Patriotic Front Youths in Mufulira are disappointed and discontent with the apparent statement made by Kabushi Member of Parliament Bowman Lusambo that the recently held Copperbelt Provincial elections were useless.
PF Mufulira Youth Chairman Victor Mithi notes as a senior Government official and member of the party, they expected the Lusaka Province Minister to have a tamed tongue and be an advocate of sound counsel and advice.
He said as the party, they are dismayed by such rhetoric which is tantamount to indiscipline of the highest order because the recent ended Copperbelt Provincial elections were handled by the Central Committee which is the highest organ of our party.
“The elections were officially opened by our Republican and Party President, His Excellency Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu who champions democracy and made it clear during his speech that the peoples voice should be respected.It therefore means that Hon. Lusambo is putting the party and Central Committee’s name into disrepute an offence which should not go unpunished”, Mr. Mithi said.
He said such frivolous attacks are unwarranted and only meant to misdirect the goodwill and reputation of PFs remarkable democracy which was exhibited at the just ended Copperbelt Provincial elections.
MAsr. Mithi said the youths believe in the voice of the people and hence the majority ushered in their preferred candidates and it is therefore prudent that the people’s will is accepted by all party officials regardless of stature whether in the party or government.
“We are aware of the sly innuendos targeted to the newly committee by forces with hidden agendas but we want to warn these forces that they should allow our newly elected committee to work within their confines and space because as youths we will not allow any negative force to deprive our elected officials the chance to perform within their mandate”, he added.
He has since asked Mr. Lusambo to tone down and accord the new executive committee the respect it deserves.
“We further advise the Kabushi law maker to do a self introspection and instead provide guidance in the divided Kabushi Constituency. We also call upon our party hierarchy to ensure that discipline is adhered to by everyone in the party regardless of their stature”, he said.
Mwandi lusambo just hammer these waffles whose only preoccupation is dancing for nshima in Pf. Cretins
Even Mumbi Phiri said it that Copperbelt a former PF strong hold has turned into a kindergarten class room.
You can’t have ka Nathan Chanda as chairman, the party is not to fight Kambwili.
There we are. now we can all see that this guy is not a leader. He doesn’t know the principles of collectiveness. He only agrees with some thing if he is leading it. It’s a selfish principle that most dictatorships are made of
If lusambo really said that then it goes to confirm that he sees himself as the next president, only now it seems he can’t wait. His presidential ambitions have been clear for all to see. Hence he went all out to announce a preferred candidate, something other’s didn’t do. Let’s see how far his displayed ambition will take him
Party with a lot of problems.some ministers they don’t qualify to be ministers, anyway in pf everything it is possible.
None of these people have the interest of Zambians. It’s amazing that all the talk is partisan, at what point will these people begin to serve Zambians as opposed to their bellies? This purported indiscipline is indiscipline by these youths who continue to push agendas that do not ultimately serve the larger population, so annoying
Lusambo didn’t want that boy Chanda to win because even when lusambo was copperbelt minister that same boy although just a mayor used to undermine him because of his connections with the secretariat. In fact the same secretariat has made him win the chairmanship.
lusambo is not PF he is MMD…..minded
Lusamboa? That thing has never been my favourite. I hope the powers that be can dismiss it forthwith.
Chief Muzungu Wanga that Lusambo followed by those two boys in the Embassy of Germany
Looks like he is a loose canon, hard to tame
He said that he is like the President of Lusaka. So he is more powerful and more clever than those little party provincial committees on Copperbelt.
This time I support Lusambo. The intra party elections of the PF have never been credible including the the 2015 (?) Mulungushi Rock of Authority in Kabwe ones where they were voting by the show of pangas. The current ones across the country are no exception. I have met many who complained against these particular ones in Kitwe where even some candidates were barred from entering on the basis that entry tickets had finished!
There was one favoured group and the powers that be made sure most of them won.
Poor finishing
