Sata not fit to rule Zambia – Mumbi
Tuesday, May 12, 2009, 14:25

Former Patriotic Front (PF) party General Secretary Edward Mumbi has charged that PF leader Michael Sata is not fit to rule Zambia.

Mr. Mumbi accused Mr. Sata of keeping money meant for campaign programmes in the just ended October 30, 2008 Presidential elections at his residence.

He said the Patriotic Front lost the elections because of Mr. Sata’s alleged failure to send donated money to rural and some urban constituencies.

Mr. Mumbi was speaking when he briefed the press in Lusaka today.

He dared to fight back the PF Leader if he continued attacking and issuing defamatory remarks against him.

The former PF General Secretary also advised Mr. Sata to play clean politics and not to glamorize vulgar language, lies and violence.

Mr. Mumbi further challenged PF leader to apologize to Second Republican President Frederick Chiluba for alleging that he received US$2 million from Democratic Republic of Congo, Katanga Governor Moses Katumbi to fund rebel PF MPs.

Mr. Mumbi has also challenged PF President Michael Sata to apologize to the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) Justice Florence Mumba for alleging that she gave a Mercedes Benz car and a K500 million to Mr. Mumbi to derail the democratic electoral process.

Mr. Mumbi, who described Mr. Sata as a liar and a person who is in a habit of destroying other people, disclosed that he was requested by Mr. Sata to issue a statement suggesting that Dr Chiluba received US$2 million from Katanga Governor Moses Katumbi to form a political party together with the PF rebel MPs to contest the October 30, 2008 Presidential polls.

He challenged Mr. Sata to apologize to the former President for maliciously causing damage to his reputation as there was no money that Dr Chiluba received from Katanga Governor Moses Katumbi which was meant to destabilize the PF party with the formation of a new political party.

Mr. Mumbi further advised the PF leader to respect Dr Chiluba as he had played the Presidential role of serving the people of Zambia during his tenure of office as Republican President.
