UPND ministers may be jailed after leaving office – Davies Mwila
FORMER PF secretary general Davies Mwila has prophesied that some UPND ministers will be jailed after leaving office in 2026.
Mwila said some of the ministers were already scared of losing power because they are aware of what awaits them in the future.
“When you are in power in Zambia, you need to face some consequences. UPND doesn’t want to leave office because they are scared they can be jailed. It has been a trend in this country that once you lose power, the people in power start arresting. Others it’s prosecution, others it’s just persecution,” he charged.
The former PF boss also claimed that former Lusaka Province minister Bowman Lusambo’s convictions were all persecutions because according to Mwila, Lusambo had money before he even became a minister.
He expressed confidence that the UPND would also lose power next year the way PF lost in 2021.
“UPND is a one term government because of the failure to fulfill the promises. They have been saying there’s no opposition. No, the opposition is the people. If the Zambian people say kuya bebele, they will go. Looking at how things are right now, they have to pack.”
“The voters have already decided that the UPND is going. All what is remaining is for us to come up with is a better candidate,” he said.
Mwila claimed that the current administration’s performance is the worst since 1991, charging that even the PF did better than UPND.
“UPND performance is the worst since 1991. They have not fulfilled the promises they made. They said they would reduce mealie meal at k50, they said the dollar would come to K10, have they done that? They said fertiliser would come to K250. The fuel in 2021 was cheaper than now,” he said during an interview on Diamond TV last night.

Dream on prophet, after all it’s free!!
Kwena we have time in Zambia to keep people who never should have been anywhere near any institution the time of day.
From showing his “bigotry” and showing us why going to school is important NOT just to get a certificate but learn something. Now he proves this point again.
Imagine if free education was not allowed? We would be subject to this kind of non sense like we live in a market? Ba ZO you only dumb down Zambia by the kind of articles you post.
If you have proof that they committed a crime. Report them to the Police.
A prophet with 6 points has now started hallucinating, ati; the voters have already decided that the UPND is going. All what is remaining is for us to come up with is a better candidate,” A better candidate in terms of what? And which Zambians are those that have already decided that UPND is going? That’s wishful thinking. I am a Zambian myself and my vote is for HH, I can’t vote for confusion as if I were a blind. Which sane voter can vote for PF next year, a party in disarray without a leader, but with three faction presidents? Mwila can continue dreaming until he dreams no more. That’s why you are opposed to a progressive Bill 7 just because you want to bring in your candidate, mwailasha bane. PF has failed to rebrand, it has failed to unite because they no vision, hence no common goal to develop the country apart from ukulya mwibala. So voting for whichever PF faction is simply transferring the confusion from PF to the nation, they will finish the whole next five years in fighting, recklessly borrowing and stealing without doing anything. No dununa reverse this time bane, ni forward chabe. HH has done a lot for this country, Chiefs, Students, Retirees, Farmers, the Old people, Miners, Business men/women, Marketeers etc are all ready to give him another mandate next year, dreamers stand no chance.
These are the people you ba Zambia,very blind and shallow in thinking. He forgot that they left Zambia bankrupt and defaulted to settle the external and internal debt.Is the man normal?I think his sickness is eating his brain,lets forgive him
You have been caught plants down my friend,hence the ad hominem response.
..pants down…, in fragrante delicto!!!
