A scheme by former Katuba MP Jonas Shakafuswa to return to Parliament has been exposed.

Mr. Shakafuswa is said to be behind efforts to have current MP Dr Patrick Chikusu expelled from the MMD and thereby cause a bye election which he plans to contest under the UPND.

The scheme is said to be well advanced with MMD Councilors in Katuba including musician Chris Aka and a Mr. Mwachilele who are being used to push Dr. Chikusu out of the party and cause a bye election.

Sources in the MMD revealed that the two councilors have since received hefty kickbacks from Mr. Shakafuswa to facilitate the expulsion of Dr. Chikusu from the MMD.

“What we know is that these Councilors are been used by Shakafuswa to malign Dr. Chikusu and hoping that would result in Dr. Chikusu being fired in order to occasion a bye election in Katuba, he thinks he is still very popular and can win Katuba is a bye election is held,” the source said.

“The councilors have been to the Secretariat to spread falsehood against Dr. Chikusu but our independent investigations as the MMD have shown otherwise, Dr. Chikusu is still committed to the MMD. Chris Aka and his friend are being used by Shakafuswa.”

Further investigations have revealed that Dr. Chikusu feels betrayed by the conduct of the two councilors.

“These councilors are ungrateful, Dr. Chikusu has really helped them so much, for Chris Aka, this is the man who received K 3 million for his ailing music business and a further K 6 million and the man is today stabilising Dr. Chikusu in the back, even Mwachilele should be the last person to betray the good Doctor,” the source added.

When contacted for a comment, Mr. Shakafuswa explained that he has nothing to do with Dr. Chikusu’s problems with the MMD.

“Off course I want to return to Parliament but let Dr Chikusu deal with his own problems and not drag Shaka in it,” he said.

  1. He is not good looking

    He was comical though and should return, what a terrible sight this man is
    well compared to NicK

    Thanks

  2. “…and the man is today stabilising Dr Chikusu in the back.” are you trying to say “stabbing Dr Chikusu in the back”?

  3. Uyu muzezulu azavuta! I can imagine myself contesting for a parliament sit in Zimbabwe. I agree with ka Mushota, he added some life in the parly with his comical style. Still there is no development in lenje land of Chief Mungule despite being 6 miles only from the capital Lusaka. These MPs simply manipulate the voters, get away with CDF and enrich themselves. This Dr Chikusu cha nsima is also extraodinarily docile. He only mingles with the elite.

  4. People who have nothing to do in life….

    I think Zambia has gone to the DOGS. Thank GOD i left long time ago

  5. Evn if shaka’s succeeds in havin dr chikusu hounded out of parley he wont succeed in winnin de byelection (or is it erection since he lykes slaughterin women) under de upnd

  6. Dr. Chikusu is so docile that no one really misses him. I think Shaka was a better MP than this PF surrogate. What is the use of having MPs who dont add any value to their constituencies. Please spare us this embarrassment. Yes Chikusu should go. AKA work hard to remove this dinosaur.

  7. muleikalafye bamwisho takulipo abanakashi balya mwalechita screw.inompindi ku parliament kuli abantu abali matured.takuli mwanawasa ulya uwalemisapota.

  8. It will be nice if Mr Shaka returnes back to parly because he had been a hard worker for Katuba. Don’t think Shaka would want Dr Chikusu to be thrown out of M.M.D.MR Shaka please come and join us in the Pabwato boat so we can sail together and develop Katuba. All the best my friend.

  9. And who is this guy again? awe image pabipisha, please it’s time we had some Olivier Martinez, George cloony type of young MPs, am sure epo baba, elo kavalidwe, kuntu wabutuka mwe!

  10. Ba engineer naimwe natumfwa…, epo mwambile ati “thats why i left long time ago”, lekeni nomba msg naifika!

  11. Ata Ba engineer fumeni apa who cares ngamwaliya. Shaka leave Chikusu alone just continue fighting wth) since u ejoy fights

  12. Ba Engineer you will be a phiri anabwera ,i think that’s what hurts you because if if you went back , there is nothing for you.Shakas njala yamunyonkola these people rely on Government to look after them.Try and survive outside mudala.

  13. @ Engineer for someone who left Zambia long ago you sure like poking your nose in our affairs. You comment more than even local Zambians. May be its a matter of missing the pure life of pa Z or no oNe is encouraging you to come back?????

  14. Just wondering what this fake engineering is up to. He is always boasting that he left Zambia long time ago and yet he is strikingly interested in the affairs of Zambia. You guys in the useless diaspora we know the dirty jobs you do and you feel shy coming back because you have nothing. just continue distributing newspapers, washing plates, cleaning the old white people and sleeping in a one room, while us here in Zambia we make money and build mansions. I feel sorry for you guys.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  15. Kekeke, ba Engineer baliya ka? but umone dedication ukukonkelesha ilyasha lyapa Zed. Get a life ba kamba nama aborigines!

  16. Dr Chikusu worked with RB to hound Shaka out of MMD for supporting Magande, who today would definately be not appearing in court. Looks like a second half encounter. Chikusu cant beat Shaka in Katuba without RB’s major input. Katuba is today a very fast growing constituency. Thanks to Shaka. ask him what he has done to Katuba in the past 1 and half years. Shaka we miss you

  17. :@ the engineer even craft cert. is a degree Diaspora means the dispersion or movement of people, who share a common ethnicity. A migration of people from their homeland is what you are termed, you fixed aborigines living in the caves and working in the remote areas of Australia but bragging as if you are comfortable shame!

  18. Let Shaka contribute to the development of the constituence out side paliament its also ok. Why do you think you can only bring development when you are in Paliament????

    Akalilo, politics of the belly, its hard out here mr former deputy Minister. You buy fuel, talk time and mealimeal for yourself then you miss free GRZ things when you invested in women with zero dividends. Just wait for 2016

  19. Shakafuswa is just a pompous guy who is always rides on his family’s name. He spent most most of the time as M.P. dishing out CDF to his relatives including his wife. He’s a political comedian for sure but then aren’t they all are?

  20. Evil Eye, that is a lie. If anything you can check with facts at the council. Shakas record is very clean .How come Muteteka has been arrested for dishing to his relatives and not Shaka. Shaka is assertive and confident of himself. You call pompous. But he delivered. He is the one who has put his family name where it is today. Self made man. Shaka people are Jealous of your achievements. You dont need government payroll. We want you to spear the fight against dictators in PF on behave of Katuba and the people of Zambia with the opposition in parliament. Chikusu voted to have RB arrested for having sourced for money and materials which made him MP, against Party instructions. He has to go.

  21. Iwe ka evil eye, which relative did he dish the CDF to because i didn’t receive anything as owner of the village.

    You should be careful with that evil eye that looks like Chikusu’s because i have intentions of replacing it with a spear
