PF ministers succeeded because Lungu chose on merit – Mundubile
MPOROKOSO member of parliament Brian Mundubile has credited former president Edgar Lungu’s leadership and strategic approach to ministerial appointments as the reason behind the PF government’s ‘successful’ performance during its tenure.
Speaking to Hot FM this morning during a radio programme, Mundubile said president Lungu’s decision to appoint ministers based on merit rather than political convenience, laid the foundation for a results-driven administration.
“PF ministers succeeded because President Lungu chose on merit, he took his time in selecting his team and believed that those he appointed would perform in their areas of responsibility,” stated Mundubile.
He explained that Lungu’s leadership style gave ministers the freedom to think independently, introduce new ideas and execute their duties without unnecessary interference.
“He gave us room to work, to bring in fresh ideas, and because of that, we were able to deliver. He believed in us, and that motivated us to perform.”
The Mporokoso lawmaker also commended Lungu for promoting fairness and reconciliation within government, saying those values created a strong, collaborative working environment.
“He believed in fairness, reconciliation, and above all, hard work. That created the environment we needed to succeed.”
He further described Lungu as a unique kind of leader, noting that what set him apart was his quiet confidence and ability to empower those around him.
Meanwhile, Mundubile appealed to President Hakainde Hichilema to show compassion and allow the family of the late former president Edgar Lungu to proceed with his burial, saying the delay has taken an emotional toll on those closest to him.
“[President Hichilema] must reconsider his position and allow the family to do what they believe is best for them,” added Mundubile.
It’s been over four months since Lungu died in South Africa but his body is yet to be buried due to the family’s instance of giving the former head of state a private burial while Government wants a State Burial as a befitting honour.
Talks between the Government and the family have been ongoing with near conclusions, court resolutions and appeals…https://kalemba.news/politics/pf-ministers-succeeded-because-lungu-chose-on-merit-mundubile/

It’s shameful to say the least. Do you mean ubomba mwibala alya mwibala? It’s laughable how you guys overrate yourselves. Thieves will remain thieves no matter what you say. Nobody believes in pf anymore. You are flogging a dead horse bwana. Pf is bound to total obliteration come 2026 you will remember this.
They were successful in stealing and lawlessness nothing else
PF Guys are very shameless and will never ever learn. They are not even good for opposition
There was merit in choosing Lusambo or Chitotela? Mundubile be serious with your outbursts.
100% PF criminals you were good in killing people like Nsama Nsama, kasongo, matapa, Kaunda, Lawrence, mapezi, mugala and vasper plus promoting tribalism, nepotism, favoritism, caderism, thuggerism, corruption and kamugodi
Mundubile spare us the nonsense please. You succeeded where?
Yes,most of Lungu appointees are now in prisons and some are yet to go in except one who posted himself masturbating on social media and two who skipped the courts
Even the wanking porn star was appointed on merit. Kikikikikikiki. We have to redefine merit in this case.
Where did this one study law? We need to whip his lectures for producing a such a useless thinker as a lawyer
Ministers like Bowman… You are insulting us te?
Merit? really? You have a minister stopping a public bus, hey you you have no mask, get out of the bus! That’s meritorious performance according to Mr. Mundubile, utter thuggery. A minister chosen on merit would be carrying face masks, and hey you have no mask,? Here is one. Mr. Lungu himself had no merit in him, retiring innocent people in his interest, mistaken as national interest, “a Tonga can be president not this one”. Surely a person who occupies the presidency should know that according to the constitution (which he is expected to know) any tribe can be president. I can go no and on. “When you are out of power you feel useless”, that is Mr. Lungu, unaware that someone who has been president is a vast resource even across national borders. PF can forget easily how merit was lacking in their system.
Chikala lungu appointed on merits based on how much Jameson he had drank.
Rotting Lungu had the intelligence less than the baboon’s I have.
Brian, do us a favour and STFU
You ba Kazolo without shame are insulting us today when deep down their hearts know that they messed up the economy.We had a grouping of thieves as Ministers.They want to come back and steal more these people.They are very greedy characters.Mundubila your companies are closing down cause there are no more tenders you used to give yourselves without doing any job.Sad.Next go farming you are now old
The stealing, thuggish behaviour, economy growing in negatives, exchange rate picked from 5 to 24; debt picked from 1.5b to 14.5b dollars; mealie meal from 50 to 250; hIV medicines being shared and beaten at the polls by 1 m, does that defines success? This man should even his hair cut to thunk straight!
He can never be present with this kind of reasoning. They never learn. City Council was losing 100,000 per day as Muchima was building mansions, they were playing golf or burning money as Zambians were suffering….Not in Zambia, we are all sharp now, go and cheat others, your kind perhaps- fellow cadres
THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS INSIST THAT WEED WAS APPROVED FOR MEDICINAL USE ONLY. MERIT? LOOK AT LUSAMBO, KAMPYONGO, ETC AND YOU CALL THAT MERIT.
