RB promises to tackle poverty in Luapula

Share

Acting President Rupia Banda has pledged to address the problem of poverty in  Luapula by focusing at exploring the vast mineral and water resources potential for the benefit of the people in the province.

Mr. Banda said Luapula Province has a lot of potential which could contribute not only to improve welfare of the people of the area but the national economy as a whole.

Mr. Banda was speaking on arrival at Mansa airport where he addressed hundreds of residents who gathered to welcome him.

Mr. Banda said once elected President he will address the existing poverty on the area as a challenge in order to achieve positive results.

He said his generation of leaders are determined to take over from where President Mwanawasa left and ensure that all developmental programmes initiated are completed.

He said he is a proud man to have the opportunity to officially launch the levy Mwanawasa Bridge across the Luapula River.

I am proud that I have the opportunity to open the bridge across the Luapula River which is the brain child of late President Mwanawasa.

Mr. Banda said the late Dr. Mwanawasa will be greatly missed by the people of Luapula Province for the initiative to embark on the bridge construction project across the river.

Earlier Luapula Province Minister Chrispine Musosha said the people of Luapula Province  are happy with the MMD government for the various developmental projects embarked on in the area.

He sited the palm- oil out grower scheme and the construction of the Levy Mwanawasa Bridge as among key projects whose objective are to enhance economic projects and help create wealth among the people.

Mr. Musosha is confident that the levy Mwanawasa Bridge, which will be officially opened this Saturday will improve trade not only between the province and the Copperbelt but the rest of the country and the Eastern Southern African region.

The Provincial Minister said the Province which has vast tourism potential has also been given various opportunity to show case its rich tourism both for local and foreign investors.

He further indicated that people in Luapula Province are happy with the path taken by government in the constitution making process.

He said people are confident that the durable National Constitution will be achieved through the National Constitution Commission (NCC).

Mr. Banda  is in the province to check on developmental projects and officiate at the Kwanga ceremony and launch of the Chembe Bridge.

He is also expected to hold a number of campaign meetings in the province.

  1. Liars!The Chembe bridge is not LPM’s brainchild.It is a very old project for which funding became available during the late President’s tenure. Any other leader could have done it had they been given the opportunity. So don’t take credit of the project.Give us roads, schools, hospitals….

  2. I HEREBY OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE MY FULL SUPPORT FOR THE RIGHT HONOURABLE HAKAINDE HICHILEMA FOR THE PLOT 1. VIVA HH!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Why only Luapula? There are nine provinces in Zambia. He should be honest in his speeches otherwise Mr. Mulongoti has to apologise on his behalf.

  4. How many MMD leaders are going to visit this bridge. Nayashupa a campaign. It is only HH who is addressing real issues. Vote for HH the man. He has the keys to development

  5. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE COME 30th OCTOBER BUT I HAVE MANAGED TO INFLUENCE THE OPINION OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS (AND THATS A HUGE NUMBER OF VOTES) IN ZAMBIA SO THAT THEY CAN VOTE FOR HH INSTEAD OF THIS OLD SUGARDADDY OR THE HULIGAN SATA. MY CONCIOUS IS CLEAR THAT MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE PLUNDERING AND DESTRUCTION OF OUR NATION SHOULD RB OR SATA GET TO PLOT 1

  6. Ba Mudala ba bwezani!!! dont talk of the bridge which was in plan way back. we want ot see more jobs being creatd for the youths in zambia.

  7. My sweet Princess (#3), I am glad good sense has prevailed. I showed my pet dog the picture of RB above and the poor dog has been hiding behind the sofa ever since. Looks like Shrek !!!

  8. #11 The Kind One, thanks for your observation. However, I believe that there are many people out there who hold the same view as me, who are unable to vote, but can influence the vote of the people back there pa Zed. I feel that his policies will tackle the issues that matter to my family.

  9. THE BEST MAN FOR THE JOB IS (MCS)JUST FOR THREE YEARS THEN HH 2011.
    BAYA SANA BA MEAL MAD DAIRY CAMP. VIVA SATA VIVA ICHIIIIIIIBWATO

  10. #6 Why are you wooried then if your conscious is free. It is just amazing that elections have brought all these promises suddenly. What a shame this is to our already sorry country.

    To be honest with you, I doubt all these muppets deserve even a vote especially from people in the villages. Of all the things they have said, especially bi Banda, only one will be followed up-increasing salaries for MPs.

  11. Rb should have talked about the goodness of being in a boat, since it is one of the most used mode of transport in luapula. No wonder only king cobra can make sense.Viva pabwato

  12. #18 ba Anonymous, I am not worried at all. In fact, I am elated at the idea of HH as my president. My family and friends are definately going to vote. Its the fact that they will now vote for HH that makes me even more joyful!!

  13. #14 Princess – You are not only a princess but a sweet princess. I like your sense of humour!!! Go HH!!

  14. RB should just go back to Chipata where he came from there is nothing he can and will do for zambia. Even the late SC, we spent 7 years investingating FTJ wasting resources, the sold the mines for a song. what developent are talking about the Dollar is heading towards the 4pin mark anytime # 2 i aggree with you 100% we need they are pathetic liars. this time you will see a real mess if Suga Dee goes to plot 1 worser than even what ka home wrecker did

  15. #14 Tonga Bull, thanks.
    Now all of us HH supporters out in the diaspora really need to be on the phone to all the voters we can get hold of and encourage them to ensure a smooth, sweet, victorious transition of our president to plot 1.

  16. am tied between HH and Sata, am a bit religious, is HH a manson, and what is a Manson anyway. Sata’s promises sound good, are they really possible?

  17. #8 and #14 you how can you be so cruel to animals that picture must have been traumatising to the poor animals. am calling the RSPCA !!!!!!!!!!!

  18. #26, go to Sata and HH’s websites, read their manifestos and tell me if you are still in two minds. Sata’s won’t take you too long to read coz he’s got it all in capital letters font 20

  19. Sui. my dear let vote HH in 2011 depending on how sata comes out HH is still Raw, he need to stand on his feet and clear the ” UPND can only be ruled by a Tonga” image that still lingers on many pipos minds, in 2001 it was Mazoka for zambia but HH took a path , thats wat has killed. have no fear dear one. we shall roll the boat gently down the stream.

  20. Ba Mozegetta, let the man lose gracefully. We don’t want him to say he lost because he had to cut his campaign short to spend time in an RSPCA cage.

  21. Rb niawe landako fimbi yashani ! osati ubufi kumbi wabepa pali oil discovery uko watwala ilyashi lyachikwepe.Ama bad manas ububi

  22. Princess (#28), a bull dog is closer to home than Shrek and I totally agree!

    They have posted HH video’s on You Tube for those who would like to watch what they showed over the last weekend. HH is the most knowledgeable and articulate of the three by miles. RB will need some serious ‘panel beating’ mentally (image building?) and physically before he is aired on the show sweet Princess.

    Sui (#26), HH is not a Free Mason. Google that and see what it tells you.

  23. no 34 very untrue. i have been to all the campains there is no such slogan. actually there is very little campain in the towns they are busy seeing the chiefs and promising them used 4x4s SUVS

  24. # 31 Are you going to manage living in the futureless past ? leave HH out of that the man has the answer for Zambia.VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  25. We’ve heard these bullsh!t lies before Mr Rupiah Toadface Banda. Same old stories, can’t you at least try some new fairy tales? P.S that face of RB makes my screen flicker, something sinister about those rubber-like lumps of flesh under the chin. It comes from eating more than the poor people in your country.

  26. 3 years ago if you had asked our “rat munchin” eastener where he would be in 3 years i’m sure the thought of republican president was nowhere on his mind. yet there he is, vying for presidency. are we that short of leadership? come on guys…

  27. # 37 in politics your past matters, wat you do and say today can ruin you in the future. RB is dealing with image builders coz of his past. things that happened in many years ago ve cropped up and are damaging him today. dont run way from that fact dear.

  28. # 39 wen i asked RB 3 years ago he told me i want to look after my young kids. play with them be the Daddy i have never been i want to spend every minute with Thandi and jst be here and never ever leave this farm. i want to enjoy the bush. God know what got into him, he needs Jesus more than Panel beating his image, he just freaked out our friends’ little dog. shame on him

  29. Thanks all you guys abroad. You may have influnced your family members to vote for HH because you are their bread winners but on that day they will surely put the vot PA CHIBWAATO. COME BACK AND VOTE IF YOU THINK HH CAN MAKE

  30. If either RB (Toadface!! Nice one #38) or Sata are the best we can do, then kwasila – Zambia will continue being a non-performing 4th world banana state.

    Mozogetta (#40), I agree with you that it will take more than a well paid image builder to clear RB’s past record of documented corruption in KK days. What is very annoying is that they are using our tax money to ‘panel beat’ something that can not be panel beaten !!!

  31. #31 what do you mean that HH is raw. HH is the same age with Obama who wants to be USA (world) president. Stop insulting zambians who made the constitution and decided that any one above 35 is qualified to be president. Sata will die in office and you will be back with your begging bowl for more for another by election.

  32. People this is just politics dont take it too personal.otherwise people you are fighting for dont even know you.shame that you are being indoctrinated otherwise take it easy mwema cadres!

  33. It is all intresting getting different views and comments ,some objective and some with little or no substance but this is democracy at work.Lets discourage people to vote on tribe lines and encouurage dissermination of vital information to be useful to every citizen of the nation in making informed decisions. Will be falling as technocrats if we are looking at who is closest to me, to me it doesnt matter what tribe the president will be , but what is cardinal is the political development plan for the nation . Economic developmental plan is not enough to foster development, autonomy will be equally important ingredient in cultivating the lost socil. capital the country needs.

  34. Good people, open unnuh eyes, me beg! Don’t be fooled by de bigga heads dem. Dem busy callin’ de shots and dem nuh lick none. When de worse comes to de worst, dis very bigga head yu see a go sell out de land for one tin a milk! Dread a bun dem ahready and still a bun dem yet…Jah fire cyaan cool!

  35. Pumpy (#47) darling, the only people who resort to mindless (brainless) vivulaling, sloganeering and chanting are party cadres. Clearly your stay in a foreign country has not gotten rid of the villager in you! You and all PF (Poor Finishing) supporters are urging Sata to a quick death as if the death of Mwanawasa wasn’t a lesson enough. Please let these old men go and rest twapapata !!!

  36. Babyloni..good point..ALL THE EXCITEMENT WILL COME AND GO…IN THE END WE SHALL NOT SEE ANY REAL DEVELOPMENT…POVERTY POVERTY..PIPO HAVE GOTTEN USED TO BEING POOR…THEY EVEN SAY MULUNGU NIYE A ZIBA.

    SOOOOOORY

  37. #44 Ma bratha Chris. wen i say HH is raw he aint got experience in politics, as for Obama hes politcal career goes way back in 1996 as senator of Illinois. he grown gragually. our HH, emerged as a result of Andy’s Death.(we dearly miss him) he was pipos Man. just like RB he came on the scene coz he’s mentor died.as for Sata we can see where hes coming from just like Barack Hussein Obama. we are Zambians lets do wats rite for Zed. you are there coz things are not rite here, if things were perfect here you wud have been with your folks and siblings.back here

  38. There is one common thing between the late LPM and HH. Both came on the scene due to a crisis. Chiluba created a crisis and birthed LPM. Masoka’s death brought a crisis and birthed HH. So what would you expect from being born into politics because of a crisis.RB was equally brought in because of a leadership crisis and he thinks that maybe if he brings white skinned image builders his party will be popular like PF because it has incorporated all zambia citizenly like the likes of scout and the white Zambian farmers. VIva pa chibwaato.

  39. Bakalali Pakuvotela Toadface. OK hats off to the guy who named RB “toadface” mulibakali, am going to bed now folks.

  40. U cant straighten a bend sweet potato or else it would break . Sata cadres or can we call dem satanist are shumbu mushololwa . Even when it is clear dat da old man is tired they cant change .

  41. Never heard of ubwanga ceremony b4, I mean so many ceremonies are coming out and the acting/vice President is attending all of them. Serious the Chembe bridge will help a lot, but the Challenge is the Pedicle Road, the bridge has no use without the paving and upgrading of that Road.

  42. #57 if you gave chance to some who had mental lapses what of a perfomer. Dont forget death is very certain for human kind but we cannot stop building because we may die 2moro …. it is stupid and foolish. Who knew the young Dean would answer the call before LPM. VIva Sata pa chibwaato

  43. #58 true,it takes me 8hrz to gt to my vilage in kawambwa-mushota,wth pedicle tarrd,tht cn b reducd to 5 hrz.rili nid it wokd n.

  44. In the run up to the presidential elections my opinion is that HH is the best candidate to be Prsident .Unfortunately come 30th october 2008 he will not be elected president because his party is percieved to be tribalist.Some elements who support the party have blantantly stated that upnd is for tonga’s and lozi’s.Upnd organisers in london will not approach you about upnd if you are bemba.When HH had a meeting with the Zambian community in London only Tonga’s and lozi’s where in attendance. HH you need all nine provinces to be behind you in order to enter plot no. one

  45. #61 unfortnately thts upnd 4 real.it wil take them 20 yrz to hav a chance..thy js run dwn wat mazoka built,wat mo if u alow pipo lyk ackson sejani to join ur party..and litle do thy knw o mayb thy ignore tht tribalism is primitive,wake up upnd..

  46. Am tod sata wont go2 campagn in n western p coz he had threatened to anex the prvince en gv it2 angola pipo there are angry rmemba it was in the same prvnce were lpm got 105000 votes en sata got 5000 only

  47. what of sata’s party. talk of the GBM, willy Nsanda, Mumbi. so it only become tribal when its another tribe. be sincere with your self. or u are just like your leader.

  48. #64 hu tod u sata is my leader..he has neva cum ot to say only a bisa cn rule pf,bt upnd tod th nation tht only a tonga cn b upnd presdnt,so im js quoting wat thy tod us..nowanda membe wrote al ths an xposd thm

  49. Ba PF there is no river to plot 1, i wonder how u will sail through.
    Forgive RB it was slip of the tongue, but hope it was the first and last. Plot 1 should not be for every jim & jack, let those with the skill do it. VIVA HH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  50. 58 ulimulwele, u cn blood hung. tel me who luks capable of th 3. rb hs outlived his usefulness, hh is 4 2011, hes raw for nw. miyanda is stil in bed, hes just an mmd vote splitter.

  51. Iwe shimugodi u hv left yr sense at 1340 meta level underground . U mean carring 2 billion public fund in a chopa 4 harrasing opnet is performing ? Be serious boyi u ‘ll be suffering pa mugodi 4 nothing.

  52. The point is whoever wants to be president has to have all the nine provinces behind him. If he decides to be local he is only shooting himself in the foot.HH is the best candidate but mark my words he will not be president unless he repositions his party.

  53. RB is a proven liar, why should people believe him when he gives campaign promises? Why would someone whose character should speak for him need to hire WHITE, FOREIGN so-called image builders? Vote wisely. Avoid liars.

  54. Whose decision was it to name the bridge after the late president? I agree with those who state that the bridge project was conceived a long time ago and could not take off due to lack of funding. Funds had been redirected to the liberation struggles in the region and later copper prices fell etc etc.

    Such statements coming from a person like Mr R Banda who is standing for a high office in our country really concern me. He does not appear serious at all. Its like a big joke for him. Should he trusted to lead Zambia?? I have my doubts!

  55. Good grief what a terrible picture!

    If I were a registered voter in Luapula I would not vote for him. Do you want to know why? I would ask him to explain how the people of Luapula would benefit from mineral investment in the region. What examples of success will he show me? Will the investers be Zambians or will they all be foreign again? I think that it is insulting to think that people can be hoodwinked all the time.

  56. Luapula is a non starter 4 mmd.kawambwa tea-rubish,copper mines in chiegi we cnt c dvelnopmt 4 th pipo xcept th damagin of th rods..tourism,nthn to point to,lok at samfya beach,th number of wota falls,al these ar nt benefitin th locals,and ths is lyk hapenin country wide..nid change jst mweh..

  57. Thanks a lot your excellence, but can you tell us how you will address the problem of poverty, in short how are you going to improve the lives of the poor villagers in Luapula from the water resources?

  58. I LIKE THE WAY ALL OF YOU HAVE MATURED IN POLITICS.YOUR ANALYSIS OF POLITICS KEEPS ON IMPRESSING EVERYDAY.IF MOST ZAMBIANS WERE THINKING IN THIS MANNER H.H WOULD HAVE GONE UNOPPOSED.THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE HAVE MORE OF KAPONYAS FOR SATA-NA AND MORE OF OPPORTUNISTS/PARASITES FOR THE PICTURE ABOVE.ISSUE BASED H.H,THUGGERY MISUNDERSTOOD SATA-NA AND IMAGE BUILDER SUGAR DAD..

  59. RB if you have nothing to say to the people of luapula just say please vote for me not telling UBUFI/BOZA that mwanawasa is the brain behind that bridge please dude ba bwana tamukwete fyakulanda

  60. Its sad that RB is liaring to the people of Luapula province that he will bring development to the province once voted as president at an expenses of the same MMD government that have negelected luapula province for a longtime now. In 2001 When Late Mwanawasa was coming to power he promised to reopen Mansa batteries but nothing happened till he died. He also promised to bring investors who could invest in mining magenessium existing in luapula province, till now nothing happened. The area has got potential to contribute greatly to zambian economy in tourism and mining activities but unfortunately our government has negelected it for a long time. we need change, vote ni pa bwatooo.

  61. I am sure that Ruphiono Banda is wishing to be born in Luapula. People like RB in RiverPool we call them Chituta (a kind of ground hog), for both ugliness and gathering all kind of dirty things. Even cats never eat Chituta… In Luapula MMD will get 71 votes all from the blinds of Chiyengi constituancy.

  62. Rb is the only one telling the truth) hh liar’ur offering too many free things’ Its not gona work.U just want 2 get 2 plot 1′ 2gether with your old cobra sata! Iiars! Thus y the opposition lost this elections last month. Bakaponya!!!!

  63. TO ALL THE CRITICS..WHY IS IT THAT WHENEVER ANYONE DOES ANYTHING GOOD FOR OUR COUNTRY THERE IS SO MUCH OPPOSITION? WE WANT TO SEE PROGRESS YET WE SHOOT EFFORTS DOWN B4 THEY EVEN TAKE EFFECT..MAY I REMIND YOU THAT ROME WASNT BUILD IN A DAY..THEREFORE EVERY BRIDGE CONSTRUCTED (WHETHER LUAPULA OR CHIPATA) SHOULD BE CELEBRATED…WAKE UP ZAMBIA! SOMETIMES ITS NOT THE LEADERSHIP OR THE LACK OF FUNDING THAT ARE KEEPING US BEHING..IT IT THE VERY MENTALITY OF THE PEOPLE….ONE ZAMBIA!

  64. KK could have easily built that Chembe bridge but had reservations due to the unpredictale state of the DRC. That is why he built the Mukuku away from the Kabokes. I am sure there will be times when that bridge(Chembe) will not be accessible depending on the mood the Congolese will be in.

  65. Sense is really coming to politics and the young ones have the brains not Bwezani and Sata. They say the will do this and that but have no formula. Bwezani has no ladder to get to the roof hence using Lewy. HH has it all and lets spread the news. Era for Bwezani & Sata is over, bye!!!!!!!!!

  66. MMD is full of big tym jokers……have seen it fo0r the past yrs that they have been in power.For those who are gonna vote,vote wisely,don´t let sugar nor salt tempt you and show them that luv sign so they may know that enuff can be enuff

  67. Do Luapula people have a messiah at last or is it just empty rhetoric? where are the bags of finkubala ,tute,salt and fish we expected? Someone is trying very hard to claim credit for the bridge.That bridge was in the pipeline long before the MMD was even thought of.

  68. SOMEON TO COMMENT ON THIS PLEASE!!!!
    FTJ counsels Plot 1 aspirants
    FORMER Republican president Fredrick Chiluba has advised presidential candidates in the forthcoming elections to desist from campaigning on the basis of personalities.
    Dr Chiluba told journalists in Lusaka yesterday that candidates should focus their campaign messages on how they intend to develop the country.
    Dr Chiluba said this at Edwin Imboela Stadium in Lusaka soon after attending the funeral service for the late Pentecostal Holiness Church in Zambia overseer Bishop Samson Phiri who died on Sunday.
    Responding to a question on his choice for the presidency, Dr Chiluba said he was yet to decide.’I havent made upmy positio

  72. I was in Luapula yesterday.( I was part of the initial construction phase of that bridge and I was invinted by the Chinese to prepare for tomorrow’s official commissioning of the bridge ). People, the construction of that bridge has done nothing to change the people’s desire for UBWATO. I was amazed! I will be there again tomorrow and will bring you feedback.

  73. I BEG YOU GUD PIPO OF ZED DONT ALLOW FREE MASONS (hh) AT PLOT1, THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO BE DOOMED FOREVER IF YOU DO AND WILL NOT MOVE AN INC. ANYWAY GOD IS IN CONTROL.

  79. HH interview with Frank ‘You Know’ Mutubila on ‘Channel 3pin’ Conclusion –
    1. HH tries too much to show that anyone who is not as educated is a complete fool. thats where the Kaponyas who are majority back MCS
    2. HH thinks he can give everything for free – inexperience and dreaming
    3. HH thinks Zed is for young people only and experience doent count
    4. he talks very well but says nothing and only connects with the elite

  80. RB,What can you do for us ? we do not want people who have expired in state hse.Im sure its not too late for Sata to learn farming,you can start with Balani then we see what happens hoping you do not smoke the whole field.

  81. #115 we are talking about RB and not HH…..please learn to respect other peoples opinion….too bad you dont understand the issue at hand…SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!

  82. #120 YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOESNT UNDERSTAND ISSUES and dont tell anyone what to say coz everyone here is talking about everyone on this blog – shame yourself. the truth hurts babe.so if you r the one with facts tell us what you know coz that was just my impression of what i viewed and i will say this even about RB and MCS

  83. 109 You are right. Come to think of it. For all UPND supporters this is OUR last month in opposition. from October 30 we will be THE RULING PARTY.Let me hear somebody shout HH! HH! HH!. Thats what am talking about lets do it again 1 2 3 HH! HH! HH! HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

  84. ‘Acting President Rupia Banda has pledged to address the problem of poverty in Luapula by focusing at exploring the vast mineral and water resources potential for the benefit of the people in the province.’

    This statement is vague: what actions is RB going to take in order to explore the vast mineral resources. All previous candidates have promised to explore but never tell the nation how they will do it.

  85. Agree with #123. any presidential aspirant can promise the same.what we need to know is how such a feet would be achieved?! Besides it is the duty of any leadership to harness the local resources for wealth building.telling us his job discription is not outlining his manifesto!
    RB may have a heart for the counrty but not a vision
    RB may know what the country wants,but not what it needs(and surely the country doesn’t need him)
    one thing RB knows well is that he is not the next best option for Zambia

  86. ‘It’s not money luring me to State House’
    By Obert Simwanza
    UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) leader Hakainde Hichilema says he is not seeking the Republican presidency for monetary gains because he is already comfortable.
    He said unlike other presidential aspirants in the October 30 polls, he was comfortable and joined politics as a mere service to the people of Zambia.Mr Hichilema said this in Petauke on Wednesday when he addressed a public rally at Mizyu Ground.He said the salary of the president was nothing compared to the money that he had acquired in his private business. Source: Times of Zambia

  87. As a result of that, he would ensure that he helped in the erection of dip tanks if he was elected president.
    He advised Zambians not to elect a president on tribal lines, adding that countries with successful economies were those run by young leaders like himself.
    Mr Hichilema cited the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is under Joseph Kabila, Botswana ruled by Ian Khama and Tanzania by Jakaya Kikwete, among others.
    Earlier in the day, Mr Hichilema toured Petauke main market where he bought various foodstuffs and urged the traders to vote for him.
    Soon after visiting the market, he travelled to Chipembe, a distance of 20 kilometres from Nyimba, where he addressed another rall

  88. it’s nice to be back blogers. I can see SHRECK is promising heaven on earth.
