NO TRIBAL SUPREMACY IN PF, SAYS KENNEDY KAMABA

By SIMON MUNTEMBA THERE is no tribal supremacy in PF and the ‘One Zambia One Nation’ motto is upheld in proclamation, PF Lusaka Province chairperson, Kennedy Kamba has said. Mr Kamba said the ruling party was committed to the democratic ideologies, inclusiveness and good governance values. He said in an interview yesterday that the party considers all human beings as God’s creation and equal as demonstrated by the members of Central Committee that were elected from all parts of the country. As a ruling party, he said, the PF has shown the country that it is the beckon of peace, unity and inclusiveness.  “We are happy that today in the PF, we have members of the central committee who are relatively new but have vast knowledge on politics and national service. We take pride in the fact that that the party knows no race or tribe and looks at all human beings as God’s creations and equal,” Mr Kamba added. He also congratulated President Edgar Lungu, the old and new members of the ruling party’s Central Committee for holding a successful general conference. Mr Kamba said the conference was a clear demonstration of how the party has remained intact since its formation by late founding President Michael Sata and how it has managed to uphold his legacy after his demise. He expressed gratitude that his party has continued to enjoy cordial relations with progressive opposition political party leaders such as Edith Nawakwi, Wynter Kabimba and Chishimba Kambwili who is one of the founder members of the PF. He said people should not even get surprised to see Mr Kambwili attend a PF function because he will always be part of the family. He appealed to Zambians to reject politicians that thrived on tribal supremacy and divisive groupings.
