The ruling PF has assured that opposition UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema that President Edgar Lungu and his administration will not lose any sleep over any pressure from the opposition.
And PF Media and Publicity Committee Vice Chairperson Sunday Chanda says nothing of the opposition’s propaganda and alleged twisted ideologies aimed at swaying public opinion will succeed in breaking the enduring spirit of the Zambian people.
In a statement to Qfm News Mr. Chanda notes that Zambians know that the opposition’s alleged sugar-coated politics and pronouncements may win a few headlines but do not work.
Mr. Chanda states that his party will however continue to explain to the people that government’s investments will not bear fruit in just one day but that the direct and indirect benefits will accrue to the present and future generations of Zambians.
He says the ruling PF is certain that posterity will judge generously the on-going investments.
The PF Media and Publicity Committee vice chairperson says the opposition can therefore be assured that President Lungu and the PF are not afraid of public scrutiny of the respective programs and decisions being made.
He explains that this is because ruling PF understands that such scrutiny and criticism by the Opposition and other stakeholders, when done objectively and in good faith are essential in creating the desired understanding among citizens.
Mr. Chanda says his party believes engagement between itself and the opposition should be anchored not simply in giving the public what it wants to hear but rather what the public needs to hear.

These are the signs of change on the horizon. Denial is always a bad sign. Pf we do not want you to respond to the irrelevant developments on the political scene. What we want to hear from you is how you are going to tackle the many problems we have had since lungu took over. Lungu has not even addressed the nation to assure them that everything will be ok. Why can you prioritise the zambian people for once? When GBM became UPND vice president, lungu issued a statement. Surely is lungu trying to say that GBM is more important than zambians’ welfare for him to comment on him? Please can we wipe these fools out in 2016. vote upnd bane.

Good and mature response Mr Sunday Chanda. These opposition party emperors do need a reminder sometimes. But please, make it no habit to me repetitively responding to their rantings, it puffs up their seared rantings. Take a leaf from the president, talk less, but work more.

@Kachema…technocrats in Government do not need to explain to you all the work they are doing to redress the various issues that are besetting the nation! All of you stupid upnodown cadres do is critisize. Tell me, iwe ci mwankole, what ideas do you have to redress, even one issue, that you have pointed at? Zero! You empty-headed Kachema!!

my friend you’ve taken the answer right out of my mouth, VOTE OUT AMA FI NI LUNGU. @ citizen, wat technocrats does pf have? for instance,wen you came in you had frank bwalya at zesco and that thug nsanda at rda, instead of engineers you appointed cadres. since you dunder heads are always crying for solutions, here are some; remove your dull cadres from key institutions like zesco, take roads where there is economic activity taking place e.g northwestern, unlike luapula and muchinga where the only industry is selling bananas and witchcraft.

Iwe ci shepard, wanunka pipi nge ng’ombe isho uchema! I cannot force you to vote in any manner other than by whatever is your preference! But you and yours are in the minority, so shall you forever continue to be in opposition!!! Sorry, but State House mwakula ikumbwila fye but you shall never enter therein. You are so dull; are you telling me that the only people who perform in the civil service, in industry and in the financial sector, are only those appointed at the top? No wonder you are kachema, the stench of cow-dung is confusing your reasoning!!

iwe dunder head, who is in charge of resources? who provides policy direction? the only point you are right about is that you are in the majority, in compounds and street vending. Iam a PROUD KACHEMA. I WOULD RATHER BE A KACHEMA(RANCHER) than a PLASTIC BAG SELLER, MARKETEER or VENDOR which seems TO BE THE MAJOR PREOCCUPATION OF YOU AND TRIBESMATES.

am watching obama’s speech in kenya. you dull pf chaps will do well to download it. key points obama made are: DEMOCRACY DOES NOT END AND VOTING, BUT YOU MUST COMPLAIN AS A CITIZEN TO KEEP GOVERNMENT ON ITS TOES. AFRICANS HAVE A TENDENCY TO BLAME FOREIGNERS FOR ITS PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF ITS CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT LEADERS. TRIBAL POLITICS ARE DANGEROUS TO THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY

Lungu is like an intelligent boy who has never failed a test finished the syllabus. Others no notes just hoping for a paper to leak or bribe exminers becoz they have money.
