Chama,while Minister of Finance Felix Mutati looks during his
departure to Muchinga Province at City Airport in Lusaka
MMD Die Hard Youths Coordinator Gerald Chiluba has advised the PF to stop arm twisting the Republican President Edgar Lungu with their demands to have Finance Minister Felix Mutati dropped.
Mr Chiluba who was speaking when featured on MUVI TV’s breakfast show said the President has been on record telling the nation that PF is working with MMD hence the demands by the PF would only make the President contradict himself.
He said PF Secretary General Davies Mwila should not have used such strong language but instead should havel engaged his counter part from MMD.
“As MMD Die Hard Youth wing we want to urge our alliance partners to stop arm twisting President Edgar Lungu as there is no concrete reason to protest against Hon. Felix Mutati.
“There was no need for the PF Secretary General to use such strong language when he could easily have engaged his counter part from our party especially that the president has on several occasions mentioned that the MMD are in a working relationship with the PF.
“Just recently in Mansa there was a defection ceremony led by the deputy Secretary General of PF where 70 people defected to PF and among them were members from the MMD. As MMD we did not say anything but when it is vice versa people decide to talk which is unfair,” he said.
He further called on the PF not feel threatened by the fact that MMD is mobilising itself but instead concentrate on their mobilisation.
“Our alliance partners should never feel threatened by the fact that the MMD is mobilising itself neither should MMD feel the same because every political party as the moral obligation to mobilise and install competent structures that will help the party to thrive and this is simply what MMD is doing.
“We also want to take this opportunity to appeal to His Excellence the President of the republic of Zambia to intervene in this misunderstanding and categorically explain the spirit of the alliance between the two parties so as to sustainably settle the dust,” he said.
they are all criminals in the picture…lol
The fact is that Edgar wants Mutati out, if Mutati has not seen the writing on the all, them he is more of an airhead than I thought
Edgar is also known to cleanse anybody deemed as threat. Mutati is doing good, so as Harry Kalaba. These are 2 current threats.
What was Mumbi Phiri doing in Manda if it wasn’t Harry fight
Gerald Chiluba should be condemned. He is a nonentity who should have no platform to issue any statement.
I have just come back from a scan and I feel great. March cant come enough! I am so lucky .
Thanks

I llike the way the Mast Newspaper reported on the RB/MUTATI MMD.-“How can expelled and suspended MMD members hold an MMD CONVENTION”?.This is the FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION ALL SOBER MINDED MMD MEMBERS should ask themselves.That’s why this illegal ‘convention is being challenged in Court.;And now this Mutati group has only remained with less than 10 days to their given 60 days by the Court of Appeals to appeal to Supreme Court.So let Gerald NOT die for nothing.Let him wait for the case to be logically snd justly concluded,then we see who laughs or cries the loudest.GOD HATES INJUSTICE(Amos 5:21-24)
What do you expect from a party full of illiterates. I thought pf said they are in a working relationship with mmd and not that mmd has joined pf. So you don’t want mutati to reorganise his Party?
Good advice yanga man.
How can PF cadres ‘arm twist’ the Republican President? A sitting President cannot be arm twisted by PF or MMD cadres. It’s 2017 with 3 years to August 11 2021 and they are still talking politics.
Who is this Lumpen Gerald Chiluba?
How is this even headline News? LT, in paper terms headline news is what we see on the front page of our respected Times and Daily Mail, in Big Bold letters.
Imagine some of your headlines being on that page. This Gerald ranting does not qualify
@comrade Kudos well said Sir! These MMD guys are now trying to mount a coup from within PF, we cannot allow such an activity to occur! MMD is a cancer and anything it touches will become diseased. Let MMD be consumed by the likes of UPND the United Political National Dustbin!
Mutati OUT! Dora OUT!
In a divorce u just negotiate terms and conditions of separation. Why is Mutati and his MMD so desperate? The Kambwilis, PF members in Eastern Province have protested to say they no longer want MMD Leaders in their PF Govt. Can’t Mutati and MMD get it? Leave the PF Govt now while u can otherwise u will chased away like dogs. The PF gravy Train is so sweet and they don’t to leave even though they have overstayed their welcome.
This Chiluba boys sounds more mature than then entire leadership of PF put together
PF should look at the bigger picture here, Do not out of selfish interested push the president to make a wrong move. Ministry of finance is a sensitive one, hire and fire in this ministry is pretty dangerous to the economy. South Africa because of such recklessness has sunk into in precedented economic downturn. Mutati has not committed an offence . PF have and will not find
That’s the problem,The understanding of the so-called alliance should NOT only be understood by ECL alone.Besides if Gerald is honest to himself,it was RB snd Ecl who actually created this so-called ‘MMD/PF Alliance’.The majority PF Members are NOT for it.RB had his court cases pending,so he had to work on it.Ask Jean Kapata.For her there is NO ALLIANCE BETWEEN THIS RB/MUTATi Grouping.It only exists between RB & ECL for a particular purpose.And that was achueved-Kwasila
MMD you ent to bed with the devil this is what you get Lungu does not like threats
Gerald does NOT KNOW the genesis of this MMD DIE HARD THING.Ask Bowman.This was created to defend the MMD CONSTITUTION snd the legal MMD PRESIDENCY.But now this Mmd die hard is just a circus,standing for no values at all,but being used as useful i.d.i.o.t.s and play belly politics.Spineless Mutati has been used up indeed as RB PROJECT.
… another Zambian in the opposition parties who is honest and hard working like honourable Mutati. Focus on the effects on the country’s economy rather than your selfish agendas. Don’t derail the economy by careless calls and demands
These MMD Guys are tainted by RB and they are reaping where they did not sew. This marriage of convenience has outlived its usefulness. The Pure Greens what to eat alone. We cant have these MMD occupy important portfolios like Ministry of Finance. Instead of dishing money to PF, Mutati as Minister of Fince is dishing out money to MMD Supporters. Its high time for Mutati to go and rebuild his MMD Party. Enough is enough MMD must now stand and compete on their own.Mutati besides he did not handle the Debt Stock Issue properly. Mutati failed to protect and save the interests of PF.
Where are the PF carders getting all that money for the campaign against Mutati? Mutati will only be left only if he declares that he not running for president in 2021. Otherwise he’s done.
Fodder for UPNDonkeys….kikikikikikikiki
This illiterate squeals who demand the removal of mutati from post of finance minister.
Gerald Chiluba, you make a lot of sense.
I do agree with spy mashra, who said ministry of finance a sensitive issue , yes indeed it is and needs wisdom to administer it .
The stability of a kwacha means Mutati is highly respected by the forces that be , at their own will they can drop it and degrade zambia at negative minus, minus no one can argue with them.
The ministry of finance means more than politics as it is the backbone of a nation and affects the life line of a country.
iwe fake MMD LEGAL OBSERVER stop concluding in the case before the court make its final judgement, even the story in the mast newspaper you referring to is fake because Hon. Mutati is more MMD than NEVERS MUMBA who is just a chancer who came into presidency of MMD in crooked manner when he was still a President of RP.
@’MMD DIE SOFT’-JUST WAIT AND SEE WITH YOUR MUTATI RB PROJECT.USED AND DUMPED…..
OH!,THE RP ISSUE WAS JUST A RUPIAH SPONSORED NON-ISSUE.AND THEY THOUGHT NEVERS WILL FAIL TO PAY THE MMD DEBTS RB,Mutati and the others left.Expelled non-member becoming a president of the organization which expelled him-in a banana republic maybe it can happen.Continue hullucinating with your Chimbokaila NS JAIL BIRD.
.
NEVERS MUMBA IS just a gold digger
PF cry babies always running to the president like spoilt brats
Ba so-called ‘MMD DIE HARD’.RB is the one who caused the MMD to lose in 2011 to Sata.Surely,can you trust him now that he can ‘help’ Mutati to win?.Naive and abused gullible youths.
As much as i agree with chiluba i understand RB helped pf than mutati did and if at all 2016 was a year of indosements both for pf and upnd from mmd members cause they had no candidate cause of the rangles they have had durring the time ,for muatati i dont see the president suck him i know he”s a wise man and very wise for that matter
Ala bamuchose po sakala wa kantu Mutati. Lungu should ask Bwezani to find munthu wa kumawa kumodzi for that position.
President Lungu, please keep Mutati on the job. Am not PF, UPND or any other political party, am a christian and neutral .If you listen to your PF youths and other self centered politicians , then this nation will not achieve economic growth.
Mr. President, Mutati is the BEST so far.Do not listen to them, just do your job.
At this moment in time, its not about who belongs to where and whether they are short or tall but are they able to deliver to our expectations or not. Mutati, in my opinion is delivering to the expectation of the majority of us. Do not get driven by party affiliation but by individual input. When Lusambo sponsored some media people no one asked where he got the money from and this time you are asking where MMD got the money from to improve on their structures. If one has nothing to say please do not say something for the sake of it. TEAM stands for Total Efforts of All Members. Mutati is a member of this Government and he is doing his job nicely and I expect those that cherish hard working to complement him.
Am just wondering where this pressure is coming from now??? Why didn’t they protest the appointment of Felix Mutati and wait until now? What has he done? I guess I have lost touch I need to catch up. Been on transit!!!
I believe Mutati is doing alright given the economic status we are in. Why did you pick on him in the first place? And do you have in mind to replace him? This is not a position to be filled in by anyone who has no understanding of economic gymnastics??? Some of the ministers we have have literally no idea of the ministries the lead.
