Movement for Multi Party Democracy (MMD) has refuted allegations by the Patriotic Front (PF) that the party is using government vehicles during the on-going campaigns in the Chitambo by-elections.
MMD Deputy National Secretary Jeff Kaande said in an interview in Serenje that the MMD party purchased nine vehicles from China for MMD provincial chair ladies.[quote]
Mr Kaande disclosed that the party had already paid about K430milion duty for the vehicles in question.
He has since advised Mr. Michael Sata, the opposition PF leader, to refrain from spreading inflammatory remarks but instead seek the truth.
Meanwhile, Vice-President George Kunda announced that government has set aside K80 million to construct a 1 by 3 classroom block at Yolamu Primary School in Chitambo constituency.
Mr Kunda said this at a rally held at Yolamu Primary School in Chitambo constituency yesterday.
Mr. Kunda said that plans to construct the classroom block were made before the Chitambo parliamentary seat fell vacant.
Mr. Kunda said that the programme was an going exercise aimed at improving infrastructure in schools.
The Vice President also disclosed that government had embarked on a programme of rehabilitating roads in rural areas and has since purchased equipment from the People’s Republic of China for that purpose.
Mr. Kunda has called upon the people of Serenje to vote wisely in the fourth coming by-elections.
ZANIS
Then why dont those vehicles have reg nos? Teti musumine pantu ubufi e speciality ya MMD
The biggest challenge we have ma courts. Courts particulary the suprem court its a government tool if only courts were not compromised goverment officials wud hav that ka fear .
Where else can MMD get brand new vehicles. The party is poor. They have even stopped fund raising ventures since RB came into power.
These thieves will die like Dogs.
until there is a by election of genreal election, that is when govt is reminded of development, no election, no road, no extension of schools, no cell phones, what a govt!
#5 and people in villages buy this cheap trick
John Doe, I think we ve too many uneducated pipo in Zambia, and this is a deliberate move by govt to get its way with elections, its a pity we fall for such lies.
I READ IN THE POST ON GEN RONNIE BLAMING THE GENOCIDE IN RWANDA ON THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. I JUST WANT TO ADVISE HIM THAT HE SHOULD NOT CONTINUE REMINDING THE RWANDESE OF THIS SAD CHAPTER. THESE PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH A HEALING PROCCESS AND IT IS NOT GOOD FOR FAILED AND DESPERATE POLITICIANS IN ZAMBIA TO START USING THIS SAD INCIDENT TO SCARE ZAMBIANS WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR EQUALITY, JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS. ZAMBIA HAS WITNESSED WARS AROUND ALL ITS BORDERS BUT NONE OF IT HAS MADE US GO TO WAR IN OUR COUNTRY. THIS IS SIMPLY THAT WE ARE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY WITH ITS OWN CULTURES AND WE UNDERSTAND WHY WE MUST MAINTAIN OUR PEACE. BUT WITH DESPARADOES AT THE HELM OF GVT THIS PEACE IS UNDER REAL TRIALS.
Shoprite Chingola Closed today. Tools down if you know what i mean.
These MMD are a lying lot and too good at contradicting each other. Just the other day when Sata confronted them about the use of GRZ vehicles a woman cadrer is reported to have said that the MMD were free to use them because they are the government, now this other MMD cadrer, Jeff Kaande is saying something else. These opportunists are on the rampage.
of course u’re not using govt. vehicles mmd, who wud dare think otherwise with your unshakable record of dignity, honour and fair play!!! i spit on all those who wud even whisper the word corruption wen refering to the mmd!!! these guys have run clean and sober campaigns since inception and i refuse to standby by and listen to this filth being thrown around against my beloved RB (Fondly known as Pineapple face) and Teta and my one and only reverend Shikapwasha! Who are u? do u know wat these guys have sacrifised for your sake? Giving up a full tank of gas a week for just a measly 3/4 tank, u think thats a joke??? i dont know when u pipo are ever goin to appreciate the love these guys in the mmd have for us (BLAH BLAH BLAH!!)
A reminder to Jeffy Kaande and George Kunda that they can not fool us for long time and think they will forever get away with it. If those vehicles being used in Chitambo By Elections campagins were for MMD why were they driven from Lusaka all the way to Chitambo without REG Nos and then use them in campaigns. Meaning they have no licences and insurance hence breaking the law. The truth those are GRZ property. Sata usually gets his information correctly concerning operations in GRZ. There is no way he can tell lies on that score.The problem we have weak Institutions like ECZ, ACC to deal with malpractice. Its unbelieble that half the Cabinet are camped in Chitamba burning fuels and miusing tax payers money. We got wrong priorities in Zambia.
Lies everyday, what a country. Even in Livingstone Shoprite is closed employees demanding improved conditions of service. Chitambo people please vote wisely though development is not guarateed with this kind of leadership at hand.
Here, in Kabwe the same thing is happening the SHOPRITE worker are saying NO PENSION NO WORK. Shoprite no busness today.
Abantu banaka ukubombela ulwisha! This govt is not doing anything to safeguard the workers in the country. Trades unions are just the same too, brain washed by the govt. People are paid peanuts and they do not have pension schemes going on, what kind of a system is that? The Govt must put its citizens’ priorities before those of investors. Some people have worked so long for shoprite yet they cannot even show anything for it, as it is a trend by shoprite to fire and hire kwati takwaba ubuteko. I wonder whose interest the govt is serving!
ka chiluba is the cause of shoprite mess , the boy did n’t even look into workers interest when these so called investors were coming.
Shoprite better pack its bags and go back South. If they cant provide pension for their workers when are theyngoing to do it. They ahve amde huge profits yet they are doing lito in terms of staff development and welfare. What happening at GRZ House. Hon Liato and Kachimba do you want tomhear that another investor has bin put on the Butcher Boy by blockmen at Sjoprite. Just as much as we need investors we also demand a fair share for our labour.
lies lies lies for Zambians??? Wake up Zambians. These guys dont mean well with you. They and their children are enjoying the national cake. Their Hospital is in south africa, their schools in uk, usa, etc. While you go on empty stomaches, they have plenty to throw to their dogs and have the audacity to come to you and feed you with fake promises upon fake promises. What a country !!!!!!!!!!
These Chinese vehicles are getting more and more expensive just like the hearses.
People should come to understand that the present politics are not giving us a platform or creating an enviromnet which will leave the coming generations with something.Now if we want real politics then just ask the real people because a party is about to be formed that will bring development to the people of this nation.This party will work to improve the masses at large.We are planing on bring change to this nation.Look at the present government they are failing even to fundraise for there own party do you expect them to develop this nation.Look at the policy of the up coming party and what they intend to do.Job creation will be done with the involvement of stake orders.Now is this going to be done.Will involve farmers(both small and large scale farmers in this project.Will allow farmer
What will farmers do and the stake orders.We plan on using the food chain policy.We have universities ,colleges,land ,natural resources.Now how can these be used to improve the economy of a country.The first step will be to set up a government wing that will go out and make sure that every subsistence and commercial farmer is registerd and know how big his land is.The second will be to measure how much money will be needed to complete allow us fund the irrigation system by way of creation of boreholes and hose pipes to these areas and if they will be need for plougs.The Nitrigen Chemicals of Zambia will have factories in every province to allow availability of fertiliser.Government will now commence the funding of farmers with capital to allow them operate well and effective.Then after
Now the problem which face Zambian farmers is where will they sell there produce after harvest.Now when you look at the food chain policy that is where universities,colleges,schools will come in.In these schools we have so many young men and women with ideas of what product can be made from groundnuts,maize,rice,wheat etc.Government will pump in money in projects that will see governemnt use the agricultural produce be ultilised by the beatifull ideas from these institutions.After gathering these ideas government will embark on setting up factories in every province to allow those producing thse things to sell to these factories.When you look at this all those students,pupils involved will automatiocaly be the ones runing these industries in the process reducing unemployment.
When these finished products will be manufactured government will engage the ministry of commerce to do the marketing of these products outside.The main aim is to stop or increase the exports.Our aim is to allow Zambia develop in the area of agriculture and exports.Our motto is to reduce the exporting of raw materials that are always again sold to us.Government will make sure that every project that will be started will be successfull.The projects will not only be concentrated on agriculture but also technology and science.We want to make sure that every one contributes well to the development of this nation.will work hand in hand with the existing business house to make sure that we develop this nation.If Bostwana,South Africa or Angola can develop then who are we not to.
The other area is Mining.You see people we have so many minerals in this nation but they are under ultilised in the fact that we only export raw materials but our political party will work to ensure that Zambia starts exporting complete or finished products.Now how will this be done.We have ZAMEFA will make sure that companies like that are funded to the fulliest to reach a stage where whatever ZESCO will need will be provided.Zambia can not continue to experience load sheding when we have the ability to construct hydro power station.When our party comes out in the open it will intensify the construction of hydro power station in this country so us to reduce electricity shortage.Will ultilise existing workers and stuidents to come up with programs that will see the development of power
The eductaion sector wil be intensified because we will work to plan that every group of students that finish school will have something to do.Will make sure that the extra cuculla activites are inproved.Now in zambia we have people who love soccer,netball,volleyball,rugby,karate but because of lack of sponsorship in this area these have failed to commence.Now how will this be changed.first government will take the leading roles to insure that all facilities are supplied to all district education offices for us to improve and the other thing will be to partner or can i say come up with a law that will see companies sponsoring atleast four teams of different sporting activities.This means companies will be required to sponsor atleast four teams in football,rugby,netball etc.This is just a f
OUR AIM IS TO WORK WITH THE PEOPLE AND IF ANY GOOD PARTY COMES UP THIS PARTY MAY NOT COME OUT BECAUSE WE WANT DEVELOPMENT AND NOT POSITIONS.WE HAVE SUFFERED AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.WILL COME IF FOOLISHNESS AND WILL NOT IF A GOOD PARTY OR GOVERNMENT CHANGES ITS APPROACH.WE WANT DEVELOPMENT NOT JOKES.WE BELIEVE ZAMBIA WILL BE DEVELOPED BY ZAMBIANS AND NOT FOOLISHNESS..IF YOU ARE GIVEN A CHANCE TO LEAD PEOPLE LEAD THEM WELL AND YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG.SO MMD WAKE UP OR WILL ARISE AND COME OUT.THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND WE WANT SERIOUSNESS FROM GOVERNMENT.
