Lubinda’s integrity in question as he is suspended from PF

March 3, 2013 | Filed under: News | Posted by:

Former Foreign Affairs Minister Given Lubinda was yesterday handed a six month suspension from PF effective from 10th December 2012 to June 2013.

Mr. Lubinda who is also PF Kabwata MP has suspended for treacherous behaviour in the party which effectively reduces his reputation as a credible and reliable politician in the country.

There is so far no word from Mr. Lubinda himself over the charge and the verdict effectively diminishes his political career if he is indeed a treacherous and unreliable character who lacks integrity.

It is so far clear what the suspension means to his parliamentary seat as it is unprecedented for the party to suspend a sitting MP.

The party have said they will seek the National Speaker, Patrick Matibini’s guidance on whether Mr. Lubinda will be eligible to maintain his seat while on suspension from the party that sponsored him to parliament.

Members of the PF within PF have been calling for his expulsion from the party but the Central Committee that met yesterday feared they may not retain their seat once he is expelled.

  15. Many people new that there is nothing that PF will do but will blind fold people and the advocates of Lubinda being expelled. I knew that once Lubinda is expelled from PF that will be the beginning of the down fall of PF.

    Lubinda is a man will continue leaking every evil works the PF will be doing to the public unless he is removed or sidelined.

  16. Given must speak out. Yes, keeping quiet shows carefulness but as his campaigns promises normally were, Given promised the people that his job is to talk to put things straight and now we demand that he does that job for us not to speculate.

  17. Lubinda unfortunately allowed himself to be Sata’s “attack Dog” against the opposition &) when PF was in oppostion. I remember him calling Tonga chiefs “Myopic” when their royal highnesses were querring Sata on re alignment of districts in SP. Let him now defend himself. He can’t keep quite any longer otherwise we will begin to think PF is right about him. Let him say something!

    • He also called the awards RB was receiving Mick Mouse awards. Noone should feel sorry for Given. He had it coming. The venom of the cobra is yet to take effect. Whetherto Given? Achewa anati chikomera galu kuluma mbuzi? Chaona mzako chapita mawa chili paiwe. Given enjoyed making fun of the people in the opposition. Alikuti tsopano?

  18. Summer Kabimba thinks when mr lubinda is career ended he will have a greater chance to the presidency since it appears sata’s life span is short. Summer K behaves like a hyena which follows a human being thinking as he swings his arm, it is about to fall. Anyway a coward hyena lives longer. But Summer K you may be waiting in vain. Mr lubinda just watch the snake and it’s hyenas and wolves as they increase their apetite for blood. Shame on them.

    • He is not a real zambian born to unknown father, so some zambia are just being racesit on him, he will read from the paper and Obama? time will tell. As political scientist i know that an MP in zambia can only lose his posistion if he issuspened for more than 6 months. WE WERE TOLD THIS EVEN IN GRADE 8 AND 9 AND I WONDER WHY THE WATCH GOD CANT EVEN KNOW THAT IN THEIT REPORTING? WHO ARE THIS GUYS?

      • Whenever you tok of issues it is not right to involve parents. They have to be respected at all times. Lubinda is Zambian snd has the right to contest as President. The fact that you are black completely does not guarentee you of having been born from the man you call “father”. Maybe your mother slept with a man from Togo and there you are boasting as if you are sure who ur real father is. If not bcoz I’m born again, I wud say “fuck you” but no all I can say is “peace be with you” VIVA LUBINDS MY HEROE and shame to Wynter and his supporters.!

  21. Given do you think this is a better deal they have given you? Remember that this allegation has now tarnished your image in the political circles of this country.
    You need to speak out it appears you are gilt and they can do any thing to you. Speak out we want to hear from you.

  22. PF is for Bembas and believe it or not, after using him to sort out Lubinda, we are now scheming on how to hound out this non-bemba chap called “Summer” as he is a liability becoze he can’t win an election even in Mumbwa where he comes from.

Summer is a liability becoze he can’t win an election even in Mumbwa where he comes from.

  26. mmmm is it only me who has noted a slight change of reporting by ZWD. so far there are two stories that seem to be pro government agenda. this one which agrees with pf that lubinda has lost intergrity and the other one screeming that first lady had a succesful meeting. i have never seen such positive articles (on pf agenda) since pf came to power.

  27. Hon Lubinda just resign because you can ba called honourable if your integrety is at stake.it was even much better for you to lose ministerial position than suspensition is a punishment after you have been found wrong.

    • He knows that once he opens his mouth the party members will reveal all the hidden skeletons that we don’t know about. PF is cunning! No one is clean!

  29. wait a minute,the suspension has been backdated to Dec 10 2012.this simply means Given wil only serve 3months that is,2nd march to june 2013..moreover,Given atended the last parliamentary siting,meaning he was an active mp half of the suspension.so what does this mean?

    RASTA - March 3, 2013
    13:31

    • It means PF is full of pretenders. The suspension is just for formality to blind the cadres in Kabwata who are being incited to push for his expulsion. Otherwise they (PF) know that once they expell him he will spill the beans!

      Mubanga - March 3, 2013
      15:19

      • my opinion is that should he spill the bean, then HE will also spill the bean about him. He is not talking may be because he knows that HE also knows a lot about him, therefore not clean as he purpots to be.

      • I agree. They know Given is one they don’t want in the other camp. They know the chap is sharp!

  30. I know Given to be treacherous from way back 1982 & indeed history repeats itself when at NRDC Mr Timothy Siakaziba, President Students Union then had Given et tal locked up at Chelston Police for causing confusion in students politics. He pushed for impeachment of the President but Siakaziba called for a referendum, brilliant guy indeed and voting results were landslide in favour of the President to continue.
    Iam reminded of this past when I see that Sata now wants Given out of his party & surely Sata/PF through Kabimba are RIGHT to expel him. I hear Siakaziba lives in some rural part of Choma district now & could attest to this.
    So is he to exculpate himself or awaits expulsion after June? The procedure does not seem to be same as suspensions at work what guides the speaker in such a case while expulsion like Monde for UPND is straghtforward loss of seat? What about payment of gratuity accrued?

    Analysit - March 3, 2013

    • There does not seem to be any act of treachery in the story you just told. That the student president was overwhelmingly affirmed does not mean his action was justified. The only time when an action is justified is when it has been proven beyond the shadow of doubt that it was the best under the circumstances. In the example you gave, there does not seem to have been arguments from both sides heard by an impartial body.
