HH’S LACK OF EXPERIENCE IN GOVERNMENT HAS AFFECTED SERVICE DELIVERY – MUNDUBILE.
….Says the opposition should continue relying on ECL’s guidance on unity.
MPOROKOSO PF MP Brian Mundubile says President Hakainde Hichilema’s lack of experience in government leadership has affected the UPND’s service delivery.
And Mundubile has urged Zambians to prepare for a new leadership in 2026.
Further, Mundubile says the opposition should continue relying on former president Edgar’s guidance on unity, saying that’s the only way to dislodge the UPND in 2026.
In an interview, Tuesday, Mundubile said people had enough time to evaluate leaders to take over, saying they should not vote out of frustration because of the failures of the UPND.
He said it had been very difficult to know the direction that the UPND were taking the country.
“The lack of direction we are facing now is on account of lack of capacity to deliver. Yes, President Hichilema is trying to work hard, but are the results visible? No. And we quickly have to find out why they are not showing. Some of the reasons are that there was no clear vision, no policy direction as to where we want to go, no anchor projects. It’s been very difficult to know the direction the UPND wanted to take the country, everybody is left guessing. As we go forward, Zambians must begin to prepare for a new leadership. But even as they prepare for a new leadership they should not vote out of frustration because of how the UPND have failed. They still have enough time for Zambians to begin to evaluate the leaders that will take over office,” Mundubile said.
“It’s also important to look at the past performance by individuals that aspire to lead. It doesn’t matter in what capacity they have been serving. Zambians should not lose hope and confidence. I fear that we could have voter apathy if we are not careful. People will not see the need to go and vote because President Hakainde Hichilema had raised the hopes of the people, they will not see the need to wake up at 02hrs. The flagship project is free education but out of that what do we have? Have we really gotten the best deal out of that? No. Funding of CDF has been a big challenge, this is a story that nobody tells. Most of the times you get CDF funded actually in December, meaning the whole year people will just be waiting for their projects to be funded”.
He said there was need to have more than the current minimum requirements for one to be president.
“So as a politician there are certain minimum expectations that I had from the UPND and these were not from nowhere. We need to take time to evaluate the people that we vote for, evaluate the vision that they have, evaluate the capacity they possess to deliver on their visions as it was.There’s some minimum exposure a leader should go through before he can even be chosen as president. Learning from the UPND and their failures it also goes to show one thing, it’s true that President Hakainde Hichilema has never been in government before, he’s been in the private sector. I think the lack of experience in the public sector has had an impact on service delivery and the way that he’s been able to run government,” Mundubile said.
“So it’s important going forward that if we want to come up with transformational laws and policies, one of the areas in future to look at is how one ascends to the position of president. It’s not enough to put conditions such as a grade 12 certificate. We are talking about the lives of the people that must be secured. Many other positions lower than president can have minimum qualifications. I think it’s within our power as a people to also demand that for one to be president they must possess certain experiences, they should have been exposed to certain positions so that there are no experiments as it were”.
He said the three years of the UPND had taught them lessons to ensure that they made promises they would be able to deliver.
“The three years of UPND in power have lessons, even as politicians we know what not to do because of what the UPND have done. They overpromised without carrying out an assessment on how they can do certain things. So when it came to implementing it was a total failure. We now know that before you make a promise, do a study, some research and look at the capacity to deliver those promises. It’s not a very comfortable feeling to be called liars all the time as leaders. Leaders are supposed to be respected but they are called for who they are that they are liars because they lied. It takes away a lot from leaders so they can avoid that by only making promises on things that they can do, not things they dream or wish that they can do. They look at the practicality of doing those things,” Mundubile said.
And Mundubile said the opposition should continue relying on former president Edgar’s guidance on unity, saying that was the only way to dislodge the UPND in 2026.
“I wish to send my seasonal greetings to the Tonse alliance led by president Edgar Lungu for the leadership that has been provided during this difficult time. We saw what was happening in Kawambwa, Tonse was barely a month old and yet performed very well. We want to continue relying on president Lungu’s leadership going forward to navigate and guide opposition political parties to come together to work and have concerted efforts so that in the 2026 elections the number of candidates are reduced. That’s the only sure way that will dislodge the UPND government given the many failures that they’ve registered so far,” said Mundubile

Mundubile after stealing as PF you want to deflect with lables. All day every day that is all you do. Deflect.
What confidence do you want us to have in you?
You want to stand under what party first? Cause you are not PF. You have run to UKA or Tonse with your Lungu as an alliance as what Party? You dont have a party. Wanting to sit on a seat, as what? Sort out your PF issues you kept kicking down the road before you can tell us you can lead.
You home is a mess cause of Lungu want to be at the helm. See how you guys allowing him to run a sherade has now cost you. You are just a bunch of jokers. Always making noise but can not even find your own tail.
An old man like mundubile; waking up every morming just to write shi***t instead of offering constructive checks and balances. Shame!
Suzuki can not organize the party he is depending on old fork to organize the party on his behalf.
Service delivery in stealing. If you can not talk after Lungu has spoken while fully aware that he had resigned from the party and active politics and you can’t talk back after he told you that he is the only anointed Tonse alliance presidential nomine what chance do you have of speaking as an opposition leader. You don’t fit the mode. Even KBF is better than you. He would speak out and withstand the PFs insults. I am not saying KBF is qualified. Just shut up. What can you do. Wait for your seat to be nullified! Do you know how you ceased being leader of opposition in parliament? Sampa as your leader then removed you! The same Sampa you have been fighting in court expelled you and 9 others from parliament. No need to sound cleaver than you are.
Mr. Mundubile, if stealing was an experience, then I would agree with you. It’s true, Hakainde lacks experience in stealing and he doesn’t even want to gain any. And there is no new leadership to prepare for in 2026 because Zambians already have the right leadership in place. Bally up to 2031.
When I look around for the opposition I only see teddy bears! 2026 elections will be worse than KK’s elections where he was competing with the same frog. HH will not even have a frog to compete with.
Mr Mundubile Sir, you and PF with experience spoiled the economy and managed to put the country in huge debts.You implemented some wedge freeze and employment freeze making Zambians especially the youth become vulnerable.HH is now fixing your omissions and plunderings you can’t even say thank you.But you just want to come back.
Who is born with experience.
Mundubile should be speaking like a mature not a propagandist.
Were you Mr. Mundubile born experienced in governance? Weren’t you the ones learning how to govern andsteal from government coffers?
HH has never been a President neither has ever been in any government position, with such background “I GIVE HIM KUDOs”.
He has so far tried and is trying his best better than Edgar Chagwa Lungu of course.
Very calm and sober minded.
No laws signed while drunk and regret when sober.
Hon. Mundubile, please prove your relevance within PF where there are many factions including Mr. Edgar Lungu who is your leader and still clinging on as PF President. So, where will stand as what?
It has less to do with lack of experience, but pure incompetence and corruption.
Look at our friends in West Africa where military have taken over. Their new leaders had zero experience, but are now delivering the world to their citizens.
We need an Ibrahim Traore to help us achieve greatness.
In the meantime, rental taxes have been increased, as have PTT.
He is punishing citizens for his incompetence, and thinks the way forward is tax increases.
Vote wisely in 2026.
You’re just luck our security wings are insensitive, such remarks saw your friend Tayali flee to 3 countries before being accepted in Malaysia on asylum.
This Tyrol wants a Coup in Zambia.
Be careful. Osa samwa. I can ignite.
A man without experience has done better than PF with all the experience they brag about they have spoiled a once thriving economy they took over from MMD. between PF and UPND who took over a favourable economy when they ascended to power?. Clearly if HH and UPND can navigate through such tough times and come through without recorded death as a result of starvation, unrest in the country due to a failing economy, unrest from the youth due to lack of employment etc. we didnt witness such, therefore it simply means most people understand the direction of the UPND and HH. People understand some thing are not short term marvels but rather long term essentials.
Mundubile, yes for 7 years monkeys were put in the maize field and all maize consumed. That’s the experience you are talking about. You want to come back to steal again..aikona man!
Mundubile, HH has 3 year experience as president of the republic and more than 10 years as party president. You have zero experience so your ascension is just rumbling as all in PF have signed for that preoccupation.
What experience do you need Iwe. And you want to be a president? With such dullness??? Forget my vote I have no time for nincompoops…..
Noise making from Mundubile,you dull Mundubile whose brain thinks ECL only.
Now that he has gained the experience you talking about he is going to deliver, nobody was born with experience.its now over three years that makes him more experienced kwamana.
Come 2026, I will vote for HH so that he can gain five more years experience.
