The PF says it is concerned that UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema and his allies have continued on their usual path of attempting to frustrate every effort Government would make aimed at engaging the people in reforming the Constitution and other laws based on the Siavonga agreement to which the UPND were a part of.
PF Media Director Sunday Chanda said the behaviour by Mr. Hichilema is not strange as history can attest to how he has never supported any progressive bills that come from Government.
He said what Mr. Hichilema and his allies who are attempting to frustrate this process are forgetting is that the current National Dialogue Bill is much better that than the failed Church-led process which was unprotected by any legal framework.
Mr. Chanda said even if the church-led dialogue had succeeded, nothing was guaranteeing that Parliament, which is the only body mandated to make laws, would be compelled to adopt the resolutions without any question.
He said those who say that Government has not consulted the people when coming up with the Bill must also appreciate that in coming up with the many Bills Government continues to present to Parliament, no public consultation is done as is the case now on this Bill but consultation always happens when the Bill has been presented to Parliament.
Mr. Chanda said those desirous of seeing a better National Dialogue Bill have an opportunity now to make submissions to Parliament to alter the current Bill so it could reflect the input from the public.
He has reiterated that the People of Zambia have an opportunity to now conduct a well-structured national dialogue that is protected by the law to ensure we can deliver the Constitution and other law reforms.
Mr. Chanda said the people of Zambia can trust and have confidence that President Lungu and the PF mean well on this process and it is incumbent on stakeholders to seize this opportunity by making suggestions on how to improve the current Bill than just play politics to shoot it down.
Its a loser.
Sunday may sound sensible but he is a bully in plastic spectacles. Get a job!
@Nubian Kikikiki Sunday Chanda’s plastic testicles?? His testicles are balloons, don’t kick him between his legs.
The Delusionals Dictator HH has taken the literal meaning of “opposition”. Everything PF says he will oppose, oppose and oppose and so the Zambian people have opposed, and opposed and opposed and will continue opposing him at the ballot!
He mislead his tribesmen about the referendum and the Bill of Rights and today he is doing the exact same thing and the bantustans are supporting. Why cant you bantustans for once just differ with your tribal leader and support what is good for you.
One can not hide their DICTATORIAL TENDENCIES under a bushio without them bubbling to the surface for everyone to see. And progress is like “CRYPTONITE” to wannabe Dictators. HH, in his heart of hearts, believes that one day he will be President of Zambia. And he feels, it seems, it is NOT in his interest to make reforms/laws that would restrict his DICTATORIAL IMPULSES if and when he becomes President. I mean, how else does one explain his consistent negative attitude towards anything that spells REFORM or PROGRESS? Or is it that he just want to have something/issues to complain about and to keep him relevant next time he losses another election?
By the way, how can a Bill that seeks to LEGALIZE and LEGITIMIZE the dialogue process for Constitutional reforms/amendments be illegal…
Continue….
and bad? At this point, it is just a BILL to be debated in Parliament! Has HH even seen or read this Bill for him to make he sort of claims he has made about this Bill? Or he is just rumor mongering like he did with the referendum on the Bill of Rights.
I can assure you, if the PUBLIC ORDER ACT was to come up for reforms and a vote tomorrow, he would be fighting that too. Meanwhile, he is the same person who constantly complains and b!tche$ about it. So what should NORMAL people do other than ignore him?!
He is a wasted and failed project. Don’t mind him. Proceed.
“Bamene bali nakasaka”
Sunday F++king Chanda whats comment?
For a chap who has not seen a convention to test if he is still relevant, it’s a waste of time for Sunday to even respond to him
I feel sorry for Sunday. His fellows:
Frank Bwalya, Mukwita, Mwamba, Hapunda, Mumbi Phiri, Bishop Chomba, all didn’t take so long to bootlick to be given a job. He can’t be given even a job at state house? Please give him vacant ambassador to Kenya.
Sunday might commit suicide.
Sometimes its good to just keep quiet instead of attacking HH. He also means well just like PF meant well before they came into power. He is not the one calling the shots but PF is and why worry. His time will also come and PF will be in the opposition opposing anything UPND will be doing. Thats Zambian politics. The checks and balances should be there. He did not support too much nkongole and now we are seeing the offshoots of such huge nkongoles in form of kaloba or lunda-lunda.
Lets do the right things thats all otherwise it could not just be HH but others as well.
#Savoir : Pf can never survive in opposition, they won’t have akachola kandalama, that’s what keeps them together
Let the Government go ahead with this progressive bill. The opposition Upnd is very well known in shooting down the bills that are highly progressive like they shot down the bill of rights and started crying foul when it was too late to retable the same bill in parliament. One is able to see even from the distance that there’s something seriously wrong with this group of people who do not support a well calculated legal piece of legislation but busy advocating for an archaic national Indaba which is not supported with any legal backing. Let well meaning Zambians ignore the unreasonable rantings over this issue from the opposition Upnd party.
Sata promised the people of Zambia a PEOPLE DRIVEN CONSTITUTION not a PF constitution. HH and some political leaders are within their right to object because they have seen or read something not right in the bills you are trying to pressurise them to acknowledge.You Sunday were one of the people shouting about the president to not dialogue with the opposition and the church on national dialogue and yet you are just a party cadre. Why should everyone jump and agree to things that are not right? Some people are intelligent enough to see the damage in the future by laws to suit the present made in haste.
This Sunday Chanda gives us problems mweeh! The UPND media team is impotent…they cant defend our leader from this chap…where is the UPND media team kanshi?
Ba UPND FINSHI MWASHOKWA – ALO MANO YACHEPA @ Chef 186
Ba UPND…Sunday Chanda alimikulila…alikachefya…kikikikiki
Hichilema is an enemy of constitutional reforms…even under MMD, he directed his MPs to vote against the NCC Bill after receiving huge allowances and remitting them to UPND…He’s a shame!
We just have a foolish media team as UPND! Sunday Chanda is longest serving media head in PF…Edgar knows why he’s kept him there…to torment our media team which only knows insults but no substance…now President HH is left to defend himself from this PF media monster!
Fire the UPND media!
What UPND need is someone who can Fact-check like Chance does.
Where is the media team for UPND. If you think Chanda is a problem to you. Then counter-attack with Facts
So far Chanda is beating you single day.
It’s Politics Stupid !!!! And cry like babies.
Sunday should instead focus on promoting PF agenda and not attacking HH.
He’s being unproductive by wasting time and opportunity on politicking.
Sunday is engaging in fights above he’s level of office. In other words, he’s a boy trying to fight a grown man.
PF has enough senior politicians who should be engaging the opposition with merited facts and not just empty rhetoric.
Zambian watch dog is the official UPND media team, unfortunately they have become so unpopular and nobody takes them seriously.
Am beginning to question this guy’s intelligence. Even Theresa May’s Brexit deal is not supported by labour leader Jeremy Corbyn in a functioning democracy cause that is the role of an opposition leader to ensure checks and balance on all government bills. Bush Zambia ni ya Nyoko for HH to agree with every nonsense? bill?
bashi Nono tekanyeni, Sunday is talking about progressive bills. am also beginning to question your intelligence because you believe so much in your small god of dundu.
Sunday Chanda is not as smart as he seems to think.
Lately he’s been infatuated with HH with attacks void of facts.
Don’t you and PF got positive targets, and accomplishments to be reporting about?
Something is terribly wrong within your camp, Your every breath is spent on scandalizing HH.
The some opposition parties and the fake church leaders are beaten clean…..kkkkk
Arrest in fake church leaders meeting without police permitte.
Boma ni boma.
Just like you have never said anything good about HH. It takes two to tangle. I for one feel Sunday over does it. This guys, Emmanuel Mwamba, Lusambo, Madam Dorah and many more others, the way they insulted Sata, the names they called him, i keep wondering how they found themselves inside the ring. I will not be shocked if they were to one day find themselves in the center of UPND. Its a typical case of Sebana Wikute i guess
UPND has just lost the Kafue by-election to PF.
…Sunday Chanda is,the only one who tells HH the truth…I think he’s his worst critic but points out facts !
Ba UPND, you choke with bitterness. Sunday Chanda is on point! HH has never supported any progressive bill…point at one!
Can you point ONE PROGRESSIVE BILL from PF?
HH has contaminated politics in Zambia…its true
Sunday Chanda is always a chatterbox attack dog with nothing constructive to contribute to Zambia.He has to talk gibberish to stay on the “PF media director” job.
That’s where you miss it ba UPND…Sunday Chanda exposes your leader and you dont have someone to match his works against yourselves.
Single-handedly, Sunday Chanda cracked the Opposition Alliance…hate him or love him, he causes you mischief.
Lungu is doing GREAT (LOL) job by himself. No need to waste any more breath on Endemically Corrupt Leader of Plunderers Federation
UPND needed a person like Kuchunga to manage Sunday but sadly he was neglected to die by HH…like he did to Request Muntanga and that Mr. Chobwe, Kuchunga was used and dumped to die by HH.
Who in the team matches Kuchunga? Zero
Cornelius Mweetwa is frustrated because he knows that he wont be adopted by Hichilema in 2021…upnd media team is now Sean Tembo kikikikiki
Its like the PF Media Director Sunday Chanda is ever hallucinating about HH and other opposition party leaders not lacking tact in attacks and exposing mediocrity! My guess despite Sunday’s qualifications is that he carries a load of inferiority complex making me wonder what will become of him once the privileges he now enjoys are transferred to others by the Zambian people. The mouth is ever itching to spew something out about HH and if that does not happen the itching becomes hotter! I concur with the ones advising Sunday to tone down and plan a life of peace and comfort ahead!
Sunday Chanda you are right, hh has never supported anything progressive by government because he HH is a de.mon just look at how he manifest in public,the dancing in 2016 during campaign like a snake,fire of a chairperson for attending a cleaning exercise,neglecting of the late kuchuga,mulongoti, using crooked ways to deprive people of their money during privatisation,under valuing of national assets to benefit himself, and today this dem.on called hh says he has a heart for the people of Zambia what a shame. Go and pay former Bp workers.
Can somebody point-out to a SINGLE positive instance that can be associated with PF?
PLEASE IGNORE THOSE FRUSTRATING PROGRESS. BEING IN OPPOSITION DOES NOT MEAN OPPOSING EVERYTHING – EVEN GOOD IDEAS. SOME PIPO ARE JUST BITTER TO THE CORE.
I love how Sunday Chanda torments UPND kikikikiki…and sadly, they’re clueless
I dont vote but PF’s history of achievements will make them win 2021 with a comfortable margin….I can bet
Mwanya tu UPND…Your leader is stuck…you’re losing each by-election and will lose in 2021
“Twanawina, eya eeh…Twabawina eya eeh…
Mwabotufumo, Mwabotufumo ngabachula bamainsa”
UPND kuwayawayafye
I can see hatred of HH .current budget when he advised that do not remove vat and replace it with sales tax,PF went ahead and replaced now we hear Sales Tax implementation has been suspended indefinitely ???? learn from this man
If you don’t have what to say better shut you’re mouth
