  2. The first case against her ati alive ulemu to elders, Zambian tradition yalesa, kikikiki I feel pity for youthful MPs and councilors so olo bapanga movie nikufelache mukati chifukwa nima ancient relics?

  3. Mere internal party disciplinary issue which has been resolved . In every family and organisation people have differences. It is how we resolve those differences that matters. Unlike upnd which just expels.

  5. Useless decision. The MP was very disrespectful and Councillor just responded by bouncing back his insults. Suspension upon suspension as some people take advantage to position themselves for 2021 elections

  6. Is it really a party matter or a matter for Lusaka City Council to deal with? She’s an elected official and ought to be subject to the LCC’s disciplinary code.

  7. LT, this is not newsworthy – let PF display their dirty linen in their bedroom. Zambians know their character – hooliganism

  8. Hehehe……….

    But this PF is a party of hooligans masquerading as representatives of the people……

    Is this the video where structures where being built on road reserves ?

    PF turn criminality into internal party issues……

    This is what Anthony bwalya meant when he said PF have highjacked the country for self enrichment…..

  9. Good to see a party with proper rules and regulations which it uses to test it’s structures.

  10. And where are the voters who put these people in office? When we have dull Party officials this is the end result if anything all should disciplined especially the dull MP who thinks a Councillor is his maid calling her a girl. PF is ever creating its own downfall.

  11. They are already tearing each other before 2021 elections.

    Seer 1 told them they will scatter towards elections and it began.

    PF must go!

  12. This is foolishness! ati ‘tradition teaches us to respect elders” do you people repect your chiefs? Do you repect your superiors, the people who vote for you? You like to twist the rules in a very inferior manner. We should be allowed to conduct debates without fear. MP’s should not walk around as if they own the country. They are servants to the people and it’s time they started to show repect to their masters, the people of the republic of Zambia.

  13. This is f00lishness! ati ‘tradition teaches us to respect elders” do you people respect your chiefs? Do you respect your superiors, the people who vote for you?

  14. Iwe ka Chrispin Kabole aka Matero PF Chairman…you have no powers or authority to suspend an already suspended elected official…..

    The councillor is already suspended for 90 days from undertaking duties as a Councillor by the Hon. Dr Charles “Mbalane yaku Njanja” Banda and can not be suspended again by a chap without authority.

    Too many semi-illiterates have destroyed Zambia.

  15. Kaziya did well to ignore this id.oit
    He is an MP and this ward cahimani has no authority
    st.upid chap.
