PRESIDENT Michael Sata says most PF members of parliament are useless and he will not even look at their application papers in 2016.
Speaking in Katuba on Saturday before he addressed a rally at Muwanjuni Primary School grounds, President Sata said the PF would carefully scrutinise the candidates in 2016 to avoid adopting members of parliament who will turn out to be irrelevant.
“Most of you are useless and in 2016, I will not even look at your application papers,” President Sata told members of parliament that had lined up to introduce themselves to the audience in Katuba.
Among the members of parliament that had lined up were home affairs deputy minister Stephen Kampyongo, Eastern Province minister Malozo Sichone, deputy minister in the Office of the Vice-President Davies Mwango, defence deputy minister Colonel Joseph Lungu, Lupososhi member of parliament Chungu Bwalya, Kabwe Central member of parliament James Kapyanga, Chimbamilonga member of parliament Hastings Chansa and Pambashe member of parliament Ronald Chitotela.
During his introductory remarks, Chitotela told the crowd that his constituency had witnessed a number of development projects owing to him being a member of the PF.
However, President Sata interjected Chitotela and told him that he does not visit his constituency.
Before President Sata’s arrival at the venue of the rally, PF cadres from Intercity Bus Station, led by Innocent Kalimashi, roughed up a fellow cadre only identified as Peter.
Kalimashi’s group accused Peter of being behind the use of machetes to attack fellow cadres.
It had to take Judge Ngoma’s intervention for Peter to be whisked away from the uncompromising cadres, who wanted to beat him up in full view of senior party members, who included ministers.
When President Sata arrived, Ngoma was heard briefing the head of state that cadres who allegedly belonged to former defence minister Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba’s camp harassed a fellow PF member and accused him of being in Wynter Kabimba’s camp.
In response, President Sata described the action as stupid.

The president is right.most of them were chosen because of the “need for change of government” and they have been making his work difficult to an extent that his venom is never poisonous anymore.

Actually, the whole PF govt is in a mess. Even the President seems to have run out of ideas on how to run govt. Sata should not blame his MPs for the confusion we have now. Where has he been all this time? I believe the MPs have simply taken advantage of Sata’s inability to lead. This indiscipline by MPs is as a result of Sata’s failure to provide leadership. Mwanawasa never tolerated indiscipline by his MPs.

when ever Sata makes a mistake he puts a blame on someone now he is blaming his MPs and yet from the time we voted them into office his mps have been working under strick instructions from the president him self.
imbanu cant never
February 18, 2014 at 1:01 pm
it is nice when the father tells his children that you are all failures which simply means to me that even the father is a failure and should not put the blame on the children because they take after him. so mr president sir what you are simply telling us is that you have failed to perform and what if we do not see your bollot paper in 2016 mind you ALEISA ALEISA nakabili kanitundila.

For the first time since I cast that vote, the President has spoken the truth and nothing but the truth. From today, I have started searching for USEFUL members of parliament to put in office in 2016. As for the President I advise that he retires in 2016 before he becomes useless as well, since for now he tends to be accidentally useful at times.

The most foolish mp is Nakonde Sichula the constituency where govt collects a lot of revenue while township and the narrow Great North roads are not repaired, water coming from pipes is dirty. The MP has remained mute ever since he entered the parliament, at least even a dog can bark.

The president was saying that while campaigning in Katuba. He even said the children in Katuba looked frail because they are not well fed. PF is losing Katuba to a party they are not expecting to win The most popular president there is Patricia Mwashingwele of ABZ
