Hakainde Hichilema

A Matero resident Opper Hamiyanze says opposition UPND president Hakainde Hichilema is exhibiting double standards over the allocation of K1.5 billion towards the construction of a retirement house for President Michael Sata.

Mr Hamiyanze wondered why the UPND leader is now against the allocation of funds for the Head of State’s retirement house when during the Rupiah Banda administration the UPND 2010 and 2011 approved K7. 2 billion allocated for the former president’s retirement house.

In an interview with ZANIS yesterday, Mr. Hamiyanze advised Mr. Hichilema to instead concentrate on building his party rather than venting his anger and frustration on the sound economic policies the Patriotic Front government has for the Zambian people.

He urged the opposition UPND leader to be objective and mature if he is to succeed in his political career.

Mr Hamiyanze further noted that the PF government embraces divergent views but that if the views are always marred with unnecessary verbal attacks then such kind of critique will not be welcome.

The Opposition UPND president has been quoted in some sections of the media as having criticised the allocation of funds towards the construction of a retirement house for President Michael Sata.

    • Muyunda, building a house does not mean allocating it to the president. Since you are a peasant farmer let explain to you in a language you understand: Planting does not mean serving food on the table. What the government is doing is planting the house and when he retires they will serve it to him. The law does not forbid planting during the president’s tenure. So balimi, who is stupid and which constitution is HH “foolwing”? From Barotseland?

  1. I for one am let down by the absolute lack of integrity by HH. Now is time for him to realise that this country is slowly being detribalised. It will shock you HH when the next election vote you out of office. Why HH? We have watched you start, falter then get up and go. Now you have lost the luster and younger fellows are but surely overtaking you. Or have you lost sight and cannot see that young Chipimo, Miles Sampa are now ahead of you. Do not measure your performance against fellows like Nervous Nevers, you are an intellectual man. Give us a credible opposition.

    If you have noticed all the sick people who were silent are now out and about. Those Livingstone houses where an occupant can wave through the gaping cracks which no government has bothered to fix in over twenty years. 

  2. Continued:-

    People are now voicing out their wants because they feel that there is a government that is actually listening. For a change roads are being fixed in normal times, Chorela is being tackled before the rains. Open your eyes and see like the Republicans in USA. The game has changed. Lozos will vote Ngoni, Tongas will vote Bemba, Tumbuka will vote Lamba. That is the new game.

  3. Is allocating money to built a house for a seating president “sound economic policies?” This dull man Hamiyaze is sick just like the journalists who see him as a news maker.HH is right to oppose this incorrect decision and sata will lose the house to be constructed to a truly former president when the UPND assumes power.

  4. this is pathetic on top of the millions as a salary he gets let alone allowances he also ants a free issue presidential house, why can’t he buy from his pension like the rest of the people do. this is day light robbery, why should politicians benefit for doing nothing.

  5. sata build your house from your pension like most workers do but as usual politicians are thieves always want fast money. its criminal for a president to get paid insane amounts of money when poor people are busy chasing for their hard earned pension.

  6. Iwe ci Chiyaminze whatever u call urself,is the former president same as the sitting president(Sata)?stupid ***** if u cannot differentiate beta shut that alitotic big mouth of yours.We mbwa we.

  7. Yes, Hamiyanzi you are right, the UPND approved that allocation to RB’s house. What has changed that now they are against? Really this is double standads for HH.

    If anything let presidents build their own houses just as we do. I hope this useless law will be done with soon.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  8. Hamiyanze is after a job from Sata. He has seen that who ever talks ill of HH get rewarded by sata including people like Clive Chirwa,nakwakwi etc.

  9. Start building a house for HH which I will be renting while he is waiting to become president. Oh no, I have changed my mind, build it for NAREP president and then HH will die of envy. this young man has even grown old becuase of envy and jealousy.

  10. @Former PF die hard member but defected to UPND now, what is wrong with getting a job in your own country if one is offered? You are the type that @Ka Gelo is referring to who are drunk with cow fart and can see anything good about MCS’s government at work. You praised RB so much because you thought HH would ascend to the post at plot one; that is wishful thinking and can never happen in HH’s lifetime. Unless cows and its fart will be allowed to vote by ECZ.

  11. Docile Zambians will continue watching these politicians enrich themselves. So what if its within the constitution, its morally not right, one year in and they’re thinking of  retirement? Speaks volumes of where their priorities lie. I say we scrap this whole mansion building nonsense.

  12. Hamiyaze – Kobambila tata. Any normal person with 5 senses can tell that HH can never be a president for Zambia.No matter how you can insult on the blog,the fact still stands. It’s not because he’s tonga but just his personality.Tongas are very good people,I did my secondary school there.Let’s learn to call a spade a spade. I can’t wait to see a Lozi or Tonga ruling PF and a Bemba,Lamba ruling UPND.It’s a modern society guys…..wake up!

  13. # 18 is a foreigner,,a tribalist kaponya….SATA WAWAAAAA,,,HE IS A LIER..HAS FAILED TO CREATE JOBS FOR THE YOUTHS,,VIVA H.H 2016 FOR SATE HOUSE

  14. SO what is the priority of this PF led govt? There are thousand of people living in abject poverty and currently the president and his minions are living a luxurious life. Then they decide to build a retirement house for their leader when they have not even worked for the people who voted for them. what have they done for the youths who are not employed, for the kids in Kanyama who are not in school and many other Zambians facing such similar challenges? Is it really in order for this govt to start this kinda venture at the expense of the poor majority Zambians? The law is there and we understand what it says, but is it right to take people for a ride using the law. Oh by the way is FTJ, Mwanawasa and RB’s houses complete and what is the PF govt doing about it? 

  15. Even if Hamiyanze u are looking for a job be hired you insult your future president. do you all remember on the voting day when Edward Mumbi insullted MCS on voting day. The following day MCS was president. my advise to you Hamiyanze is never insult cause you will never know who will be next president!! HH is very much capable to be president of this country.

  16. HAMIYANZE IS DULL BOY WHO FAILED TO PASS GRADE 9 EXAMS..SO LET HIM JUST PLAN HOW TO USE THE MONEY MP SAMPA IS GIVING HIM WISELY

  17. H.H LOOKS PRESIDENTIAL MATRIALS..I KNOW AND BELIEVE H.H WILL ONE DAY BECOME A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT FOR ZAMBIA..MAY GOD BLESS US ALL

  18. fellow zambians don’t follow the likes of Hamiyanze..they mean nothing to our society’s well being ,,HE RAN AWAY FORM HIS FAMILY,,,SO H.H IS THE NEXT LEADER TO LEAD OUR OUR COUNTRY ZAMBIA

  19. fellow zambians don’t follow the likes of Hamiyanze..they mean nothing to our society’s well being ,,HE RAN AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY,,,SO H.H IS THE NEXT LEADER TO LEAD OUR OUR COUNTRY ZAMBIA.

  20. UPND cadres now they have nothing to rant as they know that HH is a nonentity in the Zambian politics now. Continue dreaming about HH in state house. How can you when you are losing all the 14  ward elections? Tell me guys, how can HH become president?

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  21. Sat is not retired.There is no provision for allocating money for construction of houses for sitting presidents. Otherwise all of us would ask for our retirement monies whilst we are still working.As usual some people are quick to attack HH even though these are plain facts right next to their noses.One wonders what they use to think….@….s

  22. Imwe bama mambala PF is working I was owed 42 million kwacha in unpaid salary arrears I have just got them Viva pabwato viva PF sela tubombeko more money in our pockets. Proud Civil Servant
