Government Says An Official Stole And Leaked Constitution Road Map To The Opposition
Lusaka, 12th January 2012
Members of the media, I want to inform you that a serious criminal act has been committed at the Ministry of Justice where some misguided persons have illegally released a classified document to the opposition UPND.
This crime requires an immediate thorough probe by the police and subsequent court action. You may recall that when Hon. Edgar Lungu was appointed Minister of Justice, he presented the draft constitution to Parliament in the first two months of assuming office.
This act of good faith and commitment was done in order to allow Members of Parliament to go through the document and make recommendations in consultation with their constituents.
This was after a consultative meeting with civil society members. In addition, hon. Lungu constituted a technical team to advice on how to move the process forward in order to fulfill the wishes of Zambians that have been calling for a new people driven constitution.
I regret to inform you that this document that was to chart a progressive way forward has been stolen and subsequently released to the public even when it is a bona-fide government document that would normally require clearance before being released to the public.
The government takes this crime very seriously and we would like the police to vigorously probe the matter and take the perpetrators to court.
We want to run a government of laws and not wanton disorder that has the potential of throwing the nation into chaos.
Let me remind you that the PF Government is the only party capable of passing the constitution in Parliament for clauses that do not require a referendum because we have the numbers: 81 MPs plus the support of 26 other opposition legislators.
The UPND which is encouraging illegal acts at the Ministry of Justice cannot pass any law because it has only 27 MPs. The UPND cannot even form the bare minimum quorum of 53 required for Parliamentary business to take place.
Government finds the behaviour of UPND unprofessional by taking credit for the work done by the Ministry of Justice Legal. As a government we work on the basis of integrity and such desperate actions raises serious question of lack integrity on the party of the UPND. No wonder they are far away from a position where they can be trusted with the responsibility to run government.

I understand the PF says their plans to recognise the Chitimukulu, reduce fuel and farming inputs prices, reinstate nurses, etc. (meaning everything that HH has or will promise) is still under classified government documents and this is the reason they are always announced after UPND announces.

Just got a message from someone who attended PF rally in Mansansa Mkushi Farm -Block. This is what they had to say;
“Yes I was at a pf raly at masansa in Mkush farmblok. there was a big embarrassment as pipo shouted down area MP Ingrid Mpande b4 she can open her mouth 2 speak. she disgracefully went back 2 ha chair and sat dwn. pipo were feried frm far away places 60km away. and almst haf of the crowd were school chldren. and mst pipo i toked 2 Said thy didnt get wht thy wre expecting 2 HEAR FRM THR PRESDENT. THY LAMENTED THT THEY WRE VERY DISAPOINTED”.
I`ve not had information from this part of Central Province on how HH and Lungu are doing, so I assigned somebody to give me some data. Things do not look good for Lungu.

@Blago. Are you new to Mkushi South? Remember! Oh! Plz do! Its so recent! HH was at Chikupili, his message was PF didn’t know the differnce between Basal & Top dressing, Central Province gave him a wife, so give him an MP, cadres came from as far as Chalata & Kabwe. Election day: UPND beaten clean, very clean. He went into hibernation for 8 days.
now on 23/01/15, he will run into Liuwa National Park to become Zambia’s 6th rebel leader vis: Mushala, Never Spoliler Kapenda, Sipalo The strangler, Ringo Phiri the bank robber, Mailoni Brothers and our latest addition as from 25/01/15 Hakasanguka Humureble.

UPND are very useless, very selfish, thieves and thugs with pangas yet they are busy calling their friends names. HH can not even have a road map, or he thinks is how to keep cows and pay his workers peanuts. He is a thief, PF go ahead a sue this foolish man. He stole the big engines constitution road map and was busy bragging and boasting. Shameful. We will punish for dis honesty. Useless elder and Satanist at the same time.

No matter how much you want to vilify HH, he still remains your next president and the earlier you put this fact in thick tribal skull the better. For come next Tuesday, HH is the 6th President of the Republic of Zambia.

UPND has planted all Tongas in govt as spies. This is a warning to Govt officials beware of Tongas wherever you are,they are paid for such foolishness. Even what happened in Chirundu over ECZ trucks, it was a Tonga chap. DESPERATION INDEED. Look out for such elements and sort them out, let them get jobs from their desperate hh, who has no integrity.

A true hallmark of primitivism is to argue on the basis of tribalism, racism and other such vices.
I am more inclined to pity the f00l who argues using abusive tribal language than the person who is being belittled/insulted because of his/her tribe or race.
Zambians, I humbly request that we avoid stirring up tribal hatred. It can never result in any good. History has so many lessons on the evils of such talk. Take a walk in the Rwanda Genocide Museum and you will see that we (Zambians) are taking the path that led to that terrible genocide, and all for what? A politician?
Must I hate a person for what God made him/her out to be? A matter for which that person had no option. Must I hate that person because he/she was born black or white? Hutu or Tutsi? Tonga or Bemba…

I think for a progressive Zambian, it is very primitive of you to talk about tribe. We are all Zambians. Why then do you ten blame whites of being racialists if you cannot stop your tribal talk. This is 21st Century where tribe matters very little. No matter a lot of you who subscribe so much to tribe will always remain miserably poor.

SIMPLICITY, simplicity, simplicity. how many times did i call you? firstly government does not install chiefs. each tribe has its own way of choosing a chief. what people fighters did was to antagonise this process and payer farmer want to recognise chitimukulu all they need is to say they have recognised him period, they are still in government. lets not hear them say it was their plan after 21st , because a plan that you not excuted yeilds nothing. thats why you are simplicity……..

January 13, 2015 at 9:03 am
Ooh, some of us are very illiterate, not like some of you. I meant recognizing the Chitimukulu. Anyway my friend, I am not worried because my president who will be your president too on 21st will be in charge and therefore I should just wait and sharpen my vocal chords so that I scream the loudest at Supreme Course on 21st/22nd. But please admit that HH is a thief and is ingombe ilede.

What is this nonsense about Tongas being paid to leak anything. Such thinking can only come from sick minds with mental challenges. Tongas have been hard working since time immemorial. They have never invaded any tribe for food or property, never looted or plundered any tribe. Whatever they own they work for it. Check your history. Either such writers are retards or social misfits to come up with such ideas. Tongas will survive you or any haters around. They have existed here longer than ba mwisa whose orign is just across the border but for the Tongas this is their only habitat and they will defend it to the last inch.

Instead of being active the PF government is being reactive, if thats its road map to the Constitution Reforms why hasnt it represented it to the public? How long has the people of Zambia being waiting for this? Every time HH comes up with something, in 2 days PF will also spring into fray and announce same reforms.
