UPND President Hakainde Hichilema has accused the ruling party of breaking electoral laws with impunity in the just ended By Elections. In a statement released to the media congratulating the winners, Mr Hachilema said that it was not easy to compete against a corrupt regime such as PF and expressed his sympathy with the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) and other law enforcement agencies such as the police that are doing their work under very difficult circumstances.

Below is the full statement.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

14th September 2014

Fellow countrymen and women, elections come and go, but life continues.

Let me start by congratulating the winners in the past by-elections that were conducted in Vubwi, Kasenengwa, Zambezi West, Solwezi Central and Mkushi South, I say congratulations.

I should however note that competing against a corrupt regime such as the PF, is never an easy job because they freely break the electoral rules with impunity. Rules such as on the use of government resources and civil servant such District Commissioners.

We are also seeing a situation where party officials and ministers can now freely use Zambia Air Force (ZAF) helicopters for campaigns, a facility which only reserved for the President and his vice.

We fully sympathise with the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) and other law enforcement agencies such as the police that are doing their work under very difficult circumstances.

I wish to urge all our members and genuine Zambians never to give up on the need for a new constitution that will provide for a more focused leadership in the country that will be truly accountable to the voters.

As UPND, we know that the low voter turn-out in the just ended by-elections can only mean that Zambians are fatigued with perpetual elections since 2011 that the PF have subjected them at the expense of development and lowering the cost of leaving such as reduction in mealie meal prices.

In fact as UPND, we are asking the PF to immediately give the Zambians a new constitution and call for a general election so that a more responsible and representative government can come into office and deliver economic emancipation for our people.

I thank you.
Hakainde Hichilema
UPND President

    • You are just a sore loser and why did it have to take you this long to recover from your shock defeat and comment now.

      You were wired straight and clean in Zambezi West and am sure you can’t believe to this day. There was no ZAF Helicopter used in Zambezi West, you just lost your seat clean you square under 5 with your under 5 party

    • You are just a pathetic and miserable loser, who has successfully destroyed, shredded and mutilated the once vibrant UPND.

      You shed crocodile tears looking for sympathy instead of accepting that you have lamentably failed.

      leave the leadership position to other with political clout can stop the current acute haemorrhaging going on in your party. Your deep pocket from your laundered loot cant buy quality leadership

      You are indeed a nondescript pedestrian politician

    • The bitter man has spoken ! This guy always comes up with an excuse of some sort. The problem with him is he doesn’t realize that it is this whining and making mountains out of mole hills that has continued making him unpopular.
      You just lost, and no sugar coating or unfounded statements will change the status of things.
      I advise you to reflect in this dismal performance your party had and maybe use it to your advantage. It might be a blessing in disguise.
      You must question yourself why for example your party has lost the Zambezi seat after holding on to it since 2001.
      My other advice is reduce on your cheap politics using your little Zambian watchdog. Lastly but not the least i advise you to concentrate on campaigning for 2021 since it is now clear that 2016 is beyond you.

    • @Saulosi, did you even read the press statement or you only saw picture of President HH, and on rampage as usual?
      There is alot of sense in what HH observed.

    • Oh my goodness what a sore loser the man is.
      Have the decency of accepting a loss like a man.

      How frivolous a statement is that.

      Farmers can’t be presidents.

      Then has spoiled my lunch.

      Nostradamus be nice.
      I am just the seeker of truth and justice like saulosi. Nothing wrong with that. Apologise and withdraw you statement please. 🙁

      Thanks

    • @Nostradamus
      Yes i read it including your off colour comment about BJ`s. You must be a fan of BJ`s ha?Most people talk about things they do. Just be careful not all mouths are friendly, you might end up getting bitten or with a rotten tooth lodged into your precious stick.Lol

    • @Nostradamus
      Yes i read it including your off colour comment about BJ`s. You must be a fan of BJ`s ha?Most people talk about things they do. Just be careful not all mouths are friendly, you might end up getting bitten or with a loose tooth lodged into your precious stick.

    • HH as always dealing with real issues. You are doing a good job to remind these pathetic f00ls that you have not accepted defeat and you are going to launch a petition to test if the ECZ and indeed the judiciary are worth their existence.

      Electoral code of conduct is very clear but these pathetic f00ls dont understand it due their illiteracy as their former SG once said.

      Its common knowledge that , PF distributed mobile phones, food, money and built a phone mast during election. To make matters worse, Sata ‘s impersonator represented Sata the most stupid and useless president in Africa to campaign after the campaign period was closed. Unfortunately, PF was clobbered in Solwezi despite his appearance.

      Right now all PF minions are shaking in their pants because of HH and UPND.

    • Neither do we see democracy as an important road map in this PF governace. I may be criticized but the truth still stands. Chiwamina Galu kuluma Mbuzi.

    • @wanzelu

      It’s common knowledge and irrefutable that HH adopted a baby to encourage voters to vote for him in these last elections. Yeah? All we ask HH is to use the democratic process to effect his righteousness.

      HH never behaves presidential nor patriotic. I mean he is making a statement so far out of Police Observation and comment on how they found the elections. Police stated the elections were peaceful. Here comes HH, and contradicts them and well tries to get ECZ on his side. He has not provided ECZ any complaint for investigation, and yet he alleges electrol fraud! I mean a good leader us a good loser, HH needs to demonstrate leadership. You can’t contradict bodies that you hope to control.

    • All those disagreeing with HH are just a bunch of idoits. They think with their bellies and sh1t brains and carry faeces in their skulls.

      What was that ECZ guy caught in Solwezi trying to do to entice monitors to sign the results sheets before even elections started?

      Gift giving during elections is what the PF used to nullify all the opposition seats, and yet PF thugs dished out a lot of money, gifts including erecting a mobile phone mast just to buy votes.

      You talk of the police, they have completely been comprised and are completely toothless to stop PF braking the rules with impunity. PF thugs have hacked each other to death but upto now no one has arrested. Do you really think we still have credible police left in Zambia? Only PF f00ls still think the police is credible .

    • As always HH is absolutely right and he does not fear to state the truth. Look the recent results and you will notice that PF lost in urban areas but were able to manipulate rural voters by abusing government resources and threatening the few rural voters with missing out in development if they vote for the opposition. In 2016 you won’t have enough helicopters to go round all villages.

    • I believe we have an independent Electoral Commission in Zambia. What we dont have is independent minds. The “Bemba death” celebration which took place in Solwezi where the Tongas won showed us that Zambians are still living in the stone age. Let the Tongas in UPND begin to work with all Zambians. Let them stop campaigning on the basis of ending Bemba rule.There is no way Tongas or even Bembas can rule as tribes without involving other tribes.

    • For as long as Hakaivotela Heka doesn’t tell me and a lot of other Zambian’s what he plans to do for us, we will continue voting for the PF.

      It’s high time he started telling us what he intends to do differently from what the PF is currently doing, else he will continue being seeing as a waste of orur time.

  1. It is ok HH. It is ok. Lets move on to fertilizer issue, its almost rain season.
    Kabimba was the using ZAF helicopters, because he thought he was president when Ba Sata was sick. But was Kabimba was fired for same reason, and he will not come back to testify.

    • All Districts in Muchinga Province have been supplied with fertiliser for the coming season. PF is delivering where it matters.

  2. Concerted efforts must be exerted to get rid of this embarrassment people mistakenly voted into power. Zambia deserves a mature, responsible and professional govt. What we currently have is a sham govt.

  3. Hi UPND, I would urge you to persevere. It is difficult to compete with a party in power. With the behavior of there thugs in government, I doubt the just ended bye elections reflect the will of the people, Kapena, maybe, fili eko tuleya.keep trying. Edgar Lungu is a lawyer, he is using government aircraft freely for campaigns as if it is normal. Kaya

  4. In Bemba we say BATASHA I CHO WAMWENE. TULEMONA DEVELOPMENT. THE GOVERMENT IS WORKING. SURELY ALIYENSE AONA. BOONSE BALALANGA. MAFUMU AONA. CHALO CHIONA, SO KULIBE KUNAMIWA. CHALO CHACHINJA CHAWAMA, THI IS THE REASON TIWINA ELECTIONS. NOT VAPAKAMWA NANDEO. SURELY MUMENYA BANTU BAKULU BAMA NYUMBA YAO, DO YOU THINK MUNTU WANDEO BANGA MUKONDE BANTHU?

  5. Abena hichilema is it difficult to accept the defeat for how long are you and your party going to be frustrated you should quit before politics kill you coz come 2016 me and my family wil put our precious votes on PF,atleast we have seen development Zambia has never seen in many yrs,sorry !

  6. Hungry Hyena, you was saying the people of central province gave you your wife and that they was going to give you an MP. You was speaking their language during the rally now that you lost you start blaming the mighty PF! Just tell the people what you will do for them not telling them about them giving you your “beautiful” wife. Viva PF Viva King Cobra, come 2016 you still have my vote.

  7. OH WELCOME BACK MR HH. HAVE YOU NOW RECOVERED FROM THE SHOCK OF YOUR LOSES IN THE JUST ENDED FIVE BY ELECTIONS? MR HH WHEREVER PEOPLE LOVE YOU THEY VOTED FOR YOU eg IN SOLWEZI CENTRAL. AND WHERE THEY DISLIKE YOU, THEY DID THE NEEDFUL.
    THERE CAN ONLY BE HOPE FOR YOU IF YOU CONCEDE DEFEAT AND SAY THAT YOU WILL CARRY OUT A SERIOUS INTROSPECTION AND SEE WHY YOU LOST. BUT THIS IDEA OF BLAMING GOVERNMENT VEHICLES DOES NOT HOLD WATER. MMD LOST IN 2011 EVEN WHEN THEY USED GRZ VEHICLES TO CAMPAIGN. IN KASENENGWA MMD WON WITH A RESOUNDIG VICTORY EVEN WHEN PF USED GRZ VEHICLES TO CAMPAIGN THERE. THE RESULTS OF THE POLLS ARE JUST A REFLECTION OF HOW MUCH PEOPLE DISLIKE YOUR PARTY. PERIOD. IF YOU DONT LEARN ANYTHING FROM THIS DEFEAT THEN DO NOT BE SHOCKED IN 2016.

  8. All those issues Hakainde has raised are in relation to good governance another ingredient that is moving us backwards as Africans only second to effective leadership.
    So now Hakainde what are you going to do about? Why not combine forces with the MMD for good governance’s stake and have greater say in Parliament….this hollow noise will not take you ANYWHERE put your selfish and greedy reasons aside for once….JOIN FORCES WITH THE OPPOSITION then go your separate ways come 2016. At least by then you would have passed policies that will ensure a free and fair election …and at least arm the ECZ with greater powers.
    Wake up or else you will be singing the same tune come 2016!!

    • HH DEAR HAS NOT LOST ANYTHING INSTEAD IT IS MMD WHICH IS ALWAYS REDUCING ITS OWN MEMBERS IN PARLIAMENT. LOOK AT SOLWEZI CENTRAL VUBWI AND MUKUSHI ALL WHERE FOR MMD. GIVING OUT ZAMBEZI WEST IS NOT A LOSS BECAUSE PF IF WE GO INTO DETAILS WE WILL FIND THEM WITH A LOT OF ISSUES WHICH COULD EVEN LEAD TO NULLIFICATION.
      CONGRATULATION SISTERS ESPECIAL THE ONE WHO HAS PROMISED TO BUILD A BRIDGE ON ZAMBEZI RIVER WHEN THE KAZUNGULA BRIDGE IS LOBBIED BY THREE COUNTRIES IE, ZAMBIA, BOTSWANA AND NAMIBIA.
      WE ARE WAITING FOR THE SPEECH FROM OUR PRESIDOR ON 19TH THAN YOU GUYS MAKING NOISE ALWAYS.

    • Well said. This is good strategy. Instead of bellyaching in front of the country, show your strength as a major contender. Best man wins, next best man plans how to be top dog next time around. Based on the speech above, I would NOT vote for him. Ratchet up your positive side and let people see you as a winner ………for a change!

  9. The truth is most zambians have not accepted you my brother HH. Things are much beta in this govt for opposition than it was for sata. How many times do UPND appear on ZNBC?

    • Ask yourself, how many times did Sata appears on ZNBC during RB? Atleast ZNBC shows HH more frequently than they used to show Sata during RB’s tenure.

  10. all those monkeys insulting HH should stop hence forth..they are terrible people making Zambia get back to anti antediluvian days..where sin is let to go free in public..the way pf is flouting laws..useless cadres and dull..

  11. Hehehehehehehehe. UPND are you sure this is the best person to lead your party? If this political hack is the cream of the crop in UPND then you might as well just disband and do something more useful with yourselves.

    • He ain’t cream. Nalumango would bring it up in 2016, just the potential to have a woman President would get the ladies going!! I mean look how the girls in this election, just trounced the fellas! They need the spectacular, HH just will not turn it around. His personality!!! Big Zero, and has a need of aggressive presentation. He needs to woo the voters and be diplomatic with gov’t bodies.

  12. HH in mangango you said it was time for people to decide between you and Sata. People decided. Now you have been wired you say it is apathy. When you won in lambaland with the same voter turnout you didn’t complain. Stay real and write longer statements to explain why you lost and that is you were not strategic in your message

  13. Well spoken message congratulating the winners on both sides,by the end of the day the losers are ordinary citizens of Zambia,how much money has these by election costed on the expense of development?the people of Zambezi west,solwezi,Mk south,vubwi have waken up today worse than the day they casted their votes.the problem here is the current governance system which gives power to those elected rather than the electorates,some of u will say democracy is not cheap but,the richest nation on earth does not have by election of that nature.believe me or not even if upnd come to govern us ,the cry of electoral malpractices will not go away.it will really take a president who will not be power hungry,unselfish and who will championed the change of our governance system.

    • To make our country better and well respected.the winners in this by election are the teams involved in organizations,today they are richer than they were before September 11.pf strategically rig Zambezi west and vubwi so that it claim its self as not a tribal party,the intensions are good because it tunes down the tribal tag but at the same time its a risk mission.i doubt it even if the new constitution is given to zedians,it will be hard for pf to adhere to the new ,complex new law.new wine can’t be put in old wine skin,it will turn sour.

  14. HH, I am behind you and will give you my vote come 2016. I will travel to Zambia to register myself next year and come 2016 I will be in Zambia a week before voting…. Haleisa Haleisa. At least my vote will make a different.

    • HH you shouldn’t give up or rather we all who believe in your intellectual and vision will never give up. Zambia has a vast number of natural resources which can bring us tremendous wealth as a nation if only people could see beyond tribe and lies. Those breaking electoral rules with impunity will suffer the wrath of God. For those who don’t believe in God, the wrath of nature will ensure justice is brought forth…. in one way or another.

  15. I find HHs sentiments a bit foolish and ill timed. He is indeed a bad loser who should be thrown in the gutter. He makes a statement such as ” I wish to urge all our members and genuine Zambians”. Who is a geniune Zambian by that definition? Him and all those that support his cause? I guess he has lost it. All who hold a National Registration card of Zambia and those born in Zambia and are under the age of 16 and have not renounced there citizeniship are Zambians. Like it or not that is a fact. So stop being cheap Mr HH.

  16. HH should just concede defeat and move on. I wonder why he did not use his chopper for campaigns instead of crying foul over ministers using helicopters .

    • PF should not cerebrate its ill stolen votes form villagers.Money and vote buying will not save them in 2016.HH you should not lose hope just like it happened to Sata ,Chiluba,Mwanawasa and Mazoka had to die to allow Sata to rule.If all these pipo I mentioned were alive the illiterate Sata would have not seen the in side of state house.Sata shall die when we list expect before 2016.God will hand you power easly.What you will do with that power is what will matter.Me I know HH shall Zambian President .

    • @ sido mark, are you insinuating that HH can only scoop the presidency if Sata dies ? Please don’t involve God in Your evil schemes .Be strong and move on. I wonder how you are going to take HH’s defeat in 2016 because it is very clear that he will lose for a 4th consecutive time .

  17. Ubu ubupuba bwa ba hh bwachifwalilwa kanshi. Kaya tawakwata umuti waba nga Egeshi. We will just be watching till you plunge this country into chaos due to your un ending envy and love for power. Some of us we look for selfless leaders not uyu hh.

  18. I am trying to make sense of HH’s statement. If the PF broke electoral rules with impunity by using government resources and District Commissioners, why then did they lose by such an embarrassingly large margin in Kasenengwa and why didn’t they defeat the UPND in Solwezi Central?

  19. HH has congratulated winners in MMD, PF and UPND in the just ended by-elections. That defines men and women who believe in democracy. We hope PF will not petition where they have lost for that has been the pre occupation of this failed regime when poverty is all over Zambia. Those who feed on PF will not agree that there is poverty in Zambia. Campaigning after dead line date by Sata and use of civil servants and government facilities will not do in 2016 general elections. Zambians have decided to change as they did with UNIP, MMD and short lived PF. Change is a must in 2016.

  20. It’s painful to be beaten with your pants down. Accepting the defeat graciously will profoundly heal the pain. HH it will take many years to realise elections are part of the political component and taking part in them is exercising your tights. If HH had any grain of truth that PF will rig the elections using any form then it was high time he would have raised this concerns. Kakoma lost not because of corruption but lack of bringing the needed development to the people. UPND had hoped this is their stronghold and they will win but people change. So crying over spilled milk will not help.

  21. HH; suffering unbearable and excruciating pain due to the loss, especially the Zambezi west seat. Just the taste of things to come, come 2016, bwana!

  22. Iwe chiHechiHechi, how come the ZAF paraphernalia did not work in Solwezi Central & kumaRodent eaters? Just accept & cower away out of shame. Yes, your party made considerable improvement in this election. At the rate of -0. Sore loser!!

  23. Keep on whining. By the time you stop, you will have no MP’s. Learn to accept defeat without finding excuses all the time. If I were you, I would start thinking of combining forces with the MMD and other parties. Otherwise, you are doomed and headed for self destruction.

  24. UPND Loss of its Zambezi – West seat to PF has really hit them so hard that up to now they can’t come to terms with it. PF managed to grab this seat much more easily than Mangango as the PF candidate beat her closest rival by over 2,400 votes unlike Mangango where the margin was about 700 votes. UPND must accept that Zambezi – West is no longer their stronghold and prepare themselves for a humiliating defeat in 2016,

    • @Evance,
      Sata is not going to stand and confussion will dust the PF hooligans and no one will accept Kambwili or Muzungu bele. Atleast UPND, MMD and FDD has there own presidential candidates. Mukaiponona mwekamweka and you shall remember Winter Kabimba ati ngepwali we would have divided and gone to his side. Wait and see ubukopo bwenu ba PUFUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • There is nothing to worry about the Zambezi west seat. This loss could be attributed to an unpopular candidate who has overstayed. The Angolan refugees also contributed to the loss. Winning Solwrzi central is a bigger consolation than losing a small rural constituent.

    • Solwezi and Kasenengwa are urban or preurban areas and it is not easy to cheat heavily populated enlightened populations. Mukushi South is another area where the three major parties evened out on vote distribution because most of the people there are commercial farmers. PF should just do a reality check and stop celebrating hollow victory.

  25. BA ichilema wen you lose always you say the elections were rigged the truth is you are the biggest liability UPND has.your political dimension are very narrow just accept it you are good politician. Your party with you front is dead you
    Had a chance wen pf had infightings you should have gained popularity you used tribe to rule yo party now it’s working against you Zambia is big for one tribe.

  26. Ba underfive HH when you are unpopular then you are unpopular you are simply not liked. Zambia removed the most corrupt govt from office in 2011 because he is popular and liked. If you are popular as you claum your popularity would overwhelm the alleged electrol breaches by PF. Just accept that you are an underfive who has destroyed the once vibrant UPND. You must resign. Hahahaha. Muzakaula

  27. UPND must review its performance in last weeks elections and strategise for future elections. It is clear that since 2011 elections, UPND has not made any serious inroads in eastern province. UPND got 2 % of total votes in Kasenengwa and about 14 % in Vubwi constituencies .UPND can’t win a national election with this level of popularity in eastern province.

  28. HH is not lying, the ‘corrupt’ PF government deliberately forgot to declare the 3 areas as no-fly zones so ZAF were everywhere. The ZCTU’s call too to civil servants to down tools was not heeded during campaigns! Ha! Ha!

  29. Yayaya..what a cry baby, no wonder they call HH under five..only solution resign madala let someone who is mature in thinking takeover your tribal party.

  30. You lost HH, because you did not make good use of President Sata’s period away. Instead of campaigning on issues, you concentrated on Schadenfreude. (German : pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others).

    Nothing good comes out of viscous behaviour. You and your supporters lost a lot if ground with all that death stuff.

    • Oh, now president Sata can have a Schadenfreude Party of his own!! Celebrating your failure to hold on to even the longest seat you had, er …..hold on there is more……..celebrate Christabel Ngimbu wiping your backsides in court, having demonstrated how to complain to ECZ;……..AND going on to win!! You got troubles man!

  31. WHAT ARE ALL THESE PF MINIONS CELEBRATING ABOUT? I DONT UNDERSTAND ALL THESE YAPPING ABOUT HH.HH HAS LOST NOTHING .. THE REAL LOSERS ARE MMD.BUT FOR PF MINIONS THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT MMD BECOS THEY KNOW THAT MMD IS DEAD,IT IS UPND AND HH THEY ARE AFRAID OF. ATI HH IS A LIABILITY,,WHAT NONSENSE,,,THE TRUTH IS THAT PF IS SCARED OF HH ALL THEY DO IS TRY TO TEAR HIM DONE. I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU PF ILLITERATES ,YOU CAN CONTINUE ABUSING GOVT RESOURCES AND FLOUT ELECTORAL LAWS BUT WHETHER WE LOSE OR NOT WE HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF DROPPING HH FOR ANY REASONS. YOU ARE A RULING PARTY AND WITH MASSIVE RESOURCES AT YOUR DESPOSAL YOU DONT NEED TO CELEBRATE AS IF YOU HAVE BEATEN UPND N HH IN A GENERAL ELECTIONS. HH REALLY THREATENS YOU GUYS,, NO DAY PASSES WITHOUT MENTIONING HIS NAME…PATHETIC FLS

    • Look, no one has a bad word for MMD, they are good losers………and managed to hold on to their oldest seat, unlike HH and Zambezi West!!

  32. @PATRIOT ABROAD
    YOU PF MINIONS NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME…SO BECAUSE HAS LOST A SEAT IN A BY-ELECTION HE SHUD SIMPLY SHUT HIS MOUTH..OTHERWISE HE IS A BAD LOSER? IN YOUR WORLD LOSERS HAVE NO RIGHTS TO SAY ANYTHING, THEY SHUD JUST KEEP QUIET.YOU THINK YOU ARE RULED BY SATA..WHEN IT IS GEORGE CHELLA…THIS COUNTRY IS SIMPLY RULED BY CHELLA,,,WHY SHUD A WORTHY PRESIDENT ALWAYS ISSUE STATEMENTS THRU AN IMMATURE AND EMOTIONAL BOY LIKE CHELLA..SATA CANNOT FACE THE MEDIA AND EXPLAIN THE ECONOMICS OF THIS COUNTRY, IT HAS TO BE DONE BY SOMEONE ELSE….WHERE IS YOUR PRIDE AS A PARTY? ZERO. AND YOU ARE BUSY INSULTING HH FOR TRYING SO HARD TO TEACH YOU PF MINIONS SOMETHING DECENT.

  33. PF and Sata are using voodoo,chitenges and cheap ubunga to bribe these illiterate rural voters to betray their nation.I don’t see how rational people could vote for a thuggish party & govt that is doing absolutely zero to advance zambia.

  34. WE WANT A TALKING SATA NOT A DUMP SATA. WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR HIM THIS COMING THURSDAY AND SEE HIM PHYSICALLY TALKING TO THE PARLIAMENTARIANS AS HE APPOINT HIS MPS INTO OFFICE AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE ZAMBIA.

  35. Thats HH for u Zambians!this man is a bad loser and oftenly annoys many voters.HH never gains popularity in many provinces other than southern bcoz he is hated by many Zambians.he opposes anything PF do.his hatred for PF has destroyed him and his party!PF is doing a lot to develop our country.HH has no chance in 2016.it will be any easy win for PF!

  36. (CNN) — Ugandan forces arrested several terror suspects and recovered explosives in an operation to foil an “imminent” terrorist attack on the city of Kampala, the country’s police said Saturday.Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy warned Americans there to stay indoors. The country’s security forces have ratcheted up security in all public places, vowing to “effectively defeat whoever tried to endanger the lives and property of the people of Uganda,” according to a police press statement.

  37. The foiled terror plot was by the Somalia-based militant group Al-Shabaab, the U.S. Embassy in Kampala said; it did not specify the targets. However, local police said that based on the type of explosives seized, they saw this attack plot as a possible repeat of last September’s attack on Nairobi’s Westgate Mall and were particularly concerned about crowded areas.Security forces were still searching for more suspects and and have declined to release the identities or number of suspects arrested, but said they were of various nationalities

  38. .Earlier this month, a U.S. airstrike killed Ahmed Godane, the terror group’s leader in Somalia. The group has since installed a new leader and vowed to avenge Godane’s death.”We are continuing our engagement with Ugandan authorities as we seek to assess the scope of the disrupted Al-Shabaab terrorist plot and whether there are members of the cell still at large,” the embassy said.Ugandan troops are part of African Union forces battling the Somalia-based militants whose attacks have crossed into Uganda before.Last year, unidentified gunmen attacked the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi, resulting in the deaths of 67 people, including four of the attackers. In 2010, the militants conducted suicide bombings in bars filled with patrons watching soccer in Kampala, killing more than 70…

  39. U.S. officials have issued warnings to its citizens in Uganda before. In July, it asked travelers to avoid Entebbe International Airport near Kampala. The embassy cited a “specific threat” involving an unknown terrorist group. Information on the threat came from Ugandan police, it said.Ugandan authorities have increased security at key sites, including the Entebbe airport, the embassy said Saturday. Entebbe is the only international airport in the nation

  40. Truly so Mr Hichilema, the PF victories are FAKE!

    Abuse of resources, facilities, personnel, radio and TV airtime. Very unfair. We need even playing-fields!

    But, what is the Oppposition doing about it? The Opposition must not be cry-babies. They must act to stop the PF rot. They must go to Court. They should seek judiciary reviews and test the Law! Ministers using jets, helicopitors, motor vehicles and all other underhand methods and nonsense, and the Opposition is watching helplessly. My foot!

  41. HH talk about your plans for this country and not worst your time looking at your friends mistake. It is us the voters to do that. As long as you continue doing that you will never win the elections no wonder Elias Chipimo is becoming popular by day. You are more of the negative e.g Presidents health, using gvt resources, constitution etc please let us implore politics in USA where people just talk about new plans for the country.

    Regards

  42. Bt bwana h.h why is dat ur performance keeps on goin down? Shud I put it to u that maybe u jus not man enough to challenge the mighty sata? Maybe u should jus accept the fact that hemcs is a better leader

  43. Batila Changa aseka uwacelwa.Wasensela elyo akasuba kawa.Kapoli alilile umwando ninshi walaputuka.
    Bonse tatwishibe efyo Lesa atupekanishisheko kunshiku shakuntanshi.
    We should just keep faith in GOD the creator.
