HH Dispels Calling Radio Journalist a ‘Big Fool’
Hakainde
Honestly we may have our own weaknesses as individuals but surely would never sink that low as to call a journalist a fool. Even when we have been abused and labelled all sorts of names by some media houses, we never called them fools. Anyone can access the recording from Millennium Radio and listen to the full interview.
The correct context following a question from one caller on my role in the MMD privatisation process which the PF have been trying to smear on me went something like.
.”my job is to valuate your property and when I valuate, I give you the good price at which you can sell your property. Then because you are a bad negotiator you do away with the higher value at which your property is worth as advised by ourselves and you sell it at a cheap price, then after many years you turn to the evaluater and say, I didn’t sell my property well……then you must be a fool.”
Surely in that statement the moderator is by far from being called a fool nor is he mentioned or linked.
I also mentioned that the privatisation process was an MMD government project and that I was just a young boy working for myself. In that MMD government’s Frederick Chiluba government were key ministers such as late Micheal Sata who became the PF and Republican President, the likes of Nkandu Luo, and many others.
Equally in the private sector were many of us each one playing a different role such as lawyers, etc. How powerful then could I have been as a young boy to have influenced the entire government machinery to do a wrong thing?
We know journalists may choose what they wish to report but surely that part was just a very small segment of the entire close to 2 hours interview where we articulated a number of our economic policy alternatives compared to what our friends are current doing. We talked about the energy crisis, the falling Kwacha, economic diversification measures in sectors such as agriculture, job creation for youths, how we could have saved jobs in the mining and other sectors, how we could have been prudent in utilisation of resources, education sectors and many other things.
We fully know that not everyone will like us and what we do, but please let’s be fair to each other in our reporting and spreading malicious propaganda against us. At least let’s learn to tell the truth on each other as God fearing people in a christian nation.
We shall continue engaging our citizens on various media platforms and those with time please join us this morning at 08:30 on QFM and we fully appreciate your feedback.
Have a blessed day and God bless.

I have never heard tate HH acknowledge this before. So why doesn’t he(HH) blame MMD for this mess. However, it seems he was part and parcel of the whole shit.

Those who are objective will surely know that this man is being accused of fraud. It is only PF sympathisers who want to find fault and ultimately cause for discord.
Let us talk of other issues not this topic. It is a closed chapter. If you think he stole take him to court and let him be arrested.
He is being hated for his hard work.

October 1, 2015 at 10:00 am
This issue has recurred million times. Why are you failing to arrest him if he is a thief? Chiluba was arrested and survived by a whisker. Arrest HH also if you find him guilty. You have investigating bodies. After all, you have also failed to block ZWD since January. Just accept facts. If you are given stolen meat to eat without knowing that it is stolen, are you a thief/ Why not blame and arrest the provider?

There you are,so why did Tayali leave out what HH said about the energy crisis, the falling Kwacha, economic diversification measures in sectors such as agriculture, job creation for youths, how UPND could have saved jobs in the mining and other sectors etc? Tayali cooked up something send it to Tumfweko and it became gospel truth to some cadres. Insulting HH won’t improve our shuttered economy no matter how you try to avoid the Kwacha issue and concentrate on petty issues, it’s real PF has failed.

@Pillar my friend as long as PF persecute and make him look a bad person believe me Zambians like voting for underdogs to teach someone a lesson. Chiluba was far far an underdog to mighty KK same as Sata, HH wouldn’t be that stupid to blow it and disappoint looking at what he passing thru.

But, how differently is UPND going to lead this Country, from the rest of the past Administrations?
All the past Executives have not run this Country Constitutionally and legally! They have been despotes, autocracies, dictatorships, ‘monarchs’, oligachies, aristocracies, but NEVER EVER been ‘Repulicans’ and/or Democracies.
What sort of governance system, structures, and and rules does UPND wish to apply given the previlege to lead this Country – centralists as well, or they wish to fully devolve power to the people and how?

Re-engineer the constitution. That is the manual book for running a country in a good manner. All good quality products – Casio, JVC, BMW, Bang & Olufsen, etc come with user manuals that are clear and understandable. They also have well documented designs/diagrams. In short they are properly crafted.
It is highly unlikely to have a bad leader when you have a pro-people constitution. The people will provide effective checks and balances.
The current constitution is basically a UNIP one, except it allows more than one party to contest presidency. So what do you expect?

HH stop trying to justify the unjustified unless if you first started by rendering an unconditional apology as you thought of adding substance to your scapegoat points. if only this’s the first time such jejune language was coming from your sour mouth we could’ve believed you but we really know you from adam and no matter how hard your employees such as Nez try to re-paint you, you’ll forever remain the same in the eyes well enlightened Zambians.

How prepared ‘re we to contain their blazing tit-for-tat like anger as they continue to sharpen their satanic swords of curse on mother Zambia?. let’s pray hard that “this man” may repent and seek the face of God not his god.

@ ZAMBIAN polisha polisha – Why we debate non starter issues and opted to pay blind eyes and deaf ears riles me to a point that makes me feel some bloggers are either paid to generate smoke to cloud real issues or are simply incorrigible. This Zambia is not for Pf, Upnd, RP…but for all. Lets give recognisance to all our failings for us to move forward than engage in verbal trivialities that expose too much or less knowledge. Or is it a ploy to cause emotion to a point people let go of their good sense of humour, let alone wisdom and fly insults at each other?

Investments, real ones come through on news and the monied get to fly here to see for themselves and decide what to do with the loads of dollars they toy with. By spending money on fruitless trips around the globe that burrows deep into our already cash strapped coffers is suicide
