PF denies training militias

Share

The ruling Patriotic Front in Lusaka has refuted media reports suggesting that it is training militias at an NGO based in Lusaka’s longacres area.

Patriotic Front Lusaka District chairperson Goodson Banda has disclosed to Qfm that the NGO in question is funded by his party but that it is meant to educate youths in computer skills and political science with the purposes of maintaining a transitional leadership to carry on from the present generation.

Mr. Banda notes that the PF does not want to be caught up in the same predicament the MMD and UNIP has remained in after failing to groom youths that will take over their parties’ leadership after the current generation.

Meanwhile the PF District Chairperson has refuted claims by some Civil Society organizations suggesting that subsidies on fuel and maize indicate that the PF has revised its constitution.

Mr. Banda has maintained that PF manifesto is still intact as it was when the ruling party was campaigning for the 2011 general elections.

    • yes it is. they are training PF thugs. I have a friend who is one of them he has been brain-washed. started targeting anyone opposed to them

    • What is issue based….here is an accusation made against PF and still explanation is meaningless. Is it NGO or training for party cadres?

  1. its strange for the ruling party to make NGOs, companies!!!! which they did not do whilst in opposition

    • exactly my thought..a while back we were told PF had formed a company. How does that work? Do they get preferential treatment when it comes to government business? I pray its no built on the UNIP model of PIG.

  2. No issue based debates ba oppo. However,going by the amount of provocation from these morons and their stance as if wen they are in the opo its enermity;l would rather love to b empowered as a militia to deal with them. No patriotism in them.

    • Oxymoron you are! Patriotism to who? Sata? You must be joking. And what is this provocation you’re talking about? My dear take your primitive politics to chitulika village. If you cannot stand criticism get out of politics. Zambia belongs to all of us and we have the right to be heard. Democracy does not start and end with Sata in power. And what issue based politics are you on about? You’re a maggot who believes that subsidies, new districts, euro bonds, bye elections, huge cabinet, denial of freedom of assembly etc are not issue based politics . Only praise singing qualifies to be issued based politics!

  3. It’s a shame that due to greed Zambianhas failed to live up to the expectation of a Christian nation. We are worse off than 1991 in the brain

  4. By accepting that you formed this NGO, you just acknowledged that there’s is some truth in the accusation Mr.

    • Today’s pardoned prisoners brings the total number of those pardoned to 4000 since this government took office, there could be more to this story ka!

  5. Why does PF choose to do things in an opaque manner? Firstly no membership cards for their members and now funding of NGOs (with their new found wealth). And I’m certain this is not the only NGO receiving PF funding. Then there was the issue of sending youth for God-know-what training in Sudan. Its all to gestapo-like and too murky for ones liking.

  6. And just out of curiosity, how far are the plans to reintroduce the national service for school leavers? Our youth certainly could do with some life skill to get them started, not just those belonging to the party.

  7. The fact of the matter is that PF youths under Commandate Field Marshal Justice Minister Nominated MP Secretary General Kabimba SC, are up to no good. Its written all over them in their demeanor and behavior that there’s a militia in the offing. A militia is easier to use against opponents as its typically unofficial or… ( you damn well guessed right! ) NGO! Speaks volumes doesn’t it? Reminiscent of the Chawama panga wielding thugs commanded by one ‘baldphobia’ Generalisimo. Rings a bell? Huh?
