The Patriotic Front has questioned the silence by the Commonwealth over the continued violence being perpetrated by the opposition UPND.
PF Secretary General Hon Davies Mwila says it is regrettable that the Commonwealth and other stakeholders have remained mute over the continued attacks on PF members and the destruction of their property by the UPND.
Speaking when he addressed party officials and members at Matero Community hall, Mr. Mwila accused the Commonwealth of siding with the UPND as they are always quick to speak against violence when it is allegedly caused by the ruling party.
Hon. Mwila’s comments come in the wake of the recent destruction of the party property in Sioma, Chawama and Mandevu constituencies by suspected UPND cadres.
He has further noted with concern that the Commonwealth are always quick to meddle into the affairs of Africa but cannot do so when the same is happening in the west and other European countries.
The PF Chief Executive Officer has since directed his members to be alert in order to thwart any plans of violence on them by the opposition party.
Mr. Mwila further warned that the party will not sit idle and continue to watch its members being attacked and their property being destructed by the opposition but will stand up and defend themselves.
Meanwhile, Hon. Mwila is confident that President Lungu and the PF will get 100 percent votes in Lusaka because of the unprecedented development his government has implemented within a short period of time.
He explained that the PF government has achieved more compared to the UNIP and MMD governments that had ruled the county for 27 and 20 years respectively.
The PF Secretary General is holding campaign meetings as well as checking on campaign command centers in all the constituencies in Lusaka district.
“He has further noted with concern that the Commonwealth are always quick to meddle into the affairs of Africa but cannot do so when the same is happening in the west and other European countries.”
PF is so predictable …even a 5 year old boy can see what they are trying do here. They had ban their friends for the past month to campaign whilst Lazy Lungu was on tour campaigning.
You are accusing them in meddling but you forget that the supplement your budget for elections…there is no leadership in this party next Kamba will spew out some more rubbish.

comment is awaiting moderation
The Commonwealth should be concerned of Sioma, Chawama and Mandevu?
“PF government has achieved more compared to the UNIP and MMD governments that had ruled the county for 27 and 20 years”? If they have achieved more why has the economy worsen? Why have the country fail to meet its debt obligations at some point? Are they talking about corruption achievement? To be honest the PF is the most corrupt government in Zambian history. Even paying off worker debt when for a while worker didn’t get paid is a white collar corruption. I hope Zambians won’t get deceived again.
It is because the common wealth favour the coon HH because they know if he wins they can control him and he will be willing to sell out Zambia for peanuts like he did during privatisation. Thank God pf will continue to win until the next century at the least. My partners at LT thank you for doing a good job at moderating the tribal upnd diasporan tariniyo
The statement is not very correct by Mr. Mwi. It is unwise to say President Lungu will get 100% votes in Lusaka. PF will be shocked that our beloved president Lungu will get less than 45% of votes in Lusaka. All the votes will go to HH.
It’s funny Lusakatimes allow Kaizar Zulu post insult on their site but moderate anyone who post issue about PF.

Yeah we are doing so well!
Tell us what you are going to do and not questioning people, the same characters saying we will do issue based campaigns, just start pretending to do issue based campaigns. And try to revive the economy in the last two weeks you have
PF lamentable failures, feeling sorry for these poor chaps, zero out put in government, total
Please International community for now stay away.

PF time out.
PF thugs are being attacked by common citizens who are fed up of their Extortion, brutality and wanton thuggery , and mwila is blaming UPND……..
Mwila complaining that UPND is using violence? And that nobody reacts? Not very surprising – PF and its lying thieving government has used violence for years without recrimination (remember the two shot and killed innocent citizens three months ago?) So if I was Mwila I would be VERY quiet…..
And I agree with the comments that LUSAKA Times is leaving KZ untouched with certain terms used while others are always moderated. LT you must know by now that this KZ has got nothing to do with the former advisor to the president Kaizar Zulu – KZ should be treated like everybody else!
…the simple answer is that pf alone are to blame…bunch of thugs! Why would Common wealth condemn the victims?
How come the AU and SADC is also doing nothing because PF are calling the kettle black, people in glass houses should not throw stones.
Its not the Commonweath that will exploit our country its the dirty Chinese that released Covid to the world. Remember the Commonweath is made up of mostly non white people. PF has got it all wrong.
Lol, the commonwealth is silent when there are issues in Europe and the west.
There is no commonwealth country in Europe apart from the UK and only Canada is in the commonwealth in North America.
Additionally, why is the RULING party crying for external control over violence?
Hahaha I blog just like anyone else. The difference is I don’t spew tribal hate like you upnd diasporans. LT continue moderating these hateful tribal upnd motherfcukers
