A PATRIOTIC Front (PF) group calling itself Kum’mawa for Edgar Lungu 2016(KEL2016) has appealed to people in Eastern Province to completely reject United Party for National Development (UPND) by giving 100 percent to the current Head of State and the ruling party in the August 11th general elections.

KEL2016 team leader Colonel Panji Kaunda said in a statement yesterday that giving a vote to UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema and his running mate Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba popular known as GBM would be the worst mistake of the generation as the country would never develop.

“We don’t need to be hipper spiritual to detect that the combination of the two business ‘shyrocks’ is not only unholy but also meant to tell you that there will be no room for poor people in the country if the two became on top of the leaders of our country. I am sure we all witnessed the way the UPND leader humiliated Dr Canisius Banda the party vice president who was left as a running mate in preference for GBM because he did not have money to fly Mr Hichilema around the country,” he said.

Col Kaunda who is also Home Affairs Deputy Minister said the country has seen how the core founding members of UPNBD have been sidelined just in the few days into the campaigns.

“As you can hardly hear or see Garry Nkombo, Jack Mwiimbu and many other party stewards during the countrywide campaign tours of the UPND.This speaks volumes for all of us.Infact there were many UPND figures that were hardly visible during the nomination day,” he said.

Col Kaunda said voting the UPND would in itself be endorsing ruler -ship of the people who would take all the businesses to themselves.

“They both claim to be rich people but why do they want to rule this country?.As for the UPND leader himself, there are many unanswered questions about his wealth as it is completely shrouded in many myths as how could he be the auctioneer during the day and in the night he turns out to be the owner of the property he was selling. Just the sidelining of DR Banda in the UPND party is no different from the story of Esau and Jacob in the Bible where GBM takes the role of Jacob because of his wealth to take the birth right of Esau in this case Dr Banda,” he charged.

He said for those who left PF like Dr Guy Scott and others never meant well for the country.

Col Kaunda said Dr Scott was fired as agriculture minister in the Chiluba regime because of the corrupt way of handling the swine fever disease by paying himself heft compensation.

He said this sent him into forming the failed Lima Party before joining PF where he failed to run the party as party general secretary.

Col Kaunda said it was the grace of God that late president Michael Sata kept him to the position of Vice President despite Zambians seeing his true colours how he almost put the country into flames after the death of Mr Sata.

He said it was his humble appeals to the people in the province to denounce the unholy unite of a people that do not mean well for the people of the nation by not voting them into power.

Col Kaunda also appealed to the PF party leadership in the province that they should bring unity of purpose in the party and support officially adopted by the party as directed by President Lungu.

He said supporting independent candidates was no guarantee for their party loyalty when they win as they could turn against the party.

“Let us make sure the votes for the President remains undisturbed as you are well aware of the confusion around the symbols during voting that would pose difficulties to our people,” he said.

Col Kaunda also urged the women in the province and the country at large to guard their votes by voting for President Lungu because he meant well for the nation.

He said some of the opposition leaders were self-confessed women batterers which they claim was part of love.

“And from the composition of the UPND team, it is clear there is no space for women in their leaders which is archaic and old fashioned,” he said.

He said on August 11th Zambians must endorsed President Lungu who has kept the nation far even in the events of economic hardships.

He said Zambia was now feeding Malawi, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

  1. Hon. Kaunda, we cannot package and offload it any better than this. With precision you have hit a nail on the head. These tenderpreneurs have nothing good for a common man but their companies and foreign collaborators. Pick a leaf from GBV Chief at MoD, he personalized all MoD contracts and insulted anyone that questioned or showed him wisdom. Who did he share the opportunities with other than making himself defacto procurement, payment officer and supplier of everything from outfits to guns and food in all defense wings? Banda is a common man he does not fit the class of crooks to be a letter.

    • THIS PANJI KAUNDA IS MISLEADING THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE. WE HAVE ALL WITNESSED INSTABILITY UNDER EDGAR LUNGU’S LEADERSHIP. IT IS LUNGU WHO HAS AN AGENDA TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY, NOT HH. HH IS 100% ZAMBIAN, HE HAS ONLY ONE COUNTRY TO CHERISH AND CARE FOR, WHICH IS ZAMBIA. HH MEANS WELL FOR ZAMBIA. HH WANTS TO TRANSFORM ZAMBIA INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ECONOMIC STANDARD. HH WANTS EVERY ZAMBIAN TO HAVE A DECENT LIFE. HH IS BRINGING A LOT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERY ZAMBIAN. LUNGU HAS BROUGHT POLICE BRUTALITY. LUNGU HAS BROUGHT CORRUPTION AND LOOTING INTO OUR SOCIETY. PANJI I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH YOU FOR MISLEADING THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE. IF YOURSELF YOU ARE EATING AND BENEFITING FROM OUR RESOURCES, PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT MILLIONS OF US ZAMBIANS ARE SUFFERING AND IMPOVERISHED, ALL…

    • The one with questionable wealth is Edgar Lungu, his salary is K600 000/year yet he earned over K10 million in last 15 months. Edgar is a not a businessman, where did he make this money from? How much taxes did Edgar pay to ZRA over this income he earned. These are the questions Panji Kaunda should answer

    • Just like Chuuuundu fimofimo . . . . anzelu a ku’mawa… we shall vote like the Tongas voted!
      100% edga

  2. Voters want to hear what Parties are offering to Zambians to take it forward. Voters want an issues based campaign and not character assassination. It is only HH &UPND who have a Ten Point Plan to solve economic problems and take Zambia forward. Unip and PF have no Plans. They have no visions and as for PF and Lungu they have destroyed Zambia. Cost of living is very high,load shedding severe, violence and lawlessness has increased. Lungu is now K23.7 million rich from corrupt tenders and stealing public funds. Viva Team HH & UPND.

    • Dullness. Edgar,s worth is property. The way the Kwacha has reduced in value all properties have appreciated. No magic required. Even my piece if land I bought for K15,000 in 2012 is now worthy more than K300,000 in Lusaka.

  3. They both claim to be rich people but why do they want to rule this country?.As for the UPND leader himself, there are many unanswered questions about his wealth as it is completely shrouded in many myths as how could he be the auctioneer during the day and in the night he turns out to be the owner of the property he was selling. Just the sidelining of DR Banda in the UPND party is no different from the story of Esau and Jacob in the Bible where GBM takes the role of Jacob because of his wealth to take the birth right of Esau in this case Dr Banda,” he charged.

  4. @Col. Panji Kaunda and your group called Kum’mawa for Edgar Lungu 2016(KEL2016):
    This speaks volumes – you are just a small, shallow minded, retired, crooked and bankrupt son of a dictator!! How could you sink so low with your tribalism or regionalism. In your most ugly dic.khead of yours, you think only people from Kum’mawa matter! How about people from tghe North, South, West, North West, etc? Are you not ashamed of being a naked tribalist – the opposite of your father or brother Tilyenji?
    Just eat your tribalism for now you undischarged bankrupt prik but we are coming for you on 12/8 to place you where you belong – prison. Idi.ot!!

    • CHILYATA MY BOY,YOUR UNDER FIVE LEADER A ZALILA COME 14TH AUGUST 2016 AS E C L WILL BE SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA AGAIN.
      COL. PANJI IS VERY RIGHT, WE DON’T NEED PEOPLE WITH QUESTIONABLE CHARACTERS LIKE YOUR UNDER FIVE TO GO TO PLOT 1. HE IS A MASON FOR LIFE. THAT IS IT.

  5. Charles Mubonda, PF has not given any roadmap for development while UPND has a ten point plan. It appears tou are not comfortable with rich people ruling the country but you would rather have people who borrow to campaign so thst immeiately they win they can get money from the Treasury. What exactly is your reason for not wanting a rich person rule?

    • A 10 point plan is not a road map. I hope you know what a road map is. Those are points which need a clear explanation as to how and when each one will be fulfilled. That may be will translate into a road map depending on how they will put it. The PF to my understanding after reading their manifesto gives me hope because everything they have said they will do has got a detailed way of doing it. May be because you hate them to the core like Guy Scot, Miles Sampa and GBM hates them, then you won’t be interested in any good work done by the PF. Unfortunately for your non-recognition for their good works, UPND is de-campaigning itself. My vote has finally fallen on ECL and PF, so is that for my immediate family and the extended one.

    • They have been conditioned to think there’s honor in being poor. I want a president who ca give me an idea about how to invest my kantemba earnings so that at least I will have something for old age.

  6. As I suspected, Panji is no the sharpest tool in the shed, this just confirmed it. Surely those people deserve better reasons as to why they should vote for your party, not that hogwash. So in his warped thoughts ‘rich’ people have no right to offer themselves fir leadership. And why should the so called sidelining of old upnd members concern you?

  7. Mr Panji, how has Lungu’s rule benefitted the common Zambian? HH is making a lot more sense than ECL and PF right now.
    Tell us how you as PF will solve the problems that Zambia finds itself in! No need for character assasination!If HH has stolen, you are the government in power for crying out loud! Arrest him! Otherwise, just keep quite!

  8. This “Kumodzi Kumawa” and “Wako niwako” philosophy being advocated by Lungu and RB will not take Zambia forward. The South/North Alliance between HH and GBM in UPND is shaming the tribalists and regionalist in PF. Instead of uniting Zambians under a “One Zambia. One Nation” Lungu wants to divide Zambians for political expedience. Lungu is no longer a nation builder but a tribal warlord. Lets vote for HH,GBM & UPND to move our nation forward.

    • I’m voting for ECL and I am from Kumawa. In the past I used to vote for UPND. I have learnt my lessons well.

  9. Col Panji kaunda, surely have some decency and respect ur peers. We know you ll say anything to safeguard your job. Guy Scot may have done wrongs in the past, but does that make You an angel? We know how you landed that D/ministrial role that u re dancing to retain.
    Even after going to the best schools and having a privileged life, you are still falling shallow into raising dust over the wealth of HH and GBM. Wat is wrong with the rich them taking leadership. Is that why you are in office, to enrich yourselves?
    Those two played their game and if chikubaba go and report them to the authorities so they can be arrested.
    Let your party (By the way, consider helping your brother in keeping the flame burning #UNIP) just give a clear guide on how they ll turn the economy back to where they…

    • You are so right – spot on! In fact this Dic.khead, Panji, also tried to do business but because he is lazy and used to free things from his father, he lamentably failed and was even declared bankrupt by our courts!! So this envious prik, Panji, is jealousy of successful business like GBM & HH. The mother fuc.ker just failed and has now resorted to stealing through contracts…..and naked tribalism to try and retain luxuries!!

  10. Con Kaunda, please do you remember you came in a short for swearing in at state house and i tried to ash you but then the president sent you away to go and wear a suit. you went and borrowed one on that day. How on earth do you promote tribalism, regionalism how how how please help me understand your thinking just because of your stomach you are a fool i repeat you are a fool.
    Please just go on the ground and campaign tell the people what you are going to steal next and how much? Like someone has said you the ones in government now why not arrest HH and GBM if you are sure they have stolen?PLEASE WE ARE TIRED OF THOSE RUBBISH STORIES WE WANT TO HEAR MORE REAL ISSUES NOT THAT RUBBISH OK
    USE YOUR BRAINS TO THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN MOUTH AND STOMACH YOU OLD FOOL

  11. This world will never run short of imbecility.Panji is questioning why a rich man wants to be a President.Who told this moron that political leadership is only for poor people.Implying that political leadership should b a preserve of the poor so that they become rich too.Ba Mukukulu mushibila nsala muleya mu August.

  12. THIS PANJI KAUNDA IS MISLEADING THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE. WE HAVE ALL WITNESSED INSTABILITY UNDER EDGAR LUNGU’S LEADERSHIP. IT IS LUNGU WHO HAS AN AGENDA TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY, NOT HH. HH IS 100% ZAMBIAN, HE HAS ONLY ONE COUNTRY TO CHERISH AND CARE FOR, WHICH IS ZAMBIA. HH MEANS WELL FOR ZAMBIA. HH WANTS TO TRANSFORM ZAMBIA INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ECONOMIC STANDARD. HH WANTS EVERY ZAMBIAN TO HAVE A DECENT LIFE. HH IS BRINGING A LOT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERY ZAMBIAN. LUNGU HAS BROUGHT POLICE BRUTALITY. LUNGU HAS BROUGHT CORRUPTION AND LOOTING INTO OUR SOCIETY. PANJI I AM DISAPPOINTED WITH YOU FOR MISLEADING THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE. IF YOURSELF YOU ARE EATING AND BENEFITING FROM OUR RESOURCES, PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT MILLIONS OF US ZAMBIANS ARE SUFFERING AND IMPOVERISHED, ALL…

  13. this maggot should tell the people what they have done and what they shall do for them..not the tribal tag..nonsense

  14. DICTATOR LUNGU HAS INSTRUCTED HIS HIRED CROOKS FROM UGANDA AND ZIMBABWE TO SHUT DOWN THE ONLINE PAPERS. MOST OF OUR ONLINE PAPERS ARE NOW INACCESSIBLE. LUNGU IS EVIL! LUNGU IS A CRIMINAL. LUNGU IS A CROOK AND A LOOTER. THE STRONG WIND OF CHANGE IS SWEEPING ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HH IS CHOSEN TO RULE ZAMBIA THIS TIME AROUND. HH WILL BE PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA THIS AUGUST.

  15. well done panji. GBM in Mpika went tribal on bembas needing to be vice president to an extent of insulting the lozi’s. This year Kumawa must wake up and turnup in numbers to erase the nega nega vote.

  16. This is the message that we need to strongly send to all Copperbelt residents. We all know very well that HH and UPND have no plans for miners except to enrich their now broke companies.
    HH is so desperate because he knows his fate when he loses on 11 August and that’s why he can’t show Zambians his manifesto. How can you run a country with so much diversity on hurriedly 10 points plan which don’t make sense?
    Let HH concentrate on his Satanism instead of cheating Zambians.

  17. Errr I beg to differ with Hon Panji…..I am an Easterner, quite close to royalty I must add, and my uncle (my small father) has confirmed that they are voting for a farmer. If only ba Edgar or even ba Panji could show ulimi wao (farmlands) it would make more sense to vote for PF. We are proudly voting for HH and GBM, fellow Zambians, irregardless of what tribe and region they hail from. This is the definition of One Zambia One Nation (at least that is what my grade 6 teacher, Mrs Sichilongo at Kitwe Primary, taught us)

    • Iwe ka Charles you sound like mwana wa kapaso —- I will disown you, ban u from Ku’mawa and donate you to tongas…. just go smoke chamba and come back to earth!

  18. I can’t wait fo 11 August to come & go so that stop hearing about the “2 shylocks”. We wil ve peace fo 5yrs, after they lose together. After August they shld focus on in-fighting with their bantustan party & c who comes out mo bloody. Boring criminals these shylocks!

  19. Anyone who remembers what Chilufya Sata said about Panji during a campaign in Eastern Province some time back? Chakanga baka, nkuku singa cimedze

  20. Zambia is too small to be divided. It is a shame that this is coming from these big fellows. I fear for the youth if elders have this kind of thinking. How big is Eastern province to think kumawa can deliver? Chundu could not do it and this ECL wants to go the tribal way. Bring it on and get the shock of your lives after August 11.

  21. That Nsenga saying about what is difficult for a duck to swallow can never be swallowed by the chicken was actually not an insult on Panji!
    I am also not trusting the 2 tenderpreneur gang with the future of my lovely children and 1 grand daughter.
    I work and have seen a lot of improvement to conditions of service since the PF improved the wages for civil servants and increased the minimum wage.
    Ichintu, chintu umwene! VOTE for ECL to ensure we continue on a development tangent we have started on.

  22. Well voting is a game of numbers. When fools outnumber the wise, then the day is curried by fools. A 100th person joining fools because a 100th fool!!!

    Literally I have never heard any good reason why Zambians must vote for HH? Never!!! Most people advocating voting for HH are talking about what HH has never done. They are supposing he would do. The sontapo slogan explains it all. ECL has only been in office for less than a term. Of course he was completing the term of the mighty Michael Sata. But in all fairness, tribalism and the like aside, the level of development is beyond what most average Zambians expected. Guys go in the country side and see how PF has tried to balance infrastructure development. In Eastern Province, apart from the new districts all districts towns…

  23. Be sure what you are writing people? ECL Zambia’s Choice 2016, who told you HH is a Satanist. It is not good to speculate. Then tendency of calling every rich person a Satanist is not right. And usually those who do that are shameless lazy bones who know for sure the world is faster than them and they will never catch up. If defaulting in paying tax or money laundering is Satanism then I may agree with you else work smart / hard to be a Zambian version of Dangote.
