PATRIOTIC Front (PF) youths in Muchinga Province say they fully support the appointment of Wynter Kabimba as Justice Minister.
ZANIS reports PF Provincial Youth Treasure Lawrence Kabwita said in an interview in Chinsali today that as youths from the ruling party in the province, they fully support the appointment of Party Secretary General, Wynter Kabimba as Justice Minister.
Mr. Kabwita said Mr. Kabimba who is a senior party member and a senior lawyer deserves to be Minister of Justice.
He added that the PF youths in the area have all the confidence in Mr. Kabimba and that he will deliver according to the expectations of the Zambian people.
Mr. Kabwita who was franked by his provincial youth chairperson, Justine Mutale said just like the appointing authority has the confidence in Mr. Kabimba; it is the resolve of the youths in the province that they rally behind Mr. Kabimba and pledge to fully support him.
He said that there is no problem in Mr. Kabimba holding the post of party secretary general as well as being a Minister adding that this is not the first time in Zambia‘s history that we have a cabinet minister who is also a chief executive officer of the party.
During the MMD Government, Dr. Katele Kalumba at some point held a cabinet portfolio when he was party national secretary and he executed his duties very well adding that even Mr. Kabimba is capable of delivering in both positions.
The PF youths in Muchinga Province have also condemned some party officials in Lusaka who are reportedly holding dark corners meetings with students to reject the appointment of Mr. Kabimba as Justice Minister.
Party youth treasure Kabwita said people holding dark corner meetings to discredit the party if found should be dealt with severely so as to serve the image of the party adding that this is no time for bickering in the party but time to work and delivery on the promises made to the people during the campaigns.
“As youths we are committed to ensure that the party delivers on its campaign promises and we will not support anyone who tries to disturb the party machinery as well as trying to disturb the Government which is in a hurry to bring development to the country,” said Mr. Kabwita.

I also support the appointment for Mr. Kabimba. Uulefwaya chimukalipe and it won’t even take you anywhere but to your Washroom(toilet). Viva Kabimba, Viva PF and Viva Presido Sata.
Iam not PF but a Zambian. I feel there is nothing wrong to ask the minister to relinquish one post if it is perceived as to compromise the party and the Government. Zambia should now grow and move to a stage we we shall just offer solidarity for things which do not deserve it. The leaders should be willing to hear the concern of both the minority and majority for the well being of the nation. Let us be willing to offer our service beyond partisan politics and pay attention to other peoples concern.
Hired guns! Foolish muppets! If Kabimba is fired by Sata today you will say the opposite!
No one is against the Ministerial appointment of SC W Kabimba.
But if the PF is about job creation and putting money in people’s pockets, then Kabimba should leave the party job to another PF person. He should not be greedy.
Aatase! ifiko ba PF.
