President Lungu is a democrat and not a dictator-Miles Sampa

Share

FILE: President Edgar Lungu share alight moment with Commerce deputy minister Miles Sampa (r) at Chawama Basic school on March 10,2015, where he witnessed the filling in of nomination papers of Chawama Constituency PF Parliamentary Candidate Lawrence Sichalwe

Former Matero Member of Parliament Miles Sampa has defended President Edgar Lungu against accusations that he is sliding into a dictator.

And Mr Sampa has advised expelled PF senior members Chishimba Kambwili and Mwenya Musenge to pause, take time and reflect.

Mr Sampa who founded the defunct United Democratic Front said he still believes that President Lungu is a democratic.

He also stated that he is still a member of the PF but serving a three-year suspension.

“This means I am collectively supportive of all decisions made by the Party and by the President. At the moment I am busy with personal errands and school as I seek my PHD (opted for non-honorary).”

He added, “My first central committee meeting under President Lungu as Chairman took over 8 hours as he allowed everyone to talk and express their opinion before taking a consensus position on a matter. My immediate impression then and still now is that he is a democrat and not a dictator. His decisions are a summation of the majority in a group of authority,” Mr Sampa said.

“My take on the unfortunate subject of my brothers Hon Chishimba Kambwili and Hon Mwenya Musenge is that they should pause, take time and reflect. As history may have it, the two were about the most vicious advising me a few years ago to remain in PF after I had made some emotional and irrational decisions against the Party,” he said.

“Armed with their counselling then, I genuinely wish to reciprocate and give them similar advice. I submit to them that they be remorseful, meek and seek reconciliation with PF and President Edgar Chagwa Lungu. Chances are that they too may be given a 3 years leave of absence in which there is much to learn from once in isolation.”

Mr Sampa said the alternative routes they may wish to embark on are hardly ideal and not worth venturing into.

“I speak from experience and as they say “ukushusha ilungu; kwendamo” elo ” ukwali insoke takwafwile bantu”.”

He added, “I have also come to learn that in politics, there is no accounting terms such FIFO (First in First Out) or LIFO (Last in, First Out) and LILO (Last in Last Out). It’s the best player of the moment according to the coach that makes the team but that does not mean those on the bench or those substituted cannot play on another day.”

“As CK has loudly proclaimed, ‘loyalty defines a man’, I have come to learn further that ‘ patience defines a man’ as well. Your loyalty and patience should be with PF and President Lungu both in your good or rough times.”

Mr Sampa stated that politics at whatever level is therefore all about loyalty, patience and discipline.

“As for me and anyone that so believed or still believes in me, let’s build loyalty towards PF and President Edgar Changwa Lungu now and for however many years to come. I have also come to learn from experience that President Lungu is a loving, forgiving man and is the President of PF and Zambia because of his historic Loyalty, Patience and Discipline.”

    • ONE ECL is the most democratic leader in all of Africa and that is a fact!

      The sa.tan.ic United Dunderheads (UPND) and their tribal Lord Human Hyena (HH) at their core are evil cretins! They know it themselves which is ehy they are full of hate speech, false rumours, inciting hate etc how can such evil mangwams ever rule? No wonder UNPD have been curse to remain a perpetual party of losers like their Homo Habilis (HH) cretin!

    • NJALA YA MUNYOKOLA.

      Everyone knows Miles Sampa is spineless man. If he had stood his ground & fought off the Evil Malawian Dictator lungu at PF convention, we wouldn’t be sitting with this problem called lungu.

      Today Sampa is PF, tomorrow behind UPND, next week he forms UDF, now we don’t even know where he is.

      BE A MAN MR. SAMPA, GROW SOME BALLS!!! Nobody likes cowards.

    • Job seekers reloaded, you are the wrong person to comment considering your self inflicted state of vulnerability.

    • Can Sampa throw some light on the cold case of the murdered woman in Matero who was probably ‘skinned alive’ years ago now and when he was a serving MP?

    • He sounds very young Miles. I like him so much

      This however is a realisation that Lungu is likely going to be the president in 2021.

      I have a PhD

      Thanks

    • MWAICE, MILES SAMPA WASOSA. AT LEAST I CAN NOTICE A LOT WISDOM IN YOU NOW. THAT’S THE WAY TO GO. THAT IS EXCELLENT ADVICE YOU ARE GIVING YOUR TWO ELDER BROTHERS. I ALSO TOTALLY BELIEVE YOU THAT ECL IS NOT AND WILL NEVER BE A DICTATOR. HE IS JUST A HUMBLE PRESIDENT AND PEOPLE FOOLISHLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS HUMBLE AND DEMOCRATIC STATE SUCH THAT EVEN CHAPS WHO DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ZAMBIA CAN TODAY (SUCH AS MALEMA), STAND UP AND SAY ECL IS A DICTATOR. TOTAL IGNORANCE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN ZAMBIA.

    • INTERESTING READINGS FROM YOUR STATEMENT YOUNG MAN! WE ADVISED, GUY AND DR. GBM CONTAMINATED YOU.
      =====================================
      Its never too late prodigal son. I wish I could hear the same from one MULENGA SATA. Words of wisdom out there, I wish CK could heed your timely advise. It’s not about the money one makes but the heeding to the voice of reasoning. Running like a head chicken could prove costly.

  1. MS IS VERY RIGHT ECL IS NOT A DICTATOR. HOWEVER, HERE IN ZAMBIA ONCE YOU TAKE THAT TROUTE, THEN YOU WILL BE COBSIDERED AS “NJALA YAMUNYOKOLA”. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR EMPLOYMENT FROM PF BECAUSE YOU ARE NOW STARVING.

    • Job seeker who once said the truth about. Now he is back tracking because he wants a job from the brutal dictator.

  2. I must without any fear proclaim that very few men can go through what Mazoka, Sata and HH have gone through. To be in opposition is not easy, however have no fear those who stand with HH are many and God will rise him soon in a very suprising epsode of events. Those that are worshiping a man who simply inherited a throne must be very worried.

  3. Dont compare Mazoka and Sata with HH
    I dont think God can be on the side of a mean person like HH
    Mazoka and Sata were God’s gifts to all ZAMBIANS.
    HH is a gift to you and your tribe

    • “HH is a gift to you and your tribe”

      That’s What you PF rats said about mazoka when he was alive….now he is good.. .

  4. Miles is a seasoned professional who was just misguided and misled by evil and greedy characters like M’membe and Scott to fulfill their selfish plans. If he had respected his uncle’s wishes he would have developed as a politician today. The “insala” mantra is not true for him as he has a trucking business and is an experienced banker and economist who can work anywhere and offer consultancy services as he is still young and vibrant. Unlike the washed up Mulongoti who can’t even pay to get his vehicles from garages, Miles is way above that as he has a fleet of trucks and properties to his name. Good luck in your endevours, brother!!

    • And where do you think the contracts from his trucking business come from? Once the boma squeezes you out of their contracts ninshi wajama.. Njala yamunyokola!!!

    • Arms folded,

      What’s the matter with you UPND guys. Miles happens to be someone I know very, very well. In fact, he is my neighbour. He is not saying these things because njala yamunyokola! He comes across as someone who is being truth, objective, and mature in his utterances. Before he joined the PF, while in the PF, after he was expelled and now, he is still very, very well to do. He is not starving at all! Take it from me!

  5. Sampa you are right. painful as it is for many to accept what you have said, it is the plain truth. Those principles are the real thing. Word of caution though, please do not hero-worship. Just be yourself.

  6. HH is has a good character. No need to insult him with the UPND. Concentrate on Miles Sampa’s article and gauge it if it is true or not.

  7. Sampa is correct and those who think otherwise are hallucinating. Those who talk of dictatorship are children of Satan just like (HH)

  8. You are a brave man Miles, Very few men in you situation would tell it as it truly is the way you have.You have a calibre and integrity

  9. Good words from a lost son.as I always said,Miles Sampa is a genius and can be PF president one day.its Fred M’membe and Guy Scott who misled him in 2015.thank God for opening his eyes.CK and Mwenya Musenge must seriously look at this advice and do the right things.THE BEST CK&MUSENGE CAN DO NOW IS TO KEEP QUIET LIKE GIVEN LUBINDA DID IN 2012.IF THEY DO THAT,PF SHALL BE THEIR HOME AGAIN SOON!!!CK and Musenge cannot make it on their own minus PF.not even HH’s regional party upnd can take them to promised land(power) anytime soon!!THESE FACTS SHOULD SINK INTO CK&MUSENGE’S MINDS!!as for you guys in upnd,please note that Miles Sampa has sound businesses so “njala sinamunyokole!!”

  10. It’s a big blessing to have Miles say the things he has said who once upon a time was rubbing shoulders with the lost one, HH. This is an upper-cut dealt on HH’s jaw; the evil one has been dumped and exposed and it is up to the masses to judge who wants to strangle the country and bring untold misery to this peaceful nation.

  11. Hes not eating so his mouth is free to talk… Then we’ll have some make shift forgiveness party at a rally where he will be asked to kneel and apologise. Ba Presdo please give this guy another 10 years to reflect..ananyoza maningi.. Hahahaha pa Zambia nikisi che.

  12. Mr Kudos were have you been my brother, you and Zambian Citizen you make this forum beautiful love you guys.

  13. Insala kapondo mwebantu. All businesses grounded. One ends up coming back with tail in between the legs. Politics teyabana iyoooooooooooooooo…..!!!

  14. Sampa is surely very blind and is also being opportunistic. This dictatorship Lungu has started will destroy the country, sooner than later the brightest minds will be fleeing the disaster brought on by Chagwa’s dictatorship, incompetence, patronage, nepotism and outright theft. The judiciary and legislature are being raped rendering the rule of law ineffective. I mean, if this is not the one way route to the Zimbabwe ruined Chagwa has placed us on, then Lucufer knows where to!

  15. Njaka ya kanyokola ka ch.ikala, alah! Sata had serious demencia from his AIDS induced multiple organ failure and when the ***** kicked the bucket, his wife, son, nephew and daughter’s father in law all wanted Plot 1. Ba Mnwacusa fi.kaka, you think this is a Tanganyika hereditary monarchy?

  16. When you need employment you can saying good to please the master even if you dont mean it. Sampa not exceptional.

  17. Lungu must be a democrat who fears the opposition and does not allow them any space , he is a democrat who sacks any one from PF who shows presidential ambitions….as the South Africans say , if you are a true leader allow the opposition.

  18. Too late.kilomita is too power hungry..so Daniel Mukombwe is very smart I’d.oit…he ate with kk,ftj,mwanawasa,banda,and sata..Lungu is a show stopper! Mmembe is evidence.keep this boy at length….. Wenyo.

  19. @spaka like lilo:even your HH does not allow anyone in upnd to challenge him.look,HH has been behind bars since 10/04/2017,but to date nobody in upnd has dared to take over from HH.today upnd is a headless chicken but still nobody dares to take over because once a dictator is freed from mukobeko,that person who tried to succeed him could face hell in upnd!!THESE ARE AFRICAN POLITICS BADAALA WHERE AN ENEMY IS NEVER LEFT BEHIND!!!in fact Edgar Lungu is far much better because he always does what majority people in PF tell him to do!!

    • Hh never sacks any one for having presidential ambitions…..and if lungu does what the majority in PF tell him then the majority are thugs..and theives..

    • Iwe koswe wa PF stop trying to normalize dictator ship…..ati African politics ….no no that gagbo and Samuel do politic that belong in the ICC…..

  20. Sampa, sampa, Sampa you are a real moron, spineless worm. I thought you have now grown ball!!!!!!!! Still bootlicking the ass of the man who humiliated you so much during the succession battle for pf presidency? By humiliation i dont mean defeating you DEMOCRACTICALLY. The man used all sorts of dirty tricks including hiring or thugs with pangas to intimidated your camp. This time just because of hunger, you are standing up claiming the man is a democrat, you are a loser and one of the many imbeciles we have in Zambia.

  21. Ba Sampa bena awe mwee. I used to think this was a man, but i have realized nika chamwenso chabe ka **** aka. You can’t know what he stands for. People can see through you and know who you are! You are not to be trusted, “muselela kwakaba”. You are dead politically.

  22. Some bloggers are not happy when we sympathize with the Pf, kkkkkk.

    Just come along and sympathize with us it won’t kill you or is it that you are afraid that your incarcerated president will find out.

    2021 EDDIE LOVE OR NOT PF IS SCOOPING IT AGAIN nafuti nafuti

  23. Lukupwe lwa kababa luka nyokozi kandate ka siBemba. Seli fela wa nja, yabe ya pweleteta masipa a musululo kona I fetuha kua kapa!

  24. Just wondering how the reincarnated Post ,the Mast has found it easy to headline Kambwili the one who killed and buried the Post. Just wondering how the wheels have turned.

  25. There is this attractions about ECL the whole world is coming to this country. What’s the attractions by all these presidents visiting Zambia? Good move ba Samoa. You get peace of mind with your move. I would do the same if I was in your boots.

    • Which presidents are those ??? Mugabe and MU7 ?? The only democratic leader to visit was the Ghanaian.

  26. yaba.He forgets quickly,
    Sampa needs to be remind him self about few things .. The thwarted Kabwe convention where he stood as a PF president ..
    The Ndola Air port saga where the plane carrying him U turned in Mid Air.
    can Sampa revist those happenings if they are democratic?

  27. To small minds – Under Five Card Clinics the president is a “dictator!” They want the Namwala President to challenge the President of the republic! Obstruct traffic at your own peril!

  28. When he left PF, Lungu was a dictator. Now he wants to come back, Lungu is a democrat. What a load of b.ull! The man is unprincipled regardless of what some bloggers here think he has stood for in the past. It is clear that his political manoeuvres were for his own selfish pursuits. That has not worked and he now has to lick a.ss in the hope that Lungu will put a hand around his shoulder and invite him to the table to partake in the corruptly prepared banquet.

  29. The effect of years of education are not evident in the man under discussion. It’s a depicable thing to be a cadre.
    This demagogue only wants to benefit from the current kleptomania.

  30. Al men are vapour. No man is perfect. GOD is the only one perfect. If Sampa is bad, so is HH, ECL,Wnter, Meembe, Guy Scott and many of us.
    To twist matters before hand and condemn other people and their tribes is sin against GOD.
    Every word uttered shall be accounted for on Judgement day. A wise man discerns the times and uses his words judiciously.
    The Fear of GOD is the hallmark of a true Christian. A true Christian is mindful of what he says or does for he has a caring attitude to everyone.
    I love Jesus for he never treats us according to our shortcoming and He encourage us to be perfect.

  31. Who has resurrected Miles Sampa? Timid and scared people who start wars they cannot win. We the people are Not interested in your useless compromised opinion BA Sampa. We know you are being used by Mr Lungu. The next to be resurrected will be Christine Kaseba. We won’t be swayed. The PF of Mr Lungu is dead. It belongs to the dustbin. Copperbelt, LP, LSK, Muchinga, Northern We have moved on. CK lisha belu – Nge

  32. Miles or rather Kilometres, best to stay mute. Edgar is no democrat. Remember Ruth Mbangu. Is this why you have chosen to start a church in search of forgiveness. Wise up young man. Forget Lungu and be true to yourself first. Forgive yourself! Lungu does not do himself any favours with issues of positive image creation. He surrounds himself with vultures. One is defined by the people he surrounds himself with. And lungu’s confidants speak volumes. If you can’t beat them, join them!
