Stop Paying Kaunda Benefits – Msoni Political activist Nason Msoni says there is an emergence of a tribal cabal in the ruling Patriotic Front that is running power in the ruling party. Msoni said the emergence of what he terms Muchinga Mafia style gangster national politics was being presided over by President Michael Sata. And the outspoken politician says President Kaunda’s benefits should be withdrawn for his partisan statements that he made at a PF rally against the opposition. “The birth of the Muchinga Mafia style gangster in our national politics is a very worrisome and fearful development as it is up to no-good,” Msoni said. “We think this is the group that is responsible for inciting and igniting power wrangles that are ravaging and consuming the PF and is also responsible for vetting and making tribal appointments.” He said, “It is disturbing to note that all government lucrative contracts are held and controlled by the Muchinga Mafia gang that is responsible for re-distribution to family tribal cartels and allies. We think this is unfortunate and dangerous situation which undermines the principle and spirit of shared responsibilities and equal opportunities for all our citizens.” Msoni said President Sata was at the centre of the clique that was running the power game. “It is Sata the ‘Kingpin’ of tribalism himself who needs to act and stop this Mafia gangster and denounce it and then reconcile and ask for forgiveness from the Zambian people who are hurting with his blatant tribalism which has rekindled the ugly forces of mistrust and bitterness amongst the peace loving Zambian people,” he said. “His behavior as President has been far less satisfactory than expected of any person sitting in that office which is a collective embodiment of the Zambian people. Clearly he is undeserving and noteworthy of the esteem and honor associated with the office of President by all account going by his conduct and behavior.” He said, “It is wrong for the kingpin of tribalism who is the bonafide perpetrator of tribalism to talk about reconciliation without convincing himself first on the need to reform and denounce tribalism.” He said President Sata could never be missed for the tribalism he was fanning in the country. “Certainly we will never miss this man and his tribalism for bringing our country on the verge of a tribal revolution,” he said. “We are deeply troubled to note that Zambia’s first President Kenneth Kaunda finds comfort to be amongst those causing extreme heartache and championing to exonerate those practicing tribalism is most unfortunate for the former first Zambian President.” He said: “We think government should immediately stop paying Dr.Kaunda benefits for engaging himself in partisan politics and attacking opponents of President Sata. Surely what’s good for the goose should also be good for the gander.” zambiareports/2013/10/25/stop-paying-kaunda-benefits-msoni/
