UPND Calls For Medical Board To Examine SATA’s Mental Stability
Former MMD Kapiri Mposhi MP Lawrence Zimba this morning officially joined the opposition UPND and declared his intention to re-contest his nullified seat in the area under the party.
And the UPND has stated that they will invoke the constitutionally provisions and write to the Chief Justice to constitute a medical board to examine the mental status of president Michael Sata.
Joining the party today at the UPND party secretariat together with other members from various parties, Mr. Zimba said the UPND is the only party with a clear developmental manifesto that can uplift the majority Zambians from poverty.
Mr. Zimba further said he was happy to join a party that has higher chances of forming government whenever elections are held.
The Supreme Court recently nullified the Kapiri Mposhi seat held by Mr. Zimba under the MMD who now said wishes to re-contest the seat under UPND and prove that he genuinely won it.
And in welcoming Mr. Zimba, UPND Secretary General Winston Chibwe said the former parliamentarian was free to participate in the party’s affairs at any level.
Mr. Chibwe said UPND was definitely forming the next government going by the growing popularity on the ground and said more people are welcome to join.
He said the UPND was very accommodating party that is focussed on developing the nation once they assume office.
Others who joined include former PF Kankoyo MP under PF in the Copperbelt Percy Chanda.
And UPND Senior member Douglas Siakalima said the party will soon write to the Chief Justice citing provisions of the constitution to constitute a medical board to examine the mental status and stability of president Sata.
Mr. Siakalima who is also a psychologist said going by the recent conduct of the president he suspects it is time he was mentally checked to determine his suitability and stability to hold office before he does worse things.
He said in the past the nation has tolerated Mr. Sata’s numerous constitutional breaches and conduct because they thought that was his character but now things are getting out hand.
“At the rate he is going, we have no option but write the Chief Justice to have the president’s mental state examined because as the Commander in Chief, he can cause chaos in the country. There is nothing defamatory or malicious about this demand because it is provided for in the constitution,” Siakalima said during the press briefing.
Mr. Siakalima said the party wants to be sure they are dealing with a mentally stable president because there was currently a lot of anxiety in the country going by the way the president has been behaving and conducting himself in public appearances.
And the UPND has maintained its position that there was no need to call for lifting of former president Rupiah Banda’s immunity insisting that what was actually required was the impeachment of president Sata who has done worse things in constitutional breaches than Mr. Banda who is merely a target of hate by a well-known cartel.

So far there is has lot of political will from the PF government under the good leadership of Michael Chilufya Sata- known as man of action. MMD left the country in a total state of despair. I am asking the the first Dr C Kaseba to visit Mpika district hospital and see for herself how bad the infrastructures are. Mpika district hospital is a smelling place , without much space. I am of the view that the government should build a state of the art district hospital in Mpika.

Ufuna Pomfunthila Naiwe Party (UPND) muli mu chibe. What really hurts you is that your party was founded long before PF by Mazoka. PF came as a baby, matured in your eyes and surpassed you and became the rulling party while you are still confined to the Tonga Land. How do you expect to form government in 2016 with under 5 Hakaivotela Heka?

What is really wrong with Zambia watchdog? Is it only for tongas and UNPD caders? Whenever I post my views, which are pro- PF , on that site they are not published. At least Tumfweko is place where both pro and anti government views are tolerated and published. Viva tumfweko!!!!!

Pipo,when this board is constituted,Siakalima and HH should go first.
Why do you always have to oppose everything the President does.This country was and is still a mess. Let’s give his execellency a chance. At the rate he is going,Zambia will be a better place in 2016. U will see.

Madam Inonge Wina shud quickly address the water problem at Sinungu in Nalolo constituency.Police officers and teachers have been depending on one unprotected well since 2007.During the floods like now,the water gets contaminated such tht worms cn easily be seen.The Basic school risks being closed by th Ministry of Health.We fed up of unnecessary visites by both th MP and th DC bcoz we cnt see any impact.We knw tht th gvt has created new districts but dnt ignore other areas.Now it z time to act,not hearing complaints frm pipo.We re going to invite th Health officials to close th school.We need two bore holes which re new.
