Opposition United Party for National Development president Hakainde Hichilema has accused republican president Michael Sata of instructing the police to brutally attack him and innocent people when he tried to hold meetings in Eastern Province.
Speaking at a press briefing in lusaka a day after he was escorted by armed police out of Eastern Province were he had gone to hold a series of meetings Mr Hichilema said the armed police who blocked him from having meetings with people were acting under instructions from president Sata.
He said the president was not happy after he realized that his popularity is fast diminishing while the UPND is gaining numbers in all parts of the country each day that passes.
He further accused the Zambia police service of playing double standards in the way they are applying the public order act saying the time his entourage was being harassed by the police Panji Kaunda was having meetings without a permit in the same area.
The UPND leader has since vowed to go back to the province and mobilize his party saying president Sata can not tell him were he should go or not.
Meanwhile Mr Hichilema has described republican vice president Dr Guy Scott as having an upside down mind for suggesting that the country does not need a good constitution but a good leader.
He said the remarks were unfortunate especially that they were coming from a senior member of both the ruling party and government.
The UPND leader further urged Zambians to unite and fight for their rights which the PF are trying to take away.
Speaking at the same briefing party vice president incharge of politics Dr. Canisius Banda said it was stupid and foolish for the PF government to fire the nurses in the country.
Dr Banda said the act by the PF government was wrong and challenged them not to deny the forgiven nurses any of their entitlements.
He noted that the PF has reinstated the Nurses after the pressure from his party and other well-meaning Zambians.
Meanwhile UPND National Chairperson Mutale Nalumango said enough is enough on abuse of people’s rights by the PF government.
Ms Nalumango said the UPND is party
that is there to deliver Zambians from the poverty which is rampant in the country.
Tell them off! They are stupid liars,where is more money,jobs and lower taxes as by fake promise made during compaign. Remember 2016 is approaching ba PF.
Would be ashamed to be lying at 76. Not anymore
why is HH being stopped from going to chipata and freely walk on the streets of chipata speaking tonga-nyanja?? Is he not Zambian??
Yeah , Kumawa we will be back with full force this time .
Mambala SATA ayopa chani? WHAT IS SATA AFRAID OF?
All PF zealots here on LT are now quiet after realising that UPND and HH are gaining grounds in areas they thought it was not possible. We told you PF minions that PF is fast becoming a “CHITULIKA PARTY” to represent only those in SATA’s village. But even in CHITILUKA they have realised that their son is MAD and don’t trust him any more.
Mwatakazembe and Chitimukulu are now praying for UPND and HH to liberate them from the SATA’s idio.cy.
But African old presidents are cursed. At that age of 76, instead of doing the right thing so that you leave a good legacy, you want to destroy yourself and your destiny. Instead doing the honourable thing so that even when you kick a bucket, heaven will accept you. But alas, its not the case with many african old dictators. Surely very few if not none, are life Mr Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. What a man Mandela was. Not these criminals, satanists, liars and witches masquerading as noble leaders. Sata is a curse to Zambia.
@Ndobo, some of the of your questions. It is like suggesting that us in foreign countries are not allowed to walk freely and visit locals. I think HH is more Zambian compared to those snacking on mbeba in Chipata.
Go, go, go, It is the time to reveal the truth. Read SABCS and hear what is happening to RSA’s president.
Go Zambia Zambia Go.
GOVERNING A COUNTRY THROUGH PHONE SMS ‘S AND RENAME SMS AS FACE BOOK ZAMBIANS BEASY ATI PRESIDENT
It’s a Joke. Comedy at at it’s best
Apparently he is the only president world over who rules via facebook. Chances are that ‘post boy’ is the one posting throughout, implying he is exercising authority beyond his mandate.
You are right your excellence its because PF politricks have gone down and will never come to life. We were told one day when we were at Petauke Secondary School by one of our geography teachers at that time that anxiety and mediocrity killed a cat. I thought he was joking but now i see. PF was too excited when they learn t that they had won elections through cheating and never thought that BOZA LIKUWELA. Everything they are doing is contrary to people’s expectation.
Killing and mistreating God’s children because of power will not work. Even realists don’t behave like these guys. Kindly give people a new constitution before 2016 because whether you give us or not, you have already lost it out pilizi.
Uluse ba Mama Nalumango. Nowhere to go, not in Kaputa, not anywhere in the North Sector, let alone in the cosmopolitan areas. In the end she had decided to assimilate as a bantustanist.
what a tribalist you are!!!!

Awe kwena shuwa, Zambia has really lost it. How is it possible in this day and age for a Zambian to be blocked from visiting another part of the country, worst still, being hounded out of a region that he is entitled to be in by virtue of the fact that he is a citizen of the country? Eastern Province yaba kwati ni Crimea??? Awe shuwa, this is a very dangerous and scary path that PF is embarking on.
Sata never recovered when he was declared persona non granta in Malawi and hounded out when he went to give rigging advice to Bakili Muluzi. In his mind he thinks he can do subject Zambians to the same treatment in their own country. Pure nasty piece of work this Bisa gangstar.
That’s my man. Show these imbeciles that you are NOT a slave in your own country or anywhere else. Any Zambian should be free to go to any region in the county.
HH please go to Muchinga,northern and luapula. These advisors you have sometimes are misleading you. Why go to Eastern where the UPND is guaranteed victory?
Which victory in eastern? You UPND chaps have chipumputu. Eastern is for MMD. Which statistics are you using? You grand father’s statistics? Which sit do you have as UPND in eastern? If anything after MMD, it is PF then NAREP. You will die of BP. Wait for 2 more years after the projects are done such as link Zambia 8000, pave 2000, new airport, Chingola-kitwe dual road , 600 health posts, refurbished UTH, L400 and many many more. You will cry in 2016. Remember PF is strong in Northern, Muchinga, CB, north Central, Lusaka, luapula, around chongwe, luangua etc. So UPND chaps less than 100000 have access to Internet and out of that few visit social medias like LT or useless ZWD. Voters are there in the village. Anyway I won’t talk much
@ME, why is sata stopping HH from visiting eastern province if PF is as strong as u say it is? If HH wants to make noise let him. He will embarrass himself as you said link 8000 will service the debt and generate income for the nation. Infrastructure Development will mean nothing if it comes @ the expense of the economy.
HH just wants attention. They will clobber him again. Those areas have by elections under petition. HH just wants to start campaigning in advance for 2016. I know what he wants to say: you easterners are the same as Tongas so we are one: Liar. Why was he not refrained from campaigning in Katuba, mansa, etc.? It is not yet time for campaigns. HH will be bitten squarely in 2016
I guess you didnt see anything wrong with Sata trotting around the country years before the 2011 campaign period? He was unrestrained and so why is he restraining others from visiting the length and bredth of the country. Is it becouse the shoe is not on his foot?
Amatwi alikwata nomba tomfwa elo nobufi pakanwa fyani. Bushe akakula lilali huyu humuntu
but why act with such intent to deliberately cause anarchy ka (HH). why do you want to become a rebel in a peaceful nation?
your imb.ecile mind has surely failed to convince the masses you resort to arrogant stupidity
@Kudos
When ever Sata hears HH is talking to people even in areas where there are by elections, shikipolomya ilamwikata Sata bad.
What is SATA afraid of? Why worry if the people can see your “defelopment” and NOT development. Development is real and tangible while “defelopment” is promises about development never to be fulfilled.
Sata and PF have delivered a lot of “defelopment” so far. Every where he has been, he has told the people he will build a “stagium” Not stadium and “unifesity” Not and a University.
Yaba, HH is really giving you guys sleepless nights. Sata ‘s appetite is in disarray, he can’t eat properly nowadays for fear of HH. Azayonda.
Viva UPND and HH. You are the only hope for Zambia.
Dr. Canisius Banda stupid and f o o l ish is you and your Homeless Hutu rebel (HH)
ka (HH) gaining numbers all over the country? you think choma is a country? since when? in your small smoked out mind you accuse the president of directing ZP to harass you? HE MCS has better things to do wajata ngombe iwe
Skull head Kudo – you ku kl.ux Kla.n geno.cide apar.theid advo.cate; hutu style.
Guy Scott is *****ic in saying that we need a good leader and not a good constitution.. a good leader is just that ” good” a good constitution guarantees the production of a great leader because it offers the checks and balances that often leaders wouldn’t abide to if leadership was left to them and them alone.
I remember Mwanawasa at one time banned Politicians from holding rallies , saying it was not time for campaigns as he had not announced the date for the General elections!. Mwanawasa stated that early campaigns will confuse the people and bring elections mood into the country, thereby slowing down the country’s productivity. I hope Mwanawasa was being genuine , but if he wasn’t , then Sata is right to ban rallies
@Amuna Onzuna
Did Sata head that advice? Did Mwanawasa sent the police to harass Sata?
Do you know why Mwanawasa was not worried about Sata campaigning? Its because he knew he was doing the right thing and people loved him. Sata knows he has messed up big time thats why he is so paranoid of any one telling the people the truth against him.
Your statement is hollow and deserves to be binned straight away.
True my brother. People are so hard on Sata as if he is not delivering. For me I will vote for Sata. Period
@wnzelu, what has Sata done to you? Do you even sleep? To you you dream HH, think HH, dream HH. Do you even keep your eyes off the internet? Do you that Mwanawasa inherited the economy when Chiluba had already started the campaign for HIPC? You candidate HH was a strong critic of Mwanawasa. What has changed now. RB was a friend of Chiluba who was said to be a criminal by Mwanawasa. Now RB is a friend of HH so that RB can give eastern to HH. I am from east and I can tell you that the east is bigger than RB. I know all your monkey tricks. You want by whatever means your candidate to rule. But take hid that he will be a distant third? HH started critisizing 2 days after PF to over. What kind of bitterness is that? You will receive a rude shock in 2016.
@BBC how is sata, delivering? I don’t know coz the upnd Has been louder than pf.
Sata and his PF have turned Zambia into uncivilized country.
@cnp, you asking how sata is delivering because UPND has been talking? what kind of thinking is that? its jast like the way one cadre used to say in the past that , ” see president chiluba has brought you eclipse”
Kudo you are falling in love with HH and UPND, you are all up in their business
What’s up with PF police getting jealous, this is crucial time every party needs
to consolidate themselves and reflect on best way forward, than worrying about
Other parties, the ruling party has a lot of issues they need to address, Consolidate
themselves, rather than chasing HH, you making him significant as people always
seem to sympathize with the underdog.
But African old presidents are cursed. At that age of 76, instead of doing the right thing so that you leave a good legacy, you want to destroy yourself and your destiny. Instead doing the honourable thing so that even when you kick a bucket, heaven will accept you. But alas, its not the case with many african old dictators. Surely very few if not none, are life Mr Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. What a man Mandela was. Not these criminals, satanists, liars and witches masquerading as noble leaders. Sata is a curse to Zambia.
HH listen to the Labour Party in UK they are telling the masses what they will do for Britain.HH tell us what you and your party will do for. Zambians do not bring confusion in our country.You have not apologize to the people if Luanshya to date. trust me you will not win any election if you continue to be bitter winning is about numbers you are still in minority.PF has done well come 2016 they will pin point all their achievements and as for you you will be campaigning on tribal lines .
You must have been born today. Let me repeat just for you anyway. UPND will:
1. Bring back politics of decency, honesty and dignity. They will get rid of this PF politics of thugs.
2. Bring non regionally biased development and empowerment of all citizens regardless of tribe. Basically balance appointments among all tribes unlike whats happening today. Muchinga cant have two universities under construction and northwest non when resources are coming from north west.
3. Pass a people driven constitution that will allow effective, efficient and sustainable development by laying a foundation for good governance.
4. Corruption in high places will be reduced to negligible levels because HH is already rich and not into politics to taste riches.
5. UPND has a very formidable gang of MPs who…
Together with other highly qualified professionals who dont want to identify themselves with UPND today for fear of persecution will run government in an effective manner. Even PF agree that UPND MPs are good.
6. HH is a successful farmer himself and will definitely develop agriculture which should be the backborn of every African economy.
7. The never ending confusion, commotion, disorganisation, you see from state house to govt ministries will be a thing of the past as UPND has a plan already to hit the road running. Since Sata fell just after inauguration when he appointed 10 MPs, he has never recovered to stand run govt.
8. Will not borrow recklessly for consumption and cosmetic, regional development.
9. Empower youth unlike the current situ where exhausted madalas like Munkombwe…
If do not what UPND has in store for Zambia by now then you are either dull or demented.
Before you ask such questions first answer this question. WHY IS SATA SO AFRAID OF HH CAMPAIGNING AND MEETING THE PEOPLE?
IS it not just evident that PF is fast becoming a “CHITULIKA PARTY”?
If Sata was delivering as you are saying then he would not be scared of his own shadows. What makes him use the police against HH is the fact that he knows HH gaining ground faster than he expected.
when (HH) grows up from under 5 maybe he will start listening to authority. he has the behaviour of a rebellious 3 year old kid what an id io t. the people are watching you kill your own campaign and you are still stubborn. how thick can you be? is it that your thick hair has entered your brain if you even have one? you are a big let down to the founding fathers of upnd mazoka and company
but i bet Wanzelu and Siamanengo still feel good watching this cow (HH) chew cud and spit it out from his 4 stomachs.
@kudo
you are really obsessed with this man HH. unfortunately you are not on the ground like I am to know the mood of the people. Am right in the heart of copperbelt the supposedly pf strong hold. it is gone my brother. come 2016 kambwili will be in the opposition and may collapse with his blood pressure. if I may ask you a question, why do you seem to hate HH with passion?
“we thought he was a liberator but alas!” Copper Belt.
“we thought he was a liberator but alas!” Copper Belt. Ci kudos you are an imbecile cipuba cabe go to hell with that bigot of yos! viva HH! We salute HH NOT chimbwi no plan chumbu mushololwa now pipo realise they voted for a bigot c the placard frm CB.
Pf is surviving by police cadres turning zambia into forgone apartheid! His cabinet is useless
Wanted: A photo of a smiling HH! Will pay handsomely for this rare gem!
If I had away of talking directly to president sata,would advice him to leave cowbell (hh) alone.following him and responding to everything he says makes him bigheaded.pf should concentrate on more important issues that are affecting ordinary zambians that gave them the mandate to govern.in my community the general feeling is that sata should be given another term,very few look to HH as the alternative.most bloggers are far from reality.
Just look at the photograph, what a bunch of LOSERS! You will NEVER rule this country, LOSERS!
Link Zambia 8000, pave 2000, new airport, Chingola-kitwe dual carriage road , 600 health posts, refurbished UTH, L400 ,Universities,secondary schools,New Districts…etc VIVA SATA VIVA PF – WINA ZALILA AGAIN IN 2016!
its very encouraging to note that lusakatimes has joined Zambianwatchdog,Upnd and 99 percent of Zambians in the process of removing pf from power due to their unprofetionalism in all spheres of good gorvenance.Viva in coming young and vibrant P
Which people does hh speak on behalf of? Is it the BANTUSTAN or not because there are no tongas in mambwe and malambo. So let him take his stupidity to tongaland where they know him other wise next time he goes KUMAWA azakabwelako mu coffin or better still without a head and arms. STUPID ***** hh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why Sata is afraid of HH…!! Here is the snapshot,, HH is grown into more formatatble candidate to take over power from sata…!! SATA knows very well that if HH penetrate eastern province, that is the end of PF…!! People who are talking about MMD lack seriousness,,MMD got those MPs because of Rupiah as their candidate, this time Mumba will even be luck to get 3 MPs from areas where Rupiah got..!! It is this fact that alot of PF more especially Bemba speaking tribe do hate HH so much….!the history will tell us who will be the next president of zambia…! Just look across zambezi river, Ian Smith hated Mugabe so much that he prefered Nkomo to rule zimbabwe….but Mugabe won,,,Sata hate HH, so will handover power to the person he hate…that is the way miracles works…!!
Iam gonna give u a piece of advice mr. HH.This is africa u will die pofya.
He who runs away lives 2 fight another day.
Take it or leave it.
