United Party for National Development – UPND Chairman Lusaka Province Obvious Mwaliteta has condemned in the strongest terms Kelvin Bwalya Fube’s vulgar and distasteful language which he used against President Hakainde Hichilema, in the Diamond TV interview that was carried live.
Mr Mwaliteta mentioned that the Mr Fube’s use of words such as irresponsible, liar, incompetent, circus referring to the President of the Republic of Zambia is in itself irresponsible, offensive and has the potential to ignite lawlessness, adding that their Party will not support that against their political adversaries.
“We appreciate the excitement by the opposition over their newly found freedom of speech but let them exercise this right responsibly, while bearing in mind that President Hakainde Hichilema has law abiding supporters who must not be pushed too far,” he said
Mr Mwaliteta questioned as to who is a liar between a President who promised to employ 41,000 teachers and health workers and did so within a year of becoming President, and a person who woke up a Judge at night to sign dubious papers, to usher in the most corrupt and reckless government in the history of Zambia?
He further questioned as to who is incompetent between a President who has brought down a runaway inflation to a single digit and a man who was suspended by the Law Association of Zambia – LAZ for being crooked.
Mr Mmwaliteta added that who is irresponsible between a President who has eradicated political violence and thuggery and a man whose party thrived on bloodletting, brutality, corruption and theft of public resources.
“Which leader flourished in a circus between a President who uses a commercial airline to foreign lands and a President who flew dozens of musicians abroad at a huge cost to taxpayers, a leader that was ushered by a man who woke up a Judge in the middle of the night?” he said
“Mr Fube must not throw stones in a glass house because we are capable of exposing him even further than this. Let him exercise his checks and balances with sobriety and maturity and let him take this as a friendly reminder. We will not tolerate anyone insulting the Republican President under the guise of freedom of speech,” Mr Mwaliteta said
Meanwhile, UPND Chairperson for Energy Charles Kaisala has cautioned Mr Fube to desist from telling half truths about the electricity situation in the country, adding that Mr Fube went as far as accusing President Hichilema of being the most irresponsible President in Zambia’s history by continuing with electricity exports at the expense of local consumption.
Mr Kaisala said that in his style of half-truths and at times complete lies, Mr Fube dismissed low water levels at the Kariba dam as the cause for load shedding insisting that the power plant is currently generating electricity at its installed capacity, he went further to mislead himself and members of the public by alleging that Maamba Coal Power Station is also producing power at its installed capacity.
“I wish to call on my brother KBF to avoid talking about matters that are too technical, having very little understanding to avoid misleading himself and misleading members of the public like he did last evening. While this load shedding crisis has only been with us for two weeks I wish to assure members of the public that the New dawn government is doing everything possible to reduce load shedding hours from the current 12 hours to 6 hours by next month and down to 3 hours by end of March, 2023,” he said
Mr Kaisala has since assured Zambians that the UPND energy policy is to create conditions for the provision of safe, reliable, efficient, cost reflective and environmentally appropriate energy services to all sectors of the economy on a sustainable basis, under the able leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema the UPND is on course to deal with the energy crisis, stabilizing the economy and unlocking Zambia’s potential wealth by stimulating growth, creating jobs and increasing the revenues available to invest in services, focusing on education, health, energy, social services, the youth and women’s empowerment and projects that will help to diversify the economy and branch out into value addition.
Give them the freedom they are excited. In a year or two they will not even know what to do with it
Hh could be called both..
He has delivered some and is yet to do the others… He shld prove to his critics that he is not a liar as he is being called.
Can someone simplify the description of liar for the sake KBF and Mwaliteta.
The UPND govt and party hierarchy know that the clock is ticking for 2026 and yet don’t have the election message to tell the people. 40,000 employment for teachers and health workers was made people by the previous govt who prepared a stage for you through infrastructure development in schools, hospitals and health centers. There has been so much repudiation on the campaign promises which has made party faithful followers to lose confidence in the president and his govt.
Where is @ Kaizar Zulu,he should respond to this statement by Mwaliteta on KBF
If HH hadn’t made that boastful brag that he had eliminated loadsheded, nonentities like KBF wouldn’t be so brave as to call him uwabufi…. but there he was like a male peacock showing off its plumage only to see the wind pluck it out. He lied and left everything to a miraculous luck.
Mwaliteta, tell your president to bring down the prices of fuel, mealie meal, fertiliser and the dollar otherwise we will continue to call him a liar
Kelvin Bwalya Fube is just a coup leader who helped to put into power the most corrupt Malawian dominated regime in Zambia. When I was working at the bank he used to cash in false cheques. His father actively participated in killing UNIP members by setting fire on the building on the Copperbelt as a convinced UPP tribalism in those days of political turmoil. Mwaliteta is completely right. This chap is a dirty criminal and merciless thief. What he cares about is only money and grabbing farms fro his clients.
In fact KBF left out other words/phrases that perfectly describe BMW (HH) like: useless, cowardly, crooked, the wests lapdog, tribal, economic hitman, vindictive, clueless, wasteful of taxpayers money,…I could go on and on
I beg can someone put me in a cage with this ugly f00I and throw away key so that I beat him until he starts crying and wailing like a pregnant hippo
KBF is not to be trusted…………
He was part of PF brutality and rigging in 2016 ……….
He even blackmailed lungu on TV by threatening to spill the truth if he was not paid $3 million owed to him by PF…….
Shut ya hot smelly mouth
Mwaliteta ,welcome to the real world. Obviously, Obvious cannot stand the heat!!!
Who does not know that we have a lying president? He lies with a straight face. KBF is saying what he has seen. He may be what you say, but Mr Mwaluteta Dont wait for someone to tell your president that he is a liar rather advise him to stop lying we are not children.
