  1. Let us talk about Kasongo, the NDC chairman who was hacked by Bowman and his thugs. Please don’t use the death of this MP as a diversion.
    And as for Bowman, you better be worried because while you have PFs protection now, after 2021 you better pray the opposition do not win because you, Kampyongo, Chitotela and the many thugs causing problems will be in hot soup. Even PF die-hard Max Chungu has realised PF will not rule forever and has toned down.

    • True, best to focus on caging the thugs first. You see PF are already out campaigning, why Jonas out already.
      If they let Bowman and Kaizer go to Katuka, to campaign or even just funeral, someone may be murdered again.

    • Hypocrites ba pfooooooooooools.They are smiling because another bye election is coming and they will kill more cadres of the opposition, loot more money for the compains.Ba kawalala…

  2. From Sunday Chanda’s brother?? Campaigning already? That’s is like mockery to UPND.
    Anyway, if PF had honorable leaders they could have let UPND honor Patricia at Heroes Stadium.
    And Sata could have nominated an MP on behalf of UPND, and give the seat back to them. Unlike the current PF who are now busy ordering a container of pangas from China, duty free.

  3. The best way to respect this woman’s memory is to let the Upnd candidate stand unopposed. @1 please stop the nonsense of mixing topics. This has nothing to do with the “murdered ” cadre. Just as the PF is violent don’t forget that the Kambwili party is just as violent and there will always be unfortunate casualties. Just accept it.

  4. The police are waiting for corrupt thug Kazier to tell them to question Bowman.
    Wasted Lazy Lungu years indeed!!!!!!!!!!

  5. May the soul of the Hon.UPND MP rest in peace.
