*DR. HARRY KALABA SLAMS UPND FOR BETRAYING YOUTHS, CALLS FOR CHANGE IN 2026*
“Immediately after UPND took over governance of the nation, it abandoned the youths that made it win the 2021 general elections and now wants the same youths to suffer or pay for the many years ‘he’ was rejected,” said Dr. Harry Kalaba, Citizens First leader and UKA Elections Chairperson.
Dr. Kalaba expressed disappointment in the UPND government, accusing it of exploiting young people as tools to ascend to power only to discard them once the mission was accomplished.
“This kind of leadership, that uses its people as ladders and later neglects them, is no leadership and thus needs to be stopped via the next general elections,” he added, calling for collective action to hold the government accountable for its failure to deliver on promises made to the youth.
The former Foreign Affairs Minister urged Zambians to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise, stressing its importance in determining the nation’s future. “Registering to vote is the only way to kick out UPND in the 2026 general elections. Do not sit back; your voice matters,” he emphasized.
Dr. Kalaba further highlighted the urgency for inclusive leadership that prioritizes youth empowerment through tangible solutions to unemployment, quality education, and skills development.
“This is a wake-up call for Zambians to demand accountability and not fall for empty rhetoric again. Our youths deserve meaningful empowerment, not mere slogans,” he said.
He concluded by encouraging opposition parties and civil society organizations to work together in advocating for a shared vision that restores hope for the young and drives the country toward sustainable development.
“Together, we can redefine leadership and ensure that Zambia moves toward a future where no citizen feels used or abandoned,” Dr. Kalaba stated.
CF Media
I would never vote for you. Let me remain with UPND chabe . What have I done in this nation for me to vote for a self centred person like you?
Harry and your PF bed fellows, you are responsible for escalating a legacy of using the youths for insults, violence, drug and alcohol abuse as well as dependency syndrome.
Bally has brought them free education and skills training for a sustainable future for themselves.
He has brought in ZNS Voluntary enlistment, yet another plu for skills training.. He has united the youths where you and your minions worked hard to divide Zambia into tribal rivals.
It’s so sad that you can even think of coming back to cause more harm. Kalaba, you left a foreign Service of only Northerners and Easterners. If you dispute, list the appointments you made in your time.
So, You do not qualify. We who have wives from the tribes that were down trodden are rather cautious about this tribe thing.
UNOMUKULO NI BALLY EKA BANE.
Simply put, Bally is the main man!
True words from a true Zambian. One Zambia One Nation bene.
Meant ” bane”
This man is a failure. Are you telling me he hasn’t noticed the following?
Free education.
Meal allowance for university and college students.
CDF will be 36 million in a weeks time. Currently 24 million. From 1 million during PF tenure.
National service reactivated.
Over 300,000 jobs in civil service and security wings created. More on the way.
I don’t know which youths this fool is referring to. Witchcraft is thinking you are the only good person and not appreciating the good that others have done.
This is exactly what Father Chikoya was talking about.
What in this statement is a check/balance? Ukusabaila fye enchito. Tell us what you will do when elected olo ule tina, pantu tapali iku chita tefyo?
Choka na boza yako, mano yabu penta
Hot air from Mr please give us a break only a mad person can come with this rotten ideas, upnd government has done alot on youths compared with your PF criminal government were you was did nothing on youths.Under your position how many youths did you employed when you were a minister????let me be fair under PF criminal government how many youths did you employed???
Kalaba, find another way of remaining relevant in the political circles of this country.
You are basically inciting am uprise against a democratically elected government using what you even know is not correct. Stop lying between your teeth.
If boma visits you, you call it “Shrinking policial space”, “perception”, and the like.
If anything, Zambian youths should count themselves very Lucy to have a president like HH who has done a lot and who is doing a lot for them, just try to go to some of the neighboring countries and see how their friends are crying, why do you want to always cheat and mislead people as if they don’t see what the government is doing.
This is the man who criticized the Honorary Doctorate conferred on HE President HH. To day because bit is “them” he is cherishing his Doctorate.
Bane let’s not unbalance a balance scale.
HH wakulekafye 2026 FORWARD paka 20 sate 1.
Kalaba can’t speak what he can’t do.
We have seen the scores for UPND no wonder UPND has entered Luapula next Eastern in ECL’s village.
Don’t get into what PF used to do to gain political points.
We are with you and you will be next.
Kalaba for president after -26
Mr Kalaba what betrayal is it?
Thousands of youths are employed or benifiting directly from the following:-
Thousands of teachers, soldiers, airmen and women correctional officers, forest and medical personnel, sponsorship for skills training, meal allowances, youths empowerment and cooperatives, Free Education up to form 6, abolishment of exam fees, return of school dropouts, grants and loans, employment in reopened and new mines across the country…etc ADD!!!!
The only fussy is that “THEY” don’t want to see and didn’t expect HH to ascend to the throne and that HIS IS FROM ZAMBEZI REGION as they call it!!! TRUTH TO BE TOLD this is how come we see them ganging up to fight one individual (HH).
God knows when his time will come to pass not under pressure by evil and greedy intention…they will fail as long as it is by selfish intentions and evil.
The Pharisees and Gentiles have ganged up never before it is strange! Capitalists and Socialists at the same dining table? kikikik BALLY wakulekafye he has made them kolonganya.
FORWARD WITH HH7 MPAKA 20 SATE 1 AND BEYOND.
Walker! Are these Kalaba’s checks and balances? Does he even know why he is in politics?
The idyot can’t even give his alternative solutions and policies. This one is a failed politician, forget about him and let’s go forward chabe!
Youths are more happier with UPND, than ever, and they have all the hope with the government.It is the UPND government which has managed to employ the youths in big numbers like in the ministry of Defence and Health as well as Home affairs.Mr Kalaba is just politicking.
Ba Kalaba, be more specific in your presentation of checks and balances. Try to get in touch with Dr. Mbita Derrick Chitala. Maybe he can assist you in this area.
He wrote a piece on Dr. Musokotwane and I found it thought provoking. Iam waiting for Dr. Musokotwane’s response. I hope he won’t just ignore it.
