PARTIES FREE TO LEAVE UKA – SAKI
UNITED Kwacha Alliance (UKA) chairperson Sakwiba Sikota says political parties which do not like what is happening in the alliance are free to leave.
Mr Sikota, who is United Liberal Party (ULP) president, also says while he has the name of who should lead UKA as president, disclosing such now will be prejudice.
There have been unconfirmed reports recently that UKA, a grouping of some opposition political parties, is on the brink of disintegration.
“Being a member of UKA is voluntary,” he said during an appearance on Prime Television programme Oxygen of Democracy on Monday night.
“It’s not that once you come to UKA, we handcuff you to a chair and you can never leave. Anybody [or] any of the parties in UKA who feel that maybe they don’t like what is happening in UKA, they can leave. No problem.”
The only problematic persons in this grouping are Silavwe and Saboi. They can be good politicians once they exercice patience and patriotism. Unfortunately they want to be making headlines at every given opportunity.
You see, the two people you have referred to have found themselves playing what they think are important roles in the big league. They belong to one man/woman parties and now they are big players. Well, the truth of the matter is that UKA is going nowhere. The PF faction want Alebwelelapo to be Presidential candidate, but under which party?
I am surprised no one is blaming HH and UPND for the emerging chaos in UKWA.
Ba Lungu na PF minwe ya bubenshi. Ico baikatako ku fungauka (Mr. Lungu and PF are like termites. Whatever they touch crumbles).
Yes as soon as they realize that lungu whom they are banking on for crumbs is broke then they will start leaving one by one.
