Bwalya Fube is upset for not being given a job by President Hakainde Hichilema, says Information and Media minister Chushi Kasanda.
During the launch of his political party, Zambia Must Prosper, Fube charged that the UPND has no clear philosophy nor platform for job creation, and that they do not even have a clear youth agenda or policy, including lacking a clear leadership strategy as everything revolves around one man, kasanda said the UPND was not a one man show.
“The question is how long did we work with him? He was a PF character, isn’t it? How long did we work with him? We worked with him for a very short time. And you see that is why those ones who are not stable, people who are not stable, and I call him not stable because he was PF for a very long time. He left the PF and came and joined the UPND,” Kasanda said. “ And because he was not given any appointment, if you are a genuine UPND member you should be able to stay isn’t it? But he decides to jump out and now he starts making noise. If he was given an appointment do you think he would be making noise?”
She said what Fube was saying was a manifestation of being upset at not being given the job.
“That’s what it is,” said the Chief government spokesperson to Daily Revelation.
Kasanda said the one man show Fube was referring to has a cabinet and advisors and just held the 17th cabinet meeting yesterday, saying there would be no such meetings if it were a one man show.
She said there was no time when President Hichilema made a decision without consulting his ministers.
