IT WOULD BE INSENSITIVE TO PICK A LEADER BEFORE ECL IS BURIED – NAKACHINDA
PF faction Secretary General Raphael Nakacinda says it would be insensitive for the party to hold a convention before the burial of former president Edgar Lungu. Speaking on Diamond TV, Wednesday, Nakacinda said while the party desired to hold the conference as soon as possible, they did not want to be reckless.
“Culturally, even when we have not been able to discuss the fact that we are mourning, you don’t expect us as Patriotic Front to just move on when we have lost our leader, the sixth republican president, who we have not even put to rest.
Unless you are so insensitive and callous that you can just move on because there’s a quest to have a new leader.

EVEN IF IT WILL TAKE ONE YEAR, THAT IS BACKWARD THINKING, LIFE GOES ON, THE DEAD CAN NOT HOLD THE WHEELS OF LIFE UNLESS THE LIVING ARE PRETENDING TO BE DEAD AS WELL. ANY WHERE LET THE DEAD PF BE BURRIED WITH THE DEAD.
Truly Mr Nakachinda, but necessity knows no law.It is not known when ECL shall be put to rest.We still seem to be in court despite the latest court outcome.Who knows issues of DNA may arise before repatriation and other unforseen circumstances.We are heading for a general election and date is set in the constitution. Your time is deminishing while your members are wasting time on none important matters like disrespecting parliamentary house keeping orders.TONSE is also on hold because of blind faith.Some one is dreaming from exile “when the body of ECL shall come next year”. This shadow boxing you are doing is not helpful.You may even fail to come up with lists of MPs councilors and mayor positions.It is Zambians you are depriving from having leaders.In a democracy it’s important to have checks and balances.You think leadership is only Presidential position? You will end up losing both or all.
But Lubinda is saying you are going to pick the date of convention this weekend.
These two are a problem
I foresee a fight between them very soon. Given id a very short tempered chap.
Please coordinate your statements..and move as one body.
The question is Do you have a Convention before the Late President Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu is put to Rest or not ? Thoroughly Interrogate the issue. Look at the Moral implications, Practicality , and all the factors.
Then arrive at Consensus and move with this common position in all your statements.
It’s admittedly a very difficult situation , but arrive at a position and communicate this to the membership and country at large.
Conflicting statements is sending wrong signals to the people.
Ba Nkuku, it is not a difficult situation. The man is dead. There is a leadership vacuum and nature abhors vacuums. The Miles Sampa lesson has been lost on this PF faction.
Time is ticking away while you are in perpetual mourning. Show some leadership for a change!
