President Michael Sata

President Michael Sata this morning refused to receive the report of the Commission of Inquiry constituted to investigate the purchase of a farm in Lusaka and the financing of the Zambia National Building Society Central Arcades project by the National Pensions Scheme Authority (NAPSA).

This was after the commission chairperson Sebastian Zulu who is also Justice Minister failed to show up and instead delegated his vice Ngosa Simbyakula to present the report.

President Sata during the less than five minute event noted that he had appointed Mr.Zulu as the chairperson of the commission of inquiry and therefore would not receive the report from any other person.

President Sata who quickly stopped the permanent secretary for administration at Cabinet office Anne Sinyangwe from introducing the commission members said he was disappointed that the commission chairperson failed to show up.

He said a lot of dust had been swept under the carpet on the NAPSA investigations by the commission.

Meanwhile, Permanent Secretary for administration at Cabinet office Anne Sinyangwe this morning shocked journalists when she informed them that her office will begin to regulate the attendance of the media at State house functions.

In an apparent vent of anger at the innocent journalists after President Sata lashed out at her office for failing to bring the chairperson of the NAPSA commission of inquiry to present the report, Mrs. Sinyangwe claimed that the room that was being used to host functions has become too small to accommodate all the journalists that attend statehouse assignments.

However, the room has from time immemorial been used for state house functions and has always accommodated journalists who are accredited by the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS).

Mrs. Sinyangwe is of the view that ZANIS will be used to cover state house who will in turn distribute stories to all the media houses.

The Journalists especially from the private media complained at this turn of events noting that most of these government officials were not there when the media covered President Sata during the time he was in opposition for them to stop them from covering state house functions.

  2. This is not a regime normal patriots compromise their conscious to serve in. I beat you, Sebastian Zulu must start preparing for termination from this regime because a letter of his firing has already prepared. Professionals do not have a day in this regime but cheerleaders. This is why smart Zambian professionals keep alienating this unsymmetrical regime because its too unpredictable and lacking a systemic approach.

  3. There goes the dictator. Are these cracks developing in the administration? How does he know that a lot of dust has been swept under the carpet even before he reads the report? Is it then evident that the outcomes of these money consumning CoI are predetermined?

  4. ‘He said a lot of dust had been swept under the carpet on the NAPSA investigations by the commission.’

    So he knows everything? Why then did he institute the COI? Real circus!

  5. Oh i understand why the chairman did not show up. Yesterday, when he was submitting another report, the preseident said the report was useless because it was protecting Dora. How could he go there today for another public shout? Shame! These guys are too old and must behave like mature people!

  10. Seb Zulu has forgotten the plot – write a report that pleases Michael Sata and you’re the best, any other outcome and you’re rubbish. On the journalists, are they trying to censor the news that we hear. This is seriously worrying and MISA or whoever should immediately take Anne Sinyangwe to task over this issue.

  11. Dictators want to hear what they want. In dictatorship societies there are plenty of people that know it’s a dictatorship raving on their conscious, but few are ready to build a change critical mass. Dependents cannot be counted on to openly crusade politics of sanity and institutionalization, while others will make sure it’s only in a room with curtains drawn and door locked.

  12. Mulekosa, probably zulu was bought to cover up some issues. Lets go captain of the ship when everyone is not on your side GOD IS WITH YOU BA SATA. man of the poor people.

  13. Throughout history we learn that these short-lived dictators come into power when the economy is down, having convinced people that they are all about “change.” This is exactly what Hitler did. He pitted the ultra conservatives who supported him against the ultra liberals who were supporting socialism. He subtly exploited the media with lies — even Time Magazine billed him as “Man of The Year.” Stalin, a ultra liberal, too exploited fear and the economy. Stalin is a classic example of how going so far to the left, you end up on the right but dangerously as we are are seeing under this leadership curse Zambia has found herself under.  

  14. This isn’t a serious president. It’s baffling to see how the post newspaper has changed. Sata has totally become a dictator. Mr. Zulu should just resign and leave these *****s. Youths need to start fighting these dictators. I love my country and the citizens have worked hard for this beautiful country. Lord, why did you take Levy from us? Why did you make Banda lose? This is an authoritarian regime. Look at tribalism and lack of knowledge, the wife acts as though shes’s not a doctor, omg!! 

  15. @11 so wat

    are you on some potent stuff or what? Who is the man of the poor people? Keep wishing and good luck in your hope.

  17. Sebastian Zulu is in Malawi attending Mutharika funeral. And there is no single way Sebastian can be fired by Sata, let me tell that you evil expectant.

    • If Zulu is attending a funeral in Malawi, how then did Sata expect him to be there to hand him the Report? These people (Ministers) can no longer travel without permission from their superiors as far as I know. They are on diplomatic passports and those things are not for personal errands baba (depending on how they are gotten, obviously). However, if what you say is true, things are falling apart in this country.

    • am sorry to tell you that i will be surprised if zulu survives in his current portfolio. he has already accused his minister and the COI of sweeping things under the carpet. this country has become shameful to talk about. thanks to the prtesident

  19. Dictators rule with fear and intimidation. A big key though is giving the people something they want. Unless you unscript dictatorship, some people are willing to overlook illegitimate means to an end if the alternative has not been distinguished. 

  21. Why does the president fail to get results he wants from the people he has appointed?  This is pure incompetence.  How come even his own ministers, let alone independent professionals like Dr Rodger Chongwe, cannot deliver to his pre-determined results?  This shows lack of management ability.  Mr Zulu was trying to avoid another verbal lashing but his boss will not have it any other way.  Abambo aZulu, it is best to walk away from this poisoned chalice of a job with your professional pride still intact.  Otherwise you will be completely worn out and grovelling by the end of your career, with no respect from anybody in the country.  If you are such a bumbler, how come you are still Justice Minister?

  22. Why not comment after they read the report…..this is so wrong . Tax payers money wasted…do you think the ministers will table this in cabinet? If the do wont SATA refuse from the onset. I would rather be a commner than work in the PF Govt total rubbish.

  23. It is content of the report which matters and not the oral presenter. I am left to wonder why H.E. MC Sata rejected the report.

  24. Zambia needed a real dictator not as cooperative as MCS who even allows people to stand against him.We need someone who fires ministers,directors and others when they cannot do their job

  25. Sata is running a totalitarian regime where he has absolute power; it is evident from his language that the current Zambian government is run in a centralized and dictatorial way. It is clear from Sata’s language that he requires Zambian citizens (especially those who depend on him for hand-outs) to be in complete subservience to the state. In addition to guile, Sata now has unlimited money to blackmail and threaten his own ministers. Those of us paying our own bills and meeting need from hard earned money are somewhat lucky that we are not under the jurisdiction of Sata’s horrible regime.

  26. Can someone enlighten me? Was this going to be a press conference or a ceremony to receive the S.Zulu COI report? The ‘event took less than 5 mins’! Was there an agenda at all or the presido got so upset with the absence of ba Zulu that he cancelled the state house event? Those with more info. please tell us.

  28. Good! If the report is not satisfactory, it must be rejected. In industry if you submit a report which is not factual, you get dismissed. MCS is not being dictatorial. He is just doing his job. And who tells you that when the president appoints a commission of inquiry, he doesn’t know something about the matter? He is head of state with a complete army of ba tifitifi who know the deepest details about issues. The appointment of commissions of inquiry is done to make official, what is already known to the president. So MCS already knows when a commission of inquiry has swept issues under the carpet. Obama knew where Bin Laden was hiding-informed by the CIA.

  29. Sata is getting out of hand mwe…..I am sure he was informed of Zulu’s not attending the function with good reasons. He would have postponed the event through his press relations assistant prior to the meeting….this is not acceptable treating other in the way

  30. MCS is the chief executive of Zambia my friends. You do not submit a report demanded of you to the CEO through a third party. It does not happen in industry, it must not happen when the CEO is the president of the country, period.

  32. What can one say really? These are the hardest times in Zambia. I foresee people ditching their posts because of this unbecoming attitude from the president. Problem is that our president has no diplomacy at all!

  33. Sata has clearly lost the plot…Sata is using or misusing criticism as a motivational tool which always proves futile because it just puts a person on the defensive, wounds his/her precious pride, hurts his/her sense of importance, and just arouses RESENTMENT.
    Sata has the audacity to publicly criticise his ministers yet he is forgetting that he is the one who hand picked the selfsame people to head these COIs…even wise football managers rarely humiliate the players on TV as it is counter productive. Sata also has pending questions to answer regarding his whereabouts last month and BA64 but he would rather use his 5 minutes to humiliate a highly learned subordinate in public. 
    I wouldn’t in million years want to trade places with Zulu or any of the PF ministers NO WAY.

  37. Zulu has hard earned degrees . HOW would you expect a man like that to take insults from a semi literate? How could Seba present himself before a man who call him useless? Zambia! Where To ?

  38. Zambia is officially under autocratic rule. Please don’t be fooled, many dictators hold the formal title of “President”, but wield extraordinary powers. Here are some the indicators of a thriving dictatorship:
    1. Concentration of power in the hands of a few 
    2. Intolerance of opposition
    3. Press censorship
    4. Outlawing opposition parties (MMD party deregistered)
    5. Firm control over the legal system(Questionable DPP appointed)
    6. Prosecution & persecution of political opponents e.g. MMD
    7. Few avenues for ordinary people to change the system

    • Actually that’s imaginative. Zambians born after KK have no idea what autocracy is. You still have a forum to issue critique, MMD are still covered even in Daily Mail & Times of Zambia. I do not remember PF getting any word out back then. Be objective. Stop being like Winter Kabimba!!!

  40. ZAmbia is really earning itself serious embarassment instead of dignity.Can any one predict the future of zambia? Maybe I can try. All ministers will resign and we shall only remain with the president.

  41. How does the President know the contents of the report before it is presented?! Excuse my ignorance, could please someone explain to me what the President Sata meant by saying dust has been swept under the carpet by the commission?? How does he know this?

  42. Why should another person submit da report instead of the chairperson?Really zambians should be educated.I feel sorry for some Zambians who lack education.The president was right,period.It happens in companies where we work.Just that Most of the bloggers are not educated and use feelings to understand issues.Good move Mr.president,people should know their work and do best in whatever they are doing.

  43. How can you condemn a report that has just been handed to you and presumably you have not yet read or is the ceremony just a public show? Sata’s leadership style reminds me of a certain chief executive of a parastatal. He would publicly ridicule his financial director in front of his juniors telling him that he brought him from National Hotels were he was just getting K80,000 per month. That is their style of leadership. Take it or leave it. I notice that Senior Citizen is back with a bang.

  44. HH did well to break away from the political pact with PF. Sata would have been shouting at him everyday just to ensure that he is frustrated to the point of commiting political suicide. Sata is killing our democracy through systematic strangulation of all our institutions of governance.He likes washing dirty linen in public like a political upstart!!!

  45. Am sure and do hope Sebastian Zulu, just like Rodger Chongwe, did not crave and or lobby to work with MC. Sata to be treated in the manner reported. The President must have seen great potential in theze distingiushed honorables (ad many otherz) who too must have agreed in principal to be part of the new regime. Yes they may not have done exactly what His Excellency dezired, but they certainly dezerve better.

  46. Good aternoon,

    Funnily enough, everyone is commenting on the president’s stern reaction but not on the findings of the Commission.

    It is a well known fact that governments in Africa have repeatedly connived with commission members and political benefactors to manipulate facts and thwart the true findings of Commissions. May I just remind us about the mystique still surrounded by cases like The Dag Hammarskjöld Plane Crash, The Killing of Patrice Lumumba, Steve Biko, Samora Machel, Habyarimanna and many others or just Google “The Oputa Commission” in Nigeria.
    It is therefore against this background that I believe that only the boldness, honesty and objectivity of a leader can guarantee the hope that one day, the whole truth will be seen in the light.

  47. Bravo Mr President DONCHI KUBEBA!!!! shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thi sis what Zambia needs

  48. Where is the charisma?
    Cannot recall from my history lessons of Madiba Mandela, Kenneth Kaunda, Mwalimu Nyerere, Sir Seretse Khama and even Comrade Mugabe refusing a commissioned report before reading it.
    Are we shooting the messenger or the message?!
    The PR chaps around the President need to get their act together.
    The world is watching..and listening.
    Am I missing something?!

  49. Warning shots to the constitutional committee of the so called experts.Deliver to the serpent according to his will or he will trash it. Watch this space.

  50. Iam very disappointed with this our so called president. Can’t he just handle Mr. Zulu professionally as he has done nothing wrong but being honest?
    Any way we were told but we did not heed.

  51. Whether the Report is presented to him by Homer Simpson or Father Christmas or a DHL delivery man, the fact of the matter is that the Report is complete…anything else is trivial and tantamount to time-wasting and waste of precious public resources. Any mitigating circumstances regarding Zulu’s absence should be dealt with behind closed doors, should it be always a ceremonial event in handing over these reports. Moreover the President misuses these events to make utterly irrelevant political statements. 

  52. When I hear when ba Sata react like this, is that he is getting frustrated.  He is a Zambian who wants to change things for the better but I think his team seem to be far behind in their aligning with his vision. I hope he will create think tanks that can advise him and help his team (cabinet and others) to understand his vision. Otherwise he will lose some very useful people. He may also die from a heart attack becos of pressure. He is thinking too much – he thinks things can change but the change is so slow and he is wondering why…! Take it easy ba Shikulu you still have four and a half years to go.

  54. A true leader would is also be mindful of TIME. He should have listened to it then if he has questions after listening go to the chairperson.You don’t just dismiss people.

    Th irony at the end of the day is that Sata does not take nonesense (bullshit), on the other hand thousands of people that he promised jobs, houses have done nothing but take his bullshit. It is high time we also demanded what was promised or take him out. 

  55. Much ado about nothing :) I’ll check back when there is a report received. Is this a weekly or daily briefing affected by the claustrophobic media briefer? Strike that. Not sure it matters.

  56. God bless the nation… The drama is on.. T. B. Joshua what do you have for Zedi? Even the Bible is very clear about the strength of the tongue.. Nations, leaders and the like have fallen because of the tongue.. Plse recall the comments on the uniform of the Litunga, the Ngambela installation, BA, appointment of DPP, Botswana address to the Zambians the list is endless.. We are watching which way Zedi.. Period.

    • Am sorry but the BA issue is not a national issue. Ngambela went into hiding once Sata returned!

  57. Who were the members of this CoI? It could be true that certain dirt was swept under the carpet to protect certain people or friends. The President could not have guessed that some dirt was swept under the carpet. May be someone or some members of the commission whispered to him about the whole thing.

  58. Beyond the embarrassment Ukwa has caused to himself and Zambia by throwing yet one more public tantrum, it seems far more important to consider what Mrs. Sinyangwe has said that only ZANIS will be used to cover State House and that all stories will be distributed through this one channel only.

    Didn’t this Government come to power (at least in part) on its promise to end the bias in media coverage? So…. I guess what they really meant to say was that the only bias they were interested in ending was the bias against PF and their policy had absolutely nothing to do with open and free reporting. Donchi Kubeba, right? 

  59. I suspect dementia is slowly creeping in? The man has too many issues going through his head; prostate enlargement, fragile heart etc This erratic behaviour is a serious cause for concern.

  60. Donti Kudabwa.You were warned before elections,he’s just living up to his name.Chanda chimba must be having the last laugh.

  62. President Sata’s action is good and sets the tone for the anti corruption fight, Commisioners must be scrupulous. A president receives intellingece reports from all corners. So he ought to have a point when he says dirt has been swept under the carpet. NO WINDOW DRESSING. when I see this antagonism and the President’s desiciveness; I am happy because it shows seriousness; which was lacking in prevoius regime. NO KID’S GLOVES. Pure abrasive and allergic reaction to corruption and shoddy work. I think the President ought to be praised for his reaction by anyone who is dismayed by corruption and want to see discipline in govt.

  63. This is why most of us voted for MCS. He is indeed unique and i am sure he knows what he is doing and we shall come to appreciate him later. MCS is a very wise person and quite intelligent. Bravo MCS and PF..!!! I LOVE THIS MAN…………….!!!

    • Thats why must of us we didnt vote for him bcoz his not nomal,anything come on mind jst spk like mud person, yes is mud.look at dolla and kwacha.

  64. With immediate effect, all ministers and other government officials assigned by the president to do some work must ‘ THINK THROUGH THE PRESIDENT’ or else their reports will be useless.

  66. TO SAY THE LEAST, SATA IS WASTING OUR TIME AND RESOURCES. I AM ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED HIM, BUT WHAT KEEPS COMING OUT OF STATE HOUSE IS MAKING ME TO THINK TWICE!!! IS THIS WHAT KK MEANT WHEN HE SAID THAT SATA IS NO PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL???

  68. RB used to accept reports even before reading thru them. He was an easy goer. And not with MCS..!!! They all must do their homework thoroughly before submission to the republican president. Yes, he could not be educated, but he has sustance and material and he knows his job very well. President Sata is not ordinary like the Under5s oppposition party presidents. You have to really eat and be a real man to face him.He is tough and not for nothing. Bravo, MCS….!!! This is our president and we love him for that..!!!

  71. Here comes my presido..!!! Ministers will have to do their home work and really work hard always…!!! Sata is not an under5 like Hakaivotela Humiuine,HH. He is very expreienced!

  72. Zambia now has a great presido…!!! People will really work hard. He is not a presido one can bull shit around with. Not at all..!!!

  73. report should not wait for Mr Zulu otherwise it shows the exercise is not important. H.E. had complained about the delay of the Roger Chongwe Report. So was this unnecessary inquiry?

  74. I can somewhat understand why Sata would reject the report being submitted by someone other than the Comissions’ chair. Zambians should not quickly jump to conclusion on this matter. Sata knows why he rejected it. Quote: “He said a lot of dust had been swept under the carpet on the NAPSA investigations by the commission” end of quote. Some of you lack foresight even as you hastly post your comments. The President must have (am pretty sure he did) seen the report before it was “officially” presented or he wouldn’t have called it “useless” just the day before. No question, these commissions of inquiries are a huge financial burden on the tax payer. However, if a commission’s report is to be accepted and/or respected, it should contain ALL the relevant, FACTS…good or bad.

  75. but where is sebastion zulu kanshi he cnt chew allowances & fail to appear before the ceremonial presentation of the report.pipo the presido has evrythng at his disposal,shushushu name it,so wen u say that wat was the purpose of COI-obviously it is to make it official & for public consumption.the pf govt need to put its house in order.seba’s absence is gross insubordination & should be reprimanded.take heed

  76. Sebastian Zulu is just a nominated MP. He can be fired anytime by the presido. He has no constituency to represent. He is completely useless…!! Bravo MCS………………………!!! He is trying to favor certain fellow kwindis.

  77. In other words, don’t bring fourth a report that is half baked, Zulu. Do your damn homework, you are being paid by the Zambian people after all. So yes, Sata is right. Get to work bane…no kankuluwele here.
    Fyola!!!!

  78. Sata has just become bored and lackadaisical he can’t be bothered to read anything more than 1and 1/2 pages.

  79. Zambia now has a substance presido. Not a presido that accepts trash and gabbage..! MCS is a really man…!! He is genuine and very intellegent indeed..!!!

  80. The Post need to be thanked for laundering or dry cleaning this man into state house. How do their commentaries of 2006 compare with the real action man’s performances?

  81. Let’s hope this will be extended to the rest of the citizenry. He has started it with Ministers. Abash laziness..!!

  82. I love this presido for he always amazes me. Bravo Micheal..!! We are behind you. Flash out the corrupt. Sata beyond 2016…!!! Abash under5s!!!!

  83. Haters u can say whatever u want,the fact is eve if we repeat election today,SATA wud win.We knw its a bitter pill to swallow,but sorry,we love SATA.

  85. Plain UKWANOMICS when bored turn-on or switch to ZNBC you will run into an UKWANOMIC episode of just for laughs. 

  87. Ha! ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! —– Ati, Zambia has a President!!! Sesame Street Government! Even Homer Simpson could have done better than Sata!

  88. Its INDISCIPLINE for a one to send his Deputy to submit a report ! Lets not reduce the PRESIDENCY people. Whether Sata, HH or anyone that will be in Plot 1.
    The best Sabastian would have done was to send his Deputy abroad to represent him OR request for a small extension of time !

  89. I see nothing wrong. The person in charge of preparing a report must be present. However, a less dramatic means should have been sought!

  90. Ever wondered why 6 months in State House UKWA has never held a full live press conference?Well,rumor has it that this weekend he is featuring at Lusaka’s Play House.Dont miss

  91. It’s just poor reporting by QFM. When will Zambia get over this reporting style of “that one said…” and then misquoting, garbling or focusing on just a few words of “what they said” until it is beyond comprehension. Other countries they analyse “what they said” in full, or even report “what they did”

  93. Not surprising of-course because God revealed to Zambians every bit of who Sata is, but Zambians never listened.
    To Mr. Zulu, this is a case of sebana wikute appointment, because no principled person can ever work with Sata, except individuals who want to earn a livelihood. If Zulu was my father, i would ask him to resign.

  94. This is a clear case of COIs with predetermined outcomes. How come all the ones that have taken place have gone the way that the President wanted/expected. This one did not go his way and he throws a tantrum like the proverbial little boy and his toys. It is becoming clear that what we are seeing is a circus. A degree clause should be enshrined in our constitution in order to avoid embarrassing situations like this. To put it simply, he could not comprehend the contents of the report.  

  97. I suspect these people who’re chairing the Commission of Enquiries are being bribed in one way or the other by these MMD villains who’re being investigated.

  98. The president knew very well that Justice Minister would be out of the country. There’s no way a cabinet minister can go outside the country without the knowledge of the president unless he/she is on leave.

  99. #28 #94 & Airtime Sakala – No matter how much you clean a toilet, it will still remain a toilet. There are just some people in life who are naturally dull, it doesn’t matter which school you take them to. The fact is Sata is up to this point the worst president Zambia has ever had: and all intelligent people can see that. The fact is Sata is using the so-called corruption fight to divert people’s attention from the fact that the economy is dying. The last time the Kwacha was this weak against major currencies was in 2000. That says something. The money PF are busy spending right now is the money MMD left in the economy curent account as surplus. When that surplus runs out it will be mayhem. But obviously ostriches like you can’t see it – it is too complex for you.

    • Everyone uses a toilet regardless, and it seems like you’ll be using it for the next four years!

  101. Did you guys watch the movie “Lady Thatcher”? During his resignation as Foreign Secretary following Thatcher’s belittling of the then Cabinet Secretary, Lord Geoffrey Howe remarked and quote: “it is not always good to taste the loyalty of one’s colleagues in this manner, there could be consequences!” Sata should know he has with Zulu crossed the line, the countdown is on, Zondwe is doomed!

  102. All this hatred against HH is mystifying. People are playing holier-than-thou. But history will prove you wrong. Never again in the history of this country will people be duped like they have been this time and being made to feel foolish in the end. Like someone said last week, 2016 elections will be a very different ball-game and the future of Zambia as a unitary state will be decided then. In the meantime, we will let some people continue making i.d.i.o.t.s of themselves.

  103. Today’s news is boring, honestly. I wish we could see this report. Well, back to my black tea and cup cakes in preparation for tomorrow’s deal making processes!

  104. The drama doesnt need debate,the press conference was meant to dress down Sabastian Zulu.
    Its very imbarancing moment I supose for Mr.zulu…Ukwa lost it on SZ the time he presented the western province COI,it didnt martch with his expectation,The only people who will go all the waywith Ukwa are the ones who do what his evil heart expect of them,send Henry Banda to prison,deregister the MMD,
    I can imagine when it will be time for the likes of Chibamba Kanyama,Frank Mutubila, just to mention the two

  107. PIPO SEBA SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE IF THE REPORT WAS NOT HALF BAKED COZ THIS SHOWS HE IS AFRAID,NOW THE QUESTION SHUD BE..AFRAID OF WHAT IF HE KNOWS HE DID WHAT HE WAS EXPECTED OF..? U SEE SATA DOESNT WANT TO BE JUST CHEWING TAX PAYERS MONEY NO WONDER HE IS CROSS…SATA IS HARD WORKING AND SO HE EXPECTS HIS MINISTERS TO FOLLOW IN HIS FOOT STEPS..

    GO ON MCS SHOW THESE GUYS WHAT U ARE MADE OF……U WILL HAVE MY VOTE IN 2016 AGAIN

  108. THE PRESIDO HAS INFORMAS EVEN BEFORE SEBA PRESENTED THE SAID REPORT.. SO HE SHOULD NOT UNDERLET HE MCS,HE KNOWS BEFORE HAND…SEE HOW WINTER PRESENTED..EXELLENT REPORT AND RECOMENDATIONS

  109. It is very easy to tell which bloggers are the govt sponsored agents that Zambia Watchdog was talking about – #105 surely must be a govt agent. Dont you think it would make more sense to change your writing case if you are going to pretend to be different bloggers?

  110. I have just discovered that what the WatchDog reported regarding implanted PF cadres supplied with Laptops by Kabimba is true.Hence their change in posting policy!Whereas as MMD implants were educative and somehow disguised,these PF with flags from Zed are indeed dull and noticeable.Apparently reflective of Kambimba’s caribre cos if he was smart he would have recruited the best given his position.But its a blessing in disguise cos the end is so son.TBJ where are you @?

    • Dude, I am glad I wasn’t the only person that noticed that. Same vocabulary, same punctuation, same time frame. There was something statistically off about those posts. Lol.

    • I noticed and I have remarked that he should have at least changed the manner of writing. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, at least. Lol!

  112. He will be thanked in 15 years time when things start changing. The only mistake PF is making is not to confront these lazy ministers and civil servants; no performance measurement, they do not even know the expected level of output in a report; recommendations, and the like. So when you ask for a high level of performance, you are a dictator.

  113. Mwebantu, people that don’t know the operations of these two institutions can say the report is irrelevant . But if you understand how people are manipulated then you may wish to wait and here what comes out of this report. You will be surprised the names that might be mentioned in this report. People that are holding strategic positions in our institutions. I rest my case

  115. #110 – Very funny!!!! Mr Zulu, who seems to have spent a good part of his life undermining others needs to realize quickly that he is being used as a sacrificial lamb. He needs to be very careful. These Commissions are now the prosecution recommending what needs to be done to who. What is going on in Zambia right now is very dangerous.

  117. I personally agree that we need ba Sata as President this country has corrupt leaders who have no regards for the poor see how much money
    MMD spent on the last election, what about money given out in the name of developmental projects like roads we are talking of trillions.BA SATA be tough on these crooks it’s the common man who suffer in the end.

  118. Iam surprised that Zambians can call ba Sata as a dictator do you know what it means to be ruled by a dictator ask those who have been led by one?Do you think those agitating for trouble in Western Province would be living now? those who had stolen from Zambian people would walk in the streets of Zambia freely,we need a benevolent dictator in Zambia to deal with corrupt and evil men in Zambia.Where ever you go its chekelako

  119. I am lost for words to describe people who do not see anything with the presidents behaviour. Even if the COI were meant to find fault in people he should keep his cool and not make it so obvious that the only result he expects is prosecuting people under the MMD adminstration. Failure and calamity always has tell tell signs. We need to utilise God’s freely given wisdom to see the signs.

  120. This woman at Cabinet office is Sata’s niece, under her reign she has managed to have the Accountant General who does not fall under her petcoat fired because she wants only her friends at Cabinet office to perform functions of Accounting, she needs to be tamed, now she is even

  121. This woman at Cabinet office is Sata’s niece, under her reign she has managed to have the Accountant General who does not fall under her petcoat fired because she wants only her friends at Cabinet office to perform functions of Accounting, she needs to be tamed, now she is even dictating how news should be obtained from State House!!!
    These are the people who are seriously making HEMCS very unpopular in addition to his own comedy way of doing things

  122. ALL THE PRESIDENT WANTS IS THAT THE REPORT BE PRESENTED BY THE CHAIRMAN HIMSELF MR sEBASTIAN zULU WHO APPARENTLY TRAVELLED OUT OF THE COUNTRY OF WHICH IM SURE THE PRESIDENT WAS AWARE. SO MAYBE WE BLAME THE PS AT CABINET OFFICE FOR THIS MISHAP

  123. THE PRESIDENT DID NOT REJECT THE REPORT PEOPLE !!!!!!!! HE SIMPLY DEFERED ITS PRESENTATION CAUSE THE CHAIRMAN IS OUT OF THE COUNTRY PERIOD!!!!!
    LET US GET FACTS RIGHT BEFORE MAKING BASELESS AND CARELESS COMMENTS PLEASE ZAMBIANS PANTU MU CONLUDA…

  124. What is the first thing does dictatorial tendances starts to show signs of being alive? Control the media. State house wants to control what we hear and see. Is this the confirmation that we are slowly but surely moving towards dictatorship? I hope this lady was speaking from her own desk and not under the influence of the powers that be. PF leave the traditions of us the public being informed in real time intact, unless someone wants to be a dictator. The next Statehouse function must still have all the accreditated journalist and not that nonsense you are talking about. Just institute some measure what the leader at plot one says remains of a state’s man.

  125. Have you noticed that some of these guys making comments that are “pro” presido are actually the same person? For one the flag on their profile has the same Zambian flag. Second, they keep ending their sentences with the same punctuation. If you compare their punctuation and the language they use with that of everyone else’s comments you’ll notice the similarities. And they all post within the same time frame between 3:20pm – 3:25pm CST (5 minute window) , then 5:19pm – 5:42pm CST (23 minute window). They all use this punctuation”…….!!!” Compare comments by these people: Ding Dong, Bishop Botha, Dyonko, Jacko, D.Chaps, JNindi, Col. Kekelwa, John Mundui Keke. All the same dude trying to sway public opinion. Lol. You have to be smarter than that.

  126. Times of Zambia reports that Sata even asked Chikwanda were he got Chibiliti and Mulonga from. Is everything alright at State house.

  129. #123, If what you are saying was true then we have a fully blown embacile in State House. I mean, when any cabinet minister travels out of the country, the president has to grant permission first and your statement would indicate that Saya granted permission to Zulu and then forgot the man was out of the country. Anyway, whatever the reason, it’s a prelude to something more serious inside either 1. Sata’s head or 2. crisis in the governance of Zambia or 3. both the above. For me, I would bet on 3.

  130. That display of anger in public by the president should worry any good citizen. The man should control his temper, lest he will just keel over and die from high blood pressure. Its Theodore Rosevelt who said “talk small, but carry a big stick behind you”. Sata could very well change his leadership style, by taking a leaf from that advise and learn to strike at the opportune time. He must know how to play the power game, without appearing overtly abbrassive and combatant.

  131. Jimmy, My ave weekly hrs was TOTAL! I only coteund actually work time so if it was a CF class and the WOD was 20 min -that is what I coteund.
