PF Secretary General Davis Chama has called on politicians in the country to stop practicing politics of deceit and start exercising politics of truth.

Mr. Chama said politicians spent time crying for a people- driven constitution yet when the bill was passed they started back tracking.

“Politics of truth must be exercised by politicians. politicians have been saying we want a people- driven constitution that will respect the will of the people and there has been a bit of deception.

They were demonstrating in parliament that they want the constitution but when Parliament passed the Bill the same politicians started back tracking, that is default of the truth, deceiving the Zambian people,” Mr. Chama said.

And Mr. Chama has said that the constitution making process has taken long because the PF wanted to include the views of every one including the minority groups who were opposing the constitution.

“It has taken a bit of time because we wanted to include the views of all Zambians including those minority who were opposing the constitution so that we take the views of everyone on board,” he said.

He further expressed happiness that the ruling party had delivered on their promise to give the people of Zambia a people- driven constitution.

He was speaking at Heroes stadium shortly after witnessing the assenting of the Constitution Bill by Republican President Edgar Lungu yesterday.

  1. After leaving/dropping out clauses from the draft constitution, it became PF driven constitution. That is what objective people were against including the mode of enacting it Sir. You have failed to dupe the people of Zambia.

    • Look at all the people in the picture! They are laughing their heads off!

      For this clown from the party of LIARS, that got elected on LIES, and have governed by LIES, it is truly amazing that this stooge can actually say such things!

      Mr Chama, I suggest you urgently seek some medical attention as it is perfectly obvious your brain has ceased to function correctly.

      Just please do not use Zambian Taxpayers money for some more PF medical tourism. Sata and Lungu have already gone WAAAAAAAY over budget on this item!!!!!!!!

  2. ba davis pansaka tapabula chipuba! muli chipuba! silence is golden ala mwatushupa kwati ni nika ilesensela.We appreciate what has been signed into law but what of the remaining stuff that we the people wanted mwalamwenako tulepilibula akapendo ba mkukulu

    • new educated zambia you are decampaigning UPND going by your comments. if you are not happy with someone say not insulting

    • @Ine wine
      This is a PF tactic: put on the UPND regalia and misbehave in public places to tarnish the image of the strongest opposition party supported by fwe bana LuBemba abashakwata kalaba. If you know what I mean. We know their tricks and we will counter each of them.

  3. KIKI BA UPND baliba bitter zoona.They are now saying we wanted the bill of rights not 50%+1.Iwe this is total desperation from a tribal party.We’ll see how they win 50%+1 in southern province alone.U can’t appose everything ba UPND. Why changing the goal posts every second.UPND has failed to tell us what they wanted to include in the constitution.Now they are saying we wanted constitution to pass through referendum.Are these chaps okey or what coz it seems they don’t know what they want.Their aim is to make sure that HH goes to plot 1 thru insults,tribalism & hate speeches..Alleady they are saying lungu denied bembas a vice president. Sata was insulted until his death but now Sata was a great leader jst to cheat pipo.Pipo should be honest indeed.Ba UPND chapwa nomba.UPND is about…

    • You are a dunderhead. I hope you are not in most because your level of idiocy is so toxic. Read my first comment above if you want to catch up with knowledge based debates.nxaah

    • Moscow (OP) You are a veritable bore! 50%+1? This is not in dispute. It could have been passed even without a review commission. Important issues are the Bill of Rights, proportional representation, fair distribution of national resources etc. These are critical issues that were left only to include such controversial matters like dual citizenship. You can not serve and be loyal to masters, what do you do if there is conflict? Be brave and pick a side, not kutobela kubili. If it is bad in one country you run to the other- ala Shamwana boys when the father was convicted for his part in the 1980 coup plot!! That is why there such issues like judges recusing themselves from some cases because of personal interest in the matter or managers declaring interest when discussing matters where…

    • Moscow(op) akaduka jealousy go kill you oh! those mines valuation and tribal nonsense theories are now like noise from a scratched CD, in your world if a person becomes rich then he stole,its Satanism (MHSRIP) or its tribalism. People work hard and when they make money it’s not witchcraft suck a dick and craw into your small rock, you are a praise singer with parasitic tendencies give us a break kontwe,ipuli usapota lifortele

    • That is why there such issues like judges recusing themselves from some cases because of personal interest in the matter or managers declaring interest when discussing matters where they need to award a contract to a company in which they shares!

  4. If the Constitution is the one Zambians submitted to the Technical Review Committee, then PF should not even waste their breath responding to critics, bitter opposition and NGOs.

    But if they know that yesterday was grand deception, donchi kubeba style, then there is maningi trouble for them!

    Yesterday, Lungu and PF laughed…..but who will laugh last?!

  5. ..politicians to be truthful..???….what is this Chama guy talking about….??…in real world especially in Zambia, anyone who becomes truthful automatically ceases to be a politician…..lies and deceit are synonymous with every politician

    • Why are FDD, RAINBOW, UPND and Grand.Coalition not.ululating this chigamba constitution?!

      And.the Post.Newspaper will not rest till all Zambians including the honest in PF are educated that yesterday’s Heroes Stadium charade was Edgar’s gimmick of.a.OF constitution by the PF and for.the PF.

      Country men, we are still devoid of a people driven constitution…….it’s not.yet uhuru!!

      Nawakwi, Sinkamba, Chipimo, Hakainde, Kabimba….band together and save us from donchi kubeba PF chigamba constitution.

  6. Not many comments but still enough to read the mode of the people. It appears that the only people who`re happy about this constitution are PF supporters. If Edgar was serious about his presidency then this should worry him. I mean worry him a lot actually. People are not seeing eye to eye with him. It will save him a lot of trouble in August if he can start checking how RB lost it. RB thought he was doing people a favor when the opposite was the case. I see a lot of tears this time around.

  7. Ba Chama, can you truthfully, for once, withdraw your comment questioning why people should be using pit latrines in this day and age and yet your beloved government is constructing health posts with pit latrines for staff and patients? Talk about selective amnesia…!

  8. R.B Lost because there was a wind of change in fact it was a tornado which was unstoppable. There is no such a mood this time around only a fresh air blowing. Sorry no change is coming soon.

  9. ………R.B Lost because there was a wind of change in fact it was a tornado which was unstoppable. There is no such a mood this time around only a fresh air blowing. Sorry no change is coming soon.

  10. I truly believe there is a disconnect between his brain and his mouth. Does he seriously believe what he says. There is some good in the amended constitution but it is not the new people driven constitution. Only PF cadres believe otherwise. It’s understandable, they are cadres. And from experience I believe cadres are not expected to think.

  11. Well Said Mr Davies Chama. HH is becoming a giant embarrassment. He has become a complete YOYO who does not know what he stands for. If ECL was to tell him that he has a beautiful and well mannered wife . He will oppose! Even If ECL was to tell HH that you are a Human Being , he would oppose that he was not. The man is sick with bitterness which has affected his reasoning faculties. Anything from ECL has to be opposed.
    He was crying for the constitution from day one of the PF government . He even came up with a list of failed promises by the PF Government in 60 days. Today the country has 80% of what was in the Constitution, he has now back tracked, even confusing his MPs, that he does not want it. The UPND faces a huge defeat in August. And their man will Weep bitterly.

    • I pity Lungu because he signed his expulsion latter. I was looking and held my breath and prayed for Lungu to sign 50%+1.Thts the end of him. Doom to those that presume that only southern province will vote for HH. Lets now watch the game for we all know 11th August is the D day for PF.God Jehova will deal with you like the soldiers of Pharaoh when they failed to cross the Red.VIVA Moses wanomba , Viva Supper HH.

  12. @kunda mashala which people are u talking about? are u telling me that PF supporters are not people? u mind this mode is not new to us. upmd has been the winner on the social media since 2011 that is the reason why ICHILEMA has grown big headed not knowing that there are few people(Tonga) changing names posting insults on social media. another example is millennium radio one & the same (Tonga) callers making noise day & night eg….. mwiinga, ignorant dr proud,misheck, kajili, un decided lukulu voice, namanda, coilard philimon , mu guys wa ku chaisa na presenter priscar

    • Try the Observer/Anonymous/Mr X – one Person, Mr Phiri, Mr Daka and some Senior not so Senior citizens at SUN FM

    • What about the serial telephone callers who make calls on all talk shows of different radio stations claiming HH is the one who save Zambia

  13. 50%+ my vote will see HH being elected as president of Zambia on 11th August 2016. Chama you can say your nonsense. No one cares now

  14. IWE’KAPOLI !!!
    Why don’t you be truthful, lead by example, & leave your comfy taxpayer funded dwelling this morning, take yourself to the nearest Police Station, hand yourself in for Firearms Offences/ assault with a deadly weapon.
    On your way don’t forget to collect the equally dishonest, lying corrupt Kaizer Zulu with you Ngwere!!
    You will cry like U.N.I.P’S Kamalondo, when your useless Party is finally Kicked out of office.

  15. CC- I meant– Try the Observer/Anonymous/Mr X – one Person, Mr Phiri, Mr Daka and some Senior not so Senior citizens at SUN FM for ECL. You would think ECL is Saint Lungu, pure, what ever he does is justifiable because he is anointed!!

    • He is also the “chosen one”, “humble”, “visionary”, “dear leader”………………………….

      Who in PF is doing “Copy and paste” from North Korea media?

  16. Ulya Palya Ngu Demona Upnd That Is Lucy’s Party. Worst Time Not On The Process Its Now Law Like It Or Not Its Now Time To Interprete It.
    Example
    Interpretation of G12 means all party members shud be G12 or better no more mposa mabwes like ones in upnd .
    Pipo join to one day rise to mp etc but now lucy has a upnd cadre no prostitution if u dont have G12 and All Those Kachemas Door Closed For Gud

  17. Comment: @Bufi Tuutu, you should also have reminded Bwana PF SG that very recently when the Timor Consulting story was exposed, Mr Chama denied his party’s involvement with this Israeli outfit so vehemently that he even claimed he was the PF consultant himself. But we have since seen Amos Chanda’s directive to the ZSIS Director General to sign a contract with the same Jewish crooks to rig this year’s elections and ensure that ECL / PF win! Politicians to be truthful? Is he not one of them himself? Or are PF politicians exempted from the rule / standard Mr Chama is laying down here?

  18. @Viva ECL, in my comment I didn’t talk of any tribal aspect.. Why do you choose to show your shallow levels of thinking? Be responsible an
    d make comments that make sense

  19. Pharisees never used to practice wat they preached. So is Davis. In the recent past, he has been preaching hatred among Zambians. His hydrocephalic head does not store wat he says. No one wud understand nor take him seriously. Civility can only come in politics wen there is respect among political players. Even wen you know that you are about to lose an election, be civil and exercise tolerance. But Davis wants his political opponents to respect him, wen he does not. Respect shud be reciprocal.
