Zambians for Empowerment and democracy Leader Fred Mutesa has charged that president Michael Sata has failed to show his political and governmental experience in his governance system.
Dr. Mutesa says the continued changes in the ministry portfolios is a source of concern as it the practice is most likely to cost more at the expense of other developmental programmes.
The opposition leader notes that Zambia has been implementing the public service reforms which have over the years have seen structural changes to suit the operations of the governance system.
Dr. Mutesa who described the recent changes in the ministrys by President Sata as costly experiments, questioned the rationale behind the continuous re-alignment of ministries.
Dr. Mutesa has told QFM that the PF is now reversing to the system that the MMD left after its experiments of trying to make the ministries suit its ill- conceived agenda failed.
He added that the PF stands to miss its opportunity to improve on the MMD record of failing to deliver to the expectations of the Zambian people.
President Sata last week announced the changes in the portfolios of selected ministries which also saw a mini cabinet reshuffle.
The Ministry of Local Government was changed to Ministry of Local Government and Housing with Professor Nkandu Luo carrying on as Minister.The Ministry of Education will now be known as Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education and will be Presided over by Dr John Phiri as Minister.
Additionally, the President transferred Christopher Yaluma to the new ministry to be identified as Ministry of Mines, Energy and Water Development.
Wilber Simusa was made the Minister in-charge of Lands, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection.
President Sata transferred Dr Ngosa Simbyakula from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of Home Affairs as Deputy Minister with a special responsibility of spearheading the creation of district attorneys’ chambers countrywide.
Dr Simbyakula replaced Obvious Mwaliteta who was transferred to Southern Province as provincial Minister taking over from Miles Sampa who was brought to the Ministry of Finance as Deputy Minister.
President Sata also reassigned Finance Deputy Minister Alfreda Kansembe to the Ministry of Justice in the same capacity.

Critics coming from all direction, advice from none. Lets give our president ideas on how things should be done other than criticizing…
Cricitism is advice but knowing fully well that it will be ignored. Why can’t Sata read between the lines and get on with the job? It is difficult teaching an old geriatric monkey new tricks. Sata and PF have failed. They don’t need more time, unless we want a total collapse of Zambia.
my friend if you have not noticed we are in shit with this MCS
my friend if you have not noticed we are in shit with this MCS
who told him that there’s experience in presidency..he will be the most failed president in Zambia..!PF has failed and will not make it..
Dr Mutesa
I trust that you are very leaned. To expect an illiterate guy who never finished grade 7 to run a country is asking to much.
For your own information Chiluba said that the guy was useless. When he was MMD secretary, he failed to produce a single report. One assumes he can not write in English.
Did you know that the PF manifesto is a UNIP cut and paste as none of them could produce one. This time around Zambian backed the wrong tree and are going to pay for it
“Engineer”, your english too, leaves much to be desired! “You Back a horse”; You Bark up a Tree!” Now having explained that, can you please rephrase or paraphrase yourself!!!
Plural for Zambians has an “s” at the end! So which grade did you achieve????
Dr MutesaI trust that you are very learned. To expect an illiterate guy who never finished grade 7 to run a country is asking too much.For your own information Chiluba said that the guy was useless. When he was MMD secretary, he failed to produce a single report. One assumes he can not write in English.Did you know that the PF manifesto is a UNIP cut and paste as none of them could produce one.

@#1 Exhaust brown Diffuser ,How can you give advise to a chisushi,chiwelewele?Empty tin.Grade two drop out,satanist,tribalist,dull,dictator ,womaniser ,etc…
By assuming his none of all that then convince him with facts and figures
i believe we all knew/ know that sata has been a liar throughout his life, truly don’t see/hear anything new from him.
i think critcs are a from of advice but one who fails to take on critics is headed down the drain, as the BIBLE says in PROVBES 12 vs 1 he who love loves knowledge loves being corrected but he who hates correction is a fool so if sata is wise let him learn from the critics
did you at any time give SATA advice of which he declined? or did any person advised him and he turned it down in public? just keep quiet if you have nothing to say
@MARY
There is a whole industry in cyberspace and local media advising your beloved president how to run Zambia. Clearly he cannot read or maybe he is too busy redrawing boundaries of districts and provinces to care. A man of useless action, indeed. He should have had an idea why he wantewd to go to State House, not just to wait for other people to give him good ideas. Other political parties are there to grab power from the incumbent and wait for 2016 when Sata will get his arse kicked.
MARY SHUT UP!
I have said this and i will say it again, a grade 4 policeman can not rule a country. Sata will be the worst president Zambia will ever have.
So RB was better than sata
bachi colour have respect for the president,you like it or not we are in govt .your so called interllectuals have been rejected by us zambians.
@KANYOKULA
Sata will only get the (dis)respect he deserves. You cannot force people to respect a fool. And yes we will be led by a fool until 2016 but that does not mean that we have to shut up. We will continue telling you how foolish he is and what an arsehole he is.
Did Sata himself ever give advise to the ruling Party that time other than mocking & ridiculing. He talked a lot about experience where is it?
If we not selfish and want good for this country we can give suggestions, the only problem is people want him to fail so that they have something to blast him with.Its not about sata but Zambia lets not forget that
PF is on job on trainning,we were mislead on the bases of experience by MCS but now the only experience is hire and fire,anyway we were warned,we have a five years remaining in hell.
@#1 Exhaust brown Diffuser you are right.these other senseless comments coming out of stinking mouths s%ck. SATA was elected to preside over Zambia for 5 solid years. He’s just ruled for less than a year and cockroaches are saying he has failed.it;s like a teacher has only only checked 5/100 questions of your exam and tells you that you have failed.would you agree with such a foolish teacher?this is what *****s here are saying.we all need the economy to develop, we all need jobs for our youths but lets give our PRESIDENT time.He’s not GOD to perform miracles.this is politics and that’s how its done.am not pf neither did i vote for SATA but i do understand what it is to be in that position.thank you
Man, you are so right! Even God is yet to kick butt on earth. I like your 5/100 metaphor.
We knew there was nothing to offer the zambian populace in terms of leadership and his campaign gave us clues.Sata built his electoral platform on painting RB as a foreigner,that there were Zim police brought to zed and other outrageous outbursts.He just wanted to be president even if he came with no ideas.Compare that to Obama who campained on ending wars,fixing the economy and dealing with healthcare.Sata is much like a salaula dealer who thinks he can run a complex department store at the mall.
Problem is Zambian voters do not vote based on issues, like they do in developed countries. Sometimes, quality of leaders is a reflection of quality of voters. It may be so often in Zambia.
Where were people’s priorities placed when they voted for Sata? Surely, it was just desperation and now we are paying for our costly decisions! And to those that oppose to people criticising the government on certain decisions, there is such a thing as ‘constructive criticism’. Only a true leader, who understands that he was put in office by people and therefore he has to serve them, accepts criticism and works to improve on where he has gone wrong.
Starting from KK, with Levy being the only exception, we ought to be worried about the gradual decline, absence, or insufficiency of leadership in Zambia. Until we start to accept the fact that our current short supply of quality leadership has to do most directly with the absence of consensus on national purpose, we are going nowhere as a nation. Sloganeering “One Zambia One Nation”, “Unitary State”, “patriotism” or scare mongering tactics such as the threat of “treason” etc will not save this country from imploding. Only time will tell, watch this space.
How do you expect miracles from a cobra. More than 40 years of dependency on tax payers and such an individual should then give you answers to the nation s challenges eg create employment. UNDER 5 makes a lot of sense. He only lacks political support & drive but has what we need as a nation Economic prowess
#9 Norris, I concur with you. The man with always mocking and calling other people names. When he ascended to power many expected a lot from him. But what we have seen so far is not inspiring, if anything it is disheartening. There is no hope in hell for Zambia for the next four and half years.
#Enka Rasha
I totallly disagree with you on the issue that MCS had no plans for Zambia. I do not know where you have been. Sata had plans 1. about restoring the Barotseland agreement 2. Shaping the economy within 90 days 3. Cleaning the urban streets within 90 days 4. More money in people’s pockets within 90 days. 4. Re-introducing windfall taxes within 90 days 5. Fixing Chinese investments within 90 days 6. Reversing Zamtel and Zanaco sales within 90 days. What more promises do you want, Enka?
@JJP your list is very much what he promised but did he say he will reverse Zamtel and Zanaco sales within 90 days?? Most of the things have not been done on that list, if anything it was only to win peoples votes
@#1 Exhaust brown Diffuser you are right.these other senseless comments coming out of stinking mouths are useless. sata was elected to preside over Zambia for 5 solid years. He’s just ruled for less than a year and cockroaches are saying he has failed.it;s like a teacher has only only checked 5/100 questions of your exam and tells you that you have failed.would you agree with such a foolish teacher?this is what *****s here are saying.we all need the economy to develop, we all need jobs for our youths but lets give our president time.He’s not God to perform miracles.this is politics and that’s how its done.am not pf neither did i vote for Sata but i do understand what it is to be in that position.thank you
i hope this is a lesson to all voters in zambia, let retired people rest in their homes, don’t appoint or elect them into higher positions.
ba lusaka times why ukunchinga?
Meaning what, b!tch?
Zambians are in the habit of voting for wrong people. Someone should do abit of research to find the root cause. Illiteracy also plays a very important part in the way Zambian populace voting especially those in big cities like Lusaka, Ndola and Kitwe. Zambians forget very quickly. A few years ago Sata was busy whiping people who did not vote for MMD in one of the compounds in Lusaka. You know the man is a bully and a dictator and to make matters worse, he is illiterate and the post of president is just beyond his comprehension.GOD is great because he is teaching us a lesson for future generations.
The Reason why Zambians keep voting for the wrong people is that they vote with their Tribes and not with their heads. Try something other than a Bemba if you want progress in Zambia.
The man is old!
DR Muteas is right many zambians thought because Sata brrageed about his experience in government. he was surrely going to turn around the country. but now it is clear that the man is lost. He is know going back to MMD type of ministries. you see kaunda at one point warned zambians, this was again brought up by chiluba………
Yes # 14 i also think that an under 5 is better than a 40 years man experience in eating tax payer’s money. The man (Sata) is indeed a visionless leader, no developmental program for our mighty nation, that is why he only owns 7 guns. No economical forsight & an inmbalancement to mother. Under 5 we are behind you come 2016.
Which experience ? He has never had any before!
@21 i agree with you under 5 is economically sound and maybe be better than an expired chroloquine drug put to clear the malaria in the zambian economy,
He only has one adviser in whom he puts all trust……..Mmembe.
You haters what failure are you talking about there is only one mistake his appointments all the other things are okey lets give the man a breathing space to execute what is in the party manifesto visit the PF website you will find it how do you gauge a man in 5months?
judge n not gauge
Imwe ba mar car car, give the man a chance. Offfer advice and the way forward. It is our country bonse sha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This administration has been in perpetual motion from the time they came into power. The ministers have never settled down to be functional because of changes that have occur at the the drop of a hat! Sata must not take the Zambian people for granted nor underestimate their capacity to change direction if the situation so demands. They have done in the past and they will change this fractious regime that has thrived on being antagonistic or undemocratic principles at best. The die has been cast and the end is near!
Who the hell is mutesa?
Ba Mutesa, an educated man like yourself should know better than to pass immediate judgement on a government ministerial change. Surely, the logical thing would be to wait for time to see whether the changes being made have borne fruit or not. You and General Miyanda, previously in the same party seem to be looking at any opportunity for cheap publicity. You have failed lamentably both of you politically and you seem to be clutching at any straws to stay aloft in the political game at any cost. You are, I believe, worthy more than you are projecting in the media at the moment, please be more objective in your criticism even if it hurts your financial sponsorship.
“Wait for time”, “give him time” – well, 6 months is enough time to know which way a govt is headed. And Sata’s govt is running round in circles. You just had to read Chikwanda’s complaints over the weekend about his fellow ministers to realise that the PF are clueless about their own policies. It is like a bus full of kaponyas giving directions about how to get home when nobody knows where home is. More time will just lead to collapse. Unfortunately, we have no choice until 2016.
sir,i didn.t know that your body gaurd is xuanxui the friend to jetley .cograts dont listen to these underdogs barking go……………………sata we love u.
sata should be impeached for the good of the country.
Its amazing that Sata even managed to F.O.O.L people with PhD’s like this Mutesa.
Chelsea have fired their manager AVB. The club was too big for him. Similarly, running Zambia could be too big for Sata. The man may not have enough depth. Please be praying for Sata so that God can help him. Voters may not have known what they were doing when they put Sata up there. Just like Chelsea board.
Sorry Chelsea fans for using this example. But the truth is, some jobs are not for everyone.
Ministry of Labour, Information, Broadcasting, Environment and Tourism, Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health!!!!! What nonsense is this? Mutesa is right. You reduce the number of Ministries as a cost reduction measure but then you create more provinces, more districts…..The gains from reducing the number of Ministries is simply cancelled off by creating additional districts. Reminds me of an illiterate grade 4 who travels from Lusaka to Mongu to collect K100,000. To reach Mongu, the fool spends K300,000.
With all your knowledge, it is amazing you did not run!
talk until you burst cobra is the president and he will deliver.
He will deliver confusion and stagnation. Zero new ideas, zero progress.
Awe sure imwe – it’s better we try ka under 5 mwe! While other nations advance, we having been going backwards. Bamudaala is just good at spitting vernom – no substance nix.
A boat of dry bones can only produce this waste and worsening you are seeing because its decomposed and no life comes from dry bones. Its a visionless circus regime of kaponyas by kaponyas for kaponyas with clusters of ideas driven by utopia. Patriotism and democratic duty calls for interventionist roles to arrest this cruise into a historic crisis beyond where UNIP left this country.
All you silly critics on this blog, lack a basic understanding of Governance thats why you scream the loudest, who told you that if you speak English ninshi walisambilila shame, look at the chinese the Russians, the Japanese Malays do they learn in English, this is how shallow African Education has been!its still rooted in colonial curriculum,Engineer from Aussie so damn!
I pity you haters that have been hurting since Sep 2011. Such bitterness from your loss. Mukafwa ne ci konko ba kapala. You’ve even developed Hypertension and punished your hearts. You’l just die of a stroke for nothing. Rant and rave as much as you want, guess what ? MCS will still be President when you wake up! Deal with it.. The majority of Zambians, the ones allowed to trade freely on the streets of Lusaka and CB will vote their man back cause they love him. I walked around town on Saturday. Along Cairo, Freedom way, ChaCha, Kwamwala. My heart was lifted to see growing witty unrestricted entrepreneurship. Everyone was alive trading trying to sell somemeting. I saw very fresh fruit and vegies along cha cha selling well. Commerce moves countries. All of u happing are out numbered.
Above 65yrs, ones mental and physical status begin to deteriorate. The older one bcomes the more possessive and problematic!
am collecting signatures on the IRMPIRCHMENT OF SAT.
You don’t need signatures to impeach the president, on which planet are you???
You’ve been spending too much time in internet forums and watching too many reality chat shows, ati collecting signatures!!!
HH WILL NEVER RULE THIS COUNTRY UNTIL ALL THE COWS START VOTING ……
Mwe bena Zambia tondolo musuma go, work and deliver as an individual. Do not expect the President to do everything for you. Wake up and contribute practically to mother Zambia
the changes in the ministry is welcome, now they look better than what sata had done at first which was confusing except he did not need to had “and early Education” just having education is enough, ie. Ministry of Education and Vocational Training. Then ‘Lands, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection’ should have been Lands,Tourism, Environmental and Natural Resources.’
No 40 How far did Tanzania go with Swahili??
Just accept that your president is retarded and illiterate period…
Not fit to obtain a Grade 7 certificate….. Who is going to listen to you in Bemba at the G20, Commonwealth, UN, OAU, etc Did you hear him say something at the ANC celebrations in South Africa? Kaunda had to say something to avoid Zambia being embraced
And for your own information, go to China or Russia and go see how many English teaching school are all over the place.
Forget about the past, now is now and the main problem s that non of mr sata s promises have been fullfilled, except Zamtel, which has scared many investors… We shouldn t blame the president…He s trying his best. I blame the foolish voters… How many times will you be told that vote wise. And why advise the president when he s got the highly specialised ministers to advise him… Let s give him more time, but we r seriously getting impatient
Sweeping UTH clean has nothing to do with running a country. some people are still waiting for a 90 day action which we now know will not come. Zambia will soon enter into self destruction mode unless the Kaponya electorate are taught the fact that talking and insults do not rule the country. The true signs are that the man(MCS) looks humbled by the challenges of Governance and has probably run of ideas already. The only unfortunate thing is that his deputy (Guy Scott) who should be planting maize in Mkushi does not yet know where he is. Clearly talking is easier than doing.? Fight corruption but also do developmental work. The 6.0 inflation is not the work of PF but that of the previous Govt’s foundation. Those who stole and are stealing now should meet the full wrath of the law.
Has any one ever thought about this! When the Kaponyas’ set the agenda of a nation this is what happens….You vote for a rulling party with the Kaponya slogan and development is kaponyalike. This Govt. has been in power for nearly a year now (7 Months)- (Sept to March). Someone needs to see what development has come out. No programme what so ever? “He is not presidential material”, ” He does not know where to put a full stop” Quotes from two former Zambian presidents.The sauce is in the pudding
How do you put Foreign affairs and tourism together. Tourism is an economic sector while foreign affairs is purely diplomacy….Sata has not only failed but is lamentably confused and cannot differentiate between an economic sector and diplomacy..ati experience what experience… experience in confusion and directionless like a headless chicken moving all over the show.A president has never held a press briefing to answer questions to journalist…he is lost.At kanituntila had the courage to conduct press briefings and take questions from the public.
Kabimba is now Chairman of ZAMTEL. Indeed the PIG is back with full strength. Actually he should have been made Governor of ZAMTEL. The future of Zedi is in the hands of the Lord.. period.
Fred Mmembe is a “good” advisor.
Blame him not my beloved leader.
Experience is nothing in politics, you must have intellectual gravitas. Look at the caliber of leaders in the Western world. They are young, smart and confident. Let’s move away from all these Northern Rhodesians and elect the first Zambian as president.
Mary No.11
Please note that in exams,questions do not carry equal marks.For example,questions 1 to 5 might be carrying 60% of the total marks in that exam.It is therefore true that if you fail to answer the first five questions,the teacher will definitely be spot on when he tells you that you have failed.Sata’s main promises he made during his campaign was to restore the Barotse Agreement,create jobs and ensure that his neighbors ( people of Zambia ) do not go without food in 90 days of his coming to power. Has he achieved this as promised?By the way nobody forced him to give such ridiculous time frame.So do not blame those who are reminding him about his FAKE promises.
No 57
Thats the problem with Africans the prefer to be fooled. Told lies and then say lets give him time. This man man promises to people. No one forced him and he simply must deliver what he said. Obama said he will pull out of Iraq. He has done it. He keeps being reminded about all the promises he made. Like the say you can take a village from the village but you can not take the village out of him. This man thought he was heading a village … this is a country bwana. You need a little bit of brains to be president.
This is interesting so # 17 you are saying out 6 plans that MCS committed himself to, he has only achieved reversing Zamtel within 90 days. Maybe this explains why he could not go further than Sub B at school his performance must have been very bad, he used to get 1 out 10 and ended up a Cop, platform sweeper, yet Zambians regarded him as presidential material. Mupya mudzi
I am not sure why experience came into play, since Sata had little to show for this. Only cleaning a city is not enough to be a president. I feel for him, as he will not realize soon that people are campaigning as it will be 2015. think of it this way, next year we shall all be talking African Cup of nations, then World Cup. Ba Sata and PF supporters pls do not fail to listen and act now before your own Dochi Kubeba turns around, for sure in your case you shall be told.
Sata has failed. He has called UN chief Ki Moon to kick off his homo sexuallity promise to divert the mind of Zambians from his nose diving leadership. Look at how his cabinet is behaving like pigs which can eat anything they see. Try and error mettod has failed. Grade 7 failure from Chilonga Seminary is sweating blood. His mission was not o serve the people but only to confuse them and bring disunity while he waits for a prsidential burrial.
Its unfair to judge His Excellency Mr Micheal Sata and his government over a space of 6 months, next month is April the PF budget comes into play, you will start enjoying the benefits beautiful Zambian people.
Please ignore those two loud gongs in the name of SENIOR CITIZEN and bitter side kick The Engineer (Australia). Why don’t you furnish us with your comments when there is a positive article about the government?
Iam now begining to admit that Sata is good to be in the oppostion and not to lead a country, too many unplanned things so far….
Sata should not be blamed for his failure. He did not put himself in Statehouse. Zambians ushered him there. They did with full knowledge of who he was. Has he changed? NO. He had no idea who would be in his cabinet because the party was his alone. NO PARTY CARDS!!!! The strategy was to destroy the opposition and rule as a sole candidate or dictator. Just think of what happened at their conference — the first one after the party was in exisistence for how long? It is good Mr Sata is in office, the Zambians are in civic education classes.
@The Engineer (Australia) i am enjoying your postings. for most of us that actually read the manifesto for PF we labelled it a UNIP copy. only those who did not read it are surprised by the posture of our economy under PF. if you are old enough just picture 1980-90. well that is where we are heading i shi.t you not.
1 USD = 5,450
Ambi and cleartone model
advsising a mad man is like advising a stone. Grambling to a stone is being unwise
Maybe we should try Dr. Mutesa! lol! I think that is what he is telling us!
The old bally is just campainging
Experience is the ability to learn lessons from past
situations and apply them in a given context. Experience is not an obvious capability in a person! The question is; has Sata got the capacity to learn from his so-called past political and government experience? I dont think so!
Can you imagine a president creating a ministry such as —– Ministry of Mines, Energy and Water Development, is this normal? Mines, Energy & Water are huge sectors and linchpins of the Zambian economy, how do you put them in one ministry? Zambia is really in a mess!
No 65 You need to look at the top PF management team
Sata : Station sweeper, Constable (standard 2)
Guy Scott : Junior Research Officer Bank of Zambia (survived only from inherited money)
Chikwanda : Finance minister 1970’s (known to be computer illiterate)
Bob Sichinga : Self proclaimed Economic Consultant (fired several times for incompetency)
Winter : Lawyer LCC (never won a case before)
Kabwili : Luanshya Call Boy
GBM : unknown education
Shamenda : junior secondary school
The list is endless
Thats is the dream team managing the country
This is really sad indeed, under five should just start preparing himself
Do you expect this team to understand what Fitch is saying when the say Zambia has been down graded from “Stable” to ” Negative”?
Its music to their ears…
#30 Italian Bunga Bunga (Original) and # 62 Maxwell. Your suggestion to give Sata more time to prove his competency to rule the nation with his promises is short sighted in your immagination. You praised Sata and called him sarviour of Zambia- what a shame for you to hold that niew. Even villagers are wondering what Sata is up to. As for Maxwell, people can only comment positely when something positive is done, so far nothing about Sata except taking Zambia backwards. Comment positively and tell us what’s positive with PF govt.
@#11
Thank you, you’re wise lady
The UN should just close this country and evacuate everyone died or alive ,lesbian or gay, sheman or hewoman ))lol
The moral of the story is that; if you have dementia, there is no way your experience is going to count. You will have forgotten everything.
Sometimes I feel like we are foolish and stupid. A lot of people voted for sata that we all know has humble education and now we are busy castigating him, I think its not fair! what we need now to do is advise his men and probably blast them up- the likes of the Phiri, Sichinga and many more ‘educated’ guys in the system that they advise HE sata to act accordingly or they boycott so we can impeach the president and get someone of average education but intelligent like Lubinda to lead us and get somewhere.We need sanity now! Insulting him won’t get us anywhere. All those that are insulting the president goes to show how simple minded they are. Let’s get educationally organised. Accept defeat lest we forge ahead. Insults or hatred wont help us. OWN UP GUYS!
Criticising leaders is the order of the day in Zambia, one wonders if the entire population is on the opposition side. We need brains of wisdom to advice the president, but unfortunately none and it makes me wonder if the entire country has no wise people. It is easy to criticize that to give advice and we can see this in Dr. Mutesa who we think is educated and should know how to constructively critisize the President. While I can partially agree with what he is saying, he should critisize with the intention of bringing a solution to the table. From a person of his caliber, I expected him to bring a solution to this constant change of ministries.
During the rule of late Mwanawasa Zambians never criticised his policies because they made a lot of sense and growth was seen and fighting corruption was positive and it began with state house itself with late Chiluba to account for corruption activities while head of state. Economic growth was registered and positive work attitude in govt began to be noticed unlike in Sata’s govt. Sata is the only one who criticised late Mwanawasa because of the alledged family tree concoction, propagated by M C Sata. Today PF cadres are pleading more time, Sata is not tribal and hasn’t got any family tree. My way, this liar has appointed all his relatives and others are co-head of state with him. What a shame.
Mary #11, you are being simplistic and out of context. You cant compare national leadership and politics to a school exam. The politics and national leadership affect the lives of people. And secondly, the damage that bad or incompetent leaders takes ages to repair. That is why commonsense demands that once you begin to notice indicators of extreme poor leadership in a leader, such as we are beginning to see in Sata, alarms should be sounded. Its a pity that many people in Zambia are now complaining against Sata`s poor leadership style—and yet Zambian people were warned by those that worked closely with Sata including —Kaunda, Chiluba etc.
LT post me the full copy of Dr.Rodger Chongwe report so that I get informed.Why is it that Postnewspaper is releasing bits and pieces of the same and claiming its confidential.I feel mis-informed by this state of affairs.Please find and post that report.I can not trust the para-phrased Postnewspaper versions
@Mary, Clive Chanda, Maxwell, Italian Bunga Bunga. You guys I really don’t know which planet you live on.Our President had being bragging that he had the all the experience to run the country. How long long are you folks going to realize that the man has no clue where governance is concerned. to make matters worse he is surrounded by mostly kaponyaz ofcourse with the exception of Alexander Chikwanda who has a sound track record. Zambian will learn a bitter lesson for the ‘mistake’ they made. The writing is on the wall.
Every day everyl day, ifili mu kalukobo tapali nangu chimo kano fi stinking tribal appointments, useless reshuffles, threatening chiefs and motor-mouthing lies. Ubuchende pa musana nabo awe sure bullwele.
If after 10 years in opposition Sata has no idea where to place his cadres in government, do you think he has any idea what to do with the country for the next 5? We are clearly in a stewing pot of sh!t!
Unemployment, corruption, incompetence, no medicines in clinics, FRA is failing to pay famers, etc. Total failure.
Experience in tribalism and coruption is no experience at all. Sata is not experienced. Kaunda and Chiluba told the zambians what Sata is capable of doing: NOTHING. But zambians did not get the message because they did not like the messengers. Elo lwanya.
who is this guy mutesa?
Nothing excellency abt sata but we should call him His mediocre-ness chilufyanya satana HMCS
Tonga balls and all you MMD and UPND failures you will cry and moan until heaven opens. You Australian Engineer, what have ever designed you fool, you are ever on the lusakatimes posting foolish comment you son of a pig and I wonder what time do you get to work.

Simple advice: 1.Take 50 Zambian experts in the diaspora
from education, health, finance, agriculture, construction, IT, engineering….!
Better still those who have published books and international papers in their fields, while others were shouting slogans and take them into Zambia. 2. Take 25 local experts and put these two groups together to evaluate Zambian programmes. Listen to their advice after 30 days of studying programmes and projects in Zed.This Zedian thing of pakamwa (mouth) should stop. It will be a worthwhile investment, trust me!!!
That is Pa Fwaka Party for you. You cannot substitute education with experience. The world economy today needs education. Ask MCS what is inflation? you will be shocked
