38. above:

    USA PRESIDENT BARRACK OBAMA FOR UPND PRESIDENT HH – Hakainde Hichilema.
    ==========================================

    “Mr. Obama thanked Mr. Hichilema for congratulating him and hoped he will join him in creating a better world for all people.”

    =; for Zambia. The WAY FORWARD in 2011.

  25. #44. You are laying my dull friend. What you ought to know is that 2011 is for Micheal. May be HH will succeed in 2021 if at all his UPND tribalism party will still be intact. Come 2011, it is PF and Sata in state house. Believe me or not, this is going to happen.

  26. “United States of America President Barrack Obama has written to United Party for National Development-UPND-Leader Hakainde Hichilema urging African leaders to unite in a spirit of peace.
    UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema confirmed the development to MUVI TV News today.” Source: muvitv. com/ news/ february2009/ 3rdpnews2.h tml”
    Why not write President RB Banda of Zambia whom I believe wrote a congrats message to US President Obama about such an important message to the African people?
    Does this imply that president HH is more of a unifying factor to Zambians and Africans than President RB Banda?
    Is it that US President Obama believes that younger HH, 46 yrs, is better placed to do this task

  27. #47. your flag KK , you tribalism will not take you anywhere?

    We will see what will happen in 2011 and I hope you will not be declared a false prophet by your conscious, following your “#44. You are laying my dull friend. What you ought to know is that 2011 is for Micheal. May be HH will succeed in 2021 if at all his UPND tribalism party will still be intact. Come 2011, it is PF and Sata in state house. Believe me or not, this is going to happen.”!

  28. Sata will never be President of Zambia. He is undemocratic because since his party was formed in 2001 they have never had convention to elect office beares. He believs in appointment. He is just like Munkombwe both are too old and having UNIP mentality. Besides all his former immediate supervisors dont approve of him. Thats why Chiluba chose Mwanawasa instead of him. Kaunda has also said Sata cannot be President. Who are you to know Sata better than his former immediate supervisors. And as long as some people keep calling UPND a tribe party, oppositon will remain divided and will never work together and Sata will not win. In 1991 we defeated UNIP because we were united. Not now forget.
