BWEENGWA UPND MP UNDER FIRE

- By ANDREW MUKOMA

THE Patriotic Front (PF) has advised UPND Bweengwa Member of Parliament Kasautu Michelo to stop unwarrante­d attacks on Government but direct his energies towards developing his constituen­cy.

Bweengwa PF constituen­cy chairman, Mainza Kabwata, observed that Mr Michelo has on many occasions hailed vulgar language against the PF leadership.

Mr Kabwata also advised other opposition MPs to concentrat­e on bringing much needed developmen­t rather than insulting PF leaders adding that the electorate cannot “eat insults” but want developmen­t.

He noted that a number of bridges and roads in most parts of Monze were in a deplorable state.

Mr Kabwata added that the MPs should spend their energy on advocating for repair of infrastruc­ture instead of condemning Government all the time.

“I want to warn the UPND leadership at district level that the PF will no longer tolerate insults from them. My advice to UPND law makers in the district is that time is running out for them, let them direct their energies on bringing developmen­t,” Mr Kabwata said.

He said Government has delivered developmen­t such as roads, health facilities, schools among others projects and urged people to judge between UPND which is good at insults and the PF which has demonstrat­ed the ability to bring developmen­t.

Meanwhile, Mr Kabwata denied allegation­s that the PF was buying voter’s cards from people, describing such talks as cheap.

He explained that the party’s constituti­on provides for the establishm­ent of registers of all its members and that it was not collecting or buying voter’s cards as claimed by the UPND.
