 Good morning, all members of the patriotic front. My name is Fishin Bakambili. Gentlemen and ladies in the patriotic front, let me begin by saying that I respect the central committee and the decision of the central committee. But I have a different view over the issue of participation in the youth day and women's day celebrations. You see, if we are going to take the women's day and the youth day as a political activity for those in power, then we are losing it. We are losing it. When we were in power as a ruling government, UPND used to boycott the youth day and the women's day. We condemned them left, right and center that those were national days that should not be politicized. How can we today, dear central committee members, make a decision to boycott the youth day and the women's day? How are we going to show the world that we are different from UPND? How are we going to show the world that we are consistent in what we do as PF? Besides, the youth day and the women's day are days which are supposed to be treated as mass mobilization days for the youths and the women to show the whole country that PF still exists. I remember when we were in the opposition with Mr. Sata, we never boycotted any youth day or women's day celebration. To the contrary, we used to go there in large numbers, larger than the MMD. But what has changed today that we should decide to boycott the youth day and the women's day? I appeal to the central committee, please Vachilangwa and all of you respected members of the central committee rescind this decision. Let us go and participate in the youth day and in the women's day to show people that PF still exists. Boycotts have never hewed any results. Whether PF goes there or not, the youth day and the women's day celebrations will go on just like they used to go on during our time as a government. To me this decision should be revisited. We are going to take the party into oblivion. The existence of a political party is to show the country that we still exist. Imagine member going there in the Eligaria. Imagine DP going there in the Eligaria. Who are the people going to look at as the serious opposition? I am not undermining the decision of the central committee. But I am pleading with the powers that be that please. Let us rescind this decision and participate in the women's and youth day. My personal views to Shimbakamwe. Thank you.
