Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>We have noted a statement issued by Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations, Mr. Anthony Bwalya vainly trying to distance State House and the President from what transpired this afternoon at the ncwala ceremony.<\/p>\n

His statement is a disservice to the president, the upnd and the nation at large. We do not expect a presidential aide to resort to lies when the presidency has been put in bad light by its officers.<\/p>\n

Anthony Bwalya must know that the job of any Presidential Aide is to tell the President the truth, no matter how bad it is. By definition, aides are there to help the President communicate and do correct things; it is a huge disservice for an aide to try to sugarcoat reality and deliberately mislead or misrepresent the President.<\/p>\n

In his usual casual manner, Bwalya was quick to issue a statement to defend the President without gathering facts of what exactly transpired at the Ncwala ceremony. What happened yesterday was a disgrace and a stain on the Presidency and instead of trying to cover up the debacle, Bwalya would have done himself and the Presidency a lot of good if he took time to verify the facts before issuing his uncoordinated statement. Maybe the Security was abusing the name of the President by pretending to be acting in his name.<\/p>\n

In order to help our brother, here is the chronological way of what exactly happened to the PF Acting President, Hon. Given Lubinda at the Ncwala ceremony:<\/p>\n

If Anthony has any doubts still lingering in his mind, we will gladly provide witness accounts of the incident including the said superintendent Mwanza and Mr Noel Nkhoma.<\/p>\n

My brother, let us help the President and the country by telling the truth. Lies can never build a nation. If the President was misrepresented by the security officer it was better for his superiors to reprimand him instead of Anthony trying to cover up facts with unsubstantiated claims.<\/p>\n
