United Party for National Development (UPND) President, Hakainde Hichilema has reiterated his election campaign promise to hike civil servants salaries to a minimum of K 3. 5 million per month once elected President on October 30, this year.

Mr Hichilema made the reiteration when he addressed two separate meetings at Kabompo town and Manyinga in Kabompo district yesterday, he said he was saddened by the current low wages paid to civil servants; saying once elected his government would pay higher salaries.

Mr Hichilema also promised that his government would provide free education from grade one to university and that his government would give free fertilizer and seeds to small scale farmers for the first three years to enhance food production.

He went on to say that his government would construct a bridge on Kabompo river at Watopa to provide the shortest route for trade between Kabompo and Lusaka, adding they would also complete tarring Mutanda-Chavuma road in three years time by providing three contractors at the same time who will be based in Kabompo, Zambezi and Chavuma respectively.

He further said once elected his government would build a hydro-power station at Chikata falls near Kabompo and do away with thermo electricity in order to enhance economic activities in the area.

Last week, North-Western Provincial Minister, Kenneth Chipungu cautioned people in the province against listening to false promises made by opposition parties during the campaigns but concentrate on supporting government of the day which has opened mines and discovered oil and gas in the province.

Addressing a stakeholders meeting in the council chamber, Mr Chipungu told the people that the New deal administration was in a hurry to complete the tarring of the Kasempa turn off-Chavuma road which is expected to reach Kabompo by 2010 and also build a hydro power station at Chikata falls in Kabompo in order to facilitate the setting up of oil and gas industries in Kabompo, Zambezi and Chavuma districts that would improve the welfare of the people in the province.

    you won,t become president so why bother No nO No to TONGA PARTY VIVA MMD RB
    VIVA PF SATA

  8. HH also is now very desperate. Whatever he dreams in his sleep at night to him it becomes a manifesto speach the following day. It sounds nice but first create more jobs for that to work. Mwamukolo

  11. Promises are promises which are just promises. Ba Triple H, I would love to know where the money would come from to pay these workers. All these promises are just a sure way of digging Zambia into more debt.

  13. Pa nkoloko guys, just look at Sataand critically evaluate yourselves, you will doom the country. Why didnt KK put him near the reigns? Why did FJT dump him in the bin? Its not a coincidence, VIVA RB!

  15. Why is it that the wife and children of HH are always shouting Pabwato when their Daddy comes back from campaign rallies! kanshi naine wine in pa Bwato fye

  16. Guyz i told you this guvenile is deadly! He wants to run the little strength of our economy down! 3.5million zim kwacha per civil servant and we will all crash and burn, we dont need the devalued money! We need ways of creating wealth, not a country of slave workers damn! Pa man of action!

  17. #6 stop being a tribalist and try to be decent in your comments. To my bro HH pliz dnt be desperate 4 votes nd start promisin them wage increment wen u are supposed to create good jobs 4 the pipo. In short am sayin that dnt encourage laziness

  20. HH can do it mind you he is the only one who has accepted to sign the social contract with the electorates to fufil his campaign promises. Bonse banakana which shows that balepepa. Ask ba Civil Society they will tell you. Why fear to commit yourself, ninshi ndiwe wa boza.

  23. Now i know that this man is a liar. Where will he get money to pay all loofers k500,000.00 per month? And to pay k3,500,000.00 to the lowest paid civil servant[a station handman].
    All the respect i had for him gone and no vote from me.

  24. It does not make any sense to me at all for a person who is aspiring for the highest office and worse more, who claims to be the most intelligent zambian to sink so low promise higher wages instead of more jobs. He really is an under 5. PABWATO CHABE....! It does not make any sense to me at all for a person who is aspiring for the highest office and worse more, who claims to be the most intelligent zambian to sink so low promise higher wages instead of more jobs. He really is an under 5. PABWATO CHABE....!

    MAT7

  26. ba hh how can you pay civil servants that muci when workers at your security firm are complaining about pathetic condition of service and how you treated your fellow accountant at grant thorntone

  27. Ichilema, how are you going to pay K3.5 million to civil servants when your employees in your companies get less tham K1million?????
    Ubufi, try and tell the truth. Ifyakukopa, if a baby can tell you do not mean what you are saying.

    Be real like Sata
    Pa Bwatooooooo
    Mwa Mukolooooo

  28. HH you have also started lying. I liked what you had to say but this is a big lie.

    I am now rooting for Rupiah Banda.

    VIVA MMD.

  29. what is wrong with hh and and his salaries?He wants to promote inflation.There are alot of issues that can sorted out to improve the welfare of Zambians.Increasing and sacrificing salaries is not an answer own its own.Its clear the old men have politically bruised hh

  30. Hamachende is suggestin strange economics 44 yrs old! Free fertilizers , no manufacturing plants! Free education, no universities( what we have now are upper secondery schools!) free health services meanwhile theres nothing in the hospitals. Hamach i wonder how you made your money, were you selling arms to Angola? You plan to reduce everything taxes inclusive and increase salaries? If you win, I wouldnt want to live in your mabisi country!

  32. Wow, this is comedy at it worst (or is it best). Where is this man going to get the money from? The equivalent of five hundred quid every month…. the young boy is just dreaming. Many more lies are coming lets wait and see….

  33. HH I don’t know who advised you on this statement but you need to get yourself back in the game. Stop it with these ignorant statements and go back to the HH who used to say credible things. Magande has signed a deal with the World Bank for $78.8 million and will still have a pending debt. We cannot afford to increase on spending, we are still spending more than we have in revenues as it is. Our Balance of payments has not changed and you want to increase spending. What this boils down to is with the increase in Salaries and the free fertilizer, it will mean either higher taxes or more debt or more inflation and we cannot afford that.

  34. I think politics of empty promises is a new strategie that has been adopted by a lot of zambian politicians, first it was Rb with his oil discovery story now it is this young man whom we should expect to have new and constructive ideas joining the bad wagon.Where are you going to get the money from HH for free education,free fertilizer and 3.5 million for the civil service ,keep in mind that if you increase for teachers only then the whole civil service will cry out for the same.This was also proposed by the current government and the donors refused.So HH where are going to get the money to do this when the zambian economy is mainly donor funded ?

  35. [cont]

    What you should be talking about is reducing spending and increasing credit. What you are suggesting now is subsidize education, healthcare, fertilizer and seeds by 100% which is crazy because it means either the BOZ will run to the printing press, World Bank/IMF or higher taxes.

    HH, whoever advised you on this should be fired. Get back in the game. Stop being desperate.

    I have lost hope in you HH. I thought you where right for the country. Anyway…..VIVA RUPIAH BANDA…VIVA MMD.

  36. Tuyanda musankwa HH. If you have not read his manifeto and he capabilities then you are supporting PF and MMD blindly. Voting for MMD is voting backward and vting PF is destrction in that Sata lacks diplomatic ideas and principles. HH for Zambia. Young and brilliant just like Obama.

  37. It is 2009 and Zambia is on the verge of starvation. The country sends president HH to the United Nations to beg for food relief. Eventually he returns.

    HH: “I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the United Nations have refused to give us food. The good news is that I’m still your president.”

  43. I dont want to be suck to these tongas but their thinking gives me a hard-on! Once a cow, always a cow. What makes this boy think he is the wisest of the 12m zambians? He is insulting our intelligence…..no, our “manhood” pa bwato! Oh yess guyzz!

  47. you see how much people are hungry for power promising to give 3.5m to civil servants every month. let us be realistic where will he get the money to spend so much on the civil servants. make a wise decision when voting this is just to influence you to vote for him.

  48. Observation: Why is’t that most Pf supporters come with insults or contributions without sense?
    B4 u answer my question pliz take a look at those saying viva PF u will surely notice an interesting pattern.

  49. The sad thing about elections is that the voter doesn’t know if the candidates have some secret ambitions hidden deep in their attractive manifestos. There is always the risk that the man you choose turns out to have been bluffing. What then, fellow Zambians? What will you do then?

  50. #48 BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CANT WIN SO INSULTS MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER.JUST IGNORE THEM SO KAPONYA LIKE BEHAVIOUR. NOT SUPRISED HOW CAN A NORMAL BEING SUPPORT SATA SURE.SHAME

  51. Boy wake up stop dozing Zambia is a rich country. Money is there this a good redistribution of wealth. Instead of comnending why ask him where the money will come from. It seems Zambians are happy the way the wallop in poverty, sure how can a civil servant be getting 800 000 kwacha and pay K500 000 rent. Think twice but you bury this man with his good ideas intended for the Zambian citizens. You have a few days more to make a decision of your destination in life. Worse, doom or improvement of lifes.

  52. It is all about reinvestment and redistribution of wealth. Zambian forget easily, its not long ago when the campaign started the election was to cost k500 Billion kwacha and you conmended some people who opposite this, but when did the money come from to finance this election? Vote wisely, to be part of the wagon instead of just existng you can start living

  53. #6 Shame on you a person who can malign the dead without impunity. Do you think the families of those late heroes would take you lightly if they knew you? How did you even find yourself in UK scatter brained as you are?

  55. @#6 Insanity! Waba ukupipa abakote. Am not tonga but your thinking makes me wonder how big that growth in your head is. Or is it the amount of cobwebs.

    Dont talk about the dead.

  56. Ba HH charity begins at home please go and improve salaries for the workers in your company first before making fake promises for civil servants. in the mean time viva pabwato!!!!

  58. Okey, let us be real. K3.5m is about $100. If you run a small and efficient civil service this is acheivable. The man is an economist/Accountant, he knows what he is talking about.
    This not the same as promising to reduce the price of oil which we have no control of.

  59. #58, good point in the beginning, “small and efficient” civil service. What you’r basically saying is that government should offload more people onto the streets? If so has anybody said anything about where this “offload” will be accomodated.

    PLEASE HELP!

  60. Hey pundits
    Please if you do not understand economics, do not post your baseless arguments about paying 3.5K in zambia. How nuch money have been misappropriated by the MMD guys in the past years.
    The some useless arguments are being misconstrued about Obama’s 95% tax cuts in America.
    HH’s propositions are achivable to a wise person but an averege mind will not comprehend how.

  61. #6 YOUR COMMENTS ARE CHILDISH AND UNCALLED FOR YOU ARE SHOWING YOUR INSANITY AND MAYBE YOU SMOKE LIKE YOUR LEADER WHO HAS JUST STOPPED BEACAUSE OF HEART ATTACK. STOP RUBBISH COMMENTS ON HH ISSUES.

    AS FOR ME I KNOW WHERE THE MONEY HH IS PROMISING UNDER PAID CIVIL SERVANTS WILL COME FROM.FOR EXAMPLE THE CABINET WILL BE REDUCED TO 15 CABINET MINISTERS, TAX WILL BE REDUCED TO THE LEVEL WHERE AVERY ONE IN BUSINESS WILL PAY TO THE TREASURY AS OPPOSITED TO NOW WHERE PEOPLE ARE HIDING THERE TAX FIGURES. I CAN GO ON AND ON ON VAROIUS ISSUES WHICH HH WILL BRING AS CHANGE TO HOW GOVERNMENT WILL BE RUN.PLEASE HAVE A TIME AND CHECK HIS WEBSITE http://WWW.HAKAHINDE.COM FOR YOU DOUBTING THOMASES.

  62. Another way to raise the money is by reducing government expenditure, efficient tax collection and reducing corruption in government. All these are acheivable if you have a motivated civil service. That is what HH is talking about. Please analyse issue before you critisize…in other words engage your brain before your mouth, in this case your finger.

  63. #56 DO NOT COMPARE HH’ COMPANIES TO THE NATION’S RESOURCES THE COMPANY CAN NOT PAY MORE THAN IT CAN AFFORD OTHER WISE THAT COMPANY MAY GO IN LIQUIDATION. HAVE YOU HEARD THAT HH’S RUN COMPANIES HAVE GONE IN RECEIVERSHIP? WHY BEACAUSE HE KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE THOSE COMPANIES.HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT USING RESOURCES FOR THE NATION TO BETTER LIVES OF THE NATION INCLUDING WORKERS OF GOVT.

  64. Ba #60 Bose, kindly enlighten us in case you know where the offloaded workforce from the civil service will go. Join the informal sector? Has upnd got a policy in place to this effect?

    Mind you, Zambia is so far behind in as far as infrustructure is concerned and you say we can afford 3.5m for the least paid civil servant.

    Ba Bose, enlighten us since you “sound” quite knowledgeable!

  65. Thanks #59, the offloaded civil service will be employed by the private sector. One of the corner stones in HH’s campaign has been the empowering of Zambian businesmen.

  66. As always I can only look in shame and despair about how shallow and low of the intellectual contributions on these fora. Am I alone in thinking that the bulk of high powered intellectuals have deserted in the country and now its “Open Season” with cheap shots and no-vision and pride in self, country and the future.

    Cry the beloved country.

    Exiled for ever….

  68. increasing the wages is the best way of greating employment guys these is simple economics in a long run. at micro(household) level the increades salaries will boaster up small businesses hence creating employment to the locals

  69. #38, maestro hehehheehhheeehhee, look at your flag. Is there anything the PF cadres can do without plagiarising (uplifting verbatim or almost) someone else’s original stuff?
    Even Sata your PF unelected undereducate leader is doing the copying that #38 has done on here, only that him (Sata) copies from HH.
    Does this mean Bemba-Tribalists and not other Bemba normal people copy original stuff of Tonga bulls.
    Someone said, “Like father, like son.” True, this powerful old adage.
    Hhehhehhehhe.

  70. Fellow country men and women,let us not laugh at him.Dont u thnk he may be forced 2raise the salaries 2more than 2.5million as he struggles 2take it there?RB is 2dull 2rule dis nation,i thnk ba sata is de right one.

  71. #62 YOU HAVE SEEN THE VISSION THAT IS WHAT THE KAPONYAS WILL NOT UNDERSTAND ANY WAY THESE ARE ECONOMICAL ISSUES WHICH CAN ONLY BE UNDERSTOOD BY ECOMNICAL MINDS NOT BA KAPONYA.

  72. YOU SEE WHAT i MEAN EVERYONE IS PROMISING THIS AND THAT. rb PROMISED AND DID SOMETHING. MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET JINX EXIST IN SATA AFTER STOP SMOKING DAGA.HHYOU STOPPED MAKING SENSE.KAUNDA TRIED WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.THE ECONMONY HAD A FREE FALL. LET RB SHOW YOU HOW ITS DONE AND LEARN I WILL VOTE FOR YOU IN FUTURE NOT NOW.

  73. the incresed salaries with a reducation in tax base will able the goverment to collect so much tax through the short term small firms created. hence incresing goverment incomes which will be later redistributed through the civil severnts . for any of those who would like to know more on how the mechanisim will work . you may write to me at

    [email protected]

  74. Ba Exiled, stay where you are, better off their.

    Fellow Zed residents, let’s wait and see with these “tricky” promises. Why doesn’t HH apply this policy when it comes to his emplyees?

    The clock is ticking …

  75. I dont see anything wrong in HH suggesting to increase salaries of workers to improve lifes of Zambians. Money is there and it must be reallocated to the rightful people. Has anyone asked where the money is coming from that those NCC member get? This dont want to talk about chattering a plane for campaign. Think twice gentlemen about yourselves. Read the Auditor general report and you see that money is there but has not been used properly since 1964.

  76. #71 Village Concept

    Zambia’s balance of payments is in the negatives and Magande has plunged us into more debt.

    We cannot afford to increase spending even more further. And the issue of increasing salaries will boost economic growth. That makes sense but the problem is most of those goods are foreign made. Zambia exports about 21% to South Africa and imports 51% from South Africa. What we need to do is reduce spending and increase the line of credit for various business owners and would be business owners.

  77. BY THE WAY K3.5M IS NOTHING BEARING IN MIND THAT THIS IS GROSS, TAKE AWAY PENSION FUND,PAYE THE NET PAY MAY COME TO K2.5 NETT SO WHERE IS THE ISSUE CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT A FAMILY OF 6 NEEDS K1.6 TO MEET THE BASICS.WHAT REMAINS CAN NOT EVEEN SAVE TO BUY A VEHICLE.

  79. #72 what is your point? Every politician will make a promise other wise there wouldn’t be elections. The differnce is in what they promise

  80. Hey # 73 we know its all about consume and reinvestment. My is should always circulate. Even one ngwee must start having value like in the old days and in the west. The foundation was lied Zambia need just some helping hand in name of educated people who understand how free market function and manage it.

  81. It is not the salary increment that bothers me a lot. It is the subsidies that HH is trying to apply. He plans to subsidize Education, Healthcare, Fertilizer and Seeds by 100%. I am not against this but this will mean more spending.

    Has anyone looked at out balance of payments lately.

  83. 81# Zambia need free education and health, plus less cost on fertilizers and seeds. We have to deversify in other agro area. We can do it. We are braced with water.

  84. @59 the govt has ghost workers. Nephews, nieces, uncles, aunties and mulamu’s to these hopeless ministers are on govt payroll. Its just a matter of identifying who is who.

    By the way most of those in the civil service are not employed on merit so you ask all of them to reapply and then fish out the failures abakwata utusembe. (Ama 7 pali G 12certificate).

    Waishiba nomba ka???!!!

  85. Ok so on the fertilizer and seeds thing, I take it back. This has been proven to work in Malawi where fertilizer is subsidized by 100%. This has resulted in a huge increase in grain and grain export. Malawi produces so much Grain that it even exports to Zimbabwe. On the issue of free education, I am all for it. On the issue of salary increments, what needs to be done is the reduction of cabinet ministers or something of that sort. Anyway, to achieve this, they would have to be shifts in where the money is currently going.

    Maybe I haven’t thought about this very well.

  86. The desperation is really starting to show honestly these are the most…unprocessed thoughts he’s delivered yet.Honestly What kind of structure does he have in mind??Kaunda tried free University and besides even now many pipo who can afford the education are on government bursaries which NEVER GET PAID BACK. More universities are needed, UNZA CAN BARELY MAINTAIN ITSELF AND IS IN DEBT this is amateur economics…its too funny i Shan’t say more…
    2010 elections…rather vote for the frog!

  87. When a lozi man talks about Borotse people say lozi`s are tribleist but when sata talked about the creating of the barote govement in short having a contry withing a country nobody said sata was trible zambians lets be fair to each other and VOTE FOR HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  88. 76# FREE MARKET YES I AGREE WITH YOU ON YOUR POINT.THE EXPIDITURE WILL ALSO REDUCE WHILE REVENUE WILL ASLO INCREASE BECAUSE OF GOOD PUBLIC MANAGENENT SKILLS UPND WILL BRING.

  90. OMG, this is another lier. Where is all that dough going to come from? Will all your ministers not get any pay like you? Now that will cause outright corruption. Look, you’re a bright guy but it seems you have failed to reach out and using this bullcrap to get votes is just downright low. I though you were different from the Satas and the Bandas. I guess my vote goes to Banda. His crowd at least is the evil I know.

  91. #81, for you to understand where the money for subsidizing Education, Healthcare, Fertilizer and seeds will come from you need to understand what percentage of the national bugdet they constitute. The key is prioritising expenditure.

  92. #63 Do you seriously think these promises will happen?? in your dreams… If you say HH’s run companies are makin huge profits am sure they can afford to increase their employees’ salaries jst alittle bit.
    First he will give away his salary.. and then increase salaries… the man doesnt knw wat he is talkin about believe me.
    let him talk about job creation thts beta

  94. 86# UNFORNUTELY WE HAVE NO FROGS TO VOTE FOR WE HAVE NYAMA SOYA, PABWATO, FALIZOHO YOU CAN AFFORD FALIZOHO WHICH YOU WILL USE WHEN VOTING. THE BOAT& CLOCK WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN POLLING STATION ONLY HANDS SO YOU CAN SEE SENSE IN SOME OF THESE THINGS WE LIKE TALKING ABOUT.

  95. Its very interesting . Instead of finding how posible it is, some pipo just rush into insulting . Even some pipo who live in developed world a 2 dull 2 c how posible it is 2 pay a civil savant 3.5m in zambia. Do u know how much time and money some c s steal every month in zambia? Believe u me guys its posible . Only failures and pipo who dont undastand economy can ague. U go 2 U K u fail but within 2 yrs HH was able 2 make 10billion in zambia.

  96. #35, Free-Market-Capitlst, I thought you were a serious HH supporter when you were recommending that I should stop supporting HH. But what is happening to you now. Are you the same person who wrote to me or not?

    I have always written on here that this election is not for TIMID souls, but the strong and wellprepared.

    To all those of your skeptics above HH’s campaign message, how much does a graduate engineer get paid at ZESCO and/or Zamtel?

  98. #95 don’t tell me you think this can work. This is all B.S and I think as intelligent as all of you seem to be, this is the type of $h1T you should not all to be used in campaigns

  99. #96 ZESCO ARE PAYING VERY WELL A CASHIER CAN AFFORD TO BUY A SURF THOSE ARE HIGHLY PAID.EVEN ZAMTEL ENGINERS ARE BETTER LOOKED AFTER.THAT IS THE REASON MMD WANTED TO INCREASE SALARIES BEACAUSE PARASTALS ARE PAYING WELL.

  100. #99, this is exactly why I asked the question(s) on #96.

    So why must we have a graduate ENGINEER at ZESCO or ZAMTEL getting ZK 5 Million while a graduate Teacher or Nurse or Policeman should be getting ZK 1 Million?

    Is there any sense there, Free-Market-Capitlst and other HH campagin message skeptics?

  101. 98# BUSHE KUFULWA BALANDA FYE BWINO WHAT IS A PROBLEM. ARE YOU THE ONLY JEW WHO HAS NOT GOT THE VISION OF HH. MAY BE YOU ARE A “MUZWAHULE’

  102. Hi People. I missed the fray was offline in the decutschaland. Am also dissapointed that he keeps talking about that repeatedly. I expect HH to simply focus on how he he is going to turn around our misery from a 3rdworld country to a middle economy. Well, if that’s his style I gues we all have to consider Sata for now. And everybody said…….Amen.

  103. Zambia is a potentially a rich country. With the right people in place, what he i suggesting we are very much well able to achieve. But why did he refuse to work with PF? They would have made a good team. Meeting the young man hh feel you with pride. A kind of leader we would be proud of as Zambians, and we wouldnt worry about him dozing off at international forums. He would mingle well with the Obamas and Kikwetes, inspiring real investors. but he refused like miyanda and threw it all away. And will just end as a great would have been . Ki mwamukolo!! pa maka

  105. You people who are condemning HH for the increased salaries, Did you even know that there is money in GVT? it is not just managed properly.HH knows why he is saying this.one example is the many ministers on which alot of millions are spent.too much corruption money is just going into people’s pockets.14.7trillion was misapplied according to auditor general’s report.HH wants to distribute the wealthy equally just imagine the high salaries ministers wants to have.

  106. RB and his minions proposed to be getting salaries and allowances upwards of K35 million per month. Policemen are lucky to get K12 million per year. HH alibwino.

  107. #103, PF is a bunch of crooks and undereducated fellows. If HH and the mighty UPND joined PF and then formed GRZ with HH as Sata’s, what will when Sata’s dictatorial tendencies makes HH and the UPND to fail to live upto their MANIFESTO and Zambian people’s expectations? How would HH convince the Zambian people that HH has some better to offer then with a record that him (HH) together with Sata failed to bring promises to the people? What will Zambian say when this marriage of convinience to win elections against MMD fails to tick or work? Are people going to think HH will have something diffferent to offer with a record of failure with PF? Infact Sata would say HH failed to improve things

  108. 103# FIRST OF ALL THOU SHALL NOT USE THE NAME OF OUR KING IN VAIN, YOU WILL NEVER BE A LOZI KING.HH CAMPAIGNS ARE CONSISTANCE WHERE EVER HE GOES PEOPLE MUST RECIEVE HIS GOSPEL. IF HE CHANGES LIKE THE OTHERS WHEN THE VISIT LITUNGU THEY START TALKING ABOUT BAROTSE AGREEMENT WHICH IS NOT AN ISSUE EVEN THE LOZIS KNOW THAT SOME ONE IS JUST A LIAR.HIS GOSPEL MUST BE PREACHED TO ALL CORNERS OF ZAMBIA THEN THE END WILL COME.

  109. #107 continued.

    Infact, Sata – as Zambain President – in his usual sarcastic language would most likely be able say that HH failed to improve things with us and so, what else do you (Zambians) think he (HH) will offer you in his (HH) own capacity and the UPND?

    This situation is what I personally fear for Tsvingarai’s political future. Mugabe will proudly now accuse Tsvingarai of failing to deliver on his (Tsv.) earlier campaign messages when they will fail together as GNU. I feel for Tsvangarai’s future as I commend HH for being wise. Look at Saki, do you think Saki will ever convince a Zedian to vote for him?

  112. #107 MENSTRAUL Hhehehehe
    What is it that you’ve against PF? how much has HH paid you to continue campaigning to yourself? what else do you do apart from blogging?

  113. #103, do you remember that late Mazoka invited all those who left the Chiluba MMD in 2001 including Sata to join the UPND? Did Sata join the UPND? How was Sata’s Presidential election performance in 2001? How was Sata’s Presidential election performance in 2006? If Sata, as undereducated as he is could manage to move from 1% or so votes in 2001 to 29% in 2006, what makes you think HH will not improve his (HH) votes from 26% in 2006 to something much higher in 2008? What more about 2011 HH votes improvement?
    Please, answer the above questions with an objective mind and not emotions?

  115. #To you all contributors in this thread, why must we have a UNZA graduate ENGINEER at ZESCO or ZAMTEL getting ZK 5 Million while a UNZA graduate Teacher or Nurse (PBN – UTH – UNZA Ridgeway Campus or Policeman (any UNZA degree) should be getting ZK 1 Million?

    Is there any sense in such a case which is now obtaining as we are blogging?

  117. #112, greetings to you. You called:
    “#107 MENSTRAUL Hhehehehe
    What is it that you’ve against PF? how much has HH paid you to continue campaigning to yourself? what else do you do apart from blogging?”
    My response:
    Q.What is it that you’ve against PF?
    A.Bemba-Tribalists and Dictatorial tendencies
    Q.how much has HH paid you to continue campaigning to yourself?
    A. Nothing, I have never communicated with HH, but I am campaigning for HH because of the my own sake, my family and all Zambians’ future and well being.

  119. #108. my freind Villege Concept. I cant appologise for failing to come out right using a zambian language coz its mine too. And the Litunga, like Kazembe, Ndungu,Penzeni are all ours. Its our Zambia.
    To be a political leader you need to weigh matters and chart a better course, or balance up things as a means to a desired end. Its not just principle when so much is at stake and your contribution is vital. Look at Miyanda from where you get your village consept. He refused the presidency when it was his time coz of his lousy principles. And now HH is making the same mistake. Let him take a leaf from miyanda, the greatest president zambia never had. He could be in Banda’s possition now.

  121. #112, g r e e t i n g s to you. You called:

  122. #113. You are absolutely right. I just hope he will have the courage and stamina to stay the course. pray no new Obama shall rise up to eclipse him. I met him today in kasempa and I had a 1 on 1 talk with him. He is impressive and I could only wish him well. God bless our mother Zambia.

  126. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe!!! I found u. Hope u r the authentic 1. Been luking around 4 u th whole day in these areas. I thot u had changed ur mind en joined the performing en winning team. Come on man u were lost. Ur HH’s desperate bleating disqualifies him moree. Redeem him by asking him 2 hold on for 2016. Hope u r doing fine. LET’S ENGAGE. IT’S RB EN ZAMBIA

  128. #122. Now you are talking. However, I do not understand why you seem to fear competition. You do not have to wait for a silver plate opprtunity to get something or indeed the Zambian Presidency. The thing is that we as Zambains have chosen to take the route of DEMOCRACY, and in a democracy you compete by offering your manifesto.
    It is like you are fighting to a girl or lady who is very single with 2 or more competitors to have her hand in marriage with you. Do you join your friend who has a BMW which you do not have at the moment to allow him get her for now and hope that when their relationship ends, then you can get that girl because you are now close to her by your BMW friend.

  129. Ba HH, we thot you were realistic but now you have started old compaign strategies of promisery notes, Dream on Madala, you are now loosing it, if you think your millions can do it, remember that you r just a billionare in kwacha, convert a realise you only worth £2m…lol

    Pa Bwato, lasa

  131. The minimum monthly expenditure will be 3500000 x number of civil servants, lets say 3500000 x2000000=K7,000,000,000,000 this is the range we should be thinking of.HEDGE HEDGE “HH” Leka ubufi atase

  132. #125. Remember FDD origin? He left coz of principles to for HP. Miyanda had made quit a name for himself, he left the vehicle to take him to Plot one, and fumbled with his HP. Believe me he could have eaily won that election but he worked alone. Lousy Criston went on to perfom much much better. Second chance Levy wanted to work with him as Vice Presi. he refused even though he didnt even have an MP in paliament. Levy wanted Miyanda to succeed him. On principle he refuesed. And He remain the Greatest President we never had. Leaders need to learn to balance things.

  133. #101 I guess you’ve been drinking the coolaid too. Let all you dull chaps burn and rote in HH’s faeces. Ba f1ka1a you can’t tell me you honestly believe this crap. I think he is the best candidate but he last maturity. Kanye ch1ka1a

  134. #101 I guess you’ve been drinking the coolaid too. Let all you dull chaps burn and rote in HH’s faeces. Ba f1ka1a you can’t tell me you honestly believe this crap. I think he is the best candidate but he lacks maturity. Kanye ch1ka1a

  136. If this is the economics HH did at UNZA then he must be a fake> DESPERATION IMWEEEEEE. RB ndiye ba muna. The count down is too slow

  137. #126, Zizi, thanks very much for the offer by no thanks. ecHi-ecHi is the only man standing. In fact RBB stands to come out as #3 in this race even with this hard-fought fight he has done. So, for RBB to atleast keep his current VEEP job upto 2011, let him and the MMD quickly endorse HH for Zambian President before time runs out on them.
    There is a lot of time before October 30, 2008 Presidential election. Imagine, the time remaining is aproximately 7 days 0 hours 40 minutes. Time is ticking and I expect RBB to do the nation what is honourable. HH and Sata with Miyanda all contested the 2006 elections and one of them deserves to be Zambian President while RBB is an outsider for now.

  138. 132# I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN, BUT THE MAN IS A LONER WHO ONLY APPERS WHEN IT IS TIME FOR ELECTIONS HE DOES NOT MOBILISE HIS PARTY. THE BEST HE CAN DO IS TO JOIN UPND AND FORGET ABOUT HIS VILLAGE CONCEPT WHICH I LIKE USING BEACASE LIKE HH I WAS BORN IN VILLAGE I CAME TO KITWE TO START WORKING.

  139. To you all contributors in this thread, why must we have a UNZA graduate ENGINEER at ZESCO or ZAMTEL getting ZK 5 Million while a UNZA graduate Teacher or Nurse (PBN – UTH – UNZA Ridgeway Campus or Policeman (any UNZA degree) should be getting ZK 1 Million?

    Is there any sense in such a case which is now obtaining as we are blogging?

  140. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe.
    Pity tht an intelligent guy like you is in the wrong camp. Man wake up en see all the activity around you – chilanga cement can’t even keep up with cement demand, there is literally a construction boom in the country. Have you taken time to look at the country side? I have en it’s amazing. Bandas have settled in Mwinilunga so have Mweenes in Mbala, Sitalis in Mporokoso, Kaumbas in Kalomo, Mbewes in Kaoma, all empowered en settled to call these places their home – THATS ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION. MMD carries on the drive with RB in the hot seat. He’s the man Maestro

  141. #136 ZIZI IN LOZI IS fy ULUNSHI IN BEMBA.WHAT DESPARATION? THE MAN HAS MONEY! HE WANTS TO SERVE WITH THE NATION WITH HONOR.

  142. I just fear for Zambia a great nation that God gave us. In His own wisdom God allowed KK to be the first reuplican president who promoted one Zambia one Nation. It was indeed good in those old days when people could be judged on their mental and intellectual capabilities and not the tribalism that was started by Chiluba and Sata which is dividing our great nation. Anyway God bless Zambia. One thing for sure is that shonas in Zimbabwe are suffering despite Mugabe being shona and this must remind tribal bembas that Sata’s failures will affect everyone including themselves. A reasonable person would not vote for Sata who changes stance every now and then to suit his desires for power.

  143. Mufana uyu HHHHHHHHHH avenka kwati ali nanzelu….Money is there in ZEED.Give it to the people,not forgetting UNZA,CBU STUDENTS AMA 500 PIN 500PIN.Ni bwela manje manje ku Zambia. Matero MP 2011 contituency

  145. Anwebo Musa HH. You were our only hope of the young generation. Now you have started promisory manifestos! Remain focused on what can dignify every muntu and develop motherland in general. Hatwende musa.

  146. 139.Maestro Hhehhehhehhe when it comes to comparing salaries you are wrong.You are sound like Mulongoti or Tenta .You have let me down with your argument.

  147. Anwebo Musa HH. You were our only hope of the young generation. Now you have started promisory manifestos! Remain focused on what can dignify every muntu and develop motherland in general. Hatwende musa , utilise the remaining days.

  148. #140, thank you for everything, my fellow Zambian Citizen. Unfortunately or fortunately I hold high principles and my character is that of not compromising what has been taught to me by my family and the good Lord God.
    “Unless their be a compromise, there will never be backsliding” – UNKNOWN is my principle.
    Whether, HH loses or not I will continue looking up to the good Lord God for life each and everyday.
    Whether RBB or his campaign team offers me a job, I will not join them because of their reputation in the past 1 month. My hope is to see Zambians at home having the same money and infrastrusture I have been privileged to see in my life. HH offers Zambians this that I hope for.

  152. #141 VILLAGE CONCEPT
    You sound more PF than Heritage. I was at that secretariate in Roma with Miyanda, Shikapwasha, Nyirongo Gladys, Mama Sumaili, etc back in 2001 – 2002. Ulunshi in bemba as you say is NOT ZIZI BUT NZINZI…Kona mo baibizeza. Sorry that ur also ignorant about the difference between money and ABSOLUTE POWER!! Example is Fred Mmeembe. If u cant read the desperation in PF then you must be in the wrong land. RB STANDS OUT!!

  155. There are so many teachers or nurses who get the same amount of money as the graduate Engineers .You have taken time to consult CSO.

  156. I52# IT DEPENDS WHERE U COME FROM WHETHER FROM SENANGA OR MUNGU KAUFELA KI ZIZI.KIMINA BONI LIBIZO,NA KINA LIYUNGU WALUBITA.

  158. #154, this is not time to be swayed by PROPAGANDA. What you must understand is that Zambians are clever people. I was in Zambia one month agao and people are speaking one language – change. The question is what change are people looking for?
    Answers:
    1. Change may mean HH, Miyanda or Sata becomes Zambian President.
    2. Change may mean REAL CHANGE THAT ALL ZAMBAINS (regardless of race, tribe, creed, social and marital status, maimed or fully able bodied, religion, etc) where people will have economic independence and a calm political atmosphere will enhance our economy only offered by president Hakainde Hichilema. Period.

  161. @#160. VILLAGE CONCEPT

    It can be done with transfers in govt spending (get money from one sector in the govt budget and put it into another sector) but what I don’t get is where in govt are the transfers going to happen. Someone needs to explain to me in detail on this whole thing.

  162. [cont]

    How is it possible to reduce taxes, increase govt spending and control inflation all at the same time. Someone needs to explain this to me.

  163. #155, choma1, my very own sister is a graduate Nurse and is working in Zambia. I viewed her payslip one month and some days ago. My very own first cousin whom I call brother in TONGA culture is an Engineer at ZESCO in Lusaka. My brother in law, married to my very own elder sister, is at Zamtel. I too have a direct experience with Zamtel.

    So, I wonder what statistics you are referring to?
    Can you please give us their (alternative) salaries to disprove what I indicated?

  164. #155, choma1, I hope the graduate Engineers’ pay you know are not servicing LOANS. I am waiting for your reply.

  165. One wonders why the UNZA dons don’t come out in force to scrutinize the rhetoric from these useless politicians! Is our country so backwards for politicians to ask for votes in exchange of sugar and salaries? or is it because Zambians prefer leaders who turn a blind eye whilst others are looting coffers ? We will end up being prisoners in our own country if we allow such rubbish! What he forgets to say is where the money will come from to pay for such hefty increases and how he plans to control inflation there after?

  166. That sounds nice but is it achievable. Then I am coming home. I love mother Zed but the meagre salaries drove me out as a civil servant.

    Umulozi bwa buhata wena. Silozi ki silozi. Zizi ki nzinzi?????? Wel en gud kina zeo ze ubulela. As i fly i come to do you great service, decompose all those HHs en Satananiacs. Kine Mubita Liyungu.

  170. IF I WERE RB I WUD FIRE ALL THOSE UNZA LECTURERS, BRING IN EXPATRIATES TO CLEAN UP THE SYSTEM AND RESTORE ORDER. THEY ARE TOO HH THOSE SO CALLED LECTURERS. DISGUSTED

  171. HH i earn K3.5 as a minimum salary dont forget there are different categories of civil servants i.e.div 1 to 14 specify kaile who will get the minimum.you desperate politicians if u have nothing to say just go and look after yo cows they need u more than zambians.

  173. #104 How come u seem to be the only one supporting hh on salary of 3.5 dont tell me mwanawasa was that dull not to do the same the fact that he rooted from parastal comp deost mean he knows where the money is he will just fuel inflation as for zesco and zamtel those are profit making org GRZ is a service org you cant compare the 2 thry dont make any money they jst deal with services dont tell me all the 3 presdos were very dull except yo HH EVEN in the uk govt instutitions dont get as much as private the only difference is there is minimum wage for everyone dont try to be to genious

  176. Those of you who doubt the evolution theory that man came from monkeys, I have proof for you. Look at posting #6, he is a definate proof that while his boby has evolved to look like that of a man, his brain is still that of a Chimpanze. Am told in UK, he has been put to join fellow baboons jumping around in the queen’s park!

  177. Pliz stop telling lies to our people.I still cant understand why we are suffering so much as a people…While HH may prove to be a visionary, I still treat his sentiments with a pinch of salt.Anyway, lets give him chance to see what the young man can do.

  180. #171, here is the news item again for you:
    “United Party for National Development (UPND) President, Hakainde Hichilema has reiterated his election campaign promise to hike civil servants salaries to a minimum of K 3. 5 million per month once elected President on October 30, this year.”

    Note that Minimum means minimum. There is know confusion in the news. If you have more querries on this, ask LT to give you HH’s campaign message VERBATIM in a quote!

  182. #175, choma1, thanks, but PLEASE attempt to hep me with posting #163 connected to 164:
    #155, choma1, my very own sister is a graduate Nurse and is working in Zambia. I viewed her payslip one month and some days ago. My very own first cousin whom I call brother in TONGA culture is an Engineer at ZESCO in Lusaka. My brother in law, married to my very own elder sister, is at Zamtel.

    So, I wonder what statistics you are referring to?

  183. 171# K3.5 IS MINIMUM GET HIM RIGHT THOSE BELOW YOU WILL APRECIATE IT.I HOPE YOU SEE SENSE, BO,ZIZI MWAPUMA AKIMINA BO MUBITA LIYUNGU.

  184. How did this HH get rich? After Corruptly selling Zmbian companies and today you want to be president? Bane muletontonkanya Pa Bwato is more practical and hard working.

  185. of course they will appreciate it but common we have heard this kind of rhetoric from Sata before,since 2006 i have been waiting for HH to prove his capability in politics so far i ve been disappointed i wonder why people say he is the best we have at the moment.

  186. I have never seen this attitude of persimism among people, Zambian people for that matter.
    #171. thanks and welcome for telling us what you get in South Africa.
    What I know about South Africa is that a graduate with a Bachelors Honours Degree will get roughly ZR 2, 000.00 which is equivalent to about 20,000*500 = ZK 10 000,000 per month. So #171 is getting a seriously low salary in South Africa.
    #171, please, kindly tell us you level of education?

  187. #183 of course they will appreciate it but common we have heard this kind of rhetoric from Sata before,since 2006 i have been waiting for HH to prove his capability in politics so far i ve been disappointed i wonder why people say he is the best we have at the moment.ki busihu ndate.

  189. By 2011 HH will the worst liar,lying at under 5.You could start with paying your workers good salaries first…Kabwalala ewe!!!!!

  191. #189 Kelenka

    Can you please tell me how much HH’s workers get and please provide a credible source.

    Can you also tell me how much Sata pays his maids.

    Please come with facts.

    [That is the problem with PF supporters. Spitting out venom without any facts to back them up. INSANITY.]

  192. You people who are complaining and showing utter shallow thinking, can someone tell me how much money an average worker in the EU (European Union) powerful economies, like GERMANY, gets per month?
    To easy up the a s s i g n m e n t I have tasked you with, I will tell you that it is roughly 2,000 euros. How much is 2000 euros in Zed Kwacha?
    2000* 6000 = ZK 12 000,000.
    Now, how much is ZK 3.5 million in USD?
    3500000/4200 = 833 USD.

  193. #192 continued.
    How much is 3.5 metres in SA Rands?
    3500000/500 = ZR 7000 [Zuid Afrika Rand(s)].
    Now, compare ZR20000 (Hons. graduate in SA in #186) to HH proposal of ZR 7000 for a Teacher, Nurse and Policeman in Zambia.What do you get? Is Zambia not in SADC with SA?Why differences?

    Vote for HH for a real ray of change that all Zambians can believe and trust in.

    Countdown: 6 days 1 hour 10 minutes remaining and we are counting.

  194. 184# KULU MWAMUKOLO, YOU ARE MISTAKEN HH DID NOT SELL OR PRIVITISE AS YOU PUT IT HE LIQUIDATED PAYING OFF CREDITORS FOR COMPANIES WHICH WENT UNDER CHILUBA GOVT EG RAMCOZ.A NOBLE JOB PAYING CREDITORS WHEN THE MWENYES LEFT THE COMPANY BECAUSE RAMCOZ WAS OWING ZANACO ALOT OF MONEY. CAN YOU DO SUCH A TUFF JOB? MIND YOUR LANGUAGE BWANA

  195. #186 get yo facts straight R 2000.00 for a degree holder thats a joke.good salaries here range from R 15 000 to 50 000.i was only joking about the K3.5m so chill man dont take things personal by questioning my level of education.i rest my case.

  196. #190, proud civil servant, I am equally coming to Zed as soon as next year.

    HH will solve the problems of Zed amicably and with consensus from all stakeholders of which the greates are you, the Zambian Citizens. If you want to reject slow consecutive balancing of SALARY figures in the SADC region, vote for HH the man of the moment.

  197. HH is talking about the minimum wage for a civil servant. Currently highly trained civil servants are under paid to the tune of K800,000/month. Coverting k3,500,000/month into US dollars is about $9,600/ annum. To me this as a minimum wage for civil servants makes a lot of sense in a Zambian setup. The country can manage to give this minimum wage considering the current extravagancy in spending GRZ money. HH has it well calculated and has the right vision for Zambia. He remains the only focussed candidate among the 4. The sad news to all those against HH is that this is factual and can be done within three months of the new government.

  199. #195, thanks for spotting the typo, but here is what I wrote on #186:
    “I have never seen this attitude of persimism among people, Zambian people for that matter.
    #171. thanks and welcome for telling us what you get in South Africa.
    What I know about South Africa is that a graduate with a Bachelors Honours Degree will get roughly ZR 2, 000.00 which is equivalent to about 20,000*500 = ZK 10 000,000 per month. So #171 is getting a seriously low salary in South Africa.
    #171, please, kindly tell us you level of education?”
    Now, tell me if R2000.00 is equal to ZK 10 000,000.00. No emotions #195,proud civil servant, just check carefully and comment!

  200. I hope we are going home to vote for our prefered candidates and not just politiking on the blog,the the Kaponyas are already on the ground ready to hire a President.

  202. #194, PF supporters are hostile to education. At first I used to think that they deliberately chose to overlook the facts on the ground, but I have come to understand that it is:
    “Like father, like son.” – UNKNOWN.

    So, #184, Fulwe Mu Bwato, is just like his undereducated unelected leader Micheal Chilufya Sata.

  203. #200, i have written this before, but for you sake I will write it again.

    I as Maestro Hhehhehhehhe will not go to Zambia to vote in the October 30, 2008 Presidential election. This is because my fellow VILLAGE and educated together with all well meaning Zambians who care about the future of the National and their Children will vote on my behalf for HH.
    By me not voting HH loses only 1 vote only while RBB, Miyanda and Sata each gain 1/4 of the lost vote. This is very very insignificant and will not alter anything. What matters is that I, will others, am doing phone2phone Campaign for HH from afar while my, our, colleagues are doing door2door campaign 4 HH in Zambia.

  204. FINALLY BRETHREN FAREWELL,I LEAVE YOU WITH PHILL 4V8 WHAT SO EVER THINGS ARE TRUE,HONEST,JUST,PURE,LOVELY,OF GOOD REPORT,IF THERE BE ANY VIRTUE, PRAISE,THINK OF THESE THINGS. GOOD MORNING.

  206. #s178, choma1, and 195, proud civil servant, I p a s s e d you some question(s) above. Please, comment or answer them for me.
    I am desperately hoping you will help as soon as possible.
    May you have a great day.
    Countdowns:
    -Presidential elections: 6 days 22 hours 50 minutes remaining and we are counting.

    #126 and 140, Zizi, following my posting on #148. I thought it will only be fair and moral for me to give you the quote from MUVITV by the (former) First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa which she has been cited as saying. This is how principled people like me behave.

  210. #209 continued. I do not and will never seek to gain anything as an individual while putting all Zambians of all kinds of nature and backgrounds at a loss especailly by joining questionable groups. No, not me!

  221. We cannot use American political tactics in Zed.Before talking about sallary increaments,let’s talk about creating jobs and reducing poverty,decent housing…good tactic HH but won’t work in ZED.

  222. #217. Kashimani, thanks very much. #218, Wacha, that is a lot of sense. I just fell for the people who are depending on Kaponyas for the Kaponyas have migrated to Southern Province especially Livingstone and Mazabuka where it is happening. #219, if you are serious about visiting me then you will email. If not then relax and enjoy the outcome of events. Have fun. Also, I have already indicated that I come from the same place as VJ in Mapanza, Choma. On VJ and myself, I will not write much. #221, HH is talking about everything. The media just choses what to write about HH’s message. As for HH clearly explaining how HH will accomplish these things, there is no need because HP,MMD,PF plagiarise.

  223. #219, I will be waiting for you email, otherwise, let us meet on the political platform in 2016 as I camapgin for Zambian President as an Independent Candidate if I will be alive and if the good Lord allows.

    Take careful care always.

  226. # 36 your comparison of HH to OBAMA is not matching. HH is below par to Obama and he is still an under dog in politics thats why today he is making fake and unrealistics prominses.He should first tell the people of ZAmbia where he is going to get the money to do all those things he is talking about.

  227. Yes, desparation kills. He has failed to address the key issues – money alone cannot equal to development. Promises and promises don’t work. That is why people don’t trust politicians. I would rather promise little and deliver more than I have promised. If i tabulate all the promises each of the thre prsidential candidates has made, it is clear to me that Zambia will go bankrupt. A bankrupt Zamba will nmean no president. Are they being sincere? the answer is NO NO NO NO. None of them will deliver anything but a bird in hand is worth a million in the Bush. Vote RB because none of them is anywhere near Mwanawasa – Sad but true!!

  228. #197, civil servants at what level? Zambia is a country where people do not understand the difference between lateral progression and vertical progression. A balnket figure like that will mean that even a messenger at the ministry of foreign affairs who works for 1.5 hours a day after the boss’ hangover subsides and picks up one letter to the other wings is entitled to 3.5 million Kwacha a month. What are you talking about? His earlier promise of improving the work culture made more sense than promise salaries in a non-productive environment. He must learn to be consistent – Tumukomba tata muta chinyonyoni – you can do better – don’t be desparate!! Twalikushan Nklolola sweebo!!!

  229. #170, UNZA lecturers are highly educated, analytical and issue based in their approach to life due to being directely involved with the development of Zambia through education and research and they understand well issues of developing our nation. therefore they know who amomg the candidates understands issues of development in Zambia. We are not looking for comedians and selfish ambitions but who atleast talks like he can add meaning to the lives of the many Zambians today. that is why they support HH, as you see them doing so. Every well meaning Zambian will do so looking at the four candidates standing, HH is realistic and has what it takes to do what he preaches.

  230. HH is talking sense here. with this strategy, a lot of zambian abroad will be attracted to come back and work in zambia. zambia has spent a lot of money to educate zambians who have fled the country for greener pastures. zambia cannot afford to educate pipo for other country. increasing salaries looks expensive for low minded pipo but cheap for pipo who reason because most of the pipo trained using government resources will be retained.

  231. HH was able to create his own wealth, am sure he will create wealth for our country. visit the UPND web and get how HH is going to raise the money.

  234. Could BEMBA guys, I repeat BEEEMMMBBBAA guys pls stop commenting on forums and stories for HH. You bemba guys just need to stop already. We know you are going to vote for Sata, that is known fact- this is common all over Africa but pls leave HH alone you wont vote for him anyway so just stick wit yo Bemba PF prez and praise or degrade him all you want but leave HH to us and all other zambians interested — Mark my words Zambia will never have another Zambian president again we all know their calibre; Sata, Chiluba Katele etc.

  236. #234 I commend your statement to all the Michael Sata disciples. Kwena bane, try to re-examine your choice because you will truly be disappointed with the true colours of the man. Sata uyu mulesengela nomba akamupilibukila pantu fintu akamba ukucita fikamukamya amate mukanwa. Eeee telwenu mukebukisha. Mwibukishe ukutampa mu 2001 ifyo acitile mu MMD calengele ba minister banankwe ukupashika, emuntu mwingacetekela? Mukashininkisha, elyo mukalapila pantu nefyo mutontonkanya ukuti akamicitila tafyakamoneke, elyo akatampe nokumubepa nabumbi ubufi. Mwilaba insoselo yamu cibemba itila ”Ilyashi Lisuma lyalalike Cimbwi Pa Cishala”. Naimwe ubufi bwa kwa Sata bukamilalika pa fishala

  239. It has come to my attention that all the coments from PF are actually from dull people who dont understand real issues Mwanya Balemisepa Kuli RB OR HH Mwachilamo ubukopo. In this crucial period you cant bring isseus to promote Pf But Busy Degrading it Pliz Change your mind set and its too late for You HH Is winning

  240. No more thieves to manage the economy of the country. And of course no more moving graves in power. Some of us were compelled to leave our country because of the crooks that mismanaged the economy of our country. Please well wishing Zambians vote wisely on 30 Oct. Vote for no other than HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  243. #235, You are really childish. How can HH sell his cows to develop zambia? Zambia has her own resources to be exploited and managed. You cant expect HH to pay civil servants. what type of thinking is this? You should as well tell sata to sell all the monkeys to raise money to construct roads.

  244. Which one is more feasible if I may ask, breaking houses in chawama misisi, George etc and rebuilding them within 90 days? Some one promises salary of K3.5M? Any sane guy will say the latter is very feasible

  246. Well HH that sounds good, but tell me where the money going to cum from? you have already told us that you will reduce taxes. You have indicated that about K1,500,000 will be tax free. Come on now and tell the truth. Most of the things are already in place by government and working at a very slow rate, that is why we need SATA to push around pipo in government so we can move at a faster rate. Sorry HH you are not my man. You needed to be Finance minister in PF Government. VIVA SATA

  247. Politicians can say anything to win elections. Why didn’t HH do it for his workers at his audit firm -Grant Thornton? I still remember how my friends complained about the low pay when he was managing partner at GT. Let him be real!

  248. HH DREAMING,RB DOSSY,ONLY SATA IS AWAKE!

    Mwamukolo Fela,Pabwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

    Tired of your fake promises,we want action!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pabwato,Mwamukolooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

  249. Nipa Bwato mudala. Washala washala. Even in times of Noah it was in the boat. Those who remained perished. VIVA PA BWATO.

  251. ALL OF YOU COMPARING RANDS, EURO’S DOLLARS ETC, YOU ARE SHALLOW MINDED. YOU NEED TO COMPARE ECONOMIES NOT CURRENCIES. SECONDLY AN AVERAGE CIIL SERVANT IN RSA GETS ABOUT 5 000 RANDS WHICH IS ABOUT 3 MIILION KWACHA AND MIND YOU THE SOUTH AFRICAN ECONOMY IS MUCH TOO STRONG SO FOR HHHHHHHH TO SAY HE WILL PAY K3.5M THAT IS A BLOODY LIE

  254. # 238,239,240 & 241 mulifikopo bonse,you will come and cut my ears if HH will go to Plot 1 by November 2008.That house is not for Boys!!! Come on be real,the young man is dreaming,at least RB is dossing.There is chance that he could stay awake but with the Nyandule’s(Cocroaches) around,Kaya!!!

    VIVA SATA,VIVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

  255. I just remembered that tomorrow will be the ZAMBIAN INDEPENDENCE DAY. Long leave Zambia

    Iwe HH you have to tell the people how you will make that money before you tell us how much you will be paying people. Politician please Zambians are not that dumb anymore

  256. In all fairness HH did not give a time frame as to when he will hike the salaries.He just said he will do it once elected as President. This could be in three years after he has developed the economy and reduced excesses in govt expenditure.

    ‘United Party for National Development (UPND) President, Hakainde Hichilema has reiterated his election campaign promise to hike civil servants salaries to a minimum of K 3. 5 million per month once elected President on October 30, this year.’

  257. Why do u all say HH can’t pay K3.5m? The man can pay it. If Ministers are able to get K35M per month, plus K1.5bn (GRATUITY), K1m everyday for fuel, K2m per week for talk time, and many more; If all these monies from top govt officials is shared eqaully, I am sure K3.5m can’t be a problem.

  259. HH,RB Mwaela Ilyauma “You have caught a dry fish” !!! Lekeni tubombeko naba Sata.Mwamukolo Felaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

  261. DREAM ON HH,IF MINERS WHO PAY TAX GET LESS THAN K2,500,000,HOW DO EXPECT TO MANAGE THAT.DESPERATE BOY

    VIVA SATAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  266. PF has not paid for adverts—ZNBC

    By Times Reporter

    THE Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) has explained that the suspension of Patriotic Front (PF) advertisements from the national television was purely due to non-payment for the service.

  268. VILLAGE CONCEPT # 94, It’s only the hand that will be allowed in the Polling Station, not a boat or clock.

    VIVA HH HH HH

  269. HH wants to give minimum K3.5 million! The question is when is he going to do that? He has not put any time frame to that one. You must understand that politicians are canning people. HH if voted in office would tell civil servants that he is committed to his promiss, and that at the right time he would fulfil his promiss. HH’s promiss is easy for all then parties to do, because there will be a time when the economy will dictate that it is only reasonable to have minimum K3.5 million due to Kwacha depreciation. HH can even tell people, “I am still commited to this promiss, I will do it when you vote me for the second term, because this 3 years I was still cleaning up the mess left by MMD”.

  270. NO!! I reiterate that HH and McCain are the only two presidential candidates who have promised fixed salary and insurance tags respectively. Fortunately even the group he is targeting cannot believe these empty lies ‘cause the consequences on the entire workforce in Zambia can be catastrophic. If viable companies can struggle to pay its few employees such kind of salaries, where on earth will HH stumble on that money? The only solution of ensuring that people have enough take home (net pay) is to reduce taxes on PAYE and anyone who is reasonable would agree. Viva Sata, Viva low PAYE. Rhetoric won’t just do ba UPND. UBWATTTTOOOOOOOOOOO

  271. on # 265…I THINK IAM MAD REAL..FOR SURE SATANA CANT WIN…IAM FOR REAL CHANGE OF HH…VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VOTE HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TO PLOT ONE…

  272. Its a wait and see situation, I am not very sure we can sustain that minimum wage, but this guys seems to have done his calculations. We however can if we narrow the gap between the highest paid employee in Government and the lowest paid.

  273. ON # 269 IAM NOT CORRECT..well the trueth is w3e need a busnessman to create wealth for holy mother zambia..VIVA ZAMBIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VOTE FOR HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE ARE FOR HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

  274. I have noticed that all the comments related to PF supporters has a dull context it claerly indicates that PF is full of semi insane people Mwanya nga mule angala R B or HH Will win the elections There is still time for PF Just porch some interllectuals from UPND and have them as cadres I think your party will atleast make sense I am UPND but I wanted To give PF a Vote now I a have second thoughts I will vote for UPND Thats the only credible party. Alkl i say vote for HH for president and sata for opposition party president

  275. I wish people knew how canning politicians can be. I have seen a lot of empty promissing in the opposition during this elect. HH tells us that he will give free education from primary to university STARTING JANUARY 2009. HH is expected to be well versed with financial management and he not only understands issues of budgeting, but also the financial system of our nation; our financial year starts from 1st April to 31st March. If he is committed to his promissing staring JANUARY 2009, he must also explain how he will deal with the current budget which will run up to 31st march. HH must explain what exactly he will do than just leave hanging exciting statements to the people of Zambia.

  277. ON # 269 IAM NOT CORRECT..well the trueth is w3e need a busnessman to create wealth for holy mother zambia..VIVA ZAMBIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH VOTE FOR HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE ARE FOR HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……

  278. I think 3.5 for civil servants is possible, if all moneys spent on workshops and foreign trips were channeled to salaries.

    There are too many workshops in government ministries!

  279. Zambian people you should give HH a benefit of doubt coz he has never lied sata kale atampa obufi imwe tiyeni fye pakuboko ba chisanga ine nalishiba ati mwalikwata amano nomba pali situation iyi amono mutwele kwi vote for HH To avoid problems in the future

  280. its not possible how many civil servants do we have man multiply that with 3.5million.i like HH but this time he is lying ma ma ma ma ma ma ma

  281. His uncle, Mr SATA also is making all kinds wild promisses ranging from low tax, more jobs, more money, chasing chinese, no power cuts (he will use magic and just tell zesco, “dont switch off”), now he is even promising that he will not allow elections in 2011 because he has to rule for five year also, and he thinks he understands the desires of the lozi chiefs and wants to cheat them that he will honour the ‘barotse agreement’. What he does not know is that most, if not all, lozi chiefs are more eductated that him; they are able to tell when he is lying and when he is telling the truth.
    The only truth I see among SATA’s promisses is that He would not leave office in 2011 once elected.

  282. Guys,yesterday ZNBC had a live interview where Lawyers Jack Mwimbu (UPND), Bwalya Chiti (MMD)and Pikiti (PF. Ladies and Gentlemen, the question posed was,”what is the term of office for the in coming president after this presidential by-election?” UPND and MMD agree that it was three years, while Pikiti”s PF FAILED to answer the question.One can tell that Pikiti was at pains to explain because of his President’s shallow thinking.

  283. Those supporting PF most of them are barren or dont care about there children. Vote for someone who would preserve our children future. Sata just want to rip from the little remain and have a state built house for himself Vote for HH

  284. bo HH please zed needs the private sector to grow so talk about inproving access to capital by Zedian to creat wealth after which you can have a basis to give those salaries. Right now the civil service is blotted and needs trimming and improve its efficeiency in responding to service delivery challanges. You give free education, high salaries, free fertliser then who pays for all this?

  285. You chaps running comments do not understand the fact that Zambia is not too poor to pay its civil servants reasonable pay. Where was slash fund in Chiluba’s govt coming from? Cant that be rechanneled to pay civil servants? Why are most educated people working in Botswana, SA and UK? It is because of poor pay.
    What is wrong with him promising a good pay to people who have suffered for so long.
    Where are the proceeds of copper being used?
    The man talking is an economist.
    Alot of money in Zambia is not accounted for.
    The auditor generals office is corrupt and theft by ministry accountants is rife.

  287. I thought what the man was saying was a pipe dream and was unattainable until i heard the man on how he intends to manage it. The principle is simple i.e. having an efficient government services. He pointed out that between 2002 – 2006 due to government inefficiencies i.e. under bankings, misappropriation of funds and the works we’ve lost close to K14,000,000,000,000 (Fourteen Trillion Kwacha) and if we were to create an efficient economic environment these monies would be used to be re-distributed in the economy and yes our underpaid civil servants would also benefit.
    Its high time we stopped making ourselves cheap and let the people who work hard benefit from the fruits of their labor

  288. I have beenn listening to all the four parties standing in these presidential election and have found out that the most honest candidate is Miyanda followed very closely by RB. The most dishonesty candidate is SATA followed very closely by HH. Miyanda and RB appear to be very honesty while SATA appears to be very dishonesty followed by HH who appears to have some exceptions. This picture is very clear, but I know that some people cannot see this because of blind following. It’s like a person who is a womaniser, if you tell them that what they do is bad they will get annoyed and may even beat you up dispite knowing it themselves that what they do is definitely bad.

  289. Kokulila mukombwe kona kwa hae. Bana bahesu, SATA should NOT think that by telling our KING,chiefs and people in Western Province that he will restore the BAROTSELAND AGREEMENT. MY FOOT…! BUSH IT..! THIEF…! Nomore thieves should be allowed to rule Zambia.Masholi!Even when you wear our siziba We won’t allow nonsence.

  291. When Sata promised hydro-power in every province or reduce tax none of you chaps commented.
    Govt can no much.
    State funds are only mis-used. There is enough to keep us going.That is why you thieves do not want a person who will hold you accountable.

  294. ba HH dont be a day dreamer u think all de three presidents were not thinking by giving civ ser low salaries were do u think u are going to get money already govt is giving them 50 thousand housing allowance ad u think pipo are happy to hear yr rubish. tell de nation de truth we are not blind kale baletubepa kuli ba kk at mukalaya amani for breakfast were on earth. ni pa bwatooooooooooooooo

  301. #287. ABENA ZED
    Your point is reasonable. If many on this blogg could get facts before yapping we would have been sharing information more intelligently. The chaps are always eyes and ears open to see or hear HH speak out something, and without analysis of it rush to interject.
    Are we happy with the low pay of our civil servants?
    When Sata promises houses to policemen no one supporting HH interjects because that is a point. Our policemen need good houses.
    Viva Zambia and it wonderful people.

  303. Youthful wife!! maybe that explains why Bucks Banda sleeps so much during the day! Youths 4 RB, tell him that the job requires him to be awake. Let the old defend themselves through their contrubution and youths support your own coz he doesnt have exprience so shout the case for him. Maybe its the work of brown envelopes as usual- Shame!!

  304. #6,Chewe guy is very quarellsome,it is shameful and unfortunate that Chewe is showing his ignorance not just to zambia,but the entire world.

    If in America, Obama is receiving support from white voters, why cant Chewe accept that.Tribalism will not help dull chewe.I can safely predict that this chewe guy is going nowhere in life with his tribalism.He thinks PF will give him a job because he is Bemba, forget.Zambia is now changed, infact PF if they win which i still doubt, they will first try to please other provinces to win votes.

    Chewe, Listern to HH’s advice,”Education is the best equalizer, Bemab or tonga,if you dont improve your certificate Chewe,you will still languishing on the st

  305. ba HH dont be a day dreamer u think all de three presidents were not thinking by giving civ ser low salaries were do u think u are going to get money already govt is giving them 50 thousand housing allowance ad u think pipo are happy to hear yr rubish. tell de nation de truth we are not blind kale baletubepa kuli ba kk at mukalaya amani for breakfast were on earth. ni pa bwatooooooooooooooo

  306. #294. morther zambia.
    Have you facts right before yapping.
    In 01 April 1992, Chiluba raised civil servants salaries by a very great margin enabling many of us buy colour TVs which we could not afford with KK. From about K200 to more than K1000 salaries.
    This was after the Fundanga Commission. However, over the years, inflation has eroded that good starting point.
    It can still be done.

  307. HOW DO PAY SUCH BEFORE U START WORKING? THE MINES ARE OWNED BY INVESTORS,SAME INVESTORS ARE GIVEN REBATES,AND GO AWAY OR BURN THEIR COMPANIES,CHANGE NAMES (ZAMCELL,CELTEL,ZAIN..just an example) AT THE END OF TIME.
    SOME ARE USING TOO MUCH FLEET AIR,LAND EXCEPT WATER AND YET THEY ARE N0T IN POWER.
    GUYS MARKET YOURSELVES,DONT MUDSLING,NO WARS WILL COME TO ZAMBIA..
    … NON PARTISAN…

  309. hh hh hh hh hh hh hh pancking!
    LIES IN THE MORNING
    LIES IN THE NOON TIME
    LIES IN THE EVENING
    EVERY THING USELESS NO MEANING
    hh hh hh hh hh hh hh pancking!

  310. I wonder what sort of intellect accepts Sata’s unreasoned and shallow campaign which basically is say what the people you’re addressing want to hear. The man has not committed himself to anything in writing and frankly speaking the idea of paying Civil Servants a decent pay doesn’t sound as ridiculous as free fertilizer promised by Sata

  311. I think HH is either lying through his teeth or does not know what he is talking about.I am a civil servant but I know that Zambia does not have the money to pay minimum of K3.5m. I am personally shocked that HH can make such a statement

  312. #298. Chimbokaila prison
    Allow me to inform you that many Zambians bought off parastatal companies during privatisation. Zamcargo,Manchinchi Bay, eagle travel, Mwaiseni and ZCBC stores, etc. How many are still viable?
    Ask Patrick Chisanga he will tell you.
    Only HH ‘s companies are still afloat.
    The man is a performer.
    Ask anybody who has worked under Sata, They will tell you what a dictator he is.
    You can go aheard and vote for Sata to the peril of the nation.

  313. Zambians be analytical! Its not about who has high chances of wining these elections, its about the future in terms of peace, economic development, democracy and all the other factors that affect a nation. Putting sata in State house will deprive all of us including you PF supporters the peace, development, democracy..etc. The man may win the elections, but what kind of life are we going to lead after the elections? When all these bad things start happening in our country,Is it only UPND, MMD and Heritage supporters who will suffer? Look at how rapid the kwacha has depreciated just because of indications and campaigns of the post that Sata is winning! PF supporters wait and see!

  314. Yaba, twatendwa!May the election date come,please.enough of these campaigns,we want to see the God-sent man in the House on Independence Avenue!Amen!!!

  315. Suffering from TRUTH Decay? Please, HH is right and very posible for the civil servants to earn K3.5m per month. This is the equivalent of US$921.Teachers in Namibia are getting more than that per month. You can’t tell me it’s NOT possible for Zambia. Please think Positively.

  316. HH is the man of not just action but also vision coupled with intellectuality. Let us vote for pipo who have solutions to everything they talk about and not just politiking (promising what they have failed to achieve in their own lives – a small unit). How can they manage the nation’s wealth when it took their sickness to realise that smoking is harmful to their life and their family. Morally, they are more like SATA-NA.HH gave us the solution to all the problems Zambia is facing and I think Zambia will regret voting otherwise.

  318. Dream on HH!!! My Condolences on your coming out 3rd. Even RB has some Nzelu? Don’t worry, the coming PF government will still give you the freedom of dreams you need!

    Congratulations SATA and PF!!!

  321. One fear about Noah’s boat is that God punished those who didn’t get on. Sata might start thinking he is God if he wins and punish those who don’t like him. He said he will oppress some churches. Just like Hitler?

  322. 311. The Author .
    If that promise had come from Sata you would have been kicking and jumping all over with excitement.
    It is easy to believe Sata because he is a liar.
    Liars are used in propaganda.
    Ask Chiluba and KK how they used Sata in campaigns.
    How many of those promises materialised?
    HH would not make a statement that is not workable. That is the advantage of “good education”.
    Professionals dont make statements that are not workable.
    They always research before making a statement of committment.

  323. I dont think its possible for HH to give S.servants that much, including free ferts, free edu to Uni. raise the tax free income to 1.5m etc. The promises made are some how questionable and dont hold any truth. This is a big lie. HH must be serious with real issues. I think this election we dont have a credible presidential candidate….

  324. The AUTHOR # 311. It’s true you are ignorant about the wealth(money) that Zambia has. I don’t blame you, but you should research and know your country. Visit a few countries in the SADC region and you will be shocked to see how much government workers earn per month in US DOLLARS. Zambia has that great capacity. ANYWAY, YOU ARE USED TO BEING CHEATED BY SATA and OTHERS OVER 17 YEARS NOW. Therefore, e3very thing you hear you think it’s lies.I CAN’T BLAME YOU BECAUSE YOUR RB and SATA governments failed you before.

  325. All of u who are supporting the ugliest guy,SATAna will have yourselves to blame if messes up this country.That guy is better off a minister thats all and not presido.
    HH on the other hand is a successful biz man but his biz can’t be extrapolated to haveing a successful economy of the country.so he better tell his dreams to pipo at chainama college or the looney bin at UTH.he can just hang.

    Rb just continue even if u may not b my candidate of choice.Viva apathy

  326. Whether am in the boat or not I will still, be a Zambian.
    The boat concept is some form of fun. Rather ridiculous.
    Get in the boat and do what?
    It it time to work with our hands.
    Pakubokooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
    Pakubokoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  328. Currently, there is alot of financial indiscpline in the civil service, alot of exaggeration on prices of services and goods, prices are inflated as much as 400% in some cases. A simple example I can give is a ream of bond paper, this paper is supplied to the government at a cost of between K45,000 and K60,000. The reputable stationery shops in town sell this same paper at a price range of K14,900 to K22,000. Now if you PF cadres can consult people who know how to do calculations, tell me approximately how much paper is used per year and how much the govt is loosing by paying so much? And this suppliers are even paid before they supply so there is nothing like credit arrangements

  329. Reading between the lines, what HH is saying is that K 3.5M is the gross salary, the PAYE will be increased to 50%, that leaves you with K1.75m take home. With vat at 16.5%, the actual amount in your pocket is less K1.5M.

  330. HH should practice what he is promissing. Does he pay a minimum of K3.5m at his companies? Why should HH promiss to pay civil servants K3.5m with tax payer’s money just because he is desparate for votes?
    HH should be sincere, he give his workers K0.35m because it is his money, and he wants to give civil servant K3.5m (10 times) because it is tax payer money. HH accumulated K13 billil in less that two years, and to me he is able to give that money he is talking about to his workers but he does not do that. This speaks a volume of who this man is; he must be selfish to have all that to yourself and pay your workers little when you know that they must be getting K3.5m minimum.

  331. That shows how dull you are you skeptics. The man is educated and demonstrated wealth creation that all of you have failed to match, not even his opponents. It is doable. Read the Manifesto on wealth creation, job creation and empowerment of the Zambian people. Why should the educationists (teachers), nurses and the police should be the only ones left out to scounge? We need brains, innovation and creativity not the mediocricy of RB and MS. Look at these issues and who has the brains to articulate and provide leadership on agriculture,Finance Mining,Education, Health,Youth and sport, Energy and Global warming, Financial Crisis,Immigration, Social Security,Defense and security,Taxes and trade

  332. #324.My Foot.
    I agree with you. People are used to being told by these politicians that the country is poor. Zambia is not poor.
    The money is only for govt officials, that is Permanent Secretaries and their deputies. Those below them also find a way of stealing.
    They are all buidling big mansions in Kafue and Lusaka.
    Everyone wants to be a minister because govt has money they are eyeing.
    They get loans which they never pay back.

  333. You see i think he is loosing the plot now. thats where our polititians go wrong when they make such utterances i wish they could be bound by a contract that willl bind them to their promises its rediculous i fear for what is going to happen to our country. as Zambians we seriously need a wake up call.

  334. This is the most mature debate I have seen on LT. We as MMD are very impressed. People are concentrating on issues here. Keep it up

  336. Guys HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS! BUT REAL INDEPENDENCE WILL ONLY COME WHEN WE VOTE WISELY FOR HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  337. #304 what is the problem with you # 6 is not Chewe . There are many Chewes in Zambia ,this person has not called his name it is very wrong for you to think that he is Chewe just because he has spoken against Tongas ,by the way not all tongas are tribal eg VJ

  338. viva HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH satana is not going anywhere!!!mutima uzatulika futi!

  339. Those that are saying that HH should pay his workers more, please think twice. HH’s businesses are just like any other in Zambia. The cost of doing in Zambia is the highest in the sub region. If what HH’s businesses are paying to its workers is comparable with other businesses, then that is ok. Moreover, his businesses are run by professionals that do things in the best interests of all stakeholders. So stop this nonsense of saying HH should pay his workers more.

  343. This sounds like a desperate & power hungry man. Its shocking that a man of his stature can make statements like that in public.
    Lets face it, Zambians are well aware that our country has’nt got that kind of money that we should pay civil servants a minimum of K3.5M, this man is a jocker! HH has not even showed how he intends to achieve all these promises.
    Its careless talk like this that gets reed of all daught in the public eye. He should ask B.Y.
    HH wilatubepa ubufi waunfwa!

  345. …#330.Fine!
    HH is talking about State funds to be paid out to its govt workers.
    That has nothing to do with him paying his workers peanuts.

    The question should be “is it possible for the govt to pay out so much?”
    And the answer from him is yes.

  346. Those people that saying how is it going to be possible to pay such wages are the reason that Zambia is still under developed. America is the greatest nation on earth because of its people. They believe in themselves. Our friends have gone to the moon because of their determination. We have been given a chance to elect a visionary leader and all you say is “how?”.

  347. Ladies and gentlemen, HH created his wealth from nothing, because of his belief and determination. We need him to lead us now, and take us to the promised land.

  349. If you Sata group are against pay rise for the civil servants who for years have been underpaid, then suggest something in terms of their pay.

  351. #330 U’RE RIGHT 100%.ONLY PEOPLE WHO DON’T REASON CAN AGREE WITH HIM.
    HH IS VERY USELESS MAN.DOES HE PAY HIS WORKERS 3.5MILLION KWACHA?ASK YOURSELVES THIS QUESTION BEFORE U AGREE WITH HIM.ZAMBIANS PLEASE LEARN TO SEE.U SEEM 2 BE BLIND WITH THESE POLITICIANS.HE HAS COMPANIES BUT HIS EMPLOYEES STILL GET 50 KWACHA.WHO CAN BELIEVE HIM?ONLY HIS FOLLOWERS.I DON’T EVEN WANT TO LISTERN TO HIM BECAUSE HE CONTRADICTS HIMSELF.WHY DOEN’T HE USE THAT MONEY TO PAY HIS WORKERS.THAT’S SELFISHNESS IN HIM.WHY DO YOU WANT TO LIE PEOPLE EVERYTIME HH?I WANT ANYONE 2 CHALLENGE ME WHY HH DOEN’T PAY HIS WORKERS 3.5MILION KWACHA?PABWATOOOOOOOOOOFYE!

  352. but zoona ba ZED balemidelela abantu…balemikola umwela…balemiteeya boola…balemishinga butter…baleeminyuunya…WAKE UP ZEDIANS!

  353. When salaries improve then we will come back and work in Zambia.
    Nurses are all disgrunted
    Teachers are all disgrunted
    policemenn are all disgrunted
    .
    .
    .
    court clerks are all disgrnted
    Why?
    Poor pay they can send their children to private schools for better education.
    Unfortunately the Sata camp do not want to hear anything on education.

  354. RB is going to in Kabwe today upto saturday, What about the independence celebretions? is he going to put that into consideration?

  355. Raise it to a round figure (1000USD).

    The Mutanda-Chavuma road!!! Repeating groove on the record. Bring on a new record guys. You have all failed this road. This is what it means to neglect a peoaple. Shame on you politicians. RB should have put this as #1 on the list instead he went for another lie. Maamba coal mine.

  356. Ref # 354, RB about to arrive in Mumbwa to address thousands of UPND supporters since there is no MDD in Mumbwa. Shame on Nyam Soya.

  357. Hmmm! Some one with good knowledge on how boma works knows badala is lying. I hate it when these mouths Satana,HH, and Banda get so desperate and start saying any rubbish that comes to their minds. Mchhhh!

  358. #349 We are not against pay rise for the civil servants pe say but lies of HH of increasing salaries for more than 200% a black lie and a cheap politicking!

  359. #345. Mulelekwakaba,
    I judge personality by what they are and not what they say. What are HH’s beliefs over minimum pay? Does he practice it when he has such huge capacity do to it as an individual or he holds wealth to himself when he knows they are underpaid? Is he promissing just to win vote using state funds? I believe it is a selfishness to give out what does not belong to you, but hold tight what is in your pocket at the expense of your workers. If HH is genuine and honesty with his the food basket he is talking about, he should have started by giving the people under what he knows they deserve? HH knows what should be the minimum wage, but he doesn’t give it to his workers.

  360. What makes some of the pipo here doubt what this brilliant man is saying? There is alot of money in this country that is goin to waste so give him a chance and see how far he can go with this vision. U are the man HH for all well meaning zambians, those who want democracy, development and quality leadership.

    Go go HH. God is with u.

  362. MAESTRO or whatever you call yourself. You are such a terrible tribalist. I have told you before that you need counseling because your levels of hatred will lead you into doing something silly one day. MARK my words.
    You should know that no tribesman will improve or put food on your table. You’ve probably fled from Zambia because of frustartions and problems. I understand you and would like to help you because your comments usually do not breed oneness, unity or progress but rather division, destruction, disaster and doom. Good Lord help me! This man/woman really needs prayers. You need to be washed clean!!

  363. A lot has been said about politics, Hey guys tomorrow is Independence day. All the guys in WUHAN city in CHINA we’ll have a ka small party to commemorate our Day. So lets meet together, I hope even other Zed guys in thi “Diaspora” will do the same

  364. What is wrong with pipo here, mwalibelela ukuchula? Those of us who are like me will vote for him becoz i sure would do quite alot with that 3.5, so HH u have my vote. Pipo are also saying that he should be paying his workers well, but i want to give this man a benefit of doubt becoz a nation has the capacity to pay its woprkers that much and yet for him as an individual, it is somehow difficult but am sure he is trying. Vote for a leader like HH who is using his brain to think and not sata who uses his mouth to think.

    VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  365. Paying the increased monies not my problem, but where will the pipo take it? Lets have the facilities and infrasturcture on which the millions will be happily spent first. No proper living standards with too much cash is not welcome.

  366. 359. Cont’d..
    and yet he is able to increase his wealth by over K13 billion in less than 2 years. To me that may appear to be dishonesty gain. Why dishonesty? Because he knows the salaries his workers should be getting but deliberately does not give them that money, instead it goes in his pocket. Let us be real with issues; he says MMD uses a thumb sack to determine tax free figure, we will use food basket, has he used it in his companies to determin minimum wage.
    It would have been different if HH did not know what the minimum wage should be, but since knows failure to give it to the people under him amounts to stealing from them, in my view.

  367. Thats the best man for Zambia. Young and educated. We kaponyas know that this can’t work. At least for now. HH is promising too much. K3.5million low pay for civil servants (a kapaso/messenger). K500,000.00 for us loafers per month. free education upto university level, free medical, free seed and fertiliser, low taxes, with the tax credit equitied to the food basket, low interest rates, an economic growth averaging 10% p.a. This is just to much and these are signs that all is not well. HH don’t be desperate 2011 is still coming. Don’t aspire for that office at all cost, maintain your principles and STOP tellin LIES.

  370. Tell your presidential candidates who you also know they are lying that I have told to cheat yourselves with them. They will not manage to cheat me. Some of them I had respect for them, like the young HH, but he is not real. His promises are for a vote not what he really is or what he will do for Zambia. I would rather trust people who are sober like Miyanda and RB. At least they show a sense of honesty. Not HH and SATA; they seem to make promisses mere for a vote – things they are not committed to. Atleast SATA has made one promiss which is what he even practices in his part – No elections once he comes to power.

  371. Zambian are prtentious, that is why the increased salaries should not be priority -community development as was in KK time through Sanitation and health, housing, social welfare, education, should take centre stage to restore the feeling of belonging before pipo can go out and spend their millions.

  372. HH sits on a number of boards in this country, let him tell the nation which company on whose board he sits pays the lowest worker a salary equal to the food basket amount. Ask those workers at Zambezi Sun and hear what they have to say. Be real HH.

  374. I feel sorry for sata and his band of rifrafs.
    YOU GONNA CRY LIKE BABIES on the 2nd of NOV and i’ll be enjoying every minute of it. Can’t wait

  376. #372 and the man has clearly stated that “AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR WILL BE ENCOURAGED (BOLD AND UNDERLINE) TO DO THE SAME” in other words Government will become so attractive to work in such that the Private sector will have to follow suit. What sets the market rate of labour in the market is usually Government who are the biggest employers world wide.

  377. #376. John Chinena, Liteta,
    If HH knows that paying your workers a minimum wage that will meet food basket is the right thing to do, does he need to wait to become president so that he can ecourage himself to pay his workers at Sun, GT, etc that minimum wage. What are trying to talk about? Are you telling us that you will defend HH in any way even when the mistake he is making is clear. HH will pay his workers well when he becomes president? Why not now, when he is accumulating such huge wealth for himself?
    Guys, I know we love these politicians but we still have our minds and brains to see where they go wrong. Let’s not pretend that all of us are Kaponyas please, for the sake of Zambia!

  379. #362, Anonymous, greeting to you and your family. Thanks very much too for your request and probably offer of prayers for me. This is the spirit of oneness that Zambia needs, “One Zambia, One Nation”. I am a male Zambian. Can you please, quote for me naything that backs up your claims. I will then address you and seek to improve. Without you doing so, it is practically impossible for me to know what exactly you are talking about.
    I know that the truth hurts, but the Holy Scripture record that “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”

  380. I have read all your comments. But there is not much space here to clarify all your comments. Instead, if you re keen to know and believe in my and UPND abilities, please visit http://www.hakainde.com You will find all the answers to your questions and concerns. Vote wisely- HH

  381. I am MMD, but i think its unfair for #362 to attack Maestro. I think this man is very objective. Only a person who is not open minded can say otherwise. Keep it up maestro

  383. #288 ba Fine, Are you really fine you? If you haven’t noticed, there only about ten (10) of you who are still clinging to HH, the rest have defected to PF. MMD has resigned, get on the ground man! Have you seen the rally MMD is calling mammoth for RB in his stronghold, E-Province and captioned by the state owned Daily Mail? Check pa BWATO in all corners of ZED. We are on the boat having a cool nice breeze. Ni pa BWAAATOOO, jump on we mean total business for Mother Zambia. Viva Sata>>>>>>>>

  384. HH says he will increase the salaries for Civil Servants and people say it is a sign of desperation to woo voters. Satan says he will put money in everybody’s pockets in 90 days and everybody shouts pabwato in agreement. Now learned colleagues, which of the two is practical? Stone age era welcome to Zambia.

  385. #381,Mike Mulongoti, thank you very much for the kind and good words. I like the fact that we are diverse in nature and political support or party inclination and we respect each others view points especially on objective blogging. Gentlem and ladies of my my Great Country Zambia, let us all move our country forward. Criticism epecially CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM is health and welcome. However, let us not critise and aim to pull others down if we have no points to back up our claims.
    “One Zambia, One nation.” I ask all bloggers to take a few moments to reflect on the words of our Zambia National Anthem, have a critical look at our court of Arms and analyse our Flag. May you have a bless day.

  388. No.6 shame on you. To me you sound like an inadequate human being. Oh yes that is the correct description you deserve whoever you are. One thing you need to tell me, how do you handle the presence of Tongas in the parties you are supporting? Because its not like those parties do not have a single Tonga person?

  389. Hey guys, have you noticed the PF mouth piece (The Post) is saying? It seems the chaps have been completely bought. They have no morals. Just in the previous election, they came out against Sata but now they are willing to go to bed with him. Shame on them.

  390. #275, Fine!, great posting there. Let ZNBC give all the Presidential candidates for the 30th October, 2008 election to give length discussions on all their promises we have heard in this campaign on 28th October, 2008 simultaneously so that no one plagiarises another’s talk.
    My country Zambia is a very rich Country. The only problem is that we have have leadership that has mismanagement our National resources.
    Countdown:-
    1.) 6 days 10 hours 50 minutes remaining and we are counting.
    2.) 10 hours 50 minutes to Zambia National Independence Day.

  391. Guys let’s not vote for thedictor. He has already started showing signs of dictorship. Where on earth does one want to rule forever? Please Sata don’t take us to the likes of Zimbabwe. Mind you, Zim has infrastucture while we don’t. A curse on your campaigns of lies. May they backfire on you. Shame on you

  392. Guys let’s not vote for thedictor. He has already started showing signs of dictorship. Where on earth does one want to rule forever? Please Sata don’t take us to the likes of Zimbabwe. Mind you, Zim has infrastucture while we don’t. A curse on your campaigns of lies. May they backfire on you. Shame on you

  393. POTENTIAL # 388 i AGREE WITH YOU. PEOPLE LIKE #6 and KUNDA #387 need alot of teaching. If those who saw the walls of school behave this way , you expect much less from those on the street.

  394. The POST has just posted itself to the dust bin. Mmembe likes mediocre leaders in Government so that his paper would sell by exposing their mistakes. That’s his secret.

    He’s afraid of HH because news will only be about development, not theft, womanising like him,sata and RB.

    HH is too clean for them, hence they hate him. THhey cannot point any wrong against him so that they make NEWS. wooo….woooooo….
    VIVA HH…..viva…hhhhhhhhhhhhhh.VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  395. Guys let’s not vote for the dictor. He has already started showing signs of dictorship. Where on earth does one want to rule forever? Please Sata don’t take us to the likes of Zimbabwe. Mind you, Zim has infrastucture while we don’t. A curse on your campaigns of lies. May they backfire on you. Shame on you

  396. #390 Yes many people say we are rich but we suffer bad leadership. Seeing we the voters put these leaders into office may be we should point at ourselves. We got what we voted. It comes down to numbers – votes for MMD, UPND, PF or HP. Can we please come up as a nation with a mechanism that gives us good leadership. I think one way is to expose our presidential candidates to national debates, so we can know who is making false promises. Unless we have ways of questioning them, we may not be able to plug this hole – the yap yap but no substance, and someone thinks he’s fit to lead us. We the voters have allowed ourselves to be cheated. These guys are fighting to enjoy our tax money.

  398. let me also add and tell these PF cadres the truth…… HH workers you are refering to are mostly illiterate and with no qualifications….. HH is talking about qualified GVT employees. What is K3.5m to be given after all. Thats a minimum monthly income a well quqlified worker would be looking for from his/her employer. Ba zambia you are realy used to suffering, thats why you are awaz taken for guaranteed and abused by your employers. It is possible to give workers this much for serous President. Theres plenty money pa Z. Why do you think ministers are demanding big salary increments????? because they are aware of Zambia resource…. its high time we shared the cake….. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  400. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  402. HH – Hopeless Hunter, aren’t you all using different strategies. Others have reduced fertilizer others claim less taxes , frankly I can’t vote…can someone come buy my voters card!

  405. Mingeli Palata caught lying about HH on http://www.lusakatimes.com/ ? p = 4932.
    “A N C D A I L Y N E W S B R I E F I N G…FRIDAY 2 DECEMBER 2005
    @ ZAMBIA-VOTE-OPPOSITION…LUSAKA 1 December 2005 Sapa-AFP…Bob Sichinga, vice president of the United Party for National
    Development (UPND), quit his post after he called for leader
    Anderson Mazoka to step down. “I advised Mazoka not to contest his position because of his poor health but he has refused to heed my advise,” Sichinga said.” Meanwhile UNPD Superdelegates elected president HH in August or so of 2006 ahead of the Nov. 2006 election
    Please, I am waiting for you response to this, Mingeli Palata. Great men and women apologise for cheating.

  406. eyo kwe na boi HH uli nomwelaa bad! free education, free medicare, no salary for you as president, 3.5m minimum wage for civil servants…….iyo kwena.

  407. happy independent day to PF, UPND, MMD AND HERITAGE MEMBERS
    i HOPE TOMORO NOBODY TALK POLITICS OR COMPAIGN WE ARE ALL ONE BIG FAMILY BORN OF BELOVED MOTHER ZAMBIA!!

  409. #Let ZNBC give all the Presidential candidates for the 30th October, 2008 election to give length discussions on all their promises we have heard in this campaign on 28th October, 2008 simultaneously so that no one plagiarises another’s talk.

  412. As an economist/Accountant, it is very intereting to hear from you the promises of less tax, free education and now a minimum of K3.5. Well this calls for all zedians to give this young man more time to plan well for his plans because voting him now will make it difficult for him to govern.
