      ULANDA ATI ULI WA KU CHURCH BUT WHAT YOU DO IS SO CONTRARY .
      HOW MANY MMD MPS WERE SERVING IN PF GOVT ,EVEN UPND THEY ARE MPS THERE.
      PIPO NEED MEDICINE ,WE NEED SCHOOLS FOR OUR CHILDREN .
      NOT STUPID BY…

  1. Now that Sata is dead and that Chibesakunda is no longer CJ,

    all these malicious petitions will be thrown out. Because they were baseless. The only basis they had was malice and hatred.

    This was more like the removal of RB’s immunity by parliament when the matter was in court.

    The Speaker must pay for this. This should earn the speaker a boot, because of listening to Summer Kambewa whose purpose of existence is hatred, evil, and ill will.

    • Hopefully now that Chibesakunda is no longerActing Chief Justice we might see sanity return to the Zambian which was heavily compromised by Sata and his relative Chibesakunda. Lawyers should fight for the rule of law so that it prevails.we are sick and tired of the lawlessness exhibited by the politicians!

  2. For those who might not know this MP, he is the one on the circumcision advert.

    VIVA circumcision. Guys go for circumcision. You win court cases, besides many other benefits.

  3. Many zambians hate Winter Kabimba because of pf induced parliamentary by elections which costed the country huge sums of money.the wasted resources would have made a difference in our healthy sector which majority of our citizens are deprieved of.

  4. No more evil Winter Kabimba in PF and sanity is back in our courts!!!Viva Edgar Lungu and for sure “IFINTU NI LUNGU!!”

  5. Winter is perceived evil, both in North Western Rhodesia and North East Easternsia Rhodesia, so he will be comfortable in Central Stern Rhodesia where he will do extremely well with some section of media on his side!

  6. The reality is that mmd will be shared between upnd and pf. So Mwale will defect to pf next year.he might have been promised by edgar.

  7. Phew!!!! it is always great news when the opposition when a case duly in court. Zambia is on the right path. Amen to Jesus, Viva opposition of truth and Justice. Viva conventions for every political party. Viva Nawakwi.

  8. Anyway, at this time it makes sense to deal with that backlog of cases. We are a short year and a bit before they need to all re-contest those seats.

    Phiri need not worry, he can hope to be re-elected candidate and have a go again. He should just keep the PF home fires burning until 2016.

    No need for sorrow. All is good if decided by God Almighty. Just pray and re-gear with greater Faith.

  9. Three people induced by elections and these are Winter Kabimba,Michael Sata and former acting chief justice Chibesa Kunda.Since they are longer in power,believe you me,there will never be any by elections till 2016.Believe it or not,MMD had a meeting with a meeting with president Edgar Lungu recently.
