Dear Dr. Neo Simutanyi,
RE: INVITATION TO A NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON NATIONAL RENEWAL AND TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP
The above subject matter refers.
We would like to thank you for the invitation to participate in the above captioned conference taking place on 6th – 7th March, 2026.
As a party, we fully acknowledge the numerous challenges our nation is passing through and the need for collective action to address systemic social pressures, economic strain and governance challenges.
It’s therefore an honour for the Citizens First to express our willingness to be part of a platform that will critically examine Zambia’s political trajectory, confront economic challenges and address current democratic deficits as a way of coming up with a clear path for cohesive national renewal.
On this premise, and in order for us to prepare adequately for participation, we would like to respectfully request the organisers to avail us with the following information as a bare minimum requirement to inform our participation transparently:
1. Comprehensive list of delegates
2. Rules that will govern the election of a flag bearer
3. Confirmation and participation of the Electoral Commission
We look forward to hearing from you regarding the above request at your earliest convenience.
In National Service,
Vincent Chintu
Secretary General
Citizens First
CC: Hon. Harry Kalaba, Citizens First President
Aba nobody…
What exactly is the objective of this conference? The organizers are all failures in politics, others like the Chairman is failed to captain his own people in western province as a mfumu etc.
What do they want, we have a saving government.
Home affairs, this conference is treasonable move in and kamata who ever will be there.
Such cannot be slowed to go on. If these elders wanted leadership, they should have joined parties. I don’t agree with such manouvers.
Where is our intelligence?
First the CF party has a wrong leader leading it. Harry Kalaba
is not qualified. Please let the investigative wings probe how
kalaba obtained the makelele university qualifications. Makelele is a very serious institution and they wouldnt allow themselves to dragged into the
of bought or fixed degrees like the Congolese universities. When did kalaba enroll, do the courses and graduate from makelele? From being an office orderly and files clerk at the registry at cabinet office, kalaba went into politics without a degree. He claims through emmanuel mwamba to have two degrees and one of them from makelele university. Politicians have become used to lying about their academic backgrounds. Memebe organised a degree for sata that he never had, just so that sata beats the law on the need for tertiary education. Sata never pretended to have gone to school himself and openly attacked those he called the educated people.
Let us institute a proper inquiry into the documents kalaba says he has. Emmanual mwamba looked himself appeared surprised that the former office orderly suddenly, is over qualified. We dont want leaders who cheat on qualifications when they have no nothing. Search harry kalaba before it is too late. Police can start now. Go and established in uganda how, when, and what courses he took.
