UPND National Youth Chairperson Gilbert Liswaniso has observed and lamented that some cabinet ministers and MPs are not helping execute the ruling party’s campaign in Chawama. He has since warned that MPs and ministers not helping with the campaigns should do an introspection or risk being left out during the adoptions. Bo Liswaniso has hit the bull’s eye!
Failing to or neglecting to assist with the campaigns in Chiwama and Kasama or indeed elsewhere where by-elections may be taking place is actually dereliction of duty, let alone lack of commitment to the aspirations and revolutionary cause of UPND! Do such individuals deserve a sit at the high table be it as Ministers or MPs? Definitely no!
We’ve every reason to believe these are the same individuals who’ve actually been failing to deliver or indeed neglecting to visit their constituencies, regularly. Why should they fail to assist the party grow the numbers in Parliament or council chambers when they probably rode on the back of the President or the ruling party to get to their destination? Yes…..some of them have “arrived” and no longer seem to care!

It’s however gratifying Levy Ngoma, the political advisor to the President, has his eyes on the ball…… he’s ever doing politics par excellence! As opposed to remaining holed up in Lusaka digging in kilos of ‘chisa nyama’ during the festive period for instance, he was ‘pa ground ‘ in Chawama……and he’s now in Kasama where mayoral by-elections are taking place effortlessly hobnobbing with the electorate…..some of them ordinary people in society. UPND shouldn’t always be expecting the President to be doing all the donkey work like it has been over the years.
We expect party members, particularly honourable ministers and MPs to emulate Levy Ngoma by discarding their business suits and putting their boots on the ground in Chawama or Kasama to ensure sweet victory. Prince Bill M. Kaping’aNational CoordinatorHH Mpaka 2031!
