Information, Broadcasting and Tourism Minister Given Lubinda has said that former Republican Vice President George Kunda should be the last person to give advice on how the media should operate.

Mr. Lubinda said that Mr. Kunda has no right to attack the operations of any media, whether private or public.

Speaking at a media briefing at his office, also attended by heads of public media, Mr. Lubinda said that it is surprising how Mr. Kunda can suddenly change his stance on the public media when he and former Information Minister Ronnie Shikapwasha were in the forefront agitating for the regulation of the media.

Reacting to Mr. Kunda’s attacks on the public media for allegedly being biased in its reporting, Mr. Lubinda reminded the former Vice President that he is on record of praising freelance journalist Chanda Chimba III of being a professional journalist.

And QFM reports that Mr. Lubinda has agreed with Mr Kunda’s advice to members of the opposition MMD to brace themselves for hard times following investigations launched by the PF government of former government officials.

He has since reminded Mr. Kunda that he should not expect the PF Government to investigate politicians that never served in government and stated that government is determined in its fight against corruption.

  1. Good tell them man. Tell them that Zambians want all thieves like Kunda to in. Tell them that the fight is real, they thought PF GRZ was jocking the way RB used to. Go go Lubinda and PF, we are behind you man.

  2. Kunda naye ni citizen with full rights…he did wrong things yes! but two wrongs dont make a right. olila samukata pa kamwa lekani alile mavuto yake yo zifunila!

  3. Kunda chipuba, he has forgotten already, he is the one who was in the fore front , supporting Shikapwasha what nonsense he was speaking. how come now. As PF we never used your ZNBC, Shut up you imilo ukukashika.

  4. Kunda should just shut up and concentrate on getting well, the man is sick, at one of the election rallies last year , he had to excuse himself 3 times to visit the loo (DIARRHOERR). By the way where is BIG NOSE SHIKAPWASHA?

  5. chanda chimba 3 is the best journalist ever because he based his reporting on facts,infact he was just quoting membe

    • i discovered your wbetise on reddit in addition to believed i would are available in and have a appear. fascinating concept youve however i will possess a number of other people f you have an interest. they are able to assist or maybe may not however its well worth a go.

  6. Za Yellow Lubinda, put the ball down . You have bigger fish to fry than worry about George Kunda. 2016 is not far bans. you will have nothing to show other than rants aimed at the opposition.. pass the same message to Gay Scott,will you

  7. iwe Lubinda corruption is corrutiop period.whether someone served in government or not.so do not use that lame excuse.Let Kunda talk ,its his right.What if he is born again now .your friends in the name of Mwambas .Chungus of this world you welcome with open hands.your opponents you have to call all media houses with their heads just to denounce somebody over his right.

  8. Ka Kunda shiki yafika kumutwe nomba kalesabailafye ka chi colour. Twalekweba beanbag ball bay ati ukunyenger watemwa kulepaisha. Wamona nomba ka swine.

  9. ”Mr. Lubinda said that Mr. Kunda has no right to attack the operations of any media, whether private or public”…..you are now in charge of giving rights saladi sorry kaladi?

  10. bla bla bla bla ba PF no developmental agenda……soon it will be pwetu pwetu pwetu with no post the shinda paper….on there side  watch the space

  11. Yes most of the issues that Chanda Chimba was raising about sata were photocopied from the Post Editorials of the period before sata became the Post’s darling. It was mmembe and the now press assistant to sata. That is Mmembe’s language.

  12. KUNDA THE RED LIPS IS JUST REAPING FROM WAT HE SOWED, HE IS SUFFERING FROM DIMENTIA… HE IS BEHAVING LIKE A MAD PERSON PLIZ TAKE THIS THING CALLED KUNDA TO CHAINAMA

  13. Let us face – the media was worse under the Rupiah Banda – George Kunda rule. Now I can afford to tune in to ZNBC, buy the times and daily mail and actually read the public media’s views. They are still self sensoring though and they need to do be more independent. My prayer is that Given Lubinda and Michael Sata wont back peddle on this correct path they have embarked on. Fight Corruption, Clean up the Media and put more money in people’s pockets. I have every confidence that the end of the five year term of PF, many good things will emerge to the benefit of all of us – I am impressed that oil will start flowing from Angola – I have always wondered why we have not done so earlier!!! God bless the PF leadership – and continue being a listening govt.

    • Lawrence RI would tell you that you should cointnue to not have any credit card debt. If you can manage it, don’t have any other type of debt either. Save your money and pay cash. It’s amazing what amount of discount you can get when you will pay cash. If you move on to a home mortgage, some lenders can use manual underwriting to qualify you if you don’t have a good credit score. They will look at your income versus debt and not simply your FICO score.

  14. waona manje kakunda mufana wense kuona monga ndiwe ochenjela kaaa where z ur friend big nose asiba ati yazanda ali ziii sata nao ali peeeeee dora chibe chachoka pamatako sangainvele nanyele maje ahhhhhhhhhhh.

    • You’ve written a good asnonishitgly thought-provoking post. Your information talks to me and that i share inside your sights. countless writers don’t write original material, but you have really achieved the awesome work with this particular information.

  15. When Mpombo said “they will dance PELETE” i thought he was joking but alas, nomba nabamba ukufwenkula pelete starting with RB( Rubbish Bin) Dora (Obscene) Kunda ( Walking funeral) Liato( Cash crop farmer) Musokotwane (tour de france bicycle supplier) Konga ( chifine man) Nevers (Pastor Vobola) Tandiwe ( Billionaire primary school teacher) 

  16. Remember the hon. Shikapwasha fast asleep in parliament and how the big nose wasw exposed, good picture that was. Kunda is a pathological liar and suffering from dementia, now he wants public sympathy, to hell with him.

    • bdancer222You are entitled to a free cridet report each year from each of the cridet bureaus. However, scores are proprietary and you have to pay.The best place to get your FICO score (which is the one cridetors use) is MyFico.com. You have to pay but you get a real FICO score and not out of date or Fako.If you pay your bills on time and monitory your cridet report for accuracy, your score will take care of itself. Scores don’t change that much. You build a good score by building a good payment history.

  17. This is January 2012. We expect the Govt to deliver development rather than dwell on unproductive witch hunts just to intertain PF cadres. As Minister of Information and Tourism Lubinda must develop plausible Acts of Parliament to instil freedom of the press and curtail (not encourage) pouchers from exterminating our wildlide which is a vital foreign exchange earner. Each Minister must specialise in his/her own national discipline.

  18. What is this son of a beach doing in Zambia. Lubinda should not take the peace he is enjoying now for granted. MCS will soon die and all whites or half casts will go. Mark my words. the Guy has become so big headed that he thinks he can manipulate every one

  19. at one time Sata was the # 1 enemy of the Post he even use to boost that if they cant write something about him they wont sale,and thats what Chanda Chimba use to base his stories on but no one has explained to us how Sata became a “saint” in the eyes of the Post…DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE CHANGE…

  20. Kunda should just heed Mmeembe advice. Buy a lot of rolls of tissue (toilet paper) ndipo ba MMD muzakaula no dwala na shiki ((DIARRHOER).

  21. i thought election compaigns were over. I donot know why people are still attacking each other as if they want votes. can those entrusted with responsibilities please get down to work. Actions speak louder than words. So the government should just prove by actions and not words. Bo minister you are wasting your energy and intelligence by arguing with the losers. I want to advise you to get down to serious work and your actions will prove you right period

  22. # 17 Mabvuto, Your posting is hilarious, so funny and the one I liked most is ‘ Musokotwane the tour de France bicycle supplier’.
    #24 JoJo, It’s sad that you take so much pleasure in extreme racism when the whole world is united in condemning the scourge. Fortunately Zambia is not a racist nation.

  23. @25 sata is good at managing conflicts ulike UPND. Look at how he handled Levy and Wamutarika. If UPND could learn atleast this from him ; they will be better than they are now.

  24. the coloured has no right to stop honourable kunda from speaking, this is arrogance.i know that cikala-di is always drowse with ganja when ever he is on radio or television.development is wat we need not amarabish evryday.

  25. PLEASE PF DO NOT CONCETRATE ON WHO STOLE WHAT AND IF THEY DID WHY DONT YOU TAKE THEM TO COURT.
    WE WANT TO SEE THE PROJECTS IN ALL THE PROVINCES OTHERWISE 2016 KU YA BEBELE.
    DO NOT LIE TO YOURSELVES OF SECOND TERM NO. THE INCOMING RULING PARTY WILL ALSO DO THE SAME TO YOU. BY THE WAY WHAT ABOUT SATAS SON WHO HAS NOW TWO EXPENSIVE VEHICLES WHERE DID HE GET THE MONEY WITHIN 90 DAYS. BUT MULAIBEPA BA PF YOUR TIME IS COMING SINCE IN ZAMBIA WE HAVE CHEAP POLITICS OF VENDETA.

  26. Ati dora siliya is ill and z suffering from polomya shiki pweekepweee ukunya umwenso….. Ati soft bums, kwafuma diarhoea
