No Youths in Parliament, they are Excited!
In a shocking move, Chiengi Member of Parliament, Hon.Given Katuta Mwelwa, says her fellow MPs should guard against provisions that should allow more youths in Parliament as they are excited and will displace them.
She likened a scenario where MPs passed a new Constitution in 2016 and celebrated not knowing that it had clauses such as a mandatory G12 certificate requirement that ended up knocking out some MPs.
She appealed to current MPs to unite in opposing clauses that are meant to give free access to youths in Parliament; “Pakwakana ubunga, tapaba insoni”!
She appealed to youths that wished to participate in governance to compete like everyone else; ” after all most of you muliba kote, nabana, nabeshikulu”
Though controversial, I agree with you for the first time! These so called youths even respect nobody and still need to mature a bit before they can go parliament. Look at the “OLD youths” we currently have in parliament like Kangombe, Munir Zulu, Jean Chisenga, etc. Ma labisi yeka yeka… all of them useless. we cant more of such otherwise they will be arguing about “pubic hair” in parliament just like Munir Zulu did.
Youths we have at the moment are very useless talk of Munir Zulu,chisega ,mukosa and chibinwell mpundu these guys turned the well respected parliament into dreamer no more under 45 in parliament.what kind of parliament are we going to have Zambians???I’m told that singers and dancers are standing.
Yes those are youths but what about the elderly women like you, don’t you want more women in Parliament? It’s like you enjoy being few among men.You can guard against the provisions that will allow more youths but they can still stand as independents just like others did.
Youths are Zambians, and they are the future. They should not be excluded from taking part in making crucial decisions that will affect their future.
Captain ibrahim Traore is also a youth. Just like the presidents of Mali and Niger. Even the Senegalese president falls into that bracket. Look at what they are achieving compared to the dinosaur presidents in most African countries that are only interested in stashing dirty money into their offshore accounts. Money they will never even enjoy because most of them will die soon and that money will never come back to their countries.
So let us give the youths a chance. KK was also a youth when he liberated Zambia.
Reject tribalism, corruption and oppression.
Vote wisely in 2026.
That is the dictator in her speaking nonsense. All dictators dont like youths because they have so much energy they threaten leadership. The laws state the entry age for MPS Dont add other unconstitional regulations in the name of order or decor
Traore Ibrahim is a well mannered character that is typical of West African youths. Very traditional, patriotic and politically morivated. A Zambian youth is completely opposite of that. Believe me given a walk-in sliver platter seat in our Parliament you will see circus.
When did they become patriotic? Ask them about the history of Zambia they no nil. The Traores character have their countries at heart NOT pride, cru cru, mansions, Dubai shopping, fly to Hawaii, Singapore…This is the dream of a Zambian youth to go into Parliament.
Tepano tuli, they will be there and you will approve.
We have old youths to day in Parliament what are we seeing? Drunk! Naked comments and made to leave the chamber, unverified information, some hardly speak…
I feel numb to compare patriotism level and caliber of then youths; KK, VJ, Chona, Changufu, Kavindele, Bulawayo, Nkumbula, Mwanakatwe..etc. with today’s youths!
Banono saaana in politics than pride.
Youths to day are malabishi. When did they learn manners?
Examples are there already: The OLD YOUTHS to day in Parliament the Jean Kapata, Bin Mpundu, JJ Banda, Munir Zulu….are a sham. Very controversial unrealistically, drunk in Parliament, shameful naked comments…etc.
The youths in Zambia are a spoiled lot.
If the Parliamentary description of youth is 35 years then they ones making noise about going into politics ain’t Youths and so no smooth sail.
Unfortunately Zambian youths to day are no where near sanity. The Parliament will no longer be a low making house BUT where insults and social abuses will be order of the day. When drunk we shall be seeing Chimwe mwe dance in Parliament…Not a joke; this is a real prophecy.
