“Nevers Is Blank,” Charges Kabimba
PATRIOTIC Front (PF) secretary-general Wynter Kabimba has charged that MMD president Nevers Mumba has run out of political ideas for him to allege that President Sata has become a tourist.
Mr Kabimba said yesterday in an interview that contrary to Dr Mumba’s insinuation, President Sata has only been attending important international meetings.
On Saturday, Dr Mumba alleged that President Sata has become a tourist for attending international meetings.
“Dr Mumba should realise that President Sata has not made any maiden visit to be introduced as Zambia’s new head of State because he wants to tackle social and economic problems and save taxpayers’ money. My first reaction to Dr Mumba’s statement is that the man has run out of political ideas,” he said.
Mr Kabimba said there is a package for every new head of State to make maiden visits but President Sata has not done so because he is more concerned about saving costs.
He said President Sata wants to attend to social and economic challenges caused by the corrupt MMD administration under the presidency of Rupiah Banda.
Mr Kabimba said the PF and Cabinet have a lot of problems to solve because of the culture of maladministration that the MMD left.
He said it was important for President Sata to go to Angola last month to attend the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Heads of State and Government extra-ordinary summit where he met Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
Mr Kabimba said President Sata’s travel to England, like many other heads of State, was purely out of respect he has for Queen Elizabeth as head of the Commonwealth.
“Does Dr Mumba need to be in the first class of civics for him to understand that the Queen is the head of Commonwealth and the President had to attend that important meeting?” he said.
Mr Kabimba said President Sata has gone to Rio de Janeiro because Zambia needs to be part of the discussion on global development.
He said the Rio+20 Conference is an important meeting which needed the attendance of the head of State.
Mr Kabimba wondered whether Dr Mumba was alleging that all the over 100 heads of State who attended the Rio+20 meeting are tourists.
He said Dr Mumba should realise that President Sata has not travelled at the high rate that former President Banda did. He said Mr Banda even attended meetings that only required the presence of permanent secretaries.
Mr Kabimba said the PF operates an open door administration and it has extended an olive branch to opposition parties willing to serve the well-being of Zambians.
He said National Restoration Party president Elias Chipimo Jr and Forum for Development and Democracy president Edith Nawakwi were invited by the President because they have recognised that they need to work with the PF as the party in Government in contributing to economic development.
Dr Mumba accused Mr Sata of travelling with people who were not important.
And the Judicial Allied Workers Union of Zambia (JAWUZ) says Dr Mumba should not politicise the appointment of Supreme Court judges Lombe Chibesakunda and Florence Mumba as acting Chief Justice and acting Deputy Chief Justice, respectively.
JAWUZ president Peter Mwale said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that Dr Mumba should instead support the appointment of Mrs Justice Chibesakunda and Mrs Justice Mumba.
He was commenting on Dr Mumba’s statement that the appointment of the two judges is meant to frustrate the MMD.
“People should be objective because these appointments are one of the best we have ever had in the Judiciary. The appointment of judges should not be made to serve the MMD or any other individuals but Zambians,” Mr Mwale said.
He said the Judiciary should not be dragged into partisan politics because it is an institution meant to serve all citizens.
“People wanted Justice Ernest Sakala to go and he has gone. We all have been given the new Chief Justice and new Deputy Chief Justice and some people are still politicking. What is this nonsense?” he charged.
Mr Mwale said judicial workers are happy with the appointments and will be meeting Mrs Justice Chibesakunda today to raise their concerns.
He said the experience of justices Chibesakunda and Mumba is well-documented as Supreme Court judges.
On Saturday, Dr Mumba alleged that the appointment of justices Chibesakunda and Mumba is meant to weaken the MMD.
But Government spokesperson Fackson Shamenda said the Patriotic Front administration is eager to have an independent Judiciary without invisible hands, voices or instructions.

Bamukukulu imwe, you just attack each other in the newspapers. Good politicians talk health reforms, education. agriculture, mining, etc good policies that drives a better Zambia. Journalists also talk things that brings hope to youths. Kabimba must tell us how a zambian is going to benefit from the policies government (not pf you have already formed the government) is making in agriculture, mining, health, education. Educational standard is gone down, Health very few doctors, agriculture no good policies. You kabimba talking of Nevers, we do not need nevers we need policies that will drive zambia forward. Bikeniko amano.

WHAT DOES ZAMBAINS BENEFIT FROM THE TALKING OF WINTER AND NEVERS? THIS IS THE REASON WHY A WHITE SAID WE CANNOT RULE OURSELVES, WE ATTACK EACH OTHER CANNOT EVEN PROTECT OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. WHEN I LOOK AT ZAMBIA IT IS BEING RULED BY THE SO CALLED “LEADERS” WHO HAVE NO VISION FOR THE COUNTRY. CAN ONLY PLAN FOR SHORT PERIODS OF TIME ROAD NETWORK BAD NO PLAN IS BEING GIVEN TO US FOR THE GOOD FLOW OF TRAFFIC ALL THEY DO IS ROBOTS, ROUNDABOUTS, FILTER LANE. E G LUSAKA, LONGACRES ROUNDABOUT PUT FLY OVERS AND OTHER PLACES THAT I HAVE SEEN TRAFFIC WILL FLOW.

Onward, you have said it all! Nevers desperate to find something to criticise government on and Kabimba responding is not useful.
There is need for Kabimba to spend more time intepreting government policies on health, education, agriculture, manufacturing and enteprenuership. The everyday exchanges of trying to catch each other napping are pointless! No more unconstructive criticism or we all just attack the chancer criticising.

@Cimbwi since you and @wizard have the same reasoning, tell me, are all opposition parties led by Tongas? Are all members of opposition parties Tongas? If you can’t honestly answer that, then you too are a fool!

@ HONDA Nevers was Veep for 4 months and he was fired and he served as ambassador for only 1 year six months. Is this what you call experience? Kabimba is recognized as one of the best Town Clerks on the Continent along with Ali Simwinga and Chenda Emmanuel. See the difference between Kabimba and your political and religious failure?

This man has come to destroy MMD, wait and see. The truth is that MMD is going nowhere with this self money seeker so called nevers, thus why he is nevers. He is not decided in his life. he started as a man of God in seeking of money, herilized that Money on plates and thiths can,t….., he forgoten the work of God and formed his own party in dream of becoming the president of this great nation. He is a failure,now MMD we cry.
with no ideeas he is speaking blankly. Kabimba is right.
