UPND Chairman for Mines and Freedom Fighter Percy Chanda has told former Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo that his apology to President Hakainde Hichilema will not change anything about his cases.
Prior to Mr Lusambo’s apology, the Head of State said in a post on his Facebook page that “ubuchenjeshi bwa nkoko, pungwa tasakamana. Fellow citizens, don’t worry.”
And Mr Chanda in a statement to the media today told the Kabushi Bulldozer that the President had already forgiven him for what he did to the Head of State and his family.
He said he had seen such apologies before from Chilufya Tayali who in a blink of an eye went back to insulting President Hichilema.
Meanwhile, Mr Chanda told PF members to cry for themselves as he said their days are numbered.
“As UPND we are not excited by the apology from Hon Lusambo. We have seen such apologies before from Chilufya Tayali who in a blink of an eye went back to insulting President HH. Not too long ago Lusambo was urging President HH to be strong, so what has happened to the bulldozer? Fool others not UPND,” he said.
“Ba PF, cry for yourselves because your days are numbered. If there is any person you should blame it’s your former Boss Mr. Lungu for inciting you to steal from the Zambian people through Ubomba Mwibala Alya
mwibala. Your arrogance and lack of respect for President HH is a clear testimony that you are hardcore criminals. Ever since the Zambian people kicked you out of office you have never shown any remorse and repentance for the atrocities you committed against the Zambian people.”
Mr Chanda accused PF members of lining up some people in offices of influence to sanitize them.
He warned the people he accused of intending to sanitize PF members using a Bemba idiom that says “lunshi wa chimpwena bamushikila kumo ne chitumbi.”
“What you must know is that your days are up and very soon you will be inmates. We are very much aware that corruption fights back very viciously. Yes, we know that you lined up some people in offices of influence to sanitize you,” he said.
“But be assured that you are going to jail very soon. Your sanitizers shouldn’t forget that lunshi wa chimpwena bamushikila kumo ne chitumbi. Should these sanitizers be found wanting who will sanitize them?”
Mr Chanda claimed that he understands when the PF cry that they are being persecuted.
He said their claim of being persecuted is based on why the big thieves are still moving freely.
“This is after comparing what you stole to what your big thieves have stolen. Be assured that those big thieves are not free and very soon they will join you in jail. We don’t want to use the usual tradition way of always killing a snake from the head. We are being methodical by decapitating the snake first and later when the snake cannot make any swift movement that’s when we are going for the head,” he said.
