We shall not look bad over the consequences of the PFs bad decisions – Mweetwa

Lusaka – 27/06/22

THOSE who are saying we should stop referring to PF it’s like asking people to stop talking about the devil when the devil is busy tempting people to join his kingdom of hell, Cornelius Mweetwa has said.

Addressing the media at the party secretariat in Lusaka on Friday, the UPND spokesperson said people should not ask the ruling party to stop talking about the opposition PF.

Mweetwa said this following remarks by PF media director Antonio Mwanza who charged that UPND has failed to govern and has instead continued to blame everything on PF.

Mweetwa, who is also Southern Province minister, castigated Mwanza saying he has no credibility to be the one to say the UPND has failed because he cannot be trusted.

He said Mwanza was amongst the people who championed the PF propaganda, made the party unpopular and be rejected by the Zambians.

“And let me make this clear and categorical. Those who are saying we should stop referring to PF is like asking people to stop talking about the devil when the devil is busy tempting people to join his kingdom of hell. So when the devil stops tempting the people, who will talk about the devil? PF should stop talking the way they are talking,” Mweetwa said. “They must be humble enough to realise that they have been rejected by the people after 10 years of governance and economic mismanagement leading to the kind of degradation we are witnessing the consequences of now. So for as long as the effects of the decisions and actions that they took when they were in office continue to manifest, and affect the people of this country, we shall remind the people that this equation of cause….effect relationship, the PF has a role to play. So stop asking us to stop talking about PF.”

He said the UPND would stop talking about PF when the opposition party stops talking about the ruling party.

“…wanting us to look bad for the consequences of their bad decisions…when they leave mess, they should give us time to sweep the mess they have left in this country so that we can make progress,” Mweetwa said.

He said people who brutalised citizens should not be allowed to shout as if they are saints.

Mweetwa added that PF needed to repent.
