Outspoken PF cadre Opper Hamiyanze was this afternoon ordered to apologise to Monze MP Jackie Mwiimbu over a statement he issued on Sky FM’s Open Forum alleging that Mr. Mwiimbu goes to Parliament drunk with Whisky.
Speaker Patrick Matibini ordered Mr. Hamiyanze to apologise to Mr. Mwiimbu, Members of Parliament and the nation as a whole for issuing disparaging and defamatory remarks against Mr. Mwiimbu.
This followed a complaint to the Clerk of the National Assembly by Mr. Mwiimbu in which the Monze legislator alleged that Mr. Hamiyanze had used derogatory remarks during a radio programme on Sky FM called Open Forum on 18 October 2012 regarding a point of order he raised in Parliament.
Mr. Mwiimbu had raised a point of order seeking guidance on who will present the 2013 national budget since Finance Minister Alexander Chikwanda was then acting as Republican President.
But during the radio programme, Mr. Hamiyanze is alleged to have stated that opposition MP’s like Mr. Mwiimbu are derailing government programmes because they are always drunk when debating important national issues.
“Madam Presenter, these MP’s are childish and don’t want to see President Sata succeed. They come to Parliament with bottles of Whisky and Brandy, they are never sober. They consumer alcohol before entering Parliament” Mr. Hamiyanze is quoted as saying.
Quizzed further by the Presenter, Mr. Hamiyanze stated that MP’s such as Mr. Mwiimbu are always drunk further stating that it’s obvious that when the Finance Minister is not in the House, his Deputy would always act in his place.
The matter was referred to the Parliamentary Committee on Privileges, Absences and Support Services which found Mr. Hamiyanze’s conduct disrespectful and wanting.
Delivering his ruling this afternoon, Speaker Matibini said Mr. Hamiyanze should not step foot on Parliament grounds for the remainder of the second session of the 11th national assembly.
In his written apology, Mr. Hamiyanze said he was remorseful for the disparaging remarks he made against Mr. Mwiimbu.
“Honourable sir, I have reflected on my irresponsible utterances against Mr. JJ Mwiimbu and I have found them to be demeaning to the House. I have carefully listened to your reprimand and the guidance you have given me and I would like to assure this August House that I will endeavor to conduct myself in future in a more responsible and respectful manner,” Mr. Hamiyanze said.
Mr. Hamiyanze was harsh critic of President Michael Sata before the 2011 elections when he served as a UPND official.
He currently poses as Spokesperson for Matero MP Miles Sampa.
Hamiyanze you are not ashamed of yourself. you thug from jail to MP wamela mangala ai
With a name like HAAAMINYAZEEEE, am not surprised at his immature utterances. Tonga breed. Might as well join HH’s under 5 clinic/club. Good job mister Speaker sir.
Mr. Speaker is also “Tonga breed”. why dont you also tell him to join HH’s under5 club…..hahahaha
hamiyanze is all over this site boasting how he is making a lot of cash from sampa. we need to know what he mean by that. as for hon. sampa, ditch this big mouth b4 he lands you in trouble
Hamiyanze you sound like an argent from a Tonga tribalistic party led by an under5. Can the PF investigate this man? He could be in to destroy
Will you say the same about Chuumbwe, kabimba’s spokesman? He is also TONGA
Mr. Speaker, when are you going to also reprimand the Zambian Watch-Imbwa for calling minister of home affairs a drunkard on a daily basis? Or does this only apply to opposition members when they are insulted?
Mr Hapunda tendai brian alias MAestro heheh reloaded. You are next iddiot. You claim to be more PF that us the true supporters. Sorry son your outbursts will not attract mr kabimba

Leave my friend Mr. Hamiyanze alone you little running scared tribalists with nothing constructive to contribute on this site. The feud is between two Tonga gentlemen and nothing calls for your naive interventions which do not shape the essence of this argument. You two little cowards you must know that you are way off the point and you do not even have a clue of what you are trying to accuse the gentleman of. Anything which you deem as important is completely regarded as trivial to us people who have Tonga blood. And we offer no apologies for carrying Tonga genes in our genetic system. To hell with your unqualified judgements and you are all cursed. Alah mwalitupa bafikala.
Point of correction: we say ‘mwalitumpa’ not ‘mwalitupa’
If he was UPND we would have heard HH and his cohort claiming victimisation on tribal lines
It was a huge mistake to appoint that man as a speaker. How can you ask a grown up person to apologize to a fellow grown up, unless you treat them like bunch of drunkards.
Everything is about tribe imwe bangwele. Why are you so concious of tribe?
What about Sata?Why are we after the small inconsequencial fish like Hamiyanze?
shame
This iz really gutter reporting! How come the pozition of this Hamiyanze iz not mentioned, iz an MP or what?
The opening sentence”Outspoken PF cadre Opper Hamiyanze…” states that he is a PF cadre and then later in closing further states “He currently poses as Spokesperson for Matero MP Miles Sampa.” surely this suffices?!
#12. The opening sentence”Outspoken PF cadre Opper Hamiyanze…” states that he is a PF cadre and then later in closing further states “He currently poses as Spokesperson for Matero MP Miles Sampa.” surely this suffices?!
#14 But I thought I saw this Hamiyanze making an oppology in what looked like parliament on some TV channel. And what iz the meaning of this…. “Delivering his ruling this afternoon, Speaker Matibini said Mr. Hamiyanze should not step foot on Parliament grounds for the remainder of the second session of the 11th national assembly”??
Honorable Speaker Sir, Point of Order: ZWD has continuously called Home Affairs Minister a Drunkard, besides, many derogatory words against the President, please make a Ruling…i seek your guidance sir.
Thanx
Did you expect a Kaponya to say sensible things? No wonder he is in PF!!!!
Well ruled Mr. Speaker Sir! Hamiyanze should not be allowed to malign innocent people even if they belong to UPND. # 16 Blue Blood, when you point at another person as Kaponya, remember that the other 4 fingers are pointing at you! I am of royalty as I come from the ruling family of one of the biggest tribes in this country, but I have never even refered to myself as Blue Blood. The tribalist nonsense being perpetrated by some disillusioned few, will cost some of their own people big-time! I rest my case.
