An opposition official in Mazabuka District has called on politicians to desist from attacking President Rupiah Banda and instead offer constructive criticism that will improve the livelihood of the people.
UPND Magoye branch chairperson, Ackson Mainga told ZANIS in Mazabuka today, that the current attacks being targeted at President Banda are not healthy for the country’s development agenda.
Mr Mainga charged that opposition political leaders especially UPND president Hakainde Hichilema and PF leader Michael Sata should realize that politics of insults cannot take the country forward as people are not interested in the volume of attacks but development.
He advised politicians with the people’s interest at heart to engage the President in meaningful dialogue over the problems confronting the nation rather than engage in witch hunting.
Mr Mainga added that even the purchase of hearses and mobile hospital should not raise eye brows among opposition leaders because government is there to provide a service to the people of Zambia.
He said people in Magoye are not happy with the incessant attacks on the President whom they said has done well since being voted into office six months ago.

Boooooooo!
Mr. Mainga, can you please keep quiet and just join Movement for Mad Dogs. Leave Presido Sata alone and continue insulting your leader whom you do not respect.
RB will not give you a job my dear. Respect the two opposition leaders who atleat have direction for better Zed.
Ba Ackson Mainga, the problem with you people is that you don’t even know what you talk about. you like using borrowed words. I wish you knew what constructive criticism is. it doesn’t mean not attacking the people in power. Anything that comes from the oppsitions in opposition to the ruling party to you is not constructive yet the other way round no matter how rubbish is. I can assure you that if we stopped criticising this RB and his fellows for the wrongs they do today, then, that would be the end of our nations development because even the little that we see is a product of those critics.
The thing is that you are making him so popular by saying his name averyday. look at how S.A. president Jacob Zuma was created. the guy came out of nowhere, just like RB, the media and the opposition did all the campaigning.
Mainga u ar the cheapest Job seeker am seeing, u dont hav displine in yo mouth. Just shut up
Chewe,
I give you great respect man for what you have shown me in he “Sata accused of making tribal remarks in Northern Province” topic.
I thought I was the only one who new “Space Physicist Maestro Hhehhehhehhe – mulombe uuzwidda-kumusanza ” in those angles. In almost all the senses you described him, I too have already done that in my heart. I f he is a person really with a Zambian heart of God, I think he will have time to sit down reflect what he ought to be. I mean, start respecting peoples existence no matter his opnions just as I respect RB no matter my opinions. Chingeni ba Space Physicist Maestro Hhehhehhehhe – mulombe uuzwidda-kumusanza.
should read, “CHINJENI BA…….or change your attitude young man, there is still time.
No human being on earth is a “God” By being in politics & public life, RB must be criticised & accept criticism. In a democracy like we have in Zed we need to be guaranteed freedom or speech. If the bloke wants to be respected, let him go to his clan where they will praise him. In politics we need to remind him that he is not wamuyaya as KK once made us believe. Damn this cheap political gooners with cheap rhetoric
I can only endorse the statement from #8 ABWENZI, gone are the days of these blind followers. Genuine leadership is signified by tangible success and will definately withstand criticism of any sort.
RB has not been insulted. He has been criticised for mismanaging the affairs of the country and for being corrupt. If Mainga does not know the difference between insulting and criticising, the best he do is to shut up. When it comes so called hearses, why not buying ambulances that will carry living human being to the hospital or clinics. Buying a vehicle to carry coffins or caskets for the whole country is a waste of resources. When have we failed to burry the dead? Who is more important a living person or a dead one? How many people will be using or have access to those hearses? Sata was right when he said that RB is just interested in burrying people instead of keeping them alive. How I wish HH and Sata could come to their senses and team up to remove this MMD.
There is no success without criticism
What??? lets face it Mr Mainga, your Presido is a public figure, both of you should just take it as it is…
You are answerable to so many Zambians who put you into office.
If you expose your incompetencies, expect to be Booooooooed off as #1 has said.
shut up if you do not know the role of the opposition. if it is constructive they have every right to criticise the individual who holds the seat of presidency. i for one support the revelation of all of rupiahs inncompetent actions

Seems effects of credit crunch have hit the unprincipled likes of Mainga, Lifwe fimo fimo & siulapwa the most. LT, next time i find these lickers as news items, i’ll proceed on sabbatical leave. Where do you even find them i wonder?
The problem is that RB has been responding as well
