HH counters GBM: UPND will not strip Lungu’s immunity, but give him safe passage

UPND president Hakainde Hichilema has overruled his vice-president for administration Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba’s threats that President Edgar Lungu would be stripped of his immunity and sent to jail along with Daily Nation proprietor Richard Sakala should the opposition party form government after the general elections in August.

Mr Hichilema has differed with Mr Mwamba over the culture of vengeance, vindictiveness and retribution declaring that it would not be the pre-occupation of the UPND once in Government to embark on a crusade to hunt down President Lungu should Zambians give him the chance to govern the country.
“we will not arrest him. We will give him safe passage,” Mr Hichilema said.

Mr Hichilema alleged that the PF was conspiring with the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to manipulate the August 11th elections by deliberately scheming to deliver the ballot papers late in the opposition party ‘strong holds.’

Mr Hichilema said that the party had carried out some research and had information on how the ECZ would rig the elections in a similar way it was done in some African country.

“We have done some research and we have got the data. They want to print ballot papers in a suspicious place like it was in some African country. They want on the voting day to delay to bring ballot papers in Lusaka by 12:00 hours. Now, that is playing. When we talk, they say shut up! But is ECZ your mother’s company and who is Pricilla Isaacs?

He said he had a letter the ECZ wrote to one of the bidding companies giving reasons for not selecting them alleging that some PF officials were in Dubai to prepare the printing of the ballot papers.

“We have the data and we are not talking from without. The company whose letter we have met all the requirements such as the weight of the ballot paper, experience and that the rejected company bid US$1.6 million while the Dubai company had a bid of US$3.5 million. And we say no to the expensive bidder,” Mr Hichilema said.

On Tuesday former president Rupiah Banda has advised that no political party should aim at forming Government to unduly execute retribution and vengeance on its citizen but rather to cultivate a sense of unity and cohesion after taking over leadership,.

He said the culture of political vindictiveness, vengeance, retribution and pure political hatred should never be allowed to be nurtured because such vices had only achieved persecution against selected citizens in the country.

Mr Banda said the continued threats by the UPND that President Edgar Lungu will have his immunity from prosecution removed if the opposition political party formed government after the August general elections had the potential to create tension during the election campaign period.

    • “But is ECZ your mother’s company and who is Pricilla Isaacs?”………..underfive language…..,,,,HH is not presidential material, Vote ECL.

    • Forget about GBM. He suffers from Zyka Virus..

      Just look at his body compared to his head. Those are full symptoms of Zyka Virus.

      He has been lambasted by most UPND senior members not to cost them their seats and of course the election.

      GBM is in there to award himself contracts. Nothing else.

    • “Who is Priscilla Isaacs?” She is the woman who is going to bury your egocentric UPND minted a$$ into oblivion in August!

    • Hmmm…I guess HH has been reading my posts, well thanks for cutting down on the evil mindedness, vindictiveness, insolence, blood thirst and incitement of Zambian Watch Dog Mr HH, however sorry to disappoint you but you will not become the next President and no way in hell is the most vulgar mouthed overweight lumpene in Zambia GBM going to be Veep of Zed..heaven forbid that ever happening..

      2016 ECL nafuti

    • What GBM was say is the same thing HH is saying,,, Lungu will be give free passage after spending time muma cell and returning all the money he has stolen,,, including the illegal salary increase ,,, so people don’t get confused!!!

    • The incoming president should have made it clear that it is only Edgar
      Lungu who wont be arrested. All those who will be found with a case to
      answer for attempting to rig the august election will be prosecuted for
      treason. The law is very clear. Madam Priscilla Isaacs, you are warned in
      advance not to engage in activities that will put you in trouble. You are a
      family person, be responsible, you are an elderly person. Dont manipulate
      the will of the people because Edgar Lungu will not be there in court to
      counteract what our many eyes in ECZ will say. We have high level
      information from all key government institutions including the ECZ and the
      Red Brick. Dismiss this information at your own peril.

    • @ndobo, my friend but what’s wrong with ka $3000 salary adjustment, that’s not theft. And remember Edgar is a nice guy, he deserves a free passage into diplomatic mission.

    • IT’S TOO LATE BA MATEBELA. EVEN IF YOU COUNTER IT WILL STILL BE IN VAIN. IT WILL NEVER WIN YOU VOTES ACROSS THE PROVINCIAL BORDERS OF ZAMBIA. POLITICALLY, MUCILI NAMA TUVI PAMATAKO. FIRST MUKALEKE UKUNYA MUMA TEBELA MUKATAMPE UKUNYA MU TOILET. HOWEVER, WITH SO MUCH MATUVI PAMATAKO MUKAYA NUNSHA MU STATE HOUSE. WAIT FOR ANOTHER 30 YEARS BA UNDER 5.

    • GBM should be reminded that the Bemba culture of insolence, daily insults, violence and thieving is not the future of Zambia. PF’s reign is an aberration, a nightmare. A new govt needs to cultivate a culture of law and order and respect for every Zambian. Goodbye PF and your tribalism and xenophobia!

    • THIS IS MATURED PRESIDENTIAL REMARK FROM MR. PRESIDENT HH. ZAMBIANS ARE BEHIND YOU COMRADE HH. WE SHALL VOTE FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SOLUTION TO ZAMBIA’S DEMISE. LUNGU IS A TIME WASTER AND A SIMPLE SPACE FILLER. WE WANT TO VOTE FOR CHANGE ON AUGUST 11. VIVA HH VIVA! VIVA UPND VIVA!

  1. We are not at all surprised by this charlatan and politically inexperienced (HH) Hakainde’s inconsistencies which have started even before elections. He has no strategy to win the coming elections. Busy causing havoc, alarm is all he can do. Under 5 wimp.

    • Poor Kudos. Take heart son. Being in opposition again will not be so bad. We promise to listen to your tantrums also about how we will be running the economy. In the meantime here, have a cookie and calm down.

    • How unfortunate for the true members of this UPND. Hakainde Hichilema has destroyed UPND and Anderson Mazoka no longer rests in peace because Hakainde Hichikema has reduced UPND from a powerful opposition to a violent, ritualistic Satamic cult

    • And a PF dunderhead is crying on behalf of true UPND members who are actually happy and smiling. Stop Kudos boyi now you are embarrassing yourself. Talk about Lungu and his standing with true PF members who are defecting everyday. I have not heard of any UPND defections to your boat have I? Have you? You are a funny guy.

    • How true is it that this Under-5 said “is ECZ your mother’s company?” I think Hakainde Hichilema is now getting delusional. Poor boy has no charisma. He was making a pathetic attempt to sound like Rupiah Banda, other times he tries to sound like MC Sata. No sense of direction. I sympathise with Hakainde considering his riches thrown into UPND over a decade. What a wasted investment.

    • I would change to something else than kudos. Every time opposed. It says a lot. Sometimes mushota would say something people may agree though largely she fires blanks

  2. I have a feeling your stance will change once you find out the actual extent of how Mr. Humble and his bunch of dunderheads have stolen Mr. HH. You will be shocked into a coma. Most of those three eurobonds are in people’s pockets

    • I think HH has misfired. HH is not aspiring to be chief but occupant of the Presidency whose chief function is to uphold the Constitution.

      That documents proscribed criminality. So what will HH do if he is provided with evidence beyond all reasonable doubt that Lungu had committed crimes?!

      HH is this your mother’s constitution to decide what to do with Lungu? Ba Post tell off this new found friend of yours that constitution is constitution.

    • I think the parties that have actual numbers in parliament would be well versed to comment whether nonsense or not. Your FDD with its one MP is an irritating mosquito.

    • There is no articulation of ideas by majority of bloggers here so that others can too learn what they know. What is happening is UPND and PF Cousinship which keeps on bringing the coutry backward, because of no change in culture. If it was campaigning issue, mature argument could be the order of the day rather than insults which the Church has advised parties against and their followers even on blogs like this one.

  3. Hehehehe. These 2 clowns…why are they even having this discussion. Lungu is not losing to the UPND. We all know UPND can’t garner 50% plus 1 vote.

  4. He’s already showing us his traits “we will not arrest him. We will give him safe passage”? Is it up to the ruling party or is it up to the police to arrest law breakers Hakainde Hichilema can seriously undermine the autonomy of State wings. Listen carefully to the way Hakainde Hichilema speaks. Fellow Zambians, Hakainde Hichilema is a person who can destroy Zambia.

    • I can actually picture tears running down your snotty face. Are you that petrified of HH? What did you steal Kudos because dude you sound hysterical. Most of the people you are crying to apa do not even vote. Come on down to Zambia and engage the actual starving voters and make that plea to them OK faggy boy?

    • In Jesus Christ, no weapon fashioned against HH will prosper and every tongue speaking falsehood against HH is condemned for that is HH’s heritage as the beloved of the Lord.

      All incantations railed against HH from the pit of hell boomerang back to the devil and his agents and are rendered null and void. Any demonic confederacy that cabal a stratagem of lies, slander, smear, falsehood break your teeth and bones in the Name of Jesus, a curse full of demonic assaults and bondage engrains into your destiny all that is yours unto a thousand generations!!

  5. Who will Hakainde be to passing safe passages( assuming he is president)…there we go again…let the relevant institutions judge who is guilty or not. Like Mo Ibrahim stated that the difference between Lilongwe and Zurich or Frankfurt is governance.

  6. Amature & inexperience on display. 1stly, remove immunity on what grounds? 2ndly, using what MPs, 20 from 1 province? Dream on! August Ni pamakafye! Pa bwato!

  7. That is what a leader does. He does not fear to counteract his vice or any other party leader’s statement which has not been decided upon by the whole party members. Not Changwa who fails to counteract Bwalya or Mumbi or Kabwili’s statements. Maybe it is because these speak what he has decided upon. Yes #latest, some of us have heard. We will see what Changwa will say. Now Zambians are open to attacks over suspicion in other countries. If the deceased was involved in ritual murders, then he deserves what he was doing. But sad if he was innocent.

  8. Its allowed to fantasise and dream to be this and that. Mukanda was doing the same for those of who you , ve read the form 1 by rhen English text book

  9. They want on the voting day to delay to bring ballot papers in Lusaka by 12:00 hours. Doesn’t HH and his UPND realise that their standing protests against ECZ’s award of printing tender may result into disorganisation such as the cited one. If they want smooth electoral process and their protest to stand, which they are entitled to, they should also request for postponement of elections although its a cost to the nation. No one wants to vote in rainy season instead of ploughing maize for export this time.

  10. It is wrong to say He’s not going to be persecuted, what necessitates probing is overwhelming evidence of abuse of office, graft, wide spread wrong doings. its the law that follows the actions of a sitting president to either be persecuted or not. Be consistent Mr HH, you are outside and inside state house could be a breeding ground for massive looting of the Treasury….Nobody would want to be probbed later on….but the long arm of the law visits whoever…

    • Persecuted? Prosecuted more like it. Anyways, if is left to the head of State to decide then it is indeed persecution.

  11. This the true UPND. For of hate and selfish motives. Remember these are businessmen with personal interest at the expense of Zambia. PF will win in August and would happen if ECL hadthebarbaric attitude of these UPND leaders turned thugs and gangsters. Mwamba has never changed since his mandrax deals era. Some people may be too young to know of where in the village during that time. So this the UPND leadership. HH the privatization dealer GBM the mandrax lord. Imagine if they are to rule Zambia as a team! Zambia will never make that mistake in August. These guys will be unmasked in the next few days.

    • Asegai, where is the hate speach in what H H said about not being vintigtive? Is your lack of understanding the english language so bad? Please i think you should find time to study the language.

    • Kubwela,
      unfortunately you are not capable to tutor me in English language. I have a very education in English and have I have enough comprehension and understanding of both modern, traditional English literature. I can understand English better than some English people themselves.

      My comments on HH hatred towards ECL is not based on English language but the way has has been talking about ECL from the time he was beaten in the last Presidential election. It is very easy to see that in whatever he says about ECL, he laces it with malice towards him. You have chosen to ignore these comments because you his supporter. I understand that but it does not take way the truth. HH is very bitter and harbours personal hatred towards ECL. This is very clear from his speeches.

      For me HH is not…

  12. High Court in lusaka will be fully booked for a few years to come after elections. HH does not know the extent of looting of public resources by PF, will soon change his mind when the Zambian people demand justice.

    Visit how they have become millionaires in 5 years.

  13. We are adamant about not giving HH a chance to lead this great country. No news here just wishful thinking. “Should and if, Zambians gave a Satanist a chance to reign”
    No news here next item please… 😮

  14. What has he done to be threatened with jail in a at case? And isn’t it presumptuous of you Hakainde to think you will win? Even if you won the presidency you will never muster a majority in Paliament. Unless UPND change their leader they are doomed to be in opposition. And August 12 is the end of this party. You will see a lot of the key players drop out of politics. There is no wind of change as you had witnessed with Sata. So dream on. You will get your usual number of votes. The so called defectors will lose their seats. PF will win in their strongholds. And increase the numbers in eastern province

  15. Comment:iam fully in support of president in waiting HH setiments directed at priscilla issacs.
    The lady is behaving as thou she owns ecz and the rest of us her outsiders.If the stake holders rises cocern, as a person tasked to preside over this important matter what she should do is to call for a round table meeting.

    • GBM has chickened out of the debate with Kambwili. GBM and HH are a poor pair due to bad temper and extreme hate for those who oppose and defeat them in politics. They take are things so personal no wonder they are promising to do bd towards those in power. With such kind of purpose to gain power, God will not allow these evil minded people.

  16. HH simply looked at the anti GBM comments and decided to say the opposite on the premise that its what people would want to hear. H H is simply a cimmentator, no original ideas just a follower.

  17. HH is really a political amature!!SURELY WHICH NORMAL ZAMBIAN CAN BELIEVE THESE LIES?HOW CAN ECZ BRING BALLOT PAPERS TO LUSAKA AT 12HRS?PLUS WHO TELLS HH THAT HIS TRIBAL UPND IS MORE POPULAR IN LUSAKA THAN PF?KIKIKIKIKI,THIS “CHUUNDU CHAITWA” CHAIRMAN WILL CRY BADLY AFTER 11/08/2016!!!surely can upnd dream about beating PF in Lusaka and Copperbelt urban?THE OPPOSITE IS THE FACT.UPND WILL GAIN VOTES BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO SPOILER PARTY IN 2016,BUT ALL IN ALL,PF WILL BE NUMBER 1 IN LUSAKA AND COPPERBELT URBAN!!I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR HH BECAUSE HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT IS ON THE GROUND.A LOT OF NONE BANTUBOTATWE HAVE VOWED NOT TO VOTE FOR HH ON 11/08/2016!!let hh mix a lot with none tonga unlike the way he mixes mostly with only his tribesmen!!”IFINTU NI LUNGU-2016!!”

  18. What I fail to understand is why some people want Lungu and his PF to rule another five years? Do Zambians really aspire for greater things or we are conditioned to mediocrity? Sad!

    • I am sorry that you fail to understand why people want ECL to continue. He is humble, connected to the common people, people love him and he loves God, etc. PF is a socialist popular party which has done so much in a short time. ECL and PF do not revenge on their opponents.

      HH is arrogant, self-made king, harbor hatred for ECL because he beat in the last elections, he has vulgar language, he is UPND President just because he is Tonga, he does not relate or connect with the common Zambian, he only mixes well with the rich and affluent, he gained selfishly during privatisation, he is a liar, he is boastful. UPND is a self-made tribal party!!!

      I hope this suffices!!!

  19. Ifintu ni Lungu Beginning from mongu, central, copperbelt , northern , Eastern ,southern Ku voter PF chapwa!!!! Isukeni amenso mwebena Zambia mwibepwa naba abashacitapo nangu Como .Lungu continue to humble your self and continue ukwita Jesue Christ pakuti ubombe bwino mwisakamana ba President mwaka wenu balungu

  20. IN MY VIEW THE POSITION SHOULD BE THAT THE LAW SHOULD TAKE ITS COURSE.. IT SHOULDN’T BE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL, REGARDLESS OF HIS POSITION, AS TO WHO SOULD BE ARRESTED AND SHOULD NOT. IF ONE HAS COMMITTED AN OFFENCE, LET THE LAW VISIT HIM. IN FACT THIS NON….
    SENSE OF IMMUNITY SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE CONSTRUCTION.

  21. …IT SHOULDN’T BE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL, REGARDLESS OF HIS POSITION, TO DECIDE AS TO WHO SHOULD BE ARRESTED…..

  22. Well I’ve fought the fight and for the next month ill be off for peace keeping somewhere..see you chaps in May when campaigning starts..to my fellow pro PF guys keep the flame burning online the future is in our hands…

    2020vision signing off (for one month only)..

    God bless all of you be you PF or UPND (repent ba UPND)

    2016 ECL nafuti, nafuti, nafuti..

    • Thanks ba 2020vision atleast you have been objective in your posts despite the bad languange from UPND cadres who claim to be very educated when infact not.We shall keep the fire burning because we are 100% sure PF will win this election.

  23. Well said everyone. Now to clause the comments on this topic, we have a new name for HH. We have christened him “Commentator”, much like the ones in soccer.
    This is because his statements, his opinions, his commentaries, his politics, his whole campaign strategy in fact, are all based on what other people have said before him, he has no original ideas of his own. His aspiration for State House is solely based on commenting on what Edgar Lungu says or does, Commentator simply has to say the opposite. If Edgar were to remain silent for the next two weeks you can bet your treasured car that HH will not have anything to say for the period.
    Original name: HH
    Acquired name: Commentator

  24. Dear Mr. Hakainde Hichilema, since you have asked, Ms. Priscilla Mulenga Isaacs is the current Director of (not for) Elections at a body called ECZ (Electoral Commission of Zambia) they help facilitate elections in Zambia including the position you are aspiring for. She is the same lady you emotionally castigated in 2015 on Voice of America on a program hosted by Shaaka soon after your marginal defeat. Second, be educated that in procurement guidelines it is not always the lowest bidder that is awarded a tender am sure you can enquire. Like I have said start doing a little more research speak less and you might sneak the election expose yourself and you will lose again…EZN for President

  25. GBM, before you arrest anyone you should start with yourselves. Don’t worry GBM we shall make a large enough reinforced bed in the cells to accommodate you. And of course we shall release some prisoners to make room for the known crooks and corrupt elements that now make up the top leadership of UPND. What about muzungu opusa? Also catered for, we shall provide fish and chips for him every Friday. The list is not exhaustive, I am working on a menu of logistics that will be required to accommodate the whole leadership of UPND if they will volunteer to confess their crimes and to get locked up.

  26. One thing you should currently know , Priscilla Isaacs behind president Edgar.C.Lungu. Work for Upnd to see how August polls are going to be.

  27. GBM should not be anywhere in the ranks of any government, whether PF or UPND. He is an axis of trouble…a known sadist even in his own home. HH wapia! Be warned.
