EDGAR LUNGU LACKS WISDOM, WILL NOT REGAIN POWER – SIMANGOLWA
Ndola – 27th August,2024
Ndola Business man and United Party For National Development (UPND) member Mr Mellbin Simangolwa says former President Edgar Lungu’s recent threats of violence against civil servants reveal his lack of wisdom.
Mr Simangolwa adds that despite his polished suits, his words expose his true character.” Civil servants are obligated to serve the current administration, not a former president.” He says.
Mr Simangolwa further states that Lungu’s threats also demonstrate his attempts to destabilize the legitimate government.. adding that Zambian people can not be fooled and will not bring back a leader who terrorized them with gas attacks , brutality corruption and other atrocities during his tenure.” He says.
Mr Simangolwa who is also Kabushi aspiring member of Parliament in 2026 said in contrast, President Hakainde Hichilema has shown wisdom and inclusivity by embracing citizens from all political backgrounds.
He discloses that President Hakainde Hichilema’s administration has employed PF councilors in the civil service, promoting equal opportunities.
” Lungu’s violent threats against civil servants highlight his petty and aggressive nature, unlike the mature leadership of President Hichilema. Under Hichilema’s guidance, Zambia is focused on development, with mines reopening and companies like Mulungushi Textiles reviving.Zambia is moving forward, leaving Lungu’s divisive politics behind.” He says.
This Simangolwa must be talking about his President !!!
ECL s speach bordered on treason.
Time is running out. You have 23 months to Bally fix things,stop wasting time with this “Trump” routine. We want results !!!
ECL never threatened any violence. We know English is our second language but simple English is very easy to understand. ECL simply said “all civil servants and police men who are failing to follow the law in implementing their duties will be fired from their positions individually after 2026, after Upnd is out of power . . . !”. Is that threatening violence? Those of us who have worked in the government know that every government position is guided by “terms of reference ” in implementing duties, no matter how junior that position is! So that is what this man must understand. A government officer should be free to say “no” to his supervisor if what he’s being requested to do is not in his terms of reference! Period! Otherwise, in a democracy , a civil servant risks losing his pension by performing duties that are not in his terms of reference!
Is it this man to decide for the people of Zambia whether Edgar Lungu should regain power or not, surely? The biggest opposition party is the people of Zambia and not Mr. Simangolwa! So the people will decide not some Upnd member from Kabushi constituency!
