Africa-Press – Zambia. Unless one is woven from natural fabric of hatred politics, it’s rude not to greet a fellow MP be it from another party and more so if a Minister. I walked to his seat and greeted the Hon Minister of Local Government & Rural Development Hon Garry Nkombo at the Ncwala ceremony in Chipata over the weekend. He is not only in charge of the Chiefs division or traditional ceremonies but also in charge of every MP and their voters’ business called CDF. So only a foolish MP would ignore or belittle his presence.
This line of thought is however not so with a few of my PF rivals and mostly some (some) former Ministers evidently still in denial of their unfortunate circumstances if not fortunate to some. They went to town taunting me on my pic insert greeting the Minister captioning it ‘receiving further instructions’.
I guess because they can’t pick me on corruption or abuse of public resources or public offices, they and their few remaining violent cadre supporters like to decampaign my candidature for PF president by accusing me of being sponsored by the UPND. This always comes up each time I apply for any internal PF primary leadership contest but they failed to bring it up when I was stabbed trying to defend the PF Presidential vote in the August 2021 general elections.
As God may have it, within hours of me taking the pic with Hon Nkombo, other PF MPs elsewhere had or were greeting in a similar fashion others that are in top UPND and government leadership. In the pic one of the PF MPs is greeting President HH and listening attentively while another is doing the the same to the Minister of Green Economy Hon Collins Njovwu.
I have a FUNSO (question) to the few former Ministers and their few supporter against my candidature; by your own reasoning, is it true that the other two PF MPs in the attacched pics were also ‘receiving further instructions’ ? You may take your good time before responding if ever.
