ABANDON BILL 7 AND STOP BEING EMOTIONAL, OPPOSITION MPs TELL HH
By Prudence Chota
Opposition Members of Parliament have slammed President Hakainde Hichilema’s remarks suggesting that the church is against him due to his origin.
Addressing the media in Lusaka on Wednesday, Lunte MP Mutotwe Kafwaya said President Hichilema must stop bringing ethnicity into national discourse whenever different sectors of society oppose his style of governance.
Mr. Kafwaya said what Zambians have rejected is Bill 7 and the President’s alleged determination to have it enacted against the people’s will. He reminded the Head of State that he was elected by 2.8 million voters from across all regions, and noted that the UPND, while in opposition, also rejected Bill 10 and freely protested against it.
And Lukashya MP George Chisenga said Zambians have not changed in their expectations of leadership, arguing that it is the President who has shifted course. He described it as disheartening for Mr. Hichilema to accuse the church of attacking him when he previously sought refuge and support from the same church while in opposition.
Meanwhile, Tonse Alliance Chairperson Brian Mundubile said the Constitution is a national document and not a personal one, emphasizing that any amendments must be people-driven.
Mr. Mundubile accused the President of dishonesty in handling national matters, saying no one forced him to make promises he has failed to fulfil.
He has since urged the Head of State to promote love and unity rather than division.
You MPs have read the contents, tell us what you don’t want in there. Did you even read and understand?….moreso the illegibility should to increased to a minimum of University degree to avoid intellectually lazy fellas making decisions for the majority.
Mutotwe Kafwaya is clearly one of the venomous haters of HH. Even his face fails to hide is his bitterness. These are the characters who exhibit a foolish sense of entitlement to national leadership, even with their pathetic history of lamentable failure and plunging the country into economic and social chaos. We will never again allow such crooks anywhere near the corridors of power – not even near the spoon drains along those corridors!
