The National Initiative for Citizen’s Awareness(NICA) has accused the Anti Rigging Zambia limited of trying to destroy the Democracy that has been built in the country.
NICA president Kelvin Sampa said it is sadness that an Organisation , headed by a lawyer who fully understands the laws of the country was coming up with false allegations that can cause alarm for nothing .
Mr. Sampa said the false alarm by the anti rigging should not be left unchecked by the nation as it is likely to plunge the country in to chaos.
He said the anti rigging Zambia has so far no substantial information apart from propagating lies that can create an environment of anarchy in the nation.
“Such people like the anti rigging Zambia should be made accountable for what they say to the public because it can plunge this country into chaos,” he said
He alleged that the Organization’s director kaluba Simuyemba was put on suspension between 1997 and 1998 by the law Association of Zambia (LAZ ) for allegedly forging a judgment and had his practicing license withdrawn.
He charged that the same lawyers in the organisation are associated to Mr. Sydney Chileshe’s case who was arrested by the Drug Enforcement Commission for growing Marijuana on his farm in Makeni.
Mr. Sampa advised people in the country should be weary with people who just want to cause confusion as it is evident from their past experience.
He has since called upon LAZ to make its stance known regarding the anti rigging Zambia limited director Kaluba Simuyemba’s statements in the country.
This is contained in a press Release made available to ZANIS in Lusaka today.
Meanwhile, an organisation calling itself the Youths and Students for Rupiah Banda (YS-RB) has appealed to the Registrar of Companies to immediately de-register the Anti-Rigging Zambia (ARZ).
The youth organisation said the organisation can plunge the peace Zambia was enjoying .
YS-RB National Co-ordinator Emmanuel charged that the ARZ has departed from their calling saying it wants to destabilize the peaceful campaigns of MMD candidate Rupiah Banda.
Mr. Tembo was speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today.
He waned the two opposition leaders Mr. Sata and Mr. Hichilema to conduct their campaigns in a peaceful manner and desist from provoking the ruling party, MMD.
He stressed this year’s elections will be the most peaceful elections going by assurances from government and Electoral Commission of Zambia officials pronouncements.
And Mr. Tembo has declared that the Acting President and MMD presidential candidate is assured of a landslide victory on October 30 because he has overwhelming support from the stakeholders; chiefs, church civil society some opposition political parties and patriotic individuals in all the nine provinces of Zambia.

i am 1st!!!
These mushrooming organization non of them can be trusted.
this is crap organisation
who would support lupiya???
obviously money(lupiya) lovers!!!=))
get the irony money = lupiya hahahahahahahaha
All those supporting RB have received bribes and you call that overwelming support,useless you are mwana!!!!we want change.
Anti Rigging Zambia must be de registered for causing un necessary alarm.The registra of societies must come in and correct this.
we know these ngos that mushroom during this time. NICA? i have never heard of them. they must be mmd’s “younger” brother. Mulongoti, how much were they given, these nica chaps?
Anti-Rigging Zambia is impartial, has hidden agenda and its recalcitrant behavior must be checked. Someone wants to make himself popular for nothing. We have seen lawyers come and go. And somberness must be an intergral part of any lawyer, not inciting anarchy in a nation.
#5 micmar
Sorry mate have to desagree with you there regarding the we want change slogan. In this moment if we are being honest it oppotunists more than dediocated individuals to give us change that are taking part in this election.
After the death of LPM with less than 3 years left i would say its time for stability and unity in the nation even if most people dont like MMD its the only way to continue then comes the proper elections which i can honestly say yes we need change even when it means there is someone within the MMD to bring a breath of fresh air.
De-register them tomorrow Monday 20/10/2008 dnt even waste time. VIVA SATA
my comment LT
anti rigging zambia is registered as a limited company by guarantee and the registrar of societies cannot ban it. It was registered by lawyers who know the law very well and to try and ban it will just lead to serious complications and costs for Government. they should have allowed it to register in the first place.
these orgainsations like NICA have no agenda. we need ARZ to help make sure the rigging is impossible. whats wrong with that.? go ARZ reveal more. ni pabwato
NICA? Sounds like KaNika ka Mukazi, lol
IN THE EVENT THAT SATA WINS AND FAILS TO PERFORM IN 3 YEARS, THOSE SUPPORTING HIM SHOULD FIND HOLES TO HIDE FOR WE WILL BE ON THEIR NECKS. PRAY THAT SATA PERFORMS WHEN HE IS GIVEN A CHANCE OTHERWISE NO ONE WILL EVER TRUST WHATEVER COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF WHO EVER USES THIS LANGUAGE BEMBA. WE ARE WATCHING.
Kelvin Sampa’s NICA is an MMD organ so I wonder why he is making such a meal of what Anti-Rig Zed is doing
Emmanuel tembo was once UNZASU presido during our time. The guy failed us and in the 2006 general election, he was booted out of PF where he wanted to stand as Munali MP but Mumbi Phiri was adopted due to har being active. I am surprised today that the same Tembo is supporting RB and MMD. If you look at the guy…he looks dehydrated and finished. He is just another Cozmo, Siulapwa, SAKI, Nevers etc. By the way, the same year he was adopted by then UDA under UPND and lost to Mumbi. 3 Parties in 2 years!!!! what a youth.
NICA ili na nyama soya sponsored by MMD.Look at Nevers,SAKI,Cozmo,BY,AKA all they want is not for SATA to be President. What are they protecting? Bwela SATA UCHAPE MUDALA.
akwikuteni naifwe tukekuta. 1 day.
Ba Sampa wesu, spare us the nonsense. Anti Rigging is doing a commendable job. MMD has been ruling us for the past 7 years through fraudulant elections. For once lets have free and fair polls.
Ba Kelvin twalimishiba emo mulila mutubungwe twabule nshila. You ate with KK, MMD and Chiluba & Levy nomba mulefwaya ulupiya lwakwa Rupiya. Tamwikuta? Ubwato will expose you.
Who are the members of ‘pant’ or sorry NICA? What is their mandate?
#17, you wrote ” I am surprised today that the same Tembo is supporting RB and MMD”.
The simple thing you must understand is that this 30th October election will be very tribal. “Easterners – who form the largest numbers of Lusakans – for RBB with a few for Brig. Gene. G. Miyanda (nice vote splitting), Northerners and Luapulans (Bembas) for Sata, the rest for HH since he (HH) is the most sensible and deserving among all candidates.”
The results will be shocking for most people espcailly PF supporters on LT. I make mention that there will be no rigging in this Presidential election, but tribalism will take its full course. This is painful truth, and it will hurt all the unprepared!
ba muselela kwakaba i hope u vote and enjoy the 15mil
#24 would it read beeter like this:
‘ba muselela kwakaba’ to “ba muselela ukwakaba”.
“Ba capya kooku” in Chi-Tonga.
RUPIAH REFUSES TO GIVE VJ MONEY FOR 600 THSND BLLT PPRS BECUSE THEY WERE CAUGHT. VJ CALLS RUPPIAH SLEEPY WITH HIS GOVNMT,”WE SHUDNT HAVE PUT U AS MMD PRESIDENT” TWAKUBIKILEPOFYE SAYS VJ
What Sort of an Abbriviation is NICA, no wonder they are behaving like some worn out underwear. All NGOs should be monigtored all of them; whether the are for the ruling party or against.
Typo above: Monitored and Abbreviations
Wow! Zambians have awoken(hope this is a word, it sounds good though); We are not asleep anymore, thus let us vote for a different leader. Any of the other three shall do. It takes a different perspective to just infuse that hunger of proper prosperity to be quenched. Change means people now know their voices are heard, even by some misfortune they happen to vote for MMD. We really do need to educate our brothers and sisters in all parts of Zambia Urban and Rural; Veils cover alot everywhere.
ANTI-RIGGING ZAMBIA BEWARE THAT WAS JUST A TRAP COZ U HAVE EXPOSED THEM SO MUCH…..PLEASE VERIFY ANY SOURCE OF INFORMATION …SEE HOW THEY RE EXCITED AND DESPERATE.
# 17, BEHAVE,YOU HAVE UNBALANCED DATA,SATA WAS IN UNIP, LATER JOINED MMD, THEN PF, SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING IWE KABUUDO,TEMBO IS A GREAT YOUNG MAN WHO WILL BE MINISTER SOON, WETHA YOU LIKE IT OR YES.WANVELA, LIVE MY BIG BRO ALONE IWE KAMIBYA
This Anti-Rigging thing is SATA’s baby. Where there is SATA, there is confusion. Now he is saying whoever wins the October 30 2008 elections will rule for 5 years! Another confusion by the confused former Chamba smoker

There will be no polls in 2011 – Sata
By JAMES MUYANWA
PATRIOTIC Front (PF) leader, Michael Sata, has said there will be no presidential elections in 2011 because whoever will be elected president in this month-end’s election is supposed to rule for five years.
And Mr Sata has pledged to restore dignity to Kabwe town by reviving all closed and ailing industries in the once mining district, if elected president.
Speaking at a public rally in Kabwe at the weekend, Mr Sata said that whoever would emerge winner in the October 30 election was expected to reign for five years and therefore there would only be parliamentary and local government elections in 2011.
Mr Sata said th
There we go again trying to do what they know best “intimidating people” The Anti Rigging were just doing their job, and whatever looks suspicious they follow it it up. That’s why they are there, can they be left along to do their work please.RB is busy misusing government resources and these chaps don’t say anything about it. If they want something to talk about please let them talk about how RB is misusing things including the tax payers money(brown envelops) that these chaps have recieved from RB. period!!!!!
BWALYA= president ANTI RIGGING!!!! that guy is just a PF cadre. i dont have to emphasis on what PF is made of….you know it all
Poor fellows …
SATA IS SO IGNORANT…..
JUST LOOSE HONOURABLY
RB WILL SORT OUT THE POST VERY SOON
He is infact a Nephew to Cycle!!!

ba ftj be urself. dont live in dream land
Forget about Emmanuel Tembo. I am not sure why he still clinging to bieng a youth. ET ni mature. Kelvin Sampa ni silu yakantu.
Sata was UNIP with another leg in MMD first feeding lies to Chiluba & group about how many Kaunda secretes he had. KK saw the treachery en fired him. Tail between his legs he jumped on the MMD wagon. True to his style, he lied his way into the MMD high ranks giving us fake elections in 1996. Chiluba saw the snake in him and played the perfect card. Keep him on his side and out of his hair. Sata saw himself taking over from FTJ and anticipating a negative response from Zambians pretended to champion the 3rd term alternative for FTJ. Frustration forced him form PF, a party going nowhere after this coming election. Now he is telling the people of Northern Province he knows where the MMD has sta
If u ask a PF member to explain how exactly they are going to change the direction the country is taking, you will get no intelligent explanation. PF just means aggression, just observe their symbol full of malice and hate. Listen to them on radio shouting, even when they phone in with their sponsored toktym, you would think we were at war. Calm down fellers.Only gud thing is that PF is headed for collapse sooner than u might think. Emmanual Tembo, just like any other youth is entitled to his inclinations and probably this time around, he has done the sensible thing…join the working and winning team. It’s MMD all the way with RB at the Helm…oooh what a winning combination
HOW COME NICA ONLY APPEARS WHEN THERE IS AN ELECTION? WHAT DOES KELVIN SAMPA DO IN BETWEEN?
vote pF and has marijuana legalised elo ninshi mwafunta …chaos in the country!!VIA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
See problem is if you are eating well you see whatever others say as rubbish. Can you explain the rationale of extra 600k ballots? We all know that turn is always less 60%. Then why print more, If NIC do notsee any thing wrong with this then even the late PK could do better.MMD can just lose the election arms down
NICA president Kelvin Sampa a danger to his wife coz of too much nyele!!
sampa and bwalya are pf cadres ….just accept you are losing chaps!!
This is not about Sata iwe ka No44 naka 45. You think your HH is immune to rigging? Just talk about how u r goin to fight the rigging if you want your HH to have some chance of winning. Satav has no means to rig see the point?
NICA – Kelvin. I think this is the same CAP who sang that Ruphia Song on ZNBC. He is the one! ZNBC PANKOLOKO SONG.
PABWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
sorry, anti-rigging is just another NGO with no specific role to play in Zambia.
it is very unfortunate that most people who write are cowards and cannot be identified be real men and women and come out public so we know, how can you talk about someone’s wife you are jelous may be you cant satisfy your wife ni za ko.
these young men have come out public you also come out than hiding behind Lusaka Times, you Cowards infact anti Rigging has run away because the Police are looking for Him for telling lies and his name is Kelvin Bwalya
#49. It seems you are either blind to the truth and tactics of your party, or you are trying to hide something. Sata rigged the 2006 elections through the teachers that were used during that election. If you are not aware that’s the reason ECZ has decided to use school leavers this time around a decision i feel is the best given the fact that we need to prepare these future leaders in democratic processes. Deny that… VIVA RB AND MMD
Alarmin the nation at such a level is treasonable.
Verify facts first.

#31,chief rigger & #33,chembe you are one and same person stop wasting people’s time if you have no issues to discuss. Rigging or not there ‘s something that ECZ need to explain. To date ECZ has not explained the big difference in Munali results if you follow events well in the 2006 tripartite elections. What can you say about the 600,000 extra ballot papers, the 400,000 extra names on the 2006 voter’s register,unfair ZNBC coverage of all the presidential aspirants? We are watching.
HOW TRUE IS IT THAT THOSE THIEVES SHOT AT LUSAKA’S INDUSTRIAL AREA LAST WEEK WERE FOUND WITH PF BADGES.ITS LIKE THEY WANTED TO STEAL MONEY IN THE VAIN OF HELPING THE PF WITH FUNDS.COMRADES WE DONT NEED SUCH CHARACTERS ANY WAY I CAN’T BLAME THE THIEVES AMENSHI YAKOKO UMUFOLO
2011 NO ELECTIONS. THE DICTATOR SHOWING HIS TRUE COLOURS. WHERE ARE THE OTHER TRIBES AND PROUD AND EDUCATED BEMBAS TO STOP THIS “COBRA” SPREADING ITS VENOM FURTHER?
Ba Kelvin Sampa, you have no shame! How do you justify that MMD campaign track you composed, which is always aired on ZNBC TV? You think we don’t know you? You are an MMD gay..
CHECK THIS OUT!(THE POST JANUARY 27 1995)HEART OF THE MATTER SATA IS BACK WITH GUNS BLAZING FROM THE HIPS.
How do you call the exposure of theft of ballot papers at the Airport a danger to national security? We are now awake no more rigging. RB must be sent back to his farm and add value to production of maize. By the way he has reduced the price of fertiliser so that he could manage to buy as many bags as possible for his farm because he knows he stands no chance. Viva HH Viva Sata but not RB.
#41. You are just an idol youth,ET is a potential leader of zambia.The guy is active while you are biz hibernating,im not a funny of MMD as such, but its the only mature party that all the winning people of zambia shall vote.Please do not talk about ET like that.You will be the same guy congratulating him for his contributions soon,which i wont mention. # 43,mdala,tou are a wise man,wisdom is your portion,i love you for that! VIVA ET, VIVA YS-RB
FROM THE WAY SATA IS MAKING COMMENTS, IT APPEARS AS IF HE’S A LAW HIMSELF.THIS MAN IS A DICTATOR WHO WILL NEVER RULE ZAMBIA,NEVER,NEVER!AS I ALWAYS SAY, WE WILL KEEEP SATA AS AN ATTACK DOG, JUST FOR CHECKS AND BALANCES,NOT AS A PRESIDENT.SATA, WAITAYA BOY!!!!
ET, IS UNCOMMON LEADER WITH UNCOMMON FAVOR! SO, STOP ATTACKING THE UNCOMMON YOUTH WITH THE UNCOMMON POTENTIAL AND UNCOMMON BRAINS
What is the problem with SATA.He is already showing dictatorial tendecies,how can he say there will be NO presidential polls in 2011?.What is going to happen in 11 days time when he is going to have ABSOLUTE POWER.
”Youths and Students for Rupiah Banda (YS-RB)” Aya nima rubish, how do you form an organisation to serve the interest of one person. Whoever came up with this idea is very dull and should not abuse students. What happens if Banda loses, or dies, God forbid?
You pipo, is this Emmanuel Tembo who once was UNZASU president in the late 90s? I cant believe it, for how long is going to be a student? I am surprsied at you #41. How can you support this nonsense? Tembo is a failure. What has he done since he left UNZA? I know he had a stint in Nambia but since then he has been a street adult and tody he wants to speak on behalf of students. Such chaps should not even be given a platform.
Amabolo!!
