New Congress Party (NCP) president Peter Chanda has said that the UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilema, has clearly lost direction and charged that the UPND leader is a frustrated man who has run out of ideas on how to run a party after losing elections five times.

In an interview with the Daily Nation yesterday, Pastor Chanda charged that Mr Hichilema’s ranting against innocent people is a sign that he is now confused after being rejected by the Zambians through the ballot box.

Pastor Chanda was reacting to UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema who accused United Nations Resident Coordinator in Zambia Janet Rogan of having helped the PF to win the 2021 elections.

The NCP leader said Mr Hichilema’s unnecessary attacks on Ms Rogan is uncalled for adding that he (Hichilema) should just quit politics to avoid embarrassing himself further.

“As NCP, we want to express our disappointment with unwarranted attacks on Janet Rogan by UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema. The man has ran out of ideas of how to run a political party and I can just advise him to go back and concentrate on looking after his cattle.

“I think there is something wrong with HH, he is confused after being rejected five times by the electorate. How can he today in his right mind accuse Ms Rogan of having assisted the PF to manipulate election results when she is part of the international community where he has been trotting to asking them to intervene in Zambia’s internal matters?”

Pastor Chanda said the levels of desperation by Mr Hichilema to get to power was worrying and urged the Zambians to ignore him saying he has nothing to offer.

Yesterday, UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema accused United Nations Resident Coordinator in Zambia Janet Rogan of having helped the Patriotic Front (PF) to steal its 2016 votes.

Mr Hichilema alleged that Ms Rogan who is also UNDP Resident Representative in Zambia of having assisted the PF manipulate election results.

Speaking at a press briefing at his residence in Lusaka yesterday Mr Hichilema said Ms Rogan was involved in the manipulation of the 2016 election results.

“We are very much aware of Janet Rogan’s manoeuvres of working with the Electoral Commission to manipulate voter registration, to manipulate ballot paper printing in Dubai, Janet Rogan was involved, we are aware of that.

“We are aware that Janet Rogan is patronising with Ministers of the PF almost on a daily weekly basis. We are aware that Janet Rogan is hosting the ZCID encouraging them to take a lead so that she can participate in the manipulation of the dialogue process as she participated in the manipulation of election results in our country,” Mr Hichilema charged.

Mr Hichilema said he wants to meet Ms Rogan to ascertain her interests in Zambia’s electoral process.

He added, “I have been monitoring her, I have been watching her and I want to meet Janet Rogan so that I tell her to her face.”

  1. A good observation by HH, Ms Rogan’s interests appear dubious, can she explain herself to people of Zambia please. What positive value does she bring to the poor suffering Zambian if this is not just for her belly

    • Is there anything else on the Zambians’ minds apart from politics? When will the diasporans start lining up going back to Zambia to help with the development? The Chinese are really reaping the country apart while that all you f….ls think of is politics. Chinese are taking over huge amounts of land, displacing local families (your brothers and sisters) in central province and no one covers this news, not even Lusaka Times which is only focused on the nonsence from the Chandas and HH. what is wrong with as black people???

  2. HH has outlived his usefulness period. From his current level he will now qualify to become a rebel leader. Watch him.

  3. “ONLY A TONGA MUST LEAD UPND” SAYS SEJANI- HH does not mean well for this country, all he wants is to go to the state house at all costs even if that means shedding blood. In the political history of this country we have never seen so desperate a man all just because he is under pressure from his financiers who have lent him so much to fund his political campaign all in vain and they have now lost their patience with him hence this desperation like a headless chicken about to die. I thought by now HH should have realized that he is not destined to be the president of this country because he has been rejected by Zambians, the more he forces himself, the more embarrassing and painful his downfall will be. AKALIFUPA WAKOSELELA KALASHA UMUCENE. HH A TICKING TIME BOMB TO ZAMBIA’S PEACE AND…

    • If HH a very successful businessman and who has greatly and cohesively led his party without intraparty fights like in PF is a mental patient, what would you call Lungu the biggest thief Zambia has ever seen? The failed lawyer and corruption masterpiece. What do you call Lungu?

    • The use of fake names in cybersapce has saved most Zambians from major embarrassments. Their analytical skills are nothing to write home about. Seriously. Read the responses to a seemingly serious allegations, a suggestion of an outright assault on the sovereignty of our country and all we can do is make thoughtless comments? Are we Zambians that styopet?

  4. Only questionable characters would see sense in what Kalusa is claiming.
    Leave the UN out of your tribal politicks. Is this confession that he has failed to penetrate PF strongholds. 2021 Nafuti nafuti.

    • Ba H-H naba pena, siphylis bayambwile mu custard y yikali sana. GBM naonda sana, iminifu yaba fye imikofu nomba.

      Uyu Lungu alinga filya ama Jews chaba kuli Lesa.

  5. HH is a goat not worth taking notice but only by his vision less followers the man can’t even pay his workers a decent living wage

  6. I would rather have a Tonga or anyone else Zambian lead Zambia than Malawians. We all know Lungu and RB are not Zambians by birth or ancestry. How fuulish can a people be? Few fuulish Bembas because of their greed and corruption have chosen to look the other side to have a Malawian lead Zambia. Also, put Lungu and HH on one stage, and you will see who is smart and has leadership qualities. Lungu is a natural failure. This ma. Lungu goes around the world to borrow for stealing. Who does that? Take this failed lawyer back where you found him next door to Misisi. LUNGU MUST GO BACK TO MALAWI. #LUNGUMUSTGO #IMPEACHLUNGU

    • Kalos2020, I will support you if you mean we shouldn’t vote for people who have suspicious backgrounds like one leader who has changed his names and not told us who his father is. The mother could be Zambian but what about his father, is he a foreigner? We hear his father was a criminal who specialized in cattle rustling and we hope he has not inherited that genetical straight. Please can someone tell us who his father is.

    • So decision to choose a true Zambian to lead the country in your head is based on finding the father of another party leader’s father? Really? You hear his father was a criminal, yes you hear, no facts attached to your hearsay. I also suppose the father was a Zambian criminal, not Malawian as some are. What has that got to do with being led by true Zambians? And you are in Canada. Seriously? How are you contributing to the discourse in Canada if your thinking is at such levels? Are you one of those doing “Window Technology”? Serving burgers and French Fries at the window at MacDonalds? Your reasoning really needs help. And a lot of it.

  7. Yangu tata, I am embarrassed to even condemn h.h. The UN manipulated the elections? UN did you say? For what motive? Some screws have become loose in this boy’s head, that is clearly indisputable.
    By the way, was that part of the evidence in his presidential election petition to the Concourt? Just asking….

  8. Everywhere else people are crying for their people to succeed. In Zambia some Bembas, my own, but fuulish people are colluding with Malawian mafia who have come to Zambia and found fertile ignorant souls to manipulate to fight each other as they steal and run the show. They went to Bembas and told a fuulish few that Tongas hate you and are after your blood, and also concocted Tonga hate on Bembas. Fuulish few bought it and the situation must be corrected and have these criminals Malawians pack and go back where they came from. #LEAVEUSALONE

  9. TONGAS and BEMBAS must unite. Our Brothers in Northwestern and Western are already with our Tonga brothers. Easterners must stop using Malawians to divide us. Now is the time to unite true Zambians. Tongas, Bembas, Lundas, Kaondes, Lozis, Lambas, Lalas, Zambian Chewas, Ngonis, Bisas, and other true Zambians, please save our country from the Malawaian criminals borrowing to steal and enrich themselves while you owners of the land suffer. Are we that stup1d? This time we need a Zambian in office. Someone who can articulate issues and understand how the economy works. #LETSUNITE

  10. HH reminds me of those perpetual repeaters at grade 7. They kept on blaming ECZ, teachers, parents for not buying them past papers, friends for hating them so much, girl friends for not loving them, sisters and brothers for not helping them concentrate in their studies. Oh no the list was never complete. Each year new long list of people to blame and they lost touch of reality.
    And in this era sure ba-HH.
    Disaster!!!!!

    • HH did not sit in group 3 like you. Stolen elections is not losing. He won but the UN as failed as they are, colluded with another failed candidate to steal. Show us what you have to refute that you did not sit in group 3.

  11. Only foolish people quickly jump to conclusion whenever they hear something. Clever ones on the other hand always wait to hear the truth. HH may have a point here let us give a chance and encourage him to quiz the UN PF cadre.

  12. Truth hurts. Zambia must be led by Zambians. Who denies that Lungu and RB are from Malawi/Zimbabwe? Tell us where they are from. Come out of those cacoons Zambians. Are you sure you cannot lead yourselves?

    • This is not about campaigns, it’s about who is Zambian to lead the nation. Are you afraid to discuss the truth about your leaders and how stup1d Zambia looks to be led by Malawians? How wrong is it to know your true identity and with pride, choose leaders from amongst yourselves? Zambians. Chani chamene chivuta to be Zambians with your own leaders? How does campaign become an issue here?

  13. Can Zambians lead themselves? Do we have capable Zambians? Why then are we currently in the hands of Malawians? Why was Dr. Guy Scott who was born in Zambia not allowed to run and RB (Malawian parents himself born in Zimbabwe) allowed to lead Zambia? Who is more Zambian, Dr. Guy Scott or RB? How about Lungu, (Father Malawian, Mother Mozambique/South Africa). How does that qualify him more than Dr. Guy Scott?
    ARE WE RACISTS?

  14. Under Lungu, Zambia has become the third hungriest (probably even ugliest due to hunger) country in the world. Wow.

  15. “Pastor Peter Chanda, party of one”. This is not a restaurant call, he is alone. Literally alone in his party.

  16. I have no doubt that even his supporters are embarrassed. Jay Jay what do you think of this embarrassing saga?
    Even Spaka at best is to shut your mouth on this one.

  17. If upndeez support their leader on this one you are forgiven to conclude that upndeez are into politics just to get a tribesmate into power…..as Sejani said and this has never been denied by h.h.

  18. Just shut up ba Kalos2020, do you have to open your mouth even when you have nothing to say? This is the disease that has afflicted your leader h.h.

    • Hahahaha, just say what you have. Are you so blank such that this is all you can say? Don’t you think it is your thinking that has affected Zambia not to develop or grow? Do you have headaches when you think?

  19. I didn’t know Zambia was a desert. So many ostriches. Heads in the sand. Or is it in sand or somewhere else?

  20. Well said “upnd cadre”.The so called “kalos 2020” thinks us majority Northerners can buy into his nonsense of voting for “tribal Kainde”,NEVER!!!
    Wait,very soon we will have 10 by elections at ward level in 6.5 provinces where PF is strong.you will see how many upnd will win from those 10.most likely it will be 0!!!President Edgar Lungu is not a Malawian.if anything ECL is just Easterner by name-he is bemba!!his bemba is second to none unlike your HH who cannot even state 3 words in bemba and nobody knows about HH’s family (father,mother,brothers,sisters,uncles,etc)!!!nothing.so Kainde should be the one ti be called a foreigner!!
    Note,all those prominent politicians (Dr Guy Scott,Miles Sampa,Lupando Mwape,Bob Sichinga,Bridget Atanga,etc) who supported HH in 2016 have ditched…

    • I can see another blind Northerner. Well, most blinds are from the northern. Fact. Sadly instead of telling us where Lungu is from, you want to tell us who speaks more Bemba. Is that your measurement of who is Zambian or not? You also skid around the issue of Dr. Guy Scot, who is a true Zambian. Tell us where Lungu is from and mention the village. All these things will come out in the impeachment. Why do you think they are fighting not to table it? The issue is not who is going to win the ten so called provinces, it is who is Zambian to lead the country. The Northerners have abrogated their citizen duties by supporting and defending a non-Zambian as a president. Are you short of your own leaders? Are you that stranded that a man whose Law License exam was with the help of the current…

  21. In my opinion, I think H. H would have concentrated on selling his mandate unlike crying about spilled soup which you can no longer gather back into the bowl. A good example is MCS, who mentioned that votes are not won in courts but through the ballot by selling your manifesto. This was after he lost the elections and it was believed that his votes were stolen. What happened? He campaigned and invited HH to work with him but because of HH pomposity, he refused and MCS won in 2011.

    • Selling a “mandate”?
      What is a mandate?

      Also, HH is not crying over spilt milk. Rather, he is trying to straighten out the irregularities in the electoral process. For instance, how did that Ugandan find himself in the computer room? Who issued him with an identity card? What happened to him? What happened to those who gave him the card?
      how easily Zambians forget!

      Look at how vigorously the Americans are investigating the meddling of Russia in their elections. They have a guy in hot pursuit of evidence hired by Congress. Can you Zambians stop scratching your butts and find out why the ballot papers were sent out 4 hours earlier than scheduled? Can you? Why was Chulu was announcing numbers which were different from what was on the screen? Did you think about that?
      Sata once…

  22. Kalos2020, I will support you if you mean we shouldn’t vote for people who have suspicious backgrounds like one leader who has changed his names and not told us who his father is. The mother could be Zambian but what about his father, is he a foreigner? We hear his father was a criminal who specialized in cattle rustling and we hope he has not inherited that genetical straight. Please can someone tell us who his father is.

    • I don’t need your support. I am not running for anything. It is your country that needs your support. Oh, by the way, are judging HH by his father’s sins? You want to know HH’s father but you are not asking for Lungu’s father or even his village. How wonderful! Have you ever seen people who were raised by their mothers like Obama, Clinton and many successful sports guys were? Does that disqualify them from being who they are because their fathers were not there? Madam, think again. Don’t let those migraines you get when you try to think turn you into ichitumbuwa. Try to think again. If you cannot as you have displayed, ask those who do. They will help.

  23. Bloomberg: April 6, 2018 (THIS IS WHY LUNGU MUST GO)
    Zambia is facing tough questions over its foreign-debt levels from investors who think the real number may be more than double what the government says it is.
    Lenders including Nomura Holdings Inc. believe the state hasn’t come completely clean on how much external borrowing it’s undertaken. This is raising concern the southern African nation may be headed for a similar situation to neighboring Mozambique, where hidden debts led to default and the government is seeking to restructure.
    “Zambia is in somewhat of a serious predicament of having politically connected additional ‘unknown’ loans,” Peter Attard Montalto, head of emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa economics at Nomura International in London, said in an emailed note…

  24. Still Bloomberg:
    “Only government knows its level of debt, and government then shares that with the public,” Mwanakatwe said when asked about speculation that Zambia’s debt may be higher than what government said it is. “I’ll be doing that on a quarterly basis.”
    Even then, the state doesn’t seem to be so sure. At Friday’s briefing, Mwanakatwe originally said the external-debt figure was $8.9 billion then later corrected it to $8.7 billion. And in June, her predecessor, Felix Mutati, told parliament it had increased to $17.2 billion — he later corrected himself, saying the actual figure was $10 billion lower.

  25. The easiest way to beg money in Zambia from those who have it is to attack opposition leaders. If you are outside you just issue injurious statements about opposition leaders, if you are inside already, you just bootlick to perpetuate your stay.No work at all.

    • The “Bowman Lusambo” Law.
      It has worked for Antonio Mwanza.

      The name HH seems to be the highest paying. Drag it in the mud and you get to be a cabinet minister. Ask Dora.it works.

  26. What u speak , it’s what u are. If u think HH has lost it, that means u have. U can be used by the minority to gang against HH. The truth is, has majority of Zamians behind him. U are so selfish that u are able to be used to sale ur on brothers and sisters for 1 ngwee. Keep ur ngwee will continue to call for good governance. This symptoms of good governance is depicted in HH

  27. Kalos2020 thinks exactly like h.h, a tribalist period, absolutely no difference.
    1. He is suggesting that easterners are foreigners in Zambia so tongas, bembas, and the rest of our beautiful tribes should unite against easterners
    2. Foolishly Kalos is also suggesting that the eastern boundary of Zambia should be Luangwa river
    3. He is foolishly telling us that our beautiful tribes bembas and tongas and the other 70 should unite BUT under tonga NOT bemba leadership, which bembas are you courting ba Kalos2020?
    4. Kalos2020 like h.h fail to learn from history even from what they said or did just yesterday, which is why they are perpetual political losers. If they read Zambia’s political history well they will see that Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula of ANC who was also from Namwala was not a…

  29. 4. Kalos2020 like h.h fail to learn from history even from what they said or did just yesterday, which is why they are perpetual political losers. If they read Zambia’s political history well they will see that Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula of ANC who was also from Namwala was not a tribalist and he had a very strong support base in easterners. Today h.h if he is truly from the same Namwala should be insulting easterners and call them foreigners? Honestly I wonder whether h.h and Kalos2020 are Zambians? I say so because they act like foreigners who have come to sow seeds of division in our beautiful Zambia with its 73 beautiful tribes.

  30. Pimbilimano: Great posting. Have you seen how Ndanje Khakis has evaded your simple straightforward questions? Do you think ZCID can help in ensuring that these questions are answered? Janet Rogan’s UN spent money on the Electoral Commission of Zambia to organise the 2016 elections and UN observers were at the results tallying center in an observer capacity. They saw the Ugandan with their own eyes when he was caught with his fingers in the till. If Janet Rogan accepted that the election was free and fair despite this, her bosses in New York would put her on the spot and ask her to explain if UN money was well-spent if this was the election it funded. I suppose this is what makes HH suspect her motives although I doubt it she played a role in fixing the result. The real motive of Jnet…

  31. Janet Rogan’s real motive is this. She knows there are good grounds to question the results but her attitude is this is good enough for Zambia, after all it’s just a banana republic. This is more likely to be what drives Rogan.
