A senior citizen Professor Elijah Ngwale has described the Anti-Mutati protests as a shameless endeavour which should not be allowed to continue.
Speaking when he called in on the Thursday edition of UNZA radio’s the Lusaka Star radio program, Mr Ngwale said the actions of the PF cadres were tantamount to economic sabotage.
He said he was one of the people who was intiatialy against the appointment Felix Mutati as Finance Minister but that he had no issue with the minister now because he has performed beyond expectations and turned around the country’s economy.
“These acts are tantamount to and in conformity with espionage and economic sabotage, it is political savagery of its worst kind.
“I was against the decision made by President Edgar Lungu to appoint MMD president Felix Mutati, I even wrote a letter to President Lungu at State House elaborating why I opposed it. Not because Felix Mutati was my enemy, actually he is my very good friend instead,” he said
Mr Ngwale added that President Lungu should be proud that he appointed Felix Mutati because he has delivered.
He urged the President to instead fire Davis Mwila and send him in diplomatic service preferably Cambodia.
“President Lungu should be proud he appointed this guy, Felix Mutati has proven me wrong on all counts, the guy has delivered, the guy has changed the face of our economy in less than a year.
“The one who must be fired is the Secretary General Davies Mwila himself, in fact let him be shown the exit door ,reorient him and post him into diplomatic service, throw him as far as Cambodia,” he said.
Other callers who included Mr Kazia from Kanyama Compund a known UPND sympathiser agreed with Mr Ngwale that the country’s economy was doing fine under the stewardship of Felix Mutati hence should be left in his position.
Featuring on the program was MMD Die Hard Youths National Coordinator Gerald Chiluba and Prince Ndoyi who noted that the reasons the PF cadres were giving for Mutati to be dropped were too petty and should be ignored with the contempt they deserve.
Mr Chiluba said how can the nshima cooked at the MMD Secretariat be an issue that should take mature people to the streets to protest against a national leader.
He noted that the reasons such as the one some PF youths are crying over that Mr Mutati doesn’t give them audience did not hold water because Mr Mutati was a minister for Zambia and not a PF treasurer.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
“The one who must be fired is the Secretary General Davies Mwila himself, in fact let him be shown the exit door ,reorient him and post him into diplomatic service, throw him as far as Cambodia,” he said.
“Mr Mutati doesn’t give them audience”?
So that’s what these dunderheads in PF are protesting and moaning about? They expected FREE ACCESS to National Treasury? This is truly shocking and unprecedented.
This is yet more proof that basic education is very important among citizens.
These illiterate id1ots in PF expected to have a free hand on the national treasury without any control whatsoever as if it belonged to PF. There is no discipline in their vocabulary and anyone who comes with any form of discipline becomes an enemy. Lungu himself has no discipline of any kind, look at the behavior of his ad visor kaiser, his suspension from LAZ, over stealing, his careless drinking habits and list goes on.
Disgruntled party members who were not given governing positions behind these protests.
Davis mwila can’t even be suit to Cambodia he will be killed by fishermen because of his stupidity,he is off politics ..
Comment:
Petty reasons for wanting Mutati to go. Has he committed any felony, Mutati? So far, so good is the verdict for him.
Mr. Ngwale hats off. Very few people in our Zambia admit an error they have committed. We need more people like you who are honest
They are very backward…mob psychology with no thinking. Following a band wagon!!!
Thank the Finance Minister for working for Zambia and not for ” himself ” like other people would do. We all belong to Zambia and not Political Parties. Open your minds people.
