PF refutes MMD allegations in Mufumbwe

Share

Community Development, Mother and Child Health Deputy Minister Jean Kapata

The Patriotic Front(PF) Campaign manager for the Mufumbwe by-elections Jean Kapata has refuted all allegations leveled against the party by MMD.

Ms Kapata has told the media that MMD are merely scared by the clean and issue based campaign the PF is conducting in Mufumbwe. She also accused the MMD of having failed to develop Mufumbwe twenty years after it was declared a district.

MMD has accused the Patriotic Front (PF) of fueling violent activities in Mufumbwe prior to the by-election slated for November 8, 2012.

MMD Chairman for Local Government and Housing, Newton Samakayi said his party was aware of a scheme by the PF of importing about 250 youths from Lusaka to Mufumbwe to cause more confusion.

Mr Samakayi told journalists at a press briefing at the MMD secretariat in Lusaka yesterday that his party had information that the PF was printing MMD and United Party for National Development (UPND) campaign materials in Matero which it intended to use in its violent activities in Mufumbwe.

He said “PF intends to wear MMD and UPND chitenge materials and t-shirts so that they go in villages intimidating and beating people as they did in Livingstone and claim that it is the MMD.”

He said what the PF should know was that they would not have it easy because the people of Mufumbwe were aware of the primitive tactics of the PF.

He said his party’s campaign in the area had heightened as their campaigns were issue based with reference to a success history of sustainable development policies in all sectors of the economy during the MMD reign.

“He appealed to North Western police Commissioner Eugene Sibote to be proactive in dealing with the violence in Mufumbwe saying if he continued with the lukewarm approach the situation may get worse.

He said it was disheartening to hear Mr Sibote describing the campaigns so far as being peaceful when MMD vice President Michael Kaingu was attacked as well as a Mr Wisamba who was currently admitted to hospital.

He said if MMD and UPND had reacted to the provocation of the PF, Mufumbwe would have been on fire by now.

But PF campaign manager in the area Jean Kapata rubbished the accusations and allegations from the MMD saying the former ruling party was just scared of losing the polls.

She said the PF was engaged in issued based campaigns because it was a serious party which had no time for such talk from the MMD.

    • mmm….you can’t rule, it takes more than balls to win elections. Right now you can’t even win in any compound in lusaka, and you think that the current leaders are crap???

  1. If pf was really gaining ground, there wouldnt have been having such mamoth rallies like i saw last week held by the MMD. This woman is very ugly, is she married?

  2. Shut up aren’t you all MMD. Sata, Scott, Chikwanda, Sakeni, etc are all maggots who failed both the Country and MMD between 1991 and 2001. The post 2001 MMD is the one that rescued the country which the PF is now destroying with rampant nepotism, tribalism, dictatorships, lumpenism and economic voodooism!

  3. THE OPPOSITION ARE SEEING GHOSTS IN MUFUMBWE, HON MILES SAMPA HAS GIVEN THEM SLEEPLESS NIGHTS BECAUSE HE AND PRESIDENT SATA HAVE SHAPED ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY STEADLY. IN MUFUMBWE WE ARE HERE TO GIVE PEOPLE ECONOMIC MESSAGE AND GOVERNMENT’S GOODWILL Zambia’s economic growth slowed to 6.6% in 2011 from 7.6% in 2010, mainly as a result of a weaker mining sector performance. However, the medium-term economic outlook appears favourable, underpinned by sustained expansion in agriculture, construction, manufacturing, transport and communications, and by a rebound in mining. Inflation is projected to remain in single digits, reflecting prudent monetary policy, while the objective of exchange rate policy is to maintain external competitiveness.

  4. Go Gooooooooooooooooooooo Nevers Mumba GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Iwe ka Jeans Kapata you are a liar just like your boss. This area goes to MMD period.

  5. LT please learn to have your own sources of news. the aggregation of news from other news sites makes it boring to read your news. this is scrap, not news at all. we need news of development not fighting of party cadres.

  6. Some of those names in Zambia and areas I cant even pronounce properly Mafumbwe?

    When you live in the UK for as long as you have like me, your accent pronunciation and eloquent use of words takes precedence, although I am trying not to forget Bemba such words are so hard for my rich vocabulary. Mafumbwe? mmmh how about naming such places ‘Lusaka Abbey’ or something similar

    Thanks

  7. Mr Samakayi, BUT, THIS IS A POLICE CASE. ARE NOT INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A POLICE AND REPORT IT TO POLICE INSTEAD OF REPORTING IT TO THE NEWSPAPER? ITS EITHER YOU ARE BE VERY DULL OR YOU ARE JUST LYING AS USUAL.

    • @ 12, I conquer with you. The case, if at all it is correct, it is supposed to be reported to the Police. But what did we see, the whole lot of Mr. Samakayi reporting the case on the media. And he even drunk some water after reporting. Shame on you! Be learned enough. Report such to the Police and not on the media. Whom do you want to please? Do you want us Zambians to believe you and disown PF? Forget! Zambians voted for PF and they are in full support of it! Period!

  8. but honestly mushota u must be a lumpen. what job do even do in the diaspora?maybe having sex with dogs. as for jean kapata guys she is an extremely sweet woman in bed with big vigina lips. oh come on guys dont look at the face

  9. #13 That is deep and sensitive about Hon. Jean Kapata. Any way back to the story what I cant understand is the logic behind THE ALLEGED plot by PF to cloth their cadres in MMD/UPND T-shirt/chitenge materials and go in villages and intimidate or beat people, forcing them into voting for PF or voting for who?
    This story is crap

  10. MMD wat do u want this time? 20 yrs in power u did not do any thing for the pipo of. Mufumbwe. Yo time is up en its PF’s time to shine.
