Attacks On Socialist Party Irks Fred Mmembe

Share

Socialist Party (SP) President Dr Fred M’membe has expressed concern over continued and coordinated lies against the party, saying the UPND is desperate.
Dr. M’membe says the attack on him by State House sponsored online publication Koswe are meant to turnish his image.
He says it is not true that he took àlcóhol and other ill!cit drúgs to Mukobeko prison, saying he does not even take alcohol.
“The attacks are not coincidental but they are deliberate and they are coming from the UPND. Koswe is protected and the people who run Koswe are known. It’s part of Mr Hichilema’s media team. Their campaign against us is there for all to see. The desperation where it is coming from we don’t know. But when you see your opponents who are saying you are nothing, keep on talking about you and fabricating things, everyday you have to put some news and say this is fàke news, where is it originating from? From State House through Koswe. Then you know State House is under pressure. President Hakainde Hichilema is behind Koswe,” he alleged.
“Why would I take alcóhol and ill!cit things into prison, I don’t drink at all. Nobody in my household drinks, why should I take drinks to prisoners? And also things that you take to prison are checked at the gate. Did they verify with any prison warder that I took those things? It’s an offense to take alcóhol into príson. I would have been scàndalized to the max if I took those things.”
And Dr. M’membe said attempts by the UPND to claim that he has joined the ruling party are aimed at bringing confusion in his party.
“It’s all an attempt to create an impression that there is a crisis in Socialist Party. I have never been a member of the UPND and I will never be a member of UPND. The issues of claiming that Fred M’membe and the Socialist Party are joining UPND were aimed at making people resign from their party on the basis that it is finished,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Dr. M’membe has refuted claims that he met Archbishop of Lusaka Dr. Alick Banda over a possible alliance with PF President Edgar Lungu as a running mate to the former Head of State.
“I met Hon Given Lubinda at Chilenje Police Station who had been down the previous days, he was not well. Archbishop Dr. Alick Banda is not in the country, he is in Europe. Where did we meet? And the truth is that I have never met anyone over an alliance. And it is simple, we cannot discuss any alliance without the authority of the National Congress of the SP,” he indicated.

  1. It is very interesting to note that he who attacks does not want to be attacked. Learned as he is surely should or ought to know what goes round comes around and if you live in a glass house……all the best. It is yet to get hotter! Remember how ECL made it burn after RB started the fire? People just don’t learn

  2. Fred Mmembe is just as useless as HH…..Fred Mmembe is a pompwe like HH….Fred Mmembe is a bandit just like HH…Fred Mmembe is a demagogue Politician just like HH

  3. Load shedding a good opportunity, stop crying, install solar – HH… Baly bwafya sana, is installation & solar equipment given to citizens for free by government for free sir?

  4. Both HH and Fred Mmembe are not good for Zambia. Mmembe spoilt many lives during Levy Mwanawasa’s time especially at Zambian Airways. We had relatives there and we know what he and his colleagues did to these people.

  5. The new government was not voted to provide free things. Under PF the country defaulted on its debt due to excessive subsidies and giving money stolen from the public pursue as free money to party cadres. The government didnot say install solar systems for free!! If you expect free stolen money go to Kasaka ka ndalama

    • Who says we want free things? To start with your relative accused the PF of stealing money by selling fuel at 17 Kwacha per litre. He said fuel was supposed to be at 10 kwacha, PF were stealing seven kwacha… the rest you know
      Next… we pay for Zesco power, it’s not for free. We pay installation fees so we’re entitled full service.
      You want people to install solar? Is it for free?
      Sometimes I say things that make me sound tribal so I will leave it there.

  6. Lets stick to the issue at hand. The new government has proposed as part of the solution to promote installation of solar and is encouraging people to obtain loans for this venture. This is not free solar installation. Deja Vu you are indeed tribal. You dont even realise that not all tribal mates are relatives!! Just because you think I am Tonga, you think HH is my relative. What bigotry is this. I either agree or disagree with your view no matter what tribe you are!!

    • Just continue chewing with them. You can’t even understand what we’re talking about. There’s nothing for free, but after sweating you get nothing to sustain your family… who’s getting things for free.. you. I’m sure you are posting from the embassy where you have been posted.

  7. It is good that you are now realizing how much it feels when falsely attacked because attacking others has been your daily bread. More are coming to you until such a time when you will repent and make yourself a better politician

  8. Awe ba mmembe bena ukutaliiiiiiiii! Dont we have any wise men in our country? Are we doomed with the likes of HH and Lungu?

    • It’s too early to identify a credible potential leader just yet. He/She would be arrested and charged with odd cases like he stole a neighbour’s chicken in Buchi when he was at Kitwe Boys Secondary school.

  9. If we were to discuss any politics in Zambia it is how Hakainde has turned our country into a banana republic. Gross incompetence and grand corruption have shot through the roof. The most frightened Govt ever. These guys are something else. Was it not Hakainde himself who called the police “morons”? Today Hakainde parades the same police he called names to guard him to and from state house. The country has been plunged several decades backwards because of these primitive acts by Hakainde’s Govt. You are locking up people for demanding what you promised, shame. Ouir colleagues from the “right tribe” please be sad because your tribesman is spoiling your future and your children’s future.

  10. Taste of his own medicine.Remember how you maligned maligned MMD and UPND using your POST newspaper? You even labelled UPND a Bantustan party.President RB referred to your newspaper as being upside . During President Sata,you chose to mislead him and be a “Praise Singer” even when he was making serious economic blunders.
