Regrettably, the Patriotic Front government has failed to show leadership and character in governance and economic affairs of this nation. The recent collapse of the stock markets in China cannot be the reason for the crashing Zambian economy. Much as we appreciate and understand the diverse effect it has added to our economy, just as the rest of the world, it is total madness and acute stupidity for the PF government to use that as an excuse for their failed leadership.
We have noticed as the Movement for Multiparty Democracy with great concern the PF government’s manoeuvres in the recent past in their desperate efforts to hoodwink the Zambian citizenry with their political rhetoric and politicization of government policy on a number of subjects. For instance, the recently launched Youth Empowerment Policy and Action Plan is nothing but a mere political tool that the PF government intends to use for their political mileage. The Zambian youths are waiting to see just how far that policy frame work will go and if that action plan will be actualised within its stipulated time or it will be another “90 Days” saga as we have all come to know the PF.
The Defence Force recruitment is another classic example of the PF government’s desperate attemps to fool us the youths of Zambia. The whole process, including this year when the Zambia Police Service was recruiting, was marred with corruption, nepotism and lack of professionalism. This Stone Age governance style is synonymous with the PF government. It is who you know and as MMD, we want to state categorically that these schemes will not make us lose focus in eliminating the PF off the Zambian political scene in 2016.
The hurried roads and other infrastructure developments, the continued creation of new districts and the pronouncements of huge public service salary increments to mention but a few are been done all on borrowed money. We cannot continue to live on “kaloba” (borrowed money), rather we should be nuturing ingenuity, creativity and seeking tangible solutions to our present economic woes and that is what the MMD is offering in 2016 and beyond under the leadership of Dr Nevers Sekwila Mumba. It is not magic nor is it a fallacy that we as MMD have done it before. The Zambian people remember that we liberalized the economy and brought about economic emancipation to this nation.
It is evident that the PF government does not only lack direction in their governance policy but also lack experience. No wonder President Edgar Lungu’s government is full of opposition members of parliament. Zambians can see what is at play in the PF government. The President is out there seeking our guidance as the opposition because his own are consistently incompetent.
I therefore take this opportunity to urge all peace loving, true patriots of the mother land to carefully study the PF government as we go to the polls come 2016. I most emphatically call on the Zambian youths to rise in numbers and do a “Donchi Kubeba” on the PF by getting whatever they will give you in their desperation but make sure you remove them from government come 2016 because they have proven that leading Zambia is too much of a challenge for them.
We cannot go on like this as a nation being constantly derailed by the PF government. It is time for the New Hope MMD to be given a chance to lead Zambia again in 2016.

YES PF AND CHAGWA HAVE FAILED BUT MMD ANT THE SOLUTION EITHER.HH AND UPND IS THE SOLUTION FINITO.LUBASENSHI AND SOLWEZI WEST HERE WE COME!.
The pot calls the kettle black. MMD should first settle internal wrangles before seeking national leadership. Try first to reconcile the break-away patch of MMD that ran away with Banda. Your past leadership history under Banda still haunts you.
Comment:
Poor MMD, far too many spokespeople, a clear Indication of the collapse of discipline in the once-upon-a-time mighty party.
Mr Lengwe Do U Think Your Katemba Party Will Form Government Again. Pf Will Still Win In 2016
…going by PF’s 2011 campaigns and the jubilations which followed after their victory, it would be inconceivable for someone who could have gone into a comma induced by over joyous just after the announcement of the election results…only to recover and wake up this first day of August, 2015 to find the Kwacha trading at K9 to a Dollar….K13 to a pound, 48hrs of continuous load shedding, with a pre 2011 constitution still in force, Dora Siliya PF MP, RB is the special advisor to the President….thinking its MCS only to be told…NO… the presido is now ECL….the dude would go back into a serious comma this time around I can assure you…..
MMD is the only party with a proven track record to govern. In fact, Rupiah is happu with his Wako ni Wako choice of Edgar Lungu. There is. No reason why if dr Mumba can reorganize his party he can. Not win. Zambians are looking for a leader this time and it’s not money or the arrogance of. Power that will matter. I personally feel Nevers can make. A better president than both Lungu and HH, he just needs to continue his plan of reorgaanising.
Let’s face the facts.
Anybody would make a better President than this drunken F00L that cannot even give a simple press conference!
For sure he would even fail to run a kantemba!
Poor failed project. They promised 90 days but failed. Then we gave them the whole of 5 years they have also failed. What is next?
Kick them out of power.
We thought they were a blessing but a curse.
Mwe ba Bemba naimwe uwobe wobe Nevers Mumba mmd. Kick the rats out of state house.
Norherners wake up RB says wako ni wako, work with Southerners to remove the tribalists from state house. They use yo language for their tribal politics.
But I have hope bembas will one day wake up and salvage their image smeared with tribal shades by …
Or else vote for Mulyokela ppp.
Wako ni Wako Ni Zambia Ni One Nation One Tribe and only small brains talk tribe. PF is an all inclusive Party and this is good for our country. The sustained development projects since 2011 have just gone to show that PF does not do things just because there is an election looming but that they love Zambia more than the political power.
Viva President Lungu and PF and come 2016 we shall win by landslide and shame these jealous opposition
@Serious
You can’t be serious!
PF is a fake party that came to power on fake 90 day promises and has now given Zambia TWO FAKE Presidents.
Zambians deserve better than this.
bA mmd,
PLEASE “DON’T” AND I REPEAT “don’t” BLAME PF or anybody for your disintegration but yourselves. MMD has no leadership. Your dilemma is of your own making and nobody will ever heal you but yourselves. Mr. National “Youth” Treasurer, it took you so long just to write such simple article. AND that is the disease with you MMD leadership: you waste time on writing stupid articles that have been shelved in your useless offices. If it can take you eleven months to write a seven short paragraphs of an article, how long will it take you to deliver the National development? The Zambian voter shall never trust MMD for it took you more than 20years celebrating your 1991 victory over UNIP. Stop swimming in such illusion and face the truth…PF IS TO RULE AGAIN & AGAIN. The NOISE YOU…
ARE MAKING is only promoting PF. Remember it is only you who sees PF as a failed ruling party because you are a youth. Ask your president Nevers Mumba: he shall confess to you and only advise you to continue writing such useless articles. ECL is working & working very hard….as you continue to lose elections and your membership….always crying foul. MMD is the failed party and dead.
