UNITED KWACHA ALLIANCE (UKA) STATEMENT ON THE NULLIFICATION OF NINE PF SEATS IN PARLIAMENT
04/07/2024
The declaration of nine (9) seats for the Members of Parliament belonging to the PF party is a reckless and irresponsible conduct by everybody involved in this seemingly misplaced UPND project to dismantle the former ruling party.
Currently, our Country needs revitalised efficient and effective strategies in our education and health systems to produce generations of well-trained, healthy and competitive human capital and an upper middle class citizenly. That is where our priorities in terms of expenditure should be going, not senseless bye-elections.
It is disheartening to note that for almost three years in government, the UPND has continued to be so wasteful with meager public resources. The creation of unnecessary expenditure such as the currently declared bye-elections is testament of the UPND’s uncaring attitude towards our people in the dispensation of governance.
The Hakainde led government’s insensitivity and its over estimated and pure ignorant view on the state’s carrying capacity has been a source of worry for a long time. Clearly this is a danger to state security and to the well being of our future generations.
As UKA, we wish to urge our voting citizens to appropriately express discontent with this kind of irresponsibility by a wasteful and uncaring government, the legitimacy of which, has not been earned through respect and fulfilling of the terms of the social contract which terms are abrogated on a daily basis.
As Zambians of all walks of life, we need to stand together and reclaim the mandate genuinely given by the Zambian citizens on the 12th August 2021 in the hope for a better Zambia.

The person who mislead PF to have no convention and ultimately caused these MPs to get removed is the one financing UKWA.
So we don’t expect any honest assessment of the situation from that quarter. It’s called conflict of interests.
It is sad and alarming when internal issues within the party are blamed on outsiders instead of being bold to take responsibility for the mess memebers within have done to the party.
In any case if an outsider can easily dismantle a supposedly strong and intact grouping from the outside , it is even more serious because it is evidence of weak leadership.
We need you to weather the storms as a united front and overcome. This is not the time for weakness. You guys are the biggest opposition party.
Whose hand sanctioned these by elections? Is it not your members who pulled a fast one on you all. And why did they do so? Even now you guys have embraced the very guy who caused this mess in the first place.
It is clear you are not united and hence are spending time fighting wach other instead of building the nation. At this rate you will surely self destruct. No one is to balme apart from yourselves. A house or group that is not united can not survive the storms that come to every group at various times. Check the records.
Therefore while you point your finger on outsiders the remaining three are pointing right back at you. If you believe in numbers the three fingers indicate who the real problem makers are. You guys.
