CHIEF Government spokesperson and Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services Kennedy Sakeni has strongly reacted to a press statement made by ADD leader Charles Milupi that his interaction with the people in the Eastern Province showed that the people in the province were dissatisfied with the PF Government.
In a press statement made available to the media, Mr Sakani said Mr Milupi deliberately ignored to mention the fact that PF has gained popularity in Eastern Province since last year’s general elections.
Below is the Full Press Statement
STATEMENT BY HON. KENNEDY SAKENI, MP, MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND BROADCASTING SERVICES ON ALLEGATIONS BY ADD LEADER CHARLES MILUPI THAT THE PF GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED TO DELIVER ON ITS PROMISES
It is day dreaming for ADD leader Charles Milupi to assume that the PF Government has lost popularity because of its alleged failure to fulfil campaign promises.
Mr Milupi says he was making this statement from Katete in Eastern Province and that his interaction with the people in the Province showed that they were dissatisfied with the PF Government.
But Mr Milupi deliberately ignored to mention the fact that PF has gained popularity in Eastern Province since last year’s general elections. The PF now has a parliamentary seat in Eastern Province where it did not get any seat in last year’s tripartite elections.
This is a sign of the confidence the people of Eastern Province and the country at large, have in the PF Government under the leadership of His Excellency President Michael Chilufya Sata.
The fact of the matter is that PF’s popularity is nationwide. That is why it won last year’s tripartite elections with a resounding mandate from the people of Zambia. But opportunists like Mr Milupi cannot acknowledge this for obvious reasons.
The PF Government has a five year mandate and it has so far done less than a year.
It is therefore cheap politicking for Mr Milupi to expect the PF Government to deliver all its election promises in less than a year it has been in office.
Contrary to Mr Milupi’s baseless allegations, the PF Government is on course to deliver development to the people of Zambia in accordance with its promises and programmes.
We promised to deliver a people-driven Constitution within the shortest time possible. True to our commitment, a Technical Committee Drafting the Republican Constitution, has released the first Draft which has been distributed to all parts of the country for public comment and scrutiny. We are confident that sooner than later, Zambians will come up with a new Constitution they will proudly call their own and which will stand the test of time.
This Governnment has deepened and widened the fight against corruption so that the country’s resources do not end up in the pockets of a greedy few. We have since restored the Abuse of Office Clause in the ACC Act which the previous Government had removed at the height of their loot and plunder of public resources.
As a result, during the past 11 months of the PF Administration, there has been renewed and sustained donor confidence which had waned following the wanton plunder of public resources during the MMD rule.
We have increased the pace of devolving power from the centre to the people, as enshrined in our Constitution. This can be seen in the creation of the 10th Province (Muchinga), and several new districts around the country.
Our commitment to gender parity is unprecedented as can be seen in the landmark appointments of the womenfolk to high and influential positions in the Public Service and other sectors of the country.
As for Eastern Province where Mr Milupi claims to have been speaking from, only last Saturday, President Sata, through Finance Minister Hon. Alexander Chikwanda, announced a massive roll-out of a developmental master plan for the Province which will see the PF Government spend over K567 billion on infrastructure projects.
From the foregoing, it is clear that this Government is on the right path to deliver to the people of Zambia and will not allow itself to be derailed or delayed by the likes of Mr Milupi who have no agenda for this country.

29th August, 2012
Its not about 5year mandate, wat dd you promise the electrorate, you are going mundende all ba pama fi
Hahahaha
Monkeys are jumping in the Kitchen… its very clear now its very HOT. Giving statements on every little bit. What time do they work?
If you can react the same way to unemployment and health problems ,then this country will be a better place to live.
walasa!
Patriotic failures big and running mouth. YOU DONT EVEN QUALIFY TO CALL YOUR SELF HONORABLE. What you are forgetting is that the father of lies won a a 90 days theory. Wait and see how we will kick you out.big disappointment to the Zambians
visit politics ya pa zed page on face book and leave your commits
Totally agree with you mr. Minister. It’s just too early for people to judge the PF gvt. The PF has a 5 year mandate and only less than a year in office and obviously it has to be maybe after two years before people can see the developments. People were patience with MMD when they assumed power but are impatience wih PF. PF critisers need to grow up and get a life.
They say that good day start in the morning. It looks like its already midnight.:(:(:(
‘People were patience with MMD when they assumed power but are impatience wih PF’. Ndiye chizungu chamu pf ici?
@Tell It Like It Is. Ukumekela muchitundu chabe. Mulekwatako insoni. Being proud of other people’s language? Priceless!
MMD lost direction towards the 4th year or there about but these guys look lost within a year of being in power. Besides you do not expect that we should ignore wrong just because MMD lasted 20 years in power. Beside if it was not for the political engineering that saw KK and other imprisoned and intimidated by the late political engineer, MMD would have only lasted 5 years and these guys were part of it. MMD had to rig elections from the 1996 one until the failed to rig this last one.
It’s not Milupi who made 100 promises to deliver this or that within 90 days. It was the Sakeni’s PF, so arsenals should be aimed at them. The best Sakeni can do is to liase with his S.G. Kabimba who has said that delivering within 90 days was not their priority, but to get a stranglehold on power first. Then begin to deliver. So Sakeni, it’s not everything that you need to react to.
Oh just shut up Nsunge for goodness sake!
If reacting to every criticism was rain ,our country would be experiencing serious floods by this time.
LOL…… how true!!
This statement makes me laugh. One can easily see how the PF is struggling to point out the achievements so far attained because there are non. He goes on to talk about the constitution being delivered in the “SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME” avoiding to mention that they promised to roll out the constitution within 90 days. What a shame!
spot on! What a big shame! There is nothing positive they have achieved.
It’s hot in the kitchen! Honestly, this govt will go down in history as the worst Zambia has ever had. And people will be saying this in 2212……200 years from now! Whenever I look at the faces of Sata, sakeni, kambwili, mwamba then compare them to the face of my dog; I only see intelligence on the face of my dog.
Sakeni and his tribalistic brothers are living in fool’s paradise and are detached from what is happening at the grassroots if they think they are still popular. The people of Zambia are not so stupid as to follow you blindly – even when they can see your unveiled tribalism, nepotism and utter ineptitude. By your actions you have distanced yourselves from the people. Across the country your popularity is in free fall. You are not darlings of the people anymore and will be in for a rude awakening because of your chosen path of leadership. You crooks are too small for Zambia and you are not the kind of leadership this great nation deserves!!
pf get to work and deliver .fulfil your promises
imwe sure ba Sakeni you don’t even know the no. Of MP’s you have in eastern province! Is it 1,2 or 3? C’mon to me you are showing that you just lazy in the office hence the time to answer to anything…. Dont Change Goal posts, you lied we heard and now we are judging you and your characters, our results will show when we Vote you out…..
Just a little piece of advise to the ministers.i think it is not your duty to look for what the opposition are saying on a daily basis and react.it would do good for you to settle and begin to work to the satisfaction of the Zambians.What we need is progress and development period.not defending what people are not able to see.You will bring our party down if you keep this root.please get down to work.We want to see what you can do as ministers not just being defensive.
Can these people shut up and get to work. We are tired. We need to put tape on their ever yapping mouths maybe they can get some work done.
Its not too early to judge PF performance. i would hold hope and give them a benefit of doubt if what they had done up to now was comandable and they had a cabinet to deliver on their promises. What the president has put on the ground to work for the nation is a pack of tribesmen – some of who can not “tell dung from shit”! And as a thinking citizen who loves my fatherland, i must continue to believe we have a winning team? No way Jose!!! This retard has the audacity and cheek to stand up to defend this rot? These clowns can not pull any more wool over our faces! This “apology of leadership” will not wash with the people anymore.
Imwe ba Ganizani if you keep posting such comments CNP might be forced to step down,please,please, continue.,its a revolution in the making.
Stand up and be counted.We must all emulate Bo Milupi. speak out don`t hide in tribal bullsheet and hate.This country is going to the DOGS! One day will look back and say these are the men and women who saved our country and will decorate them with medals. Not decorataring a ka musician becasue he sang a ka song which mislead youths( and generaly all fools) into putting a monkeys into govt & state house. Let`s support real people with real issues load shedding,Suzuki police etc.
I am talking about real heroes eg HH & Milupi
Government of failures and dull guys. They cant ignore even a simple statement from an opposition leader. This just shows that the minister have nothing to do in their offices. Soon it will be GBM attacking Milupi. What a govt! I wish Lubinda was their only spokesperson.
“It is day dreaming for ADD leader Charles Milupi to assume that the PF Government has lost popularity because of its alleged failure to fulfil campaign promises”.
Foolish and ugly! How can you say day dreaming? What did we vote you into government for? To appoint relatives and tribesmen only?
Enjoy taxpayer money in Tshwane, eh? Are you Mr or missus beauty yourself? The anonymity of the web makes it possible for you and me to hide our “beautiful” faces!
Grow up & be realistic do not just criticize for the sake of being heard.Remember PF just took over.When a baby is born they first learn to sit,crawl,stand and then walk.
Be Mature and stop beakering !
Maybe some people need to constantly click the refresh button to be reminded that the entire PF Campaign Machinery is the one that promised to deliver this and that within 90 days. This is the bone of contention. Did they or did they not promise almost everything to be done within 90 days?
Much improved way respond, you can still do better Mr. Minister – Just hope GBM will not also issue another statement on this matter … tell him you have already responded please!
Hon. Minister, while the rebuttal with facts is appreciated, that should have been enough, without you being too harch on Mr. Milupi. Mr. Milupi is one of the politicians who speak with reason and often with facts. So in future, address those issues with level headedness and not necessarily to denounce the speaker, especially when the statement you are reacfting to is quite civil and sober. It may not be necessary to react to every statement, tho!!
FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CNP
Chaps in the opposition are really trying! Would it take you a whole day to come up with Sakeni’s sattement above? Ati when do they work!!! This is part of Sakeni’s job. Period! The mess in this country was too great for anyone to undo within 90 days!!! These guys are trying and they still have a mandate. Let’s try to respect that. Governing a country is no walk in the park and at least these guys care about what the masses are saying unlike complacent MMD who started taking everybody for a ride thinking, “Zambians always complain but they eventually get tired and shut up”. Checks and balances are welcome but when we get unreasonable, the whole process loses it’s meaning.
You are lost
Ziget, PF said they would do they job in 90 days (not shortest possible time). And they were given the job on that basis! If it was lie, why stay in office. Let them get out and we give it to honest people.
well, they have certainly lost my vote, thats for sure Hon. Minister.
I will still vote for a team that promises hope and remain visionary.
make it two votes
i wonder,Sakeni respond to evry cough by da opposition.What tym r dey requestng,wat is happening?i enjoy dis…..
we are seeing massive developement in the issuanse of nonsensical press statements.Why are these guys following every word opposition leaders utter.it shows immaturity and lack of leadership.The boat is sinking
From unrealistic optimism to the reality shock and then taking constructive direction on which PF must laed. that is how people respond to the change they like and only managers could understant!!
These Dimwits do they work? CNP -GRZ all are failures.Shame on them!!
The minister has clearly elaborated what they done in 11 months & what they intend to do in the mandate of 5yrs,can the empty versils so called opposition fools heroes point out only 1 achiement they have scored so far in 11 months..??? bcoz now there is no more to privatise, so you want to come & privatise the entire zambia. Critise to build not to destroy or privatization. what type of animals are you who start attacking the Govt. from day 1,try to emulate the smart young and vibrant Mr. Elias Chipimo junior who gives credit were it is due,anyway by embrasing the convicts your minds is polluted and flock and think the same hence making them special adviser to the HH and the results always negativity hence UPND vomiting sheet of negativity…shame on you HH,you soon grow old with hatred
Leave them, they will die of envy.
The Boy wants to come and privatise State House.Tonga Fool
The PF government has named our airports, has brought in new districts and a new province, has appointed a Malawian High Court judge to head a tribunal, has continued completing projects started by the MMD! I wish the list could also include: “Has created 15,000 jobs for youths by…, has completed a people-driven contitution that will stand the test of time and politics, has improved on agriculture production and we expect a bumper harvest, has put in place a national airline, has improved exports to balance international trade, has…etc!
PF is doing fine given the high level of incompetence and plunder that was perpetuated by one unseasoned chancer in the name of RB and gang, therefore the clean up will take long but cant we applaud the positive things done;
1. Reinstating the Abuse of Office Clause 2. Statutory Instrument on Minimum Wages 3. Re affirmed Constitution process 4. Women appointment is higher positions 5. Decentralisation 6. Respecting our traditional leaders 7. fight against corruption 8. Introduction of Youth Bank, 9. Rebassing the Kwacha and strengthening it 10. Land Audit 11. Sanity at FRA 12. Separation of govt wings of power 13. Minimal presidential trips 14. Focused civil service 15. Vision beyond the leader 16. No burrying money in the ground 17. Combating TB and HIV 18. Sovereignity stance.
i agree with 1, 13, the rest are figments of imagination or required no real effort at all
@29,it is folly to judge the PF government merely on the poor performance of the previous government which you seem to indicate was led by Ali Baba & the 40 thieves. That’s the whole reason they were fired. Playing to the gallery aside, the PF governments blatant assault on institutions of democracy like the judiciary (to benefit their friends), freedom of expression and police professionalism are seriously worrying signs. You wouldn’t “wait and see” what happens on a bus where the driver damages breaks, headlights, rear & side view mirrors – the result is totally predictable and the fact that the previous driver stole some of the money before cashing in would be little if no comfort at all when the inevitable happens.
Iwe Osama Bin Laden, go back to the world of the dead. Your sentiments are clearly not from this world. This Sakeni is full of sh…t all the time and every time.
Sakeni’s thoughts are well articulated, its you who have no vision, leave ZED to move forward.
Zambians waste too much politicking than working, change your stance and do more for your country, if you are patriotic. Problem, you spend too much time in bars gossiping than working and remaining focused.
@BMK, give that advise to the Minister.
Zambians have not been elected, nor paid to work for the country, its the government that has been elected to work for the benefit of all the people. People expressing their opinions and disappointment at the downward trend is neither destructive nor useless. If only to let the dreaded shu shu shu who are ancient relics from a past we do not want to see return, that the people and not the party and its government hold power. We know that people’s discontent and disappointment is registering with a government on whom so many staked their hope for meaningful change. Who knows it might yield more results than these pathetic, and frankly annoying statements now being issued by representatives of this disappointing government and its party.
You see how you forget easily! Let me remind you, you promised to deliver everything in 90days not shortest possible time. What a govt? Who can trust u you? 2de u open parliament with a promise of delivering a constitution in 90days, 2moro debase the kwacha on 30th june? Pls have shame. Opposition pls continue s
tatements. Look at the cbd of lsk. Its like a big shunt. U can’t face the people u stall votes from. What mandate do you have? To cause confusion where there was order? U are just creating problems for the future. DN club
you are correct PF has created confusion where thing were okay, look at our cities they are so dirty than the way MMD left them, minimum wage how will a shop in kaputa manage to pay that wage
@28 Osama, no wonder you will remain a retard. The story is about Milupi and not HH. Even if you are full of hate for HH this is a completely unnecessary attack. You do not seem to understand the role of an opposition in a democracy. The Labour Party in the UK has been attacking the Conservatives and Liberal Democrat govt from day one and they have not been called bitter or full of hate. They are only fulfiling their role as an opposition as MCS and PF did not give MMD any room to breathe when they were in opposition. People judge you by your deeds and not your words, if the govt of PF is indeed working, then they should ignore the statements from the opposition and work. Voters will themselves make judgement.
It is not what you say or do that matters, it is what the people feel.
Pathetic Failures Zambia cannot afford condoning them longer than necessary because they are not only a public liability but more also clear and present danger to the country, people and the hard earned democracy. They belong in hell where feasting with Lucifer in doom abound.
Despicably President Sata has manifested as modern day Pharaoh of Zambia.
Tonga learn to be realistic/we will never vote for you.Any ways your is cattle rustling !
I have just come from traversing North Western (Solwezi, Mufumbwe, Zambezi) and Barotseland (Lukulu, Kaoma, Mongu), including very remote areas of the said districts. Nowhere did I find sympathetic words for PF and its Government (PIG). Yes ADD leader CM is right. PIG has lost ground, and the little support remaining is borne of intimidation and fear.
Have there ever been sympathetic words in any of those apart from Mongu.. who we all know are upset for obvious reasons……… dull..
Keep on reacting to every aspect raised by the opposition, yes, that is the right recipe you should always apply so as to strengthen the opposition. Please keep on reacting, in fact the opposition looks a legitimate government. And on one hand the opposition is assuming the role of an incumbent which is to internalize and digest pertinent national matters. The PF govt. has allowed its judgement to be clouded with emotional reactions. They have chosen a paradox reactionary attitude in lieu of maintaining their composure. There are playing a self defeating game in the hands of the opposition. The opposition has put them where it originally wanted them to be. The judges in this circus are the voters themselves and the voters have identified ‘hope’ as lacking in the PF group.
Malama Nsunge..is PF and SATA’s smallest DOG..pls use your brain to analyse national issues…SATA and PF are terriable failurers..SATA ZWAAAAA
Hamiyanze..just come out in open and say that you are supporting your bululu HH. You people have a tendency to complain all the time. RB it was the same and now its PF. When does it stop?
The so called minister forgot to add brazen tribalism and nepotism to the list of PF’s achievements. As for popularity, it is doubtful that PF is still popular in Lusaka and the Copperbelt. A few loud mouth bembas may make it appear popular but in actual fact it is not.
Most of you diasporan bloggers are completely clueless, dull and useless to Zed. You dont even know whats going on in your country. FYI. because of teh anti graft fight, The German Government has renewed funding to GRZ and approved a $200m funding line, Global fund Reinstated GRZ and approved $200m funding line to MoH. USAID, PEPFAR, JSI Deliver and other health sector multilateral partners renewed AIDS funding lines with additional $300m committed andcan now get to level 7 treatment. PEPFAR/JSI have now launched a new $100m TB campaign programme. Lending rates have come down to historical lows. banks have now reached $1b dollar balance sheet and expanded their credit to viable sectors. Mining, manufacturing equip are all over our highways. Nobody listens to or cares about HH here.
BANE..BA SATA BA KANGIWA..THE OLD MAN IS QIUTE…VERY MUTE..BECAUSE HE IS SHAMELESS..HE IS A LIER
The opposition are like ants inside a trunk of an elephant in a remote forest with no remotest possibility of a rescue plan except that it must keep on running in case some how the unwanted irritants fall off. The opposition must play their cards right and stay free of violence, that way, the audience of this hard fought match will choose one of the opposition parties as a preferred partner in developing Zambia. The party which wins the hearts should treat all Zambians as partners in development not as recipients of favours. The victors should behave as true servants all Zambians not as detached individuals who rule with intimidatory tactics coupled with tribalism, nepotism etc. We do not want people whose intentions are those of turning security forces into private armies for terror
Hon Sakeni has raised important points that Zambians have take in: Less than a year the constitution is on course, devolution of power, gender recognition, the first woman police, ACC and Vice Chancellor head, a number of PSs are women, then the minimum wage is another milestone that PF has delivered on it’s promises. Thums up for you guys. I am happy with your leadership. Go PF GO! Achieve achieve achieve. Zambia is ours and PF success is Zambian people success story. Amen.
Success story? This is a lie; as good as the 90 days one. Good lucky anyway … more money in your pocket.
all these unpopular opposition leaders and their tuma ignorant bloggers want to throw stones, talk trash and spew hatred but when responded to with hard hitting FACTS, they whinge like small babies claiming intimidation…. silly.. all of you just ranting.. Dispute and challenge the facts laid out clearly and put to your faces by Sakeni & GBM.. facts are facts. challenge them and stop crying like babies
They learnt all from PF
First cut is the deepest.First impression is the greatest test.No one can have any hope in someone who does pupu in his trousers or skirt-the moment you see such you just write-off.Only fools would cling to a sinking boat.
Most of you bloggers dont even have a clue on what’s going on the ground. You wake up in the morning and complain about PF. PF is doing the best under a very difficult economic climate left by MMD and all the bloggers do is complain. It was the same with RB, you called him names and its his excellence MC. If you think PF is not doing well then go ahead and offer positive critcism and dont just be a arm chair quarterback.
I forgot to mention the mighty Victory in Gabon, the Afcon Champions. Come on, it was under the PF leadership the cup came home. Since Zambia got independence, and UNIP and MMD were in power for over 20 years and there was no Afcon cup. Credit to UNIP and MMD we reached the finals but under PF, we brought the cup home. We are going to help PF count the achievements. Please all those supporting PF, bring in the achievements to encourage the Govt so that they can deliver more to the Zambian people.
You are full of it! Are the people of Zambia eating the Cup of Nations? Why do you blog without sence….. I do not know how it feels to be in Zambia but my all family migrated back on MMD days. I feel for the poor right now.
Truth hates and guilty ones are always afraid, why pay so much attention to opposition if you still have popularity? Just work baba and develop the country as you promised, pipo will judge for themselves, it does not matter whether Milupi is lying or not.
Look, whoever you are, an exponent of the hegemonic PF group. How can you brag about Zambia’s present status of being a recipient of hand outs (so called developmental aid). In academic cycles we classify that as unfortunate for a very rich country like Zambia to pick up crumbs from banquet tables of typical capitalists bosses. We do not give it a damn how long your inventory of donor countries/agencies is. It is a disgrace for one to brag about donor funds. Let Zambia be like our country South Africa, oh yes, it is capable of reaching our standards, its a matter of time before we look at that country as a major player. We are feeding Europeans for free, who ever thought that S. Africa could record massive economic growth in the face of bankruptcies in the US & Europe
Miyanzi Tekele Banda & Blue Blood you keep on lamenting that you were, you are and you still be popular indeed…!!! unfortunately which side are you now after elections.bcoz u dont read between the lines what is happening on the ground,2016 it will be worse for UPND bcoz even Young Generation Party will beat u to hell….Abakali tabalanda ni action …chabe..na state house plot 1 yaikata..!!!. I pity u guys mulasabaila sana….continue day dreaming by making too much noise and fighting whilst PF and other small political parties are busy making Big impact…mweemashilu..!!!
@ Osama Bin Laden is it the opposition that privatise? I think we are having too many thick heads here. How can the opposition privatise when they are not in power? So you have bought into the theory of saying HH privatised the Zambian Companies? If I were HH I would be very proud that as a mere citizen I was able to implement a Government Policy while everyone was watching. No my friend, it is not the opposition that privatise, it is the Government the owners of those companies. Shibukeni mwebantu! Bushe mwakulaumfwafye amafi ukufuma Mu POST?
@49 Lennox Luzipo, you have hit the nail on the head, it is only kaponyas in a banana republic like Zambia who shamelessly sing “successes” based on donor funding. The go to donors bowl in hand like malnourished people from some famine stricken region. Or is because most of their own are always on the streets saying “tulelombako ubwafwilisho”? It is in their genes so even when they are in government it is begging, begging and begging until Kingdom come.
@ Remak Makai your posting is interesting. It lacks substance and its full of rhetoric. My friend no one cares whether you appoint women only in all positions. as long as there is no performance, it is just a joke. You are not the first to implement the Minimum wage. It was there even during Kaunda’s time. Devolution of Powers is a pipe dream. Tell me which district runs itself. NONE! Creating unnecessary districts is not synonymous with devolution of powers. Didnt MMD also create Districts? Are you so young not to know that every President who takes over Government embarks on Constitution making process? It is a mere campaign gimmick for people like you who are so daft. AFCON has nothing to do with PF. Afterall we had already qualified before PF came in. Conclusion Zero achievement!
“Mr Milupi deliberately ignored to mention the fact that PF has gained popularity in Eastern Province since last year’s general elections. The PF now has a parliamentary seat in Eastern Province where it did not get any seat in last year’s tripartite elections” this is best rebuff-al he could come with? Mulipi said Government is losing popularity and for any thinking person he was referring to the loss of popularity after election and the MP was elected prior to the loss of popularity Milupi is referring to. If these people can fail to reason things as simple as this how are handling negotiations with other governments and investors where things are more complicated
PF GOVT IS NOT MAKING CITIZENS HAVE SENSE OF BELONGING…SATA HAS FAILED THE OUR ECONOMY.
Winning the 2012 Afcon and semi empowerment of women in Zambia by appointing them to positions previously occupied by males does not translate into major developments. All that which is unfolding in that part of Africa is that you have a couple of politicians in the incumbent government throwing a chain of unproductive irresponsible speeches whose audience is expected to clap their hands on empty stomachs. Come people, the only comment in line with people of that caliber,we can throw is that they are entitled to their natural right of disinterestedness. Do not fool us and your fellow Zambians. We are equally concerned because your country is 3 hours away from South Africa and it is rich in minerals, make no mistakes. Zambia needs a person like Mr HH to light up as a catalyst.
A NEW PRODUCT ON THE MARKET CALLED CHARLE MILUPI. MARKETING DIRECTOR,SAKENI. COST- FREE OF CHARGE.KEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKEKE.
NI HH..2016 ..MAY GOD BE WITH US ALL..
you lied to the people and the people voted for you.
GO …GO…GO H.H 2011 NI YANU BASAA….LESS GOOOO HHHHHHHHHH…THE JOURNEY TO STATE HOUSE IS FINISHING SO SOON
In Zimbabwe they say dollar for 2 in things they purchase because of shortage of change for something costing 50 cents. So Sakeni and SATA cost $1, No change.
Buy HH you will get your full change.
SATANA IS A CONFUSED BOSS
Lak of better term hy should Kenani Selekani is just passing gas. Its clear to all that PF is just talking and their fight on corruption is in question. The corrupt few elements are those connected to the govt. Its clear the way tenders are being awarded etc. Restoring the abuse of office law has been surpassed by increased thresh hold of tenders that can be awarded by a ministry or quasi govt organisation. Its all systems GOOOOOO. Milupi was on the ground in Eastern province and Kenani is defending his facts from the cool of his office. Who is fooling who or telling the nation the truth?
Who is Charles Milupi? Take time and talk to some fox from CEC – Kitwe.
Sibbuku Hamiyaze Tekele Banda,what planet did u come from…??? honest speaking am failling to fit u anywhere in southern province,just good example yourself cant build your house in 3 months nama light from zesco yayaka, be serious, real gentlemen helps to build the Nation,its time we started giving new ideas so that you and I can show our children that it does not matter wthether you belong to the ruling or opposition part. we have all the task ahead of us to zambia the better place for our children & grandchildren, have a story to tell that you buit the so called Zambia even in opposition party….think…Nigger.!!!
Zambians are awaking to a rude shock only to realise that the PF leaders don’t believe in the existence of the animal called DEMOCRACY. The likes of Sakeni, GBM, Wynter Kabimba, Mmembe, with Mr. Sata at the helm, think that DEMOCRACY is a big monster most likely to swallow them when it rears its ugly head on the Zambian landscape. The PF govt posture of threatening any dessenting (even wise) voices from opposition leaders is a serious CANCER that has infected the PF regime. May be the PF failure to deliver on their famous 90-days promises has created pathological fear of logical debates in the political arena. Students of political science, history, sociology and economics must take note of the detereorating form of governace under the PF regime.
PF achievements;
Intimidating opposition, employing relatives,renaming airports, reshufling ministers,moving districts,monopolising the media,what else mwebantu?
HONOURABLE MINISTERS PLEASE LET’S NOT RESPOND TO EVERYTHING THE OPPOSITION SAYS. THESE CONTRARY VOICES WILL ONLY BE SILENCED BY OUR HARD WORK. LET’S NOT EVEN BE HAUNTED BY THE 90 DAY PROMISE BECAUSE IT’LL BE A NON-ISSUE IF WE DELIVER BY THE END OF OUR FIRST TERM
Is Sakeni a normal person?
What has the oposition achieved so far? I think the opposition is more or less running too fast for a long run. They will tire easily especially if PF makes wonders. For sure I know that Sata is more concerned with national development than Banda and late Chiluba. Sata is comparable to Mwanawasa and Kaunda. The three stood for national development. Sata will deliver land mark national development across the country. And am sure he will lead two terms. His vision is down to earth. Decetralisation and fight against corruption are major steps which will see development in zed. Some will prove me right in due course.
Interesting times! The minister thinks PF can regulate public opinion . Milupi is doing PF a favour by forewarning them. The same youth who were very crucial in removing the MMD will be instrumental in removing PF from power. The have realised that PF is delivering on the jobs they promised and feel used.
@ Floyd Chitalu. I hope you also recognise that any leader to rule this country must fundamentally be a nation builder otherwise any development that may be achieved is skewed and not sustainable. If Sata could achieve what he can in an environment that is non tribalistic and non nepotistic may be he can be considered to be in league with the illustriuos sons of the soil that you mention short of that all his efforts are an exercise in futility.
you HH puppies critising PF GRZ just wait a bit. Sata doesnt work by talking bla bla all the time the way HH barks with bitterness. SATA ll deliver just be patient dont be like your ander 5 president whose in a hurry to go places he has no means of getting there in a short time.
@ 73 your comment would have been complete had it ended at “Sata doesn’t work”. He does get paid double for not working lol.
Does it mean that when you are minister of information then it s your duty to respond to every statement made by an opposition leader.
PF has the most corrupt and nepotist government beating Chiluba by far.
Who cares what figures have gone up or down when this does not translate to having meaningful employment and improved welfare.
Milupi,HH,Chipimo and other leaders can not be shut up as they speak from their hearts and speak for the people.
PF can only make good opposition as they just bluff on rhetoric.
@29,it is folly to judge the PF government merely on the poor performance of the previous government which you seem to indicate was led by Ali Baba & the 40 thieves. That’s the whole reason they were fired. Playing to the gallery aside, the PF governments blatant assault on institutions of democracy like the judiciary (to benefit their friends), freedom of expression and police professionalism are seriously worrying signs. You wouldn’t “wait and see” what happens on a bus where the driver damages breaks, headlights, rear & side view mirrors – the result is totally predictable and the fact that the previous driver stole some of the money before cashing in would be little if no comfort at all when the inevitable happens.
I liked this observation: “You wouldn’t “wait and see” what happens on a bus where the driver damages breaks, headlights, rear & side view mirrors – the result is totally predictable and the fact that the previous driver stole some of the money before cashing in would be little if no comfort at all when the inevitable happens.” Sadly, that is what we always do in Zed, and we end up losers. They said 90 days, and we give them several years; … more money in their pockets and none in mine.
@31 Zambians have not been elected, nor paid to work for the country, its the government that has been elected to work for the benefit of all the people. People expressing their opinions and disappointment at the downward trend is neither destructive nor useless. If only to let the dreaded shu shu shu who are ancient relics from a past we do not want to see return, that the people and not the party and its government hold power. We know that people’s discontent and disappointment is registering with a government on whom so many staked their hope for meaningful change. Who knows it might yield more results than these pathetic, and frankly annoying statements now being issued by representatives of this disappointing government and its party.
The comment by number 73 would have been complete had it ended at “Sata doesn’t work”. It seem that Sata does get paid, double for not working..
@ 56 Lennox Luzipo …… HH has been at the helm of his own political party, the UPND, for quite some time now, has participated in a number of presidential elections, albeit losing every single time. He has the money and a sizable political base. His achilles heel is a political acumen to propel him to a greater height.
@ 49 Lennox Lupizo …… After 48 years of independence and a perpetual culture of a failed state, Zambians suffer from a diseased mindset to which there is no known cure. The country has all the resources to be as rich as or richer than South Korea but is among the poorest in the world. Many households in cities like Lusaka, Livingstone, Ndola, Kitwe, Chingola etc. cannot afford even to have running water in their homes. The country has vast agricultural resources that would have made it a key exporter of grain, beef etc., but even here the country still lags behind countries like Botswana, a desert country that exports beef and has running water for all its households who live in cities. The “hegemonic PF group” you refer to are presently the architects of our economy.
US WHO VOTED FOR PF DO NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SO CALLED 90 NDAYS. THEY DID SOME THINGS IN 90 DAYS. BUT FAILED TO DO A NUMBER OF THINGS IN THE 90 DAYS BECAUSE THEY UNDERESTIMATED THE TASK BEFORE THEM. SO FAR WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THEM AND WE WILL VOTE FOR THEM AGAIN. THOSE WHO ARE STILL SINGING THE 90 DAYS SONG AND GNASHING THEIR TEETH ABOUT THE 90 DAYS HOPING THAT THEY CAN DESUADE US FROM SUPPORTING THE PF ARE WASTING THEIR TIME. THE 90 DAYS IS OVER LETS WORK.
Good for you … 90 days or no 90 days, more money in your pocket. Good liars do not get ashamed, do they?
@# 49 & # 56 Lennox Lupizo…… Wise counsel indeed, albeit akin to telling a man who was born blind that the sky above is blue. Like their leaders, the PF cadres on this blog are ready to haul insults and cast stones at those with opposing views from theirs. You must see things their way or else something is wrong with you. That is the typical Zambian mindset and prevailing attitude. There is no tolerance for a diversity of views. It’s for that reason that blogs such as this one, largely serve as centres for dispute as opposed to being centres for educative dialogue and an exchange of ideas. As a matter of fact, discussing ideas is rarely a thrust here. Instead, people devote time to castigate and insult those who try to advocate a different view from theirs. Welcome!
@#78,#79 & #81 MR. Ikandulwa…… Thank you, for the recognition of elements which advocate the true potential of Zambia. The onus is upon everyone to impart the knowledge about the significance of Zambian resources in the global sphere. Failing to convey that pertinent information truly and unbiasedly,it qualifies us holistically in this region of ours(SADCC) as vision-less inhabitants who are of the common view that resources in our respective nations cannot reach a level of depletion. Insomuch as I appreciate our robust economy, here in S.Africa, I owe our neighbours the recognition of their true potential which should be exploited in a transparent manner so as to benefit themselves equally and deservingly. Let us educate each other and benefit from one another,thus develop our nation
2016 ITS HH NO DOUBT. THESE CHAPS IN POWER HAVE MESSED UP THE COUNTRY. THERE IS NOTHING THEY HAVE BROUGHT TO THIS COUNTRY OTHER THAN TRIBALISM, NEPOTISM, INTIMIDATION AND FALSE PROMISES. 2016 YOU ARE DEFINITELY OUT!!!! AND HH IS TAKING OVER
