Former PF Director of Media and Publicity Brian Hapunda has dispelled as a concocted voice play back a phone conversation between him and Ephraim Shakafuswa of United Party for National Development (UPND) which has gone viral on social media.
Mr. Hapunda says he was in Lusaka at the time President Edgar Lungu was leaving the country for the UN General Assembly in New York.
He also notes he still enjoys a very good relationship with PF secretary General Davies Chama, State House Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Chilubanama and State House presidential Political Advisor Kaizer Zulu.
In a statement made available to Qfm news, Mr. Hapunda has expressed sadness that his name is being used by other people to fight the trio.
In a 9 minute detailed conversation between Hapunda and UPND Lusaka Province Youth League Co-coordinator Ephraim Shakafuswa, Hapunda can be heard briefing Shakafuswa on President Edgar Lungu’s Special Assistant for Political Affairs Kaizer Zulu, State House Permanent Secretary Emmanuel Chilubanama and PF Secretary General Davies Chama whom he claims were partly responsible for his firing.
And Patriotic Front Secretary General Davies Chama has told QFM news that the party will take action after an investigation is done and facts are established.
Mr. Chama says it is presently difficult to know who is telling the truth when one who is allegedly in a conversation.
