If Mweetwa is not adopted on UPND ticket, CF might consider looking at his CV – Kalaba
OPPOSITION Citizens First (CF) president Harry Kalaba says his party could consider looking at chief government spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa’s curriculum vitae (CV) if the ruling UPND fails to adopt him as its candidate in Choma this year.
Speaking when he appeared on Diamond TV, he responded to comments recently made by Mweetwa, who described Kalaba as a “baby in politics” needing lollipops for the festive season.
“This is coming from a man who has clearly lost touch with the political realities on the ground,” Kalaba said.
“For us in the CF, if Mr. Mweetwa is not adopted in the UPND in Choma, we might have to look at his CV. The earlier he does that, the better for everyone.”
The remarks follow a heated exchange between the two politicians, with Kalaba accusing Mweetwa of focusing more on personal publicity than serious political engagement.
According to Kalaba, Mweetwa’s attention to petty political squabbles has left him vulnerable and has opened space for others to challenge his parliamentary position.
Kalaba said the Information and Media Minister’s current political situation in Choma should serve as a wake-up call to take stock of his career and make the necessary decisions for his future.
“This is his last term and he should understand where he stands. If he is not adopted, he must consider what comes next,” Kalaba said.

Kalaba will never stop dreaming
This office orderly also !
Kalaba has really no nothing to offer.
Conelius Mweetwa is a fully qualified
Teacher and Lawyer, graduated from the
UNZA and a fully fledged and qualified Police Officer with the
rank of Deputy Commissioner. Politics is not his only
life line as in the case of you little Harry Kalaba.
After being in the registry as an office orderly, and later being appointed as Minister, Kalaba does not have anything else to fall back on.
The chap failed from a catholic school and can only be a jobs clerk.
Completely no future outside politics this kalaba guy.
Thats why Mweetwa calls you cheap and low lifer kalaba.
Debate issues because mweetwa will is well above you in terms of personalities. Mweetwa doesnt need politics for living. He is
in only for service and will soon move on to other things, better than politics.Where would kalaba ever go to awhen he has no other skills nor qualifications, Zero
