      Grammatically incorrect.

      Your question should be, “I am in Europe so I am allowed to condemn aren’t I?”
      and not ‘I am in Europe so I am allowed to condemn isnt it?’

      The answer to your question is not easy. What or who do you want to condemn, and what for? Furthermore, can you qualify the living in Europe bit?

    I thought Copper is worthless nowadays anyway, not that I know how much a tonne fetches, why are they praising the thieve instead of condemning the security that was allegedly supposed to have caught these thieves.

    I would fire the securities and let the thieves go because they have only showed the lapses of the competencies of the security and the police anyway

    Terrible drama for a Friday

    I thought the wealthy of this country is for Zambian and it should be used for the benefit of Zambians.
    Make me understand, is this copper from another country found with Zambians?
    or are these so called thieves foreigners found with copper from Zambia?
    I don’t understand how you can be arrested for been in possession of something that belongs to you.

    Thats why Alabis immunity should be removed. Government departments were neglected, while them and their families allegedly amassed wealth, vehicles, bycicles, an accounted for, money buried in the ground. They worked hard to “dress” their camapigns but they never worked hard to dress their officers. It strated in FTJ, LPM remembered government departments atleast, but Alabi aisabalabako, and he was shown the door. GOD BLESS ZAMIA.
