PF has a poor track record – Hakainde Hichilema

I have noted with interest Hon Lungu’s stated commitment to deliver the new constitution in his New Year’s message. The PF government took 1126 days to deliver a draft to the Zambian people, after promising to pass it in 90 days. They also backed out of their promise to take it to referendum.

We are 100% committed to delivering the constitution and have signed a Social Contract with the Grand Coalition back in November which confirms in writing it will be delivered if I am elected President on 20 January 2015. This is now a non-negotiable campaign commitment for us.

I challenge Hon Lungu to sign the social contract with civil society. Given concerns about governance under the PF, Hon Lungu also needs to make clear what he would do on other important matters. When it comes to governance they have had a very poor track record:

  1. No new constitution
  2. A huge number of ministers and deputy ministers on the public pay roll,
  3. Failure to repeal the NGO Act,
  4. Failure to communicate with the Zambian public,
  5. Routine abuse of the Public Order Act,
  6. Undue interference in questions of traditional leadership.

In addition to delivering the new constitution we have committed to forming a representative government with ministers from every province, slimming down government, repealing the NGO Act, regular communication from State House and the President to the Zambian people, revisiting the Public Order Act, and an end to government interference in matters of traditional leadership.

    • We Zambians have a poor memory I’m sure we have already forgotten the nonsense under Sata’s PF rule- the endless swearing in ceremonies,the endless loans that have plundered us in debt.Why else would anyone be saying viva EL….the guy was a lousy lawyer,how will he make a good president? Ever heard him talk and articulate issues?

    • There is no need to worry about that, HH will lose. This is why;
      Luapula, Northern, Eastern, Copperbelt, Lusaka and a hard fought Central Province!

    • Ex-moma, It is not that Zambians have sort memories rather, this is a fear of what lurks behind HH and his UPND. Even before they get into government, they are arguing with and issuing ultimatums to the military. There are hundreds of million of US$ in unfunded campaign promises. To cap it all, there is the vanishing ink in voting cards, Mazda ALH 393 and the white minibus heading to Southern Province (not sure if it has arrived yet) – how much more nonsense can we listen to?

    • Just the other day he promised to finish the two universities today flipflop says PF has poor record .smh.

      IFINTU NI LUNGU

      say no to satanism

    • I have two questions. How can someone who stole a client’s money be allowed to contest for presidency? He had hes license revoked not until he intimidated those who revoked his license because he was now a minister of justice. How can Zambians think of ushering another sick candidate on that seat? The man is sick even just by looks.

    • @Man please tell me you are more intelligent than you are sounding right now. How many times has PF accused UPND of murdering people and it turned out to be a PF cadre that murdered his fellow PF member.Tell me you haven’t forgetten the violence under PF? So UPNd is justified in its fears.In mathematical statistics the likelihood of having a van carrying PF panga wielding cadres is higher than the likelihood that UPND is bluffing. Edgar Lungu is a failed Lawyer ask those people he worked with him.HH on the other hand is a successful business man.Is he perfect no but Zambia doesn’t need rhetoric it needs people with good business management analytical skills to move Zambia out of this disgusting third world status.

    • His right and the truth hates for some. We need to get back to a proper civilised government and that will move the country forward. The last three years have been a horrible experiment. Its just a shame that even the PF die hard supporters will not admit to their short-comings. They have been blinded by nationalism for the sake of it and fail to see that the country they purport to love so much is sinking into the abyss of high debts, high Unemployment, bad governance, lack of leadership and a clear vision to develop the country.

    • ex-moma, I like to believe that I am intelligent and that I am fair. Probability is not equal to reality or mathematical certainity. EL might be a failed lawyer and he might not be as rich as Mr HH, but I have never heard him alarm the nation or make wild claims, promises or accusations. Just saying!

    • I was chatting with a Kenya friend about Ruto`s visit to Zambia, he looked at me and said, this is your second bye election you guys, I you don`t make another mistake of electing a sick President. I felt so embarrassed.

    • It will only be after the elections results that any sound mind will tell how a simple man’s mind living in abject poverty thinks,because no sane man or woman can be forced to reason before casting a ballot given the situation at hand.As it is not a matter of debate anymore on whose future one might be trying to toy with.Giving yourself time to analize who the best candidate is NOW,gets to be more paramount than siding with any political party just for the sake of it.Let’s wake up and be alive to the fact that destiny can lie in our hands.Let’s think before we vote.We can still have a better Zambia. happy new year all.

    • VOTERS DON’T EVEN TRY TO PUT HH IN PLOT 1. HE HAS A VERY BAD AND DARK CORNER WEALTH RECORD. MORE THAN 200 PROMISES EVEN WITHIN 3 TERMS OFFICE OCCUPANCY IS A FALLACY. HH IS LYING AND HE KNOWS THAT HE IS LYING.

    • HH is a white collar criminal. As for Hon Edgar Lungu, the moment he was appointed Minister of Justice he released the draft constitution. There was a talk of bringing it to parliament with a bill to pass but it is UPND party that started talking bad about it. They want to rush it without referendum and so on.HH has been a cunning hyena, always wants credit while never cooperating for passing constitution. In 2011 he was the one who walked away from parliament (through his kaponya MPs). Learn to give credit where it is due. If HH loves blame game, let him blame Kabimba and GBM for the mess, who are now tacitly supporting him. HH is being used by Illuminati. He is the weakest person to be next president. He does not have numbers to pass constitution, budget, repeal POA ACT, NGO Act etc.

    • I BELIEVE THESE QUESTIONS WHERE PREPARED FOR MR SATA, NOW THAT HE IS NO MORE, MR HH IS ASKING A WRONG PERSON TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. EL WAS NOT PRESIDENT UNDER PF, HE IS TRYING TO BE NOW. SO ASK HIM SUCH IN 2016 PROVIDED HE WINS ON JAN 20.

    • Zambian Illuminati (for a layman it is a Cartel or Clique) wants HH to fail miserably so that come 2016 Rainbow takes over. But we the People of Zambia will not allow a stooge to be used for keeping the marginalised in the pit forever. Time is now to teach the Illuminati a lessor. Those who stole through ZPA manipulation (Sun Hotel Group, Mines, RAMCOZ, UBZ) , liquidation (LIMA Bank- workers unpaid while HH got the House for a song along with over 2 million liquidation fee- is that professionalism, ethical and fair? His Kaponya call it ingenuity, it is shamless satanic act), receivership (RAMCOZ- Musonda the man sentenced for Zamtrop account, the mastrermind is vying for presidency, mines suppliers unpaid while through HH made over 4 million. Ask Mulenga and Kalaluka). No more. No more.

    • What a POOR FINISH by PF! Their lies have all expired. And for that, they have duly earned themselves a magnificent “POOR” “F” grade. Zambians will have none of their DONCHI KUBEBA anymore. Their POCKETS FULL (PF), they have taken us all for a ride.

    • To cut the story short, HH is a slimy Hyena, stole through manipulation, maneuvered through politicians. When faced with real challenge in UPND used Tribal Card and now pretends to be a friend of the workers? He wants to get into statehouse and then use his cunning dictatorial ego and bring miseries to the marginalised. He is an elitist and the days of elitists are gone. He shall tell the nation, how much he pays to his farm workers? How many title deeds he has given to his farm workers (it is easy for him to announce that he will give title deeds to miners if he becomes president of Zambia). Charity begins at home. Just answer two questions- Minimum wage he is paying and how many title deeds he has given to his farm workers.

    • I guarantee that HH will win Lusaka province and win the by-elections. This is how HH will win the elections and become Zambia’s sixth President and Zambia’s best President ever!!!

      1. Win Lusaka 50% to Lungu’s 40% Others 10%
      2. Win NW 60% to Lungu’s 25% Others 15%
      3. Win Southern 70% to Lungu’s 15% others 15%
      4. Win Western 60% to Lungu’s 30% others 10%
      5. Win Central 45% to Lungu’s 35% others 20%
      6. CB Lungu 45% HH 35% Mumba 10% others 10%
      7. Nothern/Mcnga Lungu 40% Mumba 30% HH 20% Nawakwi 10%
      8. Luapula Lungu 40% HH 30% Mumba 20% Nawakwi 10%
      9. Eastern Lungu 55% HH 35% Others 10%

      Total HH 45% Lungu 38% Mumba 10% Others 7%

      Zonda Uzalema.

    • @The Bricklayer- DO not be delluded. Look, that is the problem with you Tongas, you want to enjoy tribal support and expect other tribes to rally behind you. Facts are that HH will not win Lusaka, that is far- fetched. Southern Province will overwhelmingly vote for HH, we agree, you must know that Eastern Province will respond accordingly. HH will perform dismally in Copperbelt, Northern, Luapula provinces. The only province that will be hard- fought for is Central Province. Edgar Lungu is likely to win the elections.

    • @ ex moma… yeah you are absolutely correct. Unfortunately this is Sub-Saharan Africa and the issue is perhaps more an IQ thing. Surely in other progressive countries, PF wouldn’t have been a factor in this by-election given their poor track record – in fact Hichilema only listed few (don’t know why).

      By the way why is HH saying his govt will only ‘revisit’ the Public Order Act? Why not completely repeal this archaic law?

    • Ba Lusaka Times

      You take down my messages containing videos, but you turn around and use the same videos in your articles.

      It is like this little saying I remember from grade school:

      “The hare is an imitator, he sh!tted on my fathers cleared patch. Father also is an imitator, he cleared a patch where the hare had sh!tted.”

      Gotta love you guys!

    • @ Dark black Slave or Lord (I dont care), Put your tribalism aside for a minute and be realistic. Take an opinion poll on the copperbelt and Lusaka and see for yourself what I am telling you. Actually I have factored my calculations with a generous calculation error. HH may actually win copperbelt and then it will really be over. Lungu cannot, I repeat CANNOT beat HH by more than 10 percent on the copperbelt and that is exactly the coussion he needs to overcome HH’s overwhelming margins in his strong holds. This election will be about margins and not necessarily who wins the most number of provinces. Do you not know that there is actually a path to victory where HH can lose CB and LK and still win the election. Think you Kaponya Think…. you Kalyabunga!!!

  1. Under 5 HH first try to be a councillor then MP in your tonga land before you dream of being zambian president!we’re waiting to defeat you on 20/01/2015!prepare yourself for a rude shock!EDGAR LUNGU IS WINMING NO MATTER WHAT YOU SIR!PF HAS PERFORMED VERY WELL IN 3YEARS!GO PF GO!

    • Besides why would HH want to continue with the PF infrastructural pojects if they are part of the PF poor track record? Anyway, HH has a rich track record of liquidating Zambian parastatals for a song and sending Zambian employees to their early graves. He also has a rich track record of benefitting himself from the sale of parastatals. In addition, does he not even live in a former Lima Bank House in Kabulonga that was part of his rich track record of disposing off state assets?

    • @Eddy please go finish grade 6 before you try to offer political analysis that is clearly way above your head! I’m sick and tired of Zambian illiteracy and ignorance that is being manifested on online media.

    • @ex moma

      You are absolutely right about the worrying levels of illiteracy in Zambia. Thats why HH wants to make his priority that anyone whos is academically able should not be hindered from getting education because of lack of money.

      HH will solve this illiteracy level once and for all.

    • @2.1 James, this is what I have been saying and late Baldwin also talked about this. English is bad, so what? Are you saying that only those who went to English Schools or studied in private schools or went to London shall rule Zambians? Rich man’s son shall takeover the reigns one after the other? NO more. English does not have monopoly over wisdom. English is not the criteria who to vote and who to be respected. It is time for the commoner to rule and commoner to decide the destiny of Zambia. It is payback time for the elite and their hired “good at gab hired guns”

    • Come 23rd January I along with my family from Matero is walking in T-shirts of our new President EL. It is lelelo time.

    • Guy Scott is the future; black people cannot run a country; give us your companies; we shall hire u; pay u peanuts and make a killing of a profit when exporting minerals

  2. Well spoken in-coming president. These *****s are the biggest mistake we ever made as a country in 2011. Thank God Sata died with PF and now hoping for a new vision under UPND.

  3. HH is the only credible leader who understands the economic terms like:
    gross domestic product(GDp), terms of trade, foreign exchange mechanisms etc
    Try me ask Lungu what they mean…… he will fail miserably
    thats why he chickened out from the debates…..

    Go HH aleisa 2015

    • He is not a credible Economic manager in my opinion. You need to understand that the role of the president is not to understand every term and know everything. There are people who have achieved more in business; with less of an institutional leg up than this man.

    • MAN

      Those people knew who knew what they did not know.
      In other words, the mark of a good leader is the ability to surround oneself with skilled minds. Recognizing such minds requires that you understand their language.

      In her state, Zambia needs some one fluent in the language of economics; can tell a genuine article from the useless.

      The vision EL is promising to continue on, was devoid of competence. I think EL has realized that Sata was surrounded by useless people, hence the desire to change. Unfortunately, Sata did not spare him when he said his ministers were useless!

      Sata himself was a lamentably failed experiment. We would be deluding ourselves to think that results of that experiment can salvage themselves.

  4. The accompanying video is unrelated but very frightening. Looks like the Panga Family are a stubborn bunch to get rid of. Only the ballot will do the trick come 20th January.

    • What about the Matizyopa formula? PF is non violent and to tell the truth this is not an issue to voters. It’s UPND with their silly formula that have killed just for a losing vote, remember in North Western Province bye-election?
      We don’t forget!

      Viva EDGAR Lungu, viva Sampa, Abash Masebo, GBM.

  5. Nobody can deny that you HH is likely to come out first in Southern,North western and even western!THEN EDGAR LUNGI WILL COME OUT FIRST IN EASTERN,LUSAKA,COPPERBELT,LUAPULA,NORTHERN,MUCHINGA AND MAYBE CENTRAL!SO HOW CAN HH WIN?AM PRETTY SURE THAT EDGAR LUNGU IS THE 6TH PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA!GO PF GO

    • Asryt Eddy they must tell us how HH will win becoz he needs votes of those they call *****s,drunks,fools,dunderheads, the list of names is endless.

      VIVA EL VIVA PF

    • This is how HH will win the elections and become Zambia’s sixth President and Zambia’s best President ever!!!

      1. Win Lusaka 50% to Lungu’s 40% Others 10%
      2. Win NW 60% to Lungu’s 25% Others 15%
      3. Win Southern 70% to Lungu’s 15% others 15%
      4. Win Western 60% to Lungu’s 30% others 10%
      5. Win Central 45% to Lungu’s 35% others 20%

      Zonda Uzalema.

    • This is what is on the ground, and don’t know all of a sudden how UPND can dream of defeating the Mighty PF, JUST HOW IS THE QUESTION.

      Ifintu ni EDGAR LUNGU

  6. “Given concerns about governance under the PF, Hon Lungu also needs to make clear what he would do on other important matters.”

    1. Um. Continue in the vision of the dead…

    2. Emerging Dictators generally do not disclose their plans

    3. He’ll be too busy paying back benefactors

    4. As little as possible

    I like your thought process though but ED is too busy with his “Let them eat cake” campaign. Marie Antoinette might appear during his next seance and remind him it is never a good idea to show a hungry, impoverished electorate, images of cake and candy consumption, complete with dancing kids cutting green embryo shaped countries.

    Cue the red.

    Chuckle.

  7. Ati ONLY 23 babies were born in Lusaka at Xmas? Iyeee, this is a disaster mwebabtu. Zambia is such a beautiful and huge country endowed with so much massive wealth. We have Copper, Gold, Emeralds, Cobalt, Coal and even Oil to mention but a few yet, the whole country is ’empty’ with no people at all. Everyone and everybody is in town or near the line of rail/road leaving the bush only for wild animals.

    Zambian MUST stock up. We must stop “binge drinking” utujirijiri so that tufyale abana. My fear is if this trend continues and goes unchecked, we shall lose the whole country to foreigners, mark my words….

  8. UPND are very consistent look at these things below:

    UPND has remained a regional party.

    UPND are consistent in insulting all those who have different views to theirs.

    UPND are very consistent at making wild allegations and making careless statements without proof.

    UPND have continued to wish other people ill health and even worse death.

    UPND are also consistent with only a Tonga chap can be president.

    UPND are also consistent with the fact that they have never gone to a convention since HH became president.

    UPND are consistent with losing Presidential Elections.

    UPND as a party have remained an under 5s party.

    HH supporters are these lies.? Tell me why I should vote for HH when am non Tonga and yet HH is guaranteed 90% votes in Tongaland.?

    Viva EL Viva PF

  9. Your constitution roadmap is defective sir; you do not need to hold a referendum – the new constitution just needs to be adopted. Who is campaigning against the new constitution for it to require a referendum? What are the exact questions to be posed? On the question of NGO Act, why should it be repealed? Why not use parliament to amend aspects that are problematic? On another note, is it true that the constitution will be printed in vanishing ink so that people can only see what they want to see? Where is the Mazda reg ALH 393! Has the white minibus arrived in Southern Province yet?

  10. Ama promises yenu ba HH yalatulwalika nomba. katwishi nalileka nokupenda apa, tumone yafikile 300 ehe kwati nayachilapo. Bushe kwena nangu tawaya ku school, ubu bufi bwena bwachila

    • Why is Vodka to debate with HH. Is he fearing to be asked how he is going to manage public resources if he could steal a poor clients money.This is stealing from citizens. At times i wonder how Zambians think. A well known and documented thieving lawyer who had his license suspended by a professional body LAZ can present himself for election and you are there praising him. Don’t we see something wrong with stealing? Im not accusing vodka Lungu that he is a thief. It is in public domain.Not my vote for thieves. Alcoholism is a serious problem which needs rehabilitation. 15 Million Zambians want to let their coutry be led by a drunk? How many homes have broken =down in Zambia because of alcoholism? How many GBV cases as a result of alcoholism. ZAMBIANS ONCE AGAIN DO NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG.

    • Ba John Westwood – are you the client whose money was chewed? Why hasn’t the client come out to tell us that ECL did this despicable thing and therefore is of questionable credibility?

    • If he stole why has it taken so many years to prosecute him?You have the evidence madam.Go forward and present it to the police.
      Don’t just yap without understanding issues,those are comboni politics.Behind EL is a cartel of thieves,robbers and mafia.You will regret,watch space.

  11. I now concur with those who say Edgar Lungu is UPND’s worst nightmare. The leaders are like rabbits stunned by headlamps while most of the supporters are running around like scared little rabbits.

  12. Mr President, you have made very important points. Especially, a normal leader communicates with his people. I fail to understand how 10 million+ Zambians accepted to be led by the whims of one person. What happens if the President is going senile or even mad, we let him set the country on fire? How do you hold the President accountable? Was Sata more intelligent than 10 million Zambians? Even Obama, the most powerful President on earth, briefs his citizens on the state of the nation every week. Even here in Zambia presidents have always been accountable to the people, even under the dictatorship of KK in one party state.
    Three years not one press conference to allow Zambians ask questions to their own president? PF you are a shame, if Edgar wins please change that stupid attitude.

  13. I salute you son of the soil, son of my motherland, son of Africa. U mean very well for our country. U are genuinely concerned with the state of our economy. U are the rite man for the job. The rest are counterfeits. They will take Zambia nowhere. Under PF, Zambia has been in reverse gear. They talk about roads but they do not talk about over USD4billion loan in just 3 yrs. Mthly repayment will be over USD120,000,000 for a long period of time! Y surely did they do this? If PF is let to continue, the economy will crash. The Kwacha will crash. By the way, exchange rate at 31/12/11 was K4.928 to USD1.00. As at 31/12/14, it was K6.45 to USD1.00. This represents 30.9% depreciation in the value of Kwacha in just 3 yrs. If PF continues, we are in “maningi” trouble.

  14. Poor record of PF in other areas as follows: 1.failure to depoliticize the civil service. I have just read of a civil servant at the level of Chief Planner resisting to be transferred to North Western from Cabinet Office. This is an officer who was brought to cabinet after 2011. 2. Poor economic performance with many programmes in govt not funded on top of the budget deficit. 3. Criminal Activities, PF live and eat crime. Any peace loving Zambian must demonstrate it by voting out PF. In conclusion VOTE WISELY means vote for HH

  15. haha ask HH where he gonna get money for free education within 18 months when the budget is already past?he should know that it may happen in future when we buid more power station in zambia.investors can’t invest coz of power shortage.PF has started buiding more power stations.So HH should tell us coz he can’t even talk about windfall tax anymore coz is being funded by agro american and boers who ran away when mwanawasa won.it had to take mwanawasa to find chinese investors to come 2 zambia.HH has again invited Angro america to milk us.when u tell them to pay tax they pull out.we don’t need such a leader who sold mines .Plus that he is a tribal leader thinking bembas block himto rule zambia.Really we can’t vote 4 such a leader otherwise it’ll be chaose ku state house.Tribalism will…

  16. No HH, PF has quite an impressive track record for 3 years in office. The infrustructure development we are seeing is long overdue. What HH is not telling you is that there are only two ways to raise government finance; Taxes or borrowing. HH is likely to borrow more to finance his projects or has to raise your taxes. Read the lines. Which party upped the tax free band from K1,000 to K3,000? PF, which party protected the maids and garden boys from exploitation and raised the minimum wage? PF. Which party has gone to war with the mining companies that escape paying taxes and goes around bragging about net profits in India? PF.
    Look, the truth is this, HH wants to benefit from not having any track record. But this is the fact, Edgar Lungu is likely to win this election.

    • the infrastructure yo are referring to is all but due to borrowed money. You will soon realize the true damage credit can do to nation, especially if Lungu takes the day, which is unlikely.

    • @ 22 Lord Voldemort (The Dark Lord)

      Impressive PF track record? I concur – breeding an Ebola like tribal viral, the worst ever in the history of tribalism in Zambia. That is epochal, I must admit. Then there is all that non-ending feud and drama of in-fighting among its senior ministers. Who wouldn’t loathe that?

      And lastly, those panga wielding PF cadres – never tired of attacking and killing people around Lusaka, Livingstone, etc. Yes, that is an impressive track record by the PF. Any non-thinking and poorly self-respecting Zambian will definitely want to vote them back in office. Their dark track record is phenomenal, I agree.

  17. In terms of intelligence and presidential material Nevers scores 9.5 out of 10, chipimo 5.6, nawaki. 5.5 , HH 3.0, Edgar 3.2 andmiyanda 3.7

  18. The Man of God TB Joshua has prophesied that come january 20 2015 the ruling part in Zambia will win elections, so ba Muvi and all you fake opinion poll chaps what are you saying?
    HH sorry that white bus is it yet in Choma with Cornelius to inflict poison on ECL, this time tamwaimone bwino, first it was Mazoka then finally Sata, let’s not forget from two years back a Tonga group from monze was boosting of poisoning Bembas

  19. PF brags of road infrastructure. This really shocks me. Anyone Govt that is reckless in borrowing could have put up similar infrastructure. MMD under RB wud hav done so if they wanted. But they kud not do so as they fully understood consequences of borrowing. They did not want to put the Zambian pipo under a yoke for many yrs to come. Wat is the point of driving on gud roads when u have no medicine in hospitals, wen u can not afford to buy even ARVs 4 yo pipo, wen u can not afford to pay yo farmers, suppliers to govt agencies & ministries! Reasoning of PF is shameful, is dangerous, is injurious, is retrogressive. Let us liberate ourselves by voting PF out. God, please forgive me for voting PF in 2011. Forgive those who still believe in PF 4 they don’t kno wat they are doing. AMEN.

    • But your miracle worker has said that he will continue with the same infrastructure programmes while also inceasing wages, paying farmers more for their produce, subsidising the cost of cornmeal, subsidising cost of electricity, providing universal education, giving free medicines, building more hospitals and employing more civil servants. All this while the budget for this year has already been passed! How is he going to do it? Using the money in the white minibus or is it in Mazda reg ALH 393!

    • I went to a fish camp in Malima, Sinazongwe District to buy fish since during the fish ban you can buy from this region because the rain patten is no conducive for growing maize. So these fishing communities relay on fishing and the market is Choma. The chain goes like this fishermen sell fish to fish trader who in turn bring it to the market. Now during this season the roads are cut off due to flooding. On this particular road th’re six crossing or bridges which are all no accessible. Until when the rain season ends. They relay on Choma for selling and essential supplies, meali-meal, cooking oil, Fish nets etc. Now imagine for rest of this season no fresh fish will move and dried fish is out the equation, salted no salt from Choma. There is starvation right now. But if a road was done

  20. His Excellency Mr Sata is fit and is working hard at state house. PF are damn liars. Fooled Zambians on the status of the late president’s health until on the day he died! Can u trust these pipo anymore?His Excellency Mr Sata is fit and is working hard at state house. PF are damn liars. Fooled Zambians on the status of the late president’s health until on the day he died! Can u trust these pipo anymore?His Excellency Mr Sata is fit and is working hard at state house. PF are damn liars. Fooled Zambians on the status of the late president’s health until on the day he died! Can u trust these pipo anymore?His Excellency Mr Sata is fit and is working hard at state house. PF are damn liars. Fooled Zambians on the status of the late president’s health until on the day he died!

  21. Notice he said “REPEALING” the NGO Act and “REVISITING” the Public Order Act—did you catch that?!

    This guy stands on mountain tops screaming about the Public Order Act and all he can promise is to REVISIT it and NOT have it REPEALED? Revisiting something can mean a lot things:
    1) Look at the act, have some fake debate on it and do nothing.
    2) Appoint some useless commission of enquiry and then sit on the findings and do nothing.
    3) Out right do nothing and keep promising you will REVISIT it when time allows because no firm commitments were made.
    4) Deny responsibility if nothing is done because all you did is promise to revisit the Act.
    5)etc.

    So what differentiate him(HH)/UPND from what other presidents and govts have done about it so far? What a hypocrite!

  22. I will just sit back and relax I know my party is winning. Can you guys guess which party this is.? Let me give you some clues.

    Its not a regional party, our president has acted as republican president, he connects with all types of voters, he released a draft constitution within 2 months after taking over as justice minister.

    aaha…! you guessed it… Its Edgar Chagwesa HH Lungu..!

    Viva EL Viva PF…

  23. Please don’t speak back to HH-UPND. Let them rule in their heads but in Zambia a leader called Edigar Lungu is coming after 20 January.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  24. “IFINTU NI LUNGU”!i feel sorry for HH and his noise makers bcoz no matter how he tries,majority voters have already voted for Edgar Lungu!!! 18 more days to go before Edgar Lungu enters state house!HEY THESE DREAMERS IN UPND SHALL CRY BADLY!!!!GO PF GO!

  25. The important thing is to get rid of the stup!d PF govt that has done nothing except tarnishing zambia’s clean image. Then we can sit back and plot a brighter future.

  26. Dodia IS
    Why is it that there are no descent people
    campaigning for Edgar Lungu in Lusaka?
    Honestly am only seeing ba ka ponya, call
    boys and many others. When I asked some
    of them to tell me why they support Edgar,
    I was geting answers like mulemona kwati
    infwa ya ba Sata twalisekelamo others will
    say Lungu nifintu?????? Honestly I didn’t
    understand anything…

  27. 16 days left for PF to stop all the illiterate & primitive way of reasoning & blogging.Just continue yapping brainlessly.Come 20th january-You will see for yourselves how life is for the majority outside PF & you will start thinking about governance issues not pet & immaterial personal assaults.We know that you are enjoying big time in your corruption & tribal inclinations.Continue blogging on anything that pleases you but know that the Zambian are never happy with your selfish & primitive social economic policies.

  28. HH hs jst conceded defeat; y shld it mata to him if EL signs or nt if UPND wz anywhere to winning the election? It bcoz he knws Changwa z winning z nw strtd prprng 4 a long life n oposition. HH sttmnt sums up all those statmnts of conecedng defeat tht UPND officials ve been making.

    Country children, women, and men let’s shift our attention 2 preprng state house 4 HE Mr. E.C. Lungu & her majesty the first lady Mama E. Lungu.

  29. Ati No Track Recordee! Ubufi umwaube uyu:

  30. Mr sixth President our vote is on pakuboko chabe. Zambia forward, better and united Zambia under HH. True development is just about 17 days away from starting to be planted on our land. Abash nepotism which had grown wings under PF.

  31. Zambia will remain poor because we do not use our Brian to chose the credible and serious leader to lead us . Edger with all the candidates he was not supporse to stand because of getting the client s money since we have foolish law which cannot governors us he is there on top of the roof to say he is the right candidate. In nomal countries where they respect consitution Edgar was suppose to be probed.

  32. I was chatting with a Kenya friend about Ruto`s visit to Zambia, he looked at me and said, this is your second bye election you guys, I hope you don`t make another mistake of electing a sick President. I felt so embarrassed.

    • EL is the 6th president. Those thugs who are saying that EL avoided debate with HH does not know the basics of politics. The Illuminati created problems in PF. The invisible hand thought that it can manipulate and install its stooge on PF. The time spent on getting out of the Illuminati’s whirlwind took some time. In the meantime HH went across and spread lies around. A few short-sighted muppets of the likes of Dipak, Mutati, Maureen, Masebo, Kabinge, Katele were prompted by the Illuminati to support HH, a weakling with no seats in parliament to pass any bill, not even constitution, to make him lose in 2016. He was to warm the seat for the real stooge of the Illuminati to takeover in 2016. What a name Rainbow! Where was the hurry to announce a new party during this period?

    • Edgar is supported by statesmen from neighbouring countries, Namibia, South Africa, Malawi, DRC, Angola, Mozambique, Kenya and Tanzania. They were concerned with the uncertainty and suppression of Zambian Interests (mortgaging of Zambia to economic colonisers). They saw through the game plan of the Illuminati. They saw how novice HH was and how easy it was to use him. Time was and is of essence. EL has vast area to cover and Illuminati wanted to keep him away from voters by tying him down to Lusaka, through debates and court cases. The judiciary saw through this, MMD politicians, through its central committee and majority of MPs saw through this. They have come out in huge numbers to support EL. This is giving the Illuminati and the financiers of HH a nightmare. Nightmare will be a realit

    • Illuminati’s nightmare will be a reality on 23rd January when HH loses and its plan to bring Rainbow to power in 2016 is dumped forever. EL is winning and winning with a huge margin. It will shock online hookers. Time has come for the marginalised to have a say in their government, their future and that of their children. A humble person shall be in Statehouse who listens to them and relates to them and their daily needs. And that person who will work to empower, create jobs and equal opportunities for all is EL.

  33. Yaba kwena ba forward has run out campaign message.Manje ni social contract.Last time it was medical grounds now its social contract.Bushe ninshi ama crooks mwasenda they are not enough abena VJ ,nomba mwasenda mayo uyobalefwaya ukumina ku stronghold.If people would want to beat her up in her stronghold area and you call that a strong supporter.Ba elder ba mu church kwena mulibabufi.Fili ukotuleya umuntu in Lungu

  34. Imwe HH kulibe chake.You mean one can win an election with just expired products like Masebo, MMD crooks and the widow.Kwena this country is going to dogs.Kwena ba HH if you are a man of integrity mulesala abakubofya. VJ ,widow and now the finished sick lady Masebo ati will form govt. kwena ni under five chabe

  35. How nice to come here without the kaponya Manweli shouting!
    He should stay and continue wrangling with TB Joshua.

    Unfortunately he’ll be here soon to dispel any semblance of debate – a word most feared by Mr. Lungu.

    Why won’t you debate your policies Mr. Lungu? You want to stop at ‘prophesies’ ? Sha!!

  36. EL asked a very good question about someone always trying to win elections over sickness or death, is it not the reason they use bright red colour in their party symbol.

  37. People, when we say HH and his followers are Masonists, you think we are being petty, no.
    Have you noticed how these creatures having been bleeding hate on our President EDGAR Lungu?
    Have noticed how much insults they been hipping on our great President Michael Chilufya Sata?

    In their confused state and desperation, they have been wishing EDGAR Lungu, dead. They have no message to convince the voters.

    Vote Edgar Lungu

  38. UPND supporters must start reconciling themselves to the likelihood that HH will lose these elections. Look, Southern Province is no longer a factor because Eastern Province will reciprocate the vote. Do not be deceived, Edgar Lungu will probably do better in N. Western/ Western provinces because he is not Bemba. This election will end with PF taking a consistent lead throughout! Nevers Mumba will not poll more than 100,000 votes!

  39. PF has everything to show for its work in ONLY THREE YEARS and this is what is haunting its enemies most.
    If so much can achieved in this short space of time, surely ZAMBIA is poised for much more development in the next ten years under PF for our children. With this, there absolutely NO chance for the opposition.
    Remember HH is AGEING faster than they can bear.

    Just in case you have forgotten, how did HH get the presidency in UPND? Mazoka died and this masonist declared that UPND is for TONGAS ONLY, SO WHY SHOULD THEY BLAME INNOCENT PEOPLE?

    Vote Edgar

  40. The desperation with which PF is now playing and trying to score from off-side positions, is a testimony of how poorly they have been playing during the regular 90 minutes, which they, proverbially, called “90 days.” They are desperate to soothe the Zambian electorate with palliatives, and even evince a superficial diagnosis. The fact is, they failed to provide a cure during the 90 minutes of regular time. Sorry, it’s final – no injury time!

    Trial and error tactics is how they have been trying to do it. Mr. Lungu himself, a good man for sure, is unable to articulate a plan for Zambia’s economy. Meanwhile, time is ticking away. It is about to expire on the so called “PATRIOTIC FRONT,” which, invariably is neither PATRIOTIC nor got a FRONT. What “Patriotic Front” is this?

  41. Viva EL !!!!! Dreaming is when you buy helicopters thinking how be president and waking up you realize that you are just a president for one province.PF have raised the game and very soon HH will be competing with his age group of the Nevers, Nawakwi and others .PF are in a class of there own not boza yamwana iyi.Full of rejected products and cann’t even be recycled to make something.Sure people can you recycle VJ, GBM ,finshed Masebo and the widow.

  42. I don’t read the looooong posts from PFists. What is there you want to say that’s new?

    For people who are sure they’ve already won, you’re crap at celebrating!
    You spend your time writing looooong manuscripts here instead of going to ‘boostele’ (I’m guessing that I’m using your word correctly, and that boostele is what one does when has won something)

    What’s holding you up??

  43. Jan 2 Edgar Lungu probably woke up with a serious hungover ! Lol Lelo ni weekend twanwa again, monday ni recovery. I guess will hear from him next Wednesday. Awe sure Aba ma dizzy!
