MMD president Nevers Mumba has said that President Michael Sata must acknowledge that the Presidency demands truth and civility.

Speaking in an interview with Qfm news, Dr. Mumba said that the President must also acknowledge the fact that his government has failed to fulfill the promises made to Zambians in the run up to the 2011 general elections.

Dr. Mumba said that regardless of how political President Sata and his government wish to be, they should recognize the opposition as partners in development.

He said that the opposition will not relent in holding the government accountable for their actions in the interest of poor Zambians.

Dr. Mumba has reiterated that government has to respect Zambians by seeking forgiveness for failing to honour his promises.

Meanwhile, Republican President Michael Sata is in Mpongwe constituency where he is scheduled to hold a political rally to drum up support for Patriotic Front candidate Gabriel Namulambe in the forthcoming by elections on this Thursday 28th February 2013.

President Sata this morning attended a mass at Saint Theresa Catholic Church at Ibenga Mission.

The president who is in the company of Vice President Guy Scott and senior Patriotic Front officials later paid a courtesy call at Chieftainess Malembeka’s palace of the Lamba people.

He is expected to return to Lusaka soon after the the rally.

Yesterday, the President was in Livingstone to campaign for PF candidate Lawrence Evans.

  1. Easy pastor Mumbwe.It is too early to talk about the unfulfilled promises.Every president in Zambia should be judged after 5 years in power, even Obama failed to fulfill some of the promises in his first term.

    • @Main Market no he wasn’t but the fact that he was Mwanawasa`s vice and aimed at completing his predecessors visions and programs made us to lump him in the same category(Five years)

    • Main Market, the constitution did not allow Banda to stay for 5 years, surely you know the history, in 2011 the people rejected him. Sata may also be rejected in 2016!

    • No need to wait for five yeArs to remind your sATa that he haS lamEtably fAiled to fulfil wild promises he madE to gulliAblE zambiAns

    • Masala market DO NOT PEDDLE LIES like your president. The USA economy under Obama watch is growing and robust. USA has recorded an improvement in growth within a year. Talk about your CNP president can not even build a toilet. His main mission is by-elections where further lies are made to Zambians. Satashould apologise to Zambians over his 90 days promises which are many to list.

    • Tell this fake kateka wa mother monthly distroyer party to shut up did rb gave us what we wanted in 90days?after all he was busy cheawing our money in canada.

  2. PF came into power through crookedness, that is the reason why they are failing to fulfill their crooked promises. Even the man in the treet can now see and feel what is going on in the country. Zambia is no longer experiencing the usual “easy going” kind of life, things are tense politically because of PF’s behaviour towards the opposition.

    • What crookedness, PF sold its self to the Zambians and the people gave them a fieve years mandate to govern. We who voted for the PF will only judge them after five years bwana

    • Decotexx,if things are tense, it’s because of people who will not accept that they were defeated fairly in the 2011 elections, and want to do everything they can to frustrate government’s programs, for the sake of them acceding to power, no matter what the cost to the people they claim they want to serve.
      The truth of the matter is that many ordinary Zambians are able to see and to judge fairly and accurately, because information is available to them.
      Many of those greedy and impatient people think they arre advancing their causes through their crazy actions, but they don’t realize they are just shooting themselves in the foot! The voters are watching the scene keenly.

    • They told people they will do most of their stuff within 90 days…after 90 days, they started changing goal-posts…that’s beeing crooked.

  3. WRONG MAN TO MAKE SUCH COMMENTS WHEN MMD FAILED ZAMBIANS FOR 20 Plus Years. BA MUMBA JUST KEEP QUITE PLEASE, MMD CAUSED ALL THIS RUBBISH. OUR COUNTRY HAS A SERIOUS LEADERSHIP CRISIS. ONE JOKER AFTER ANOTHER.

    • Ebupuba ubu bwine has Nevers ever ruled Zambia? even the MMD you are busy rubbishing left a sound n viable economy let us avoid personal assassinations n be objective then there will be hope for the future

    • Address your anger to Sata and Guy Scott who were in the first 10 years of MMD rule as cabinet ministers.Mumba was not part of this bunch when your Post Newspaper branded MMD as the most corrupt Party.MMD has changed its top leadership thanks to Michael Sata who has creamed out all perceived corrupt individuals to his PF party.

    • It is not only Sata and Scott who were in MMD. Chikwanda, Luo, Sakeni, Katema etc were in the first MMD gov’t. PF is simply MMD 1 reborn! These are failures from a very corrupt MMD era of Chiluba. This is the same cabal that was pro Chiluba third term. They rebelled at the choice of Levy as MMD Presidential candidate. They regrouped under PF to fulfil Kapwepwe’s dream of Bemba domination.

    • Define insults?
      Mention one insult Nevers issued against the president
      When you are criticised or held accountable you are not insulted.
      This thinking is meant to silence any voice of correction.
      .

  4. Sometimes I wonder if those hero worshiping Sata are his relatives who have benefited from the chaos this man is creating in order to enrich themselves before the whole country turn on them. Surely these people should by now know that they will be hunted down like dogs when their Messiah finally gets removed from office. The man is testing the patience of Zambians to the core. The dormant volcanic eruption is fast heading towards being active. Someone please help me understand our people. We hounded Levy to his premature death even when he dedicated himself to defending our freedom. What do you see in our President Sata that warrants some of you to go to extraordinary lengths to defend him? What good are you seeing in this man? please help me, maybe eyes are deceiving me?

  5. Iwe Mumba: what truth and civility did you tell and show to the congregations at Zambia Shall Be Saved before you abandoned them for a few pieces of silver?

  6. Been around for sometime, in all fairness. The MMD made this country far better than it was during the last ten or so years of UNIP. May be they an opportunity to do better and hope the PF would make even a bigger difference in the lives of many expectant zambians. PF has inherited a country in a better state and if they fail to full fill their promises, then their failure will be worse than even UNIP

  7. of all things i hate, what i hate most is politicians thinking that I’m a fool (me as a voter) surely mumba himself can’t be mentioned in the santence with words like ‘truth and civility’ there is nothing truthful or civil in anything that NM and his friends, SS and HH are doing. mumba acknodleged that there was corruption in MMD but whenever a member of his party is called by ACC he cries ‘political persecution, witch hunt’ so what corruption did he acknoledge? as for HH, am very disappointed in him, he was a man that i thought i would look forwad to someday but not anymore, until he removes his bitterness and starts to think rationally he can forget about ever getting my vote. As for saki, hahaha, he is less than nothing political-wise. MUMBA START BY BEING CIVIL AND TRUTHFUL…

    • You have eyes but you cannot see, you have hears but you cannot hear. Zambian lets learn to change governance NOT parties. Let us NOT insult our leaders if the have failed us. Lets respect what God has given to us. You even blame a man you have never slept with of being fatherless and find alot of faults in a virgin woman. SATA has given us a People’s driven Constitution which MMD denied Zambian; but he is misusing government machinery worse than RB. He condermned Public Order Act, and he is happy using it to fight the opposition. Good PF they have continued the MMD left Projects since they have no ideas of their own yet. RB left 2.5 million dollars in coffers more than KK, Chiluba nor RPM. RB made his won cash NOT cash in the bank. Sata want to destroy the buried cash by bring in…

  8. You think pipo like the above are normal just like their demagogue Mumba,a hypocrite who needs deliverance immedietely?Substanciate wat u say and don’t think u are speaking to pipo who are lunatics like u. Mmd will never come back. Upnd,ni 2050.

  9. Fellows Zambians how slow and blind we are tha we can not see development.Sata is the right man for the Job for he is committed to help build Zambia.He does not cherish corruption and is geared to develop our country.

    Plans are under way to construct an underground tube in Lusaka including a tram rail system.A team of investors were in Zambia recently to look at that possibility.Also plans are underway to construct shopping complex at each and every rail station.Ring roads, motor ways are on the drawing board.All these projects will require labour

    So what is our Br Mumba saying where is victory ministry what about his party he formed who had succeeded between him and HE MC Sata? Sata formed PF and today he is the head of Govt.Who had a good CV mwebantu?

    • Sata is too sick to think about development and hullucinates about by-elections as development. Anywhere without by-election will not receive development according to PF Sata. Well, well I would rather remain without that development and Sata is president minus my area. He is president of BEMBALAND according to PF concept of development.

  10. Now I see why PF created a by election in itezhi tezhi. To accommodate Andeleki. Monde is in deep trouble. Diplomatic disservice perhaps?

  11. u pipo supporting Mumba..i wonder what kind of pipo u are. may i start by advising u to praise someone for good things even when u were born to hate them. change of gvt usually is followed by transition period. in this period u may not see that those in power are doing anything yet they are. Scrutinisation of old policies to see which ones best suit their beliefs and possibly make amendments and formulate more is the major activity in this period. To me PF is the only party destined to make Zambia a paradise and am seeing it happening….patience pays.. otherwise u who were born with insults in your mouth are a big dissappointment..i know in yo hearts u belief that Sata is hard working but a day can’t pass without insulting…

  12. Ba Mumba mulishilu that is why the late President Mwanawasa remove you from government and the Party. Its only that all MMD are blind. They have got eyes but they cant see. twalimyaba ati saleni Mutati mwasala failure.

    • You don’t get to pick the people who should oppose our clueless , myopic and pathetic government.

    • u a right, when he was stealing tithe from the poor, he didnt demand of himself what he is demanding from others.
      As for up nd down party (upnd)suppprters, soon you ll all die from bitterness. Mcs is in power and state house. Forget your small enclave party with a directionless under 5 president.

  13. ulile, useke, ushane. upone whatever ifwe ni mo money in our pokets. 2016 im giving mumba sorry hh no i meant sata my VOTE.

  14. Wasn’t Nevers advocating punch for punch politics with Sata? On the platform of punch for punch politics he was handpicked by RB to takeover MMD? What has happened to that strategy? Is he already succumbing to the jabs, hooks and uppercuts?

  15. Dataless YONDO SISTER we did not vote for HE MCS because of the promises but because we wanted to kick Alabi out of State house chalichila and out of the candidates HE MCS was definately the best. How many times do I have to explain this kanshi? Problem mulanda ifintu no data, police, prisons, bakaili amauniform yalipwile, civil servants no settling, subsistence allowances while the leaders’ children and their g/friends and childrens’ g/friends drove expensive cars and were visibly wealthier in 3 years. Kabili twaleikala nabo, some have even run away and left big mansions, come home we can show you.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.

  16. TONY BLAIR who told you that people in church are poor? I give my tithe and offering because the Holy Bible says so (refer to Malachi), not because my pastor has told me, all they do (pastors) is to teach me, they “pastor” . Am not a pastor but even where I am outside zambia I teach people to tithe and give because it shall be to their benefit like the apostle Paul wrote in one of his epistles (letters). May your spiritual eyes be opened.
