THE opposition UPND says it will not relent on the motion to impeach President Edgar Lungu.
UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma, in a press statement on the way forward on the impeachment motion, stated that his party would continue “to apply pressure for the motion to be heard”.
“We wish to inform the nation that the UPND and other progressive forces will continue to pursue the motion to impeach Edgar Lungu,” Kakoma stated.
“Although the motion was not debated on Wednesday last week (March 28) because the Speaker’s office ‘sat’ on it, the UPND will continue to apply pressure for the motion to be heard. We are aware that similar tactics used during the presidential election petition are being used to stop the impeachment motion. The presidential election petition was not heard [and] now they also want the impeachment motion not to be heard. This will not be allowed.”
He stated that the UPND was noticing a trend where “fake propaganda” was being amounted against the opposition political party in order to divert the attention of Zambians from the impeachment motion.
“Three days ago, the nation was treated to the most unreasonable and wild allegations that the United Party for National Development had mobilised funds to bribe independent members of parliament to support the motion to impeach President Edgar Lungu from power prematurely. The nation must have been awed by such baseless claims by the PF through David Silubanje, who claims that UPND was offering US$1million to each independent MP who would support the impeachment motion,” Kakoma stated
They need the impeachment motion to distract our attention from the Analytica Cambridge scandal their president is involved in.
The voice of reason always eludes our colleagues in UPND, the reason why even a one man parties of SATA, The PF brushes them aside and LUNGU, a conman of yesteryear and once an ordinary member of their party, UPND just ‘sweeps’ them aside on his way to STATE HOUSE. UPND need to redefine itself otherwise and grow up or they will be stuck where they are, opposition.
Enemies of progress. Always crying to be heard like child or a pregnant woman.
So now because you want to impeach ECL you recognize him as President? Empty tins make the most noise for sure!
Sheka sheka fye nsoka … these guys are snakes. Miswema yeka yeka fye bane.
And we will not relent in making sure this frivolous impeachment is not brought up for debate.
There are more important things to do in order to develop this country than waste time with 5 time losers’ political ambitions.
Sancho …
Dictators think that its always them who think or can do better than others. I’m afraid to say that this is what everyone in upnd thinks. Whatever games you are playing, please spare us this nonsense. Wait for your chance
I font get it , PF are a majority party , what are you afraid of ?
So now after deporting people left right and centre you now think your shadows in parliament will vote against you ??
UPND is outdated
Fine….
Thats not the topic here. Why are you distracting people from the impeachment motion? Let the MPs debate and vote and we will see who really is outdated
They are dead. Like UPNDEADs.
Devils in UPND, the attempt to impeach a legitimate President on flimsy grounds cant and won’t work. It’s now very clear that UPND is so scared of the impending 2021 humiliation by President Lungu and now they want to cause chaos in the country. What has emerged is that HH has been informed that now with M’membe Socialist party on board UPND will be relegated to 3rd place if not 4th hence the sleepless nights.There’s now real competition in opposition and those few votes in their strongholds are up for grabs.
@Malinso or KOSWE, Lungu is not legitimate but the opposition are stuck in one place while LUNGU is moving all the pieces on the chess board. At one point petitions was the only word out of them wherever they went now it’s impeachment. SATA was versatile and navigated his way to the promised land. Ati ba HH! Fisekeni.

The devil in UPND is troubling them to shed blood in Zambia. They said (UPND) we will bring Armageddon just because they lost elections. One prominent color for secret devil agents is red so is Membe’s socialist party. I wonder why people support this blood thirsty monster in the name of UPND and HH. God save Zambia.
Hehehehe now seeing devil’s in a constitutional routine ??
Mwafunta manje makawalala imwe….
You right. UPND is now a Rebel movement
Politics ,politics ,politics and 24/7 electioneering as our national sport has done lots of damage to our development .Serious focused nations like Singapore are now laughing at us and our eternal self imposed poverty.UPND & Kakoma please spare us the nonsense until 2021.
Staginant minds who can’t think beyond today, it did not occur to you that if lungu is not brought to task, he will use the same tactics of disregard of the law in the next elections? In Zambia a President is untouchable, hell not in a democracy, you are to used in dictatorship where you have no say. He broke the law of which he took an oath to uphold, to advantage his reelection campaign UPND is right to impeach him.
Which law did he break?
No back door way to state house.Elections 2021
Some motions should not even be entertained. Its obvious the bantstan party has no numbers even if they have $1 million aupenhemer money to spend. The ANC showed them that no party can vote itself out of power. So when time comes, like the and did, someone will take over from EL. Not a bantustan sponsored agenda. Panse!!!
So let the voting commernce badala….no need to be paranoid..
The impeachment motion should go ahead for sake of good governance. PF will still remain in power whatever happens.
I also dont understand why PF is developing cold feet when it is plain that the motion will be defeated or is there something brewing in the party which the majority Zambians do not know?
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU WERE GIVEN STRICTLY INSTRUCTIONS BY YOUR ALPHA AND OMEGA… YOU ARE SIMPLY FOLLOWING ORDERS….OR ELSE ….
Hehehehe badala…..
You have the numbers….unless you are counting your shadows as UPND , what are you afraid of ??
Now this is medical case paranoia….you start deporting people anyhow and think UPND have captured your shadows to vote against lungu in parliament ??
Hehehehe …..
Impeach Kakoma’s badly conceptualized idea. Until 2021 we don’t wanna entertain the culture of electioneering -its strictly time for nation building damn it.
42/42 and moving mukula in the dead of night when everyone is sleping is stealing not election building….
They are destructionists. Sick puppies.
Charles Kakoma merely seals what most Zambians have come to believe that the UPND leadership is a bunch of leeches which have agonisingly strained the minds of the most right thinking Tongas. However, former UPND supporters now have a cleat option to switch their allegiance to either Hamududu’s Party or Mmembe’s Party. The message is on the horizon entailing the END OF UPND’S political life.
Then just debate and vote in parliament ?
What are you afraid of ?
They tried the COURTS, failed and now have a shot at the NATIONAL ASSEMBLY before they unleash miserable mayhem at the EXECUTIVE.
Sick puppies.
Mr speak ignore those jealous people,they are cope cuts with no agenda apart from being triballist .zambia is bigger than a party , which contradicts it’s on agenda.
harles Kakoma merely seals what most Zambians have come to believe that the UPND leadership is a bunch of leeches which have agonizingly strained the minds of the most right thinking Tongas. However, former UPND supporters now have a clear option to switch their allegiance to either Hamududu’s Party or Mmembe’s Party. The message is on the horizon entailing the END OF UPND’S political life as HH experiences the most unexpected rebuff from Fred Mmembe whereas his MPs are just servicing their gratuities from Parliament.
The agenda of upndeez is to stop government of Lungu from performing so that it fails completely and then in 2021 they can claim that Lungu fails. They will continue their agenda for five years. That it is the people and the development of Zambia which suffers does not bother them, to them one h.h representing a clan is more important than 15 million Zambians.
And dialogue? Forget it, its dead. But when dialogue is dead then under the current political atmosphere some people will be locked up again.
Hehehehe …….just put the motion forward in parliament and debate , you are the majority badala……now you even are afraid your shadows will vote against you…..
Hehehehehe…….but PF , are you all drunk with lungu ??

Please impeach those who have abrogated the law. The constitution must be respected by every citizen without exception. That is the only way Zambia will develop.
Hh is more of a witch doctor who tells you since you have drunk my blood you will do wat ever I tell u , upnd MPs are on soup
Humpty Dumpty tribal polarising party.
Three Mansions gives out free blood?!!
Devil worshipers.
A long time ago we wrongly believed that when someone has a bald head he is a reservoir of manners and wisdom! No more! (Sorry, not in this man!)
Sharon when you don’t see HH you become Victor……just look for a husband.
Impeachment is the way to to remove thus self imposed head of state currently occupying plot 1. This heartless Rwandan foreighner must be stripped of power which he forcibly acquired.
UPND is the only hope for Zambia which is currently under siege by Lungu and his PF morons.
Zambia does not belong to Edgar Lungu and his PF cadres most of whom are also foreigners here in our country Zambia.
@Truth and you are the only Zambian in all this!
Laughable
Viva UPND VIVA! VIVA Zambia forward VIVA! Put pressure on these criminals called PF.IMPEACHMENT IS THE WAY TO GO. LUNGU HAS NEVER RESPECTED OUR CONSTITUTION EVER SINCE. LUNGU THINKS HE IS THE LAW HIMSELF. THIS IS BECAUSE LUNGU IS HIGHLY CORRUPT. LUNGU EATS CORRUPTION.
You dislike Lungu because he stood for elections first time and won.
Your God has tried 5 times and failed.
It hurts to lose to a first timer
We do not think lungu won…..why did he block the petition ? Like he is blocking the impeachment debate….
As they say, when an alleged rapist refuses to take a DNA test , people can deduce…
And you eat violence. That karate chop symbol tells it all. It means forward with violence.

Where is 6.5 njimbu ? I thought you had the numbers for your very popular leader ? What is lungu afraid of ?
Upnd are worried that should things improve before 2021, HH stands no chance of winning the election. Strategy is destabilize the situation so that due to suffering Zambians will vote the PF out. HH is got a lot things he’s not telling us. Nawakwi has attempted several times and failed but hasn’t shown such desperation as exhibited by the lizard. Zambians take heed, don’t be taken in by this man. You’ll regret.
Hehehe ndanji ndanji….
You are the majority , now you think hh will instruct your shadows in parliament to vote against lungu ??
badala, I am on record saying lungu and pf do not have enough money to bribe all Zambians…..now those feeling arrived amogest them are thinking twice about how to vote in the impeachment…..that is the folly of doing wrong illigal things….eventually you even start to suspect your own shadow….
Your man has tried Petition it failed, the international community it failed, Mongu it backfired on him, impeachment it will fail. ..what options left? Hire mecenaries. …such desperation has lead to many deaths of innocent people. Advise him to let it go. Will being a president add anything to his life. ?
Ndanji
What are afraid of in the impeachment debate ?
First; your impeachment will not succeed because so far non Upnd MPs who have been approached so far have declined 2nd even if Lungu is impeached it’s not going to change my life one or another. I have lived through different governments and I’ve needed is freedom to generate my livelihood honestly. And here am I very independent of anyone. I defend Lungu because 90% of what you people say about him is false and out of hateful desperation. 10% As a human he’s bound to make mistakes. …in any case who doesn’t make mistakes ? Maybe superman HH.
Ndanji…
So if the impeachment process will fail, what is the problem …?

UPND why not try real issues.
why do u want to impeach him when you dont recogise him? nibu sadducee ubu…..Recognise the man then you can proceed. otherwise what ever you are saying is just a chorus of retrogresive song
Do you impeach the President whom you don’t recognize? It will be good for you HH and your people to hold a press brief to tell the National that you ,you RECOGNIZE ECL .and at the end Zambians will know who TRUE YOU are if it’s like this then to VOTE For HH share waste of Time
I initially I thought the UPND MPs’ Impeachment Motion was a waste of time becoz PF has a Majority in Parliament. I was wrong. The idea of Impeachment was brilliant and the grounds for the Impeachment are powerful and legally sound. The grounds and timing of the Impeachment has divided PF and now PF is desperate to block the Tabling of the Impeachment Motion in Parliament. Lungu has realised some PF MPs are disgruntled and would secretly vote for the Motion to impeach him. Lungu is now scheming how to block the Tabling of the Impeachment Motion in Parliament in the same way he blocked the Hearing of the Presidential Petition in Concourt. Lungu has captured both Concourt and Parliament. Will Lungu succeed in Blocking the Impeachment Motion in June 2018? Even if he succeeded the…
Analyser, BR Mumba and indeed others against the impeachment of Lungu, you have really surprised me. Your analysis is obviously obtuse. Instead of thanking people bringing to the fore bad things that this government is doing, you are busy insulting them. We should be lucky to have UPND as an opposition. Others are lukewarm and simply toothless!
@Grandfunk
What laws has he abrogated?
His the misinterpretation of the constitution abrogating?
Is saying ;ubomba mwibala impeacheable?
Come on guys lets be serious
Mwamupata fye
Mimbulu
“…@Grandfunk
What laws has he abrogated?…”
That is why there is a debate …..to find out ….
This is a joke.
You cannot impeach someone with FAKE NEWS.
You are supporting impeachment blindly because HH has said so?
No…..42/42 among others…lungu sanctioned $1million for a truck that costs $300,000……42 times.
Stupid *****s, just how do you impeach a president you don’t recognize in the first place? FoolisHH indeed you morons!
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE OVER UPND’S IMPEACHMENT TALKS, CAN YOU DENY THAT ALL LEVELS OF ALLEGATION ON EDGAR ARE FALSE AND IF THEY ARE FALSE WHAT IS YOUR REACTION OVER SOMEONE WHO STEALS VARIABLES FROM YOUR HOUSE AND AFTER YOU HAVE CAUGHT HIM WHAT WILL YOU DO?
I have no issues with that upndeez, continue to store the hate, knowing that you will emerge the loser. The old adage “a chemical harms the container in which it is stored” is as true today as it was when it was in the 12th century. You cant treat the Zambian people as collateral damage in your hate of one single person for the ego of another single person.
Before you know it upndeez will be a shell of itself.
The only collatrol damage is the looting and stealing by PF……just have the debate badala…you even afraid now thinking your shadows will vote against you…

Ati UPND will continue pushing for impeachment of President Edgar Lungu,SO WHAT OR WHAT WILL YOU ACHIEVE?Nothing.kekekekekekeke.ECL will remain our president until 2021-no two ways about it!!!
Garry Nkombo told us that by wednesday 27th March,2018,Zambian will have a new president…..DID THAT HAPPEN? NO!!KEKEKEKEKEKE.UPND IS INDEED A PARTY OF LOSERS!!!at first,it was petition daily,then HH’s treason,42 Fire engines,now its impeachment….kekekekeke!!these guys in upnd do not get tired of losing in life!!Almost everyone in 6.5 provinces laughs at this loser Kainde!!
But we wish you luck as you seek milk (impeachment) from a rock!!!AT THE END,PF LEADERSHIP WILL CONTINUE ENJOYING POWER UNTIL 2021!!
Prophet of doom?
Staying ministers after resolution of parliament was abuse of power by your President, that was why the Court ordered the monetary beneficiaries of the day light scam to pay back – deny this fact. Why did lungu do it, was it not to use government resources to benefit his reelection against the law, hell this is a big charge, in the Western world he was supposed to resign whether he won election or not.
Typing error, meant dissolution of parliament
HaSixteen! or HaFournteen!
Please change the photo!
impeaching someone you do not recognize.Is UPND going crazy?
UPND can only win a presidential election if a Bemba or an easterner stands on their party. A tonga standing for a presidential elections on the UPND party shall always kiss the ground. Look at HH, he has already kissed the ground seven times and he thinks an impeachment will get him straight to state house ulabeja mwana!!!
if the impeachment goes through which I highly doubt madam Wina will still be in charge and come 2021 the great PF party will continue to reign will you HH will still be crying over spilled milk.
UPND please save us the drama and adopt a bemba man.You can adopt the following
Nevers Mumba
felix Mutati
Bwalya Mwamba aka GBM
Nalumango Mutale
Sylvia Masebo
mwakafula Nkonde
impeach HH who has overstayed as party President
SOUTH KOREA
Park Geun-hye, the impeached former South Korean president, has been jailed
“The defendant abused her presidential power entrusted by the people, and as a result, brought massive chaos to the order of state affairs.”
TRY THE SECRET BALOT ON LUNGU HE IS USED TO THE RAISING OF HANDS – PF WILL BE SHOKED! THIS MAN’S ENEMIES ARE IN HIS OWN PARTY NOT HH.
