‘I didn’t choose where to be born’ and his people are cruel for declaring Tasila’s seat vacant – Sishuwa
First, they effectively killed Edgar Lungu by blocking him from leaving the country to seek medical attention until it was too late.
Then, after the former president died, they moved to block the Lungu family from burying their loved one unless “I didn’t choose where to be born” was allowed to attend the funeral.
Now they have grabbed the daughter’s parliamentary seat on the premise that she has chosen to remain with the father’s unburied body in South Africa rather than return to Parliament.
They are cruel, these people!
This is how it should be. I dont know why you are writing about it negatively. A sitting govt must not brooke nonsense. And Lungu killed himself. His dirty political past caused all that which happened after he lost power. You should not accuse the UPND govt. The lazy Tasila, typical of plundering mentality thought she could hide under endless funeral and keep earning from tax payer money. Nonsense to think that UPND should have tolerated that
There is no cruelty here, it is a matter of following the law. If the law is cruel it is the law which is cruel, not the one following the law. She can recontest the seat. It cannot remain on charity to one person.
Shishuwa if you’re a learned man you should familiarise yourself with the law. What does the law say about parliamentarians absent from work for such a period of time? Please let us apply logic in what we engage ourselves in.
Dr. Sishuwa Sishuwa has lost his ability to reason due to being mired in hypocrisy and unethical behaviour by making unfounded statements. To begin with, the delay in burying former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu was instigated by the Lungu family, who were misled by Makebi Zulu and the PF leadership. The postponement of President Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s burial should not be blamed on President Hakainde Hichilema, but rather on the Lungu family and the PF, as they are using it to gain political advantage and sympathy from the Zambian populace. Most Zambians are well aware of this, and Makebi Zulu, who is a significant obstacle and the representative of the Lungu family, has deserted them, which Dr. Sishuwa Sishuwa seems to accept as normal.
Furthermore, Tasila Lungu is not above the law; is her extended absence from Parliament consistent with its operational principles and conditions? While people are criticising the situation surrounding Tasila Lungu’s expulsion, individuals like Dr. Sishuwa Sishuwa should refrain from speaking like uninformed laypeople and instead should make specific claims supported by legal evidence rather than providing vague and misleading information. He would benefit from grounding his explanations in law and identifying which laws have been violated by Tasila Lungu’s expulsion from Parliament?
This historian is now history. He cannot even make sense to himself anymore
