The World Bank has observed that Zambia has made remarkable progress in the public sector reforms and doing business index.
World Bank Country Representative Dr. Kapil Kapool disclosed that Zambia is now rated 100 out of 181 whose progress in the public reform programmes are being monitored.
Dr Kapool said this at a media breakfast meeting to give a summary of Zambia’s performance on the 2004-2009 doing business indicators in Lusaka today.
He said Zambia has now moved 16 steps from last year when it was rated 116 out of the 181 countries globally.
Dr. Kapool attributed the improvement to the streamlining of the Patents and Companies Registration Office (PACRO) and the computerization of various institutions that facilitate businesses in the country.
He noted that most institutions have improved and reduced their time of operations such as issuing of licenses and registration of companies despite their system of operations remaining the same.
Dr. Kapool however said that there is need for Zambia to strive towards reducing the time and costs of exporting and importing goods into the country especially at border posts.
He added that the delays in exporting and importing goods out and into the country impacts negatively on the competitiveness of both exporters and importers respectively.
Dr. Kapool further called on government to work towards improving the labour market and employment conditions.
He added that there is also need to build on the momentum gained so far and address challenges such as transportation cost and labour market rigidities.
Dr. Kapool noted that the business environment in the country can receive a major boost if government addresses critical reforms is areas such as energy, telecommunications, railway systems and agriculture.
He has however commended government for putting in place mechanisms that have enabled the country record progress in improving its doing business index at global level.
And Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet Likolo Ndalamei said government will continue working towards improving business in the country.
Mr. Ndalamei said government wants Zambia to become the best investment destination in future adding that the country cannot create wealth for development without investments.
He said the fight against corruption through institutions created for the task by the late President Mwanawasa has also impacted positively in doing business effectinely in the country.
Mr. Likolo also assured the World Bank of government’s commitment to addressing issues and challenges observed in the annual assessment.
The Doing Business is an annual assessment of selected business indicators on how countries are fairing in the implementation of private sector reform programmes.
It is however not a comprehensive index measure. Currently Zambia is among the 181 countries across the globe that is annually assessed since 2004.

thanx
Thanks goes to all loving zambians. Our country is admired by many people .lets foster togather in our slogan of one zambia one nation.
Thats good news pa zed but lets us now work on reducing the fuel prices to enhance our competitiveness as a favourable destination for investment in AFRICA. LT IAM NOT POSTING MY COMENTS TOO QUICKLY PLSE DONT BE STUPID.
Ok i hope will improve on it but with people like RB in place we will get back to the valley.Let get people with brains in place.
for one to appreciate what the world bank has said, we should first think of who can succeed mwanawasa and continue his wish.
Our next president should have moral character which is an evaluation of an individual’s moral qualities. The concept of character can imply a variety of attributes including the existence or lack of virtues such as integrity, courage, fortitude, honesty, and loyalty, or of good behaviors or habits. When someone is a moral character, it is primarily referring to the assemblage of qualities that distinguish one individual from another
vote for a person with integrity.
Dr. Kapool is right. If the gov’t does not quickly reform the energy, transport and agricultural sectors, the country will loose a lot of investors. Change is inevitable. This is one thing I appreciated about our late president (RIP), he understood the need to restructure Zambia in order to move forward.
then GRZ should pay us the student suffering in cold Russia ,coz we will die soon.
Personal analysis.Who has brought about this progress apart from late LPM.This is as a result of fiscal displine,prudent economic
Management steered by FM (MAGANDE)it’s unfortunate these are the people who have been sidelined.
2011 for MAGANDE.
RB,Whats your view over succession attributed to MAGANDE?
It’s not normal for you to keep quite on that one,say something.
All the credit to the FM (Mr. Peter Ng’ndu Magande) for his hard work and discipline.
SATA IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
Magande is the engine for all that. Thanx ba mudala.
Kateka
Minister in those critical sectors should be pressured to improve those areas that are critical to the further improvement of the country’s economy. All in all good job
ba mmd mwaitaya
Ba Lusaka Times we need the issue at hand please. something in line of suceeding mwanawasa. ubushiku Nsofu ifwile, nelyashi libapo lya Nsofu.
world bank issues should come later.
Nah you cant attribute Zambia’s improved performance to one person. It’s the policies implemented by the MMD as a whole that has made Zambia go forward economically. This thing of praising LPM (MHSRIP) has to come to a end now. The man never received so much praise whilst he was alive, no wonder Maureen was so upset and mentioned in her speech that the niggers were only appreciating him post humously.
If all are saying we have moved forward why would you want to change the ruling party? Let MMD rule for all our sakes!
Dr. Kapil Kapool is trying to please his bosses at the World Bank in DC.
This DR Kapil lives in Mulungushi Village he doesn’t see the poverty, unemployment street vending and has never been to UTH.
80% of Zambians still live in poverty. What progress are these blood sackers ” World Bank ” cheering about in Zambia. Progress is only on paper not on ground.
There’s nothing to be proud of in Zambia. There’s no development what’s so ever pa Zambia.
The potholes, dirty smelly hospitals, high death rates, unemployment street vending please let’s not be excited over nothing
thats good nuz, but we need millie meal, fuel etc prices down
It is a huge mistake to cheer Zambia at this hour, There is a long way to go
Zambia is still 165 out of 177 countries according to the Human Development Index. That is very close the the bottom…
We are tired of this wishful thinking that “things are getting better” – it’s nonsense. It’s only getting better for the investors and for the elite.
VOTE FOR KING COBRA
Le4t us not let these power hungry mongers destroy what has now been praised. It will be a very big disappointment. Let us continue working hard for this progress to keep on rising.
See what I mean? No education system…
Zambians will never cease to amaze me. What did you want the poor man to say? That we are 1 out of 181? That would have made u feel better? Remember at some point we where at 182 out of 181. This is steady progress and thats what we call development and not that 90 days theory Sata gives you that even himself will will sweat to explain how he will achieve it. BRAVO Zambia. The journey continues. We know to get to 1 from 181 is not easy and its a process but we will get there one day. Vote wisely, in short vote RB.
World bank is just happy that atleast they have recovered and made a lot of profit from our money borrowed decades ago and want to entice us borrow more. Remember guys that these chaps are in business and will say anything not to disappoint their loyal customers.
#8. ichi Giriki,
Let us understand that governance is not about one man.
If I tell you that the progress came because Ephraim Mateyo will you agree with me or not?
I must tell you that in a country where there is lawlessness there can be no development.
So the minister of mines cannot say, its me because of my minerals’
The minister of commerce can not say it’s me because of my investment,
The minister of local govt cannot say it’s me because I provided needed services for safe living.
Why should the minister of Finance say it’s me because i managed the money.
And by the way, you dont need a minister of finance to be president to manage finances.
#23 I’m not saying there’s no development. What I’m saying is that
1) It’s not very much (better than nothing of course, but nothing to cheer about)
2) It’s only benefiting a few people
Magande’s economics is about appeasing investors. He treats investors with kid gloves.
I for one would like to see Magande fired because his economics does nothing to improve the livelihood of the people on the ground it’s just on the paper.
#25 continued..
Instead you need one with leadership to enable each of these specialised guys to function to their best.
You see, when you dont understand governance, this is what happens.
You will get a guy who is a very good medical doctor and make him president giving reasons that he has been a very good surgeon.
Being an economist does not mean you are a leader; this is why africa has been having problems, misplacement of human resource.
This is why some of you think SATA can be president, because you dont under his expertise and strength.
I have told you before, that SATA is opposition leader and not president, OK
That development Dr Kapool is talking about, cant see it brining any good food on my table.Maybe and i say MAYBE for my great great great grandchildren.As for now lets focuss on the issue at hand.PLOT ONE.
thats just on paper,,we would love to see this same progress on the ground not paper work
#25 continued..
You must understand that governance calls for leadership, not just specialised skill strength.
This is because you have a responsibility understand and accomodate all areas of the country’s neads and understanding how you creat working environment for all players
When you see the economy grow, dont look at the minister of Finance only; that is too shallow.
And thinking like that you make a poor leader, because you will not understand that a nurse contributes to the economy.
They way we look at things makes me wonder…
Energy, telecommunications, railway systems and agriculture … agriculture sticks out like a sore thumb there. The government needs to focus on infrastrural development especially transport and communications.
See how advanced transport and communications sectors in Asia and Europe have a multitude of economic sub-support systems for online vendors, transport hub operators and ticketing businesses. It just takes commitment and far-sightedness to do these things.
27 E Cake: it is clear that you have no understanding of what it takes to build a strong economy, appeasing investors is not a vice, if you want a mortgage, car loan, school loan, or any other loan in a developed country you bet your ass you will not only have to appeased the lending institution but to literally kiss their ass. The same is true for countries, if you want to attract investors you must make it easy for them to do business (strong laws that is pro business, backing and infrastructure etc.). The fact is, Zambia needs their money they don’t need Zambia to make money.
I wanted to vote so that MMD is out of power but alas the opposition is not uniting to boot this beast out of power. I have five eligible voters in my house. Since yet again the opposition is going to split the votes no need to que for an obvious out come, RBB despite all his gang destroyers will carry a day. For me and my family it will be another holiday on 30th October. I really sad for this continuation of leaders’ self satisfaction.
No. 23 and No. 25 thus the truth. The Tax man can’t claim the progress to himself no. This is a collective achievement as cabinet. Let him just manage his ministry well.
Let us not agree theory which can not be proved by themselves. We are not children any longer. Takana ivooooooooooooo.
RB kuya bebeleeeeeeeeeeeee.
But nothing is coming down in zambia, goods in our country are just expensive but we are doing fine economically how?
You are talking about leadership; Magande served as Secretary General of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) between 1995 and 2000. If leading a group of 79 member States successfully on the world stage is not considered good enough to prove his capabilities you tell me which of the people fighting for the presidency have any credential that comes close to that of Magande’s. Not in 100 years will Zambia be able to replace Magande.

37 Onlooker: I agree with you, it is strange how all you critics of Magande’ policies towards Zambian Airline are now quiet, now that SATA and all others say that they agree with his thinking. Magande is the Architect of Zambia’s economic success and that you cannot take away from him…. He is a GREAT Zambian; the country would be much better-off if we had more leaders like him.
Magande was chased in the U.S for corruption.
Zambia can do better than Magande.
Mangade just wanted the top office. Its no wonder since MMD voted for RB, Mangande is not happy at all. His face shows it and he can easily manupulate or sabotage the economy if MMD Continued to rule.Lets all vote wisely, the MMD as it is now is defeatable.
Give praise where it is due. Magande and his team can still continue even under RB’s term. But then let the achievement of this government trickle to the very least person in rural Zambia. There is still so much poverty all round this country, not only in the rural areas actually but also right here in town. many people are struggling. just take a walk to some of these compounds here in Lusaka ala mwandi, cilajahya nsoni, the appalling poverty that greets you just when you get there would bring tears to your faces. So when the World Bank says we are doing fine, well we can say yes but most of our people are failing to have 3 meals per day.
Has anyone noticed how the pro-Sata team seems to only condemn, insult, criticise, annoy, shout… etc without analysing anything properly. The only thing I keep seeing is lumpenism, kaponya style, igo igo, ng’wang’wazi. Whenever something requires thinking, they simply resign it to “Sata won’t do that”. You can never run away from facts and educated people talk facts on official matters because they feel embarrassed when their statements are wrong and have to haunt them. In short, educated masses rely on their word. Sata is popular mainly to people who refuse to reason, think and/or analyse.
And infact some of these developmental projects were started by FTJ. LPM just implemented these projects which were already on paper at the time.
#44 Continued…
The danger for this tendency is that when he gets to plot 1, he will be required to think. When he fails to think he will start pushing people. You, the very critical Satanists (forgive the pun) will be the very same ones who will cry the loudest.
LT, please maintain a database of these discussions. I will need to quote them.
Viva RB viva HH viva anybody else but Sata.
Interesting, Zambian when are we going to start calling a spade a spade? we have a very difficult time appreciating while we are quick to condemn. Bravo to the new deal govt and their policies and this should be attributed to the whole govt and not just magande. Great he has managed the ministry of finance but that is his good and its all team work, he can’t be singled out.It starts with govt staying away from running businesses to giving autonomy to the central bank where Fundanga and team have been good.
As much as i really dont think RB is the greatest choice, the rest of the candidates are jokers,honestly can we allow Sata to rule the nation? We just need a strong cabinet to help RB.
This world bank that you praise so blindly, the IMF these are the institutions that keep Zambians enslaved to a lifetime of suffering through debt repayment. Incase you didn’t know, they’ve never had your interests at heart. It’s a bank for goodness’s sake, they also want to MAKE money. Don’t be fooled my fellow countrymen and women. This is what everybody has now come to know as neo-colonialism. It’s subtle, therefore making it almost impossible to halt, as a beggar can’t bite the hand that feeds him. By the way, 100 out of 181 is no achievement at all.
#44 you are a wrong chap all together.
Don`t tell me that the whole of Lusaka and copperbelt who voted for Sata last time were stupid. These are the brain workers of the economy who are runing companies and paying heavy taxes just for your benefit. This will happen again i promise.
Lets not say change just for the sake of saying change,we have to realize that we are a young and learning country, so dont expect the govt to be great. Other than a few ministers, this is one of the best assembled teams we have had.Pabwato pabwato? let Sata manage his party first and then he can try to manage the country, bullying is not the way out.Sata should stay out of govt and only be a pressure group. Agreed RB and team have issues to address-salaries,UNZA,UTH. on salaries, these guys have families too and we are encouraging them to be corrupt if we deny them increments, maybe not that % but let them feed their families. UNZA and UTH, thats why govt should not run any institution.
RB as Vice president (Acting president) is already failing to deliver. He has failed to give a simple student’s allowance to Zambians. We are in a foreign land and the Russia-Zambia contract can be cancelled by the Russian government if students are unable to support themselves.
Money for allowances was released in the national budget and RB’s poor leadership is failing to forward it to students.
How many times do we have to dialog before we resort to embarassing this RB leadership by demonstrating at the Zambian embassy in Moscow?
#49 Sata works on group thinking, mob psychology, kaponya style of thinking. Open your eyes and analyse. He makes independent thinkers look stupid. That is why he easily falls into the realm of bad language and abuse whenever he runs out of ideas. He is called a ‘performer’ bcoz he verbally (or otherwise) abuses you if you don’t do something. He needs to offer solutions not beating (or insulting)people. We are now civilised, you don’t need anybody to whip you for not doing anything. You are too valuable for that. No matter who you are, foolish or otherwise, you have some value. Sata enjoys diminishing this in people and so do his followers.
Hellow # 47. Chintomfwa the Death monger,
Finally you have gained some courage to revert to your death mongering Id hah!After weeks of insulting, mocking Mwanawasa and,assigning yourself the task of falsely announcing the death of Pres.Mwanawasa who was still battling with haemorloge in UCU where he was confined you here sleeplessly devoted to announcing his death. You started from day one in the Egyptian surgery only silenced by fate of August 19 a gap of three weeks from your zealous announcements.Just what was in Mwanawasa’s death for you to be that obsessed and wishful of his demise?Are opportunities many now that Levy is no more? How happy are you?
We have made some modest progress. The leadership and the citizens have tried. Credit to all. But if we had bad leadership the nation would have stagnated and possibly worsened off. Rite now we have RB and his tandem of thieves, HH and his pomposity, and the king cobra, to pick from. Is this all Zambia can offer in terms of leadership?
I ask my self why we failed to pick the best people for the job. is it coz they lack resources. cant we donate the american way to the right person.Soon Miyanda will be old and disqualified, and we have rejected one of the best.The best president zambia never had. mr integrity, disciplinarian,with a good vision for this nation. We only have ourselves to blame
a white man will never allow aother country especially african to develop. do’nt be fooled. they’re in business, they are milking us, WAKE ZAMBIANS!
#51 Permanent Secretary & #7 putin from russia, are u saying that you are suffering in Russia at the moment?
LT, why do u keep changing my flag. Am in W/lands, Zed.
This progress is not because of our sweat. We have just been lucky that the prices have gone up in the World market and Muzungu from neighbouring countries have boosted agriculture in Zambia.
Keep the debate clean and issue-based
#25 FINE,
i’m focusing on the key factor
we can’t deny the fact that all have played there role.
but the key element for that prosperity.Look at how Zed managed to
overcome the HIPC,e.g who was instrumental?
That is good news for mother Zambia. We now need a good road network. We need to learn how to create wealth amongst ourselves and to create jobs. Lets embark on building good transport network and let this be done by Zambians because when we embark on this plan that will be a long term plan, we will create jobs for Zambians, and learn from other countries, the people who pay for road construction and maintenance are road users so we need good road tax system, emissions fees, we need to build toll bridges on frequently used roads etc. We also need a good rail network and need to start thinking of TRAMS in Zambia as well.
Kwena mu Zambia we dont have Economists, very embarrassing. The boom in mining activities has been driven by higher copper prices to a large extent and not Magande policies. Abena Penza had to deal with bigger economic issues at a time when copper was only US$ 1,000 per tonne plus a huge amounts of money servicing the debt. But lucky Magande…it is plain sailing. Imagine, now the price of copper is about US $10,000 per tonne….honestly how can u fail to grow the economy ? The investors in mining are here bcoz of higher copper prices. If the bubble busrt, we all know that the mine investors will disappaer. Magande has failed to sort out the taxes on fuel, which wud help Zambian Airways.
You cannot vomit , eat your vomit and then expect not to get sick. Thats what is happening to Zambia with old politicians being reccyled.
We will get sick with these old fellows who have been doing politics even before Zambia was born- pre 1964. Some of these guys have been doing thier round since the time HH was a small boy in 1962
BA SATA PA QFM NOW, exciting listeners.
Chi Bwezani has just lost my vote. We are trying to get away from regional politics and re emphasise ONE ZED ONE NATION.This old man goes to EP and says i expect 100% votes because i’m from the region. What kind of stupidity is that? NEWS FLUSH people should vote for you because you have a plan to fix the many problems that affect zambians today. Not because your BIG norse hells from the region you moron.
Magande and the POST dont know that Zambian airways is failing due to higher fuel prices due to high taxes implemeted by Magande for 7 years. He has a proud record of Zambian fuel been the highest in price in Africa…what a super minister of finance we have. If the price of fuel is right the POST will manage to National Airports. Dont politise simple business transactions…ba Nchito nabo employ a dynamic CEO to turnaround yo company. You are a lawyer and not good in managing airline business.
Gud news but has to atart from somewhere and not all people will start benefiting right there amd then.
LPM was a gud implementer and you dont expect him to ignore some gud policies which were itiated by FTJ. FTJ initiated some but failed to implement coz he was busy pocketing the money.So number 45 thats your answer.
LPM was a better president than FTL by 500times.
#66 you are missing the point the main issue which no one is talking about is how the Nchito’s have plundered the nation. 10 years ago these where just popers. now they own airlines and NMC. Just think about it. LPM was protecting the family tree. He is gone and what you are seeing with Zambian airways is just the tit of the ice beg. These rats will be smoked out of the holes and brought to justice. Why do you think Maureen wanted magande? why is the post calling Bwezani judas??? by the way the POST has a huge stake in ZA. Watch and learn my friends. If ZA has financial difficulties go get a loan just like any other business would. Remember its a private company.
Nunber 65 ypu are right.
#53, in my defense it may be a different person using the same screen name. I would never wish death or misled for any purpose at all. I actually one of those assuring Zambians that it was rumors first time it was announced. Back to the issue at hand,as a nation we need courage to get away from the usual politicking because it scares those that can actually affect change to shun politics or seek the highest office when you know once you lose you will be “bruised”, at the moment we will be voting on who is the lesser evil, a shame for our nation indeed but we should also have the courage in the diaspora to invest in zambia and join in moving our nation forward as people in zambia are doing.
The marriage of convinience between PF and UPND should be sunctioned and supported by all progressive minds. UPND and PF must dislodge the MMD from power this November 2008. After victory is attained, this is how power should be shared; SATA should be made President to control Cabinate and the police service, while HH should be made Vice President to control the Defence and Security. Also HH must control Finance, trade and industry upto 2011. By this time HH would have gained enough experience to become president. HH must serve under Sata after the October 30, 2008 elections and become Zambian President in 2011. VIVA SATA VIVA HH
…and what has SATA done through out his political career that make you think Zambia will walk on water when he becomes president? It appears some people are after the brown envelops that our late president fault so tirelessly during his term in office. Think guys! you will not see any decent headlines when these lot (SATA &HH) come to power!! The devil you know is always better than the one you don’t. KK warned us once and we failed to listen.
When you look at the history of Zambian politics there has always been marrieges of convenience. In 1962 UNIP and ANC came together to beat the colonial powers. in 1963 the Lozi’s under the leasership of the Winas joined with Bembas under UNIP to beat ANC. In this late be its healthy to try and break the tribal bondage. I just hope the politicians are sincere in their dealings not to short change the other camps once they win elections.HH is still young. If Cobra is made president for 3 years he will be happy to let HH stand come 2011 and i’m sure HH will be happy to campaign for me come 2021.
#17 you are spot on. But the fact is as long as you are servicing the world bank and imf loans, you are bound to be upgraded by them. Whether its on the expense of the zambian pipo. KAPOOL is a tax collector and i am pretty sure that he is collecting more than enough to balance up his books with his bosses in DC. Its got nothing to do with economic indicators which are even tangible to a common man.
Greater need for change of govt.
I sincerely would like to thank and encourage those in the forefront of business operations and have been able to steer customer service to a higher level. Keep it up ladies and gentlemen. In general Zambia lags behind in customer service mostly because of the Mr. Kupe mentality and fya buteko or va boma. Quick service coupled with respect for customers promotes good relationship(s) between the consumer and service provider it be government or not. One wonders why it should take months to obtain a new Reg Card or Passport, or why one’s palm has to be oiled before the service is rendered. One Zambia One Nation to you all.
#28 Fine. The qualities of a good leader u v jst describe are the attributes of MICHAEL SATA. Sata is not really educated as in having an academic degree. But he appreciates educated pipo. There he employs and surrounds himself with educated men and women to have the job (or jobs) done. He is one of the few politicians I know who feels comfortable with educated pipo, and he make unpopular business decisions. The other 1 is Kenny Livingstone. Thats why at his rallies he is able to make think tanks, illiterates, old, young intermingle and shake hands with each other.
#51 Permanent Secretary. ‘Shut your mouth and just grab snow and eat it. We have to reward ourselves first with hefty salaries. We will throw you some leftovers, later.’
#51, be reminded that RB chap is contracted from UNIP due to a shortage of expertise in MMD. Mind you UNIP never liked educated people. UNIP politicians used to tell UNZA graduate to eat their degrees. Thats the situation coming back to Zambia. Rupia is one and the same animal.
#71 and #73. You have said it. Logic should prevail here. Sata is hardworking and old. Therefore, he should be given the first chance and he will be too happy to campaign for HH. With his influence there is no way HH is going to lose the 2011 elections. If job well done (am sure it will) we can support HH through his two terms and still avoid mmd till kingdom come.
Sata will sweep the house for HH’s occupancy after having been gloomed.
#77 Peter, you’re very funny! An interesting comment. But it’s true the MMD government has stranded students abroad. They should look into our problems
Permanent secretary, u havent answered my question on #56.
How do you define progress in this Sense! I think it is progress for those Zambian who are among the top 100. MAGINALISATION is still seen on higher levels.
No. 80 this is not the first time the govt has failed to pay the Zambian students in Russia on GRZ bursary on time, i think the chap responsible for this should be fired immediately, we cannot starve students in a foreign country, where can they go for help? My cousin is one of those students there and i’ve just spoken to her, she says the situation is very bad. No. 51 good work! I’ve known about this Russian issue on this blog. After reading your comments i decided to call my cousin whose one of the students in Russia, she says the situation is very bad, sorry i’m not trying to divert the discission,I just got concerned when i read ’bout the Russian issue, perhaps that why we should vote HH
#82 Kampopo thanx 4 that. My nephew is about 2 go there. Yo advice?
There is world bank
There is world court(international court of justice)
There is world parliament(UN General assembly)
There is NO leader yet,but coming very soon.
This no economics it is THE NEW WORLD ORDER which was announced by Bush Sr.
Maybe ba LT will be able to carry out some investigative journalism about this and come to the assistance of forsaken and starving scholarship students. It is shameful that all our neighbours from other African countries now know our situation. #80 its just that the school year began half a month ago and now we cant buy materials as there is no project allowance
Kapil Kapool – MMD carde
#84 Yeah man, wake dem up becah it seems dem don’t know ’bout de New World Order. Long time I an I overstand seh Babylon have a concept and a plan fi kill off de Black race and de World Bank is just anoda part of dem plan. Woe unto dem! My people don’t be misled, think wise instead!
41. E Cake:
I do hope you will be back on in the morning because there is one particular piece of propaganda you keep spreading concerning Magande that I would like you to clarify with facts (news paper article, court document etc.) because for days now you keep repeating the same rubbish. You claim that, “Magande was chased from the U.S. for corruption,” Fact: Magande, at no time in his live lived nor worked in the U.S. so please enlighten me as to under what circumstance did your lies occurred? To you I say this, “empty vessel s make the most noise,” I rest my case.
I very much agree with #19. Its very pre-mature to praise the Zambian economy as at now, there is too much poverty in some homes in Zambia, only a very stupid fool can actually say that we are economically doing fine. The fruits of the claimed good economical perfomance are absent at grassroot. A poor Zambian in KALIKILIKI, KANSENGU,RACE COURSE KAMATIPA,MAKULULU,KALOKO,ZAMBIA COMPOUND,IMWISHO etc is starving to death and burying his children daily due to poor distribution of economical resourses. Wake Zambians, KWACHA lomba.
Respect for the govt, well done , keep the gud work till it filters to the last man in the nation.
Lets continue doin gud for the pple, with RB in place i think it shall be forward , backward never, aluta continueba.
God bless Zambia
