STOP this mentality of State House capture, says Katele Kalumba.
Dr Kalumba, who was cabinet minister in Frederick Chiluba’s MMD administration, said it was a fact that Hakainde Hichilema was now the Republican President.
“Zambians gave him a full mandate to govern them as One Zambia One Nation. He is a President not just for a party the UPND that sponsored him to ascend to power but as a Republican President as by law defined. The UPND has rested its case that Bally is electable,” he said, in a Facebook posting. “Now they have to rest their case that Bally can change our collective fortunes. This is a national not a partisan interest. Those who thought supporting HH would amount to their replacement as new comers on the Holy grail of ukulya mwibala… Hell no. You are wrong.”
Dr Kalumba said President Hichilema would focus on issues that every Zambian could benefit from.
“Stop this mentality of State House Capture. Stop. That’s why Zambians voted for change. Their President had been captured. Do not betray HH the same way many betrayed ECL. He was a good man like his successor. It’s we the fanatical followers that capture State House. Why the witch hunting?” he asked.
Dr Kalumba said there were issues of survival of families and their values.
“There is demand for skill based continuous learning. There are jobs to be created for dignifying work. There is need for play and creative spirituality. There is need to sustain a viable built and natural environment. Let Bally rule with our consent in a democratic society over these issues and more,” said Dr Kalumba
