PRESIDENT Banda has described Kelvin Sampa who was disqualified from contesting the position of MMD national youth chairman at the just ended national convention as a “special” member of the ruling party.
Officially closing the MMD second extraordinary convention at the Mulungushi Rock of Authority in Kabwe on April 7, Mr Banda said after being barred from participating in the elections, MrSampa did not speak ill of the party.
Mr Banda said unlike others who said all sorts of unpalatable things about the MMD, Mr Sampa remained at the convention centre and pledged continued support and loyalty to the ruling party.
“When I was going to vote, I saw Mr Sampa and paused to shake hands with him. These are the kind of members we need. You are a special member,” he said.
Mr Banda said a good member remains loyal to his party even after being disciplined.

Mr Sampa together with former MMD national youth chairman Patrick Musonda were on April 5 disqualified from contesting positions at the convention on grounds that they were not in good standing with the ruling party.
Mr Musonda filed nomination papers for the position of MMD chairman for transport and communications.
Mr Sampa was disqualified and suspended from the party for allegedly bouncing a K12 million cheque which was supposed to be a donation to the ruling party in March last year.
He also allegedly solicited funding from a co-operating partner using the name of the MMD.
Meanwhile, Mr Sampa said in an interview shortly after the closure of the convention that he is humbled and honoured by President Banda’s remarks about him.
Mr Sampa said after being disqualified, he remained calm and decided not to be vengeful against the MMD.
He said his desire to be MMD youth national chairman was not based on personal interests but the interests of young people in the country.
Mr Sampa said he had pumped a lot of money into his campaigns and was confident of winning the position but he has put whatever happened to him in God’s hands.
“The decision to deny me participation in the elections broke me but I remained calm. I have been loyal to the party and the President and what he said about me has vindicated me.
“MMD members should not engage in politics of vengeance and hate, which are retrogressive,” he said.
[Zambia Daily Mail]
People should learn to Practice what they preach. Mr Sampa always jumps on the necks of his opponents when the err!!
Thats what RB wants to be worshiped means alot to him
If he bounced a cheque of 12 million, why was he victimized like George Mpombo? he ended up been praised by the president. this clearly shows that justice is not equally applied in Zambia . it has a long arm towards the enemies of the government and a shorter arm to those who remain royal to the government.where is our democracy then?.
“MMD members should not engage in politics of vengeance and hate, which are retrogressive,” Sampa said.
Did he direct that at RB and William Banda? Uh, he should have told RB this before the expulsion of Mulongoti, Shakafuswa and Mr Bombastic – George Mpombo.
By the way how does Maureen Mwanawasa feel that her late husband’s nephew has been hounded out of the party on mere accusation that he and late Chibombamilimo wanted her to be President?
# 4 Kalos2121, Good observation d you have wetted OUR appertite. So Which nephew of Maureen Mwanawasa has been expelled or thrown OUT???
Finish your story.
chi sampa uli chi ngwele
Shakas bambo. Bamupilikisha. It started at that rally were RB chased Shakafuswa and late Lameck.
People RB kwena lishulu, please read his closing speech for MMD convention which was held in kabwe in post news paper and see if its making sense, to me its not making sense considering what has transpered in MMD over this convention. I think RB has been the waste president Zambia has ever produced, uyu farmer lishilu zo’ona
“Mr Sampa said he had pumped a lot of money into his campaigns and was confident of winning the position but he has put whatever happened to him in God’s hands.”
Mr. Sampa, wake up question: Is God there in MMD where clear misrule and unfairness dwells and is epitomized?
Seriuosly people this is good for people wanting to get into politics…
are you not tired of always having people in office and only speak out once they lose there jobs ie mbombo mulongoti even ka ftj when he started to support pf oh yes even Sata who now claims MMD has destroyed Zambia i mean he was part of the system,
There should be a law banning people from quickly prostituting themselves from party to partyor even standing for election in same area if suspended from your party atleast even take 3 years to have a chance to stand again more loyalty to party and deliver its programs
#9 Pact
And where do you think God is ??? in the pact / pf… God is everywhere the man merely said he did not react as he seek Gods guidance as an individual… he could have said a lot but didnt sometimes its a blessing not to speak anyhow just because you have been angered
He is just another broke thief who want to loot with the MMD before they are kicked out of power this year
MMD ruined by selfish leaders says Mulongoti.
Former Works and Supply Minister and expelled Member of the ruling MMD Mike Mulongoti has charged that the MMD has been ruined by selfish leaders.
Mr. Mulongoti who was formally expelled from the MMD on Tuesday by the party’s Convention says other members like former Republican vice President Enock Kavindele who are deemed as not being in good standing must be careful with the MMD leadership.
He says the MMD leadership has become so unpredictable that they have resorted to acting on impulse in making certain decisions on fellow members.
The former MMD chairman for elections adds that it is surprising that the party leadership has failed to interpret a good standing requirement for all members of the party.
And Mr. Mulongoti has also advised the MMD leadership to get rid of the violence taking place in the party before accusing opposition political parties of engaging in violence.
He says it is unfortunate that former Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Patrick Musonda was harassed by cadres for merely exercising his democratic right to contest for the frozen position of party Vice President which has since been abolished.
GAY AND HOMOSEXUAL PARTY FORGET UNO MWAKA TULEPELA UMBI KABIYE UKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Buzizi bwa maZambians bu tulile sikala sha! If indeed god is everywhere, don’t you think that it could also be true that he is nowhere, hence doesn’t exist? Who in their right frame of mind while fully awake has seen this god of yours for whom you allowed an unrepentant murderer, thief, liar and serial adulterer to surrender thy country to him has ever seen him? Ka Sekwila Mumba Nevers said god had anointed him to run as president and win to rule Zambia but alas, the misguided evangelical lunatic curved out an abysmal 2% of the vote when he ran for president in 2001. KK made you pray very hard for right during the draught years of the 80s but this god of your failed to bucket it from his mystical heavenly Kingdom.
That’s is why I believe in the god in me, not this almighty being of yours that clearly does not exist. People should not go voting for clear imbeciles to ruin the nation through incompetent leadership and resort to endless prayer hoping god will send solutions to tackle all woes and manna from heavens to feed all the hungry. It will never happen, never, the true god in you tells you to puke your tribal bigotry etc and elect dedicated people who will work hard to emancipate u from thy miserable pauperized life.
“MMD members should not engage in politics of vengeance and hate, which are retrogressive,” – PF learn
I am an ardent believer in the catholic doctrine of “If s.h.i.t happens to you, its because you deserve it”. This is very true of Zambians today, they deserve every piece of woe they have to contend with.
crap members..atase..the good thing is you will beat satana..
IFWE NI PABWATO AND SATA COME WHAT MAY.
How old is Kelvin Sampa? Is he still a youth?
Kelvin Sampa who???????????
This is indeed a big lesson for the other big-headed politicians. When you are wrong you are wrong. Mupombo you were bitter because you wanted to be veep. Shakafuswa, you should have been fired by your uncle for boasting that you know how to sc@rew women. Mulongoti, just because you support someone to get a job doesn’t mean they shall forever be indebted to you even when you speak g@rbage of them. You should have learned from Chiluba who was sorted out by Levy. Mbita, you were fired by Levy for being an undiplomatic diplomat. The lesson is that politics is about loyalty-whether you are wrong or right-that’s just the way things work-be it PF, UPND, UNIP etc. Sata fired rebel MPs for not being loyal to his ideals. HH fired “suspended” Chizyuka and Panji for not being loyal to what the party…
I feel very sorry for people like #16 who dont believe in God. Anyway you are talking about god and not God so im not so offended coz to me their is big difference between God and god.
The boy is dead scared over the ZMK12million cheque which he bounced!!! Hence being gloomy and quiet. He is fearing prosecution
The best campaign should start within families,then neighbours,friends,churchmates,schoolmates,Workmates,minibuses,taxi’s then to other people.That is the way iam campaigning for change.CAMPAIGN FOR PF & SATA.DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ON TRIBAL PARTIES.
Now thats totally being a true man sampa. RB congrats it just goes to show you are not up for corruption. Big ups.
Rubbish MMD no vision only banking on state money to stay in power. There is going to come a saviour and you dust bins will be emptied forever.
sampa just go bak 2 ur ka NGO owaz praisn da MMD n condemnn da opposition now wi know ur true colours!
#27 Surprise Kapangala, you are right my bro. Kelvin knows what happens to you if you bounce a cheque and you are not in “good standing” with the party and its government. So better shimama.
Sampa, RB is not commending you, he is patronising you. You shouldn’t be considering yourself humbled, but humiliated.
people if u bounce a check it is not the person who is supossed to prosecute u but the financial institution u bank with…………………..so his persecution is not supposed to be pushed by mmd but by his bank…….just thought u should know
#30, from your language you probably have painful sores on your tongue.
at least he spent alot of money in the campaign when the majority of zambians are feeding on one meal a day. at least his money trickled down to the poor ‘cadres’. this year you will see the gdp for households will go up. when they give you money EAT and vote pa bwato
Chisapa ni chi puppet & a bootliker he formed a ka non performing NGO called NICA just to swindle the non expectant well wishers & donors. He is a brooke & desperate chap just go to school & find a better job idot
PF is in its last few months 35. nways go on and sink with the bathtub. so tell me who is next after the slimy cobra in august??? scott? kabimba? it will be fun to listen to the king of cobras announcing he is contesting 2016.
Number 17’s comments are so dreadful.God has done nothing wrong for Him to warrant your attacks.We need to respect the Almighty God for us to prosper in whatever we do.Number 17,you need to repent and accept God in your life.The Chilubas ,Bandas and Siliyas will account to Almighty God for stealing from us.God is no respecter of man.We should acknowledge Him as our Protector from injustice that is around.We do not have to hurl insult on an innocent God owing to our selfishness.
He couldn’t speak ill of the party because his fingure soiled for bouncing a cheque and soliciting money. He had to remain royal to survive the arm of the law like Lucy Changwe. This clearly shows that the application of law under MMD is selective.

who is this Sampa kanshi?
typical unip mentality.sampa mulechenjelako sum gives u credit 4 being a corward.cant u read btwn de line
Looks like RB is driving the agenda now, all that PF cadres can do now is react.
#30 Deja Vu, your mind is very simple to read, by saviour obviously you mean Mr Sata. kekekekekeke kikikikikiki, awe mulawamya kwena!
# 26 & 39, Please do not feel sorry for me, such lots of bull just won’t sale with me. You should be feeling sorry for yourself for believing in such a lot of myth while denying tangible reality of poverty resultant from laziness and lunatic tolerance of a bunch of criminals staging a stinking charade you call your government. If this God, or god or whatever you want to call him indeed exists, he should cite you for blasphemy for s’t’u’i’d’i’ty. I mean, you believe he gave you five senses but you insult him by deciding to engage only 1 of them and keep on reverting to him in prayer for ailments resultants from leaving the other four idle. No wonder billions of Chinese, Japanese & Indians who don’t pray to him have thriving economies b’coz they, like me believe in the god in them.
42 and all those asking about Kelvin Sampa. I know him well, his interest in politics go back to his early 20s. He is my peer, therefore between 35 – 37 years. In 1996/7 he worked for an organisation promoting youth participation in politics. He is either Director now or moved to a similar organisation. He has always loved politics. If not mistaken he was at Mpika boys. He came from a wealthy family and loved to rap. Even his lyrics was about youth participation in politics. Have not seen him in many years, the last time i did he was a passionate, well read and down to earth guy.
Chete Wilson # 47. Good to bring up such info. I dont know why some Zedians like recycled politicians. This guy was perfectly groomed by super Ken. You know how god KK was at that. The ones who are writing negatives about Kelvin Sampa im sure are just the usual PHDs. Vote for recycled politicians, us we’ll go for fresh blood. Keep it up Sampa. Uli chaume.
Zambians are fool of rumours thats what they believe in. Sampa Go Ahead you did the most wise thing even elders in politics have failed. Uli chaume i give you respect. Am a young man also interested like him. The one who brought out his history you are right, he has always been at center stage of youth promotion. Ba Ngwele Tamwaishiba
