M’MEMBE DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM ANY CLAIMS OF ALLIANCE TALKS, BUT NAKACHINDA SAYS PF IS OPEN TO TALKS
Socialist Party President Dr. Fred M’membe has distanced himself and his party from possible alliance talks with any PF faction saying he has never met anyone from the former ruling party to discuss working together.
In a telephone call to KBN TV, Dr. M’membe was reacting to yesterday’s news story about the anticipated People’s Pact to be launched soon in which is party has been named to be among those proposing working together.
Dr. M’membe claims that the only invitation he got was from now incarcerated senior PF member, Nixon Chilangwa saying he has never responded to that message to date.
“I have never met ECL, I have never met Lubinda and I have never met Nakachinda or anyone from PF to discuss an alliance,” said Dr. M’membe.
Dr. M’membe’s position sharply differs with PF faction Secretary General, Raphael Nakachinda, who last week confirmed that his party was in talks with the Socialist Party.
Meanwhile, Dr. M’membe has accused KBN TV of supporting the candidature of Harry Kalaba even though it’s a known fact that the UKA Chairperson is State Counsel Sakwiba Sikota.
“I’m a journalist myself, if you write about me to malign me, I will also use other media platforms to defend myself and I will also start writing about you that you are conflicted in this matter, it’s very clear that you support Harry Kalaba,” he said.
In response to the accusation, KBN TV CEO Pastor Kennedy Mambwe told Dr. M’membe that the media house supports the democratic ideals of Zambia and considers UKA as a good thing for our nation but doesn’t support any particular individual in the said alliance.
Later during a conference call between the KBN TV CEO and PF Secretary General Raphael, Dr. M’membe told Mr. Nakachinda that he had only visited him in police cells during which visit there was nothing talked about regarding an alliance.
And Mr. Nakachinda reiterated that the PF faction to which he belongs will soon issue a statement that they are open to discussions including talking to the Socialist Party.
Dr. M’membe requested KBN TV to clear the air and put the record straight that his party was not in any alliance talks with the former ruling party.
But you reported in this same paper just the other day that bishop satana is trying to marry you to lungu and now what has changed? Knowing you, your reaction or is it retraction is because you’ve remembered that we all know with you nkhani yaku Matako simu jailika!!!
The opposition in Zambia is extremely weak and even if they made thousand alliances the can’t be compared to UPND.They don’t talk sense half the time.They say 2026 UPND is going but how? That is how we behave in football.We like guessing big goals on predictions yet we don’t have sharp shooters up front.We can’t use Conner kicks to gain goals, we can’t use time to do quick moves and win,we can’t delay time by play slow and protect goals we have already scored.The opposition must tell the people about mistakes they have seen in UPND performance but they spend time talking about electricity and loadshading which every normal person knows the drought situation and we have been “hydroquartic” since pre independence.Trust for rains through and through.When a strange drought falls on us you want to blame a president who has been in power only for three years and you fail to suggest quick alternative.You don’t even render any help to your country in time of calamity.You help materially, physically give food to the affected and spiritually pray for the nation but you just want to be presidents.Be active go to the war front and show the UPND how to do things better.You are just overcrowding in alliances and making several offences of sedicious and getting arrested one by one.You offer tangible solutions which people can appreciate.You must expose the UPND inadequacies not false narratives and misinformation to cause hate or dislike.You fine tune your strategies not fighting each other in courts perpetually.The dogs and cats have forgiven each other now you humans what is wrong with you.You won’t manage to defeat UPND because you are preoccupied with the one thing demonizing an individual.When the day becomes too cold you have an individual to blame and you want people to believe.Even a child will tell you that a coin is valueless.
Great brain and well thought write-up.
You’ve spoken my words.
The massage is clear.
