Amos Chanda must learn from others, UPND will use him, dump him and he will still go to jail
Dear Editor,
I have read the recent two articles by former State House Special Assistant for Press Amos Chanda.
Amos’ writings are way too convoluted to serve the purpose they are intended to serve.
Writing clearly and in normal tone especially for the general readership is the way to go.
Secondly, UPND is like a hypersensitive and superstitious bunch of people, they will not accept Amos in their ranks, not anyone once associated with PF and Lungu.
HH will never sort out his communication challenges because even him doesn’t even know what communication looks or feels like.
No amount of advice from outside will change anything for their communication anchored by the incompetent Clayson Hamasaka
Everyone who has run or joined them from outside like Frank Bwalya or Cosmas Chileshe has been shunted to their political basement.

Amos Chanda has written several article giving his point of view. Do we agree with him, not totally. Does that make him a UPND cadre?
There is a shallow perception that anyone who doesnt share your opinion is from a party that different from the opinion. We are individuals before we are able to vote. Born with a view and outlook in life. The arguement or positions others share may initially be difference, its the content in their outlook that can change our view of issues. Give a different outlook. In growth we learn. Its wrong to put people in boxes. Unless of course Lumpens like Indigo. Who live by “dogma”, and are untrainable.
Unless the court cases Amos faces (one of which I believe he was convicted and either should have served his sentence or as he writes these articles is serving (and a great way and productive way to spend his free time while serving, I must say). Should that be the case, does that make him a cadre? Free will is what he is exercising. The very thing the UN fimo fimo came to ensure is not being abrogated within the confines of the law. We are such hypocrits when we write article like this.
Umulandu taubola.
All the crooks are joining UPND so that they are shielded from facing their crimes.
We will cage them all, including the one shielding them, after 2026.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Kiki….there is what is called Statue of limitation. Smart Alec….use the appropriate idoms in the proper context. There is no one size fits all….kikikiki.
Amos is already serving for one of his cases. Who said his other cases have been set aside. What proof do you even have?
What you tried to with Chitotela is an example that wont work. They know that. If they (former PF members) think the law is selective, then you are wrong.
Mr Silungwe, allow people like Mr Amos Chanda to have and freely submit their divergent views, we live in a democracy.It does not mean if he writes what he fills is right then he is being used no.That is wrong prejudice sir.We must start appreciating our rights, that are enshrined in our Zambian constitution.One can write to appreciate what the UPND is doing and the the other person may wish to oppose.This is how democracy works Sir.
Mr Amos writes what he feels is right and to discourage him with such a wrong judgement is unfair.It does not mean that if one had conflicts with the law at one time or another then he must be stopped from writing and be judged wrongly.
