President
Micheal sata says the attacks by opposition MMD president Dr Nevers mumba that
appointing of some of his party members of parliament as deputy ministers is
like obliterating the opposition in the country as deliberate distortion of
facts.
In
response to Dr mumba’s letter date July 11, 2012, titled preservation of
democracy, President Sata in his letter dated 20th July says it is
shameful that Dr Mumba has come out guns blazing on the matter which he
embraced only a few years ago simply because it prompted direct benefits to him.
He
says it is frankly staggering to envision, let alone think, that this
dishonesty, deliberate distortion of facts and acute appetite to cause
confusion in the governance of the country is emanating from a well known man
of the collar.
President
sata says it is even worse that Dr mumba has deliberately chosen to betray Zambian
people through premeditated acts of twists and fixes in order to gratify the
self esteem.
He
has questioned Dr Mumba’s conscience over the matter of appointing members of
the opposition to save as deputy ministers stating that dr mumba’s is not the
right person to comment over this matter looking and remembering his nomadic
political history.
President
sata has stated that as politicians him and dr mumba have a role to play in
moving the country forward adding that opposing for the sake of just opposing
will be immoral and since the party manifesto states that it shall fight
corruption and bring about integrity in politics.
He
has underlined that his government is determined to preside over the affairs of
this country in a reconciliatory and inclusive manner adding that he is glad dr
mumba has agreed that the appointments are in line with the constitution of Zambia.
President
sata says as a head of state he will never turn back from Zambians who offer
themselves for public service regardless of their political affiliation.
He saya Zambia is bigger than any politician in
the country including the president and the earlier dr mumba and the opposition
grasped the fact, the better for the country
