Miles Sampa
The ruling Patriotic Front has dismissed claims by Democratic front President Miles Sampa that his party has the support of some Ministers in government.
PF Deputy Spokesperson Frank Bwalya says the ruling party is familiar with such kind of politics which are typically perpetrated by politicians who form small political parties with no following.
He says the hope of such kind of politicians is usually that some naive people would believe them, and eventually become their party members.
In interview by telephone, Father Bwalya has wondered how Mr. Sampa can claim that he is working with some Ministers in government when he himself failed to become a Cabinet Minister.
Father Bwalya adds that he thinks late President Michael Sata who was also Mr. Sampa’s uncle did not did not elevate him because to a full Cabinet Minister because he realized that there was more his nephew had to learn to handle such responsibilities in government.
And Father Bwalya has maintained that the ruling party has nothing to do with the attack on Mr. Sampa’s supporters who had gone to welcome him at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe International Airport in Ndola.
Father Bwalya says this is particularly that an instruction was issued to all PF members to leave Mr. Sampa alone following his resignation.
