Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>ZAMBIANS ARE NOT STUPID \u2026 they are seeing regionalised appointments, says Kabimba State Counsel Wynter Kabimba says Zambians are not stupid and are seeing the regionalised appointments into government positions.<\/p>\n

But former Foreign Affairs permanent secretary George Zulu says there could be more diplomatic recall rescissions covering people from all the regions, saying the permanent secretaries in Foreign Affairs should speak out to stop and impression being created against the government.<\/p>\n

Commenting on Chishimba Kambwili\u2019s challenge to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to come clean over assertions that some diplomatic rescissions of the over 100 diplomats recalled by President Hakainde Hichilema, were being done with regional considerations, Kabimba said there was no chance that President Hakainde Hichilema would have won the presidency if Zambians had decided to vote on tribal lines, \u201cbut he is now using the presidency to show them his true colours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kabimba said the pattern of the names disclosed to the public so far of the people whose recalls had been rescinded \u201cflies in the face\u201d of the President\u2019s claim to unite the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have a situation like that and you are dealing with one or two cases then you can say there are exceptions,\u201d said Kabimba, commenting on the recall of Friday Nyambe as Ambassador from the DRC to be appointed as Intelligence chief, including the reported rescissions of recalls on the Litunga\u2019s son, Brian, deputy Ambassador to Russia Imasiku Mutangelwa, former vice-president Inonge Wina\u2019s son in law and press secretary to Ethiopia Inutu Mupango Mwanza. \u201cWhen you have a pattern running like that then the conclusion is that this is something which is done by design to achieve a certain objective.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kabimba said this was the same criticism the UPND advanced against the then ruling PF, except that the situation was different now because President Hichilema himself promised that he will make sure appointments into government positions were not regionalised.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s again another lie that has been told to the Zambian people when the UPND says we are here to unite the country, and they are making regional or tribalised appointments. Is that uniting the country? That is disuniting the country,\u201d Kabimba in comments to Daily Revelation said. \u201cHe is proving to be just like what we saw in PF, if not worse because this is happening in hardly four months into his presidency.\u201d Kabimba said Zambians were yet to see what would happen in the next five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut you see the Zambian people are not stupid. They are not fools. They are able to see and they will be able to understand this hypocrisy and this betrayal by the UPND,\u201d Kabimba said. \u201cBecause even when you look at the voting pattern in 2021 general elections, the people that actually raised the flag of One Zambia One Nation are not from HH\u2019s region. They were from other regions. HH at presidential level was able to do better than ECL, or he got very close to ECL in constituencies and districts where if people decided to vote on tribal lines, he would have lost this election again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kabimba said Zambians voted in the manner they voted because they were looking for somebody who was promising them redemption and unity, and they believed in the President\u2019s promises.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter they gave him the power he is using that power now to prove to them that his slogan of One Zambia One Nation is just on paper and he doesn\u2019t mean it. And now that he got the power he is going to show them\u2026 https:\/\/dailyrevelationzambia.com\/2533-2\/<\/p>\n
