BAD ELEMENTS REGROUPING IN PF – UPND

By SUFZ Staff

The United Party for National Development (UPND) has said people that made the MMD unpopular are now regrouping in the Patriotic Front (PF) and urged Zambians to reject them.

UPND President Hakainde Hichilema’s spokesperson and special advisor Douglas Syakalima said the people that had defected to the PF were responsible for the suffering of Zambians.

He said President Banda could not be blamed for the mess in the MMD in the last twenty years but people like Mbita Chitala, Mike Mulongoti, Sylvia Masebo and Lameck Mangani were responsible.

He said Zambians should not vote for the PF because all the bad elements that were denting the MMD had regrouped in that party.

Zambians had not forgotten that PF President Michael Sata was a corrupt person who deposited government money in his personal account to earn him interest, he said.

Mr. Syakalima said in Lusaka that most of the people that are defected to the PF from the ruling party were responsible for the liabilities that the MMD was blamed for in the last 20 years.

“President Rupiah Banda has only been in the MMD for the last two years and most of these elements that are today defecting to the PF together with Mr. Sata are the people who actually made Zambians to suffer.

“These are the bad elements that were reliabilities to the MMD and now they want to reinvent themselves and they are regrouping in the PF,” he said.

He said that Zambians were not dull to easily forget that it was these same people who were responsible for the hacking of people in Chawama and had deposited government monies in their personal accounts to accumulate interest.

“They are the ones who messed us up and now they are gathering in the PF,” he said.

He said the defections had nothing to do with the ideology but personal preservation so that they could continue to abuse Zambians.

“As UPND we shall not allow that to happen.  We are not stupid that we can be deceived by these fake politicians in the names of Mbita Chitala, Mike Mulongoti, Sylvia Masebo and Lameck Mangani.

“Not long ago when we were in the pact with the PF Mbita Chitala asked me why we had decided to enter into a pact with a lunatic.  So today what has changed that he Chitala is singing praises for the same person,” he said.

He said Zambians should not be deceived by the 90 days projects that the PF was preaching during their campaigns.

“In fact it is 90 days of destruction.  The power of social shame doesn’t seem to dawn on Mr. Sata, he said.
