Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Amos Malupenga has described former Information and Broadcasting Minister Lieutenant General Ronnie Shikapwasha as a blatant liar who has no shame and sense of appreciation for what the public deem to be the best.
Mr. Malupenga says Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha should be the last person to comment on the operations of the media in the country.
He alleged that when Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha was Minister of Information, he changed the public media to government controlled media at the expense of the public’s desire to know the truth and get what they deemed to be of their interest.
ZANIS reports that Mr. Malupenga was commenting on a statement attributed to the former minister where he alleged that the public media is worse than he left it during the Rupiah Banda regime.
But Mr. Malupenga said Gen. Shikapwasha’s complaints on the public media operations are baseless and lies.
He said the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) government had totally changed the image of ZNBC to an extent where it openly acted unprofessionally as it operated with instructions from government.
Mr. Malupenga stated that he has evidence which he is going to share with the new Director-General at ZNBC on how the former government instructed the public media in its operations.
He said this was meant to enlighten the new DG on what his ministry had discovered.
He further said it is clear that the former Minister and his Permanent Secretary Dr. Sam Phiri did give instructions especially on the editorial comments of the Zambia Daily Mail, the Times of Zambia and ZNBC to repeatedly broadcast events that where only of the ruling parties interest.
He said the said document was signed by the former PS Dr. Phiri confessing that the instructions were also given to the institutions on who to cover and whom to attack.
Mr. Malupenga, however, stated that since coming to power, the Patriotic Front government has tried to bring a balance in coverage by ensuring that all political parties are given a platform to air out their views without any interference.
He added that during Lt. Gen. Shikapwasha’s reign President Michael Sata was only given coverage during freelance Journalist Chanda Chimbas’ program unlike the current situation where opposition leaders are given coverage most of the times.
Mr. Malupenga also disclosed that the ZNBC board will be announced as soon as Parliament ratifies the names of people that have been submitted to cabinet for scrutiny.

Here come in another boot licker. For information of Malupenga, ever since he became PS in the Ministry of Information, many Zambians have switched off ZNBC and opted to view and listen to local and international independent TV & Radio Stations for genuine authentic news. Such newspapers as Daily Mail, Times of Zambia and The Post, which have been infested by crooks, have all been shunned and now join the scap of litter that has polluted our streets. The full message for Malupenga is that he is the biggest NOXIOUS WEED in the Ministry of Information. It is a pity that Chibamba Kanyama chose to commit suicide for being part of the mess in govt-controlled media institutions.
GOVERNMENT OF FOOLZ….FULL OF TUPONYAS..THE MEDIA IS JUST THE SAME AS THE MMD LEFT IT,,ITS NOW WORSE WITH UKWA…
Yaba, Mr Amos just because you are now PS u think U can just talk whatever nonsense comes to your head…..how old are you to talk to an old man like RS like that. Zambian politics is Bull# especially now with people like you. Chancers!
Malupenga, you talk as if you are still with the post. You are not a politician. You are being paid tax payer’s money. It is not long before you leave that office and then we shall see you.
1-4, YOU ARE ALL BLIND
malupenga ichibeleshi ninshi! ive noticed that abatutu rarely respect elders!
mututu sana uyu mwaiche uyu!
But that is what you are also doing Amos. you are also a blatant liar.
By the way Amos,where is the Online Post Newspaper? Are you realising that it has become irrelevant.
Mr. Malupenga, however, stated that since coming to power, the Patriotic Front government has tried to bring abatutu in leadership positions to mess things up!
from ,1,12,3,4,6,7,8,9, 10 you are all useless don’t just attack amos,todays znbc is different from mmd ‘s regime .today all political parties are covered.and it nice to watch znbc.eg baby shakira hh ,red lips mwila,chamwenso mumba,straight talk chipimo,kwahaye milupi and mwanawakwi are freely expressing their views on znbc .and the news is worth to listen to on znbc.
# 11 and which ZNBC is this!
That kind of language coming from a PS is very surprising. Kaponya language should be avoided by people occupying government positions. Such raw language should only be used by the riff raff and not a PS. It is high time Zambian government office bearers were taught what to say and what not to say and not to use words anyhow as if they are high on dagga all the time.
Mukwabo, just protect your job and please your employer. What your elder brother did its the same what you are doing to please and defend who employed you. Who is sincere or honest?
The Pf must privatize ZNBC, DAILY MAIL, Times of Zambia and only remain with ZIS.

ZNBC is much better than last year, young Amos is right & we are now enjoying it, TOZ and DM. These guys are now covering evebn the “pompus regional tribal leader”.!!
If I were you Amos, I would sit in my position quietly. You were put in that position for your own benefit, and that should be your focus rather than attracting unnecessary attention. You make no sense every time you open your mouth. You got that job because of lying in the name of a journalist, which you are not.
this chitawala malupenga is a silly chap
