The United Party for National Development (UPND) Charles Kakoma has said that the statement purporting that the UPND is unhappy about remarks made by Commonwealth Secretary General Patricia Scotland after meeting Zambia’s Vice President Inonge Wina was not issued by his office.
Reacting to a statement published on some websites stating that the Party President Hakainde Hichilema is extremely disappointed with Commonwealth Secretary General Ms Patricia Scotland’s position after her meeting with Vice President Inonge Wina, Mr Kakoma said that statement was the work of PF propaganda meant to create conflict between UPND and the Commonwealth.
Below is Mr KAkoma’s full statement
18th April 2018
Press Statement.
It has been brought to my attention that someone has issued a statement in my name without my knowledge and authority. The statement is purporting that the UPND is unhappy about remarks made by Commonwealth Secretary General Patricia Scotland after meeting Zambia’s Vice President Inonge Wina.
The statement is alleging that UPND and its President Hakainde Hichilema are annoyed about the Commonwealth deciding to have the dialogue process in Zambia to be driven by Zambians and likening Patricia Scotland to the United Nations Development Programme Coordinator in Zambia Ms Rogan.
I wish to state that I have not issued such a statement. This statement is meant to create conflict between UPND and the Commonwealth. It is the work of the Patriotic Front. In the past few months, the PF has been issuing statements in my name generated by the PF Media Director Sunday Chanda . Last month, Mr Chanda issued another statement that I had signed on behalf of UPND an agreement in Ghana with the African Liberal Network to endorse gay rights and lesbianism in Zambia. This was totally false as no such agreement was signed.
This type of propaganda is reckless, malicious and depicting the levels of desperation by the PF.
The media and the public are requested to ignore the malicious statement purporting to have been issued by me in relation to the commonwealth.
Issued by:
Charles Kakoma,
UPND Spokesperson
And Below is the Fake Statement
Over the last 24 hours, we have witnessed Commonwealth U-turn on its earlier position that they would lead the dialogue process and are now buying into Patriotic Front’s (PF’s) position that the process must be home-driven.
As the United Party for National Development (UPND), we feel that Secretary General Patricia Scotland is reading from the same book as UNDP Country Coordibator, Janet Rogan. It is not a coincidence that the two organizations should side with the PF while not respecting views of other stakeholders such as UPND.
Our President Hakainde Hichilema is extremely disappointed with Commonwealth Secretary General Ms Patricia Scotland’s position after her meeting with Vice President Inonge Wina.
It appears the PF propaganda that the Commonwealth dialogue talks in Zambia will be spearheaded by foreigners has intimidated Commonwealth. First of all, Zambia is a member of the Commonwealth and is a signatory to the Commonwealth charter. This position was made very clear by the Commonwealth Special Envoy for the Zambian dialogue talks Prof Ibrahim Gambari in his press statement on the 11th March 2018 at Intercontinental Hotel in Lusaka.
He said and we quote, “The Republic of Zambia is a respected and valued member of the Commonwealth. Commonwealth values are Zambian values and Zambian values are Commonwealth values. The Commonwealth Charter, adopted in December 2012, sets out the fundamental values of the Commonwealth. These include, but àre not limited to, democracy, the rule of law, human rights, peace and security, tolerance, respect and understanding, freedom of expression, the separation of powers and judicial independence”, end of quote.
Clearly, PF is using money to buy off individuals in these international bodies and that is very bad for Zambia. It’s the story of cry the beloved Country. Where has PF gotten all this money being used to buy off individuals in the UNDP and Commonwealth?
As a demonstration of our commitment to the dialogue process, the UPND submitted its nominees to the Steering committee as proposed and agreed with the Commonwealth. We shall withdraw these names if goal posts keep on changing.
There is no need for PF to instil fear in the Commonwealth regarding their involvement in the dialogue process in Zambia.

Upnd is a lebel group in making. If not handled properly hh will start fighting us from his bunker. Gbm looks like he is poisoned and before he realises that they dont like him in upnd it will be too late.
THERE SHOULD BE A LAW IN ZAMBIA TO BAN POLITICAL PARTIES LIKE UPND WHICH ELECT LEADERS ON THE BASIS OF TRIBE.
IT IS ANATHEMA TO OUR VALUES BECAUSE THE VERY ACTION FOSTERS DIVISIVE TRIBAL SENTIMENTS
Hehehehe
Who can belive the 2 lying chandas and the fraud convict lungu ??
Ba Lsk Times can we have a ranking list of the most read and most visited Zambian News sites.
My own assessment is as follows :
1)Lusaka Times
2)Mwebantu
3)Zambian Watch Dog
4)Zambia Reports
5)Tumfweko
6)Zambian Observer
7) Lusaka Voice
8)Mast online
9)Zambian Eye
10)Daily Nation online
Correct me if I’m wrong fellow readers!
NEXT KAKOMA WHO I HAVE JUST LEARNT IS THE PERSONAL VOICE OF THE UPNDEAD WILL REPUDIATE BOTH STORIES ABOVE. YOU ARE SUCH A SHAMELESS LIAR CHARLES.
===============================================
I am not surprised at the original story. It is just landing in your face and you are just trying to mend the embarrassing situation. The UPNDEAD’s position has been that the Commonwealth should handle the dialogue process in Zambia. Double h is on record even on youtube throwing up on ECL on his stance that foreign bodies should not chair the dialogue process in Zambia. There you are. Now that you have heard the position of the Commonwealth the heat is rising. I have called for your faith in our national institutions but you are bent at dragging the international community into domestic issues…
… You have just learnt that 1) you are not ready for dialogue, 2) reality has not dawned on you yet, 3) You are not ready to form Government.
If you were in Zambia you would not waste your energy defending pathetic fools (PF)…they are going soon
Mushota what’s it with you and spelling?
Hakainde is a Depressed and Disappointed man over his chronic failure to be President of Zambia. Moo
MB – Please give me some slack.
Your standards are no more higher than mine. Happy to agree to disagree.
Thanks

I have always been saying it. PF is in the. PANICKY MODE and can do and say anything! The countdown is here PF, and you have very little room for your survival. Even rigging will not save you this time around.
But HH is never happy with the election results though -that one you can’t deny baby.
KIKIKI…TOO LATE. THIS IS DAMAGE CONTROL NOW. THE HARM HAS BEEN DONE. PERCEPTIONS HAVE BEEN CREATED. WASHING DIRTY, SOILED, TORN, OLD, SMELLY LINEN IN PUBLIC ALL THE TIME…..YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELVES.
You are right. Damage has already been done. The same effect the UPND expect of the impeachment motion which has lost its saltiness and is as good as water under the bridge. The PF could not have been responsible because they are in the business of development and have left the rot to the mudslingers who are in the business of violence and lies. This is from UPND’s own camp. PF has no time for this. I’m scared of that karate chop symbol in the photo above. I feel for the PF supporters who were karate chopped in Mwanza ward, SP. Violent Party this is!
It’s time UPND you go to convention to elect a new leader of your party HH has run out of ideas
How are you.
Do you know God? If yes how do you know him?
Read some few note bellow!
God created everything Genesis 1:1, and it was perfect (good)! Genesis 1:31. Then people sinned against God Genesis 3. After some years one man by the name of Abraham became Gods friend according to James 2:23 and God blessed him, his children and all his offspring’s who were told to do Gods will. Because to God if our Parents or ancestors sin then we are also sinners and we deserve punishment Exodus 20:5.
So since our fathers sinned and we have all sinned (obviously we have done something wrong before). God is annoyed and we deserve to be punished and the punishment is of death. Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” but still God loves people (us) instead of killing us all he said let someone pay for them who was his son. Who was and still is righteous so that he exchange his righteousness for the sins of the world (us) as John 3:16 state “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
So now we have a role to play according to John that is to believe in the righteous son of God as the redeemer of our sins then we will escape the wrath of God. That is the only way!
After we believe one day Jesus will come back and take those who believe to a place which will be perfect as that of the beginning John 14:3- so before he comes we need to read is word (the Bible) and learn how he wants us to live while waiting.
Do you believe Jesus Now? If so pray as follows.. “Dear God, I believe in your son that he died for my sins and all my inherited sins and I accept him as my savior. Amen”
If you prayed that prayer please find a bible believing church and learn more about this Jesus. You can also contact me!
IAM SO FED UP WITH UNDER FIVE. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THIS DESPOT. GIVE US A BREAK!!!!!
Can someone please send a copy of the UPND constitution to HH with highlights on the section that covers internal party democracy!
Why didnt you send the PF constitution to Michael Sata?
@peter njobvu this is the bad reasoning that we keep reminding the UPND. Just because a wrong was overlooked or tolerated in the past does not make it right. When you are caught stealing, you can not say my neighbor did the same in 2016 and got away with it.
Unlike HH, Sata knew the PF constitution like the back of his hand.
The *****s do not have one.
And are making too much noise.
Is there UPND and the commonwealth?
This cult of tribesmen never ceases to amaze me. They are always on the wrong side of things. A party should not be led by a god but should be by a president whose members can criticize and challenge. UPND is led by a god and whatever the god says everyone member of the clan has to say amen.
Every one who criticized Mutaware ended up in the gallows.
Especially this id!ot called Charles Kakoma being paid for trying to save face of that demagogue called Etch Etch! Pitty,no balls of steel,nothing! Shame!
Ba Kakoma UPND has been beaten at its own game. You can’t have the same team every time and expect different results. Changing leadership at all levels is healthy. MMD had the best practice of internal democracy and was very inclusive of all Zambians. Things changed when FTJ started 3rd term nonsense, got worse when unprincipled chaps took over. NDC, FDD, PF, UPND, Heritage, Socialist, NAREP etc have never practiced genuine internal democracy.
We said it on this blog several times. HH’s desperation will make him in 2021 for simple reasons.organisations that wants to support him and his party upnd, vigorously are being attacked by him and his supporters. They attack UN country coordinator Ms Janet Rogan , who has worked in royal palace under her majesty Queen Elizabeth,and even she is working critically on the same influences of British empire.And the same Patricia boroness Scotland the commonwealth envoy is working under the same common interests from royal palace and HH as a typical African from Zambia is expecting to be supported by Ms Patricia Scotland who might even be a friend of Ms Janet Rogan. Whites race especially from UK they believe in total patriotism, HH is a black man from Africa obviously he can’t middle on…
Correction: Typical Tonga from Zimbabwe.
Look now at the PF rats chasing their own tails covered in poo.
They were dancing up and down on LT but the lying chandas at statehouse are running out of lies yo tell……indeed after spending $17 billion The fraud convict lungu and his gang of thieves at state house should have been riding the waves of development , instead what we are seeing is desperation and panic attacks…and merciless taxing of the few taxpayers.
we are on record saying….lungu can never win any election without violence and cheating……never…just look at his desperation in dodging the impeachment debate , he has a majority in parliament but is still scared.
Putrid brains.
UPND is just a headless chicken that does not know whether it is coming or going.
Oval head what ever that means can’t even spell the word rebel:Useless lazy critic always just drinking, smoking and talking rubbish.
It means “PF D!CK HEAD”
It means Hakainde Hichilemas head is oval in shape like a melon…dung beetle!
Well done Commonwealth for clearing the air on this contentious issue. Kalusa Alusa kaale!
Always losing.
Yesterday’s EPL results Bournmouth 0 : Manchester United 2. Scorers Chris Smalling in 28th minute and substitute Lukaku in 70th minute. last night’s game pushes Man United to 74 points, 4 better than Liverpool, and consolidates their second place with 4 games remaining to be played.
Happy looser?
Tasting your own medicine. If you can spread falsehoods against others, they can also do it to you.
YOU WILL GET NONE.
Mr Kakoma, I.don’t believe your denial either, it’s probably faked by LT. The earlier statement that you have denied is more likely to be upndeez work than your denial. I believe that upndeez and h.h are extremely embarrassed by the statement from London where the Commonwealth has refused to take responsibility for Zambian home affairs. The British High Commissioner said as much last weekend in the heart of upndeez territory. That is why I think what you call fake is actually true as it agrees with your state of embarrassment.
1.So now you have denied because your f.oolish statements on international diplomats is backfiring on you big time and irreparably, so what is your position on Baroness Patricia Scotland’s clarification of dialogue process?
2. You have threatened to sue the…
Hehehehe cader …..
You are now blaming the messenger LT ??
You PF rats can’t stop telling lies and dodging the truth just like how lungu, the majority loved humble leader, with majority MPs, is avoiding the impeachment debate in parliament where his stealing will be revealed…….he is avoiding that debate like it is cholera….
Why are you reluctant to address him in full-UPND Cadre?
2. You have NOT threatened to sue the Chanda whom you want to use as a scapegoat, why?
3. Fake stories in Zambia were introduced by the upndeez sewage pond propaganda, are you now getting a taste of your medicine?
Cader on the other blog about lungus nationality you ran away from telling us the connection between lungu and LAZ ??
Can you pleas tell us about this connection ??
Is Zambia really a one zambia one nation? Because before ba late president Sata was elected as president of zambia, he never gave up on opposing th ruling parties nd he never gave up on campening for presidence until his dream of ruling this country became true. No one was like no he is a bemba he cant b president. Today why is it so different wit ba HH, does it min dat Tongas av no say in zambian politics? This is when we now can see ati pipo frm eastern province selfish they like wako ni wako. Am bemba and not Tonga i don’t suppot tribalism.
Nobody does, except those in whose blood it is inherent, such a H+H. No name mentioned. Let’s hear the mongrels bark at this.
The tone of the pre talks sentiments is like parties to the indaba have made up their minds what they will table and their reaction should their demands not be met. It’s like they want facilitators to play the role of arbiters. It doesn’t work like that, people should go with open minds and in the spirit of give and take. The current crop of leaders aren’t selfless, it’s difficult to achieve anything with such mentality. Instead of narrowing the differences the expected indaba might just further divide these chaps. Where is VJ?
Oh please noo, not VJ! He is a UPeND cadre besides his now stale in the brain!
what does erectile dysfunction mean

Go try mutototo,, vubwe…. ask hh how potent it is
Mama they are all here. The kleptomania thieves. Mama they started a long time ago stealing. Mama they stole someone’s identity & today they are parading themselves as him. Mama show us the real ECL. Stealing has been in there DNA. Mama they stole from a poor widow & today they are stealing from the poor nation, mama show us the sign. Ba koswe munpoto. Mama even those who have been supporting them are now suffering but because of shame they are failing to come out in the open. Mama show us. Baka bolala. They stole someone’s identity.
@S.M THE TRIBAL TAG STICKING ON HH AND UPND IS VERY CLEAR FOR ALL TO SEE. IT IS SO PROMINENT AND PRONOUNCED:
1. THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE SOUTHERN PROVINCE CONSULTATIVE FORUM SYACHEYE MADYENKUKU IN 2006 SAID ONLY A TONGA MUST REPLACE MAZOKA, BECAUSE UPND WAS RUN ON A QUOTA SYSTEM. (THE POST, 7TH JUNE 2006)
2. MORE THAN 80% OF UPND MPS COME FROM TONGA LAND
3. MUNKOMBWE, MWAANGA VERNON, MRS MWANAWASA CLEARLY TOLD THE WORLD THAT THEIR MARRIAGE TO UPND WAS FOR THE PURPOSE OF USHERING IN A TONGA PRESIDENT.
UPND IS CENTRED ON THIS ONE SEAT: TO “INSTALL A TONGA PRESIDENT AT ALL COSTS.”
REGISTERED VOTERS FROM OTHER TRIBES ARE SEEING THIS AND DO YOU THINK THEY WILL JUST OBSERVE? UPND NEEDS TO WORK HARD AT REMOVING THAT TRIBAL TAG. OTHERWISE IT IS THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR WOES.
I don’t support any one of you in the since that ,you are childish because you can not hate each other by exchanging rubbish words , why ? Think before it’s to dark .
Think wisely and talk wisely ,mwilatuma ama rubbish pampepo.XXX I love you all .
“This face is here Hagain!” Childish.
Tribal grouping and reasoning.
We will vote for a President who represents all Zambians, be it Lozi, Kaonde, Tonga, Bemba, Nsenga etc and not one who represents only 3 Provinces. As of now PF represents the majority of Zambians and Lungu is rightfully President. So come to PF and prove yourself. We will vote for you in 2026 after ECL. As for UPND in it’s current structure, they will never see the light of day in politics. They will forever be in the back seat.
Amen to that brother, we need a unifier not this ka semi “god” and his cretins!
SoKakoma, WHAT then is your response to the statements coming from the Commonwealth and Bariness Scotland? Its not enough to denay and accuse innocent people of faking your statement, tell usyour position wee!!!
Is h.h still crafting a statement? Can he afford to provoke Baroness Scotland like he has done to Ms Rogan?
That h.h is back against the wall and thoroughly embarrassed by the turn of events is an understatement!
Even Spaka cannot dare comment in case he embarrasses hish.h further. So all upndeez cadres are waiting for guidance from their demi god.
How I wish HH could emulated mazoka. He aways kept his cool . unlike HH and GBM. ..The later should be caged for GBV
Free advice: 1 fire small god Haluza Hagain coz the man is a chronic political looser. go to a convention. 2 denounce the long standing statement u publicly stated that on a Tonga will succeed a Tonga. Sorry but each time I remember that statement, it make me to almost actively join politics just to fight UPNDead. 3 UPNDead colony must speak well about Zambia whenever they travel outside the country.
If u follow my advice, u may perhaps form government in 2031 if not 2036.
Remember, fire your small god Hakaivotela Himwine.
ECL is president come 2021. Nafuti nafuti!!! Banjo ilile. Chivolume.
Umwenso wamwikata Ba UPND. Mulatina sana ba Commonwealth. We will now be using the Commonwealth and in particular, Baroness Scotland to whip you whenever you make noise like cry babies.
Mama show us a signal who is hh mama he is failing to use his father’s name chitongo because he was a thief and his father’s DNA of stealing is now in the son hence he doesn’t want to use his name mama show us a signal
I think this poor full government has now become a bunch of fools that’s why people with brains are leaving the party. They are criminals, thieves and dull people.
