The recent desperate attempts by UPND’s senior officials to create an environment that makes the country appear ungovernable cannot pass without a comment.
Both Mr Hakainde Hichilema, Mr Geoffrey Mwamba and Dr Nevers Mumba should be made aware that Zambians can clearly see through their evil schemes and that they will not succeed.
It should be stated here that their plans will not succeed because these three people are a combination of political failures with long track records of grand failures.
The statement by Dr Mumba that the UPND shall not recognise President Edgar Lungu as a sitting Head of State is both irresponsible and cheap especially coming from a man who once served as Republican Vice President.
As much as Dr Mumba finds it difficult to appreciate the fact that Zambians again voted for President Lungu, we find such utterances completely reckless and plain unacceptable.
Further scrutiny of Dr Mumba’s statement reveals that such utterances are part of a grand scheme to make the country ungovernable. By stating that Zambia does not have a President, Dr Mumba is inciting law abiding citizens to rise up against an elected government using illegal means.
What we also know is that the path that Dr Mumba and his friends in the UPND have taken or appear to be advocating for borders heavily on treason. The truth is that Dr Mumba and everyone in the UPND is fully aware of the constitutional provisions that allows for a sitting Head of State to hand over powers to himself or herself.
So let us make it easier for the UPND leadership to understand, the nation currently has no leadership vacuum at the very top. We have a sitting Head of State who was re-elected and he is holding executive powers. President Lungu therefore deserves to be accorded the necessary respect and decorum that goes with the office he occupies.
Dr Mumba, HH and GBM have had extraordinary opportunities to serve the Zambian people and records are there to show that they abused these privileges and only catered for their own needs.
Dr Mumba was appointed Vice President and there is nothing to show for the time he served as Levy Mwanawasa number two. He was unceremoniously fired because he abused his position to serve his own selfish and inflated ego.
GBM was appointed Defence Minister in the Sata administration and the only thing he achieved during his reign was to award himself all the major contracts under the Ministry of Defence. By that act alone, GBM took away livelihoods of many Zambians who would ordinarily participate in the procurement processes at the Ministry. The only thing GBM achieved was to feed his big belly.
For Mr Hichilema, the man became a billionaire overnight after the state entrusted him with offloading some of its assets. If he was not undervaluing the assets, he was busy creating dubious companies through which he bought shares in the same companies he was asked to offload.
He ended up sitting on the Board of a chain of Hotels and later became the Chairman of the same Board of the company he was tasked to assess in preparation for privatisation.
The records of these UPND officials clearly shows they cannot be entrusted with public affairs. They are political failures who have no moral authority to question President Lungu’s record in government.
GBM failed Zambians and the people of Kasama Central. Dr Mumba failed the Zambian people with his poor decision making and Mr Hichilema deprived Zambians of assets that belonged to them all. Through that process, he singlehandedly sent hundreds of Zambians into destitution and many of them died due to depression arising from joblessness.
All things considered, the three failed politicians should stop making threats against the choice of Zambians who re-elected President Lungu into office. They are failed politicians who should seriously consider retiring from politics as their record so far does not inspire any confidence.
We all know Kaponya (HH) is a useless Harsse Hole. GBM is a violent retard. Nevers Mumbwe is a piece of SHlT. Miles and Scott Mmembe are FO0LS. Why hold the people of Zambia to ransom?
We have retired them to the political grave this year. Well said Honorable Lusambo.
Calm down and show some maturity, Broken Hill Man.
In what capacity are you speaking? This is why we say there is poor leadership in PF any ‘body’ can yap anything, anytime, anywhere next it will be that chanda boy.
Its like all the i d i o t s are trying to outdo each other.
Hikainde Syndrome has fallen apart!
That picture says it all – Parade of foo’ls! with blank stares on their faces. These men have no souls.
If you call someone who got 49% of the vote a political failures then you need your head to be examined, its more like saying 49% of voters are failures, its an insult to these peoiple and as long as we have people in PF who do not recognise the fact that UPND are a force in the politics of Zambia then we are going no where.
HH is exercising his constitutional farts and no one likes grown men farts….
Sounds like one and the same thing; political failure and failure at leadig the country!
@1.5 come out of the shell of being owned by HH. It’s hh who lost not voters. There are alot of people who voted for him and are already regretting having voted for him. Avoid mob thinking. To some extent, I think the cartel are using HH. Think big
LUNGU IS UNDERMINING THE CONSTITUTION FOR SELFISH REASON WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY. NATIONAL LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT PERSONAL INTERESTS. THE CONSTITUTION MUST BE RESPECTED BY ALL.
FYEBE FYUMFWE FIMBWI FI. TONGAS MUST ALSO WAKE UP FROM THEIR SLEEP. THEY CAN’T TELL US THAT UNDER 5 IS THE ONLY INTELLIGENT TONGA IN TONGALAND FIT TO HEAD THE TONGA-ONL PARTY. CAN’T YOU GUY FIND A SALABLE AND INTELLIGENT TONGA? I THOUGHT YOU GUYS ARE THE MOST INTELLIGENT ZAMBIANS AS YOU (RIGHTLY?) CLAIM. I AM NOW BEGINNING TO QUESTION IF YOU TRULY ARE IF YOU HAVE ONLY ONE INTELLIGENT MAN IN THE WHOLE BANTU BOTATWELAND. WAKE UP YOU GUYS- FOR FIVE YEARS DESPITE VOTING FOR HIM (100%), HAKAFILWA HAGAIN HAS NEVER TAKEN YOU CHAPS ANYWHERE. HAKAFILWA HAGAIN, IS NOW DISPLACING YOU FROM LANDS IN PREFERENCE FOR HIS CATTLE. ANYWAY, HAKESHAKO HAGAIN MU 2021.
There are failures in political dispensation of any democratic country in the world;its thru such kind of opposition leaders like sata and Hh that most zambians hav enlightened their view of policy outlook .there ar decisions the pf govt u-turn in the past five years due to pressure from hh and other opposition parties.zambia will on develop when the elected officials see other political parties as partners not enermies ;zambia is better off having these political heavy weights around than for us to go back to one party state.education and exposure lacks in many of our elected officials.
Ati HONOURABLE! What school did he go to “BOTH” three of them?
Iwe @bantu botatwe, which election are you referring to where HH got 49% of the vote?
REALITY CHECK; Percentage of the TOTAL VALID votes: ECL = 50.35%, HH = 47.63%, The rest = 2.02%, Total = 100%
So where are you getting the 49%? Out of your “you know what…”?
Absolutely!! I couldnt agree more
SPOT ON HON. LUSAMBO!!!
YOU FORGOT TO ADD HOW NEVERS ABUSED HIS POSITION AS HIGH COMMISSIONER IN CANADA TO ENRICH HIMSELF.
NOW FELLOW ZAMBIANS, IMAGINE THESE THREE MUSKETEERS IN CHARGE OF GOVERNMENT RESOURCES???
WE SHOULD THANK GOD FOR SAVING US FROM THEIR RAPACIOUS HANDS!!!
Bowman Lusambo MP
hahahahahahahahahahahakkikkikikikikikikikikikheeeehehehehehhiiiiiii
Hon. Bowman C. Lusambo, MP-Kabushi please just shut up, you were beaten at Soweto Market by PF thugs and made to cry like a baby, you are an undeucated failure in life that has no knowledge of your own. Please stop sleeping with your wife’s young and elder sister and change your habits. Why do you also attack people that are not your class
@2 HOW CAN HON. BOWMAN C. LUSAMBO BE A FAILURE AFTER WINNING THE ELECTIONS. I THOUGHT FAILURES WERE THE LOSERS IN THE PREVIOUS ELECTIONS- AT LEAST FOR NOW UNTIL 2021.
@Mary ZImba I always thought this Bowman was an idi yot when he barked at PF. Now he is chewing the bone with them! This MP position is the first formal job Bowman is undertaking! I can’t wait to listen to his maiden speech in parliament! Or perhaps, they would have done a “Masumba” on him at the Ministry of Education Grade 12 Checking Unit!
Bowman speaks a lot of sense – and he will definitely be a change for Kabushi in terms of effectiveness. Irrespective of whether he was beaten at Soweto or his social life, he is a forceful energetic, and does not seem to be as dull as some bloggers here. What he has said here is right on. Let’s learn to accept that the three stooges are just a bunch of clowns and ignore their inflammatory tantrums. Insulting Bowman is not going to help us.
@ MARY ZIMBA.
HON LUSAMBO HAS WRITTEN THE TRUTH
PLEASE COUNTER HIM WITH FACTS
THE THREE MUSKETEERS (HH, GBM AND NEVERS) ARE SOME OF THE MOST SELFISH INDIVIDUALS IN ZAMBIA WHO SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN STATE HOUSE.
THEY ONLY LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES
ASK THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED WITH THEM AT CLOSE RANGE
This is just a PF hungry rat.
Talk about how you will improve the lives of your constituents and what you will do, hopless hungry koswe.
The headline kinda made me skip the story. Without reading it reeks of the typical ‘ruling’ party stunt. Emerging Dictator ED plays humble and peaceful with messages of love and faux cultural camaraderie while within hours the mouthpieces start offloading vitriol which oddly enough is promoted with glee by LT. Slow news propaganda day? Bring on Monday.
For sure HH and the group batekanye or they be thrown into the dustbin
greedy is like this: you get a bigger position somewhere and in stead of leaving your current position to others, you decide to give it to your daughter. when both your daughter and your new company fail, you riot and start behaving in a very disrespectful way. why are we like this? if your daughter looses an election, how do you expect someone else far from your region to win? am just joking.
Well said, these guys have rebuttal to what you have said. All you will get as a response are insults. ig nore them for we know who they are, unsocialised people who are still living in the stone age mentality. HH failed and continue to failing to share with others how he got rich so quickly. this shows you he stole!
We have failed to understand how people who managed to get almost half of the presidential votes cast can be failures. How people who got the second largest number of MPs can be called failures. What is the definition of a political failure? We think this is completely off tangent. The honourable member should have stood has an independent to show is political capacity like did some members on the copperbelt and succeeded than riding on PF popularity then claim success.
Good for using right phrase “PF popularity ” So you agree that PF is popular and UPND is not popular. Teach your colleagues this fact.

THE PEOPLE – In the earlier Constitution it said “First Past the Ballot”. In the new Constitution it says “50%+1”. UPND did not get 50%+1, and they lost, period.
I agree. Both of the three are poritico feliaz
Hon Lusambo don’t mind Mumba,chipuba cha muntu Nevers!Viva Mighty Patriotic Front,,,tuleteka
WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT ECL IS A DANGEROUS DICTATOR? I WILL BE GLAD TO SEE THAT WE ARE RULLED BY ZAMBIA ARMY FOR THE FAILURE OF DELIVERANCE BECAUSE LUNGU IS A LET DOWN.
LUSAMBO SHOULD COME TO HIS SENSES THAT THEY HAVE OVERTHROWN MUMBA MMD PRESIDENT WHO WAS CLEARLY VOTED IN DURING THE LEGAL CONVERSION. IF LUSAMBO IS SENSIBLE, HE COULD HAVE REBUKED FORMER LUNTE MP WHO IS CRYING FOR A POSITION FROM LUNGU IF HE WON THE CASE.
PFs are thieves together with ECZ who felt the whole weight of HH, GBM and Mumba. It had to take the entire govt machinery to meet the ferocious campaign, they mounted, to steal their vote. To test all this, just ask Zambians if they know Dundumwenzi Fever after 11/08/16 elections! ECL is a reject in the entire Zambia only his belove ECZ spent sleepless nights from promised bribery! Mind you the war is not over, unless in your dreams!!!
Well said.
Lungu and PF had to use GRZ abusing public funds and blocking independent media coupled with vote stealing for him to get only 50 % of the vote.
Plenty plenty Very much full moral defeat for a party and lungu who spent 10 billion US only to rejected in this manner.
But thieves have no morals or pride. Just like mugabe who is being rejected by his people but forcing himself on them.
Hahaha are you sure of what you are saying? ECL a reject?? Dundumwezi just fulfilled what CK said about the cowtherners.
These council officials who represented ECZ must be advertised in one of the paper as being the personalities who attempted to destroyed our democracy in this age and century! Malupenga being the lead fool!
As Zambians we shall live to remember that their lived an evil person pausing as a leader and yet morally evil, like some evil leaders around the world, in the name Edger Chagwa Lungu!
bwana Bowman, this is not time for you to start attacking leadership of the opposition. Remember that there are thousands of well meaning Zambians who voted for HH and GBM even in your own constituency. By insulting UPND leadership, you will be directly or otherwise insulting the million + Zambians who voted for UPND some of them living within your constituency. As an MP elect, it is time for you to strategise on how you shall serve the people well and win the hearts of those respectable Zambians who voted for the opposition. Ypu will not be called honourable for nothing.
Unless you attacking pf leaders. Have you heard the insults that Gbm is hailing at the president. Ecl didn’t have people that voted for him. Grow up and stop complaining at every chance you get. Leave Hon. Lusambo alone.
Bowman,remember how you were busy idolizing Nevers Mumba?:we have not forgeotten.You even ended harassing the old man ba Kachingwe.And today you are honourable?To whom?Just shut up and enjoy PF money.
Eh. The man has not even set foot in parliament yet. Sunday is supposed to be the holiest day of the week in this Christian nation and here is a supposed leader spewing insults. Shame.
Well said Bowman. Hh and his cronies dont know the implications of their actions. ECL is both incumbert and president elect. Suppose there was another incumbert and another president elect would the incumbert step aside while the petition is being heard. Off course not. The incumbert only leaves office when president elect is sworn in.
Which part of the new constitution says this?
HH is not a political failure,edgar deep down his heart knows that hh is a political heavyweight compared to him a drinking heavy weight.imagine this edgar wherever he goes,church,traditional ceremonies its all about hh and people think he is telling the truth no its not.zambians be careful with edgar he has come to destroy this once beautiful nation.cry mother zambia.ALMIGHTY save us from this calamity.
To the contrary Mr Lusambo the trio are not failed politicians they are men who were courageous enough to stand up offer opposition and try and sell their vision to the Zambians. Against all odds and difficult times the majority opted for continuity this doesn’t make HH and his followers any less a politician. Politics is 60% organization 40% luck and lady luck didn’t shine on HH in 2015 HH had his greatest opportunity to enter plot 1 but he fluffed it in 2016 with PF reeling from the economic and financial crunch, poor fiscal discipline, regional el Niño leading to drought, power outage and general discontent once again HH galloped out of the stirrups like a gay stallion and just as he got to the stretch he ‘invited’ PF rejects and lost the plot…
I have never heard this Lusambo retard talk about things like improving Zambia’s GDP. Can this chap start talking about these matters instead of wasting our time attacking the people we voted for? Silly Lusambo!
Like in football, he must be coming from the under 17 cadre ranks. If not mistaken he surely did unpalatable things whilst in those ranks. But for what it’s worth, he’s now a honourable and let him enjoy the title. Let’s see how he will excel in taking Zambia out of its current quagmire
I think it’s fair to say that it’s always objective to put things into perspective. What failure is the gentleman talking about, mob failure or economic failure because one cannot even start to compare. I leave it there.
Failure refers to a person who has been losing elections since 2006 for a record 6 times.
Some people used to pass with distinction in other subjects at G12 but only for 49% in English language but still considered them failures but they couldn’t get the certificate. How then can you qualify hh? Zambias population is 14million and the number of voters doesn’t even make 1/8 of zambians. To correct your thinking those tribalists who voted for hh don’t amount to 47% of zambians. If we are to go by population Ecl having won in 7 provinces can score far much better than hh. So hh is a failure period.
Typos yours to correct
Fact of the matter is that Zambians will remain down as long as PF is in power.
If you are looking for a govt which will end suffering I encourage you to seek the kingdom of God. I live overseas and I can confirm to you that people are suffering here as well. The difference is zambians make it without credits while people here survive on credits which has robbed them hapiness and freedom.
They are a bunch of power hungry fellows. HH what/where to next? Becareful of Nevers who is looking for opportunities in established political parties. He truly has a record of failures and destructions. He is no different from HH a five time loser. Explains why he is a bitter man and wants to do anything to try and wrestle power from ECL.
Power hungry people never have kind words for their competitors. The way they see other fellow humans is akin to the behaviour of a street dog that has grabbed a bone. Genuine leaders show empathy because they are comfortable in their own skin because they have nothing to fear.
Shut up you Kaponya without integrity. I never voted for Edgar, I have never voted for PF because I have always believed they are clueless in running an economy. I have proved right on that, one just has to look at the deficit we are facing, civil servants can’t plan because they don’t know when their pay day is. Then your great President wants to create unnecessary expenses by creating a ministry of religion to accommodate his Muslim brothers. So Ba Bowman just because people in Masala who cannot analyse economic issues voted for you does not give you a right to insult our intelligence. By the way..ECL is my fellow tribes man, he can be guaranteed that he will never see my vote nor that of my children
LT is boring now. Just parading PF CRAP.
Former die hard MMD.
Hon. Bowman C. Lusambo, MP-Kabushi this is the kin of REMINDERS , which us logical and well meaning Zambians need to hear from time to time. By now Mr. Mumba you would the one heading the MINISTRY OF RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS. This is what happens when you want to go ahead of God’s plan for your life. (PLAYING GOD) . Always remember GOD’S LAW SUPERSEDES EARTHLY LAW.WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT IS JUST HOW THINGS ARE.
Bowman is now an MP …really laughable…just yesterday he was MMD today he is PF…no wonder politics as whole is a mess.
the moron bowman has spoken nonsense..get lost..i pity the people of Kabushi..kekekekekekekekee
Just a comment on FAILURE. In any game, you can score as much as trillion points but if another person scores a point above you,then you have lost. In exams we say below cut-off point = FAIL
HH.FAILURE kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
So stealing and cheating is what counts for success in Zambian politics?
PF should just pay back what they have stolen from the time Parliament was dissolved on 12th May to 11th August, 2016. Zambians are demanding what ECL stole from the govt treasury before we even start talking about presidential petition. ECL must face the criminal charges in courts of law.
Lusambo on Nevers and GBM you are right, facts are there to prove but on HH,those accusations are lies of an informed,illetrate,and envious person. I don’t support UPND but my values do not subscribe to lies and slander.Uneducated nation is more dangerous than a landmine.
JUDGE FOR YOURSELF WHO’S A BETTER LEADER:-
Between HH & LUNGU, who would clamp down private Media?
Between HH & LUNGU, who would use POLICE & CADRES to victimize anyone opposing view?
Between HH & LUNGU, who would bring back IMF?
Between HH & LUNGU, who would DEPLETE the treasury & borrow carelessly?
Between HH & LUNGU, who would declare state of emergency?
Between HH & LUNGU, who would bribe High Court Judges?
Between HH & LUNGU, who would force DeadNBC to black-out opposition rallies?
Between HH & LUNGU, who would cancel opposition party rallies?
Between HH & LUNGU, who would use state machinery (ZAF) for campaign?
Anyone who celebrates while our DEMOCRACY is being stolen in exchange for 30PIECES of SILVER is an ID1OTIC STYOPET F00L & needs to be deported to DRC…
Ok, HH I will spare him because I don’t know him …..But Nevers has no principles ……Gbm is uncouth
Spot on Bowman
Ok, so whats the news from the concourt??? Another adjournment??? I’m glad my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus!
Bowman u are un***** .don’t compare the three Presidents to your self.
Good and mature analysis by the MP.
