 I will now invite our Honourable Member of Parliament, who is also our National Chaldead for the Partridge Front, MP for Khorushin, Honourable Kampam Bommelengah, who also presents it as a presented forum to take the floor and make her comments. Thank you, Weep, and good morning to everybody. I would first and foremost directly want to speak to our women in the midst of our democratic conference. I think it's time for us as mothers to stand up and defend our own children. This is our country. There is nothing new about Mrs. Harris coming. I'm sure, especially colleagues from the media, we've seen her stance in Ghana, and I'm sure this is a stance here in Zambia. In the midst of this democratic conference, I think America should echo the right to choice. Each country should be able to choose and have a clear agenda on how they intend to govern their country. Age should never, at any particular time, good age should never be tied to any agenda. We know what this LGBTQ is about. They might not use terms like gay, but they'll use certain words that may be a common, yes, a common man might not understand. But we know for a fact that their driven agenda is obviously to promote these rights, God designed man and woman in the Garden of Eden, for an intention, a clear intention that we as a Christian nation know. We will not allow a situation where we'll be guided that man should be man, woman should be woman, and they should marry or whatever term you might use it. It is our generation, our identity that they are going to destroy. All of us, regardless of any political affiliation, it's time that Zambia stood up. This is a country that was declared a Christian nation, and all of us have the right as Zambians to defend who we are. We have to have an identity, and I'm calling out to, especially the mothers, because we are the ones that go to those labor wards. We are the ones that nature those children. And side of it all, the target is on our own children. And if we do not see it, it is just last week I was visiting one of my children's parents in Keto Central Hospital. He is in a terrible state. The boy is confused, and if we do not stand up and protest to this occasion, believe you me this is a generation lost, and all of us in our homes, it will be very sad. It is no, God is not a God of mistake. He created man and woman for a purpose in the Garden of Eden. He did not create man and man. So even as much as the stance, and you see, even as much as government will come out and say we do not support LGBTQ, speaking is one issue. Action speak louder than words. So if their agenda is to promote this LGBTQ, government should not even have allowed the summit to take place as a number one identity to say, look, we acknowledge and we are saying this is a Christian nation, and on a Christian ground, talks like that should never, ever, ever be allowed. So for me, I speak as a mother, and I'm calling out all mothers out there. Let Mrs. Harris come and speak on the proper agenda, but the stance of LGBT is not welcome. It is not welcome from any well-meaning Zambian, any Christian, and it is time that the church began to speak. We want to hear the church speak on what is happening in this country. We want to hear the church echo more on their stance on LGBTQ. We are not just going to speak. We need people to action that this is not correct and it shall not be allowed in this country. Very well. Very well. As a sentiment from a mother, supplementing the order, God is not God of mistakes. So we don't have to reinvent the wheel, you are ready for yourselves. Thank you so much, Honorable Member for that passionate plea. At this point in time, I would now invite one of our senior members of parliament, not only senior members of parliament, but is one of our leaders in the Partway Front. He is the honorable member of parliament for Kawambua, but most importantly, is our deputy secretary general of the party, functioning properly, both running the constituency and also running the affairs of the partway front. So we are being shepherded by him and the vice president of the party. Honorable Nixson Chinangwa, our deputy secretary general, you speak to the issues of why maybe supplementing the message from the vice president on our position with regards to the ongoing summit just next door and a few other issues related to the same and maybe also supplement what Honorable Nukta Chalo has already spoken to in terms of institutions of governance that should be anchors of democracy. Honorable Nixson Chinangwa, you go there for me. Thank you Honorable Kampuyongo, all protocols observed. Colleagues, thank you for coming and for giving us this opportunity to interact. I saw from the pictures in Ghana that Kamala Harris is moving around with her husband. Yes, she's moving around with her husband. What, how ironic is it that somebody moving around with their husband, a male, is busy promoting all these obnoxious traits? Isn't it ironic? She has got a man by her side and she's asking our children otherwise, what kind of nonsense is that? Colleagues. Kamala Harris must be told in her face that this is a noble area in something. Let her produce a female as her husband then we can talk to her and can listen to her. Secondly, what happened in parliament yesterday, we as Patutiku Fran members of parliament are not party to the appointment of those judges because our rights to debate and to interact with that particular issue was to tell it by the speaker. She gave us no opportunity to debate. We are in parliament to represent the views of our people, yet law and behold, the right honourable, nearly multi-elected to deny us that important task for which we are elected for. That is totally unacceptable. So we decided to vote against and you watch the space, you will know the reason very soon, you will know other things coming soon, why we elected not to be party to that way of doing things. Colleagues, Zambia is a democratic, is a constitutional democracy that we honour. How can you hold a democratic summit in a country where people are no longer voting for their representatives in the manner that it should be? Have you forgotten what happened in Kabushi? Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten what happened in Kuwait? Have you forgotten? Some of you are even part of the entourage that went to Eastern province in Kaumboy, in Ushangazi. Have we forgotten? Have we forgotten what happened in Kusha where people are beaten, brutalised, including the candidate? Have we forgotten what happened in Muenze? And then this character is able to say I'm hosting the democratic conference. Come on. And how do you look at the countries that are said to be co-hosting the so-called democratic conference? Who are they? Costa Rica, South Korea, the Netherlands, the United States of America. Are you sure this is an agenda about democracy? There's more than what meets the eye. Colleagues, were you not shocked when some overgrown idiot? Yes, that's what I call people who make reckless statements. Unless you're an idiot, this is a functional constitutional democracy. You cannot go around the world, go around the globe. Everywhere where there's democracy, people have the right to picket. People have the right to demonstrate. People have the right to come out in numbers and say we are not interested in what you are doing. What happens when you go out there and issue threats against citizens that they cannot demonstrate, they cannot come out and do what they want? And for your own information, all the issues that we are talking about, as patriotic front, we've written letters to all the mother church bodies in this country to highlight some of the dangers of this conference. We've written a letter to the police that, as patriotic front, we want to demonstrate and give us the space to demonstrate. Do you think they will respond? I doubt. If they don't respond, we are going to tell things the way we like to take. So that's where we are. But Jack Muimbo must watch himself. Jack Muimbo does not own Zambia. Jack Muimbo is representing UPND which has lost popularity. Jack Muimbo is representing the UPND which has lost favor with the Zambians. If they think they still have the 2.8 million Zambians, I'm challenging President Harka in the each lemur that is hosting a democracy conference. That tomorrow as they go to the conference venue with Kamala Harris, he must go for any elections. He's a democrat. If he's a real democrat, I'm asking President Harka in the each lemur to go for fresh elections immediately so that we see his democratic credentials. It doesn't matter what happened on August 12th. That is water under the bridge. The Zambians cannot wait to get rid of the UPND. Because they are democratic, they are standing their system on our rights. They are so provocative and reasonable and being like children without headless chickens. How can you say we cannot demonstrate? How can we demonstrate? How can you demonstrate? The other day we saw one of your colleagues, a journalist, being locked up for doing their job. Which democracy does that? That's where we saw how many journalists were arrested by the UPND policemen. For doing your job, is that what democracy does? Is that what democratic country is? And what is Zambia's ranking anyway? Amongst the most democratic countries in Africa. Are we in the top 5? The answer is no. Why wasn't this conference held in Mauritius which is ranked as the best democratic country in Africa? What are we doing here? Why wasn't it even held in South Africa? Which is in the top 5 bracket. Go and google Zambia, we are not. And we're actually in reverse. All the democratic credentials that people have fought for which have been in place for such a long time come UPND, boom, reverse. No wonder I love that song. You don't know that song? Dunona reverse is being fulfilled today. By voting for UPND, Zambia is in Dunona reverse of the West Order. Colleagues, those of you who talk to Jack Mungu tell him that Zambia does not belong to him and Zambians are free. That's how we sing the national anthem. Stand and sing of Zambia proud and free. That's what we are. We are Zambians and we are proud because we are free because Kelle Kawunda and his colleagues fought for independence and we shall not allow President Takahide Ichilema or Jack Mungu to take that away from us. So he'll tell him. So colleagues, this democratic conference being held in Lusaka is a sham. As the members of parliament, people who came to parliament through the ballot how many have been invited in their capacities as members of parliament? How many? As far as I know, from the PF, it's zero. Nine. Political parties, some guy from Justice asked Zambia Center for Interparty Dialogue to say can you ask members of political parties to come to our meeting? They know us. They know PF. The president should have invited us. And why is it that there is no statement whatsoever about this conference? There has been no single statement on the floor of the house. It's shrouded in unbelievable secrecy. In the whole of Shai. How do you have such a conference? Shrove it in so much secrecy. Maybe members of the press were called to minister of foreign affairs or to cabinet office and given a statement. Have you been invited? Has such been done? Tamish even. I'm sure you have reported about it. So a summit of this nature where normal people organize such summits information should not be hidden under the table. We don't have to be sniffing around to what is happening. Even up to today, 90% of Zambians, 25% of Zambians, don't even know when Kamala Harris is arriving. No, she was going to arrive yesterday. No, she was arriving the night. No, she arrived the other day. What is she coming for the conference? Listen to what she's saying. What she said is Ghana. To tell you exactly what she's yet. Did you see the speaker for Ghana? What she said about their president? Yes, the speaker for Ghana. Told of their president. For being a coward. So here, Kamala Harris must know that LGBTQ is in a go area. If they want to have a picnic at Mungushi, let them have a picnic. But I can tell you what is happening at Mungushi is not a democratic conference whatsoever. Because people who have gone through democracy have been elected like those of us sitting here today and not party to that conference. So what are they going to be talking about? Who are they going to be talking to? Isn't it ironic? And our strategy as patriotic front is going to continue. We won't tell you. But just watch the space. What will happen in the next 48 hours. Just watch the space. And Jack Mungu will not stand in our way. Thank you. Thank you so much. In case you didn't know. When one of us started our setting in the temple, I told you that he's an ordained senior member of the 7th day Adventist. The Honourable Deputy Secretary Chen is an ordained. The only time he wears red is when he's in the uniform of Christianity in the United States. He's also an ordained senior. Proud of you, Sese. At this juncture, they are on Honourable Deputy Secretary of the Temple of Discos. It's now time to wrap it up. And in wrapping up this engagement, I will invite the leader of opposition who will sum it up and probably also touch on the remaining part of the element. Because this sham, as Nam described, we have to balance. We have got youths as well. We haven't seen in that summit. So we have to be crucial. We have to be crucial. We have to invite the youth before I actually should have come before the SG but he was running out to do one or two things. So we will invite our youth from member of parliament from Pica Central to make also some brief comments. And then we can wrap it up. Honourable MP from Pica Central, Mr. Francis Campiambas. Thank you so much, Wip. And let me begin by stating that even God is very upset with the UPND. That's why we are seeing them exposing their scandals every day. And I'm sure one of the reasons why God is upset is their intention to impose LGBTQ rights on the Zambian people, which they do not want. America, by nature, is a homeonger. When they talk about promotion of democracy, it's a lie. On the other hand, they are holding a machete to cut. We have seen how they have destroyed Libya in the name of promotion of democracy. So is how they did it to Iraq. They spent billions of dollars destroying Iraq. They did so even in Afghanistan, so many countries that they have destroyed. When you read the U.S. strategy for sub-Saharan Africa, especially on page 7, you find that their so-called promotion of democracy in Africa is all about them meddling in our internal affairs, which they shouldn't do and which we shouldn't allow them to do. If they want to support us with it, let it come without any conditions. And if the UPND government wants America to support them with it, let them not accept any conditionalities that the American government want to put across, especially the promotion of democracy, which is meant at meddling into our own affairs, our electricity systems and everything. America should just support us with it if they want without any conditions. If they give us conditions such as LGBTQ, we say no to their aid. If they give us conditions such as a promotion of democracy in the actual sense they are meddling in our internal affairs, we say no to that. So we have a clear position on this matter, even their so-called democracy, which by any design should have included all of us, including the Zambian people out there. That conference tomorrow will be filled up to capacity. 75% of the people there are UPND cadres. What a democracy is like. We have requested this government to allow us to protest against the high cost of living on the copper belt. They have refused. They have not responded to us. What kind of democracy is that? We have requested this government to protest against this Shamogwa summit. They have refused. What kind of democracy is that? So as we expect the vice president of the US to come in, we want her and the conference to confine themselves on issues to do with poverty alleviation. That is what our people want to hear. They are not interested in democracy. Our people are interested in poverty alleviation. They want the high cost of living to calm down. That is what they want to hear. So if they do not confine themselves to such kind of topics, tomorrow they will see us protesting. We are very ready to be picked up by one of our Bojacki women, we are very ready. That is why you are seeing me dressing like this. We have a region of our youths out there and we know we are aware. They had a meeting the day before yesterday and they actually extracted it. Now they are going to fight our protest. We are not going to allow that. They will meet us head on. We have mobilized enough people to come and protest with. So let them not take this lightly. We are very ready for them as youths and as members of parliament. We want to send a message to them that we are not going to allow it. And by that, by whatever, why should America choose who our friends should be? They want to attack Russia. They want to displace China out of Africa. What is that? Who has appointed them to be superiors of us? We are a nation on our own. We are a continent on our own. We have never asked for an inch of America, not even Europe. But why should they ask for Africa as a whole? I end here on a report. Thank you so much. I am sure you are able to see the energetic way. So I am sure you are ready for yourself. At this time, I am invited to summit up the issues. I am told there is an agenda on corruption, which is here, but we do not know how to format the agenda on corruption. I think our Honorable Colleague has spoken so much to this issue of human rights. They might not know human rights as it is referred to. So as you sum up, it is important to reflect on such issues. I invite you to conclude this discourse. Honorable Honorable. Thank you. Thank you very much, Chief. I will start by recognizing members of the Central Committee, led by our APTSG. Colleagues that have spoken before me, thank you very much for your discourse. Elda, Rona, Kaumachitotela. We have Honorable Mutayachalo, Honorable Nixon Chilangwa, our dear lady, Lengatampamba, of course Honorable Robert Kapianga. We've got Mofrilla Member of Parliament who's giving us support, and of course Honorable Papahuma, who happens to be our Minister of Mind in our shadow cabinet. Yeah, yeah. To the media, you always say it's a good afternoon indeed. Ladies and gentlemen, as your representatives, we have raised concerns regarding what is happening in our country. Colleagues that spoke earlier, I've mentioned to this media interaction that what has raised most of our concerns has been the silence from government on these two very important events that are happening. One of them being the visit of the number two, the Vice President of the US, Madame Kamala Harris. Number two, the holding of this particular conference. There's been total silence from government, at least not on the floor of the house. Can you imagine colleagues that were just a few meters away from Mungushi Conference Center where this conference is taking place? One of my MPs came to tell me that for any updates, he's talking to his friend in Costa Rica. He's one who's giving him updates about what's happening here. And if he fails, he's also finding his friend in Korea in Netherlands because we have no information. The information is out there but not here. Indeed, we're just a few meters away. Now, we must be very categorical. I want to start by talking about our constitutional democracy. Zambia is a constitutional democracy. And in a constitutional democracy, democracy is measured by fidelity to the constitution. To what extent do we, as a country, follow our own constitution? We are surprised that we were chosen as the best destination or the best host for this particular event, even in the face of Kawushi and Wacha. We are of the same view, as you remember the parliament, that Zambia at the moment does not possess a credentials to host such a conference. A democracy conference in the face of Kawushi and Wacha and Kawushi. Look at the diminishing space, diminishing media space in this particular political arena. Your friends move TV the other time and many others are being arrested every day for doing their work. And yet we know that for any democracy to thrive, the media plays a key role. So we are of the same view that at the moment we do not, as a country, possess the credentials that it takes to be able to host such an event. Colleagues, you also know that if America, indeed, is coming to lectures on democracy, we need to look at their own credentials on the issues of democracy outside America. Honorable Robert Kapianga gave several examples. Such similar efforts were made in Syria, they were made in Libya, they were made in Iraq and so on. So the examples are many. We therefore wonder what exactly this a democracy conference or summit is all about. And remember, even in the Bible it says the two cannot work together unless they agree. When you look at the executive orders that Comrade Kapianga referred to, America recently signed executive orders. Among them is an executive order where foreign aid will be tied to the promotion and support of LGBTQ rights. They are very clear about it. Number two, the other executive order is spoke to the countering and maligning of Russia's influence in Africa, including China. So our friends, our visitors who are coming, have come out very clearly over their foreign policy. So the question that we have is that President Harkin at each level has in the recent past stated that he does not support, his government do not support LGBTQ rights. He equally has stated that the geopolitical relations between Zambia, Russia and China will continue. So we have a classic case where two hosts are clearly divided when it comes to foreign policy. What we demand to know is that during the conference, whether today, tomorrow, or the other day, if the issue of LGBTQ arises, what position will the president take? We saw an embarrassing situation in Ghana. Are we going to face the similar situation? Where the Ghanaian president was jumping and diving, kicking corners and not giving a straight answer. Is that the position our president is going to take when that issue comes up? What position will he take on the geopolitical relations? These are the simple questions that we are asking. But what response are we getting from the executive? Is Comrade Jack Muin going to take it upon himself to issue threats? I will repeat what the secretary general said. We, as members of parliament from the left, from the peers, we will not join a list of puppets who are going to sit back in fear and submit to imperialists. I want to state that. We are not going to join that list of puppets who will remain steadfast and defend the interests of Zambians. The Zambian people put us in that parliament to defend the interests and aspirations of this country. So when you look at our constitution, we are very clear in our minds that some of these cultures that they are bringing are unconstitutional. We swore to defend the constitution and to stand to defend that constitution. So clearly, Comrade Jack Muinbu, I want to say this as a warning to you. Minister, rethink your position. Do not think weaponizing the police and other security agencies is the way to go in a democracy. There comes a time, my dear brother, when there is no amount of armor, there is no amount of gunfire that will restrain the people that would like to exercise their democratic rights. If you want to govern this country, govern it using the principles enshrined in the constitution. We have the constitution. We have a bill of rights that gives the rights, fundamental rights to Zambians to demonstrate, to picket. We see that every day in advanced democracies, advanced jurisdictions, when there is a conference such as this one, there have been people all over picketing expressing themselves by appearing to have a very successful conference. If no one picketing does not measure the success that you want to show to our visitors. But I want to send this message to the Home Affairs Minister that whether it's now or in future, please warn yourself and resist the temptation of using threats or weaponizing the police with the belief, a mistaken belief that we, the people of Zambia, or indeed we, the lawmakers, will be or will stay away in fear. We have said no to those threats, Comrade Jagming. Find a better way of communicating or negotiating with the people, advising the citizens, threats is not a way to go. We will not succumb to those threats. We will stand firm. We are ready to pay the price. For the sake of democracy and for the sake of defending our constitution, we are even ready to lay our lives in defense of our constitution. So that is a message that we want to give to Comrade Jagming so that he realizes the price that we are ready to pay in defense of our constitution. The price that we are ready to pay in defense of our culture, we are a Christian nation and Zambia remains blessed because of that pronouncement. We will not allow any other culture that will be brought upon our land to bring a case upon this beautiful and blessed land. To our visitors, please take this as a message for you. We have seen what you did in Ghana. That gave us a clear indication of what your agenda is like. Even before that, we had no doubt because we had records. We had red, we had gone through executive orders. We know what foreign policy is all about, but your meeting in Ghana gave a clear indication of what your agenda is like. So as you come here, we want to urge you to please talk about democracy, talk about poverty reduction and the aid that you are able to give to Zambia without tying any conditions because Zambia is standing ready. The churches are ready. We are speaking for the churches. We are speaking for the clergy. We are speaking for the youths right across the country. We are not speaking of our individual capacities but in our presented capacities. So therefore, take a message from this media interaction very seriously because it represents voices of Zambians right across the country. Ladies and gentlemen, I also want to add my voice on a matter of those ways by honourable Charles regarding the debate on the ratification of judges it was most unfortunate because most of you came out in numbers. You made submissions through us as your presenters. You had certain apprehensions. You had certain fears about some of the nominees that were brought for ratification. Unfortunately, we were never given chance to be able to air or submit, make those submissions that you make through us. We want to appeal to the Zambian people that for any democracy to thrive, the judiciary forms an integral part. And therefore, the selection of judges is a very, very important process because that process should be able to come up with names of nominees of impeccable repute to be able to represent us as judges. Remember that the Constitution provides for the appointment of judges and if you look at the constitutional text and you look at the constitutional order you come to the realization that yes, whilst the constitutional text may have its own limitations the constitutional order which includes principles and values outlines the qualities and the values that must be possessed by those that are going to sit in that high place and if at all there are some doubts that are created there are some doubts that are created regarding those nominees. It's very important that first of all Parliament takes those apprehensions or submissions very seriously because these people are expected to function or carry out their functions in an impartial manner. So we are worried that some of those nominees that were ratified yesterday did not even qualify. Clearly, even going by the strict constitutional text and yet the names were put forth and ratified. We fear what is going to happen to our future outcomes of those courts given the compromise that may have been given in this particular process. So ladies and gentlemen with those few words I would like to thank all of you, especially members of Parliament that came out to speak to you today. Remember that we have put certain questions forth and because of what Jacque Mouim would like to do we are also very careful as to what information we are giving out but you will be advised in due course what would be next. Thank you very much. There you have it. I think
