FORMER presidential photographer and diplomat, Chellah Tukuta says there are people, whom he termed as sons of the devil who are trying to scandalize Special Assistant and advisor to the president on investment and Finance, Mr. JITO Kayumba.
In a Facebook post, the renowned photographer said it was only lazy people who hated to see hardworking and passionate people like Mr. Kayumba.
He has, however, made a bold assurance that scandalizing Mr. Kayumba won’t be a successful venture for the perpetuators because president Hakainde Hichilema knows all of his people around him very well.
“Jito is [just] a very good and hardworking human I know, and I have seen people trying to scandalize him but they won’t manage because HH knows all of us very well.”
“Lazy people hate to see hardworkers who are just passionate about their jobs.”
There has been growing debate among UPND netizens to have Mr. Kayumba poised to succeed the incumbent president in 2031, at the end of his tenure of office, the latest one being from George N. Mtonga, a UPND member and resident of the United States, who ignited the debate within political circles and publicly endorsed Jito Kayumba as a potential successor to President Hakainde Hichilema as UPND president.
Mr. Mtonga argued that the party must begin early discussions on post-HH leadership to inorder to avoid confusion and disorganization ahead of the 2031 elections. According to him, Kayumba represents a generational transfer of vision and continuity within the ruling party.
