Patriotic Front Spokesperson Given Lubinda has said that the 90-days suspension of Lusaka City Council by Government over alleged reports of illegal land allocation is political.
The Lusaka city Council has been suspended for alleged illegal allocation of land involving several plots in Lusaka.
Mr. Lubinda said plots at Lilayi Housing Project were given to certain offices at the council because of the pressure exerted on them by the public.
Mr. Lubinda was speaking at a media briefing in Lusaka on Thursday. He said there is no impropriety in the allocation of plots by the local authority.
Mr. Lubinda has however welcomed Government plans to institute investigations at the council following reports of illegal land allocation.
He also disclosed that the PF has engaged a lawyer to ascertain the legality of the suspension of the Council by Government.
Yesterday, Local Government and Housing Minister Brian Chituwo confirmed receiving a letter from the Patriotic Front, asking him to re-visit his decision to suspend Lusaka City Council.
Dr. Chituwo has maintained that all plots under the local authorities country wide which do not fulfill allocation criteria will be repossessed.

Lubinda ! That is a very cheap Political Spin coming from you. Is this the best you can come up with, after keeping quiet all this time?
You are better off just keeping silent and let the due process unfold itself. What is Political about this when the PF Councillors have admitted to have given themselves plots through corruption means?
Useless PF. What has this DODO just said?
Lubinda is truly corrupt what is so clean to give land to offices whe the same shoud go to zambians. Lubinda you have shown your true colors and your true motive of being in politics. Ask not what your council should do for you but what you should do for your council. Simplifying the whole thing lubinda is apnac *****.
LUBINDA IS AN ***** PATRIOTIC FRONT APNAC *****.
you cant please everyone
Iam deeply disappointed with my former MP I voted for in 2006.Is this how he can respond especially that he has been on the offensive?
In short, Mr. Lubinda is indirectly stating that corruption is condoned by the PF as long as it is a PF member or affiliate who does it. This must be the reason why when Dr. Chiluba was facing corruption charges and was an ardent supporter of PF, the PF issued a statement saying they’ll drop all charges against Dr. Chiluba.
Now that Dr. Chiluba has “dribbled” Mr. Sata once again, they are all up in arms against him. PF is something else.
No surprises here; he’s part of the scam. Change his party is bringing is in form of more corruption. Who are these chaps answerable to – what type of voters do we have in Zambia?
That is the best a senior figure in PF can come up with. This briefing was actually draged out of PF as no one was willing to respond. As PF says “donch kubeba”. It seems courrption is normal in the eyes of PF, even their leader Sata adopted a “donch kubeba” policy when he was surrounded by corruption in FJTs GRZ. He even pushed for more by pressing for the 3rd term. What a joke of a party. From seeing the hudge market kopnya rallies, PF thought they could ride on backs of Zambians weaving the tribal ticket to state hse. They didnt even bother with development polices.
Now they have responsibility as in runing councils, they are bewildered. No plan. And Zambia is not a fo0l nation.
Where is the “politicality” when the illegality is clearly defined by the laws of the land?
Lubinda is useless. what is political when a mayor alocates 10 plots to himself. shame on you. you preach one thing and do another just because you want PF to get into plot 1. Bravo to Chituwo.
What political? Mwayiba ba fik…..ala ati political.To hell with you chaps.
On this, Mr. Lubinda is clearly of of touch. This is akin to saying, “I want either less corruption or more opportunity to participate in it”. Looks like that’s how the PF is, judging from their loud silence on this issue.
He JUST HAD TO SAY SOMETHING….ANYTHING!!
What do you expect from Lubinda who has some plots registered in Ireen Muloko.Here at the airport we are aware because she has been boasting about it.Even in Munyaule area its the same.Talk about ‘DOUBLE SPEAK’ Lubinda champion.We also want plots.The law should follow the twit!
With MMD corruption is corruption…with PF it is still the same. We are not little stupid children to be tossed to and fro. Please, Mr. Lubinda save those DIRT LIES for yourself and your family. May be they are the one you can cheat so easily. Cheating won’t liberate you…only the TRUTH shall set you free. Free even to go to plot 1.
this s.t.u.pid man should also have said PF has instituted its own investigation to ascertain if there was inappropriate behaviour on the part of the PF councilors. but you rush to hire defense lawyers so you can get away with the rot
Sorry, there is nothing political about the action taken against LCC. The councils broke the law and they have to answer for their wrong judgement.
Independent observe please note that this report is coming from ZNBC, take it with reservations
what an opposition. lubinda mr. lubinda must it really be corrupt totally to oppose such a good move by the minister.
I really get puzzled with such rhetoric. How can the relevellation of corrupt practices be political? Is Lubinda saying the happenings at Lusaka City Council should be kept secret because if revealed they could be political? What sort of thinking is this? And these are the same chaps who are aspiring to rule this country? Given Lubinda and his PF are so simplistic and cannot even see beyond their noses. Does he think Zambians cannot analyse issues? Who is he trying to cheat with his empty reactions to the scam? Let him just keep quiet lest he annoys more Zambians. We are watching you. You can only mobilise and hoodwink your fellow kaponyas, not the right thinking Zambians.
You know am truely shocked….LUBINDA how can you say this??? And you want to challenge SATA for your PF presidency? Awe shuwa..I have no words..
Given Lubinda kabwata MC…….Tommy D na ma fella kabwata MPs
This is the man we want to bring about change in zambia and the fatherless priest is very happy with this.
The ***** has the temerity to defend the corruption in PF. Its not surprising, he acquired so many plots some of which are in the girlfriend’s name working for the airport here at Lusaka International Airport.I think the viruses are clogging his brain.Twit, unblock your brain with Kemron from Kenya if the ARVs have failed!
I am very disappointed with mr lubinda, honestly this is not what i expected from you, i thought you were going to say something sensible about the issue coz you been hard telling us how the mmd is a corrupt government now the corruption has been found your backyard, that’s the best you can come up with, i am beginning to think again if pf is the right party to vote in power this year coz we might re grate. i think P F have lost my vote on this one, you are all corrupt. chaiwa!!! VIVA CHITUWO
This is where the UPND becomes the only alternative to MMD. Pliz UPND dont smear yourselves with PF corruption.Send them packing
Bad is bad whichever way you look at it. Don’t sugarcoat nonsense the Municipal council members where being corrupt and greedy period.
There is nothing political about the suspension of LCC!!! The councillors are just criminals who do not deserve our sympathy. The lawyer they will engage is that dull chap in their party..Wynter Kabimba. Infact he should have just said they will get a PF cadre to look into the issue. We all know what that Godless soul, Kabimba will then say …..”it is illegal, as a lawyer and former town clerk, I know it is illegal”. Ask him how and all you will get is “…I know….Rupiah”. No facts, nothing!
SATA LUBINDA, KABWILI, GBM KAPANTA.KABIMBA, NSANDA ,ALL THE PF ARE THE OWNERS OF THE PLOTS GIVEN THRU’ THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
@ 29, Correct, the only thing that Winter KABIMBA was good at at the Council was signing marriage certificates for couples.I dont think he has ever warn a case in court!
i think this was one election year UPND could have done better. this PF mess will take them down as well
Sata must fire all those councillors involved to save the intergrity of PF.
WTF
It just shows how alot of people have little knowledge on how Councils are run and what legal reasons to be used to dissolve a council. What a shame pa Zed…………..
Very shocking and suprising indeed. Is that all the PF spokesperson can say ? There is something very wrong about PF. What is this nonsense coming from Lubimnda. No no no no no…. come on PF, you shud just have kept quiet than vomit such rubbish. SHAME ON YOU
This is what we meant when we said Maiko Zulu is right to challange Lubinda. These chaps in PF are going to mess this country
Gents think long and hard b4 u cast your vote, u might think of change, but belive me the change will be 4 the worse. It will be moving from a working cleanish toilet to a stinking traibalistc pit-latrine
#32 …..and showing disrespect to his Mayor late John Chilambwe (MHSRIP) – arguing ALL the time.
