Opposition National Restoration party (NAREP) president Elias Chipimo junior has said that the continued arrests of his MMD counterpart Nevers Mumba by the Zambia Police is a clear indication that the ruling Patriotic Front is in a state of fear and panic for its non performance since assuming power last year.
Mr. Chipimo has said that  the government has failed to address serious economic issues affecting Zambians such as quality health care and Mealie meal shortages among others.
He has since charged that the continued harassment of leaders of the opposition political parties is aimed at shifting people’s attention from real issues.
He has advised the PF government not to hide its failures through oppressing opposition leaders but that they should be realistic and face the challenges.
Meanwhile, MMD president Nevers Mumba has vowed that he will not be intimidated in his fight for the country’s freedoms.
Dr Mumba has also stated that his arrests will not deter him from speaking the truth to the Zambian people.
Dr. Mumba who was yesterday arrested and charged for issuing a statement with the potential to cause the breach of peace has maintained that his claim that the PF government has set aside K1.4 billion to destabilize the MMD is the truth.
He has alleged that the same money has been shared with some Civil Society Organizations to carry carryout discrediting messages on some community Radio Stations to discredit his leadership and the MMD.
And Dr. Mumba said that s he was appalled that a group of MMD members was paid to distribute money to unsuspecting members in Muchinga in exchange for signatures for the purpose of petitioning his removal.
The MMD president has also stated that only four Luapula provincial executive committee members defected to the PF after their attempts to buy signatures from members failed.
He said that the MMD National Executive Committee will not take kindly any member who will deviate from the ideals of the party.
Dr. Mumba has further said that the MMD’s 2013 message is love, unity and reconciliation and that the party is ready to re-admit any of its erring members who left the former ruling party.
He was speaking during a media briefing at the MMD Secretariat in Lusaka yesterday.
QFM
Chainama Hospital, please prescribe Chipimo some Cymbalta.
Depression hurts, Cymbalta helps
Nubian Princess, the observation by Chipimo is spot on! Let us achknolwedge facts. That is the only way we shall improve on our shortcomings as a people! Should we therefore say that your priscription should instead be for your condition?
@PF. DIE HARD. But if it were HH raising these facts you, for sure, would not say that.You would be here insulting the man all the insults you know. So it depends who says it and not what is said. Just wait and see how my bemba brothers will come out to support chipimo even when other opposition leaders have already raised to same issue.
Thanks my brother. I am not a Bemba to start with, but I acknowledge truth no matter from who. I hear your concern about people who are burying their heads in the sand and supporting nonsense purely on tribal lines!!
change your name to ‘Clueless Princess’ :) Twag!
O.K Chipima has spoken, so let all the bembas and the bemba wanna-bes support his sentiments.Â
Bemba Man: this has nothing to do with Tribe! Facts are facts no matter where they come from.
Not on this forum. it depends who says it my dear.
You are not even bemba you tweak. Uleke ukutusebanya mukukulu iwe.
Tribal nonse again!!
# not a valid comment, we need ideas that build not tribal blogging,concentrate on other things if youv nothing to say on the topic please…..
Soon no one will want to associate with UNKWA and he will see how political life can be lonely… ask you friend KK
His idea of being a president was to chase around the opposition. In more than one year nothing sensible has come out of his mouth.
Wait until the kwacha is rebased and inflation shoot up. The kitchen is going to be HOT
CHIPIMO YOU ARE NOW A WISE POLITICIAN KEEP IT UP SATA IS THE GREATEST DISASTER THAT ZAMBIA HAS EVER HAD AT STATE HOUSE HE IS MORE DESTRUCTIVE THAN N ARMY WORMS, HIV/ADIS AND CHOLERA
What president chipimo is saying is very sensible,it boarders on serious national issues.The only problem i have is certain bloggers always want to promote hatred for the president all with negative and bitter criticism.MCS is everyone is president i.e Tonga ,bemba ,lenje,lamba,lozi,aushi,easterners etc. its okay to criticize the president and his government for there failure to meet to most of our expectations for now.But to assume that you and the party you support must first form government is what is best for this country, before you render any support to mcs is totally wrong.
If only Mumba can become more popular on the CB, owing to his frequent visits.Chipimo more popular in NP,LP and CB,Mumba too.This would give room to the most credible Presidential candidate(HH) to win owing to divided votes in the tribalistic regions.Let Chipimo and Mumba continue becoming popular, it’s working to Zambia’s advantage.Zambia Forward.
Shaka , You are speaking as if HH will just wake up and start distributing wealth to all the Zambians when he is in State House. I think we should learn from the failures of FTJ , Mwanawasa , RB and now Sata to straightegise for the way forward. Looking at the way HH is carrying himself , I feel he can just come and dismantle everything because he feels he is the only one who is inteligent and will never accept advise from anyone. I now feel governing a Country is a huge Job.
sure your thinking is so backward. Thats why HH will only rule southern province. Why always talking tribe? …shaaa.
For once Chipimo let us know whre u stand not manengwamanengwa, the opposition needs unity and take this govnt head on. Opposition is opposition coz they are like light and darkness with the ruling party. Ofcourse we need objective criticism in a constsnt way not today ur this then tomorrow ur that. U know wat I mean Chipimo, u could have been the leading opposition by now had u been constant in your objective criticism. Anyway, well said and let he who has eyes see and the one with ears hear from Chipimo
Don’t expect too much from Chipimo because he is in the big game plan of PF using  gold and silver to win and silence. But for anything meant to weaken opposition you can definately count on Chipimo to act a lecturer against the un-compromised opposition.

Mwanawasa didn’t fail. Learn to give credit where it belongs, you will also be fairly judged that way. It is wrong to pile together Mwanawasa in the same group with Chiluba, no matter how much you hated him.
Hate and envy should not be the bases on which to build our nation.God bless youÂ
chipimo pagiarising big HH approach

@ chisenga matako aako go to tunfweko and preach tribalism u twat son of a bittch . U are the same people dividing the nation can’t u see yo foolishy ukwa employing his Bemba tribes mate go to hell man with yo clams brian
IN ADDITION, ALWAYS WHEN BLOGGING ATTACK ONE TRIBE CALLED BEMBA.
i dt lyk this ka guy,is jst a pretender.
Why didnt mention that to him when you accompanied him to Brazil
you just to split vote so that cobra can win again
Very true. Chipimo jUst like nawakwi are today condeming sata just to split the vote so that sata can continue ruling.
it is essay to talk but difficult to do,give PF time to work on issures affecting the nation
Sata is like Andeleki. Both Mad.
Lol!
Lol, that’s too funny
#7, U should understand that Chipimo does not jst criticise for nothing, he only criticises or backs the govt when it is due. He is a rational guy, exercising sound judgement when he opens his mouth
Chipimo sits and watches the situation for fear of losing popularity. He is neither here nor there. What kind of a leader is he?
Your are busy talking, they are busy enriching themselves.
Ba Chipimo i saw that one coming.I bet you have made this comment because it has just crossed your mind that it is cool as a politician to play to the gallery.Loser !!!!
Chipimo is just a bitter SOB, nothing more nothing less.
Loser…loser SoB. We know him now. He should go to his sister Nawakwi if he is hungry, since is the two of them who like licking Ukwa’s ars…e.
ala lekeni umwaice akatekeko Zambia. uwasambilila and not recycled. aren’t you tired of the old and recycled politicians? not to talk about their their empty promises.
Selini tubombe ko, chipimo is bitter, jealousy and choking with envy
may the messiah come i,m fed up with this type of politics in zambia i voted for PF thinking they will be different. Now i suspect even HH will be the same.cant trust any politician now they are all the same
Jesus said the truth and those who hated and still hate the truth go for deceit and when they are injured by deceivers they blame the one who is not part of the deceiving orientation or genes.
talk about clinics and such, i dont think PF has failed the nation. First, how many hospitals have been built the past twenty years by those who were in power, the countries population has increased exponetially yet services remained the same apart from redefining institutions from one type to another. PF says they intend to put up hospitals, stadia, schools to counter population increase. such developments dont comeup overnite. theres design stage then go for tendering then kick starting, let us catch them if they are lying at the next election because then they should be alot of on going projects while others should be completed, if theres still going to be promises then they are failures but not now.
What has happened to the 90 days? Let us be consistent and not just lie for sake of votes. That was the basis on which we voted for you.
CHIPIMO YOU ARE AN INTELENGENT GUY (WE THINK SO, WE COULD BE WRONG). WHY SUPPORT OPPOSITION WHEN THEY ARE FLAWTING THE LAW. DO YOU EXPECT GOVT. TO KEEP QUIET WHEN THEY SEE WRONG BEING PERPETRATED. ON HEALTH CARE, THERE ARE SHORT AND LONG TERM PLANS, GOVT. HAS EMBARKED ON CONSTRUCTION OF ABOUT 650 HEALTH POSTS IN THE COUNTRY, WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS? JUST YESTERDAY THE PRESIDENT CALLED ON MILLERS AND OTHER PLAYERS TO HELP ADDRESS THE M/MEAL PRICES, WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS? DON’T BE FORCED TO SAY SOMETHING FOR THE PURPOSE OF WANTING TO BE HEARD, SOMETIMES SILENCE IS GOLDEN
Price controls are called dictatorship if executed in a free market economy like our!!
THOSE WHO ARE FOR GOD THEY DON’T GO FOR WHAT IS GOLDEN BUT GO FOR THE SERVICE OF GOD’S DECEIVED BY NOT BEING SILENT WHEN THE DEVIL’S AGENTS ARE HATEFULLY AND CORRUPTLY Â USING GOLD AND SILVER TO FIGHT GOD’S PEOPLE.
You are right no. 22. Lets give Sata time to deliver!!!! All this negative talking from the opposition is aimed at inciting people to lose hope in PF!!!!! PF, be strong. We are behide you!!!!!!
Don’t say ‘we’…you should say ‘I’ am behind you! How many are you in that post?
Mr. Chipimo, it is well and good to make those assertions, but I am sure you would also agree that it is ridiculous, indeed childish, for the opposition to dare the authorities by organising events without following procedure and then crying foul when the law catches up with them. Everyone knows that you can not just, for example, visit a prison to say you are delivering some gifts and expect instant access. There are procedures. They wont allow me as an ordinary Zambian, so why should Mumba have special priveleges? HH once said that they will make this country ungovernable. Is that in our interest? To make this country ungovernable? Is that what Zambians want? Is HH representing Zambian interests in this? Nevers Mumba has got to stop trying to make a martyr out of himself.
Seleni tubombeko ba Chipimo!!! You can never just wake up ans say you want to rule us.Even at first i advised you that be a Branch chairman,ward chairman ans so on.Have experience first mwaice…..
Dictator Sata finally is even criticised by Chipimo who he tried to armtwist for his hollow political rhetoric. Conscience in human beings is never easily repressed as designed with God’s creation. This compells us to be truthful to ourselves. Chipimo is simply responding to his soul what is truthful about Dictator sata. Abeit, many more agree with what E Jr Chipimo feels about our political situation in the nation. That’s what Nevers Mumba said that money received from Dictator Sata to distabalise opposition will haunt the receipients in future as their conscience will forever accuse them of their actions. Dictator Sata has failed to address most pressing issues of the nation and resorted to threats and rampant arrests long forgotten in Zambia. We are 30 yrs back in the dark days.
Spot on Chipimo. Ukwa is running around like a headless chicken and spending time terrorising  the opposition instead of addressing serious matters. Is this what its going to be like for the next 4 years? Zambia seems to be at EXACTLY the same spot it was when MMD were voted out. Perhaps come 2016 proper development will begin the those appointed to certain positions will not have to endure the constant musical chairs Ukwa has been playing with his cabinet officers!!
On this Mr Chipimo sir you sound off guard man. Its like you wanted to say something and then you just start ranting sir. Your analysis would be accepted if it were in 2016, the year PF will face judgement from Zambians. Its just one year and yet you want PF to develop Zambia in this one year?? Mmmmm ba Chipimo, awe twalamibwelamo nomba.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
Sata is using colonial tactics to oppress the concerned voices from voicing out on matters of national importance.
Chipimo alibe nzelu.
This guy is a lost ship. He should atleast go and visit mumba in prison whenever he is arrested. Why is he talking from a tree. Kamu guy aka kansi where does he stand? If you want to play politics, then roll your sleeves up and get dirty with the others.
Is that his way of negotiating for another tax-payer funded trip?
The Opposion knows that PF is on the right track no wonder why they want cause confusion.Our Br had a press briefing yesterday and no one stopped him.What has come out of that nothing.Telll us your Agenda Dr Mumba and start o eying the law as a man of God or else do not blame Sata.How come Gen Miyanda is not arrested?
this fool is his head okey what does he know . he infact looks sick this boy
Let the PF address issues affecting people such as shortage of fuel, Mealier Meals Electricity in some parts of the country than concentrating on opposition and receiving defectors
BREAKING NEWS, I think we gonga’d ourselves
malisoooooo!!!!!!
Sometimes when you tell a lie to people so many times, you start to believe in a lie! Chipimo is making the same mistake MMD made,  he is talking about quality medical facilities as if they fall from the sky during the night and ready for use in the morning. That’s why buying those caravans and hearses was a big waste of money.How can  a sane man choose a caravan over a house? That just shows the level of thinking of politicians from last govt. The never cared about local medical facilities because they never visited them when they are sick, they took themselves and their families to overseas clinics at the expense of the tax payer. Do you think Kunda could have died in Zambia if MMD was in power? Â
This Chipimo is he the one at one time joined Sata and family to Brazil. he claimed it was good to join sata so that he could develop Zambia. Tell us Chipimo what have you done since you came back. Poverty is on your face. just participated in wasting taxpayers money when children in muchinga still sit on the floor during class. You are just another crap.
@ chisenga hahaha I lyk dat.the prblm wit H.H is dat he is so full of himself,the niga thinks he is the most inteligent person in zed oh he is the richest,ama chinchi fulu,if he has failed 2 govern his own upnd cn he govern the country?wen u luk @ statistics,u c dat in evry election upnd does worse than they did in the previous
ba lusaka time ninshi chapwa ine ka? no more comments?
@ email protected hahahaha
NO…NO…Brother Joe.we cant jst take it any longer uncle joe.you are squeezing pipos toes.we dont like yo system so i dont wanna b yo victim.
All PF zealots now want more time. More time to do what? Give us your vision if you want more time. How can we give you more time to destroy? We have already seen your direction and it does not give us any hope. Sorry no more time for you and Chipimo is spot on. Failures always resort to oppression. Which law are you talking about? The same one you condemned in opposition? I think PF members are shameless hypocrites! Yes your day of reckoning is near! You will soon be weeping extremely loud!
PF members are so ashamed of their CNP failures to an extent that they are almost at a point of refusing to accept reality. ASHAMED! Most of my colleagues who were PF die hards cannot talk about PF in public. They have to go to the toilet and say Kwena natusebana guys.
my friend, that is a good one.
