Zambians can see through desperate schemes, says Stephen Kampyongo

- By NAMO PHIRI

SCHEMES by the UPND Alliance and its cronies to tarnish the image of the country through lies will hit a snag because Zambians can see through their desperatio­n for power, PF member of the central committee Stephen Kampyongo has said.

Mr. Kampyongo cautioned Zambians to watch out for power hungry politician­s.

He was reacting to claims by UPND Alliance partner, Ernest Mwansa that PF is a brutal dictatorsh­ip clinging to power.

Mr Kampyongo however said propaganda by “rejected” politician­s would not work.

“PF is a political party which was formed by a senior accomplish­ed politician, the late Mr. Michael Chilufya Sata, when it was formed it took over from the MMD government democratic­ally and the only way PF can stay in power is through the people of Zambia,” said Mr Kampyongo.

He said in an interview that Dr Mwansa knows very well how the PF has grown incredibly through democracy and through the increasing number of representa­tives from the people.

“He should focus on his new party UPND which the people of Zambia have rejected more than five times. Today he can’t claim that the PF is a brutal dictatorsh­ip trying to cling on to power.

“This team is trying to create an environmen­t where they can justify a wrong, we know what they are scheming, they are busy lying everyday

about their presidenti­al candidate being shot at,” said Mr Kampyongo.

Mr Kampyongo said the UPND was trying to discredit institutio­ns of governance including the Electoral Commission of Zambia but Zambians were very intelligen­t people and know what the PF government had achieved.
