EASTERN Province PF publicity secretary Mung’omba Ngoma has said President Rupiah Banda’s stubbornness in most national issues is slowly killing the nation and will one day lead to total chaos. In an interview on Monday, Ngoma said the electorate were upset with President Banda’s style of leadership.

“It is surprising that RB cannot get the message from voters even when the MMD government has been losing by-elections which is a clear indication that electorate are upset with his government. But it seems RB will do everything possible to cling to power even when people say no to his style of leadership. RB should learn from world leaders like US President Barrack Obama,” Ngoma said.

“He doesn't want to take the blame even when people like George Mpombo and Magande are telling him to look at his style of leadership which is killing innocent Zambians who are going without employment out there,” said Ngoma.

“Surely, he can't take the blame even when his government is trying to protect Chinese criminals who shot innocent Zambians for subjecting them to poor conditions of service. His government can't take the blame even when thugs like Chiko Chibale are coming out in the open threatening violence against innocent people like Bishop Duffy of Mongu Diocese.
