  1. PF should not even think of floating a candidate in Chipata in Eastern province in next years election. We are voting for the opposition this time. The current PF MP is not bad, he just belongs to a party which has failed the nation. Don’t argue with me, argue with economic stats. Economic malaise started way before Covid due to reckless borrowing.

  2. Now we hear the PF has written to the 3 MPs who did not vote for bill 10 in parliament to exculpate themselves, I hope the speaker will protect these guys because they are supposed to vote with their conscious and not what the party says, so assuming these 3 were to debate the bill, they should have been debating in favour of what they did not believe in. If the UPND MPs follow instructions to walk out of parliament they are condemned that they are following party interests instead of national interest, so for PF there is no national interest, the MPs should just vote for what the party wants. Very autocratic party. MPs should vote on what they believe is good for the people
