Kasama Central Patriotic Front Member of Parliament Dr. Xavier Chishimba has maintained that he will take part in the National Constitutional Conference despite his party leadership threatening to expel him.
Dr. Chishimba however, said he is ready to be expelled from the PF but vowed to defend his seat when it is declared vacant.
He dismissed claims by the party leadership that the Members of Parliament had resolved not to participate in the NCC.
Dr. Chishimba has since challenged his party president Michael Sata to produce minutes of the meeting that was held to come up with a stance not to participate in the NCC sittings.
He, however, promised to visit his constituency soon to explain why he had decided to participate in the NCC.
Dr. Chishimba was speaking during a live interview on Radio Mano, a community radio station in Kasama yesterday.
And Dr. Chishimba has reminded Mr. Sata that in a democracy, leaders were supposed to accommodate divergent views.
He charged that Mr. Sata was exhibiting dictatorial leadership by ordering his Members of Parliament not participate in the NCC.
Dr. Chishimba further said he has not forgotten how Mr. Sata, as a former police officer, allegedly beat up his father during the liberation struggle.
Efforts to get a comment from Mr. Sata proved futile.
Doctor Chishimba, i for one dont believe you have a heart for the pipo you are claiming to be presenting in Kasama. Look at the k299 billion which U and yo fellow plunders are going to share. That K299 billion can go a long way in this country. Think about it

we are waiting for sata to fire as he promised, what is he waiting for? show us the wrath you showed to the former nchanga mp.
Satas leaership has suffered a black eye.Going to the cole,didn’t he know that these mps were going to act in mutiny?Its time pipo stopped wasting pipos time and seriously take responsibility.Common sense stipulates that a good leader would bring his pipo and table issues and avoid this emberasment.At that time he could have gauge where his mps stood .To me it looks like he left everything in the air and hoped pipo will listen to him from the media.Is this how he expects to run white house?
Sata is doomed. His pomposity and illusion that its him and him alone who is popular has gone right to his head. We all know that people like Machungwa and Katele are icons in Luapula and do not need Sata to win back their seats in any subsequent bye elections were he to expel them from his bwato. He is the one who created stinking political prostitution in this country, Federal Party, UPP, UNIP, MMD and now PR. He should just enjoy his sour “machungwa” silently.
Dr Chishimba should explain What happaned to a lot of vehicles donated by Japan as Aid to NGOs were he previously worked before joining PF.
Kayope,
PF belive in unite we stand and divide we fall.Thus, any indiscpline MP must be axed right from the trotters and replaced with obidient ones.
Ala ba Sata is a real pragmatist in Zed…AMEN
PF and HE Sata muyayayayaya nomba. it’s 4life.
Dr Chishimba is lying if he thinks he is going to return kasame central constituency it is a total joke. I come from Kasama central.To be honest he was not even known before becoming MP and he has totally done nothing to kasama central.Snr Chief Mwamba road is impassible during rain season pipo pass through Mutale Village to go to Chief Mwamba. This is a area where we have three very important things, Sr chief Mwamba,the best clinic, lukupa and agric produce come from.Since his election he has
Contd:He has never visited the same pipo he wants to visit now. we are waiting for him.We have been cheated but this time he will be Like Chimumbwa. He has grown big headed.History repeats it self.
On the hefty allowances of sitting on the constitution, I wonder those civil organisations, church leaders, councillors, chiefs and MPs feel.If this is about doing good for the future of the tomorrows then All these pipo would have accepted sitting on these sessions for best interest of Zambia. But greedness and poverty will never have a good supreme law of our land.Mr President you are telling us MMD to interest for the lives of ordinary pipo who come you are spending so much to bribe these pip
Sata has a lot of enemies, I don’t think Sata still remembers the day he harangued Dr Chishimba’s father. There too many people with bones to chew with this demagogue.
I cant forget how he matcheted people in Chawama and how he empowered Kadobi at City market with guns and pomposity…and how he used to mock us at UNZA when he was chief of the MMD..
I don’t know what typee of people we have who can cat a vote of SATA..
But you can laugh the way things r unfolding.So Mr Sata beat up the Doc’s dad.
PF go 4 a internal party elections.Most of the PF MPs r just using Sata’s popularity 2 be @ Manda Hill,deep down their hearts they r something else.
