BOMA FOR COPY & PASTE OF PAST WRONG DEEDS

-

BEING a Mayor in Zambia is a big joke. Regardless of her transgress­ions, the Mayor of Kafue who was duly elected by the people of Kafue has been suspended by the Minister of Local Government and Rural Developmen­t who was equally duly elected by the people of Mazabuka.

As I keep saying, the UPND government­s seems to have been envying all that PF did wrong and they dislike all that the PF did right. They copy and paste all the PF wrong deeds if not upgrade the acts like caderism and violence.

The case of opposition leader Jackson Silavwe and the by-election upgraded violence laced with abductions.

We saw the Minister of Local Government Charles Banda who was elected by the people of Kapoche in Eastern Province suspend Miles Sampa as a Mayor of Lusaka who was elected by 30 times more votes than the minister got in his constituen­cy.

The UPND and nations at large condemned that act. Today they have copied the same act. The mayor and majority councillor­s of Kafue were sponsored by UPND.

So it means the UPND as a party is failing to run a simple council like Kafue. What more of complex councils like Lusaka, Kitwe, Chingola, Kasama?

It’s time the UPND-led government and ministers concentrat­ed on copying and pasting the PF good deeds like medicine stocking in hospitals, fertiliser early distributi­on, drainage cleaning, roads maintenanc­e, Kanyama and elsewhere in Lusaka floods mitigating measures etc.

This all before we can even start talking about the tangible good deeds of roads, hospitals and schools constructi­ons.

At the moment, I give them total pa total (10/10) in only copying and upgrading specific PF bad deeds while in government and to which we have admitted and regretted. Bena ni sundown ukukopela. Together we can

MILES SAMPA.
