Levy differs with Tetamashimba’s

Share

President Levy Mwanawasa has advised members of the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) to make consultations with the top leadership before making any statement to the media.

Reacting to MMD chairman for Information Ben Tetamashimba’s statement that the party might adopt expelled opposition Patriotic Front Members of Parliament to recontest the seats, President Mwanawasa said he would not subscribe to the idea.

He said his party already has members who were loyal to the party and were capable of contesting constituency elections.

He said it would be sad and discouraging to the party members, if the executive decided to adopt expelled PF Members of Parliament.

Dr. Mwanawasa was speaking to Journalists at the Lusaka International Airport shortly before departure for Angola where he has gone for a four-day state visit.

“I want to clear the point which the chairman for information and publicity made that we are going to adopt the six expelled members, I want to say that members of the national executive when it comes to making important statements or policies, please develop a habit of consulting with the top leadership of the party,” he said.

He however, said the MMD would participate and field its own members in all the by-elections that may be caused by the recent PF expulsion.

He described the expulsions of the five members of parliament from the PF as sad.

Mr. Tetamashimba was yesterday quoted in one of the daily newspapers as saying the MMD would consider adopting some of the five expelled PF MPs for the by-election.

On Saturday, the Patriotic Front expelled five members of parliament who included Savior Chishimba (Kasama central) Marjory Masiye (Mufulira), Barnabas Chellah (Wusakile), Percy Chanda (Kankoyo), and Faustina Sinyangwe (Matero).

The four were expelled for withdrawing their monthly contributions to the party (PF) while Mrs. Sinyangwe was expelled for insolence for allegedly insulting party President, Michael Sata.

In another development, President Mwanawasa has said it would be wise to remain quiet on the forthcoming elections in Zimbabwe, noting that making any comments might be seen as campaigning for a particular candidate.

“There are only a few days remaining for elections in Zimbabwe, let us keep silent and let the best candidate win,” he said in answering a question from journalists who wanted his comment on the election as chairman of the Southern African development Community.

  1. Me, Chuchu talking now, nobody should open up their sinking mouth about other party’s affairs. After this no one else will cough again, especially you Teta I command you to shup up your widely open mouth and yellow teeth. And you Mulongoti can you concetrate on blostering you immune system which is right a sore sight.

  2. well done chuchu.you have shown teta that you have no partiallity.Teta is even lucky that he was not dismised for this.it is matters of this nature that caused nevers mumba to be fired remember. atleast teta will learn to shut up on matters that do not concern him.

  3. Uummhh, I suppose there is a lot of wisdom from plot 1. Big up Dr President Sir for those words of wisdom to your juniors.

  4. Chuchu can you shut up or else I will stop licking your boots! Dont take my generosity for granted! Once I stop licking those boots of your, you finish Mr garbage!

  5. Tetamashimba’s baboon trap opens at the slightest fly! Keep it shut man! I am sure we can all do with some fresh breath, in words.

  6. BRAVO! LPM Traitormashimba z jst an embarrasment to be D/minister.He’s supzd to be cleaning the floor @ state hse

  7. Teta is a fool. Imbeciles don’t belong in modern politics. The guy should be fired together with Mike Mulomogoti.

  8. Teta and Mulongoti should be fired these people are useless in the society l don’t even know why chuchu should be keeping such type of people. chuchu pliz fire them and let them go back to the streets.

  9. Chuchu is just being silly by contradicting what he has been doing all the time. In as much as I do not like Satamashimba (not for his grey afro and yellow teeth), he was just alluding to what the MMD does all the time.

  10. Fire teta he thinks he is the boss and dr. mwana is right, the nchanga bye election candidate resigned and joined the mmd. Learn to consult before you show us yellow teeth.

  11. Finally Teta has been brought down to earth. The dude just yaps without thinking. As for those suspended/expelled MPs, no party should adopt them. If and when they wish to renew their mandate in the house, let them do it independently. LPM, bravo on this one…….

  12. Teta and Mulongoti have a petty cadre mentality,those characters do not qualify to be ministers in my country Zed.bootlicking is the order of the day…cheap kaonde Teta

  13. I hope these two guys have eyes to see & ears to listen coz they seem to forget quickly before opening there beaks again.

  14. MMD is nothing but a dead leaf that has broken loose from a tree. Teta, Mike and LPM have nothing substantial to offer. They speak nonsense each time they open their mouths.

  15. Our Country needs to have parties that expel their MPs foot the bill for by-elections. This is becoming a circus and for those MPs that defect to other parties, they should not be allowed to contest those positions for at least 5 years. This is becoming a joke. We need a serious parliament that will address people’s problems unlike a sitaution where 99.9% of their time is spent on fighting stupid party politics. Good move Levy, I’m not a fun of yours but I will give you just due on this. As for Teta and Mulongoti…don’t just open your mouths cause you can..Think before you act and above all consult your peers and superiors before exposing your shallow mind. I know looking stupid doesnt you

  16. This is a right move Levy.Don’t allow MPs to be moving from 1 party to another.Thats nonsense.People need new leaders with fresh minds than those Mps with roten minds.Bravo Levy!!Shame upon you Teta and Mulongoti.Learn to consult b4 making any statement.Soon Levy gonna fire you!!!Recall,where is V.Mwaanga?He is long gone!!Hence,mind your tongues or you’ll soon find your skeletons in Solwezi(Teta) or Chembe(Mulongoti).Days are numbered!!!!!!!!

  17. On this one LPM was right.Teta and mulongoti are just a sore in
    the eye.Political prostitution should by all means stopped Chishimba was insulting levy and now knowing his political career is over he has started claiming Levy is a better politician.Chishimba is liar muselela kwakaba.In kasama we dont need him at all.since elected never has he visited us.showing off and being big headed for not less than two years in politics has put you in sad ending.

  18. The likes of Teta are what Dr Kaunda used to refer to as “Stupid *****s” during his rule. Ci landalanda fye ci teta, phew!

  19. Becareful Teta when Chuch wakes up on left side, you will go and brush your yellow teeth with UMUCHENJE to better them.

  20. Learn to see Positive in every situation.

    Why does every seem against me for using my simple independent initiative in pouring out my opinion? Afer all, how do you expect me to be known to work if I don’t say?

    Which Minister in my position does not and never use(d) common sense? Not long ago, you were all expressing bitterness about SECRETs: SAA accidents. If it was a pleasant thing… you’d have all kept quiet.

    Mwampata fye! Tabakantanfye oooohahahh! We are still in power! Imiti ipalamene …taibula ukukwesana. It’s just one small difference of opinion with my Master! Remember mweba chisungu: I used “MIGHT adopt expelled opposition Patriotic Front Members ” and NOT WILL.

  21. Teta is not fit to be a toilet cleaner(a banamazayi)/Minister. MMD doesn’t have qualified people, even fools like Teta can see that, more treason why they poach from the oppoztn. The problem we face eminates from our support based on tribal lines. I dare say what makes Sata tick is becoz of regional support, not that he can lead us to anywhere. while opening a can of worms, but it is what it is. The sooner we realize politicians are our servants, accountable to us and until our nation rises above the ugly head of tribalism, lets forget about serious devlmnt. Recycled politicians that failed in two past govts. is a huge cost. Simply put “Garbage in, equals garbage out.” Thats how sad we’re.

  22. Last week it was TETAMASHIMBA,this week SHAKAFUSWA,both MMD.God help us, what leadership are these baggers providing to zambians? MWANAWASA should not keep quiet over SHAKAFUSWA’s FOOLISHNESS he differed with TETA last week now we want to see his reaction towards a member of the FAMILY TREE.

  23. Ba Tetamashimba

    The alm pit must not go above the shoulders. Respect the higher authority.

    The President must displine this man.

  24. THREE MP´S STILL INSIDE THE GOVERMENT TETA,MULONGOTI,SHAKAFUSWA,WHEN OTHERS HAVE BENN SIMLPY FIRED,WHERE IS CHITALA,MWANGA,NEVIERS,AND MANYMORE. ONLY IF YOU KNOW NEPOTISM THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND HOW THE COUNTRY IS RUNING.
    IF SHAKAFUSWA WAS DRUNK, WHY DID HE CLAIM NOT TO REGREATE HIS ULTARANCE? does that really mean that even the following DAY he was drunk? CHIKANKATA MP,NEVER MENTIONED THE NAMES OF PEOPLE DOING THAT.WHY DID HE ANSWER IN A PERSONAL WAY? ( IMBILA YAMUMUSHI TABAYASUKILA UWAYASUKILA NISHI EMWINE) THE MINISTERS ARE MANY HOW CAN YO BE THE DIFFERENTE? I THINK MP.SHAKAFUSWA SHALIFULA JUST AS HE SAID IT HIMSELF HOW CONFORTALE HE IS THAT HE CAN MANAGE AS MUCH AS HE CAN AFFORED.
