Speaking when he featured on Radio Christian Voice on Friday, YALI President Andrew Ntwewe said Hakainde Hichilema was not an ordinary citizen but a leader of the biggest opposition party in the country hence the need to be put under house arrest.
He said political bickering has put the country on stand still and that the President should consider asking the courts to put HH under house arrest as a gesture that he was willing to reconcile the nation.
Mr Ntwewe said President Lungu was the most powerful individual in the country and that he must use the power wisely.
He further Mr Ntwewe explained that what his organisation was calling for was for the opposition leader to go through the due process of the law but that we as a country should also be cognizant of the fact that Mr Hichilema was a leader with followers.
He said the opposition have an agenda to ensure that he fails in most areas of governance so that they can use his failures as a campaign tool in 2021 but it was up to him to ensure that he moves away from politicking to delivering on the promises he made during the campaign.
And Ntwewe says the President is living under the shadow of his late predecessor hence failing to admit the challenges he inherited.
He said President Lungu found a crippled economy destroyed under the leadership of PF founding father Michael Sata but that he has failed to tell the nation the main challenges he found because he doesn’t want to upset the PF support base.
Meanwhile Mr Ntwewe has called for the axing of minister incharge of youths and sports for what he termed “the mediocre way he is running the ministry.”
He said Moses Mawere was inept and that he has massively underperformed in a ministry that should look after over 52% of the country’s population.
He said the ministry Mr Mawere is presiding over was a serious ministry which needs someone who understands the challenges youths are facing and is able to offer practical solutions.
And Mr Ntwewe has called for inclusiveness from those in power in the the governance of the country saying President Lungu should take a leaf from late third republican President Levy Mwanawasa who won by 29% but managed to unity the country during his first term.
He said though President Lungu won by more than 50% he should realise that over 45 percent did not vote for him hence should strive to include them in the developmental agenda of the nation.
Its monthend again. people have to talk for their salaries.
Its amazing, even forgot there was such a minister Mawere. What do they do these guys, they can’t even make it to cosafa team.
@shooterz,What Ntwewe has said has substance,we call it Wisdom.Our President must pray for wisdom to rule this great nation just like Solomon did.1 Kings 3: 9 Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?”. If the president continues with the advise of Kaiser & group woe unto him.These terms like “dictator” will be his legacy,mark my words.Those youths terrorizing people at graveyards shows that PF is being held at ransome,even Kampyongo must be careful,those guys have no loyalty to anyone,only to their bellies.
Nonsense!
month end indeed ,you have to buy bunga
But Ntewewe has not articulated Mawere’s failures. Just to say he has failed without listing the failures is not good enough.
Mr. Ntewewe, are you suggesting that HH is a more important political figure than KK? KK is a well respected international political figure than HH and yet he was detained at Chimbokaila until Nyerere negotiated for his release. I suspect Ntewewe was a kid in primary school when this happened so he can’t recall the event at all. .
Ntewewe should go back to school to understand governance.first and for most in your article u agree that president lungu won elections by more than 50% that’s why he was declared winner now my simple question is why didn’t u Ntewewe advise your fellow foolish Tonga man to accept defeat?2.why is he refusing to recognise the republican president?the answer is TRESON.u want minister of sports to be fired for your own selfish gain and agenda coz u have failed to outline were a minister has failed.dont be like your fellow fool kambwili who ever day wants the president to fire ministers for no reason but just because he too was fired.u talked of president lungu is the most powerful man in Zambia and should instruct the court to put hh under house arrest yes I agree with u that the…
