A CATHOLIC Church Priest in Lusaka has urged the people of Zambia to vote for a presidential candidate who will bring development and better their lives in this year’s general elections.
St. Joseph Catholic Church Parish Priest Fr. Gabriel Mwanamwalye said people should critically analyse all presidential hopefuls offering themselves to be voted into office this year saying some of them were not honest.
Speaking when United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema attended Mass in New Kanyama Township yesterday morning, Fr. Mwanamwalye said political leaders should desist from insulting one another at the expense of national development.
He also implored politicians to deal with issues of tribalism that have characterized some political parties and advised them to embrace one another.
Fr. Mwanamwalye also called on political leaders not to use young people to peddle violence during campaigns.
ZANIS
This message should be spread to people in the rurals. After this new hospital, the whole Chongwe will vote for MMD.
I just cant stand how the slaying of children in Mazabuka, Mongu and Lusaka is being condoned.
Only Sata and PF can rescue Zambians from the paws of Rupiah the Monster. Mr Under 5 and his tribal club just want to split the vote. PF is the biggest opposition party and is better placed to bring change. If you want change vote Sata and PF come 2011.
Mwamukolo,Pa bwato, on the boat.
Catholic priest advises Zambians against electing dishonest leaders…….by that you mean Sata, no need to worry, Zambians have always rejected him.
#3 For once the Catholics are making sense – I agree with you entirely.
# 3 mashimba Spot on:
Struggling for national unity, it is necessary to combat firmly the fabricators and abettors of division. It is dishonest for Sata, or anyone else for that matter, to claim that Frederick Chiluba, Xavier Chungu, Faustin Kabwe, Aaron Chungu, Samuel Musonda, among others, are being prosecuted simply because they are Bemba-speaking people from Luapula. Well, if they had formed a tribal cabal to steal public funds they have to be arrested, charged and prosecuted as such.
They cannot hide behind the tribe, behind the humble Bemba-speaking people who they never shared any of their loot with. The majority of the Bemba-speaking people are poor and have got nothing to do with these characters. These people have been charged and are being prosecuted on very solid corruption and abuse of office criminal offences.
There is nothing tribal about their prosecution. As for The Post, our position on this issue is not based on any tribal or regional factors. The editor of The Post is a Bemba from Chinsali. And the key prosecutor of these characters, Mutembo Nchito, is a Bemba speaking lawyer from Luapula. What is tribal about all this? Sata knows very well the role The Post played in getting these Bemba thieves prosecuted. Tribal considerations should never be brought into matters where they have no relevance.
If Sata thinks he will get Chiluba, Chungu and their criminal friends off the hook if they win the September 28 elections they will be in for a rude awakening. We will not be turned into a pillar of salt. We will fight them to the bitter end. We sincerely believe Chiluba, Chungu, Kabwe and their friends stole and abused public funds.
This is what we think and believe. Of course, our courts of law will have their own position at the end of the day – and this is what will really matter.
Sata and his friends should not be allowed to turn crime into a virtue. And we appeal to all Bemba-speaking people of goodwill not to be misled by these evil demagogues who seem to all the time be on the side of criminals.
There is no one persecuting Chiluba, Chungu or any other person over this matter. If this was to happen, we would be the first ones to defend the rights of these same people we sincerely believe to be thieves, crooks.
Actually, tribalism is an extension of corruption. We therefore make a clarion call to all our Bemba -speaking people to fight this emerging dangerous Bemba tribalism being championed by Sata and his minions.End Quote of Mmembe on his demi god Sata.
Dear # 3 Academic Warrior, you need to undertake a country-wide survey to note real situations on the ground. Luapula is endowed with extensive lakes and wetlands. Yet Sata’s boats are sinking there. One cannot row a boat or fish on dry land. Luapula, Eastern and Southern provinces are definately no-go areas for PF due to Sata’s blue lies and insulting language. No amount of magic will rescue this Tanzanian political mercenary.
Hi beloved Zambians this is the only time we have to bring the change which had been delyed into its place ,so let us open our eyes bringout what is right and good for the entire country.
# 11 Malama, I am just from Luapula get the facts. Luapula is still PF strong hold just recently MMD lost terribly at Lunga ward in Machungwa’s luapula constituency. Watch this space come September your ‘rebel’ MPs will be no where. PF has also made inroads in Southern and Eastern Provinces they will for sure perform much better than they did last time in 2008 especially if they field credible candidates both at local and parliamentary polls. Continue living in your Cancun.
pipo like fide are sick: you’re just from luapula? when in your entire life you have not been to luapula. wake up boy ur pc’s screen is not luapula
BA UPND just workhard you have quality product to sell in the name of HH
every political party have its stronghold so dont worry about those who pretends as if the very sata they support is not their tribes man. its shame that if a Tonga is supported by a fellow Tonga it becomes tribal yet these two old men are sorrounded by their tribes men and to you angels its not tribal.
God knows what is deep down your hearts, you habour hatrage for other tribes. GOD WILL CASE YOU AND BRING SHAME UPON AND YOUR GENERATION, REPENT OR ELSE…………………..
I agree with Mulenga no. 16, when a Tonga supports a fellow Tonga you preach Tribalism. Whats wrong with you guys. Learn to choose credible leaders, not recycled old men. HH is the best this country could ever have. Young men and women let us put fresh blood to run this country. We are tired of been cheated by old men and women. How long has Sata and Rupiah been in Government. Gentlemen, think twice, Sata wont bring any change.
