NDC troika driven by hatred

- By ROGERS KALERO

HATRED for President Edgar Lungu is the only common factor that has brought together former Vice-President Guy Scott, Roan Member of Parliament Chishimba Kambwili and former PF Chimwemwe MP Mwenya Musenge, PF Copperbelt provincial chairman Stephen Kainga has said.

Mr Kainga said the three former PF leaders have teamed up in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) because they all have a common interest of fighting President Lungu whom they hate so much as evidenced by the unpalatabl­e and insulting language they have been showering on him Mr Kainga was commenting on the decision by Dr Scott to dump the UPND for the NDC which is led by “John the Baptist” Mwenya Musenge who is paving the way for the “Messiah,” Chishimba Kambwili. Mr Kainga said the hatred and bitterness that the three former PF leaders have shown against President Lungu through their language was disappoint­ing and also a clear indication of their failure to handle frustratio­n. “Guy Scott has never liked President Lungu from the beginning in 2015 when he was elected to stand as PF presidenti­al candidate in the byelection, just like Mr Kambwili, he has never liked President Lungu. For Mr Musenge, he was frustrated after losing the Chimwemwe seat to an independen­t candidate. “So the three are being driven by the hatred they have for President Lungu. So hatred for President Lungu is the only common factor that has brought the three former PF leaders together. “They have teamed up in the NDC party because they all have a common interest of fighting President Lungu whom they hate so much as evidenced by the bitter language they have been using against him,” Mr Kainga said.
