The United Party for National Development (UPND) has accused the Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) of looting the national treasury in the run-up to the national elections.

UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma says that the UPND has evidence that the MMD has gotten bicycles meant for the poor people.

Mr. Kakoma discloses that the MMD has forcefully gotten bicycles from the ministry of community development and social services, and redistributed to the MMD candidates to entice them to vote for them.

Mr. Kakoma in an interview with QFM radio further discloses that the MMD has also gotten money meant for women’s clubs to aid its campaigns.

He says that the action by the MMD cannot entirely be described as corruption, but also plunder of national resources for selfish gains.

Mr. Kakoma has warned Zambians against voting for a political party that is plundering resources meant for national use.

He has expressed sadness that the MMD is selfishly campaigning using tax payer’s money at the expense of the poor Zambians

  1. Yaba elyo babuka mutolo ba Under 5 , instead of attacking ruling party you are busy attacking fellow opposition, now it is when you have seem what MMD is doing

  2. Just wondering were the money to buy all those biycles and canters came from! It could have been worth buying linen for a children’s ward at U.T.H. its pathetic!!

  3. Nosense Mr. Kakoma and your tribal Kachasu political party. Are you trying to betray the pact you have with MMD. I can imagine how many parties you will engage before 20th. Anyway, zambians have forgetten about you after PF is not interested in Tonga votes, keep them and posible you should break away from the rest of the country.

  4. The heat is catching up wiyh all oposition political parties. The game is on. Only the dtrong survive. Chweeeeeeeee! alila mwana

  5. PF supporters want always there leader to make head lines when they know that the man SATA will not win the elections. As you are aware, PF is alarmist party but there is no real issues to talk about concerning PF what they will do when they form government. SATA always talks about Banda, Post newspaper were very embarrassed when he failed to articulate any national issues. Mmembe has shown that he is very afraid of his company closed by the debtors Post newspapers PF promised them that, they will be assist if PF wins the elections. PF after these elections will be history.

  6. kakoma and your southern province party had even taken part in the looting at NCC, what are you now talking about? you concentrated all your efforts in attacking MCS, very soon you will be stranded in choma.!

  7. PF has been exposing a lot of anomalies in the run up to elections day. UNPD & other Opposition parties thought PF was wasting time when clearly the elections playing fields where NOT even. The other Opposition parties were thinking they were ahead of PF. PF was fghting for all Zambians to stop the misuse or abuse of resources on behalf of all Zambians i.e. vehicles MMD brought into the country Duty was not paid. Its sad that it’s just now UPND is realising MMD corrupt when in the night, they have been trying to come up with a PACT with them.

  8. Mr Kakoma, if you have run out of money for campaign just say so. There are still 35 more days to campaign. I hope by then people will start walking on foot to address Rallies.

    We have the machinery to campaign , a bicycle is just a dyonko for our cadres.

    Its too early to cry. You Guys had the chance to oust us out through Pact but due to your selfishness, you are now tasting your own medicine.

    On 21st September, you will regret the day you disbanded the pact.

  9. You might as well resort to a door to door campaign as well. It pays , though time may not be your best;;;;;;;tough luck, you may try your luck in 2016; I hope by then HH would have matured.

  10. PF Cadress, what wrong has Kakoma done? Is it wrong to state that MMD natoola fwe from Community Development. wake up and address issues. Here in Zambezi we are campaining door to door. No need for bicycles

  11. yaba zoona ni white hair mumutwi kanshi amano yaba mu under five brains.are you not the same people calling kabimba names when he raised these issues.tonga interllectuals no njelu.i wonder the kind of contributions be it on radio or o the net.

  12. #5
    if thats the laguage for PF surporters then this country is going no where why cant u stick to issues instead of tribal remarks

  13. You are now waking up to reality that MMD is up to no good. They hoodwinked you into believing that you can work in partnership with them, but MMD has always been deceitful, with hidden agendas.
    PF has been exposing MMD and its dirty campaign tactics.
    We want democracy not hypocrisy as demonstrated by MMD

  14. PF and MMD are both plunderers whose leaders have documented evidence. Recall Sata and Chiluba, they formed the worst corrption team ever on earth. PF and MMD have no heart for ordinary people, they fatten themselves and never think others. Sata has even hidden his wealth and claims to be worth K109 million. What about those several former council houses he declared previously? Zambians, this is how we get hoodwinked. This is not a joke! Sata is gearing for more thieving. PF and MMD have reached the end of thinking capacity, only have failed recycled ideas. One Zambia, One Nation. Zambia Forward, Vote HH and UPND

  15. Dont Worry KAKOMA, DONT KUBEBA IS WORKING. Let them distribute bicycles, they will be answerable just after 21st sept. NI DONT KUBEBA CHABEEEE.

  16. Bashiti you are *****s you think you bembas can survive alone, you who believe in stealing.Bwato buzabunda………………………………………………………

  17. @dead body –You dont need Tonga votes neither do we need your votes.We are hard working and are able to feed ourselves.Nowonder why you will never find us begging on streets.How many Tonga kids have you ever found on the street? or how many Blind tonga have you ever found begging?You call your selves Bo cangamuka but you sleep in corridos….we dont need to join politics for us to survive.we have skills……ono mebo candicima

  18. Can some of the UPND people here point me to a list of UPND parliamentary candidates? I want to analyse the tribal distribution and compare to PF. Thanks in advance

  19. BEMBAS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE TRIBAL,SHAME ON YOU! WE CAN’T JOIN HANDS WITH THIEVES, YOU THOUGHT WE COULD SUPPORT SATA FOR PRESIDANCY MWANYALA….so you are conviced that you can’t do without us.

  20. Ba Kakoma atleast you are still brave enough to attack MMD. I thought Mufumbwe scared you. Otherwise you spoke sense and for us we say DONT UKUBEBA. USE THE SAME BIKES AND TRUCKS TO CAMPAIGN FOR PF. PA BWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  21. UPND,do not be that desperate by lying through your nose over MMDs campaign materials.You are just doomed because you have realized that UPND is destined for another defeat.Had Mr.Kakoma been sensible,he would have asked his Boss,HH,where he got his money from than engaging in this stupid baseless witch hunting.No wonder they call your Boss/party UNDER FIVE,grow up.

  22. Elections are won by money in democratic states. You cannot expect to run campaigns without raising money. All along in Zambia, the Party and its government (UNIP) simply grabbed state resources to carry out its campaigns. MMD came along in 1991, raised its own funding due to numerous well wishers, but by 1996 the P.I.G. returned. Levy was voted in by tax payers’ money in 2001. Court evidence is there. In 2006, everyone’s eyes were closed because of the trial against Chiluba, BUT at last Zambians are woken up. RB is clever. He knew this would happen and raised funding from various sources not to use GRZ money at last. All that the opposition can do is belch halitotic hot air. No evidence.

  23. #22, You should learn to keep your tribalism to yourself, no wonder UPND is disintegrating. Under Mazoka, this was a party I was proud of but it has been hijacked by people like you who thinks UNPD is for  southern province only. Continue with your tribalism and see where it will take your party, because at the moment UPND is not making any inroads anywhere apart from Southern province, the origin of the great founder.  

  24. #33 rubbish, people are using tribalism to divide the pact. And Mr Kakoma is happy to jump in. What a sad man. If they could provide a list of candidates we would see which party is “tribal”

  25. Give us a break ba U5.Whilest you were busy fornicating with PF in your defunct pact, MMD was busy mobilising funds for campaign.So dont start hurling sheet at us and concentrate on your tribal club.

  26. Bitter Pill @28, U hve failed to arrest HH because of clean funds he makes. Your obsession of pushing this old crap to state house show how much you hate him. He is finished, get over it! We love this old man but he should have run the race earlier. Sorry, its time for young at heart with issues to atticulate.

  27. Humble request, Can UPND please publish the 150 adopted candidates and tell us where HH is has he barred his head in sand?

  28. Tonga party, indeed the following is their TONGA LIST
    President: Hakainde
    Kanyama: Hamatako
    Lusaka Central: Hamuchila
    Kabwata: Haimbuwa
    Kasama Central Hachilindi
    Kafue: Pastor Hanzala
    Munali: Hamusana
    Vubwi: Hamundi

    and so on, its country wide Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  29. Iwe #32 if you are really anti-tribal, why did you pick on #22 alone when there are many tribal rantings by others like #5? It just shows you’re just another shallow minded tribalist.

  30. UPND like PF should not waste time salivating on MMD campaign materials.The planning for elections starts from the day a new government has been sworn in.So when the PF and UPND were busy harassing RB to announce the election date, they should have ensured that they had all it takes to operate an effective campaign. Crying over bicycles and the lot will not help.

  31. Typical *****s, the man is saying the MMD government has plundered and you are worrying about the tribe your leaders with malformed brains come from! Can you all put your hands in your back pockets and massage your brains!

  32. tonga is a major tribe some bemba chaps have failed to influence..just like lozis regard bembas as thieves who want to have everything on a silver plate.

    So what I can see is that nearly all Zambian tribes have been represented. So how is this a triabal party? Please let us be objetive and stop being petty. I am non aligned
    and non partisan and wish that fellow Zambians would have matured by now but how wrong I am!

  43. SELFISH PEOPLE ARE OF A FEATHER….One can only imagine what would have become of UPND had SAKI managed to win the party presidency…Hungry stomachs are not good for higher leadership positions. The bulk of women on READY FOR MARRIAGE claim they went into prostitution to make ends meet. The Asset Declaration exercise leaves me wondering what the KING is in politics for… At least I know what Mike Mulongoti, Derrick Chitala, George Mpombo, Judith Kapijimpanga are always interested in… HH deserves our votes because he is a damn good economic strategist. After entering politics one would have expected his assets to reduce… Wow… this guy needs to be given a chance. Let us put him in state house.  HELLO HELLO, HONK HONK…

  44. Wapya baisa, ndeta ndeta ndeta ndeta ndeta ndeta oweeeeeeeeee napwilila,
    NDONCHI UKUBEBA, next week friday twabmbiza pa Kitwe, twalibalasa the A- Team PF candidates, I feel sorry for those that RB appointed to stand in Lusaka, CB, Northern, Luapula, Kabwe, Kapiri, Kafue, Western, Chipata central, Mkushi, Lamba land ye ye ye ya mayo eee, umwaiche Patrick Mwanawasa nalonga bonse mu bwato kale,

  45. Blah, Blah, Blah. The ill-prepared candidates will always try and find excuses for not writing exams. The truth of the matter is that everyone knew that 2011 is a year for elections and the MMD and their President prepared well for the Campaigns and now people are grappling at straws trying to find ways to discredit the rulling party and its resources. If you’re not ready then maybe you shouldn’t have entered the race to start with. Focus on your candidates and your President and leave us alone. Provide Proof and stop misleading the Zambian people. Why not hold Press Conferences on the status of your campaigns. Chwerelaaaaaaaaaa, Chwe-Chwe

  46. I have an issue, not with the MMD getting bicycles mean for the poor (for it is very difficult to prove this), but with the reasoning, logic and rationale a govt used to buy bicycles for the poor in the first place. Can anybody explain to me how bicycles were or are going to help with either food productivity or poverty reduction even if they were given to the poor people.

    I leave others to discuss the alleged plunder of bicycles and want to just concern myself with ‘what the logic of intending to distribute the bikes was’

    I therefore postulate that the bicycles were bought not for any poor people but for the campaign in the very first place. 

    Vote them OUT!

  47. Shut up iwe ci Kakoma, at night you busy scheming with these same thieves on how to defraud us finshi wingatweba.

  48. All Tonga tribalists here ought to be ashamed of theselves, why are you hurling insults at other tribes? Zambia is for all tribes. ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION

  49. UPND, why are you complaining??? It is tax payers money, thererfore our money – FOR US, THE GAME IS DONCHI KUBEBA!! Bring the bicycles!!! MWAAAAAMUKOLOOOOO!! PAAAAAAAABBWATOOOOOO!!!!

  50. “Enviromentalist”, with your rich HH, why not just hire a posh hotel for your press conference to announce your candidates – FOR SUCH AN INTELLIGENT STRATEGIST IN HH, did he not factor in a few kwacha to hire a venue???????? You are overloading the internet with some insignificant ranting!!!

  51. Jealous at it’s best from Mwanta Kakoma ,where you all along you thought RB was a finished but he has shown you the act of preparedness plus disciplined team work.For HH ,handover leadership to someone else or fuse yourself into MMD September 21st.
