PF has not brought tension in Zambia- Lubinda
TIME PUBLISHED - Monday, November 28, 2011, 4:04 pm

Information Minister Given Lubinda has castigated Lusaka politician and businessman, Benjamin Mwila for suggesting that the country is under extremetension from the time the PF government took office. Mr Lubinda described as misguided and baseless Mr B.Y Mwila’s negative statements carried in Sunday’s Daily Mail Advertorial.

He says at a media briefing that the PF administration has a duty to protect citizens from innuendos that have the potential to send wrong messages about the government and the country. Mr Lubinda wondered which sections of the country are under extreme tension or people that need to be reconciled as alleged by Mr Mwila.

The Minister emphasized that no persons found guilty of corruption will left to go scot free simply because they are former leaders.

Mr Lubinda says Mr Mwila’s claims are a result of personal anguish arising from government’s termination of the former Nchilenge MP’s road contract in Chibombo.

He says Mr Mwila’s firm Wade Adams failed to fulfil contractual obligations for which it has to refund the government billions of Kwacha.

Meanwhile, Mr Lubinda says former President Rupiah Banda will lose his retirement entitlements if he heeds to Mr Mwila’s advice to continue leading the MMD for the next two years.

In his statement, Mr Mwila urged President Michael Sata to help reduce the extreme tension and reconcile the people.

He suggested that the new government should embrace all people even those that voted against the PF in the September 20, tripartite elections.
