Mr Mundubile was referring to a recent fracas caused by UPND cadres who stormed Lundazi District hospital where a Member of Parliament was making a donation to the hospital.
The medical officer who allowed the donation has allegedly been transferred and Mr. Mundubile said, the PF would not tolerate such caderism but would ensure it defends such civil servants at all costs.
“The UPND want to show that they are angels in the eyes of the Zambian people but they are now victimizing workers who are doing their job to serve the nation.
Why should the cadres call the transfer of a senior officer? Zambians are seeing what these people are doing,” he said.
Meanwhile Mr. Mundubile said, Zambians should tighten their belts as most of them were likely to face severe hunger following a reduction in the crop production this season.
He said, the fact that the UPND government was offering K280 for a 50kg bag of maize from K180 last season was an indication that there was insufficient maize in the country.
He said, late delivery of fertilizer whose quality was also questionable could not assure Zambians of increased production this season.
