LUAPULA PROVINCE PATRIOTIC FRONT PROVINCIAL CHAIRPERSON STATEMENT OVER MISCONDUCT OF HON DR CHITALU CHILUFYA AND HON DR SIMON MWALE, MPs FOR MANSA CENTRAL CONSTITUENCY AND NCHELENGE CONSTITUENCY RESPECTIVELY
.
….The two Parliamentarians have benefited from the PF, and have turned around against the party that gave them support, more especially Hon Dr Chitalu CHILUFYA who at one time was appointed as Minister of Health by President Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu when PF was in Government….
As PF Provincial Chairperson for Luapula Province, I want to condemn the behavior of Hon Dr Chitalu CHILUFYA, MP for Mansa Central Constituency and Hon Dr Simon MWALE, . MP for Nchelenge Constituency, who has accompanied President HH of the UPND when he went to the Southern Province in Mazabuka for Zambia Sugar Company celebrations.
These two Parliamentarians are giving support to HH whilst they were given the mandate to serve the people of Luapula Province in their respective constituencies under the PATRIOTIC FRONT ticket. I am therefore, disappointed by their actions and have violated the party constitution, which demands the two to face disciplinary actions.
The two Parliamentarians have benefited from the PF, and have turned around against the party that gave them support, more especially Hon Dr Chitalu CHILUFYA who at one time was appointed as Minister of Health by President Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu when PF was in Government. The two Parliamentarians have disappointed the party President Dr ECL who had confidence in them when they were adopted and given these important positions, they have thrown back insults at our party which made them to be what they are right now.
I am not surprised that Hon Dr CHILUFYA can behave in such a manner because even when he came to PF, he defected from MMD and he has moved to the ruling UPND, he is portraying himself to be an opportunist on the look out to eat from the serving Government.
I want to ask the remaining PF Members of Parliament, Councilors and the entire party Membership to remain steadfast and focused, let’s continue rallying behind under the good, strong and able leadership of our Party President Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu, even as we are looking forward to 2026 and get back into Government if we work hard.
