Opposition MMD Ready To Work With Ruling PF
The Opposition Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) says it is happy with the smooth transition of power following Tuesday’s tripartite elections held on 20th September which saw Patriotic Front’s (PF) leader Michael Sata merge victorious.
MMD national secretary Richard Kachingwe has also described the electoral process as credible saying it is good that the will of the Zambian people has prevailed.
Major Kachingwe has also pledged to work with the ruling Patriotic Front and give its government all the support it will need.
He adds that his party is also proud of its leader President Rupiah Banda and has thanked him for running the country peacefully for the past three years.
Major Kachingwe said this after attending the inauguration of republican President Michael Sata.

too late ba major.Why now when you were in power insulting Sata was the order of the day.Infact to be considered hard-working in the MMD govt one has to make a point of honour to insult the opposition especially Sata.We dont want you to work with us continue with your party.Tell us where you got the trillions that you used to bribe people,buy campaign vehicles and bicycles and other things.And why has your preident left active politics?was he party president because of the presidency of the state?why has he left your party because he has lost.You can now see what kind of president you had.
In a nutshell Maj stay away from SATA and solve solve your inernal strife.I can assure you that your party will not see another year because people were only there to satisfy their bellies and girl friend and boyfriends not to serve.
Brace for court appearances especially that you are the chief administrator of you party.The Zimbabwean has washed off his hands from party dealings.
Well come to hell MMD.

Let those who can repent now do so. But let not pf sympathize wth anyone who will be found guilty once prosecutions starts. Judiciary will now be autonomous so will it work better to see justice in our society once again. Where is Kapoko Ministry of Health saga?

Luapula chiefs form task force for RB campaign
rbCHIEF Lubunda of the Chishinga people in Luapula Province has put together a taskforce to spearhead door-to-door campaigns stretching across all the 62 villages under his chiefdom to ensure President Rupiah Banda’s victory in the 2011 presidential elections.
The taskforce has representation at every village in which all the headmen and sub-chiefs are involved in the day to day organisation of the group that was launched last month.
Chief Lubunda said this when Finance and National Planning Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane, Tourism Minister Catherine Namugala and Mines Minister Maxwell Mwale paid a courtesy call on him at his palace situated at Musangu Village in Mwense District.
He said with the on-going construction of Mwense High School in his area and a district hospital, whose first phase is set for completion by September this year, the people in his area did not have a reason to change government.
“If you want to get married and a man comes to promise marriage and then another one comes to say I have married you, who is better?
“This is a very serious matter, people want development and given another five years, Zambia will be different under President Banda,” Chief Lubunda said.
He said Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata was MMD national secretary during which time he held very influential positions under the Chiluba administration but did nothing for the people of Luapula.
Chief Lubunda predicted an outright victory for President Banda in this year’s elections, adding that Mr Sata should expect shocking results in areas like Luapula where chiefs had resolved to vote for a progressive president.
“If Sata has never collapsed this time he will collapse twice. The time to get rid of Mr Sata from Luapula is now,” he said.
Meanwhile, Ms Namugala has urged former members of PF who had defected to the ruling party following the decision by the rebel PF Members of Parliament (MPs) to join the MMD to work closely with the old members to strengthen the party.
She said this on Saturday evening when she addressed a public rally at FJT Basic School in Mwense to put a stop to a near punch-up between supporters of Mwense MP Jacob Chongo and his rival Norman Chibamba, who have applied to contest the seat on the MMD platform.
Ms Namugala said the former PF members and MMD supporters should work in unity to defeat PF.
The two groups who were separated by police officers to avoid clashes demanded the adoption of their own candidates.
At the same rally, Dr Musokotwane appealed to Zambians to promote peace as a way of honouring Dr Chiluba who worked for peace and unity both in Zambia and abroad.
And Mr Mwale said the Government would continue working hard for the benefit of the Zambian people and urged the residents of Mwense to vote for President Banda who wanted to develop all parts of Zambia.

Nice one Chazya, all along those baboons treated us like crap. The are used to party hopping and kissing ass. Bamuselela kwakaba abo. We shud do away with them. They have no heart for development of the people. They are just out to line their pockets. Please Ba President Ba Sata do not accept such behaviour. Yes we can forgive but within reason.

Judging by the characteristics the MMD politician exhibited, the party is now a fossil. They can never survive without the constant supply of money from public coffers. Bye bye bane!

Is it not intersting that people who rejected the PF and in particular President elect Mr Michael Chilufya Sata are now the first to blow the hone and advising on how they should work with the ruling Party? Well PF and our beloved President show these people why their opinions were wrong and embrace them for One Zambia One Nation.
