Chief government spokesperson Kennedy Sakeni has refuted as lies media reports suggesting that the Patriotic Front (PF) government is running a parallel intelligence structure in the Office of the President Special Division headed by former intelligence chief Xavier Chungu.

Mr. Sakeni, who is also Information and Broadcasting Minister, says such media reports are only being spread by people who are enemies of the PF government.

Mr. Sakeni has affirmed that it is not possible for the PF government to run such institutions of such nature as the intelligence service outside government wings as the media reports are suggesting.

He has explained that there are capable and qualified men and women in the country’s security agencies to handle all matters pertaining to the intelligence of the country and that there can not be a need that would require President Michael Sata to create a parallel intelligence structure in his office.

The Chief government spokesperson was speaking in an interview with Qfm.

  1. I don’t like Mr Chuungu for reasons I have tried to keep to my chest. he promised my aunt marriage and left her ad went on to marry another woman
    I have tried forgiving him, I cant

    Women are not trophies!

    Thanks

    • Well, some women like u may be taken for trophies, cos u sell urself cheap everyday on this site. Give urself some dignity, even in your comments

    • Mushota in congo,, mushota in ukraine,, mushota in london… mushota in scotland!!!!
      Guys get real!! surely you cannot pretend to be a women.. real man keep their ID as men regardless of anything,, are gays in hiding????,, come tell us you want a sex change or all your ass are on the table for the take

    • Thankyou for earning the most popular troll of the Lusaka times web!Honey or mani keep it up always veering bloggers from the topic!

    • Kanshi ulya gelo naletobako uwatu kaputula utwabosoka ni aunt wobe, okey mwaice nakwishiba nomba… I’ll deal with you!

  2. Why this government is forever responding to reports raised by watchdog beats me.I guess Watchdogs stories are true afterall.I miss RB he run a very mature government,these Kaponya’s are chasing down every bit of criticism like a dog chasing the neighbors car.

    • I will never miss Rupiah Marco Polo Banda even if I dont like Sata. A thief is a thief is a thief!

    • @ Mulenga mwasekesha” like dog chasing neighbor’s car”?
      I also wonder why a former OP like Sakeni can be responding to issues of intelligence, why do we have to know anything about his best friend Saviour Chungu?

    • Your aunt was his trophy and the meat she used to cook for you came from Xaviour. Now that you hit the vegetable rack…..yaaaba

    • PF`s worst enemy is itself… this flip flopping is hard to believe!! anything they say is i would personally take it with a handful of salt….
      even if ZWD are rumour mongers in most case some truth does come out of what they write about….unlike the post which is nothing but manipulative at the moment!!!… and to make even worse in zambia today there is alot of bufi,, i dont know any news outlet which will give news as it is without any agenda…. almost all news men/women are cadres!!!!!

  3. “Don’t believe anything until its been officially denied” – thats the best quote to live by in the age of Pa Mafi govt.

  4. Hmmmmm. I thought it was just another wild and inconsequential story by ZWD not worth responding to. The fact that Sakeni has issued an official statement appears to indicate that there is some sort of truth to it, after all.

  5. Zambian men are ugly nowadays what is happening? Where are the good looking guys all kaponyas and call boys of Soweto?

  6. So why respond Ba Sakeni?
    You never learnt anything from FTJ (MHSRIP).

    Not everything should be responded to unless it is true……………… and we are guessing well!

  7. We must remember some media outlets are sponsored by people who have an ax to grind with the govt. They have vowed to make the country ungovernable and they hate PF with venomous passion.

    I also don’t understand how suddenly RB has become a saint. How could people forget so quickly the rampant corruption that went on with his kids running things while he spent time flying around?

    • things are different in this goverment hunger is a song of the day atleast in RB’s time we would work hard in the street and find money. But now you need to be a pf cadre to have a meal, is that the life you want for zambia.

  8. Amazing how RB can become a saint now? I strongly believe that the people behind that slanderous blog site the watchdog will be found. It is unthinkable in developed countries to issue checked stories at the rate that the watchdog does. The justice system works much faster there
    I am happy that they have been blocked in Zambia because they beginning to create tribal divisions for no reason. The watchdog also systematically blocks any anti watchdog sentiments. I would also have thought that the govt should focus on talking about development. I personally cannot see how the PF will dislodged if all their projects are completed before 2016.
    RB just started development when he realized that elections were near, these guys started from the word go! Three more years..lets wait and see!

    • Just say you are a PF cadre who has benefited in one way or another full stop. The watchdog provide balanced news than Lusaka Times. For your information, it is a popular site visited by more than two million people on daily basis. Your Post, Daily, Times, and Muvi TV have all lost direction. The Watchdog is the only online paper at the moment that is providing checks and balances to the PF government. Ignore it at your own peril.

  10. Pa Zambia, everything is nonsense. Ba Pf i know its hard to keep quiet over such allegations because everyone including the people blaming you now will blame you again for not saying anything. They will be saying why are you quiet this time. Please try by all means to ignore all this nonsense and concentrate on development, which some of us believe you can do

  11. Plese tell those lies to children infact zimbabwean children not even zambian kids would buy that load of crap sakeni so really shut up mushota shut up no one cares about your slut aunty who was about to cause marriage interference you insects

  12. I see no problem of having a parallel security structure for the purpose of safeguarding the interest of the Nation. World wide countries are expanding their securities, cos the world is no longer safe. MR Chungu is a well trained Zambian in that regard, its just prudent that when need be he can be used.

  13. It appears Lusaka Times is the PF mouth piece. It is heavily compromised and only champion the agenda of the PF government. I will never visit this site again. Let me now go to the watchdog where I read balanced news.
