Zambia: Major Chizyuka urges UPND members to Impeach HH
UPND president Hakainde Hichilema

Out-spoken United Party for National Development (UPND) Namwala Member of Parliament (MP) Robbie Chizyuka has called for the immediate impeachment of UPND president Hakainde Hichilema because he is a vision-less leader. And Maj Chizyuka has charged that Mr Hichilema is just being used by Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata in the UPND/PF Pact.

Maj Chizyuka urged UPND MPs to start the impeachment process on Mr Hichilema because he was following experienced politicians because he has no vision for himself in politics.

“I urge my fellow UPND MPs that time to impeach HH is now. I say so because UPND is doomed and going nowhere under the leadership of president Hichilema. HH formed an alliance – the UDA which cracked and today he is with Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata which is heeded for a split,” Maj. Chizyuka said.

Maj. Chizyuka said former Mongu Central MP Francis Simenda should lead UPND to the 2011 tripartite polls and not Mr Hichilema. Maj. Chizyuka said this in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today. He accused Mr Sata of being selfish and aspiring to became UPND/PF Pact presidential candidate in the 2011 polls.

Maj. Chizyuka accused Mr. Hichilema of having contributed to the failure of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) in the 2006 run-up to tripartite elections.

UDA consisted of Edith Nawakwi’s Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) and the former ruling party United National Independence Party (UNIP) for Tilenji Kaunda.

He charged that time to impeach HH is now because UPND is doomed and going no-where under the leadership of president Hichilema.

He explained that Mr. Hichilema, who was also UDA President in 2006 failed to run the Alliance because he was a visionless leader who was just being used by (PF) leader Michael Sata in the UPND/PF Pact.

And commenting on Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata who vowed that a degree or piece of paper will not stand in the way of his political presidential aspirations, Maj. Chizyuka described the UPND/PF Pact as a failure that is aimed at ‘killing’ the UPND.

The National Constitutional Conference’s (NCC) this week unanimously adopted a clause requiring those aspiring to stand as presidential candidates in future elections to have a degree as a minimum qualification for the top post.

The PF leader has no such qualifications and has described the clause as nonsense and waste of time by individuals suffering from inferiority complex.
