President Michael Sata last night left for a medical check- up abroad. Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations George Chellah has confirmed in a brief statement made available to QFM News without giving further details. Mr Chellah says President Sata is accompanied by First Lady Dr Christine Kaseba and some family.
Mr Chellah is also part of the President’s entourage. President Michael Sata’s health has been subject to public speculation from the time he left for Israel in June on a private working visit. Meanwhile the Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) says the absence and deafening silence by Republican President Michael Chilufya Sata since coming from the UN meeting in New York is creating a lot of anxieties among electorate and the citizens in general ahead of the Jubilee Day Commemorations.
FODEP Executive Director MacDonald Chipenzi the Republican President who is also PF party leader has remained conspicuously absent from public eye despite the many challenges facing Zambians which include high mealie-meal prices, PF intra-violence and impending labour unrest due to imposed wage and employment freeze.
Mr Chipenzi says this is a clear demonstration of lack of electoral and democratic accountability on the party of the President in particular and government in general. He says it will be good that the President becomes more visible to the electorate to avert future negative perceptions about politicians’ behavior once elected. Mr Chipenzi states that the President’s absence from public eye is also raising questions on whether he will be able to actively participate in the Jubilee Celebrations since he has been visibly invisible and unheard for weeks now.

Why is Mr. Chipenzi talking as if he does not know that the president is currently having some temporary health challenges? Of course when he fully recovers he will resume all these activities, we all know tha.
They know they can’t hide him for the celebrations without being noticed. He will not com fo the celebrations, I can assure u. He will only com back afta independence.
May the good Lord answer our prayers as we pray for our beloved President. Get well soon. We love you. Zambia is unique.
@ tt, you are the what we have, thats the truth. He will not be available this week until independence is over. But its fine, lets just wish him well. If they are lying to us, lwabo.

you know what! we love our president come what may. he is one and the only one.
muletekanya mwebantu. everyone knows that the president is sick and you wonder why they still want to talk about is absence. if this chipenzi has nothing to talk about, you better keep quit and you will lose nothing. you have rightly said it that there are so many things needing attention why can’t you spend time trying to help resolve these problems like high price of maize flour. you will not be a star by talking about what we all know instead you will just be seen as a fool. king cobra the almighty God is with.
Quick recovery Mr. President, may the Lord be with you.
I and the nation at large wishes you a quick recovery mr president,you are the only president at the moment who do what zambia needs,we are so prayerful to the Almight for your good health,and we are so confident he is going to heal you,
ON A SEROIUS NOTE: BAMUDALA BAPOLE ZIOUNA,I MISS HIM SO MUCH,HE FOUGHT VERY HARD FOR PRESIDENCY AND HE TOUGHT ME THE VALUE OF NOT GIVING UP..I LOVE HIM
People can talk say a lot about the beloved president when. We read the bible if you are born then next thing is to die whether rich fat tall short fool wise good bad poor. And many more good behavior and plains , most of us who know the president how he worked hard to be where he is , he not well yes like any other personal you need check up and treatment now you want he to sleep or work when is not well then ulicipuba sana and u are a devil and satan it does not matter who die who is sick it disturb if yo
u think people who closer the president wil suffer and then u celebrate bupuba
But sometimes I wonder mwandi…what is wrong with commenting on the president’s health? Why do people get so uneasy when this subject is brought up? Yes we all know the president is sick and needs medical attention, but in the interim let someone else act instead of leaving that office unattended to. If we know the acting president, then atleast we would be in a position to know who is supposed to address urgent issues in the nation whilst the president is globe trotting for medical attention; spending millions of kwacha at the expense of the majority and while our own hospitals have no medicine…..During Kaunda regime, KK had a special wing at UTH and his children went to the local schools…..
the mistake is the PF leadership and the post. They never agreed that the big man is sick. Leaving everything to speculations and roumers.. Evertime he is away they said he is on working Holiday. He is very fit and working
quick recovery to our beloved president
The chances are very high that wherever he has been evacuated to, he will be attended by a Zambian doctor…These politicians have no shame bane… being attended to by your own in a foreign country ….simply because you ran them off…..the whole situation is a circus….
He z a pure God given president & only God holds hs destine. Long live my kateka.
gate well soon
Anyone in a desperate situation can globetrot ,life is precious
