KATELE CALLS MILES THE SMALL SNAKE IN THE GRASS
KATELE CALLS MILES THE SMALL SNAKE IN THE GRASS
Veteran politician and former Minister of Finance Dr. Katele Kalumba has responded to Miles Sampa who is in Alliance with UPND:
Some people mistake proximity to power for stature, and political inheritance for wisdom.
I have no quarrel with those who defend their patron. But when a small political player, elevated by proximity and family connections, presumes to lecture a man who has served the Republic at the highest levels, the appropriate response is not anger. It is dismissal.
I owe gratitude to God for my life and to the Constitution for my rights. I owe no politician my conscience.
If speaking against abductions, intimidation, torture, state capture and the suppression of constitutional freedoms is called betrayal, then I accept the label without apology.
A small snake in the grass does not become a statesman because it happens to be close to the throne. It remains what it is—quiet, calculating and treacherous, until it reveals itself
History will not remember who shouted the loudest for power. It will remember who had the courage to speak when speaking was dangerous.
Let the people decide. Let God have the last word. Freedom and Peace in mother Zambia.
