Dear Chawama Family, Friends and Fellow Zambians,
Firstly, let me thank all of you for your prayers, kind words and messages, I am truly grateful as a first-time mum – I feel I still have much to learn and I look forward to the tips and advice you kindly share so please be patient with me. This period is truly a time of blessing for Patrick and me, despite the health challenges. God has truly blessed us and I pray he touches other Zambian families as he has ours.
I have always co-operated with the DEC and its officers and continue to do so, they often operate in a challenging environment and they face immense pressure from many quarters. My lawyers have been excellent and very professional in their work in this regard. I was therefore surprised and deeply disappointed to learn through social media of a press briefing that the DEC held on December 24th and its content.
I am currently away on medical leave, and had sought permission in writing from Parliament where I serve in the House as MP for our constituency Chawama. I am not permitted by law to discuss matters before the court. I am a firm believer in the Rule of Law, fairness for all before the law but I like many Zambians have now become deeply concerned by the partial manner justice is seemingly being applied. This situation erodes public confidence and trust in our judicial system and even the electoral process – we expect the ECZ to instill this confidence.
The situation in Zambia currently and indeed for the future is deeply worrying. As a Lawmaker, I would not wish for Zambians to completely lose confidence in the arms of Government (the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature) and we should continue to emphasize the importance of upholding the separation of powers because “mingalato” damages public confidence in these institutions. Mingalato also leads to a waste of public resources, valuable time and effort that should be focused on national development and deprives citizens of truly engaging fully in the democratic process. Zambians do not wish to return to a One Party State style of governance.
In addition, as you may be aware, Parliament is currently on recess. I will be available to my constituents as Parliament opens. Many of you have been able to reach me through my work line via the internet calls and messages, and it’s wonderful to hear from you – I miss you all. In case I am urgently needed, Chawama Family please continue to use the same line. Otherwise I will be seeing you as Parliament opens as we have much work to do for our constituency in the months ahead.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families from my small family! May God bless you all.
Tasila Lungu Mwansa
Hahahahaha!
No need for imingalato for sure.
Vote with your stomachs.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Am PF but siding with Cheap boy with foolish reasoning like you Indigo Tyrol your mentality is something else atase. you seem to be in the same group with Satan…
Thank you, and you have my profound respect by point this out. Individuals like Indigo, Monze Secondary, Tikki (on Lusaka Times) just display a weird and misguided notion of what understanding issues is. Oblivious to learning and growtg they think being obnoxious is sauve. But display what sort of environment raised them, a sad situation. We can never be right all the time. But to grow, you have to learn.
What you have said is beyond his comprehension
Tasila for the DEC to say what they did. Its because notices were served on you, through your lawyer. Your lawyer through your parents/father should let you know.
Ignoring them(DEC) is what has led them to use the tone they have used. A sense of arrogance and entitlement that you display. Parliament and and your constituency have not suggested that you have been in communication. You serve there not as a private indivdual where privacy would prevail. Suggestions of awol have been made and a declaration of you seat be vacant have been on the lips of Zambians for a while, as you have failed to communicate. Maternity leave at law is 90days. How long have you been away? Today is when you have decided to speak up. That I reiterate is being arrogant as a public offical who offered yourself a service to the electorate.
Reading the tea leaves, what is going on with your “old man” has shown that the walls are closing in on you. From Mukula to that farm you abused your position and wanted to create a legacy rule of this nation. You guys are far from humble, using that quiet nature to self serve. Mingalato is not a word you can use in this circumstance. Show some remorse. You are a mother who should set the tone for that young child. Your lawyer acts only on the instructions he/she recieves from you. To DEC and what they suggest. You have offered none. Remember to get respect, you have to be respectful.
Very good advice indeed. In addition, she has not explained how mingalato come into play in this situation.
Just quicken your steps back home Madam, back home here, your country is in the “By-Election Season and Fever”, any further delay on yowa part, Chawama will join the Queue. Wish you quick and full recovery, we love you.
Tasila we are with you all the way great leader.
Is Mingalato an English want.
What does it mean please
It means dribbling (political dribbling in the political arena)
Tasila we know that you and your Dud are masters of imingalato. Imingalato has become part of your life and what you’re doing here is imingalato. You know as an accused it’s upon you to respond to queries. And if you don’t advise your lawyers what do you expect from DEC? Let’s be straight forward here! What you did on the USA government is imingalato! Period! You knew you were very pregnant and within 2 to 3 months of giving birth and decided to fly to USA so your son or child could become a USA citizen by virtue of birth and you come here telling us rubbish. It’s the same reason you have delayed coming back. Now what is this? This is imingalato and we can see through it. Now just shut up if you have nothing
to sat.
Tasila, there is no partial manner the law is being applied. Your long absence from Zambia is like you are a fugitive from justice, like Chilufya Tayali and JJ Banda. There are medical facilities here in Zambia where you represent people in Parliament. Come back and explain your acquired wealth. And please do not tell us that it was from your father. Mr. Lungu is not a rich man and his salary as President is in the public domain. So, let the law take its course.
Tasila you are not going to lecture us on the independence of the tree arms of our Government. This is no time to play around. You simply have to come back and represent you people in Chawama and explain how you acquired that enormous wealth that many can only wish. On a light note, are you aware that most of us care less about strides you’ve made in life, but the ill gotten wealth from us. Any attempt to evade accountability will be stopped immediately and that we mean business.
The one true mark, the distinguishing feature of a leader is taking responsibility.
The only one who performed mingalato on Tasila is herself. When she ventured to steal from the Zambian people. The law is merely taking it’s assigned course – there is nothing personal. There are people who are stupid enough to expect HH to sweep their crimes under the carpet. This won’t happen. Lungu even gave shelter to now convicted murderers. Sorry, there is a new sheriff in town. You are on your own. Twisting the narrative will not stop the law from performing it’s duty.
Stop giving BS excuses that you are on sick leave.
Come back and face the DEC and be ready for prison time. You are as corrupt as your father. Time to give back the money you have stolen back to Zambia
Just come pantu DEC issues a warning now u start being heard and writing ma writeups. Continue dilly dalling your seat will be declared vacant
We are burying you in Chawama the way we did in 2021 thanks to the stolen votes that you stashed. We shall see how you’ll get bail or bond when you arrive. After you’re convicted for straight forward theft cases that you have is when we gonna those tu ma rabbit teeth of yours. Criminal!
Arrogance, entitlement, cheek, deception, taking the population for fools…. I want you to answer as a citizen.
