Government is on course in implementing its election campaign promises, Chief Government spokesperson Kennedy Sakeni has said.
Mr Sakeni cited the on-going review of the Republican Constitution, the fight against corruption and the implementation of the decentralisation policy, as being among the major milestones recorded so far.
He was reacting to accusations by MMD president Nevers Mumba that Government lacked consistency in running national affairs.
Mr Sakeni who is Information and Broadcasting Services Minister said in a statement in Lusaka yesterday that Government had not failed to meet the aspirations of Zambians and more was yet to come.
“It is therefore cheap politicking for opposition MMD leader, Pastor Nevers Mumba to accuse the PF Government of lacking consistency. Contrary to his accusations, as reported by Radio Phoenix news this morning (yesterday), it is Pastor Mumba who is inconsistent and unfocused. He is an opportunist who keeps swinging from the pulpit to politics in pursuit of personal glory.
“Pastor Mumba accuses the PF of backtracking on the Public Order Act while his national secretary Major Richard Kachingwe has made it abundantly clear and rightly so, that there is nothing wrong with the current form and force of the Public Order Act. This shows how disorganised the MMD is with Pastor Mumba at the helm,” he said.
He said in line with the PF Manifesto, the review of the Republican Constitution was currently underway to give the people a Constitution they would call their own.
Mr Sakeni said the fight against corruption had been revitalised so that public resources did not end up ‘in the pockets of a greedy few’ at the expense of national development.
He said as a result, there had been renewed donor confidence and support to Zambia’s development programmes which had dropped drastically at the height of corruption under the MMD rule.
“We have accelerated the pace of devolving power to the people. This can be seen, in among other measures, the creation of the 10th Province, Muchinga, and several new districts around the country.
“This Government has also demonstrated unprecedented commitment to gender equality as seen in President Michael Sata’s landmark appointments of the womenfolk to high and influential positions in the public service such as the Judiciary, Zambia Police Service and others, where, for the first time, we have women at the helm.
Can someone assist this retard go for mental review. He is hallucinating. PF give us material worht listening to not this crap.
Sakeni’s justifications are so empty such that even he himself knows that there is nothing for the PF to boast about. What he is saying was done and left by the MMD government. There is nothing new other than confusion that the PF has done. So the best Sakeni can do is shut up rather than making himself look like an *****. He really does have a difficult job – damamge control for the Pathetic Faction party. What a mess!
i don’t understand the logic this ape is trying to put across here. the campaign promises where based on the 90days theory. pastor mumba right when he says you are inconsistent Mr ape and your minions.how do you say you are fighting corruption when it is in your midst mr ape? GBM & kabimba too corrupt
TIME FOR ZAMBIANS TO FIRE PF HAS COME. YOU CAN CHEAT SOME PIPO SOMETIME BUT YOU CANT CHEAT ALL THE PIPO ALL THE TIME
Ala this man either he is an opium addict or a devout loony character,and perhaps both. Because if he was in his right frame of mind he will not look down on the intelligence of my fellow Zambians. whether we live kuma KWA or kuma KU we know you rode the deceit horse into state house.
yap yap yap mr.U-turn.for once try to be serious with addressing problems in sambia
we want early electionss as sata would demand while in opposition
