I’M DISAPPOINTED WITH HH’s LEADERSHIP – SHAMENDA
27th May 2026
FORMER Labour minister Fackson Shamenda says despite working hard to support President Hakainde Hichilema in 2021, he is disappointed with how he has exercised his leadership.
He laments that due to President Hichilema’s leadership, even people who should not be anywhere near power are now being encouraged to believe they are better, which he describes as very sad.
In a recent interview, Shamenda said government has allowed impunity to thrive, creating a situation where people now miss the PF. “It is very sad that what our colleagues were condemning when they were in the opposition and everybody supported them, including some of us.

What are the facts and details of the purported dissapointment? Maybe the oldman expected an appointment to some board as reward for support?!
Shamenda should shut up, i don’t want to remember pf, it really brings sad violent memories, misrule, wasteful administration etc…please Shamenda go away
Ba Mudala, mwalipwa imwe, ikaleni fye. Are you telling us that if Hakainde’s leadership hasn’t impressed you as an individual, then HH has underperformed? No, that’s not how democracy works. In democracy, one can be unhappy or disappointed, it’s normal as long as two third majority is happy. PF was the worst government this country have ever had and Hakainde’s leadership cannot be compared to ECL where caderism dominated the leadership. You were a Minister yourself, whom can you say was happy with your PF leadership? If you are disappointed with Hakainde’s leadership, we were more disappointed with ECL’s leadership and we don’t even want to think or talk about. We can’t make a mistake of voting it back.
Trying very hard to be noticed on the political land scape is not going to help bakalamba. Learn to retire quietly than to force people to remind you that your time finished long time ago and that you belong to the political scrap yard.
