PF faction chairperson Charity Banda says even if her ally Miles Sampa has not been given a ministerial appointment by President Hakainde Hichilema, at least he has the freedom of movement as opposed to those who thought they would take over power.
Banda said Sampa was never promised a ministerial position when he joined hands with President Hichilema in the August 13, 2026 general elections.
He said it was not compulsory that every alliance partner who worked with President Hichilema should get a ministerial appointment. Banda said they were just happy that two leaders from the alliance partners, in Felix Mutati and Charles Milupi, were given ministerial appointments.
”Miles is more than happy that UPND won. He has got freedom of movement. We didn’t want riflufs to take over power,” Banda said. “Ati nababatana inchito (they are saying Miles has been overlooked for a ministerial appointment), that’s just stupidity. It’s not just about jobs. And Miles is not the only one not to be appointed. How many UPND people have been given jobs?”
Banda continued: “It’s not by fire by force that one should be appointed. At least he has the freedom of movement. Those others who were thinking they would take over power, where are they?”
