Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) member Nason Msoni has charged that revelations by former Ambassador Milton Phiri that President Banda is not qualified as Republican President should not be ignored.
Mr. Msoni says it is prudent for the MMD to seek for true and honest answers from President Banda who he says has several times admitted and stated that he was born in Zimbabwe.
The MMD member has added that what appears to be more serious is the allegation that both his parents hail from outside this country.
He says these allegations puts in danger the sovereignty and security of this country.
Mr. Msoni further says it is shocking that people who are not bonafide citizens of this country should cling to power and fight for the presidency of this country at all costs.
He has reiterated his call on the MMD to start searching for the alternative candidate adding that it is obvious that if anyone files an injunction against President Banda, it could complicate chances of the party in retaining power.
QFM
This unworkable card is still being played in Zambia today? Whic past president was ever taunted by its use? … perhaps Mwanawasa! PLEASE let’s quit being petty and focus our energies productively!!!!
Oh…we now have birthers in Zambia. Who knew. PF, are you running out of ideas??
Nason Msoni is 110% MMD. All people that have talked about RB’s birth place and nationality are all MMD that RB has stepped on toes. Not single PF has discussed this issue.
Why is a genocidal maniac replying to me?? I have not forgotten your genocidal rantings. So shoo until you’re ready to recant your genocidal rantings.
Agony ba MMD. I did not reply to you. I replied to your pea brain statement. LIAR!
Yes he resembles Morgan Tsangarai
Idiocity at its highest!
The PF will definately file an injuction, let RB give all the information
Now this is like starting the Obama -Donald Trump issue/saga….RB beware….
L.T, thanks for my Island home flag..
Feels good to be back home after a marathon tour…East to West and back , West to East …
This is bullshit! petty politics.
Except the Tonga people of Southern province, we all immigrants from the crisscrossing of the Kola, Lubalunda people, the Mfekane, Zulus, Sotho or kololo Groups and Nuacusa (Mwachusa) where Sata belong to. Its unfortunately the Same Sata for years was behind smearing KK, FJT, Mwanawasa he called a Yabo of Malawi and now inconsequentially on RB. But cowardly he never initiates court petitions. To Sata all Easterners are Malawians, North Westerners are Angolans, Lambas on the copperbelt are Malawians, Southerners are Zimbabweans, Westerners are Namibians while Luapulans are Congolese except people from his village.
No one is discussing our history of Shaka Zulu or Kola. People here are discussing nationality and eligibility for Presidency. Not your usual nonsense.

MMD panicking. Panic mode.
Oh come on be real!!!!!! what a joker.
Tiyende kumawa a Lupiya,ntawu yafika
See what corruption can do now?
Ifwe ni pabwatooooooooooooooooooooooo mwamukoloooooooooooooooooooooo
Supper kenny,Kafupi, Nyama Soya, who next???? maybe we are all foreigners. Why cant we call back Katilungu’s son who was born here to be pres.it seems Zed most tribes are immigrants exept HH’s. You see kafupi had too much of DRC and katoto , Rb Zim . It shud be true these guys have relatives beyond the Zed borders. HHHHHH fyeeeee
Senior (childish) Citizen #9 please revisit your books, SATA is not from Luapula as you have claimed on #9. Be sensible iwe mwaiche, nauchilamo uku sapota MMD blindly, I am very convinced you are a youth and not really a senior man as you claim.
Senior Shi.tzen, is there a common ground between you and ukupena? I think ama.fi walya yachibe. Nason Msoni and Milton Phiri are equal to Sata in your shallow mind. I think you will not last long since your heart problem is fast growing into some chronic and dangerous stage where your left hand is consistently paining. wanya
nason msoni is a sicko always scrounging for beer and milton phiri its the stomach rumbling like that of waza and panji. obama comes from kenya but is today president of the most powerful nation in the world. bring issues on the table like roads, schools, bumber harvest, mining not this crap
nason msoni does not deserve any serious comment. on a lighter note, looking at all the political chaff being presented to us as alternative leadership or change agents, if zambia cannot produce good material for president, if the bumper maize harvest and unprecedented infrastructure development ever seen in zambia has to be done by a foreigner, if the best zambian president ever were to be a foreigner, so be it.
herb, you have to be a damn good president to receive all this criticism and negative publicity. to me this re-confirms my belief and that of many zambians that rb is the man for zambia.
ba nason and ba milton phiri, who is going to investigate this nonsense? we only have time for development for the people of zambia, maybe float the idea to pf they may have time for it.
This is all rubbish.So what if his parents came from across the border.Alot of distinguished Zambians had parents coming from across.Let us not be blind to historical realities and the fact that some of these borders cut up kingdoms and in some instances villages.not uncommon in the border regions to have blulus across the border.
Lets not worry mwe bantu.RB is goin to lose fair and square.Lets not give him “akabepesho” to use in the future,”ati they distracted me with that ka citizenship issue.”
I m now convinced MMD cadres are having sleepless nights. Bane just prepare for  your lives after the elections. The jobs you have in diplomatic missions are not permanent. The story above does not mention His Excellency M.C Sata, but l see some lunatics mentioning his name in relation to the story. Msoni is your MMD mate so do not bring in other people in your internal squabbles.Â
@#23 dixx us in MMD sleep enough bcos we have no competition. the only man who has tried we have walloped him three times and he admitted that he could not beat MMD on his own thats why he sought help from UPND. these elections will be very easy for MMD bcow we have prepared adequately while the opposition still talks of 90 days rubbissh even a retarede child would laugh at such a cheap joke. dream on ba DINX keep envying
First, RB wins the election, then you start your injunctions, then your injunctions will be dismissed like the chiluba case. As simple as that!!
those who were in government during the heydays of corruption believe that no one can run government without being corrupt hence the empty allegations. when they see the money being pumped into infrastructure they say to themselves “whaa, if only we could lay our hands on that cool cash!!!”. everyday when i read the post i see imaginary cases of corruption being manufactured and planted in the minds of gullible citizens on daily basis, the post does not even mention how the villain that they wrote about has now turned into a change agent. fortunately, many people are now coming to their senses and see the post for what it is, not the god that it was a few years ago.
@Lady Gaga.
2001-3% of the vote,2006-29% of the vote,2008- 38% of the vote and only 33000 votes off RB!Anyone who studies the figures and trends ought to be worried.Go to http://www.patriotic-front.com and see why Kabimba and co are so bullish about this years election.
Questioning nationality…………..and how long has this dude been in power?
Obama even has Irish heritage!!!!! Why is he only refered to as ‘African’ American?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13496918
You ultimately are what you choose to be. Obama identifies himself as African American
Should it be an issue where the prezident iz born or indeed the originz of hiz/her parents, be it Mongolia, Massachusetts, Muntenguleni or Mweru-Wantipa? KK iz alleged to have originated from Nyasaland, but didn’t the man do wonderz in the liberation and building of this country, yet no one had a problem with that? Â Â
where were you chaps..?you are too dull ..
Obama Kenyan born in Amarica
Kaunda Malawian born in Zambia
Chiluba Congo/Zairean born in Congo/zaire Late Mwanawasa only zambian born in Chamuka near Ngwerere.
Banda born in Gwanda Zibmbabwe.
Ba Sata born in Tanzania
The next president should be a Zambian born in the UK, while looking for a good leader from the diaspora. Lets put our heads together and choose who can lead Zambia who is going to change the face of lusaka and Zambia as a whole
Abena zambia we direct our energies to the wrong directions. some of ur contributions are quite boring.
Imwe bafintu, let us follow what the current constutitution says. If it bars Lupiya because of his Gwanda roots, let it be so.
RB is amnesiac, he was in Zimbabwe with Mugabe and he was telling the reporters how proud he was to be born in Zimbabwe. He admitted being a foreign and he lied on nomination papers, lying to much makes a person fail to differentiate the truth and lies. The truth always catch up with you, no matter how many times you lie. RB should tell the truth about his origins
I think we can only start using the parents’ card a 100 years from now when we have enough generations born in Zambia. Presently a large no  of us are not Zambians but Lozis, Ngonis, Chebas Lundas Tongas The nation needs to be built before claiming that some are more Zambian than others.
Make your own minds up bloggers. The Constitution states that a person born in or outside Zambia… shall become a citizen of Zambia at the date of his birth if on that date at least one of his parents is a citizen of Zambia. To qualify to contest the Presidency, one should be a citizen of Zambia and both his parents should be Zambian by birth or descent.
This is a very serious case, Obama had to produce his birth certificate on the internet for the Americans to see, why should RB be ruling the country if he was born in Zimbabwe, I am sure he did not even naturalise to be Zambian. We need to see the records before the elections.
What rubbish…no one is above the constitution. Please don’t expose your ignorance with your petty partisan comments. Be constructive for once…why too many cadres!!!
