THE Central Committee of the Patriotic Front (PF) is this weekend expected to deliver judgment on the disciplinary case against Kabwata member of Parliament Given Lubinda among other party members.
A full central committee meeting is scheduled to sit on Sunday, January 20, to act on the report of the disciplinary committee which determined cases against Mr Lubinda, who is also Foreign Affairs minister, and others.
PF central committee member Edgar Lungu said this in an interview yesterday.
Mr Lungu, who is also chairperson of the disciplinary committee, said according to a notice, a meeting of chairpersons will be held on Friday January 18, 2013 while the full central committee meeting is scheduled for Sunday.
The disciplinary committee which heard cases against Mr Lubinda and suspended Eastern Province chairman Lucas Phiri, among others, sat from January 4 to 6, 2013.
The committee then forwarded its recommendations to the PF central committee for action.
Mr Lubinda, Mr Phiri and other accused party members appeared before the committee.
Pressure has been mounting with party members calling for the expulsion of Mr Lubinda from the party, accusing him of working with opposition parties.
PF secretary general Wynter Kabimba gave Mr Lubinda a seven-day ultimatum to exculpate himself from allegations that he was leaking confidential information to the media and opposition parties.
And Mr Phiri was suspended from the party with five other officials for allegedly sowing seeds of division in PF.
Mr Phiri and other suspended officials were also accused of working with former Chipata Central MP Lameck Mangani to propagate division in the district.

Yes: we need discipline but we should also be lenient. For now we will wait for the outcome and we will be able to pass judgement on the PF decision for now we will wait patiently. Mind you save the party and build our mother Zambia
ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT IT DEPENDS ON THE OFFENDER NOT THE OFFENCE ?
stanyoko…it seems you are supporting this selfish people like kabimba and pata…he is the best politician zambia has ever had…this government is mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!tombanoko…if they suspend lubinda,then come 2016 bafikala bakaya!!!!!
we do not know whether Hon. Lubinda has been found guilty or not. The report of the findings have not yet been made public, so we wait!
Yaba ! Anyway tukomfwako.
AYENDE CHABE. 1 CLIQUE CANNOT BE BIGGER THAN POVERTY THAT KABWATA IS GOING THROUGH. AM READY TO CAST MY VOTE ON PF
PF, I put before you life and death. Choose for yourself! The decision you will make may appear minute. But stay awake of the earthquake that will follow thereafter. PF please use reason and not emotions in making your decisions and judgements. Lubinda might have differed with Sata in one of your cabinet meetings. But this is not the way to deal with differences of opinions and principles to the extent of using pre-emption. You don’t send wild dogs to persons that differ with you not how powerful you are. Use constructive engagement. Dialogue is always the best! Those who have ears let them listen ……!
In my own view,I think it would be better if PF settles their differences with Lubinda for the sake of the party’s unity.At times it’s good to just sort out the differences among yourselves rather than jumping on suspensions.
LT rephrase your heading It should read:
SATA TO PASS LUBINDA’S VERDICT USING MOUTH PIECE WYNTER KABIMBA.
THE ALLEGATIONS LEVELED AGAINST GIVEN LUBINDA ARE FALSE AND FICTIOUS. WYNTER JUST THINK HE CAN SUCCEED SATA AND IS JUST SCARED OF ANYBODY WHO SEEM TO BE MORE ACCURATE AND PRECISE THAN HIM. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KABIMBA AND FTJ CHILUBA(MHSRIP)-SELFISH.FOR THAT KABWATA PF THUG THEY CALL SILUBANJE,THAT CHARACTER IS JUST PAID FOR WHAT IS DOING
PF Commits Suicide!
Message to President Sata and Honarable Kawimba. People in kabwata and indeed most of Zambia voted for PF because you promised change. We are still awiaitng the change. Honarable Lubinda stood aganist corruption even before PF got into power. Both of you know how popular he is because he listens and delivers. The two of you know this fact too well. The two of you have suddenly stopped listeningpeople and to what you don’t like. If it is God’s will, Lubinda will become President of Zambia one day. And it is not according to your wil or up to both of you. People have stopped beliveing in your select fight aganist corruption. R.Banda, Dora, Liato, Kapoko, Namulambe, Banda family, Miti stole but are still free. You are letting Zambia down. Change please! please! please! nichani nkasi ala
Honarable Lubinda, if PF boot you out don’t call them names just stay independent and patriotic to Zambians first. We will vote you back to parliament and eventually to state house. Trust in God. He is your protector and all knowing your future.Every well meaning Zambian knows that you love Zambians and they love you back.Just stay away from UPND and MMD, they are such losers. President Sata and Honorable Kabimba and poor cadres are mere mortal beings.Bola Panshi Given!
Shame on Lubinda, he proved to be truly PF and honest to the president (sata). Let’s wait and see for the final judgement on sunday but as a nation we are fully disappointed with this traitor (lubinda). Not worthy to be minister in the PF government.
