Emmanuel Mwamba forced to drink his own Saliva
PF aspiring presidential candidate and former Ambassador to the African Union and Ethiopia was last night made to drink his own Saliva. Mwamba appearing on TV Bakwetu with Masheke Akashambatwa on the popular punch for punch debate was challenged on all his popular theoretical claims. Masheke made Mwamba to repeat after him including when Masheke stated that the PF made calculated errors in selling Mopani copper mines for $1. Mwamba who has in recent months embarked on a campaign to force the New Dawn government to repossess the mopani mines was made to rethink his campaigns. Masheke challenged him that the PF made a mistake and the UPND should be allowed to fix those basic errors in a civilised way. Mwamba has seemed to suggest that the sale agreement should be ripped up and have the mines returned to the people of Zambia. Masheke challenged Mwamba that the mines are not run on air but requires substantial continues capital injections which our government cannot manage.
On corruption, Mwamba was made to condemn the corrupt practices which the PF indulged in. He also added his condemnation of the cadres in bus stations.
Mr. Mwamba whose joining of the PF has remained a mystery considering that he was working for the former MMD president Chiluba who was an enemy of the then opposition leader. When PF won the 2011 elections, Mwamba was one of the provincial ministers who was appointed outside the patriotic front structure. It has not been established how close Mwamba was to both Chiluba and Michael Sata when the two leaders were never friends at the the time Chiluba died.
Mwamba has also featured on several media platforms where he has appeared to just recite his political thesis with the interviewers barely challenging him. However, for the first time, Mwamba was left with a dry mouth that he visibly licked his slips to make saliva to drink. The man was for the first time reduced to a cadre that he seemed to have lost his direction. Towards the end of the debate, Mwamba had a connection disruption which we presume allowed him to drink some water. On resuming, he claimed that he disn’t know that his phone had run out of battery. However, Mwamba, like every rich person in Lusaka has a faster broadband and uninterrupted electricity supply.
Mwamba was also reminded to appreciate the freedom of speech which PF denied the people of Zambia. Overall, the debate was mature and a new approach to democratic debates in a civilised country. Well done to both of you
