Works and Supply Minister Yamfwa Mukanga says the commencement of construction works on President Michael Sata’s retirement home should not raise eyebrows.
Mr Mukanga has told QFM interview that there is nothing wrong for government to begin constructing a house for the Head of State because it is provided for in the yellow book.
He explains that there is an allocation in the yellow book for the retirement homes of all the presidents which should not raise eyebrows.
Mr Mukanga says politicians should not try to gain popularity out of correct things being done by the Patriotic Front government.
He stresses that government will work depending on the activity based budget that is provided for.
Mr. Mukanga however could not categorically state whether construction works on President Michael Sata%u2019s retirement house have started promised to inform the nation once he visits the site next week.
He was responding to allegations that government has already started building a house for President Michael Sata before he retires.
Ba |Mukanga please give us a break.
am forced to believe my friend who once said ati “muntu akayamba kuina ninshi aleka kuganiza olo ankala comfortable”.
THIS HOUSE CAN’T BE COMPLETED BEFORE RB’S AND LPM’S, AND SHOULD BE EXACTLY THE SAME SIZE AND SPECIFICATION!
IT’S EVEN BETTER TO CONSTRUCT IT BEFORE RETIREMENT TO AVOID HOTEL LODGING COSTS. FROM STATE HOUSE TO RETIREMENT HOME IS COST EFFECTIVE. UNLESS PEOPLE WITH RETARDED BRAINS CAN ARGUE WITH THAT.
Building Sata’s House, an OLD RUG with houses all over Lusaka, starting from Avondale to Chilenje, Kabulonga and where he stayed prior to 2011 at the expense of providing for decent Accomodation for the Students at CBU is what’s WRONG.
HOW FAR RB HOUSE AND FTJ
RB and FTJ are thieves who do not deserve houses
Mwamba Mutale,
What will you do to Sata’s retirement house being built now in event that after he leaves office he is found to have abused his office whilst he was President?
Mwamba mutale and the minister .you are very stupid and have no morals.swine
The idea of the retirement house is ok. I think what we need disclosure for is how it will be managed in the meantime before the current president retires… Therein lies the tale.
WHAT IF THE LORD SAYS COME HOME TODAY MY FAITHFUL SERVANT YOU HAVE DONE VERY WELL IMPROVING THE LIVES OF ALL ZAMBIANS IN TWO YEARS YOU HAVE BEEN IN POWER.WHO IS GOING TO LIVE IN THAT HOUSE ?
@Kalok
The problem in Zambia is that people don’t think to look elsewhere to ensure that information is clarified and up to date but often choose to rely on their calibre of thought and understanding. So where it “seems” as if there is nothing wrong, a glance at the constitution will suggest that there is alot wrong with building Sata’s retirement home when he is actually the incumbent. The LAW is very clear that “after retirement”. In that case Sata is not entitled to a house nor the construction of one. The LAW tries to reason and I can only assume that it is deliberately that way in order to ensure that one is entitled to the benefits “after serving the nation” and not those that maybe impeached while in office.
Its Dr.Kaseba….who else? Mwanawasa’s houe will be occupied by Maureen. Ba Munsha use yo brain to think not your aaaash
This is a distraction. If common citizens can build their own houses, WHY CAN’T A PRESIDENT BUILD HIS? In fact all these presidents already have numerous houses of their own so why WASTE taxpayers money for such lavishness in country where close to 80% of the population lives in poverty with very high unemployment levels? In other countries this NONSENSE cannot be tolerated!!!!
Everything this government is doing is becoming irritating…
IT SEEMS THERE IS TOO MUCH TALKING IN ZAMBIA EVEN OVER TRIVIAL THINGS. AND DEPENDING ON THE ONE YOU CHOOSE TO LISTEN TO, YOU MAY THINK THAT THERE IS CHAOS IN ZAMBIA. I REMEMBER THERE WAS THE TALK ABOUT BA64. A LOT OF DUST WAS RAISED. BUT NOW IT IS A NON STARTER. THEN THERE WAS THE RE-ALIGNMENT OF DISTRICTS. SOME PEOPLE MADE NOISE EVEN ORGANISING SOME ILLITERATE CHIEFS TO COMMENT. ALL THAT IS WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE. THEN CAME THE ISSUE OF THE REMOVAL OF SUBSIDIES. AGAIN SOME PERSONS MADE TOO MUCH NOISE. AGAIN IT IS QUIET. MUCH AS WE KNOW THAT THE PF HAS ITS OWN ISSUES TO SORT OUT, LET US BE CAREFUL.
Go hang yourself,this is now PFs time.
if the man in question is still in employment then the retirement house should not be built until when he retires. mr. mukanga does not see anything wrong in doing something wrong, very unfortunate
That’s what I was thinking also. In fact that is why it is called a retirement house.
Gents, this is a good move to cut on expenses at the end of the term of the president. FTJ and LPM’s widows are living in rented houses at a cost of 80,000 per month. ask RB how much he is paying. ask KK how mauch he spent on rentals. had thse presidents built there on houses during their terms, we would have saved alot. sata maume. he has great foresight

@musangu
You’ve just exposed yourself by adding all those zeros. A more enlightened mind would have used an exponent.
What’s that you say? You can’t type an exponent?
Answer: the symbol ‘^’ is used to represent an exponent.
You’re Welcome.
WHY IS IT TAKING LONG TO CONSTRUCT HOUSES FOR EX PRESIDENTS LATE CHILUBA, MWANAWANSA AND NOW RB? THESE ARE THE ISSUES HON MUKANGA IS SUPPOSED TO BE ADDRESSING. WHAT METHOD IS BEING USED? HEMCS IS A SEATING PRESIDENT AND HIS TERM HAS NOT ENDED AND HE MAY GO FOR A SECOND TERM. SO WHERE IS THE RUSH.
IS HE REALLY HONORABLE
Chiluba was a show off. His could have been finished now. RB’s is very advanced. Hon mwanamwambwa’s house has been frustrated by interference from him. I have no probs with Sata’s House. Good planning.
I think its wrong to start building the house of someone who has not retired yet when they some who have retired and there houses are not built yet! This not fair gentlemen.
PF on this one you have errored. Build the house for Chiluba, Mwanawasa,then Rupiah before we can think of Mr Sata.
In fact Sata owns half of houses in Avolndale, the man is just obsess with houses….
Yes indeed I agree with the Minister. There is nothing wrong with building a retirement house for the head of State , since he will be retiring from active politics to lead a quiet life as soon as he gets the new Constitution in place, probably at the end of this year.
He is just waiting for the new constitution so he can dissolve parliament and call for fresh elections. I just fear for PF because they will really kill each other for the top leadership. In fact the positioning by various camps is reaching fever pitch already. This show with its mysterious plot is about to get even more fascinating. Load up on popcorns.
Suppose he doesn’t retire?
Mwenelubemba, don’t worry his health will force him to……this is a comforter, If Sata was ok healthwise awe sure…
“FIFO”? Who retired earlier? After retirement? Don’t justify a wrong. If UKWA is found wanting at the end of his presidency and loses his entitlement? Besides, there’re more deserving former pesidos? There is everything wrong about this! Mukanga, you will be jailed for this illegality!
Correction, its popcorn and not popcorns!anyway what is the motivation for your blog name?
@remember
Soooooooooo many people write popcornS. Why, people, why, why, why?
bufi
Sata has the highest IQ in this government and he never went far in education, so what else do we expect in terms of service delivery to the ordinary citizen!
IQ unfortunately is measured in educational terms. The quicker you earn the higher the IQ.
Sata has the highest IQ amongst this lot? kekekekekekeke too funny
the question is, are the following mwanawasa,RB & Chiluba’s houses already constructed? Hon. Mukanga what short-cuts do you want to use or who are you trying to please?
HE IS NOT HONORABLE BECAUSE BY DECEMBER THERE WONT BE ANY PF SATA IS RESIGHNING
Even the policy of building houses for former Heads of States is nonsensical. These people get a lot of money while in power to enable construct their own houses. If they can’t plan for their retirement, that’s their own “ndaba”. I think this backward policy is only found in Zambia. These are some of the things the new constitution need to address. This is daylight robbery of tax payers money. You can even see that the man (SATAN) just came into power in less than 2 years and is already talking about his retirement house. He has already chosen a site for the construction of his house. And ma Zambians muli ndwiiii!!!!!! Wake up man!!!!
This is even more irritating given the fact that Ukwa practically owns the whole of Avondale.
Excellent point!!!
The other major problem is that majority of individuals that participate in the constitution review process are hand picked by the masters and also have ambitions of serving in public office? Imagine, they do not tolerate dual citizenship and yet proposed that foreigners could contest in local elections. Zambians worship foreigners and will bend over like fools to appease them? What is wrong with us people……I guess ours is a lethal combination of absolute poverty and ignorance. Sad that we keep electing the same people over and over …yet expect a different outcome (more money in the pocket)? Why didn’t MCS put money in our pockets during his tenure in UNIP and MMD. HH has surrounded himself with the same cheap crooks/ fortune seekers who have betrayed us time and again? Vote wisely
we have nothing against building our sata retirement house ,the problem we have is the man is not retired yet and the houses for ex-presidents are not finished.l stand to be corrected the next in the line is FTJ .we said it this man is greed and he does not care about the poor people.he shud the poor people to get the presidency but God knows.let be fair in dealing with national issues.tomorrow PF will not be there it is another party and people are seen what you are doing.
No there is a problem here! We shouldn’t be doing this in the first place. Invest that money in public housing from where government can generate revenue. If one is a President and can’t build their own house they’re a FOOL esp in a country where thousands of poor citizens are busy building houses – KU BA TUMPIKA!!!!!!!
Sata does not care about us. The first thing he did as President was to give himself 100% salary increment and now barely two years in office he has already started building his retirement house. What a shame!
friday joke right!
PLEASE GO AHEAD BEFORE COSTS OF BUILDING MATERIALS ESCALATE.
THIS IS A PRESIDENT AND HIS GOVERNMENT WHO THINK AHEAD.
HE HAS GONE INTO MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADE THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY WHEN OTHERS WERE PREOCCUPIED WITH BUILDING FLATS AND
VILLAS FOR THEIR CHILDREN, THEY NEVER EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT IT!
The difference is that they did not use tax payers’ money to build the flats for their children. Anyway, if a father is building flats for his children’s future is that not looking ahead? If Ukwa who gave himself TWO SALARY INCREMENTS within a year really thought about the poor Zambians he could have donated the money spent on building his house to the many poor orphans in the country. After all this is the money who claims not to drink bottled water in solidarity with the poor. But of course anybody who supports Ukwa is a semi-retard so analysing issues is obviously beyond you.
Nice lesson on ABB (Activity Based Budget) from this monkey! He has no clue of what it means but he is pretending to be a master of it! There is no short cut Mr Minister but you need to go to school first….though its too late for an old bag like you!
You are probably who knows nada. Mukanga has a Masters in Electrical Engneering,he was once an Engineering Superintendent in Mopani Copper Mines , he was obviously exposed to engineering projects and budgeting.Trust me, he is worked in the private sector where work performance determines your rise.So who does not know what you cadre?
Ok guys tulebako serious Sata has a lot of real estate in LSK. Yanshi inganda alefwaya naimbi. Mwebuteko poseniko amano. Are these guys trying to divert our attention from real issues?
Exactly the point!!!!!
Rumour has it that he 93 houses in Lusaka alone.
93 houses? nowonder his son donates them as gifts to his girlfriends!
@Ngachali
Presumably that’s your baby. Really really cute!
I don’t mean to offend, and you can tell me to mind my own business, but maybe you might reconsider putting your kid’s picture on the internet.
There are sick, sick people out there with sick publications who look for images of children.
CAN YOU PLEASE PAY MY PENSION BENEFITS BEFORE I RETIRE?
Oh , oh , I thought he was a reasonable fella. How do you build a retirement home for someone who hasn’t even retired and constitutionally still has another term to go- when you haven’t finshed building the houses for other former Presidents ? And you say there is nothing wrong with that! Something is seriuosly very wrong with you PF chaps . And someone tells us they wont take bottled water because they care for the poor – but they don’t mind having money spent on a house before they retire. What hypocrisy!
I believe mukanga is an engineer and possibly an unza don but his utterances lack wisdom they are mediocre to say the least.
DEAR CHILDREN FROM BROKEN MARRIAGES,
THE PRESIDENT’S MOTORCADE IS WORTH 3 PALACES.
RB … PREFERRED MPUNDU VILLAS
CHILUBA…PREFERRED FLATS FOR HIS GIRLFRIENDS..
SO WHATS THE NOISE ABOUT?
THE FLATS RB BUILT FOR HIS CHILDREN WERE NOT PAID FOR BY THE TAX PAYER. This imbecility of pa fipuba seems to have infected more Zambians than HIV/AIDS.
Stiopeti!!!!!
The circus continues. Next it will be houses for retired Ministers. Pay retired civil servants. Merzaf
This is nosense, its like you get a job today and immediately you as for end of term gratuity or retirement package before you even retire..where on earth? this is pure greedy and Mukanga you have lost your sanity.
Zambians, lets just kick these guys out. Lets follow the line, NExt in line was Chiliba, MWanawasa, RB, so how does Mukanga dance to the tune of insanity????
Personally I think this wasteful Project should be stopped for any incoming Leader. This Country has a lot of grinding poverty lack of resources & amenities. What should now happen is anyone running for Presidential office should be in a position to afford a house on retirement, & in order that we do not discriminate against those less fortunate, their party should fund this project. Zambians have NEVER begged these individuals to run for office, they put themselves forward, so why waste meagre public resources. We are NOT Norway, where our citizens are well catered for by their Rich Nation.
Totally agreed!!
When is he retiring? Next week or in 90 days’ time?
so there is a lot of money pay retirees their money and also consider building houses for all those holding public offices or let everyone build from their earnings.houses for servants when the masters are wallowing in poverty,no good schools,no medicines and equipment in hospitals, no good roads in the countryside ,list endless.Where is your priority,yourselves or the masses
One of the dullest persons in cabinet.
I have followed this guy responses and i doubt if he completed school. The question is why was the house was budgeted for in the first place?
They removed subsidies in order to enrich themselves. They said subsidies only benefited the rich when the poor were the greatest to benefit.Why cant they hold on with that project just like they did with subsidies. pf, your time to reckon is just around the corner. Remember the saying, ‘when the eagle perch, let the kite perch too, if one says no to the other, let its wing break’.
Sata has boycotd mineral water because most Zambians can not afford bottled water. He he is honest there is no way he would jump the queue. Ok fine, let him build but we are going to grab it from this GREEDY SOUL
Maybe he is retiring this year hasn’t ZWD been telling us he is ailing and even collapsed on Monday hence the heavy soldier presence at statehouse on Monday.
We do not expect you Hon. Minister to state otherwise.
I just find the whole idea of building a retirement home for former heads of State totally absurd esp when they will continue to enjoy 80% of incumbent’s salary and everything – even when they were beastily.
So we have a backlog of 3 more mansions to build: Late Mwanawasa, late FJTC and RB!! What an absurd decision our govt made. A civil servant who slaved for 30 years during the harsh times of KK, FTJC, LPM and RB could not even be given a small small holding to retire on. Only those who worked for Ministry of Lands, Agric. Councils and provincial adminstrations could get those. Elsewhere esp in LSK, you had to buy at black market rates from fellow Zambians. Even George Owell’s Animal Farm was fairer.
And we are also spending money on their luxurious lives, foreign medical bills since they can’t use our hospitals, building their expensive tombs and lavish state funerals…The law should be if a President dies in a foreign hospital, kumushika uko Kline to save on costs….
Mean. Kumushika ukokwine
Sata will be impeached not retired. This man is not sincere. his mind crooked without himself knowing it.
It looks wrong both on the face of it and and hearing sections of the law read look.my question is that out of a thousand interested parties y no 1 has commenced pricides 4 judicial review of the decision by parly n govnmnt
Only the dull can dispute this point. collosal sums of money have been lost through renting for former heads of state. ask KK how much he gobbled on rentals, chiluba. maureen is paying 80,000 per month. HEMCS is too intelligent and patriotic that he doesnt wana come and waste taxpayers money on rentals. KK, LPM, FTJ and RB should have built there houses. money could have been saved. Viva sata Viva!!!!!
You must be one dull chap? They do not need any special treatment…? they need to plan for their future just like everybody else?
You are an imbecile
A one eyed man is king among the blind
Ulichikopo iwe pushi. you survive by racketeering the nation and stealing from your own people,shame on you.
@MPHENDULA KAYAULA
YOU ARE DULL..SONNY……
HOW DID YOU EXPECT CHILUBA OR RB TO PACK BACK
THEIR BENEFACTORS OR SPONSORS?
FROM CHILDREN’S OR THEIR OWN SALARIES?
HOW MUCH IS LOST IN THE SO-CALLED TAX PAYERS MONEY THROUGH EVEN 6 MONTHS OF HOUSE RENTALS?
Former presidents should be able to pay for their own accommodation from the pension they receive from the state. In fact some former presidents such Mwanawasa, RB and the dunderhead currently polluting state house with urine smells all had homes prior to becoming president so why should you and I pay for another house for them whether it is by rentals or building a new mansion for them? If it is a question of security, am sure adjustments can be made to their former homes to ensure that no one harms them. So my friend I think the dull one is you as you do not seem to condone gross wastefulness in a land where the majority of the population survive on less than a dollar a day.
the zambian government is spending money on ftjs’, lpms’, and now rb. why not build for these past presidents so as to cut that expenditure unlike building for some1 who is not likely to be in a rented house for the next 8yrs.
Wrong question, so u expect a wrong answer I.e GIGO. This scenario shouldn’t arise in the first place. What example are these ‘breast fed’ presidents giving to a common Zambian citizen?
Let them start building and we will see if the house will survive once the protests begin.
Politics of POVERTY AND ENTITLEMENT should be abolished if we need to develop as a nation. Why can’t we emulate our friends in Botswana, THEY DO NOT CONSTRUCT HOUSES FOR THEIR FORMER PRESIDENTS. Why can’t utilize the money to BUY HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT, IMPROVE OUR DRAINAGE, RENOVATE OUR SCHOOLS? Let us use that money to better the lives of the voters? People wake up, we are Zambians and entitled to copper. That is why politics disgusts me as none of our leaders are in politics to serve the masses. When is the Lord coming as we are tried of this bull$hit…politics of poverty? Come 2016, and some fools will even put their lives on the line…for what? So that MCM or HH can build himself a masion at the expense of the poor?
Totally right…Ubu ubupuba is only found in Zambia
Bye elections and the presidents retirement house are ‘budgeted for’ but why cant ARVs or fuel be ‘budgeted for’?
Let us focus n building RB and FTJ’s retirement home. Ba Ukwa has not yet retired so we no need of building that house. Problem is ba Sata likes cheering himself on, let people cheer you papa Ukwa.
No to all yo proposals – wasteful expenditure!
@36, Hence after Sata, as we cannot change currently whats law, all this Useless enriching of already wealthy people by ” Building retirement houses” should be stopped FULL STOP!! My argument is, this cash could be used to build good proper housing, & educate our street kids, as its NOT these poor kids fault, that they’ve ended up in this unfortunate situation. The law should change, to state any aspiring Presidential candidate, should from their own pocket, or their party, put a deposit for a retirement house into a government Pot, to be publicly declared, & if they get elected, from this POT their home can start being constructed. Any losing presidential candidates should immediately get their deposit back -(No Interest), to stop corrupt minds that are so rife in our continent
@42 should read ” On our Continent”
Better move fast, Minister before squatters invade that piece of land!
Fellow Zambians,educate me on this.How can Sata build his house before building one for RB?Why must the state build houses for the late Chiluba and Mwanawasa.Does it mean these are are personal to holder Houses or they belong to the state once a former President is late?
A house for a former head of state to be built by government funds does not make sense to me, because he is paid enough to build his house. I do not understand why a former president or indeed a sitting president in Zambia should have to-ma behaviour like a ka king of some sort.
Former head of state’s office makes more sense than a house. Such an office can be turned into a museum unlike a house which supposedly must be private. It is more important to consider strengthening the office/role of the former head of state than strengthening the beauty of their houses.
Imagine the USA – 48 presidents, 48 mansions for presidents? Ubupuba bwela bweka
Why build them houses in the first place. Each work prepares there own retirement home from their benefits.
Mr Sata being a civil servant, is governed by some kind of regulation that all heads of state follow. Once we understand that then we can comment more effectively. My questions are? why are civil servants not allowed to take their or part of their retirement package before they retire?,Why was KK given his retirement only after he left politics? Why did FTJ’s(MHSRP) pension house only an issue after he retired? Why did Mwanawasa not build his retirement home before his death (MHSRP)? Why did RB who ruled at least for three years not build his own retirement house? If this package is part of retirement then SATA and his followers have no case. If it is a package and no retirement is mentioned in what ever governs the remuneration of a head of state then they have a case.
It is sensible to look after “retired” presidents but building them mansions 8 years before their retirement is stretching it even by Yaluma standards!
That is how Dictators behave, they are very selfsh.
Late FTJ,LPM and RB have no houses.
Gentlemen SATA is not clean, he is the worst corrupt leader I have ever seen.
When ever he is sick he used to go to S/Africa for medication. Now this time he goes to India without even telling the Nation. He his preteding as if he not a sick person.
He has been advised by Kaunda that if you want to steal money use India.
God is great lets wait and see what will happen.
Kano nag ebo, it’s ok. How do they build a house for the incumbent, when the retiredone are still living in rented houses? I remember, when Mwanawasa wanted to start the same, Sata was the first to raise his voice!
Morality and integrity is a problem in some tribes in this country.
@mwamba mutale 2.1…tell us if you haven’t stolen anything in your life time.
Greed is the driving force for all they ever do! “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Mark 8:6
They should build a very modest hse in kalikiliki,kamwala or msisi.Afterall thats the true value of Sata’s disastrous presidency.
Correct. Ubupuba bweka bweka
His predecessors houses are not yet built, where is the fairness??? GOD SAVE ZAMBIA.
Construct the house but come 2016, the house will go to Regina Chiluba, then Maureen Mwanawasa after which Sata will be considered..in that order. Don’t worry, ladies and gentlemen. The are persecuting their opponents but come 2016 they will rightly be prosecuted for the looting going on; Chikwanda’s daughter supplying ammunition to Zambia Army, GBM getting most of the defense and ZESCO contracts, Wynter corruptly obtaining oil contracts, Mmembe stealing copper concentrates from NWP & CBP, UrineBag carrier and son getting 10% commission each on road contracts.
Just ignore them, construct the house.
There is everything wrong with this! Sata should only become entitled to a house upon retirement. Has he retired from active politics?
Mukanga has never impressed. He looks dull and he knows who butters his bread. He is corrupt and busy stealing money. He is on the list of those to be probed once PF comes out of power . We know what he has amassed- trucking company in a relative’s name and offshore accounts. We are awake.
Dont wory, this house will be repossed once PF is kicked out of power soon
FIRST COME FISRT SAVE IWE CHI BRUTAL/SELFISH MINISTER.THIS IS TOTAL CORUPTION MLANDU SUOLA, TIME WILL COME.WE HAVE MANY UN PAID RETIREES, AND UR BUSSY PREPARING MATION 4 UR BOSS.

COLAPSED WHAT’S UR COMMENT MINISTER AND WHAT ABOUT HEAVY SECURITY AT STATE HOUSE AND ZNBC?.THEN UR EVEN PLANING TO BULD A HOUSE 4 HIM.POOR PLAN ,THINK TWICE UNLESS TO PREASE HIM B4 HE PASSED AWAY.
This is already an abuse of office case.
The idea behind the building of a house for KK by Mwanawasa was to appreciate him for his sacrificial services as a freedom fighter. Unfortunately this has been perverse and is now applicable to every former president, a provision of the law that need to be repealed. As it is, Sata is entitled to a house after retirement and not now. Building a House for SATA before he retires is like paying a terminal package to some one who is still in employment. What if he breaches the constitution and gets impeached before retirement? Those supporting the idea need to think deeper.
This guy has joined the queue of dull and useless ministers. The law is very clear on who is entitled to the house .”Ex Presidents and not serving Presidents”. If this guy cannot understand the difference in the language, then we do have a big problem in terms of quality of leaders. This is simple and plain English which even Kabimba can understand although he chooses not.
JJJ its you who is dead already and not our president still very fit and energetic . fool fool fool ***** guy.
“Nothing wrong for government to begin constructing a retirement house for President Sata” is not the same as
“Nothing wrong with government beginning to construct a retirement house for President Sata”
But Iam sure ba LT you mean to say what my latter sentence means

For your information, Mwanawasa’s plot is still empty, apart from a few workers houses and an electric fence around. Go verify behind Silverest School, GER.
