 Thank you very much, colleagues, members of Central Committee present, my colleagues from the media. First and foremost, today we focused on talking about our party. I also want to join others to pay tribute to our founding fathers of this political party. It's now 22 years old. We spent 10 years in opposition. We also spent 10 years in government. What a wealth of experience. Right now, let me also emphasize the point that PF is bigger than any region. That's why we have the constitution which we follow and which we have actually improved. And we want to ensure that and make a point as members of parliament. We do not have different forms of membership. We only have one type of membership. You come from socialist party, you join PF, you are a full member. You come from UPND as I've known that a lot of people are joining us from the UPND. You are a full member of PF and you have every right to be, you know, the same way as the right to vote, you also have the right to be voted for or to be appointed in any position of authority. So that point is very important. That having said, it's clear that those that are falling behind, the opportunities that have existed in the part and we are happy that at least we have also experienced after being in office when having opposition, we are seeing the true members of PF. Those who are dining with the UPND, those who are going to UPND and beg money, what's the UPND? We ask you, leave and join the UPND. The UPND, by the way, is a Finnish party. No, we moon to president because of the compounds. People are telling you in Salah and you come, we are laughing about it. That's what's the lack of seriousness. You know, Zambiaz, I want to remind you that in 1991, it's hunger that brought down the Mite KK. Who stayed in power for the same case? This hunger is the same hunger that has brought out the UPND. And by the way, especially the UPND has already lost power. We are just waiting for the manifestation. I want to also emphasize that it's true because of the failure of the UPND. We are now seeing things, we have nothing to look at. The demonstration by the students at the University of Zambiaz is a clear indicator of their failures. As they have felt their preoccupation has been to go and arrest opposition leaders. They have now finished all the opposition leaders, arresting them. And by the way, once they arrest, they are failing to prosecute them in court. So the only arrest they have to do is to arrest you, keep you for two days. I just did the last one of Munea Zulu. After that, there's nothing more. There's no conviction that we can talk about that the UPND is fighting corruption. And please, Agas, let's open our eyes. Our colleagues, maybe it's true they are educated, but I doubt it. Let me say one thing. Their type of corruption is what is known as white corruption, institutionalized corruption. You know the words that are stealing our money. They are now going to the Atoni general to sign consent judgments. So a funny guy somewhere, a criminal comes. Oh yes, you know, Afromu, whatever. You know, I was slapped here and there. I'm suing the government through the Atoni general. And remember the Atoni general was just before he was ratified by parliament. He was a member of the, what they call it? The National Committee of the UPND. So he's a member of the UPND, technically. And because of that, they are signing these consent judgments. Let us bring to the tune of 6.4 million. That's a lot of money that the government is giving out. Now amid all these problems, we have all this corruption. But this is just a simple example. Let me emphasize that at the end of the day, really, the UPND said they wanted to bribe the students with so-called new allowances. I'll tell you, the issue of new allowances, the PF, still stands well with the removal of new allowances. I don't like to defend that position. What we said, we are aware that new allowances are important for the students. But we had more students wanting to do universal education. So we said to the students, can we share? We pay for other things, we remove new allowances. Particularly those from the rural areas like Rwango. That is how those new allowances, they are not removed for the sake of it now. And we were to return them with time. But alas, the students have now agreed that this is wrong. The UPND is meddling with student leadership. Now student leadership is necessary for national leadership. Like most of us, you know, Christopher Canombe, myself, and several others in the PF, who were students. So let them stop meddling with the elections of students as a way of winning the 2026 election. Whatever it is, they are failing. All these are signs of desperation. I don't want to keep you long, but I must say that as I conclude, they form a head of state. There is no law that stops them from traveling and there is no need for them to get any permission from anyone in this country or outside. Like Makulika said, he has a right to freedom of movement. There is only existence and administrative measure to inform the government because he is head of state. So let them not stop him from moving. They fear, you know, like John Sangwa said, that if they come back, let them stop him in the ballot. What is this? They fear, like I said, desperation has intrigued and entered the community. And the next two years, we are ready as patriotic front. Whatever they do, we hit them head on collision. And indeed, we remain as a party. We are mass movement. We remain united. Not understanding all these small things, but we remain call to support the objectives of the party because the patriotic front was founded on the principle of fighting for the poor, unlike this political party which, you know, works for the rich. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. We will go to Chilbi. They come in small packages, but they are dynamites. Thank you, ma director. I know that most of the people have misunderstood it, and associated it with our friend Mmbi and many other factors. But that is not my day to introduce the issue of the start. I want to address the media and maybe fellow members on few pregnant tissues. I want to address the media and maybe fellow members on few pregnant tissues taking regal issues that most of our members have addressed, serious issues that are around the nation. First of all, I want to establish there is this thing that is making you can degrow goose pimples when they hear that PF wants to come back to power. Is it their right to buy PF? PF has the right, according to the Bill of Rights, to coexist with zamjans and they can have a partnership with zamjans. It is up to zamjans to reject PF in the borrow. UPND may be for you not to spend sleepless nights that you should have it in mind that PF would exist as far as zamjans allow it to exist. Our lifespan is not in the hands of UKD. That has to go on record. Our lifespan is not in the hands of UKD. UPND was formed in 1998 in 2001. It became a ruling government UPND was formed and UPND should not underestimate us that we are very experienced. The other member of parliament said that we have existed in opposition we have also existed in the ruling party. So, experience is vast. And don't take our silence for granted. When we are silent, that's because we want peace in the nation and we want to contribute to the existence of peace. We have maneuvers that we are doing and we are sponsoring people that we know. We are politicians too but we have just managed to watch you because we don't want to make the country ungovernable. By responding, that's because we are in power. We are giving you space so that you approve of Waukula win. Now it's Waukula win. So, in security we are blaming us. When we talk about a partnership with the Zambians currently we have got a vast hangar spread throughout the nation. The Albanites are affected. The villages where I come from are affected. The Peria Alban is affected. So, what should be the personal of every politician? We have a very sound manifesto some of you have read it the manifesto from 2021-2026 is helping us to exist as a political party and if the European is finding a problem they are at a ten point which is no longer there they are manifesto as a ruling party not even in circulation. That should be an indicator that this is a bogus in a political party that doesn't suit to rule a country. If a ruling party is afraid to even securex the manifesto PFO I remember the time minister came to power he was not afraid to talk about even weaknesses of PFO they are afraid of talking about the weaknesses because they overpromise the people they can't fulfill anything now PFO has become a target I want to also underscore the fact that once a fava swapo mango unjale leko hao bimixi once a fava swapo mango only mad person can throw a stone kuchimu ticha mango kuchimu ticha mango kuchimu ticha mango because you know that once I throw a stone I'm going to drop a mango fruit and I'll eat a mango fruit this tone of the stone even hiring boys who are speaking you'll find a boy who was in Kansama pretending to be mad hour and say I'm still PFO we are coexisting and you still remain a member of the party it is clear in point six, there are no neutral positions it's either you are with us or you are not with us it's simple those who are not with us are not going to speak our language those who are with us will speak our language we are with our leaders I want to underscore the point that we are with our leaders in everything in the we are going to be part of the vanara pedid where we are our leaders are going to be part of the weakness when our leaders are going to be part of the strengths We are going to coordinate with that strength. Let you not be cheated that members of parliament are not with the MCCs that they are making decisions now. When the leaders make decisions, by the way I want to take time also to congratulate our new SG, taking into consideration that we have a deputy MCG which is incarcerated, which we sympathize with and as a party we are proud to with us and I think is in court today. We also congratulate them the new information and the unpublicity chairperson who is quite effective and I want to also emphasize that will be a ful. Tehukulanda fe Pakano wa Tehukumatelo now saging at no, you are a pf no. Bu pf kutatemustreti resilience those that have fought with the party, how many times has Nakachinda, a man of Mambanda that has gone in two cells because of pf? Today you want to say they are not pf? Who are you? Yes, who are you? The person who was demonstrated to go in cells because of the man, if they wanted to sell the party, they would have sold the party when they were under pressure. Like you are doing? Like you are doing? Where are you going in the night and play Judas Excaliot? Whoever is Judas Excaliot, to ask for where we stand, maybe it's just a matter of time, where we stand, whoever is Judas Excaliot is not with us. Our fight is big and we have a moral duty to redeem the Zambians. We are the ones who sit and go out to redeem the Zambians. If you talk about the 1858 council that we have got a chunk there, we have a chunk in parliament, and we have structures intact, not shaken. So don't make a mistake that you ban to not have your family's gear to have such a path koliwis, not well. We don't know what kalipe do, kalipe. We don't know what path koliwis, and when we talk about this, UPN need to have capacity when we start politics. We have just chosen patriotism. We have chosen patriotism because we need to coexist. We don't want to be disturbing you. I don't take that for a weakness. I want also to address the issue of what the president currently said. He said we are going to persecute. I'm sure you heard nicely and persecute. Some of you have been sending me a text and say, how did you look at the president like that when you was trying to great members of parliament? Sorry, I don't pretend. I am a genuine leather Catholic who doesn't pretend to understand such justice. And what I've been taught by my church is that I suffer with the majority. I suffer with the common man. That is what guides me. And when anyone is disturbing, the common man is equally disturbing me. Whoever has raised fuel prices, has raised fuel prices for me. Whoever has not arrested the prices of Miu Miu, has not arrested the prices of Miu Miu for me. And I think to me, we should not expand the energies into arresting me and that Mumba thing, that failed pastor, who is trying to whip the emotions of people that individuals should be arrested for epsomage. Which is the question, sorry that I would softly call this immoral. You cannot change to take that as a pastor. We know that we have relations. If you want to debate about Zimbabwe and the like, that is our brand. It's our semi-stream. And we go with that and we embrace whatever choice that we have no rights to control what is happening in another country. Here, we agreed that president, I can't say president. And if powers surrender to him freely, what should we interfere to another country's affairs? They have the rights to choose whoever they choose and all we are supposed to do is to agree with them and go along and trade with them in different areas. My dear brothers and sisters, I also want to address that you could take a chilupanupa per secretariat. Lasa wula inkuni. One koshia. And you say now take a chilupanupa per secretariat. Pa ribapu a chilupanupa, no? Go chilu. The only chilupanupa per secretariat is when we lost elections and we have recovered. So, we have been mourning our fighting father president without problems. Now, let me take time to also address these spineless infidels that have been dropping and going around thinking that because we are quiet, then they can take us on. The spineless infidels also include some of the distancia coming from our party. Those that have chosen to drink from a poison just those that have chosen to eat with them for the sake of the berry, we are looking at a bigger picture. We are going to look for kulea. We left all in Singakili pif. We are going to look for kulea Not why you are peraging and claiming to be pif when you are speaking against the party. Those are spineless infidels. And I think when we want to talk about the issue of the way we have traded ever since we lost, we have known and we have acknowledged that somebody has removed us because possibly we had one or two mistakes and we have apologized several times on different platforms to zandians. But we are asking from zandians that since you are the owner of the power that we, the politicians, always tie for and go for. We are asking for another mandate not quite a fish wheel to a little, to a little take a lepo not quite an infrastructure where you can even have say no number of tourists have increased when you are talking about in the same mouth you are talking about the social airport Now we are not knowing that what has increased the number of tourism is the same way of what you are referring to as sausage where man was pumping. So now in our journey to rebarreting the zandians since we have demonstrated a pedigree that we can care for zandians better than UPND we know that we are going to be persecuted like the president said in parliament recently he will persecute though he said in the civil way there is no persecution that goes in the civil way there is only persecution persecution is wrong what the law allows is prosecution now we are geared we want to put it on record that we don't care and we don't fear whatever comes we know that politicians are very heavy we are going to take the cross if the Dr. Christ took the cross up to Calvary who are we? Yes so we are ready to take the cross and we know that we have to pay a price those that are not ready to pay a price as we go on this journey more than to be called a sir Tule mi pushafi mulaisa pano maisha posiga and to pose like your evolutionist when who have never known you as a revolutionist you entertain a dramatist that's what we know you for now don't come and pose as a revolutionist mutu like the for even to send then she it is she either over the morning mutu kwa apisheti some of you where you have gone through you should appreciate that this party here kwa tomu mokuru to accommodate different children even in troubled children like Mao Zamba and accommodate it so now when we accommodate people that means that is weakness trefa yoku monogobati different people get on board and different people contribute because what we look for is what they are supposed to the skills that they are supposed to contribute and along the way we are supposed to attract more members with different skills and for all information when we launch our strategic plan as an organization you will see that we are not a joking matter we don't joke we thought of trying to come at any points plan ah sure bako mga toa landa party manifesto manasanga nga moaf kumabono pansi manasanga manifesto ya turumana fymu liya musto stranipera wensama konditansi they manifesto is we don't hide because we are ready to defend what we have written so now I am appearing to the members abale maneka kwa tikunaka abale maneka kwa tiknumensu na shani wukweba tii injito ano ya tampa if I thought today for ya chakweba tii to package chalo on behalf of the Zambians in a very civil way to the ballot na twishwa umush kumudia buka fikowa ballot to kalopola and we are not joking to kalopola and people know that's why they are not every time they are talking about us because they know that nifosa twingalopola fika nokulopola tukalopola napanguala tukanya yo so without skuwa the ballot in the wafika today it's not a poser because he is not teaching the kasi tatawe about having a Zambia when you have a kula but when it comes to the ballot please it belongs to PF I think I don't want to bore you the media and I don't want to bore my friends we have said a lot of things I think he I take the contents of our information and publicity you know to a person and the director if at all there are any questions from the media we are ready to answer and I think I raise my suitcase on this note could even data she would talk but she has just opted to remain mute for now or is it for another briefing or maybe it's just a briefing thank you very much okay maybe let me talk about on the persecution of the former head of state first I want to state that his travel his recent travel where was blocked it has no cost implication on government it has no cost implication on the government so what was the issue why block him because no matter what you are written why you should get permission or be blocked I've just seen in the newspaper the spokesperson from where he's saying they can't allow the former head of state to travel without security it's not a joke what kind of security are they talking about is it security yaku muchita preventi is security is life yaku is it security to check what he's doing because they are scared they are not doing things right so let them come out in the open you saw even last time we was it just a few weeks ago when it was in the cup ability went for prayers the deployment we saw one could not believe when we have no medicine in the hospitals the resources that are being spent kutitu a hitaban kwenju en gapuska mospit why because but look what the deployment just stop him to go nakuena but let's first what's kind of security because they should have been there with them no change so what they are saying is not the truth they are scared of their own shadow here if you remember that one is the head of state he needs to be respected he has saved this country and his development is legas we expect them to tap from his wisdom they are not going to do anything if they are not ready to build on what the pf left development is continuity you can't start everything what I am bakwisa what take it a pokui what take a pokuisa bakwine take a new everything they want to do everything they would want to do what you are bakwine but pf what you remember but what is your power but pf it's not easy for them to do it but legas not easy at all not easy we have information everywhere they have borrowed six billion dollars in two years the pf bought seven billion in seven years you are able to see where that money is are you able to see where the six billion has gone narekera popen the pf party is the only proper party avantu o valeri nila

experiencing during this time we are rebranding it's a passing phase it's itching to chi kuru pifon 30 pitefi ukuwa mulututuma taburasi because among us we have people doing it well but time is coming we are going to flash them we are going to do it kwa ni kanimutuwa iti chai na apeni na popi members of parliament we are so privileged that you came to keep strength to the secretariat and you also came to support the decision of our acting president honorable given winda and decisions of the central committee you are a pillar in our party because of the work you do in the legislative assembly you help supervise those policies reject those aga hamfu and also debate on the welfare of our people the many issues that you raised first to stand with the party to reject in this plane as was shown on friday also to speak on issues affecting our people where hunger unemployment poverty have since isolated i was hearing the the president's debate in parliament when he delivered his speech where he claimed that they found a damaged economy and i know you members of parliament who use your response to remind them that finding three billion dollars in foreign reserves it's not a damaged economy finding 1.5 million metric tons in many great reserves it's not a damaged economy finding that the country had invested in power and there's no load shedding if there's load shedding it's just as a result of a careless decision to export more power than you are generating or than what is available to our people so they have damaged the economy they want to allege they found a damaged economy they rate their borrowing art as explained by you members of parliament is far far higher than the pf borrowed in 10 years so we would like to appreciate you and thank you for finding time because some people were alleging that they are taken over the secretariat they even appropriated themselves positions outlawing the party constitution so such persons in fact outlawed their own membership of the party so we appreciate you on behalf of the central committee i thought that your duty to command inspected damage that was done and also to provide solidarity especially to our staff that are here i think it's highly commendable thank you very much members of the press our MPs will now take questions director take over
