Electoral Expert MacDonald Chipenzi has said the two former heads of states Dr. Kenneth Kaunda and Rupiah Bwedzani Banda may not advocate for peace indaba to curb political tension in Zambia between the ruling PF and opposition UPND because the duo have partisan stances.
In an interview, Chipenzi said the involvement of Dr. Kaunda and Rupiah Banda may be disputed by some interested stakeholders owing to the fact that duo were seen backing the current leadership in the previous elections.
“Kaunda and Rupiah Banda in the last elections backed President Edgar Lungu” he said
Meanwhile, Chipenzi has since called on President Edgar Lungu‘s Press aide Amos Chanda to clarify what the head of state meant when he said the United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU) should not to interfere in Zambia’s internal affairs.
Chipenzi further noted that the United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU) fund many projects in Zambia, adding that it is normal for them to show concerns in the country they fund.
“United Nations (UN) and European Union (EU) fund many projects in Zambia and it’s normal for them to show concerns in the country they found” Chipenzi.
Nonsense, have you issued any statement ofoChief Mpezeni blind support for HH when as a traditional leader he must be neutral?
Leave former presidents out of the misdeeds of HH. They too have rights to support any candidate and they have not been inciting violence or Armageddon as all HH sympathizer have been doing. Even RB when he lost to Sata, he cried but maintained respect for the office of the presidency. Your HH refuses that we have a president in Zambia and claims he is (treasonable behaviour) the president, have you counseled him on that, he had 14 days to prove his claims and he brew up his chance, have you talked to him about that? Where then do you get the wisdom to talk about what you are talking about – sit down!
Unpatalleled drivel not worth honoring with comments beyond advising the young man to gain brainpower for public didcourse. Very sacrilegious chap. Blaming every Xambian not good medicine for your quagmire.
Chipenzi is a UPND expert he wont think otherwise.
You chaps have been misleading HH that there is no President nor Government in Zambia and he is infallible with liberty to dare the constitution and rule of law. After being challenged by the rule of law, you want to blame esteemed senior statesmen? You crossed the law, enjoy the consequences. Leave KK and RB alone to enjoy time with their families in retirement.
Ba Lusaka Times, don’t elevate Chipenzi, a UPND cadre to electoral expat. Chipenzi is a hypocrite who was fired from the Post newspapers for spying for UPND. Chipenzi’s comments are never neutral so leave KK and RB alone.
Flashback
On 20th June 2016 Lungu said: “HH nga akakana ukusumina ama results akamona efyo nkamucita (If HH refuses to accept the results, he will see what I will do to him).
This treason case is about vengeance, pure evil of lungu. This is the type of childish leader who abuses police & justice system to carry out his vengeance.
What were you doing in the 14 days?
@Muni.on.io:
Don’t worry – we were not fck.ing your mother! Ar.se.whore!
SO MUSHOTA HAS CHANGED HIS NAME TO MUNONE?
I will let Mushota respond to that.
No I think Osha is right. The think of a wild animal is the same as that of Mushota
Hey guys, leave KK alone, he is old and needs to rest. He fought for your independence in the 1960s and you still want him to continue fighting for you in this century?
True my brother. Please let the African icon rest.
indeed the two old buffoons are useless now..VJ is even far much better than them..they can’t resolve this mess they created..free eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeefrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@Intelligence
Ulemu ni wabwino. If you can call KK and Rupiah old buffoons, am sure you can call your dad and uncles old buffoons.
This is a tip of the ice berg of how Upnd would be if allowed into power. Even if they are wrong we do rebuke old people especially with insults by intelligence.
KK and RB are on government payroll and cant speak evil of the current government. They will speak when their skins are affected only.
We are this constitutional mess because of previous leaders and greed politicians…..
They cared more of their affairs than the nation.
Bostwana was a poorer country than us but today Bostwana has better education system, stronger currency than South Africa, good laws, better democracy than Zambia
First of you must realize that Botswana has been ruled by one party and one family because its population is not as diverse as Zambia. There’s virtually no opposition to talk about and to me this is a great blessing since the government will spend less time thinking about being reelected.
Good education system in Botswana??? Are you dreaming??? So when do tswana students go to South Africa, Zambia and even Zimbabwe before it collapsed for their education? Robmwale you are an empty head. Think before you blog.
Let the old man(KK)rest.He is too old to solve problems for young men like you Chipenzi.You want the old man to die of Bp.He fought for your freedom,you want him to solve self inflicted problems.The man should be left alone to eat his sweat.If you cannot solve you own problems,let the old man have a peaceful space.Do not bother him to start tackling your problems.He needs to have a rest.Why are you failing as young men to solve your own problems?
THE TWO ARE KNOWN TO HAVE COINED THE FOLLOWING SLOGANS:-
LATEST, WAKOKO NI WAKO NI ZIKO YANYOKO?!
OLD SLOGAN:- one zambia, one nation, one nation one leader and that leader? ??????? wamuyayaya……
we have not yet forgotten anyway!
Chipenzi you want everyone to be on your side if they are not then they are partisan, your enemy. What do you say about the Catholic Bishops who are supporting your hh. Each one of us has a right to chose who to support.
Honesty is the bedrock of human conduct…. KK and RB had misplaced priorities during their reigns…They had success here and there as there was no leadership vacuum during their reign.
Currently , they have exhibited a active role in politics when the constitution bar them from participating as they claim to have retired….
The constitution was before their nose and it benefited them . They retired as they were paid their presidential emoluments and enjoy 80% of the current President salary, three trips abroad every month and free medical expenses.
Yes I agree Banda and Kaunda are biased so they shouldn’t even come into the picture. Banda is especially very very biased and could make the worst arbitrator possible. The UN has failed to intervene in Burundi despite the killing of many opposition members there 6,000 by the latest count. Meaning in the issue of interference raised by Lungu, Chipenzi’s argument doesnt hold.
Tanzania has expelled a UN representative for interfering in Zanzibar internal affairs.
I heard him saying people are spreading false hoods that I am killing democratic governance in Zambia, I immediately realised that he is not aware of what he is doing. And we just need to forgive him. Maybe it is the Kampyongos misleading him.
@kinthu True only Vernon Mwaanga is non partisan as far as Upnd /Chipenzi are concerned.
There has been raids and arrests for tax evasion at a few premier clubs in England today. Now in Zambia this could be termed political.
Call a spade a spade—-KK (how I wish Mandela was Zambian & alive) is too partisan, sadly because as an old statesman he should have been above party politics. I respect recognize him as a former President but at the same time I have to state that KK has blood on his hands too, he killed his political opponents too & Lungu is following in his steps. As for RB, the man is too incompetent & I am even surprised that Zambians elected him as a President. I can sum up Zambia in one short sentence: Blind men leading blind people & that country is going nowhere until people realize that the politicians are using them to insult each other on a tribal level while them politicians are amassing stolen national wealth. Just look at the tribal insults you are piling on each other and you will all…
There’s no political role KK can play now, he has run his race. Let him rest. In 2006 he supported HH and the UDI but Hichilema lost terribly. Only disjointed fellows will look to KK to mediate in any political impasse as of now. Leave him alone
MacDonald you are the hypocrite and tribalist of the moment. You as a political surgeon why have you always supported UPND through and through. I have never heard you critised HH. Is he as holy as the Angel Gabriel. Also support Edgar Lungu. There are so many things that he Lungu has done for this country. You see Mr chipenzi, UPND has never ruled this country but there you are you went to school and you have an office and a microphone to be heard with. Was UPND there when you were achieving those things? At least learn to appreciate others. LEAVE KAUNDA AND BANDA ALONE. KAUNDA HAS NEVER BEEN POLITICALLY INCLINED LIKE you may perceive him to be. HE BUILT THIS country’s MOST INFRASTRUCTURE SO TO SPEAK fairly much to the satisfaction of our great forefathers ie too numerous to itemize…
After failing to attract attention Hakainde Sunny Hichilema decided to go all out to ensure that he was as rude and as insolent as possible so he behaved so badly that he got arrested. This is the only way he wanted to be relevant to the Zambian politics after losing presidential elections at least five times. His party(UPND) which does not have any presidential candidate worth of the name must maintain the same person who has lost several times. And yet they (UPND) want to claim to be champions of democracy what a shame. Lungu the one Hichilema thinks is a non entity has beaten him (HH) twice. To cover the shame he claims votes were stolen when he knows too well that his destiny is opposition.
There is no political tension in Zambia! There is just one immature boy (Under 5) who thinks he is big enough but he is very little and immature in decision making process! He will NEVER be president in Zambia!
KAUNDA is too old. Leave him out of this. Lungu is very stubborn, nothing will work.
Iwe Mapenzi, don’t leave you excrete in the water that the two former states men drink. Those two people are credible and you should not involve them in the battle that you the UPND stated yourselves without thinking of the consequence! You Mapenzi we know you are UPND and whatever statement you make is always in favour of your party and your HH. There is NO way that the two former presidents can support your political party that is violent!
Guys leave my HH alone,he is enjoying life in prison. That’s my boy of nonsense he is going to be there for the least of his life. When people say don’t do this that’s what u at the end they lock and u complain viva hh at chimbwakazi
