Lungu promises to build a stadium and university in Kasama

13726672_2051109228448248_1876693353582318592_nRepublican President Edgar Lungu has promised to build a stadium and university in Kasama district in Northern Province.

Speaking when he addressed a campaign rally at Kasama gold club this afternoon, president Lungu has also promised to upgrade Kasama General Hospital.

He however pointed out that a stadium is a huge capital project that requires careful planning and plenty of resources and warned Kasama residents not to listen to political leaders who are promising to a lot in a short time.

And Lungu launched a series of personal attacks on UPND presidential running mate and immediate past Kasama MP, Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, calling him a bully and spouse abuser.

The Head of State also claimed GBM was a hijacker of political parties whose only goal was to take over the leadership of the UPND, after failing to do so with the Patriotic Front (PF) last year.

Lungu told thousands of supporters that turned up for the rally that in 2006 GBM was in MMD and after losing the to Given Lubinda in Kabwata he joined PF with a view of being adopted as their candidate in the parliament by-election in Kasama Central following the resignation of Dr. Saviour Chishimba, after which he was adopted by the PF.

He said while in PF as Minister of Defence, GBM always promoted his own interest, adding that he only left the party after it became clear the people did not want him.

“After his intentions to succeed Mr Sata failed, he resigned as a Minister. Following the death of Mr Sata he came to be PF Presidential candidate but I thumped him and he went to join UPND.

“His intention is to hijack UPND from Hakainde Hichilema after August 11, 2016 General elections when we beat them. But he is a bully who enjoys hooliganism and hate speech. He is boastful but is that a leader you want to preside over you?” he asked.
