Jack Mwiimbu
Members of the United Street Vendors Foundation Cooperative Society Limited is disappointed with the remarks attributed to Monze Central Member of Parliament Jack Mwiimbu and published in today’s Times of Zambia Newspaper.
Society District Chairperson Fredrick Tembo described the statement as demeaning to the organisation.
Mr. Tembo, who was accompanied by Copperbelt province society secretary Albert Nkonde, told ZANIS in an interview in Ndola today that it was very sad that such remarks could come from a leader.
He has since called on the parliamentarian to retract the statement he made over the District Commissioners being appointed by President Edgar Lungu.
Mr. Mwiimbu is quoted in today’s Times of Zambia newspaper as saying ‘the District Commissioners being appointed by President Lungu are marketers and street vendors whose only qualifications are their birth certificates’.
He stated that marketers and vendors are important people as they help contribute to the economic growth of the country in their own way.
He said Mr. Mwiimbu should not forget that for him to be a parliamentarian, it was because he had to solicit for votes from the same marketers and vendors who he is belittling today.
“For Mr. Mwiimbu to be where he is today it does not mean that others cannot reach that level. He should therefore retract his statement if he wants to stand in 2016 elections,” Mr. Tembo stated.
Thats the way it should be, targeting the individuals to be accountable for their utterances than wholesale condemnation of all that the person associates with. Well done SDC. Tembo!
This is how Tongaz behave. Thats why they will never rule Zambia

Mrs Wina making noise about nothing again..please concentrate on economy and rising costs!!
@jkalusa and the rest of you “PHD” holders posing as marketeers: Ba Jack Mwimbu’s point is that you and me pa zed should not entrust an individual who holds a birth certificate only in his life and grant them “passport” (qualification) to be custodian of an institution especially a Ministry. Dullness usually creeps in people when you don’t read between the lines. jkalusa from your ranting you seem to be a person obsessed by a demon full of hate and dullness – please seek help. My friend listen to this; Men and women who fall under the PS are degree holders and some have Masters (Directors of a Ministry). If you put a grade seven drop out or an individual who has never entered any classroom to be PS, what in the world are you trying to achieve? You expect the guys below to respect…
This whole story and what madam Wina said is just meant to take advantage of these uneducated brothers and sisters. The point by JIM which I support is we cannot give ncito to people who have zero qualification. The civil service runs the government. Dissolve parliament today and government functions continues. This komboni life, where I grew up, of telling this one that that one insulted you is wrong.
Making a mountain out of a molehill, the man is just showing the low calibre of most DCs just as most marketeers are.
