Nsengas warn ‘bitter’ Panji Kaunda

- By KETRA KALUNGA

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) member, Colonel Panji Kaunda has been urged to tone down on the unfounded allegation­s against Tasila Lungu, failure to which he will be opening a Pandora box.

Nsenga Cultural Associatio­n chairperso­n, Moses Lungu, said if Col. Kaunda does not restrain himself from attacking President Lungu’s daughter, the associatio­n would unleash missiles on him.

Col. Panji has asked the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to investigat­e the source of Tasila’s K2 million she paid for a 600-hectare farm in Eastern province.

But Reverend Lungu said the associatio­n would not take lightly the disparagin­g remarks and unfounded allegation­s from Panji Kaunda against the daughter to the Head of State because he was putting the people of Eastern province in a bad light.

“Panji should not destroy the people of Eastern province over unfounded allegation­s for political mileage, as an associatio­n we are wondering. It's uncultured for him as a parent to conduct himself in the manner he is conducting himself, we urged him to be very reasonable”, he said.

Rev Lungu, who is also Evangelica­l Youth Alliance president, said yesterday in an interview that in the same way the people respected the first Republican President, Kenneth Kaunda and his fam

Colonel Panji Kaunda ily, was the way Panji Kaunda should respect the current Head of State and his family.

“In all fairness, Panji Kaunda should be the last to comment anything on Tasila because when his father was the Head of State no one would dare government in those days, now the Bible teaches that do unto to others as you would want them to do onto you.

He advised Panji Kaunda not to be so bitter about the lifestyle of Tasila if he himself abused his opportunit­ies as the son to the first Republican President through a reckless lifestyle.

Rev Lungu stated that Tasila had just taken advantage of being the daughter of the President by putting resources together and opportunit­ies that come with it to good use.

He said by virtue of being the daughter of the President, Tasila was sitting at opportunit­ies where people could freely do business with her and gesture her with all sorts of gifts with no one stopping them from doing so.
