Chilufya Tayali Demands Suspension of Benefits for Former President Lungu

Share

Chilufya Tayali, the President of the Economic and Equity Party, has taken legal action to halt the payment of benefits to former President Edgar Lungu until Mr. Lungu officially declares that he is no longer involved in active politics. Tayali’s legal representatives, Joseph Chirwa and Company, have submitted a formal request to the Attorney General’s Chambers and the Secretary to the Cabinet outlining their demands.

Tayali’s demands include not only a declaration from Lungu but also the necessary amendments to the Registrar of Societies’ records to reflect Lungu’s non-involvement in active politics. Additionally, Tayali is seeking an acknowledgment letter from the Patriotic Front (PF) Central Committee confirming that Lungu is no longer the party’s President.

Furthermore, Tayali has called for the immediate repayment of all funds disbursed to Lungu as part of his benefits, starting from August 26, 2021. This date marks Lungu’s purported resignation as PF President and his withdrawal from active politics.

Tayali’s legal action is a response to the ongoing declarations by PF Members of the Central Committee asserting that Lungu remains the Party President and that they rejected his resignation on August 26, 2021.

Tayali has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the government to implement the remedial measures outlined in his demand letter. Should the government fail to comply, Tayali’s lawyers have indicated their intention to initiate legal proceedings.

Attorney General Mulilo Kabesha has confirmed receipt of Tayali’s demand letter. Kabesha stated that he would respond within the stipulated period, pending instructions from the government. He also noted that any subsequent legal action would depend on his response.

Kabesha emphasized that his response would be provided in confidence, respecting client confidentiality and not through the media. The situation surrounding former President Lungu’s political status and associated benefits continues to evolve, and the government’s response will be pivotal in shaping its outcome.

    • @Kaizar Zulu started drinking PF Kool-Aid drink before he saw his first light on earth. PF is dead and done, all the PF thieves must go back to the land.

    • Tayali is not mad, Lungu has been obtaining goods and services by force pretence. Which amounts to fraud, like he has usually done

    • I quote the court disposition “…Mr. Zulu’s bodyguard gave him something to drink…upon him waking up, he was alone without his clothes with a condom in him…” they told him to go to the Quorum to collect his envelope where he found three muscular men waiting for him. They bundled him in a Range Rover and threatened him before dropping him off at the corner with an envelope in his hands…”

    • Tayali blows hot, blows cold. His confusion is infectious. He should be dismissed as a failed political clown.

  2. For Kaizar Zulu, whoever criticizes his boss Lungu must be assured of primitive insults. While Lungu is his hero, Zambians can never accept him back. Unless he convinces Zambians that his roots are in Zambia by only tellling Zambians where his village is situated. Simple question Kaizar Zulu. Can you please announce to Zambians as to where the village for your boss Edgar Lungu is? Just answer rather than ushering insults.

  3. The problem is that Lungu things he his very clever yet this man is a failure in life. Has done nothing tangible in life apart from being given a presidency on a plate which made him think he his so clever yet this is a man who could not even afford normination fee to stand for presidency

  4. I would take it seriously if it was coming from someone else. I’m sure reading between the lines the AK was having fun.

  5. One thing is if you attend a Catholic Seminary to become a priest and you don’t finish the process, you will not be a normal person. Those who abandoned have weird characteristics.
    How ever it’s okay to find out what is going on in Lungu’s medulla oblongata…. so that some people can start sleeping.

  6. Tayali has been living dangerously. His idea of siding with the powerful and rich in order to earn a living may just bring about a tragic end to himself. He annoyed many people in UPND with his rantings when PF was in power and he was eating with PF. He has not gone to each one of those he annoyed to apologise. Today he has turned against the PF. To those in the UPND who may still be aggrieved with him, this may be the most opportune time to “sort him out” once and for all. For if anything tragic were to happen to him now, the suspicion may not be on UPND but PF. Besides, everyone knows that if UPND were to lose power in 2026, Tayali may again turn against the UPND.

    • So you know him? For him to do what he’s doing just know he’s expecting something. Next time you will hear him complaining that he has not been paid etc etc

    • I have always said tiyali brings nothing positive to zambia………

      Lungu has probably stopped paying him ……….

  7. kkkkkkk yaba Ba TAYALI mmmmm and you have resigned from being a president of your party and what next now. Apa nomba you are absolutely confused is it. How can you dump your party. And this issue of ECL, this is a known issue, a letter has already being dropped to govt indicating that he is no longer in active politics and now you are the same people who want him to come back,give him space and he is not under house arrest wereby he can not move around, go shopping mmmmm and ba Tayali today you support.Be consistent with what you are doing because now apa ba Tayali it is like things are not ok with you.

  8. This Tayali prostitute has collected another payment. Even if they suspend Lungu’s benefits, he will still get them when he retires. There are people that have not declared their assets and have long list of lies. These are the people you should be talking about. The country has a food and fuel crisis and then someone is wasting time and money on things that have no effect on the Zambians. Let Lungu jog and return the money to whoever is funding you for this.

  9. Some of you are too emotional because even emmanuel mwamba has helped and slept with this guys wlfe. You think mwamba just helped them in Ethiopia out of his own heart. Life is chess

  10. With interest at 46% for each year and he should pay back money for the construction of Ndo-Muf.
    On top of that he should explain why he did not take President Sata, his uncle to hospital in time. Did he want him dead. And why Sata’s wife was not on the plane instead she was sent to India whereby shortly there was announcement of sad news and the wife was not present, nephew explain your self.

  11. I don’t see why people are neglecting their jobs to spend time talking about Lungu. Mr Hakainde Hichilema should realize that there’s only one president at any given time and this time it’s him.
    I see even that superfluous minister by the name of Nzovu has jumped from his schedule to talk about Lungu.
    You know slim people are cunning and Lungu is slim…. he’s enjoying these mind games and he will keep you busy from important things. By the time you realize, elections time will have arrived and the price of mealie meal would be at more than K1,000.00.
    People may throng around Lungu but he’s just a former president.

  12. If you do not deal with a family members contagious disease, just know you in line to get infected. MMD, PF and now UPND have tolerated this guy even when he was breaking the law. He has made it clear that he is for hire and the same way some people in the previous regime were allegedly hiring him, is the same way someone can hire him now to hammer them. What goes around comes back around

  13. The government should know that not every dog that barks deserves attention. Especially, if the same dog barks at its home and goes ahead and barks at the neighbor’s home. Government should know that a rolling stone will never gather any moss. People, like Tayali, are just distractors who deserves no attention.

  14. How does one guy change positions and alliances consistently and in the process offend everyone he has ever interacted with, with impunity. Unfortunately Tayali is a reflection of who we are as Zambians. He always finds someone to support his antics for selfish reasons therefore he will continue on this path

  15. Chilufya Tayali is a very un-principled hired political mercenary. Who has paid him to meddle into the affairs of other political parties? Yet, Zambians are languishing through the worst traumatic economic, social and political persecutions since October 1964 – a phenomenon that must prompt political leaders to respond to the plight of the nation. Well-informed African leaders are extremely embarrassed to witness tyranny evolving in Southern Africa. Apparently, the World will not come to an end in August 2026, but life will continue to thrive thereafter.

  16. Ba Chilufya lekeni ukuimweneshamo kwati you have not been to school.Sometimes what you say is inspired by demons you need delivarance.Last time you went to apologize to chief Mukuni,Honestly ba Tayali stop it and be a learned person.This is issue you are talking about is a non stater it can’t happen ECL can’t do that he has already stated his stand and stop hustling ECL please.If you are man start fighting for mealie meal to be reduced that is all.

  17. Go to Cabinet office
    A documemt there says Lungu resigned from politics
    If PF doesn’t have a president, it can never be Lungu’s fault or Tayali’s problem.

    “Tayali is seeking an acknowledgment letter from the Patriotic Front (PF) Central Committee confirming that Lungu is no longer the party’s President”.
