Former Commerce, Trade and Industry Minister Felix Mutati has charged that Zambians feel cheated by the Patriotic Front for unfulfilled promises.

Mr Mutati has since advised the Patriotic Front government to adjust to the reality of governance and refrain from making additional promises.

Speaking in an interview with QFM, Mr. Mutati says meeting the aspirations of the people requires a committed team that is not self-centered but one that is able to sacrifice for the benefit of the majority Zambians.

Mr. Mutati adds that the PF governance system must be above partisan interests and inclinations but focused on delivering on what they promised the people prior to the 2011 elections.

The former Cabinet Minister who is also Lunte Member of Parliament says the government should put put its house in order if they are to attain their set economic targets.

  1. Ba Mutati which Zambians are you talking about? Ba some of us? Or ama bloggers bapa LT?…. No,we are happy. We are very much sure the PF government shall take us to the promised land.

    • Indeed, which government can deliver its promises at once? Please, these things are done in phases. PF, keep on delivering. I for one knows that you cannot deliver at once. With time, all will be well with us. And I am proud of you so far. Never listen to the criticisms some people pour on you. That is the way it goes with the opposition. Even in the house, not all children can be with you all the way. Some become rebellious indeed. So, K.O.K.O. (keep-on-keeping-on)

    • Its unbelievable to still hear people say “they will take us to the promised land”. Please craw out from under the rock you’re living in and face reality…these politicians are all the same, unless you are part of the family forest. I for one I’m not happy.

  2. Mutati let me get this clear…I dont think sane Zambians would feel cheated in this shortest period of time, you guys u were in power for 20 years and what did u do..? 1 year down the line and u have the balls to say Zambians feel cheated..? an organised team, mr Mutati your president Mumba is trying to frustrate every move the PF wants to make by using your fellow MPs, u think we are blind to see the efforts being made by PF..? come on get real

    • Where was Sata between 1991 and 2001? Who was Party Secretary general for the MMD leading the campaign for an unconstitutional third term for Chiluba? Where was Chikwanda, Sakeni, Luo, Scott, etc during 1991-2001? These were the people calling the shots in the most corrupt period of Zambian politics. We saw the assassinations of Paul Tembo, Richard Ngenda , Wezi Kaunda and Ronald Penza during this same period. Kenneth Kaunda and Roger Chongwe survived an assassination attempt during the same period. The PF is simply the mafia that was thrown out in 2001. These are not saints. They are corrupt and murderous!

    • Only the insane, with heads neck deep in the proverbial soil would not feel cheated out of their precious vote.

  3. We Zambians have a serious problem.This guy was the right man to be MMD president but went for Mumba.Look now what is happening in MMD.Same applies with what we elected last year in september.Instead of electing some who is able to understand global dynamics and interpret to us,we went for the opposite.why is it like that kanshi?

    • If he was the right man why did he lose?? Ninani walefwaya ukuba president. The people spoke loud and clear and voted for the right person period. You are the one with the problem because you vote for losers. Akuloshafye my dear:((

    • Yep, here you have it! Mutati’s party was in power for 20 years and expects the PF to undo their damage in a single year? BITTER CHAP!!!

  4. Mr F Mutati we respect you so much but can you stop lying through your teeth which Zambian people feel cheated? May be from your in circles,bwana you are a technocrate criticize with possible solutions.PF led government shall deliver one year down the line has been successful no doubt about it a strong foundation has been laid to propel our country which you wrecked for massive development,watch and see.

  5. @ brainee so what next if you are insulting the govt? after all you never even voted for the PF. we knw pipo like you are imposters as PF sympathisers. iwe ndiwe wa UPND, not even MMD. they dont insult

  6. Zambian dont feel cheated, they have actually been cheated. no wonder sata says pf is sittng on active volcano. no wonder sata is building his retirement house ki ki ki ki

    • If you hate and despice Zambia and Zambians so much, why do you keep coming back to this site. It just goes to show that behind that facade is an unfulfilled and disgrantled person who derides a sense of worthiness in looking down on someone or something, the easiest target being your country men. Glasgow with it’s funny access is not the best place to live in Scotland let alone Britain.

  7. Well probably I am a second class Zambian but first class Brit since I am getting married to a whiteman, so I have no right to comment on what he is saying really

    Thanks

    • We are getting married next year been engaged for 2 years. we have to find money and he had to meet my parents, unlike you who marry after you make someone pregnant!

    • You live with someone for years and then later ati “we had to meet our parents”… you’re no different from one who marries someone after falling pregnant. You’re just a better expert at contraceptives than those that fall pregnant.

    • What have you been doing in the two years of your engagement? Just because you have not become pregnant does not mean you committed a lesser sin. If it was in Zambia, nga balimufwitila kale.

    • When in Tome do what Romans do, I am in UK we do it this way, its not uncommon for couples to live together I love him
      Thanks

    • Iwe how a guy become pregnant? And the only reason this mushota chap isnt married is that they haven’t totally accepted gay marriages even in the Uk, that is to say if and a big IF for that matter mushota is in UK as he claims to be.

    • This mushota girl/boy is a totally misplaced dull chap… so what if he is white? mushota always know one thing….. every person has the same colour under the skin!!!! all persons are equal in the eyes of God. why degrade urself that way???? the secrete to good living is “HARD WORK” !!!!!! not skin clolour!!!!

  8. Iwe Mutati, compare  years of plunder, corruption, nepotism, prostitution, in a nut shell, the MMD was a good example of how NOT to govern. Let the pipo decide whether they have been cheated or not, not iwe ka puli!

  9. Let me remind Mutati that there are so many people who have received 100% salary increments (e.g. workers from a Chinese construction company just last week), which would have never happened under MMD. You, Mutati with your MMD were such a huge mess that will take much more time than initially projected to undo your damage!!! Corruption became a norm with impunity. Useless argument.

    • what do you say about PF corruption barely a year in office….Kibimba and GBM, single sourcing of contractors and suppliers which your CNP president acknowldged during a recent swearing in ceremony at Boma House?

  10. Mutati and the MMD must think Zambians are foolish enough to forget their plunder, corruption and out right kleptocarcy they existed on for 20 years albeit for a few productive years of Levys’ rule. Seriously we are even seeing Chinese shops and mines paying salaries as per minimum wage which his MMD failed to see. MMD were busy preaching that the minimum wage will contribute to unemployment just because even their own companies built from unethical means as earlier stated are affected. It was all malice talking. Because of PF governments adjustment of salaries for healthy workers we are just about to end a year without strike by this sector. This was unheard of during MMD rule. PF government has flaged off a big road project in their 1st year in office, not their election bad roads!

    • Sata , Sakeni, Chikwanda , Luo ,Guy etc were all MMD. These were the looters and third term campaigners for Chiluba. Tell us something we don’t know not this nonsense of yours!

  11. Sorry Sir, we don’t feel cheated at all. You’ve had your chance and you didn’t do what the Zambian people wanted, hence, our relocation some of us in the diaspora.

  12. Mutati is spot on and all those condemning him are statan’s children who are brain washed with so much dullness and foolishness of worst kind. Being a pf cadre should not be above national interest. Its very clear with majority Zambians that pf govt is lost and a bunch of tricksters who are so selfish and wicked in the order of satan. Hence all of you supporting wrong things just because yu are paid to do so. One day soo the cobra will bite you also. Zambia is in retrogression yet foolish people can’t see apart from blidly supporting a wrong cause. Shame on you unpatriotic mercenaries.

  13. Sata, Chikwanda, Sakeni, Scott, Luo etc were top gods in the MMD between 1991-2001. These Muppets will be remembered for their corruption and bad governance between 1991 -2001. Sata has Merzaf, and Ministry money in his personal account to be remembered for. Guy Scott has paying himself compensation for a swine fever that never was. Luo will be remembered for the ICASA scum
    . When these Muppets were in power the economy collapsed. Redemption only came with the MMD class of 2001-2011. PF will only be remembered for its legacy of rampant tribalism, incompetence and lumpenism.

  14. Mushota, I live in the UK and I know that black girls who marry white men areregarded as just another piece of ROASTED MEAT. Their families will always have their eyebrows raised at the sight of you. Word has it that you came to the UK as an asylum seeker? Tut Tut!!! So stop elevating your status to something which will NEVER happen. Keep dreaming! So Nick is Irish? I can bet my bottom dollar that you met him in a dingy pub, thats where the Irish men pick up their black slappers. Thank you too…….

    • A black man is President of the USA and yet you are talking about being married to below low class white men as an achievement!!! What nonsense is this; respect yourself lady Mushota.

  15. Mutati is a brilliant politician but he has got it all wrong on the PF. Zambians dont feel let down or cheated. The only people who feel that way are opposition politicians, some of their myopic supporters and a few disgruntled individuals for their own selfish reasons, like those who want a thank you after campaigning for the PF. The Government is laying firm foundation and people are able to see that: abuse of office clause, resuscitating NCZ, repossessing Zambian Railways and pumping media, where ZNBC can even feature you castigating Government. Ministers can now easily be investigated by police and the President commends and encourages them???? You may not have even among the riff rafs of MMD but be careful to not assume the entire blem in the manner you attack the PF Government!!!

  16. Mushota, so what if you are getting married to a white man that is your own meat to eat and what has that got to do with the politics in Zambia? You may stay there as long as you have the breath BUT you shall NEVER be a first class British person they will still look at you as a black person.Wake up my dear Zambia will still remain your country no matter what difficulties when may be going through economically.

  17. The bad governance of the previous administration will not be an excuse for long now, its time for them to move on and show the people of Zambia what they have to offer. We are anxiously waiting….

  18. We Zambians felt more cheated during MMD era because they lied to us for 20 years. Which Political Party in the entire world can fulfill its campaign promises in one year. Imwe ba MMD just shut up, you have done enough mess to this country.

  19. Who died and made this ka Mutati the Zambian spokes person? Speak 4 yourself! I for one feel very pleased with PF. Even when the PF becomes bad I wont vote for you or your stupid party MMD. Niether would I vote for those tribalists in UPND!!

  20. Tigress
    I am sorry that is not going to happen to me
    I have been with him during the Mwanawasa regime, I have been with him long enough to know that if he were going to leave me he would leave me
    We have a joint account, he said when we get married he will take life insurance, I have already and I have named him as the beneficiary, I don’t mind about the house being in his name but we contributed the deposit to the house together although once we have children I know the government protects women
    He buys me clothes everything points towards a happy ending, so please just gve up on wishing me bad, thanks you

    Thanks

    • ati…”He buys me clothes everything points towards a happy ending… keep on dreamin Mushota as if its a girl in grade 9. U are 1st class zambian forever.
      Mutati keep your place i respect u

    • But Mushota why are you so primitively EXCITED about marrying a Caucasian? A lot of  girls much younger than you are dating such people IN ZAMBIA and are not behaving as if they’ve a point to prove to anyone. It only shows that you’ve always understood yourself to be lesser human being until this guy “discovered” you or capitalized on the desperation in you!! Tekanya mwaice – ukasha ilelila…!!

  21. Who is cheated? In the PF as a government worker My salary has increased by K2 million kwacha. Come next year my Substance allowance shall increase by almost 80%. If things remain the same in the PF, I would rather work for GRZ than Private. Guys in the Diaspora ala now GRZ workers are doing well, ask the medical workers they have a story. Continue sharing one room with nigerians out their in the Diaspora while we build manssions here in Zambia.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  22. Mr Mutati also, why do you want to reduce your to the level of Hakainde Hichilema who have never been in Govt, “Government is mindful that the magnitude of these challenges cannot be resolved in one year. Government has rolled out plans and released funds for road construction countrywide, building of schools, health centres and promotion of increased agriculture development,” he said
    He said despite the economy growing above six per cent in the past five years, it is still faced with challenges such as high poverty and unemployment.

  23. Based on the above comments I can safely say that PF is doing pretty good…this can only mean one thing Mr Mutati…come 2016 PF wins beeeeg again..sorry but that is the reality and learn to suck it in…

  24. sata created the PF occult. and all the cult followers know not the end time. while Sata is now building his retirement home the follewers like ticks stick sucking till burial day knowing not the end is near

  25. #8 please mushota send me a bit of cash. am so broke failing to survive. i just need a £6k. thanking you in advance. kind regards to nick. tell him we looking foward to meeting him in dec. when you jet in.:):):)

  26. Mutati leave the Zambians to Judge the PF govt. The problem with people like Mutati is that they think we dont see and have short memory, actually the opposite is true. One thing is that we are very happy with PF govt!

  27. MMD inherited the UNIP behavior of mixing two tablespoons of politics with one teaspoon of professionalism… hence the failure. We are beginning to see politics being informed by professionalism which is as it should be. In UNIP times it was a security risk to create ring roads BECAUSE the PIG said so… now we are seeing the reality of decongestion, which we would have addressed proactively those years of ghost enemies! So satisfied or not, the politics are changing… the tablespoons will have to reduce to a pinch.

  28. Me I don’t feel cheated my employers has Increased our salaries because there scared of PF GRZ. unlike in MMD for 20 years . And pf is just one 1 year. 
      

  29. People are calling Mutati bitter and all that. Is he misguided in his assertions? The other news is suggesting that while you (PF) blind supporters are singing praises for your party and leader, the leadership is continuing to cheat the nation. President Sata is already building his retirement home while you are squabbling over nothing and branding those who are calling a spade a spade, as bitter. Wake up!

  30. Only foools that voted for PF don’t feel cheated, but the wise who voted for PF feel cheated, while those like me who voted for HH or RB are comfortable on this because NO fooool can cheat us. We knew it from the start.

  31. I wish Mutati should shut up.For all the time he has been a MP for Lunte no one hoped to see Mporokoso Kasama road tarred.He is infact a thief of the highest order!

  32. ati…”He buys me clothes everything points towards a happy ending” as if u are a grade 9 girl in a first relationship. Grow up Mushota!!! Mutati keep your place i respect u

  33. Mushota, I really did touch a nerve (ha ha). If he buys you clothes etc, why not ask him to send you to get etiquette lessons, then hopefully we wont have to read you tripe comments which you keep posting, which are always nothing to do with the topic at hand. The house is in his name and you dont mind??? Time for you to wake up and smell the coffee, one day he will flip and throw you out and ther is nothing you can do because THE HOUSE IS IN HIS NAME. It doesnt matter how long you have been together whether since Mwanawasa or KK, dopey cow!

  34. Another educated fo.ol who was busy travelling the globe at our expense cutting deals for his master chi Ala Bee and fellow MMD thugs; now he is busy preaching to us, very disgusting indeed!!

  35. 90 days is gone. Why should people not be disappointed with you? Mutati if right. You are asking opposition to give you alternatives. Why did you come into government without plans? Worse still you have limited consultations to your tribesmate who are equally mentally bankrupt

  36. PF has ruled only for ONE year, they have FOUR more years to fulfill their campaign promises. Mutati is missing the power he enjoyed as a Minister and his statements  are empty for someone who held a ministerial post. Why has he failed to explain why unemployment rose so high under MMD? Why manufacturing industries closed under MMD in the name of privatization?  

  37. Mushota is a man, the most popular fool on LT. For once let us ignore him. He posts his usual stupid comments on interesting news item so as to draw attention, divert the minds of those who do not know him.

  38. SATA was more MMD than RUPIAH. SATA is on record to have said “There is no one who is capable of leading Zambia except Chiluba”. He was in the fore-front fighting for the 3rd term with Katyoka and Njobvu. When you condemn MMD you are condemning PF. PF is simply an extension of MMD and UNIP.
    90-day promises – reintroduction of windfall tax, Barotse agreement, abolishment of public order act, new constitution by June 2012, reduction in cost of living. WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NOT MUTATI IS RIGHT – Banatigonga!

  39. Me I dont feel cheated.Which zambians feel cheated?MMD zambians maybe and because you ddnt vote for HEMCS,our beloved president and mentor

  40. Honarouble Mutati,
    Please give PF a chance to prove themselves. I think they will do just fine. Hon Mutati, i followed your performance while you were in the toxic corrupt MMD government. PF will take some time to clean the big mess and ‘cancer’ of corruption your lot cursed Zambia with. You personally like President Chiluba had so much potential but all we got is ten years of nothing much but very good long english zero results. You spent too much time making yourself , friends and family rich at the expense of average Zambian. I don’t know what you are still doing in parliament.
