Dear Beloved President, Your Excellency, Dr. (Hon) Hakainde Hichilema
REF: DEEPLY CONCERNED,
With reference to the caption above, the UPND USA/Canada Chapter is deeply concerned and saddened by the appointment of former Ambassador Lazarus Kapambwe as your Special Envoy at State House.
This appointment comes not long after we learnt of the appointment of Father Frank Bwalya to the National Presidential Support Program–a man who vehemently demonized
you and the UPND not long ago.
Sir, uring the time that Ambassador Kapambwe served as Zambian Ambassador to the United States in Washington DC, he worked and fought hard to annihilate any of our community efforts to make you president.
In fact, he did not want anything to do with anyone who associated with you and the UPND ideologies, despite him having been a servant of all Zambians living in the
United States.
In all sincerity, this appointment stings and leaves us wondering is it that the entire UPND lacks the expertise that Ambassador Kapambwe brings?
We understand that you are a level-headed and loving president for all Zambians, we also have no wish to see you lose power after one term in office it is unsustainable for our country.
This appointment, among other recent moves by the government, put us as a party in a very tight and conflicted position to sell and market your name.
Ambassador Kapambwe’s loyalty does not lie
with you, and his interests are not for the good of our country, it is just a matter of time before he bites.
Our humble appeal to you, sir, is that Ambassador Kapambwe be excused from his appointment as Special Envoy to your presidency.
Our Chapter will be grateful if this humble request is honored.
Praise singers, go to school. Don’t just object to appointments. You are own you own.
I don’t about Mr. Kapambwe, but the appointment of Mr. Frank Bwalya left me stunned.
Such spineless, unprincipled individuals should be consigned to the dustbin regardless of their abilities.
When you are good, you are good and the world notices. Are the complainants also career diplomats?
Amb Kapambwe is a distinguished diplomat& please forgo the tribalism imwe ba praise singers. Isn’t Amb Kapambwe a Zambian?
Which tribalism are you talking about? It shouldn’t always be the same individuals being appointed to higher positions from UNIP Era to date.
All former traitors ate now being given appointments even having special non existent offices created for them just to ensure they get appointed while loyal hardworking members who suffered for the party for 20 years are not even considered. This is going to be the downfall of upnd.
