A FORMER Patriotic Front (PF) official has disclosed that Kabwata Member of Parliament Given Lubinda will shortly after Parliament is dissolved together with several district party officials’ defect to the United Party for National Development (UPND).
Former Mandevu PF treasurer Alex Mulenga said Mr Lubinda had now realised that he had fallen out of favour with the PF leader Michael Sata who did not want to be challenged as party presidential candidate at the convention.
“Mr Lubinda is seriously de-campaigning Mr Sata and PF and he is therefore planning to defect with a lot of PF district officials to UPND immediately when Parliament is dissolved.
“This is because Mr Lubinda has seen, experienced and heard what the MCC and Mr Sata are saying. They are saying that he is not an indigenous Zambian and cannot stand as national president on the PF ticket,” he said.
When contacted for a comment Mr Lubinda declined to comment saying he did not want to be dragged in fortune telling stories.
“If he (Mr Mulenga) is practicing fortune telling, let him go ahead and do so. I will not participate in fortune telling,” he said.
Mr Mulenga said Mr Sata’s camp was alleging that Mr Lubinda was a hired gun by the UPND to destabilise the PF and that he should be fired from the party.
“That is why they have started with his party portfolio. They further said the pact was not an initiative of the PF but that it was Mr Lubinda’s idea who is still pretending to insist that the pact should be maintained,” he said.
Mr Mulenga said he had been vindicated by the statement he issued last month that Mr Lubinda would be stripped of his position as party spokesperson.
He said this clearly showed how the differences between Mr Sata and Mr Lubinda had widened.
Mr Mulenga said Mr Sata thought he was clever by manipulating Mr Lubinda to abandon the United Liberal Party (ULP), the party which enabled him earn a seat in Parliament.
Meanwhile, Mr Mulenga has said that Mr Sata has finally decided that the PF would contest the 2011 general elections as a single party and that during one of the party meetings which was held recently he admitted that president Rupiah Banda had worked extra hard.
Mr Mulenga said Mr Sata said it would be difficult to convince the Zambian people not to vote for the MMD.
Some sex workers in Lusaka are calling on relevant authorities to help stop police harassment. In an interview with MUVI TV News, the sex workers have accused the police of harassing them by arresting and charging them.
They have further claimed that the police behavior borders on violation of human rights.
And when contacted for a comment, Police Service spokesperson, Ndandula Siamana said any immoral act is against the Zambian laws.
Ms. Siamana explained that the police will not allow lawlessness in the country to be the order of the day.
File: UPND deputy spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa talks to police officers when he was blocked from entering the results centre for Chilanga constituencyThe United Party for National Development UPND has said that it was utter nonsense to insinuate that it can only survive through political alliances.
UPND deputy spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa said that the party was capable of existing on its own despite its involvement in the PACT.
Mr. Mweetwa dismissed assertions that the UPND was secretly working with the MMD in order to forge an alliance with the ruling party.
He said people have taken advantage of the squabbles that have rocked the PF/UPND pact to malign the UPND.
Mr. Mweetwa re-emphasized that the UPND was capable of going it alone in the forthcoming elections because it is still a popular party.
He told QFM news that it’s only Zambians who can make political judgment on the behavior and conduct of the two political parties in the PACT.
MR Mweetwa noted that Zambians are disappointed with the unfolding events in the PF/UPND pact especially that it was considered a window of hope for most Zambians.
Meanwhile the Patriotic Front in Mansa have said the current trend of exchanging words in the media between the two parties in the pact was not healthy.
PF member of the central committee in Mansa, Rasford Mwale said the party in the province had decided not to discuss the pact to avoid making conflicting statements.
Mr Mwale said there was need for party officials to refrain from issuing statements concerning pact and leave everything to the top leadership to resolve.
He told QFM in Mansa that it was better that the issue concerning the pact is left to the top leadership of the two parties to discuss so as to avoid confusion.
Mr. Mwale said the top leadership of both parties should be given time to talk about the issues instead of unnecessarily issuing statements.
He said it was unfortunate that UPND members in other provinces have continued to issue statements which are contributing to the misunderstanding.

President Rupiah Banda has called on the media in the country not to allow the Post Newspaper to set the agenda for them.
President Banda said this when he was asked by Journalists at ZAF City Airport to respond to today’s lead story in the POST Newspapers.
The story under the heading ‘ MMD in Napsa Fundraising Scam’ suggests that President Banda wants to use parastatals to mobilize campaign funds for the ruling party.
Mr. Banda said it is not surprising that his name is mentioned by the daily tabloid everyday.
The President said allowing the tabloid to set an agenda for the entire media fraternity will be encouraging the scandalizing of innocent people.
And President Banda told Journalists that campaigns in the Mporokoso by-elections are on the right track.
Foreign Affairs Minister Kabinga Pande receives credentials from new Africa Development Bank Country Representative Freddie Kwesiga at Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Lusaka recently
Foreign Affairs Minister Kabinga Pande has cautioned diplomats serving in Zambia against commenting on the country’s internal affairs.
Mr. Pande has said that Zambians were better placed to comment on internal issues affecting the country.
The Minister said that it was unfortunate that Netherlands Ambassador to Zambia Harry Molenaar on Monday commented on the Barotseland Agreement issue, which is purely an internal matter.
Mr. Pande told ZNBC News in an interview on today that issues such as the Barotseland Agreement of 1964 debate should be left to Zambians.
On Monday Mr. Molenaar said Zambia can resolve the impasse on the Barotseland Agreement through government’s decentralization policy.
Mr. Molenaar said this is because the decentralization policy encourages inclusive dialogue.
Meanwhile, The European Union(EU) says it has no doubt that Zambia will uphold and demonstrate its democratic nature during this year’s tripartite elections.

Flashback: President Banda interacts with a mother and her baby at Chipata Clinic in Lusaka
President Rupiah Banda has said that there is no justification for some people to create unnecessary worries in the minds of Zambians regarding the recent hike in fuel prices.
The President has explained that countries that are on the importing side usually pay the price each time prices from oil producing countries go up.
President Banda said this is because countries like Zambia do not have oil fields of their own. He has since challenged people unnecessarily criticizing the hike in fuel pump prices to be realistic.
President Banda was responding to Journalists at City Airport before departure for the Northern Province

File: Zambian Breweries Group corporate affair director Chibamba Kanyama (l)
Zambian Breweries contributed K332 billion in indirect taxes to the Government last year, corporate affairs director Chibamba Kanyama announced in a statement.
Mr Kanyama said the 2010 contribution has increased by 20 per cent from the 2009 payment of K278 billion.
“Zambian Breweries plc has posted K332 billion in indirect taxes to Government coffers for the 2010 period, which reflects an increase of 20 per cent in one year. The company has further recorded an 87 per cent increase in Output VAT standing at K118 billion paid in 2010,” Mr Kanyama said.
He said the rise in tax payments was largely because of last year’s reduction in excise duty on clear beer from 60 per cent to 40 per cent.
“The Government has also won by capturing tax which, otherwise, it would have continued losing. All the volume that was originally in the hands of the smugglers moved to Zambian Breweries.
“We have now been able to increase our sales volume and this benefit is not only for us but also for government that is now able to collect tax from us, and also for the consumer who is now getting our products at a reduced charge,” Mr Kanyama said.
He said with the reduction of excise duty last year, companies such as Zambian Breweries will become more profitable and this would lead to an increase in Pay-As-You-Earn, corporate and other taxes and licenses paid by suppliers and distributors.
The special team investigating operations of the suspended Lusaka City Council has uncovered documents in which the Patriotic Front (PF)-dominated council is processing the sale of land belonging to the National Assembly.
According to minutes of the plans, works and development committee meeting of November 17, 2010 attended by, among others, Mandevu Member of Parliament Jean Kapata, former deputy mayor and committee chairperson Charles Msiska, Lusaka Mayor Daniel Chisenga and his deputy Harry Hampende, the council intends to create five plots at the National Assembly land in Olympia.
The meeting was attended by 18 other officials from the country’s biggest council.
The revelation comes in the wake of some land scandals, including one in which the council shared State land with 102 plots in Lusaka’s Lilayi area without following the right procedure.
The National Assembly land is behind Parliament buildings at the Zesco sub-station and the plots to be created would mean that part of the road in the National Assembly Township would be sold to facilitate for the construction of five houses.
According to guidelines on land allocation, the council is mandated to spare about 12 metres of the road reserve but the land is small and the road has been affected.
The land also houses the Zesco sub-station in Olympia, and the acting director of city planning is reported to have sought authority from the electricity firm to allow the council to construct houses at its site against the long-standing arrangement where the sub-station was reserved for further expansion.
“The acting director of city planning explained that Zesco indicated that they had no objection provided the cost of re-routing the cables at K114,825,200 was met by deserving applicants,” the minutes read in parts.
At the Wednesday, November 17, 2010 meeting, the matter was deferred to allow for a tour of the site to be undertaken by the committee and make members decide on the matter properly.
The tour took place on Thursday, December 30, 2010 after which the plan to sell the land was passed, but implementation was blocked following a decision by Minister of Local Government and Housing Brian Chituwo to suspend the council for 90 days.
“Arising from the findings of the committee after the tour conducted on Thursday, December 30, 2010, the committee recommends that five plots be created as opposed to three and that the proposed layout be approved,” the minutes state.
The committee also recommended that the plots be numbered by the surveyor general and the cost of surveying be met by the would-be buyers.
The list of applicants was forwarded to the commissioner of Lands after passing another recommendation that the applicants would pay for the cost of re-routing the cables from the Zesco sub-station.
The Government has suspended LCC for 90 days and appointed an administrator to manage the affairs of the council following allegations of impropriety in the land allocation.
Other irregularities faced by the council include misuse of funds in which huge sums of money were directed towards personal emoluments at the expense of service provision and in breach of the law, which requires them to spend more money on servicing the community.
THE opposition Patriotic Front (PF) has continued to juggle its national leaders in yet another shadow cabinet, with the latest inclusion being former Chadiza member of Parliament Panji Kaunda who is earmarked for the post of Agriculture minister.
Their latest ‘innovation’ has also seen the inclusion of former Chipangali MP Lucas Phiri earmarked for the Home Affairs portfolio.
The new machinations have rocked the PF boat, with some members being dissatisfied by their president Michael Sata’s scheming, especially that he has given himself three portfolios – Presidency, Defence and Local Government.
In the envisaged PF government, which has no place for its pact partners United Party for National Development (UPND) members, party secretary-general Wynter Kabimba has lost his earlier appointment as vice-president to Guy Scott because of his (Kabimba’s) alleged involvement in the Lusaka City Council land scam.
Well-placed PF sources revealed in Lusaka on February 28 that Kabwata MP Given Lubinda, who was left out of the earlier shadow cabinet, has been earmarked for the position of Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services.
Although Mr Kabimba is still seen as the favourite to assume the position of vice-president, sources said the recent land scandal at LCC may see him give way to Dr Scott.
However, the PF sources indicated that Dr Scott’s undoing may be his involvement in what became known as the 1992 ‘Swinegate’ scandal when he served as Minister of Agriculture.
Roan MP Chishimba Kambwili has retained his shadow portfolio of Minister of Finance, given his consistent call for the re-introduction of windfall taxes in the mining sector.
Mwenya Musenge would be Mines Minister while Mr Lubinda has been given the shadow portfolio of Information and Broadcasting Services to dissuade him from challenging Mr Sata for the position of PF president should the party hold a convention.
Conspicuously missing from the list of shadow ministers is Inonge Wina, who has allegedly failed to deliver Western Province to the PF.
QFM reports that United Party for National Development (UPND) Leader Hakainde Hichilema has charged that Patriotic Front (PF) secretary general Wynter Kabimba has a petty mind and that he will not respond to his challenge to tell the people of Zambia whether or not the UPND has agreed to the proposal made by Professor Clive Chirwa on the PF/UPND pact.
Mr. Hichilema said he would not engage himself in an argument with Mr. Kabimba as the people of Zambia will not know who is telling the truth between the two.
He wondered why Mr. Kabimba had become more interested in calling for the meeting between the PF and UPND when they never responded to the call earlier made by the UPND to quickly convene a meeting.
Mr. Hichilema said it was pointless for the two political parties to challenge each other when there are more important issues they can address.
He said he will not involve himself in any argument with Mr. Kabimba adding that the PF secretary general can continue with his arguments because he enjoyed doing so.
Mr. Hichilema has observed the need for the Patriotic Front to understand that public service is about serving the people of Zambia and not sharing jobs.

And Times of Zambia reports that PATRIOTIC Front (PF) president Michael Sata has said United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema has been leading a small and tribal party, which would tumble in this year’s presidential elections because he emerged from the blues to assume his position.
Mr Sata said within the time he had been in the pact with the UPND, he had managed to find out that the UPND was actually only popular in Southern Province, which he said was proof that its leader was tribal and lacked a track record of how he ascended to the helm of the opposition party
Ironically, Mr Sata said he had built PF from the scratch after rising through the ranks to become Lusaka District governor in the UNIP era, Kabwata member of Parliament (MP) and Cabinet minister before he formed his party, which he had built while Mr Hichilema just emerged from nowhere to pronounce himself president of the UPND after scheming his way out.
Mr Sata was angered by Mr Hichilema’s performance on a QFM live phone-in programme last week where he said PF secretary general Wynter Kabimba was responsible for the death of the pact and that Mr Sata was hungry for power, hence their declaration that the PF leader was the pact’s presidential candidate.
“If UPND are not power-hungry, let them leave politics and do something else. Where in this country are they popular apart from Southern Province? UPND is a small tribal party but since they have declared that they will contest on their own, I wish them good luck,” Mr Sata said.

UPND is a small tribal party but since they have declared that they will contest on their own, I wish them good luck,” Mr Sata said.[/pullquote]
He said Mr Hichilema had a dubious character that he used to ascend to positions of authority and this was what the PF never wanted to happen in the pact.
“I have a track record myself because I have built this party but Mr Hichilema just came from nowhere because he uses dubious means to get his way up. Ulembe bwino efyo ndekweba. Ubebe (Write what I am telling you well, tell them)
“Mr Hichilema is a hijacker, dubious and an opportunist,” Mr Sata, who is in Mporokoso for campaigns for this Thursday’s parliamentary by-election said.
He said PF could not lean on UPND because it was very popular while UPND was relying on telling the people of Zambia lies to gain popularity.
Mr Sata said he was disappointed that the two opposition parties were now attacking one another in the media instead of working together because of the behaviour of UPND and its leader.
Mr Sata said UPND should be above board instead of provoking other political players and added that the PF was aware that UPND was already working with the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD).
Meanwhile, Mr Kabimba has accused Mr Hichilema of employing tricks against Mr Sata in the loose alliance to win adoption for candidacy in the 2011 presidential elections.
Mr Kabimba said his party would not allow Mr Hichilema to use the 1996 formula that was used at the time to make him the automatic choice to be head of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
[pullquote]“Mr Hichilema is a hijacker, dubious and an opportunist,” Mr Sata, who is in Mporokoso for campaigns for this Thursday’s parliamentary by-election said.[/pullquote]
Featuring on a live MOBI television programme Open Forum which also had UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma, Mr Kabimba said Mr Hichilema lost the 2006 elections terribly to the MMD and PF because of using such tricks.
Mr Kabimba accused UPND of hiding under the cover of putting together the social economic programme before electing the pact leader because it wanted Mr Hichilema to employ a formular that would make him the preferred candidate so that Mr Sata was knocked out.
He argued that the social and economic programme being agitated by UPND could not be mooted without a leader and UDA only announced Mr Hichilema as its candidate and the issue of the social and economic programme never arose.
Mr Kabimba said the pact leaders must be bold and announce the failure of the pact because of the deep divisions that had engulfed the pact lately.
He said the PF did not go into the alliance formed on June 4, 2009 after realising that it would falter in the 2011 elections but because of the need to form a majority Government.
He said there was need to bring on board all the stakeholders, including those aligned to UPND, but the party had the capacity to win the elections as a single entity.
But Mr Kakoma differed with Mr Kabimba, saying the reason for the formation of the pact was that the opposition was too weak to beat the MMD.
“This explains why we are having problems. Now I am being told that the reason why we had came together was to form a majority Government. For us we did not think that the most important thing was leadership.
“What we thought was that we were forming the pact because people wanted us to address poverty by putting up a social and economic programme,” Mr Kakoma said.
Mr Kakoma said the UPND was not prepared to rush into the sharing of positions but that fundamentals must be addressed. He said UPND was not tribal but national.
But Mr Kabimba maintained that the central cause of the divisions in the pact was the absence of a leader and not the lack of social and economic programmes.
Collins Mbesuma’s reeducation at his new Durban employers continued last weekend despite being on the losing end.
While Golden Arrows lost 2-1 away to Mpumalanga Black Aces in Witbank on Sunday afternoon, Mbesuma was on target.
His goal over the weekend was his fifth in the league since joining Arrows after half the season in the wilderness following his disgraceful exit from Moroka Swallows in the build-up to the 2010/2011 campaign.
Mbesuma’s tally is half that of his heir apparent at Kaizer Chiefs Knowledge Musona of Zimbabwe with debate raging whether the latter is better than the former Amakhosi star.
And Mbesuma’s Zambia team mate Jacob Mulenga, with him he travelled with on their debut trials in Europe in 2004 at Stade Rennes in France, is full of praise for his fellow striker who scored on his return to international duty after a 12 month hiatus on February 9 in a 4-0 away friendly win over Swaziland in Manzini.
“It’s good to see Collins (Mbesuma) playing well. We as Zambians should be proud of him, he has been through a lot,” Mulenga told The Post newspaper in an interview on Monday.
Meanwhile, if anyone should be given credit for his seemingly gradual revival it should be his agents ProSport International.
They have stuck by Mbesuma despite doors slammed in his face before they withdrew him to an academy last November in Durban to try and get him back in shape.
Arrows took a New Year gamble that is paying off with Mbesuma now the teams top scorer despite joining them in the final part of the season.
