Sata knows Me Better Than Anyone Else – Kabimba
Wynter Kabimba has disclosed that some UPND members of parliament have confided in him that they will not recontest their seats on UPND ticket, opting for PF.He says there are people in PF who are using his name to do wrong things.
And he also says the party must be a living entity and visible at all times.
Addressing party officials in Southern Province yesterday, Kabimba, the PF secretary general, said he did not support wrongdoing.
He said his belief in good governance and hatred for illegalities had made him unpopular.
“Those that want to use or speak in my name should use it positively. Everyone has a right to speak to me as secretary general but please don’t abuse me as secretary general of the party. There are some people that want to perpetrate wrong things in my name and when they are asked they say ‘I spoke to SG’. I don’t support wrong things; don’t abuse my name,” he said.
Kabimba said his faith and loyalty was to President Michael Sata and the party, adding that it was disappointing that party members were using his name in vain.
Kabimba said he had acquired experience politically and was able to tell where the party was strong, weak and where it did not exist.
He said party members should not trivialise their responsibility to run the country and improve people’s lives.
“When our people feel despondent, helpless, the first call must be the party, and party functionaries must respond positively and give them hope. The party is sleeping. We’ve a problem with the market here (Choma), where is the party? You can’t go to the people only when you want votes; help our people now to make our work easier,” he said.
Kabimba said the PF victory was the beginning of a mammoth task ahead.
He said any official failing to perform their task were making the party unpopular and should resign to pave way for others.
Kabimba said the party, as a living entity, should be seen to be helping the people.
“The party is a living entity; it must live in us, the party must be visible. It must be all over, the journey has just begun. Party mobilisation will strengthen the party at all levels. Politics is like evangelism. The party must remain the voice of the people,” he said.
Kabimba said the party was looking for people to strengthen it.
“No evangelist preaches to an empty church, and so is politics. UPND is dying slowly but we are not mobilising the people! UPND MPs are worried about 2016,” he said.
Kabimba said UPND was divorced from reality.
He said while in a pact with UPND, Hakainde Hichilema needed more than 50 years to match President Sata’s political experience.
“UPND is a group or political party divorced from reality; they don’t live on this planet. I, who dealt with them, know them. UPND, I want to repeat, I used to tell HH, ‘Michael Sata is far much popular than you. You’ve got 50 years to match up President Sata’s popularity’, and I told them there was no way they were going to win the elections. Even in 2016, there’s no way UPND, MMD can beat PF. There are no politicians in UPND, they don’t know how to analyse politics; politics is not about your cognitive senses,” he said.
Kabimba said some UPND members had confided in him that they would not recontest their seats on their party ticket, opting for PF.
He said UPND was a failed party with shortlived propaganda.
“Winston Chibwe, the SG for UPND, is my first cousin. He took HH to my father, he (Kabimba’s father) said to them ‘You don’t know the man (Kabimba), he won’t agree to join you. Even late Anderson Mazoka, Levy Mwanawasa tried it. I said I don’t believe in him. Even as he was my tribesman, everybody said, ‘Who do you believe in?’ I said ‘Michael Sata’, so those that take lies to Michael Sata, he won’t believe you because he knows me better than my father. Those that took lies (about me), where are they today? They ran away from their own sins; running away from their sins. They ran away on their own,” said Kabimba.

Kabimba is not a failed politician, you will see when we reach the river. It is not a lie that some UPEND members are confiding with him so that come 2016 they will stand on PF ticket. They know for sure that their Akainde will not manage once again to take them the promised land come 2016 as a results they will be perpetual in opposition. We won 2011 elections because of mainly three individuals and these are: President Sata himself,Vice president Guy Scott and Kawimba himself, without these gallant men PF would still be in opposition of course we are not ignoring every party member and sympathizers also contributed tremendously to our victory!

The missing puzzle has finally be placed,how can someone else know you better than your father? In adulthood you can tell from the behavior how someone grew up as a child.This is really sad country men and women, let us at all times pray for our leaders to chase in them spirits of arrogance,lies,bitterness,greed,cruelity and self pity.most of them have wierd back grounds before being national leaders and as citizens if we are not prayerful we shall be pertakers also.

Kabimba is the most useless politician Zambia has ever have. When this little 1diot was under fire from the PF GBM camp, what did he say? He said that PF is the most indisciplined party and most tribal, says Kabimba.
Today Kabimba can have the audacity to attack UPND.

UPND must not bite Kabimba’s bait! Let those MP’s who want to leave UPND for PF do so out of choice and Kabimba should have integrity as to keep it to himself though the faint hearted may panic let it be known that Kabimba may have been expressing his wish than fact. So in praising the 50 years period of Sata it goes to mean politics should not match with latter generations but stick with the Jurassic era? I weep for Zambia.
