 It also shows that the UPND government and the ministers are not reading the minister of legal affairs or minister of justice, the minister of finance or the technical rights around the state house around the president are not doing their job. Why have so many special aids to the president and yet they cannot help us and that's an embarrassment on the head of state. You cannot do that. If anything, if there is one head which they should have analyzed and looked at critically, it was the state house head. That's the optimum governance in this country and they want to just frown upon it and not take the necessary decisions and so on. So colleagues from the media, you must take these issues very seriously. When we bring up such issues, how did the entire machinery not detect that the constitutional provisions which were the yellow book is fair and true and haven't for it. And I'm sure if I was the president, heads will rock because that is embarrassing the president. You cannot embarrass the president in that fashion. You can't. We've got senior members of parliament dancing on the floor of the house every day but they cannot take attention to detail that is so tight and acceptable. So for me, the MPs from TF and other independence who stood up and took that action yesterday, I want to commend them and we say that's how it should be. That is why the people elected you to go in that house is to ensure that you pay special attention to details. Fast forward. The fourth issue that I would like to discuss with you today is the issue of the Minister of Home Affairs. Yesterday on the floor of the house, the Minister of Home Affairs, Hon. Bojack Mumbu stood up trying to lecture to us that talking about the president in the negative is a crime under the constitution of Zandia and people can get arrested. I was shocked that Hon. Bojack Mumbu would want to use the floor of the house to intimidate us. We shall not be intimidated colleagues. Not today, not tomorrow. We have had enough of these intimidations from UPND. We shall not take it. If they want they can arrest all of us. We are not afraid of being arrested. I am not afraid of being arrested. I am ready to go and sit in jail for as long as it makes them happy. Jack Mumbu should not use the floor of the house or the recent acquired powers to intimidate us. It's not me who said that if I am elected in two office at 10 hours by 14 hours, I will sell the jet to pay for the student fees. It's not me who said that if I am elected at 10 hours and soon in the afternoon, the exchange rate of the kwacha will go to $10, the 10 kwacha to a dollar. It's not us in the PF who said that the price of minimum is going to be 250 kwacha. It's not us in the PF who said the price of it lies is coming to 200 kwacha. We are not and it was himself and they said if you elect us within this period this will be done. What normal people do when you over promise you must go back and apologize. Sorry colleagues, we didn't know what we are getting into. We made the first promises please give us a bit more space. That's what reasonable people do. We do not accuse us that they are insulting you when you are the one who is lying. You lie and the problem with these characters in UPND, they have no shame of lying. They lie in the morning, they lie in the afternoon, they lie in the and the tragedy of lying is once you tell one lie, you have to tell two more lies to cover the first lie. Once you tell two lies, you have to tell four more lies to cover the first two lies. That's what the problem is, the Zambian people are waiting and do not tell us that we should give them time. The honeymoon is over, 100 days the honeymoon is over and it was them who promised so many things that they said they are going to implement, they are going to do in such and such a period. We never put a gun to their heads. The Zambians put a gun to the heads of the UPND that promise us this under this timeframe. So they should not, and I repeat, they should not continue with this intimidation. If somebody is lied, his name is a liar. That's what it is. If you are lying, you are a liar. And it's not an insult. If you are not telling the truth, it means you are a liar. The other day we heard the president himself talking about contracts. He said no, those characters in parliament should not even talk. They should be ashamed for talking because they connived between ministers and permanent secretors to award contracts to themselves and they failed to perform. Come on, what kind of advisers has the president got? Does he understand the process of procurement? Is he able to name those ministers who connived with the permanent secretaries? I was the minister for the province. There was no single day that we connived with the permanent secretaries for any contract. So why should, if one or two people are contractors, why should we all be lumped together? It's not fair. It's not unacceptable. Some of us did our level best to ensure that we executed the mandate of our office with dignity and honour. And we don't expect that coming from the president. What we expect to come from the president is to say colleagues who did very well in this particular area, in this particular area. Those who did not do well, we shall see how we can improve on. That's what we say. That's what leadership and statemanship entails that he should be doing. Does it mean that if you're a former minister or you're from the PF, you have no right to do business in this country? Was president HH not doing business when he was in the opposition? Did anyone of you ever hear that the PF is blacklisted so and so and so and so because they're supporting UPND? No. You remember the story of the Manunbi target which stood for four months, three, four, five years? Who was the main contractor there? You can research. The PF never ever at any given time stopped anybody who belonged to another political party from pursuing their programs. We never did because everybody is a Zambian. Do we have ought to be UPND to get contracts? Why are those people aligned to PF not being paid? Why are they being blacklisted? What kind of country are they trying to create? Should we open UPND? The answer is no. We are a majority state, meaning that we have our own political possessions. Just like we have our own religious possessions, do we have ought to be Catholics or SDS? The answer is no because if you are watched or you are something else, then you cannot have access to work opportunities. The answer is no. So this trajectory which this president has taken is very dangerous and they need to refrain from it. That's a tragedy of being a failure from the first day because we want to divert attention. All those summations and everything, all it means is just trying to divert attention. Colleagues, if your contractor is given a contract, if your contract is given a contract, there are all those processes. Before he even signed that contract, they are what they call performance bonds. Meaning that if you do not execute or you default, the government will not lose money because all they would do is go for your bond, go for your house. Go for your machinery. If I do not have a shovel or a wheelbar to get a project, but I have brains, I deserve to be given a contract because I am Zambian. If you colleagues, we are going to sit here and say the only people must get contracts in this country are those people with money, none of you are going to rise. None. You can't run a country in that fashion. You can't. If you have the brains, you have the experience, colleagues, if you have been in the business for 10 years as an engineer, you mean you cannot get a contract, register a company through NCC and go ahead and get a loan, go ahead and get a bond from insurance and get a contract, then it becomes a crime to trade the entire India each lemon. Now is, I corner man. I corner man. You can't. So that is totally unacceptable and that is meant to intimidate small scale contractors. You can't do such a thing as a president and do even like a classroom teacher, even if you even like a classroom teacher at your own ministers. Come on. What is that you tell me? Who does that? Stop behaving like a headmaster, start giving like a president. Last one, my agenda for this morning. Colleagues, one of the issues why we lost elections was the issue of in this plane, in this organization PF. If we do not route out in this plane, rebranding, we can forget about rebranding. In this plane, in this organization, he is one of the reasons why we are where we are today as part of the front. And we can no longer continue being in this plane. We can no longer continue running around like headless chickens. Whoever wakes up can go to TV and the South President Ed Galoon. Come on. What kind of human beings are we? Even those whose jobs was just to go and meet the press, today they are saying that President Plungo is not listening to them. How? How does a spokesperson becomes thinks he is an advisor? Stick to our lines. It's totally unacceptable and that no sense will not be tolerated. For me, under my watch, this plane is number one. And because of that, I am here by announcing today that the Lusaka province committee of the patriotic front is hereby dissolved. All issues pertaining to Lusaka province will be handled by the secretariat. The Kennedy Kamba Committee, which has been in the forefront of insulting the President, of insulting the members of the Central Committee, which has been the epitome of in this plane, is today dissolved. They have no single lead to stand on. They lost elections in Lusaka. Today they want to determine the destination of this party, the future of this party. No, they lost elections here in Lusaka. What normal people do when you lose elections is to slow down with draw. President Plungo has done that. He has withdrawn to go and reflect. For them, they should leave provinces that performed better to be talking. Lusaka should have left Luapula Muchinga Eastern and Northern, who performed exceedingly. Let me talk about performing better than Lusaka. They should be the one talking at the Lusaka committee. Who would want to say, yeah, PF is now nice when you hear that woman who has been ranting on social media. Who would want to associate yourself with that? Nobody would want to associate yourself with that kind of behavior. Nobody. So we are going to clean this party and we are going to start now with the Lusaka committee and this will be an ongoing program. Within the next few days, we are going to announce an interim committee. We are going to take charge of the events for the Lusaka province. We cannot go into Kawata by election with that committee. We are going to be running away from us. So we can't run an organization like that. For me, as long as I remain acting secretary general of this organization, in this plane, we will not be tolerated. In this plane, we will be rooted out. And today is the beginning. And we are going to go, if it will go to districts, we shall do that. How can a constituent chairman of a constituent where you lost the MP be the one to champion the agenda of the party? Come on. We want to need Sony. We want to need Sony. So we cannot allow that to continue. Intimidations will not be allowed. We are saying we want to label the playing field for everybody wants to campaign and be the president of this party. But if you start intimidating them, are they going to come forward? No. You are going to intimidate quite humans being zoom supposed to step forward and help us in the rebranding and running of this organization. So you can't intimidate people. Let the playing field be leveled. And for your information, for us as secretariat, we shall not support a single candidate. Because if we support a single candidate, others will stop coming to the secretariat. We want everybody to come to secretariat, feel free. This is their institution. So colleagues, that is what I had to discuss with you. And before I ask you to ask questions, I will ask Honorable Rafa on our agenda. It may have one or two issues that you also want to share. Honorable, what about you? No, thank you very much. My name is basically just to speak to one very disturbing development. This morning I was besieged or were besieged by retirees apparently that were represented at some point by the current speaker of National Assembly. Who happens to at some point been alleged to have involved herself in some fraudulent activity that led to those pensioneers to report her to the police. And the matter was taken to court. Apparently the matter did not proceed because she was basically served by Enol. As we speak now, the pensioneers are shocked to find that she is trying to use hundred methods to sue the government for malicious prosecution when in fact she is only sitting on Enol. The current attorney general Mr. Kaviesha needs to address the nation and inform us why his office has now turned into a secret chamber to which the UPND officials and those that have been appointed to serve in UPND government are using to cleanse themselves of atrocities they may have committed before getting to government. We have heard of the president himself suing for malicious prosecution when in fact he is also sitting on Enol. We have heard of assistants and advisers to the president who have also sued through the attorney general suggesting that they are claiming damages for certain acts they committed before they got into government. We know that there is an orchestrated plan to use the office of attorney general and solicitor general for people to siphon money through concept judgments to cleanse themselves and also to obtain money through such fraudulent activities. We know that the president has been addressing himself to say that parliament he has no regard to the people's assembly. Maybe because he himself and his colleagues are guilty of what they are accusing patriotic front of because you cannot stay on a matter consistently calling honorable colleagues who have served this country for over 10 years some of them call them criminals without any evidence. A person who accuses other people consistent of something it may just be that they are guilty themselves of those same crimes and the evidence is what is now happening in the office of attorney general. We thought we could just address ourselves to that. Thank you very much. Thank you so much dear colleagues we have come to the end of our briefing I would like to thank our acting secretary general.
