Chilufya Tayali currently featuring on Zambian Eye Hot Seat programme says:
President Lungu is still appointing he has not finished, so we can’t speak in the past taste, may be ask if he gives me a job will I take it? No, that is why I have announced my intentions of forming a party even before it is registered otherwise I would have had the temptation to getting the job if he had given me a job.
Go back and read my articles during campaigns, I told people that my support for President Lungu was not a blank cheque.
Iam not a fool or cheap to be bought by K10,000 from their millions out corruption. Neither can I trade my name “Chilufya Tayali” with a govt job. They say, a good name is better than silver.
Many Zambians, including me, voted on compromise while others just absconded because they had no confidence in the menu of leaders we had on the ballot paper.
I want to give people another alternative in 2021, therefore I have decided to bring Movement for Economic Development and Equity (MEDE ) as party with new ideas, new way of doing politics (not violence and insults but truth) and of course New governance which will be based on restoring human dignity.
