Economic and Equity Party (EEP) President Chilufya Tayali has charged that a learned lawyer with an independent mind and social conscious would not support the style of Governance the Patriotic front under President Edgar Lungu is displaying.
He said the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) President Ms. Linda Kasonde has come on the crossfire due to the poor leadership and dictatorial tendencies of President Lungu since he came into power.
Tayali said Linda Kasonde has been talking against the wrong things being done by the PF and the motion of no confidence is meant to get rid of her so that bad leadership and dictatorship can take root at the Law Association of Zambia.
For more he is a complete statement below:
Dear brothers and sisters,
Please consider the article below for your news
===================
Any good lawyer with independent an mind and social conscious, would not support the razzle-dazzle and mediocrity of the PF under President Edgar Lungu.
Ms. Linda Kasonde, like many of us, have come on the crossfire due to the poor leadership and dictatorial tendencies of President Lungu since he came into power.
Linda has been talking against the wrong things being done by the PF and the motion of no confidence is meant to get ride of her so that bad leadership and dictatorship can take root.
Instead of correcting the mistakes done by the PF govt under Edgar Lungu, the PF stooges, directed by one rascal Kaizer Zulu, have waged a war against the first female Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) for challenging them.
President Lungu over-zealously costed this Country’s resources by paying Ministers who were not supposed to be in office. If the President had morals he would have resigned, or at least asked his ministers to pay back as directed by the Court.
When the two seats, Munali and Lusaka Central were nullified President Lungu through his Press aide took a swipe and intimidated judges when he ought to know better.
An order was given by the Revenues Appeals Tribunal (RAT) to open The Post Newspaper, but the police under Kakoma Kanganja as inspector General of Police ignored the order and locked up Fred M’membe, his wife and his assistant, just to please President Lungu.
Kelvin Bwalya Fube (KBF), was on radio this morning publishing the indictment of Linda Kasonde and her executive. I agree with some of the allegations that Linda, seem to have taken a biased position in some issues, especially when she could not defend the judges when Hakainde Hichilema (HH) called them names.
However, most of the reasons given do not warrant a vote of no confidence. The PF and Edgar Lungu must know that, they are the ones in power and what they say or do, has a serious ramification on our governance system and the citizen. Therefore, all of us pay particular attention to what the PF and President Lungu do or say.
HH can talk all he wants, it will not change policy and most likely will not affect many citizens, because essentially is just a citizen running a political party, so people like Linda Kasonde need not to invest so much in policing HH. Nonetheless, a chide, on the opposition as alternative Governments, once in a while is necessary.
Other than that, Linda is doing her job very well and she should be given support by good lawyers who are not PF stooges. All lawyers going for a meeting tomorrow should know that, voting out Linda Kasonde is voting authenticating dictatorship of President Lungu.
President Lungu does not want opposition and he is closing down on any denigration even from comments on social media.
Linda is seemingly a pain in the neck of President Lungu and the PF hence the illegal protest by PF cadres and this motion against Linda.
The problem is not Linda but President Lungu who is doing wrong things, so if there is anyone deserving a vote of no confidence, it is the latter.
However, it is highly appreciated that KBF to the initiative to move this motion because it is within his right as a member of LAZ. This way is better because it will accord LAZ members to make a decision on their leadership.
But as new progressive party (Economic and Equity Party – EEP) which is promoting good governance, transparency and accountability, we are urging all Lawyers to vote against the motion so that Linda can continue.
We also urge the PF to respect the decision of the members of LAZ should their motion fail, and not to engage in chicanery to pass the private bill to repel LAZ Act.
If President Lungu can’t handle the heat of democracy, he can step down, some of us are ready to takeover and take Zambia to higher highest instead of the mediocrity currently going on.
MWAMI ONE take this guy again for defaming the name of president….Monday is Hoilday ka??being dangerful
Free senior Headman Mooya(HH).
Erm no
The president should not be involved and or have undue influence on LAZ
Thanks

Just because he didn’t give you a job iwe kuwe Tayali
People should not mess with the President
Tayali is missing the pleasures of jail!
Criticizing or disrespecting Zambia’s new “god Lungu” is a treasonable offence.
Differing in opinion or disagreeing and speaking freely against this new “god” is a punishable offence, your newspaper or tv station will be shut down, your mobile phone will be shut down, your law associated will be raided and its executive subjected to impeachment.
Its a new order in Zambia.
May the real God in Heaven help us.
Why should the vote no confidence go to Lungu – because the police arrested you?
Because Lungu has no clue how to run a country.
Alexander the great conquered all his enemies and he regretted. The desire to rule without being criticized can be achieved but it won’t work for PF. You will regret. My famous quote…They went for the trade unions,I did not speak out bcoz I was not a trade unionist………….When they came for me, I had no one to speak for me.
Dictators start by silencing those with different opinions.When they are done they silence those who were assisting them. A warming to Ba “Walya”, Fube and others that when your time comes there will be no voice to support. Learn from Winter see how he does have any impact. Tables will turn. The heart of a King is in God’s hands!
CORRECTED VERSION

Ba Tayali Mwasosa
We should not allow PF to take over our freedom of speech, movement, access and other human rights.
Please ba Opposition kindly support the removal of this evil government in power!
I love the way you are coming up young Man,
Not Chi MUSHOTA is ichitafye comment pali PF, MUSHOTA if I find I will fix you.
Zambia turning in to North Korea. Even in Zimbabwe and Uganda they tolerate opposing views. How can you have a government without any one having an opinion?
Bushes ni grade shani uyu Chilufya Tayali? These are the type of guys we used to ambush when we were growing up.
Chilufya Tayali must know that he is just a small insect that is not noticed no matter how much it bites.
Is he suffering from brain damage or what? Which normal person can back Linda Kasonde as LAZ president? This is an important institution which she has run like her kitchen. I was actually amazed that the learned guys selected Linda as LAZ President. Let’s not dilute these institutions. Let Linda Kasonde outline what she has achieved in the year she has been in that seat. Sad story.
@Malinso:
Iwe ka malinso, so you are insulting the learned men and women for electing Linda as LAZ President?
Dictators are made by unruly stupid people. They do not just come up like that. Take for example an opposition leader who calls an elected leader of a nation a hyena.? As if that was not bad enough you now go and block the road of a head of state. Even if you do not recognize him you are a subject by virtue of being a citizen of that country. The country does not belong to ECL neither does it belong to six times loser HH. Tayali mwaiche what are the dictatorial tendencies? please just give one example. You can still be popular by being true to yourself!
@Kev Munde tomba noko pamo na Lungu obe. HH DID NOT block your ka Lungu. was it HH who was on that road alone on that particular day! kwata amano iwee c1kala chawiso.
This guy is not stable, he talks sense this minute and a few minutes later he soils the same good speech he gave a short while aga. Be careful with him.
If this political 1diot thinks publishing rubbish like this will win him votes, he is headed for the political dustbin like his uncle Mike Mulongoti. How can President Lungu intervene in a matter involving LAZ??? A wanabe leader doesn’t even understand what LAZ is?? What a s.t.u.pid clown!!!
Mushota is not a woman but a man.
A man with a small pen!s too.
Surprises will never end. What connection is there to link President Lungu with the dying LAZ which serves the interests of the rich? The love for money has made TAYALI irretrievably INSANE. GBM should sponsor Tayali for psychiatric treatment at CHAINAMA or in India, Zambia must never legalize the consumption of IBANGE/CHAMBA/MBANJE/NYAUPE.
Tayali has relied that you can not eat from the lion’s pot and crocs pot at the same time risk free…that stay in prison woke you up.
Remember who you were singing praises for during the elections…really laughable!!
mwansa what has GBM got to do with tayali? be nice to other people someday . it pleases GOD ….. ARE YOU ADOCTOR TO SAY TAYALI IS INSANE?…..
I WILL PRAY FOR YOU TOMMOROW ,SABBATH
Why does everyone want to blame ECL for everything? let the man just do his job.
He does not even know what the job of president is! He thinks travelling the world as a tourist at taxpayers expense is work!
How many years must we tolerate this F00L while he PRETENDS to know what he is doing? While at the same time he is destroying out economy, corrupting our laws, persecuting Zambian Citizens, giving jobs to criminals and thugs just to continue his ILLEGAL stay in State House?
His JOB? That is the very last thing on this corrupt, crooked and clueless clown who is supposed to be a LAWYER knows.
Just a kind word of advise to Brother Tayali. Take some time to reflect and forge a new direction based on a principled stand. There once was a time you used to speak sense, but right now you are trying too hard to be relevant and if continue behaving like a headless chiken, you will become a mere joker to the Zambians you think you are impressing. Zambians actually think and they can tell when HH, Linda Kasonde or even ECL are wrong. So when Zambians know who is messing up and you try to give us another version- we start thinking you are smoking some strange stuff or you are a joker. Have some respect for the intellect of Zambians and give us some sensible analysis. Just some advise my bro.
Let’s wait and see the principles and future projections of the learned of this blessed nation. Endowed with so much natural resources and potential but can only match with war tone countries or countries with a long standing natural calamity. I will not be surprised if the decision passed tomorrow will fail to demonstrate principle and will be based on the short term circumcistances. Thinking beyond or day and later on a year is a big challenge in this part of the world. KBF, ECL, KZ, CK nice acronyms all are not thinking beyond 1 year. It’s about today and today. Shame!
IT IS HIGH TIME WE ARE PUT IN A FIXED. I WANT TO COMMEND TAYALI THAT BE A MAN AND ONE DAY YOU SHALL SUUCCEED IN YOUR LIFE. CAN I ASK ALL CIVIL SERVANTS AND ALL THE TRADITIONAL CHIEFS THAT YOU HAVE A WORD TO VOICE OUT NOT TO BE CHEATED THAT YOU ARE NON PARTISANS WHEN TIME FOR VOTING THEY COME TO ENGAGE YOU TO VOTE. WHEN YOU ARE A VOTER AS THE MATTER OF FACT YOU ARE A POLITICIAN INCLUDING PASTORS.
NON PARTISANS ARE THE JEHOVAH’S WITNESS WHO DO NOT VOTE BUT THEN WHERE REAL ISSUES ARE CONCERNED THEY ARE ALSO PART OF IT.
MADAM KASONDE LINDA BE STRONG WE ARE MANY WHO WANT YOUR LEADERSHIP. NI JEOULUS FYE ABENA KELVIN MIST
This young man is speaking. Lungu is useless president! All Zambian people should give Lungu vote of no confidence. Frog! Machende president!
Yawn. This man has gone wrong. If you by your own volition come to some troubled water, accept it and correct yourself. Being an angry little boy is so unattractive.
Conflict of interest there.Fube should also be neutral
Who is this boy?
In doveloped word ,uk there do arrest on social media ,so ka tulsi stope lying that it only in Zambia where you gate arrested on social madia .i work under the ministry of justice in uk so I do come across service users who have been victims.
Boza mambala Raph iwe, let you contrymen enjoy freedom of speech and association like you do
