The Ruling Patriotic Front (PF) has asked Bahati Member of Parliament Harry Kalaba to resign from the party with immediate effect.

Party Secretary General Davis Mwila has confirmed that the central committee has received a petition from the structures in Luapula calling for Mr. Kalaba’s dismissal from the party.

Mr. Mwila says Mr. Kalaba has been rejected and not needed in the party.

And Mr. Mwila has challenged Mr. Kalaba to categorically explain to the nation and precisely point out who is corrupt in the party than merely issuing unsubstantiated corruption allegation.

Mr. Kalaba has recently vowed not to leave the ruling party, stating that he was elected by the people of Bahati constituency for a five year mandate.

But the party SG has wondered why the Mr. Kalaba has continued clinging to the party he claims is corrupt.

Mr. Mwila says the party is therefore ready to challenge the Bahati and Roan constituency seats through a by-election and challenged the ex-foreign affairs minister to resign from the party with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mwila said disciplinary action will be taken against Kabwe Central Member of Parliament Tutwa Ngulube for attacking the party in the media.

He said Mr. Ngulube has been talked to but to no avail.

Mr. Mwila said instead of following procedure Mr. Ngulube has continued attacking the in the party in the media.

He said those who are not loyal should leave the party.

  1. Both sides are wrong…..Kalaba for calling PF corrupt but still clinging to a rotten party…PF for being petty.

    • Party and Government and two different institutions. This is not UNIP era. Don’t mix the two. You have a Minister of Finance in government who is a President of an Opposition party.

    • Where is democracy in PF? If you point out corruption you become an enemy. What more evidence do you need to prove your corruption imwe ba loser mumpoto? Fire engines, roads, ambulances, Mukula etc what’s your defence?

    • Let GBM call HH some bad name and if nothing happens then you’ll know there’s democracy in an African political party.

    • The push to get Kalaba out of PF is for reasons rather that the principles of the party and its a shame. There might be people like Dora Siliya and all other insinuating such and furthering their stay in Government and a STUPI.D PF secretary will fall for it. This is mob psychology with no good intentions for PF and if dull people like the SG think that is a solution, they will just cause further confusion. Mind you, you still have to deal with Tutwa, KBF and other silent unhappy PF who are even more. PF SG Mwila cannot see that. ANY POLITICAL PARTY CANNOT SURVIVE FOR AS LONG AS THE MEMBER’S AGENDA IS DIFFERENT. THAT IS THE SITUATION PF FINDS IT’SELF IN!! OTHER PARTIES CAN LEARN FROM PF SO THAT OUR DEMOCRACY CAN GROW. WE NEED POLITICS OF PRINCIPLES NOT ‘MUNKOBWE BELLY POLITICS’.

  2. Ba Mwila who asked you to talk, just sit down iwe mwila. The divided party. Donchi Kubeba turns against them! Stop running pf confusion to us. Cholera is the issue here. You PF you are nor even popular, you are now equal the party of Dannie Puule.

    • I believe he has already started. PF needs to be very careful how they handle the growing in-house criticisms. How many people are you going to eject from the party? The number is becoming too large for the PF to continue with these ‘leave’ threats.

  3. All organizations including political parties have structures or channels through which concerns are addressed.
    There are rules and regulations with consequences for violations.
    Kalaba having been a civil servant should know better but he chose confrontation and conflict.
    All those supporting Kalaba have wives or husbands who go about the neighborhood criticizing their wives or husbands.l

    • What a confused reasoning.It clearly proves that apf lacks intra-party democracy.Mr. Mwila resigned when Kalaba was promoted to full cabinet minister by the late Mr.Sata,it was a protest resignation, but he was not asked to resign.He lost in chipili.

  4. Ba yama naba muka yama balepumana. chipaye no lamwina. One ofter the other exiting?? Oh no!! our boat is sinking. emo balelonga mukula.kikiki

  5. Davis is too dull to deal with Kalaba or Tutwa because all he is thinking of is expulsion. We know you with a character like Davis at the helm of the party you are done this is a vindictive character.

  6. ACCEPT CRITICISM AND NEVER DEMONISE KALABA. THERE IS LIFE BEYOND POLITICS…. SOME PF MEMBERS MAY BE WORSHIPPING JESUS WITH KALABA. SO CAN THEIR CALL ON KALABA TRANSLATED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER ONLY IN CHURCH?
    GREAT LEADERS CAN MEET EVEN THE WORST ENEMY FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE. TO LOVE IS BEAR THE RISK OF BEING LOVED.

  7. Davies Mwila knows nothing but receiving useless petitions from fellow cadres some of whom cannot even write their names but shouting the loudest to expel others. We shall see if Mr Lungu will do what he did to Kambwili and Musenge. If he does we from Luapula shall do him don’t kubeba in 2021. Davies Mwila is a failed politician who cannot help Lungu to win.

  8. I THOUGHT THE GOVERNMENT AND PARTY OPERATE SEPARATELY ESPECIALLY TODAY WHERE WE HAVE EVEN MINISTERS FROM THE OPPOSITION.I NEED TO BE CORRECTED

  9. no business class. pa airpot vula nsapato. vula belt monga ni pa police cell. we use to admire you kikiki

    just join u5

  10. We have said before that Mwila is not fit for that position of SG but Lungu still keeps him, how many pipo are you going to expel? Mwila himself resigned from sata’s govnt as deputy defence minister, did anyone expell from the party? Please ba Lungu see through this Mwila thing otherwise you are just destroying the party further. They say the truth hurts,if what Kalaba was saying is not true why worry? Ba Mwila muli chipuba,

  11. When God gives you something, and says keep it and sustain it. Some said God gave them the sit of the president…less than a year later, no one ones what is happening.? Just give GBM and HH before pipo start punching each other even as relatives, HH might just surprise you with how he can run this country. It’s simple rather than fighting over something you cannot manage. They say everything rises and falls on leadership.
