Baby Cobra Disparages Hichilema President Michael Sata’s press aide George Chellah let out his juvenile political education get the better of him by uttering disparaging remarks against United Party for National Development President Hakainde Hichilema for merely questioning why State House had been secretive about the Head of State’s holiday destination. Chellah, who never loses a moment to vilify the UPND leader, parroted words uttered by former President Rupiah Banda in describing Post Newspapers editor Fred M’membe. Banda had described M’membe as a “queer and morbid man” and Chellah could not resist regurgitating this phrase. Below is a statement from the highest office in the land: STATE HOUSE RESPONDS TO HICHILEMA LONDON, Monday, February 3, 2014 – STATE HOUSE- UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema is a morbid and queer man whose purpose to run for public office is anchored on vicious circles of tribalism and racism, slogans of hatred and death wishes for his political competitors. Mr. Hichilema is an abominable leader who craves to see pain and anguish in others with the hope of getting to the top. This is typical of him, he is the proverbial ‘merchant of death’, the man who takes pride in wishing others ill or death. Therefore, his utterances on the whereabouts of the President do not surprise us because when everybody including himself were on holiday with their families during the festive season and the Head of State was busy sacrificing by working throughout this period, it never mattered to him. But now that the President has taken his vacation, he wants to infuse his cheap schemes to gain political mileage out of a genuine moment of rest for the Head of State. We thank God the Zambian people don’t see him going far and have realized that his divisive politics of hate, tribalism and racism pays no dividends and are now shunning him. Indeed, Mr. Hichilema is a frightened little man who has realized that he is carrying the burning sun on his back especially with the UPND’s dwindling political fortunes, but wants to disguise his leadership failures through reckless, alarming and abdominal utterances over the President’s health. We urge him to stop being childish and petty-minded. His attempt to engage the Presidency on trivial demands like whether the President is indeed in the United Kingdom or not, barely 24 hours after State House confirmed is out rightly ridiculous. This level of self- centeredness and desperation should be avoided by leaders especially those seeking public office. We must respect our systems of governance instead of embarrassing ourselves on the international platform through such empty and petty political discourse.
