Former Republican President Rupiah Banda has told former MMD National Secretary Katele Kalumba to shut up. Mr Banda reaction follows Dr Kalumba’s recent statement that the three MMD presidents are to blame for the party’s deregistration by the Registrar of Societies for failure to submit annual returns.

Speaking on MUVI TV’s Assignment programme, the former head of State said it was not him who convicted Dr Kalumba on corruption charges, and that he was the former national secretary he would shut up. Mr Banda wondered whether Dr Kalumba was trying to win favours from the PF government with his utterances.

Dr Kalumba described Mr Banda’s exit from the MMD presidency as deceitful, meant to cover up for his failure to be responsible for the mess he has created in the former ruling party.

And Mr Banda says the Patriotic Front Government should be given a chance to implement their policies. He says the PF has only been in power for five months to be judged on that basis.

And Mr Banda says there is no nowhere he went wrong during his three years as president to regret about. He said that his defeat and that of the MMD in the 2011 elections by the Patriotic Front was not because he did wrong things but that time had come for change because the MMD had been in power for 20 years.

Mr Banda has also stated that no one will shut him up from commenting on issues he feels he should comment on.

And Meanwhile the fourth republican president also disclosed how he lived in a leaking State House adding that he had no plans to build another one as insinuated by his rivals.

On widespread calls to remove his immunity, Mr. Banda said he was ready to lose it but only if he is found guilty of having abused state resources. He also revealed that he dropped Vernon Mwaanga as his campaign manager due to his questionable character.

On the country’s African Cup of nations (AFCON) achievement, the Former Football Association of Zambia-(FAZ) Patron says National Soccer team Coach, Herve Renard should consider bringing every player on board as Zambia prepares for the world and Africa cup qualifiers.

The former head of state says in as much as the national team won the Africa cup of nations trophy, FAZ should go back to the drawing board and prepare for prospective assignments. Banda, who is an ardent soccer fan, says the association should dig deeper and search for more and untapped talented players.

He expressed happiness that Renard has forgiven Clifford Mulenga, who was explled from the AFCON team, as the team needs everyone on board. Banda adds that he is available for any help regarding football, as it is the unifying factor.

Zambia’s first assignment after winning the Africa cup of nations trophy is the World cup qualifier against Sudan on June 1 followed by another match against Ghana a week later The Former Zambian president is this week expected to travel to America at the invitation of Boston University for three-months, where he is expected to lecture on democracy.

  1. What is wrong with this witch (katele)? Nothing will stop PF to get Kalumba on his corruption charges. Remember the London Judgement will be held soon in the laws of Zambia. If that is done, Kulumba you are also going to Chimbwakaela. Laptop witchcraft.

  2. Katele Kalumba thinks Zambians cannot see through his schemes. You’re spot on RB. One has to wonder why the POST (aka Meembe) is now constantly publishing the nonsense from this corrupt thief! Are they trying to launder him?

  3. RB AM GLAD YOU NEVER TALKED ILL OF PF WHEN YOUR DISCIPLES ARE BUSY TALKING NONSENSE. IF BEFORE YOU HAD BEEN SPEAKING THE WAY YOU DID LAST NIGHT, I DON’T THINK YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN DESPISED TO SOME EXTENT.
    BE HH’S ADVISOR AND HELP HIM TO GROW UP.

    I AGREE WITH YOU, KATELE SHOULD JUST SHUT UP. IF HE HAS SCORES TO SETTLE, THE PF WILL DEFINITELY HELP HIM DO IT. HE WON’T ESCAPE JUSTICE.

  4. katele is a disgrace who only needs his immediate familys’ attention and has no moral right to open his mouth/ traditional laptop on national issues.

  5. I think the Law in Zambia is too tilted towards favouring the politically string like Katele. This man is a convict as he stands. BUT he is out of prison. The courts are taking years to end the apeal process so that he can serve his sentence. As things stand now, he only has possibly 1 more year to save with the other served outside the prison. This is not fair. I suggest that if a convict is outside prison during the appeal process and the sentence is upheld, he must serve all the sententece in prison and the counting must start from the day he got his bail. these rantings could be reduced. Cheers

  6. Katele is a convict. PF promised us JOBS not setting convicts FREE. Why is his appeal taking too long? Katele “Computer” is a Jail bid and must be locked up.

  7. Kwendo Munjila just shut up and fly away to the USA.You did lots of wrong no wonder you are the shortest serving president so far.Stay in Boston dont come back or else immunity will be lifted

  8. Miaow :) Claws are out. Let’s see the response from the public scratching. Keep talking Sir. Most amusing after your long silence. I know there are a few waiting to here more… Oh – the thing is telling someone to shut up doesn’t necessarily have the desired result but it brings back watching another Zed president. The days of ‘Shut up stupid *****. Sit down!’ School of KK to journalists :) Tickled.

  9. Katele is looking for a job. He knows one thing for sure, he is as guilty as Sata himself. What he is trying to communicate is the fact that he is a victim of a common enemy, the late Mwanawasa who prosecuted him for defrauding Zambia. Embezzling of public funds is not considered a crime in Zambia, at least in the eyes of Sata and Katele.

  10. Dr. Kalumba has demonstrated that he is a failed politician unable to master the basic principles of psychology as his profession. As former MMD Secretary General he has puzzled many for displaying unorthodox stance of publicly criticising his own Party just because he is out of the mainstream of national politics. Even divorced descent men and women do not reveal bedroom problems after a divorce in order to sustain the welfare of their biological children. RB has provided a correct prescription for Katele in order to consolidate the integrity of MMD. However if Sata tries to rescue Katele in deep waters, the two will go down drowning together at the onset of a stormy weather. This is time to pass on the MMD Presidency to Dr. Musokotwane to unify Zambia.

  11. THEY,KATELE AND BWEZANI,ARE LOOKING FOR SYMPATHY,AND I ADVISE THEY ALL KEEP COOL FOR THE COBRA IS STILL TIMING AND ONE IS ONLY LUCKY WHEN THE COBRA MISSES.GOOD LUCK.

  12. i love u rb u lili encourage me with the thruth how i wish u were stil president alot us wil miss u during yo tenure the economy pick up not this ukwa that were watching every day trying to name air ports and district thinking that his fellow membe wil hav more money in the pockets marabish manya we are watching u foolish and i regret my vote

  13. Thanks RB, statesman, diplomat and democrat par excellence. We have lost confidence in tomorrow but when you speak it is really inspiring and soothing too, the way a baby feels when suckling from its mum.

  14. My choice of MMD president to succeed RB are Dr Musokotwane, Kabinga Pande and Felix Mutati, but out of the three I think that the best challenge to PF and the best unifying factor for Zambia by far is Dr Musokotwane.

  15. RB has no shame at his age. He is keeping MMD money in his account and he is being allowed to run away with it. All those who do not know the intricacies of MMD just wait. The truth will be revealed. He is running away from being responsible for running away from MMD. What a coward he is especially after being given the Presidency on a silver plate. He should not hide in Katele’s court cases – let him respond, why is he failing to bail out MMD that honoured him with the Presidency over many others who could have done better? He made MMD lose because he was selfish and blinded by the wealth which he now calls family money. What a sham. How did he buy all those vehicles for MMD? He has left a mess for MMD to solve, he is running like a thief in the night. His time will come.

    • This wedding is so anzmiag i love the attention to every detail , is so elegant and chic. You guys did an awesome job i love the photos in the library looking lobby , everything is great i hope i will get to shoot a wedding at that place sometime..

  16. Good night blogers.good night Alaa Bee Kwendo Munjila-safe flight tomorow,good night VJ-hope to read your book,good night UKWA -enjoy your stay in Bots,good night LT

  17. Zambians you are the most ungrateful and so shallow minded that; you cannot even appreciate what Mr. Herve Renard has done for your country, stop barking orders at him and let the humble coach get on with his job. You are paying him peanuts when he can earn millions elsewhere, he chose to humbly stay with Zambia because he puts football first before money and he genuine believe in the hard working players the Chipolopolo boys. So other than opening your rotten mouths be grateful. Just look at England, they are struggling and haven’t won a merger competition in years and right now they envy the job Mr.Herve Renard is doing and has done plus his commitment to Zambia

  18. Luapula Province voted for PF with the understanding that this DISGRACED former general secretary of MMD will be forgiven by Ukwa because according to their culture stealing from public resources is not a crime just the Ukwa himself.He has made himself a fortune with mansions dotted around Lusaka simply gained by helping himself from GRZ coffers.These Bemba thieves are responsible for the suffering many Zambians are going through.The blood of those little babies dying on the lines waiting to be seen by some unprofessional doctors is on their hands indeed.

  19. RB RB RB RB RB RB THATS A LAPTOP SCIENTIST YOU ARE PLAYING WITH PLEASE PLEASE ENJOY YOUR BENEFITS BA KATELE CAN DELETE YOU FOR LIFE WE WANT TO SEE YOU MORE N 4 EVER

  20. Katele kalumba has every right to blame rupiah banda,because the president received the money on behalf of the party . What did he do with it. obviously needs of the party were tabled including money being owed by the party. He is likely to have said, forget it .The lesson to learn from this is that, people will agree with wahtever the leader says because he is the boss but when he is no longer boss, they will stand up and say it . So be careful how you manage others. Never use authority all the time. Sometime use consesus

  21. Katele is right the real culprit is Rupiah Banda, he is the second worst Zambian President after Chiluba. These two presidents were running the country like mafia bosses. A lot of money went missing during the presidency of these two heads of states. Katele Kalumba is not innocent either though, his problem was that he did not steal enough, he was convicted for theft of ony $5,000 which is petty cash for the big boys.

  22. RB has not addressed issues raised by KaKa. He has instead gone into attack mode. RB should wind the clock back and look into his personnality. To date no one ca account for the resources in his extravagant campaign. It’s been reported that VJ was dropped because he didn’t agree with the campaign message. If indeed he had planned to step down, why did he respond to young Muteteka in that manner? If he had belived in MMD, why did he operate parallel structures such as MMD Task Force, Die Hard Youth wing etc? Where did Malanji get the money that he used to through around? He deceive others but definitely not some of us. He largely shares in the MMD misfortunes. As for KaKa, time will tell. Days are numbered

  23. Is my former President suggesting that a citizen can have the executive to interfere in a judicial process? Does my former President know of any such situations?

  24. Katele, this time you will not get it right, we all know you, Utumano utwamuselela kwakaba. Leave RB alone, he is our 4th president and respect to elders. Our Former Presidential, keep the Zambian flag high. Forget akaiche kakatele.
