UPND mourns Sibetta

Share

The opposition UPND has described the death of former Luena MP Crispin Sibetta as a huge blow to the party and to the nation.

UPND Deputy Spokesman Cornelius Mweetwa said the former Parliamentarian was a reservoir of political experience and knowledge.

“This is a huge blow to us as the UPND. Honourable Sibetta was a source of experience and reservoir of political knowledge. We are saddened to announce his death,” Mr. Mweetwa said.

He was a loyal member of the party even when he was not adopted to re-contest his parliamentary seat, he remained committed to the UPND’s vision of emancipating the majority of Zambians from poverty and under development, Mr. Mweetwa said.

He said, “Even at a time when the UPND faced some turbulences, Honourable Sibetta never abandoned the party and we soldiered on together, he shall be missed greatly.”

The former Luena Member of Parliament Crispin Sibetta died in the early hours of today from suspected of brain tumor.

Mr. Sibetta held the Luena seat in Western Province for 15 years as an Independent candidate before retaining it on a UPND ticket in 2001.

In 2006, Mr. Sibetta however lost the seat to Charles Milupi who stood as an Independent candidate.
The funeral is being held at his Makeni Farm in Lusaka.

  1. Very big loss, although to others will have a vacant seat and a JOB and also development will come to luena because by elections always come with fulfied promises. I will miss the man though i never knew or met him in person but i could read of his contributions in parliament , very analytical and helpful. Many MPS never contribute to any motion in parliament like Hon. Nicholas Banda, Moses Mteteka, Foly Tembo etc anyway MHSRIP

  4. One of the biggest mistakes people make when buying blood pressure monitors is buying the wrong instrument. That’s why a lot of people get frustrated and annoyed in just a matter of weeks of use.
