DAVIES Mwila has urged NRPUP Members of Parliament to dust off their travel plans and make the trip to Mukobeko Maximum Security Prison, saying too many of them have apparently found better things to do than visit their incarcerated party leaders.
Mwila, a former Patriotic Front secretary general, said he was concerned that only a handful of NRPUP MPs had visited treason-charged opposition leaders Brian Mundubile, Makebi Zulu and 16 others being held at Mukobeko in Kabwe.
And, in a warning that sounded less like a casual reminder and more like attendance being taken, Mwila said the Tonse Alliance was keeping an eye on who was visiting the prisoners and, perhaps more importantly, who was not.
In a video posted by Grindstone Television Zambia, Mwila appealed to NRPUP MPs to visit Mundubile and the other opposition figures, reminding them that “loyalty defines a man”.
“I want to praise the supporters of BM, especially those that have been going to Kabwe to see the president, the vice-president and others. I know others have not been there, especially Members of Parliament. But I want to say that we are monitoring who is going there
Why monitor? The level of immaturity and childishness in this man’s daily articles shows just how out of touch some people are and keep wanting to drag us back into the stone age.
Empathy is not demanded. One doesnt have to keep a registry to show they care about a person. Let people go a visit cause they want to…this is not some television show like “Mrs. Bucket” where one acts in a particular manner for the audience. Zambians are too busy “erking” out a living to worry about the choice and consequences of some “wannabe” president. They voted and have left the task of their lives being improved by the Government of the day. That is democracy. You kind of democracy is cojohing, yelling and beating the life out of people to get them to do what you want. Where is democracy in that? Where is ones freedom in that?
Get a life and let people live….
Kikiki…”Keeping up appreances…Mrs. Bucket”. Mwila needs to realise that MPs are busy serving the people that elected them. Going to visit Mundubile and Zulu server no real purpose to the electorate and the individuals politically. If the MPs perform well. They will be retained by voters and the Party. Showing up and ticking the register. Who does that serve? The two will still be in the cooler. Spend the night there. Eat the same food….
They are scared of getting arrested or getting shot.
