UPND Secretary General Winstone Chibwe says it is unfortunate that Dr.Kaunda who is regarded as the father of the nation has started acting like a Patriotic Front cadre.
Mr.Chibwe says it is not healthy for Dr. Kaunda to start engaging himself in active politics.
Speaking in an interview with QFM News, Mr. Chibwe says if Dr. Kaunda wants to get back to active politics, he is free to do so but that he should first surrender his retirement house and stop receiving all the benefits of a former president.
Mr.Chibwe says it is unjustifiable for the former head of state seen receiving defectors on behalf of the Patriotic Front
Meanwhile, expelled MMD National Secretary Major Richard Kachingwe says the defection of MMD chairman for elections Gabriel Namulambe to the Patriotic Front is the beginning of mass defections from the party.
Major Kachingwe says Mr.Namulambe’s defection is the saddest development in the history of the MMD because he has been forced to defect due to the current poor leadership being exhibited in the former ruling party.
Speaking to QFM News in an interview, Major Kachingwe however stated that the move taken by Mr. Namulambe, although sad for the party, is right as it will send a strong signal to the National Executive Committee of the party that things are not right in the party.
Major Kachingwe says some members of NEC have been a letdown as they have chosen to become Dr. Nevers Mumba’s puppets.
He states that as long as the leadership of the MMD does not address its problems, it should brace itself for more defections.
Really?
Zambia Constitution needs to be more clear on what “active politics” for former Presidents is. Should former Presidents seize to have any political affiliation, opinion nor endorse candidates of the party that once put him/her in Plot One, as in Kaunda’s case PF as spin-off of his UNIP. Basically disenfranchise former Presidents? e.g. is Bill Clinton going around campaigning for Obama active politics? Â
Receiving political prostitutes in full view of the media is “active politics” by any standards. That is the role of the receiving party as it achieves political points over the other. Bill Clintons case is not “active politics” but affiliation to a Party and his democratic right to support their candidate during elections as accorded to all citizens.Â
Ba Tribal fimo fimo.I don`t think you have answered his question.Your answer in your quest to differentiate Bill Clinton and KK is shallow just to say the least.It is one and the same thing.The only difference is that in the Zambian constitution a former president is not allowed to take an active role politics unlike the American one.No wonder Clinton was all over campaigning for Obama.Clinton even went to campaign on behalf of Obama even  in states where time couldnt allow Obama to go
Come on Leave KK alone.The man has the right to associate himself with whomever he so wishes.I don`t see any hustle in that.Is he not a free citizen ? Cut the bitterness crap and start working.We wanna see your game plan.
Zebige learn to contribute objectively. surely in yo highest level of thinking it’s okay for KK to be receiving defectors on behalf of PF, please? Integrity and morality are the most precious property to have whatever the condition you find yourself but this is not the right way to go for KK.
Ha ha ha.Come on what is wrong with KK here ? Relax bro…funny how people get offended when they don’t share the same perspective with others.I respect you opinion man, it is only that we shave a slightly different perspective.It is called life.
The next critical switch over is that of Nevers Mumba from MMD to PF. Its easy, he has crossed over before. A ministerial position is enough. ‘Nevers shall be served’ no need of weekends of retreats, expulsion, or detentions. Just cross over like you did when you abundoned NCC, left all your followers in limbo for vice presidency. You have no ideology, but theology can help you switch parties. MMD will never win nexy elections, unless you can’t read the mood in the nation. Its not long ago, we saw how MMD sunk so low in economic, social, political, or financial morals. Going back there so soon would be tragic for the country.
PF told RB that if he is still active in politics then he wont get his retirement package. And now KK of all has started. He risks losing his respect coz there is no respect in politics. Too bad
This ***** KK. He never cared for zambia at all from his action hunger is back queuing is back high exchange rates wait for more to come with the supervision of KK
get serious UPND and leave KK alone, if you don’t have confidence in your acts just shut up. What makes you think the old man is behaving like PF cadre? Invite him to give you advice if you behave as mature adults? Problem is that you behave like under 5s hence no mature person coming closer to your party. Â Know that your party is perceived as tribal. Very Tonga controlled.Â
Sata must wary of Lamba politicians, remember how Levy tricked chiluba then started punishing bembas once in statehouse. Please don’t forget that lesson.
I dont understand how some of these people in some of these failed organisations just go about kwacking like frogs anyhow! Kwack kwack kwack kwack unneccessarily, And why do you even cover such nonsense? worst of space, as wel as my reading mood! LT i get pissed at you for covering this cheap story!
NO WONDER KK,,,WAS NTOT CONCIDERED Â AS THE GREATEST LEADER IN AFRICA….CHECK OUT NELSON MANDELA…….WHY CANT HE SUPPORT HIS OWN PARTY WHICH HE FORMED..UNIP……????
CRAP! VERY SWALLOW- MINDED. BY WHOSE YARDSTICK DO YOU RATE MANDELA THE GREATEST LEADER IN AFRICA?…WESTERN IMPERIALISTS? BECAUSE HE DID NOT UPSET THE APPLE CART BUT MAINTAINED THE STATUS QUO IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR THE CONTINUED RAPE AND PLUNDER OF THE BLACK MAN! WHICH FORCES DO YOU THINK WERE BEHIND THE DEMISE OF KK? DO YOU KNOW MUGABE? HE IS THE ONLY TRUE AFRICAN FREEDOM FIGHTER WHO HAS SUCCEEDED IN CONFRONTING THE IMPERIALISTS< HEAD_ON!!!
IWE CHIMBWI NO PLAN: When Mandela Was in prison it was KK pushing the struggle. Did you not see the ANC camps in Makeni? Or are you a child? KK was active in liberating Zimbabwe, South Africa,Mozambique, Angola, and Namibia. What is Mandela’s track record? Mandela came straight to Lusaka after he got out of prison.Does that not say anything to you? Whoich international community are you talking about, because some of us who live abroad, whenever we say Zambia people say Kenneth Kaunda or Kalusha Bwalya.
CHIBWI ..
Do more research work. Mandela is remembered for serving a long jail term.. If you go on researching you will come across some big fishes behind Madela’s arrest. Some where objecting to his realise from prison.. like former USA secretary of state Dick Che.. KK is excercising his right as a citizen. what’s wrong in doing so?
Leave kk alone u demagogues. lnstead deal with the constitution which greedy mmd failed to deal with thoroughly and just turned a constitution process making into a conduit for stealing our money. Upnd u are lost, u tribalists.
KK isolate yourself from politicking please.We love u!
KK is mad. How can he abandone UNIP which is still run in HIS bedroom by his old Son Tilyenji. Sata was in the regine the Junta that prevented KK from standing on account of parentage.
KK will never reach the stature of Mandela.
Even Lev, even when he was mistreated in MMD he never left MMD and rose to become it’s president.
KK has entered the firing range…The fake Wamuyayaya who brought about shortages of even tissue and colgate must not be listened to. KK meshed up zambia during the end of his era.
@Zebige. Kaunda is not allowed by Zambian law to engage in active politics as he is a former President. By the way arent you the same buffoons who supported your PF government in withholding Rupiah Banda’s pension because of his continued involvement in MMD? Honestly the hypocrisy of you Zambians is disgusting!
I like your contribution man.It is only that your language is a bit too strong for my liking.Find a mature way of communication then we can engage in a good intellectual discussion. Enjoy the weekend man.
Truth hates!
Iwe Goncalves.Balekweba ifyamano iwe ati fyoto
Iwe ci Chibwe: leave KK alone. Let him be happy in the remaining years of his life, shaa!
once a politician always a politician,zambians leave kk alone he has his own rights..if not wats democracy you are talking about then?
chiluba remained campaining,did you talk…now its PF you want to bark,leave the gvt to deliver.
Imagine
CRAP! Petty men, with petty ideas (as KK would have aptly characterised you). Leave the old man alone and work on “nation-alising” your tribal-based party and, perhaps, the old man will also embrace you. Remember: he is an architect of One Zambia, One Nation!
Imbaciles come in many forms – and yours on another.
Kachingwe has until recently been the seniormost in MMD and should not blame poor leadership for diminishing returns in the MMD – he is shooting himself in the leg. Kachingwe defected to PF several months before his symbolic haunding from MMD.
The reason Zambia does not develop is because of too many dull people who support rubbish at the expense of development. The law prevents KK from participating in active politics and anyone supporting KK is a contributor to Zambia’s underdevelopment – you guys work in reverse.
KK is not behaving like a PF cadre for he is actually a PF cadre. Don’t doubt it. The evidence is very clear. KK is a shameless PF cadre, period.
Just because KK praises Sata whenever he initiates positive develop does not make him a PF cadre ba United Party for No Development.
Actually, its Union of Pests for Negative Development
Just because KK praises Sata whenever he initiates positive development does not make him a PF cadre ba United Party for No Development.
Major Kachingwe’s remarks on Namulambe’s defection from MMD to PF tends to puzzle sober political thinkers on this land. Persons who have attained highest ranks in a potilical party are expected to be rational in their mode of thinking. Would Major Kachingwe be seen to deliberately sweeping Namulambes’s past disrepect for Rupiah Banda under the carpet? The confusion grows wider when the MMD Vice-President in the name of Dr. Chituwo prefers to think aloud to the Press when he could have handled the MMD crises administratively. Another Vice-President Michael Kaingu sounded to be politically mature when he commented on Namulambe’s defection. Politics is best pursued by principled men and women with an iron heart, and who work to fulfil a given political ideology.
UPND stop talking about KK. KK is the greatest president Zambia has ever had. Despite KK weakness he put up industries, power stations, mpongwe wheat and ZCCM maize and wheat, helped to liberate close african countries to Zambia to name a few. UPND who are very ungrateful to KK and to God. Shame to you. All you talk about is cheap politics. Grow up men.
Look at ways how Zambia should can reduce the povertylevel from 65% to 5%. UPND you do not understand your role because you have departed from Masoka’s Vision. You want KK to be quite when things are going wrong? Chebwe you are a problem to UPND and the country, you have nothing to offer. Remember that KK is one of the greatest leaders in Africa. Mr. Chibwe if you have nothing to talk about Zip up your lips before you curse yourself.
Say what? Please detest from commenting on matters that you have no clue about. Obviously, you were a baby when His Excellency KK, was on the throne.
Kachingwe, please sit your a.rse down. You don’t have the exclusive gift for leadership. For God’s sake, you look like KK’s twin brother. RETIRE!
Kaingu only talks sense when his hands are tied and papers are put far away from him… the tear-factor. Chituwo is like an overzealous maid showing off the crockery before it crashes onto the floor… it is comedy hour all over again bane!
80% of Zambians are tribalistic by nature. Sad in this era!
I thought KK’s one zambia one nation united us! I say this because of the comments people make on HH. What wrong has he done? He is just a successful businessman and a threat to Sata.
#8.Sata Regime. A very good and timely reminder, and warning!
KK is still bitter with MMD. Now he is revenging.
:d #30 Ubuntu Bonse
He is seeing things in the right way. But much should be done away from politics especial the mines to be grabbed and owned by gvt. Zambia will no longer enriching China while relaying on hand outs (mineral loyality tax)
You UPND Secretary General Winstone Chibwe, surely you should know by now that KK has DEMENTIA that is why Sata and PF are using him to parrot whatever they want him to say to the public.
KK has no cognition to make sound decisions at this stage.
This is all the work of Former Director General of Zambia Intelligence Chungu who is being used to cause confusion in opposition parties and leaders.
Former Director General of Zambia Intelligence Chungu has the history and experience of causing confusion in UNIP during Chiluba’s tenure and when Sata was a closer friend to Chungu. Chungu gave Sata a Vehicle which he stole from Special Branch in Zambia.
UPND u have a big problem ,u dont knoe who to fight.can u surely be botherd about KKs support for PF.bill clinton suported the candidature of OBAMA.any way the gud thing is u will never form GVMT maybe in 2036
UPND for under 5’s, always ranting. When are you going to grow above 5 years?
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
Finally, you want social and living proof that the machine actually does what it does. You want to hear good and bad things about it to get a better view on what to buy.
