Late George Kunda’s son who is also MMD Muchinga member of Parliament Howard Kunda says he can only defect to the Patriotic Front (PF) if the ruling party offered him the number two job in the country.
Mr Kunda said anything short of that, especially a deputy ministerial position, would not compel him to ditch the party his late father George Kunda served until his death in April last year after an illness.
“If they really want me, they should give me the vice presidency,” Mr Kunda said.
“If it is vice presidency, yes, because I know that if anything happens, I will be President of this country.”
Mr Kunda’s “intentions” were aired on a clip recorded for the Hot FM breakfast show.
Mr Kunda said he could never serve as a deputy minister because his father had raised the bar above that level having served as a Vice President and that he (Howard) can only continue from where his late father ended.
“If they wanted me, that is what I have been telling them, they should give me the vice presidency, not deputy minister. It is something that I will not go for because I have passed that level of deputy minister,” he said.
Mr Kunda said as Vice President, he could also get an occasional opportunity to act as President whenever the President is out of the county on national duties.
“I was told that I was going to be a deputy minister in the Office of Vice-President. When you look at deputy minister of Office of the Vice-President, how can I carry on the legacy of my late father?” he wondered.
Mr Kunda further revealed that some PF officials are inciting councillors to resign from the MMD and join the ruling party.
He also urged parliamentarians in opposition to continue providing checks and balances on Government to ensure good governance and development in the country.

Haward what’s so special about u that u should make such demands? Appointing u as Veep isn’t a problem ask Nevers Mumba he knows better!!
If it’s number PF want they already have the majority in parlament.
So just shataup!

Mr. Kunda, please slow down. You are not your father, therefore you need to build your own political career. It is good to be ambitious, but you are ‘foolishly’ ambitious. What are your credentials by the way?

Howard, how do you even entertain those ideas of “if i am given the position of vice president in PF then I can consider joining PF, please follow your father and mother’s steps. Never allow those ideas of joining PF cross your mind. Are you also “politics of the belly?

Howard, your father died defending the MMD Values. Your dad was insulted left, right and centre by the same people that called u and offered you a deputy ministerial post in PF.
Your father defended the legacy of MMD a mantle passed on to you.
Your mum was insulted by SATA during campaigns.
How the hell can u even entertain a notion of Joining PF even for whatever post???

The family is obsessed with the Veep post. I remember how his father used to comment about Guy Scott. Obsession is when you as an impostor visualise that you are actually the real person and yet you are the impostor. This typical of Howard and GK (mhsrip).

Regardless of what the youths of today may say , i repeat and i qoute myself ” i can not settle for any position less than that of VEEP ,
