Patriotic Front (PF) Chairperson for the manifesto committee, Given Lubinda says the ruling party will not be tempted to hold rallies against Covid-19 protocols just to prove its popularity to the opposition.
Mr. Lubinda says it is highly irresponsible for any political party to insist on having public rallies and gatherings just to demonstrate their political clout while risking the lives of people.
He says political parties should not wait for mass fatalities before obeying the Covid – 19 golden rules as stipulated by the World Health Organization.
The former Justice Minister explained that the Covid-19 regulations are not created by the PF but health authorities at global levels, hence the need to take them seriously.
Mr. Lubinda who was flanked by PF Luapula Presidential Campaign Manager Katele Kalumba and other members of the manifesto committee was speaking during the manifesto sensitization workshop for the Luapula PF leadership and candidates at Mansa’s Sali Lodge.
He wondered why some opposition leaders are insisting on holding rallies against the health guidelines and Electoral Commission of Zambia guidelines.
He has since urged PF members to lead by example in avoiding mass gatherings while campaigning.
And Mr. Lubinda has implored PF candidates to fully acquaint themselves with the manifesto if they are to communicate effectively to the electorate.
Mr. Lubinda explained that the ruling party has invested heavily in developing its manifesto in order to equip its members with the right message and knowledge during campaigns.
He said PF candidates and campaigners should focus on issues as highlighted in the manifesto and not attack individuals.
Comfort yourself Lubinda, uou amassed wealth already let’s hope it keeps you up to next year before we see in patapataz begging for a Jon from Bally.
PF must go!
We don’t need to break rules to prove anything because our work speaks for itself. Look at the development taken to all corners of zambia. Only desperate tribal party like upnd continue to break rules
DOESNT LUBINDA REALISE HIS COMMENTS ARE MEANINGLESS PF IS FINISHED
ALL THAT REMAINS FOR THEM IS TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR ACTIONS IN THE COURTS
Mu PF kunya ameshi. No one wants PF those that are following are just caders and a few hungry people hoping to get free money or Shakeshake!
People should stop booing if they want empowerment.
BOOING WILL CONTINUE TILL PF IS DEAD AND BURIED
VIVA BOOING
They hold Rallies and pretend to inspect Projects and carry out “working Visits “. They were holding Empowerment Deals without observing Covid-19 Guidelines. Now they are stopping HH and UPND Alliance from Campaigning during the Campaign Period. So how can Zambia hold Free,Fair and Credible Elections without freedom to Campaign and of Assemble? The ECL controlled ECZ is incapable of conducting Credible Elections in Zambia. Its obvious Zambia is heading for Violent,Rigged and Disputed Elections in 2021. The writing is on the wall.
There is nothing to prove when you have lost popularity.
KZ and Lubinda are shameless liars! You have no message for the people of Zambia. Asking people to to vote you back after the worst performance in government ever recorded in a zambia. Who is a fool here!
Who is Given Lubinda in PF? These remarks should be coming the President but he is busy out and about bribing voters ….
Tarino cant you read simple English? If you read the article you would know what position given Lubinda has. It is clearly stated chimbwi iwe
“They don’t break rules” – no instead they shoot at the opposition! Incredible
