Munkombwe: Only Senseless People Can Oppose SATA
VETERAN politician Daniel Munkombwe says President Michael Sata is an original man and he Munkombwe cannot afford not to work with him.
Munkombwe, who on Tuesday defected from the MMD to PF in Choma, said that he had been attracted to join the PF by the quality of leadership the ruling party had displayed.
He said he would avoid platform politics but assured the PF that he was ready to work with them and render his services whenever called upon.
“When people say I’m not a factor, yes, I’m not a factor to useless people, Sata is reviving the Zambia Railways and these have been the things we have always dreamed of. He is bringing back what KK did, so why should people oppose him? Only senseless people are saying no; he is bringing back the roads that we the MMD destroyed, so let those who do not understand the theory of politics say I’m useless. With the little that I have, I will support Sata,” he said.
Munkombwe was Southern Province minister and deputy minister in the Office of the Vice-President under MMD. He also once defected from MMD to UPND of Anderson Mazoka before going back to MMD under Levy Mwanawasa.
During Mwanawasa’s time at a rally in Maamba, Munkombwe said he was interested in politics of benefits, where cadres were given jobs.
Munkombwe recently said he would gladly accept a job from President Sata if offered.
And receiving defectors at the PF office in Choma, commerce minister Robert Sichinga said the ruling party welcomes all people who want to work with the party for the development of Zambia.
Sichinga said even UPND members of parliament recognised that they could not bring development without working with the government of the day.
Speaking on behalf of the UPND defectors, Caesar Muchindu said UPND was on a path of self-destruction.
The UPND defectors who included 42 youths said they were sick and tired of clinging on to the opposition, which they said had failed to provide quality leadership.

Munkombwe offers nothing to Zambian politics except to himself and maybe his family.

He could have supported PF even from opposition side instead of shamelessly crossing the floor. I am PF but let’s be selective in accepting members coz some only want to bring distruction to our party. You all know all he wants is a job. I can accept cool, calm, visionary and sound minded people like Simbao.

i remember in one meeting in mazabuka mr munkombwe told us that he only stays fishing were he is catching fish where he does not he leaves so it is the case now.let me also appeal to all journalist to consider covering young politician that talk sense and add value to our zambian society than these that just need something for their stomach and not for zambian.mr munkombwe can change at anytime to support who ever is in govt.Lastly govt should as well on a look out of such pipo as they are the vehicle that is taking us backwards.

Show me an academic or professional paper that has been authored by this man.
Most politicians are ignorant illiterates and as such we have political dynasties of dumb fools. Munkombwe is one such person.
