By Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba
Scenes like those in Baghdad during the Gulf war almost came to Zambia yesterday.
In the continued quest to stop the UPND from exercising their right to meet and interact with the membership and general electorate, Edgar Lungu and Chishimba Kambwili unleashed their dogs on our members attending to party programs at our offices in Kitwe.
If not enough, the compromised police instead of arresting the known perpetrators, Shi Mumbi, Chile 1, Shawi whose roots are somewhere on the Middle East fired tear gas canisters in our office and surrounding homes, hurting so many people including pregnant women and children.
The Jerabos who were hired injured a several people some not UPND members. The panga wielding thugs went on rampage until repelled by our vigilant youths who defended themselves exemplary and had the thugs retreat as police initially looked on, only to tear gas the UPND members.As if this was not enough, Luanshya police tried to block us from visiting our members at our district office but the residents would not have it and we managed to complete out program, when after being harangued by one Chishimba Kambwili with threats of transfers and dismissals charged on a peaceful crowd firing tear gas indiscimintely in the CBD. What followed was a hot pursuit of our entourage by these police firing tear gas as we sped out of town through Mpongwe.
During our tour of the Coppperbelt it is evident that Edgar Lungu and his PF know and the writing is very clear that your grip on this important electoral base has slipped and no amount of political mechanisations will redeem you. You are gone hence your pronouncement through Inonge Wina, who too has lost direction.
Anyway, let me tell you that your tricks with Inonge during the PFs fiasco of Mulungushi Wong happen for 2016.
The people of Copperbelt have said it and are saying it loud and clear WE WANT CHANGE every where we have been.
This Zambia and its people are bigger than you and the sooner you realise it the better. You may entangle yourself in issues that will haunt not very far from now.
Ba Chishimba as for you, it is very evident that the people of the Copperbelt ,Luanshya and Roan constituency in particular have rejected you. You will be humiliated beyond measure because you have gone beyond selling your soul to the devil and pitiful.
The police who were part of those incidents be warned. You have been noted and you shall be held responsible for your actions, whether under orders or not.

We seem to be going through the same rubbish of intimidation using state machinery regime after regime! When will this nonsense end? To hell with the senseless and undemocratic public order act which has proved to be an instrument of oppression and discrimination!

Dr. Kenneth Kaunda became our president without serving in government and the same is true about Fredrick Chiluba. Why should this be an issue for HH? You loser. You will die in your poverty.

What is wrong with HH and his UPND party supporters? For sure how do you compare the Republican President to a Party President. Ba HH please slow down and do not compare yourself to Edgar Chagwa Lungu who has been given a mandate by the people of zambia to lead. Whether he won by a small margin does not make you think you are equal to him and can disregard the laws of the land by daring the police and hope to gain cheap political mileage when the law is applied to you. Mind you former USA President George W Bush won by a very small margin when he defeated Democratic ALGore to scoop the presidency but the looser did not behave like HH who has lost the elections Four times. Ofcourse you may say no one is above the law but the president does not need permission to go anywhere in Zambia because he is the president and he is more priviledged than any other citizen in the country including you HH. For GBM I have no comment as the man is a lost soul who just backs anyhow.
