THE Committee of Citizens has challenged Law Association of Zambia president Musa Mwenye and honorary secretary Paulman Chungu to resign from the organisation for dragging it into partisan politics.

Executive director Gregory Chifire yesterday accused Mr Mwenye and Mr Chungu of using LAZ as a platform for spearheading their personal and partisan agendas.

He accused the two of being PF sympathisers.

Mr Chifire said in a statement issued in Lusaka yesterday the partisan inclination of the two has the potential to divide the association and draw it into public odium and ridicule.

He said Mr Mwenye and Mr Chungu are contravening the provisions of the LAZ Act with impunity.

Mr Chifire said the abuse of LAZ by the two and other individuals has affected the confidence of members of the public in the association.

“It has become increasingly difficult for the general public to respect the views and activities of LAZ because of the compromised positions some individuals have taken in an attempt to mortgage the association to the Patriotic Front (PF),” he said.

Mr Chifire said the Committee of Citizens is not surprised that individuals such as Mr Chungu have come out strongly to defend their president, Mr Mwenye, over the several politically inclined statements he has issued recently because they are both sympathisers of the PF.

Meanwhile, Mr Chifire has said his organisation is saddened by the LAZ leadership’s failure to condemn the PF for barring some media institutions from attending the opposition party’s recent general conference.

He wondered why the PF prevented the public media from covering its meeting when LAZ is on record to have strongly accused the ZNBC of bias in news coverage.

When contacted for a comment, Mr Mwenye declined to speak.

  1. Gregory Chifire should be the last person to talk about being partisan. By the way Chifire, what happened to your other organisation called “Sports Management and Marketing Association of Zambia” where you were the Director of Markeing. Did you lose funding because of misappropriation?

  2. Who mandated you Chifinyo to be meddling in the affairs of  legitimate and credible organisations like LAZ?  

  3. Which general public are you talking about Gregory Chifire you and your prostitute wife plus you untamed kids. Speaking from your bedroom does not constitute the views of Zambians foolish chikala chobe

  5. That was a very good stance Mr Mwenye not to comment on the allegations by this lazy man. The issues u raised were serious ones which needed to be supported by any normal Zambian.Wat good can come out of that man Chifire? I urge laz to forgiven this good for nothing man who depends on his wife for survival.Let ZNBC,TIMES,DAILY CHANGE THEIR COVERAGE TO INCLUDE EVERY ZAMBIAN IN THEIR NEWS COZ ALL ZAMBIANS ARE BEEN TAXED TO SEE THESE INSTITUTIONS RUN.If that man chifire hasnt seen anything wrong with the way these institutions are been run, then there is something wrong with him, it is him Chifire who is suppose to resign and not LAZ President who is representing the good of all Zambian.get a life Mr Chifire this kind of life will take u no where

  6. Zambia has really gone to the dogs. What has become of Zambia Daily Mail, Times of Zambia, and ZNBC? They can not report anything until they get Chifire’s or Lifwekelo’s views! What is so special about these guys and do they hold the monopoly of wisdom?? Are they probably higly learnt or what?? Can someone shed some light…….

  7. Iwe Chifire it’s you is supposed to step down from your position coz you’re a political scarvenger and lunatic. You’ve always sided with your pay-masters the MMD hoping to be rewarded for your useless bootlicking monkey tricks….LAZ is a body of well-schooled professionals not your kantemba NGO….Grow up

  8. Small Musa wamona nomba, leave politics my man.Let not your good image be tarnished over ba cobra and his homosexual friends.

  9. Mr Chifire,how much do they pay you for you to sell your intergrity in this manner?Which citizens does your comittee of citizens represent?

  10. First of all,when you talk of [Zambians] who are referring to? Is it Rupia Banda, Dora Silya, Ronne Shikapwasha and william Banda,!!!!, or you including us? Let’s hope we are not included because if  you do, then you are really demented and so are your sponsors.

  12. Gregory is a failure;
    1. He failed to completed his degree @ CBU
    2. He speaks without using his processor/brain
    3. At CBU, no one voted for him to be COBUSU president and failed the exams as a bonus for being a failure.
    In conclusion gregory you are more than a failure and this has extended to your sister Angela Chifinyo oooho Chifire

  13. Maybe Mr Chifire, deserves to be forgiven for exposing his extreme and unbelievable levels of ignorance about the Statutory mandate of LAZ, moreso that this gentleman has openly chosen to support his preferred political party, as a matter of his endowed Constitutional right.
    The well reasoned concerns raised by LAZ through its mandated leaders can not be easily ignored nor trivialised by any sane independent mind, unless personal uterior motives and benefits re at stake.
    If anything,I think LAZ needs to be louder than the present case, coz many re the areas of public concern,for or against the powers that be, which beg levelheaded redress.

  14. Zambia Daily Mail, Times of Zambia and ZNBC are really useless. How can this Cifire failure be their source of stories to carry? Chances are that what this Cifire f00l says originates from State House and these useless media houses with their spineless editors are instructed by state house to report whatever rubbish he says. What a country !

  15. Ok, it seems that “sebana wikute” is now in full force till the morning of the results…thats when when we shall see the same shameless bootlickers trying to see if they could now lick the other “jombo!”

  16. Ok, it seems that “sebana wikute” is now in full force until the morning of the results.Thats when we shall see the same shameless bootlickers will find out that they have been licking the wrong one and try to see if they could now start licking the other “jombo!”

  17. Cifire, why don’t you state the provisions of LAZ contravened by Musa? 
    If you have nothing to say, learn to keep your mouth shut you daft prick!
