In his explanation Mr. Kalaba cited western province where a sports stadium is being constructed by the government. Kalaba, who is also Patriotic Front Member of Parliament, said that should the opposition opt to use under hand methods, the electoral code will police such conduct. The Patriotic Front is fielding Dr. Chilufya Bwalya in the November 22nd 2013 Mansa Central Constituency bye-election, which was left vacant after the death of Mr. Kennedy Sakeni former Minister of Information and Broadcasting. Cue In ====== United Party for National Development (UPND) Livingstone district spokesperson Neto Halwabala has expressed concern at the lack of concern at the wrangles in the ruling patriotic front as a recipe for genocide in the country. Mr Halwabala said the party is shocked that the president Michael Sata failed to direct the police to stop the hooliganism by the fighting PF cadres at state function in Lusaka. He said the hackings and the death could have been avoided if the president was concerned with the peace of the country. He advised the PF to ensure that they hand over a peaceful country to the UPND in 2016 rather than the confusion that they are fueling. He said President Sata is not decided on which camp to support between the GBM and Kabimba team. He said if the cadres cannot tolerate each other within their own party, and furthermore wondered whether they will work with the opposition political parties. And sources who spoke on condition of anonymity said the hackings will continue at state function between the two fighting parties. The source also advised Kabimba to resign on moral ground so that there can be peace in the PF party. They were all speaking in an interview Of late, the ruling Patriotic Front Government has been engulfed in intra-party wrangling which has resulted in two camps belonging to Defense Minister Geofrey Bwalya Mwamba and Justice Minister, Wynter Kabimba. Yesterday, as President Sata and First republican President Dr Kenneth David Kaunda were laying a foundation stone for an ultra-modern KK International Airport extension, cadres within the PF hacked each other within the earshot of the leaders. ========== INTERNATIONAL NEWS Typhoon Haiyan is battering the central Philippines with sustained winds of 314 kilometers per hour.
