Finance and National Planning Minister, Situmbeko Musokotwane said the Government would encourage private sector participation by removing bureaucracy and making it easy for people to start doing business.
Private Sector Development Association (PSDA) chairperson, Yusuf Dodia urged the Government to avoid borrowing from banks next year so as not to create more pressure on the financial sector.
Mr Dodia said the Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC) and the Development Bank of Zambia (DBZ) should be merged so that they could assist Zambians in starting up businesses.
Another businessman, Jeremiah Dauya said the Government should give local businesses incentives to enable their products to compete with imported items.
Meanwhile Dr. Musokotwane said donors have pledged to fulfill their budgetary commitments in next year’s Budget despite the global financial crisis.
Dr Musokotwane said on the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) television programme, “National Watch” monitored yesterday that donors contributed 25 per cent of Zambia’s national Budget.
He said that because of the global crisis there were fears that donor countries who were most affected would cut their support but most of them had confirmed their contribution.
“So far most donors have indicated that they will fulfill their pledges and the only worry will be about the job losses in the mines,” he said.
He said Zambia should not be scared to attract foreign investment because it accounted for the positive economic trends in countries such as China and Thailand.
“We should not be scared to attract local and foreign investment but we should just ensure that people benefit,” he said.
He said Zambia had not attracted sufficient foreign investment, especially that it came from a “commandist” economy and that since it had a small market the option was to export in order to earn foreign exchange.
He added that Zambia was not the only country that was facing job losses in the mines and the Government was monitoring mines while looking at measures of protecting jobs.
Dr Musokotwane said President Banda recently visited Luanshya Mine because the Government was concerned about the job losses.
He also assured that next year’s Budget would address how Zambia would pull through out of the global financial crisis.

:((:”>:d/ Its easily said than done, this government is a bunch of crooks. God will sort you out.
Ah! Me am just tired of always readin govt. will do this and that but in actual fact there is nothing they are doin…Actions speak louder….
That is a step in the right direction.
I just hope this is not the usual ‘words without works’.
#6. Girly
There many reasons why the govt must state what they are doing or intend to do.
Amongs these reasons is that then public needs to know so that if their moves are not acceptable they must be criticised else they must be susported.
Another reason is that the public demands that govt states what they are doing top address the many things that face society. Am sure that we all want to hear govt tell us what steps they are taking to address issues of global financial crisis impacting us already. The public has demanded that govt explains the measures they are taking to address these issues.
This calls therefore that every isssue the govt is doing be transparent.

Same old crap heard it before ..nothing new the same general talk which MMD can’t execute and so nothing will happen. RB tried to be specific and look at how many specific promises he has broken so far. The MMD just don’t have what it take to move this country forward and so they have to hide under general things like empower citizens, remove bureaucracy, alleviate poverty, build capacity…they general things nobody can quantify. This is FTJ politics nothing new.
can someone please explain to me the meaning of this topic
#9
But I would very muh rather see the works than listen to their stories. I dont see the point in them tellin me wat they intend to do but at the end of the day dont do it. Its all sweet nothings as far as am oncerned… :-@
#14. Girly,
I totally agree with you.
If all they will do is speak but not ready to do what they say then their is something wrong.
We would all like to see what we hear implemented.
Why are we still talking about removing bureacracy, when we do not even a legal structure to guide the foreign investors.
These guys are externalising money at will and they can come and go at will especially when their tax holiday is over, without paying benefits to workers. When the whole world is talking about regulating, we are doing the opposite
Trying to think MMD at this time will implement something is a waste of time. They don’t have the vision to deliver development apart from enriching their pockets. Too much of talking but poor implementation. take for example the FRA saga, everyday its a story that maize will be offloaded but when???? People are crying of hunger and I wonder if the maize is there. Too bad!!!!!!! [-(
Actions speak louder than words why can’t they do what they are saying and speak later, we have heard alot of crap so far without any results we have had enough sir finance minister.Actions plizzzz
MMD and Lundani is crap period. these two names irritatr me so much. :-@
The CEEC is more of a fallacy than a reality. One is even better off going to the bank than the CEEC. We are aware that most Zambians cannot afford to secure their loans as they no assets. But that is what the CEEC are asking people in villages to do! Some don’t even have bank accounts. I even wonder where the money they are charging as administration fees for collection of forms is going to as no receipts are issued. In one place all applications submitted by residents were rejected. What kind of empowerment is this?

22. Kwikuta Kwa Mpombu
That is all U can say?
The calture in Zambia is very bad.
Everyone wants the goverment to develop the economy.
When an Ethiopan/Somalian gets a K20 million he will buy a block making machine and employees a number of zambians to be doing work for him.
With the same money, the first thing a zambian will think of is visit ‘autorec’ to buy a second hand car.
When the Somalian’s business grows and he diversifies the Zambian turns to the govt and says they only support the foreigners.
Yes there are cases where policies are biased, but there is much available to Zambians to do which they dont do. Priorities are misplaced in most minds of Zambians.
MUSOKOTWANE, ARE YOU, AND CAN YOU. BECAUSE IF YOU DO REMOVE BUREAUCRY THAT WILL GREATLY REDUCE YOUR STEALING LOOPHOLES. YOU CHAPS ARE JOKERS. DO WHAT SATA ADVISED YOU TO DO. WHAT SATA SAID HAS A LOT OF SUBSTANCE IN IT.
What did SATA say?
YES WHAT DID HE SAY? NONSENSE AS USUAL!….
22 you have no brains, 25 FIne, you have scored the point. All Zambians know is to condemn their leaders. Their leaders have done it all but Zambians continue to be docile. learn from what Somalians, Lebanese are doing. Laziness is all you know , no initiative, drunkhards (Most of us), lacking in patriotism. Please bane you have been educated what have you done with you education. Speak good English. Its citizens who bring economic development, the govt is driving it by giving you policy direction. Mu chinje bane

u’ve said it…
And meanwhile wat do u do (4 urself…..)
People are losing jobs and you call these policies? i think your reasoning is like that of Mwamba Luchembe.
work hard mwebantu bakwa lesa….
25 and 29 what do you want me to say coz this Gorvenment has failed us for the past 15 years all they know is to adorn themselves with words but no action what so ever. In case some of you don’t know them but time will tell. In conclusion this Goverment is just full of baseless words with no action but good at making money from it’s people through dubious means! only God will serve us all.
This talk of cutting red tape to reduce the time it takes to start business sounds good but, unfortunately, it never happens. All countries are measured on a common index which highlights barriers to doing business and Zambia is very lowly ranked. That is the type of data that investors look at before deciding to invest in a particular country. That’s how come we have the president and other governmenmt officials globetrotting to woo investors who never come. Investors are not like the electorate who just listen to politicians. They do their homework and make sure your money is where your mouth is.
Goverment just dreams comes up with a Kangaroo policy to induce you in order for them to raise money for their allowances you call those policies?
#34 Good!
Definitely a step in the right direction. E.g Companies House-painful experience, where you had to pay a “facilitation fee” for things to get done quickly. Lands registry is another place where bureaucracy was rife. Investment Centre too. Maybe things improvved but wow!
It frustrates many people all because of a few swimming in their self-importance they would prefer to hinder progress because they’re the ones to sign off on things. During FTJ civil service was almost destroyed. The civil service should be improved because there are experienced people (regardless of politicall affiliation)who need to be left to do their jobs without interference.
The Zambian Govt is very funny and lacks serious strategic thinking and planning.How do you rely on donor money, this is other countries tax payers money.In the midst of a financial crisis they are still relying on other countries tax payers money (donor money).They are joking. Why not learn from these countries how they generate this donor money.We have been advising them to have a robust tax system like in developed countries so that they can motivate individuals but they are still holding onto the ancient tax systems, and to make matters worse what they generate from even these taxes it’s missapropriated.Please just keep quiet if you have nothing to say.Zambians will surely
Bureaucracy cannot be removed what can be removed is the red tape. Lets hope thats what hem means!
contd, Zambians will surely judge you by yor performance. Stop wasting time by issuing baseless speeches which you have failed to implement before & which you will fail to implement in the present & future.Zambians if you can read between the lines these speeches are intended to give us false hope so that they can continue staying in power.It’s just a way of diverting attention. The more they can issue these false hopes,the longer they can stay in power,we will be very suprised that 2011 is here and once again Zambians would have been taken for a ride.Zambians wake up and start ecercising your rights by holding them accountable to those very speeches. let’s make sure their plans are SMART
Sorry in #38 line 5 i meant motivating Individuals and businesses. SMART planning refers to plans that are Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Time Bound.
we want Magande back
I’m waiting…
“Another businessman, Jeremiah Dauya said the Government should give local businesses incentives to enable their products to compete with imported items.”
This is the way to go. We are tired of hearing about foreign investment. We want local investors who will be able to protect jobs of their fellow Zambians in times of trouble for there will be a personal and moral responsibility to see to it that all is well with each one’s neighbour.

42. your flag wiksin, I like your “we want Magande back”. However, I feel Magande did well not to be part of this GRZ because his political career would have been compromised.
However, I urge my, our, President RB Banda to stop being proud and consult Magande PN as to how things can be made to work.
Clearly, President RB Banda had/has no plan for Zambia except “trial and error” solutions similar to what bush-mechanics do when you take a car to be repaired by them as they are not experts.
Since, the President is in this dilemma, I advise him to consult president HH who has a master plan for in form of the UPND manifesto. HH has a moral responsibility to make sure he will not inherit

#48 continued.
HH has a moral responsibility to make sure he will not inherit a GRZ that will not be manageable should he be Zambian President in 2011. To this end, I am positive that president HH will not be selfish and hide solutions to put Zambia back on the late Mwanawasa legacy.
NP Magande offered to help while president HH mentioned that he will not draw a salary should he be President by even signing a social contract to show seriousness on this matter; which give me confidence that these 2 Tonga bulls will not even consider to be paid for their expert advice to President RB Banda and his Administration. So, let the President pull up his socks and stop being proud for nothing.
There was a long, long line of spirits at the gate waiting to get into heaven. Not all these spirits could fit into heaven, so the ones who died the worst death would be allowed in.
The first man in line started telling his story, “Well, Peter, you see, I knew that my wife was cheating on me so I decided to come home early from work one day to catch them in action. I got home and searched all over but I couldn’t find him. Then when I walked out onto the balcony, there he was dangling off the darn thing by his fingertips. So I ran and got a hammer then started beating him with it and he fell. Well, the fall didn’t kill him, because he landed in a bush so I picked up the refrigerator and
threw it on him. Although that killed him, the strain gave me a heart attack, and here I am.”
The next man came up and started his story. “St. Peter, I always work out on my balcony on the 14th floor of my apartment building. I was on my bike one day and I fell off when it flipped. I sailed over the rail and I thought ”Please God spare my life” and he did. I caught on to a balcony below me. I was even happier when a man discovered me hanging there. But all of a sudden he started beating my hands with a hammer so I fell again. But the dear Lord saved me again when I landed in a bush. But I’m here now because the guy threw his refrigerator on top of me.”
It was now the third guys turn to start his story. “Well, Peter, just picture this. I’m hiding butt naked in this married chicks refrigerator…..”

#33. Kwikuta Kwa Mpombu
Just be straight to the point, dont say this government has failed us for 17 years, No.
Be specific, just say SATA and Chiluba failed us for 10 years and they had the guts to copntinue failing us by fighting for third term.
The past 7 years Mwanawasa began to correct what Chiluba and SATA destroyed, but then he died three months ago and so he could not finish mopping the mess created by these guys.
RB has taken over the mess, and as he is trying to clear, another issue of the global financial crisis copmes along.
Of course, as a leader, RB has no excuse but to work and face the challenges. But SATA should not disturb him as if he wants his mess to linger.
Breaking news: Information reaching my desk is that the pump price of fuel has been reduced. Someone confirm please.
#27. You are very irritating. You are a real pain in the …..wrong place, but I support you when you say Chiluba and Sata failed us 10 years ago. We are in this mess because of Chiluba’s government.
Atleast Sata has realised that their policies were wrong.
MOSOKOTWANE MATE YOU HAVE SAID NOTHING ASK SATA FOR IDEAS LIKE YOUR GVNT DID LAST WEEK AND GOT HELP.YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS NO IDEAS ON HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS THE COUNTRY IS FACING.THE LATE PRESIDO SIMPLY ASKED SATA FOR IDEAS AND IMPLIMENTED THEM, HE BECAME POPULAR.
SWALLOW YOUR FILTHY PRIDE AND SEEK HELP BECAUSE IT IS HUMANS YOU ARE DEALING WITH. EMPTY HEADS ARE A NO SOLUTION TO ZAMBIA’S RAPIDLY GROWING PROBLEMS.
IF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY KEEP QUIET AND SLEEP LIKE RB. YOU WILL BE PAID BY THE END OF THE MONTH AND BE ENTITTLED TO ALL SALARY INCREMENTS, FOR DOING NOTHING BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT OUR PRESENT GOVERNMENT STANDS FOR.
Zambians talk too much and forget easily! Dr Kaunda lead us into independnce and we shared everything, result-we got broke and called Kaunda names, then came Dr Chiluba who promised so many good things, result-brown evelopes and institutlised theft ( sitting,travelling,phone allowance etc)and we called a him thief! The Dr Mwansawasa came on the scene,promising to promote the law and fighting corruption,result-lawyers became very rich and above all the brown envelope syndrome continued,Plus the so called famility tree. Finally we have R.B soon to be come Dr and he blaming everything on the credit crunch, if Cholera.We have just been a circus nation.
# 25 walasa. Very objective comment.Most Zambians are lazy,too extravagant, always waiting for the Govt to do everything for them. Even in our homes, our children do not just sit they also contribute to the well being of the family. If I want the Govt to do something for me I should start by doing something for it. The world has so many jobs some people fail to chose just one. Kuli bu fisherman, bricklayer,plumber,grocer,carpenter,soldier,teacher,doctor,lawyer, engineer etc.Its a matter of choice. Those waiting for the Govt to do something for them, keep waiting muzani uza.
This is a good move. I look forward to see the incentives that will be given to local investors.
The CEEC is one of the best ideas govt has ever come up with. I just want to comment on the issue of approving loans. The CEEC is supposed to be self sufficient and there money is limited. They expect a return on their investments and other people must also access the loans. They cannot approve just any project. They have to be careful with the projects they approve.
I also applaud govt on the transparency they are showing.
#60. SISTER,
How can I help you stop the pain and the irritation.
What pain killer could possibly be used to easy your pain.
I am sure this is the same pain the Zambians are going through because of the wound that Chiluba and SATA left.
Mwanawasa tried his best to reduce this would and he did reduce it to a good extent. But the damage was too big that it will take a bit of time.
I must say here that we should not let the current regime create more wounds but criticise them when they do wrong and support them when the do the right thing.
And let us guard against politicians who want others to fail because themselves failed for 10 years, and now they want us to view them as heros.
ALL THE VERY NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON THIS BLOG COME FROM THE ANGER OF THOSE WHO WERE DUPED THAT MICHAEL CHILUFYA SATA COULD HAVE BECOME PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA.COOL DOWN AND BE POSITIVE LEST YOU HAVE HEART ATTACKS FOR NOTHIN OUT OF YOUR ANGER. SATA AND CHILUBA IN THEIR MYOPIC THINKING TOOK ZAMBIA 10 YEARS BACK! RB HAS COME ON TRHE SCENE AND FOUND PROBLEMS WHICH ARE NOW COMPOUNDED BY THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS.TO MOVE FORWARD RB HAS OPENED DOOR TO ALL THOSE PROGRESSIVE ZAMBIANS WHO HAVE IDEAS.THIS IS NOT ABOUT PARTISAN POLITICS LIKE SATANA AND HIS FOLLOWERS SEEM TO PORTRAY.ALL OF US AS ZAMBIANS NEED TO BE POSITIVE TO TACKLE THE SITUATION.CRITICISING FOR NOTHING WONT DO
Fine your contributions stink.
#60. SISTER ,
So SATA has just realised?
For ten years he could not realise?
You must remember that 10 years is called a decade, therefore for more than a decade SATA could not realise?
That is why he cannot make a good president. You cant take so long time without reasing you are damaging the country, and you want to be president.
RB, should also be realising early enough. Otherwise we are not going to be allowing people to ruin our country the way Chiluiba and SATA did for a decade.
We will not give any more mandate to RB, should he not be seen to deliver by 2011, but SATA should not disturb after all the chaos RB has to clean was left by him and collegues.

#67. Chewe,
Yes they can stink to you.
I know what you like with you friends who perceive things the way you do.
Any constructive topic, they turn it into a social agenda and want to start dating here where we talk serious business.
That way, anything that makes sense will stink to you, and it will also irritate you.
So even when we contribute we know that those guys who like loughing and exchanging and fun will be irritated but there is nothing we can do for you since what we do is the purpose of this site.
I can advise you to find some social site somewhere if what we share here is proving difficult for you.
Chi Fine,you have shown on this blog the amount of hatred you have for Sata.Hence i will always face you head on!
“Former Republican Vice President, Dr. Nevers Mumba has urged African leaders to have a clear vision of how to govern their countries.
Dr. Mumba says African countries have remained undeveloped because most of their leaders have no clear visions for their countries to foster development.

“And Dr. Mumba says the country’s current economical problems are not peculiar to the Rupiah Banda led administration.
He explained that Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, Frederick Chiluba and Dr. Levy Mwanawasa also faced challenges in governing the country.

“He said Mr. Banda’s ascend to presidency has coincided with the global financial crisis and that he should be given time to settle.
Dr. Mumba also called on the political leaders advocating for demonstrations due to numerous challenges the country is facing, to dialogue with Government in fostering national development.
The Opposition PF has in the recent past been calling for the countrywide demonstrations over High mealie meal prices.

Thanks man! It is good to know that though those that are deceived are many, we have many others like you who make contributions here because there is substance to share, not those who just come to distort topics to suit what they can understand.
Because of guys like you, i continue to read the contributions on this blog and I too endeavour to throw in some contributions.
#72. Chewe,
You are free to face me head on.
As for me instead of wasting time to face you, i will concetrate on making meaningful contributions to the blog.
Going back to the topic, as we have been saying from the start the minister’s statement is encouraging because opportunities are tied to time.
If there is too much bureaucracy, some projects fail to take off because opportunities have no obligation to wait for these bureaucies to conclude. Any opportunity needs to be siezed at the time it shows.
SATA and Chiluba left laws that had too much bureaucracy, never minding the link btn opportunity and time.
Now, this is part of cleaning of the mess left behind, we are talking about.
#69. ZAMBIANA, while the vision 2030 has good points in it, we need 5-year plans because a GRZ government only has a mandate for 5-years at any one time. 2030 is far from today – in case you overlooked this fact, it is 21 years from today; a time where President RB Banda will no longer be remembered obviously.
We NEED solutions now and not in 21 years times PERIOD and the current MMD GRZ has a responsibility to see to it that Zambians have safe water, food, proper affordable housing, ect now or in the next 2 and half years in which time their mandate will come to a halt though there is a slim chance they mighty win the 2011 elections. To this end, we cant bank on 2030, but do things now.

77. your flag Fine!, Chewe might be a close relative of the Undereducate, Micheal Chilufya Sata. Therefore, since he openly said pali ba-Sata ine (himself) nikafwiilapo, the man Chewe is ready to die just because of Sata. In fact, this is no differnet from a TERRORIST’s mentality who just follows what his boss says without reasoning.
I feel for Chewe. The youngman has potential to make it, but the root he has taken is not helping him or the nation Zambia.
The best you can do is to advise him Chewe and hope that it will sink in his head, then leave him to think carefully on his own.
Fine to me,your contributions are so irritating.Just showing how much you hate Sata always.And i wil not fold my arms and allow frustrated creatures like you,talk rubish from there empty heads against Sata.Never!

DONT TELL ME YOU ARE NOT A SCHOLAR OF MANAGEMENT.U NEED A VISION AND LONG TERM PLANS FOR EVERY SHAREHOLDER OF ZAMBIA PLC TO SEE WHERE THE COUNTRY SHOULD BE GOING.I FOR ONE WOULD NOT WANT TO BE LED BY A BLIND MAN WITHOUT A VISION AND LONG TERM PLANS.WHAT IS IN THE VISION 2030 AND 5TH NATIONAL DVELOPMENT PLANS IS A GUIDE AND AS THINGS CHANGE YOU ADJUST!IT WOULD FOLLY FOR HH IF EVER HE WOULD BECOME PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA TO COME AND TRASH THOSE WELL ARTICULATED DOCUMENTS.MIND YOU MOST ZAMBIANS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIKE FROM DISRICT UP TO NATIONAL LEVELS WERE INVOLVED IN CRAFTING THOSE DOCUMENTS.MEANING THAT THESE DOCS ARE ONWNED BY ZAMBIANS PERION.ARE YOU LOST?????
#75. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe
What you have brough is very good material to look at.
What comes out is that the material and concerns raised are objective.
Of course we cant weigh on one side and explain the causes of the problems; we must take the second step of taking steps to address these problems we have in the nation.
Mumba is right to say demos are not part of the steps we need to take to address this crisis.
And saying NO to demos is in no way a way of supporting or defending the govt, NO. RB and team must work to address these problems. For too long we have made excuses because we have been satisfied with the causes of our problems, and have not taken further steps to move forward.
Maestro Hhhehhehhe you spoke so much rubish against me the other day,potraying the picture that i dont know how to propalse a lady.And that my parents should help me.I didnt want to ans you,because if i had done that,you wouldnt have like me.So carefull,to hell with your advice.Sokwe yebo!
If there is a statement I hate, this is the one – Meanwhile Dr. Musokotwane said donors have pledged to fulfill their budgetary commitments in next year’s Budget despite the global financial crisis.
Donor dependance! dont tell me we cant do without donors. Life we should take it as it comes. If I cant afford staying in Kabulonga I need to adjust and may be look at Kabwata. If Kabwata cant do I might as well go to matero.
Mwamuna sasila abuwa che.
#65 and 68. Sometimes your contributions are baseless. Especially the fact that you seem to have a natural hatred for the man, Sata.
Please stop concentrating on critizing SATA all the time. You are getting too personal. Sometimes you’re even missing the point.
Your contributions are good I must say.
Oh….by the way, the pain has disappeared. Please dont make it come back.
Hi No. 79 Maestro Hhehhehhehhe, I was of the opinion that Sata is just goog as an opposition leader. Atleast he keeps them awake.
#80. Anonymous
To the contrary, I love SATA more than you do.
There are many things that SATA has raised in the past that i have agreed with, but that does not mean I should agree with everything he says or does, not at all.
In 2006, SATA raised many meaningful issues eg. casualisation, and of course many wrongs things, eg. his talks against investors.
If you think those that love SATA must agree with him in everything, the I reecommend that you remove me quickly from the list of his lovers.
Again if your theory of love means I must i agree with everyhing RB does then remove me quickly from the list of RB’s lovers.
I will never fit your definition of love.

We need to give timelines to this Govt as we monitor & evaluate their performance.Even in companies there is probation and performance appraisals because anyone can inflate and exagerate their CV’s or Resumes.By January 31st we need to assess their performance based upon the 3 months probation from October 31st, we can be a little bit gracious and extend it for another 3 months because some companies have 6 months probation.If by the end of April there has been no performance Zambians need to think seriously because this Govt may turn out to be a big liability,people cannot continue to eat speeches.We can ask them to resign on moral grounds and honoroubly.It’s done in developed countries.
THIS BRILLIANT SON OF ZAMBIA OUR MINSTER OF FINANCE, DR.MOSOKOTWANE IS LEADING US TO UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES AT HAND FOR ZAMBIA TO MOVE FORWARD.HATS OFF TO HIM AND HIS BOSS RB.

84. Chewe, hhehhehhehhe. Look at you Chewe, now you are writing that I am “Sokwe”. Let us take it that you are correct, then who are you, Chewe? Please, reflect on my question carefully before writing more nonsense.
On my advice to you on ladies, it was meant to help you avoid chasing after any female-like usernames for bloggers and keep this blog to discourses on issues in the news and not patronising each other with stranded women or bored housewives or whoever else I have not categorically classified.
I wish you all the best though in your search for a wife and parents can help you on a serious note if things are not going well for you alone.
Have a blessed day my friend.

88. your flag Fine!, I am with you 100% on loving Sata and your comments.
“I have never learnt anything from someone who agrees with me always” – unknown is my way of doing things as I look up to the good lord God for guidance in everything.
Let us who are true lovers of the undereducate, Micheal Chilufya Sata, show these characters how love is shown as they have clearly shown us constantly that they do not like Sata as they in some chorus-knid of allege.

You are always negative. I have seen your comments and they are always attacks.
Are you telling me that a person can just poof a house into thin air if he wants one???
Those are the kind of implementations you are talking about. There is no quick fix my friend and if the Minister of Finance had to just poof a policy out of thin air without evaluation and planning and also knowing the +/- then the implications would be disastrous. It is like studying for an exam the day before and expecting a 100%.
Lets be serious. They obviously have to plan how they will do this. 90 days has not elapsed. Give them chance and stop being SATA fanboys.
To the so-called christians on here, did Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour patronise the Pharisees or he told them the truth. What about Jesus Chrsit’s rebuke on Peter his disciple when He Jesus said that get behind me satan.
Do such examples from the Holy Bible fail to provide us with the true love that we must show to our beloved ones like our bashikulu ba-Sata?
In the above posting, “chorus-knid” must be ‘chorus-kind’.

I have no desire to mention SATA, in fact I would not even have known that there is such a name as SATA.
But each of the problems we are talking about have an interface with SATA.
Tell me any of the problems today, and show me it is not linked to SATA, and I will show you that SATA has a bearing of it.
Just like issues that eminate from RB and his regime, you cannot detatch them from RB, not at all.
We can all use Holywhood skill and pretend that SATA and Chiluba caused none of the problems Zambia faces today.
But there will be no benefit for us doing such acting; our friends at Holywood act for money, but what benefit will it be to us?
Maestro Hachigabalala, is there anything wrong for me to Jok with Cutey?even if am so desperate,i cant reduce myself to a level where i start serching for a lady on the internent.I was so upset with you that day.You should really thank God,i controlled myself and never responded.
#
90. your flag New Zambia, good points there. I am actually hoping that President RB Banda will be the first Zambian President to resign from office if following late Mwanawasa’s Vice President resignation from the Chiluba MMD admistration.
However, President RB Banda must only resign if he will fail and also when the NCC and Parliament has successfully made sure that the Presidential candadate age limit is between 30 – 65 years of age while the minimum qualification for a President and MPs must be a Masters Degree in any field of study.
Have a great day.

97. your flag Anonymous, thanks for everything. You can joke, but please do not overdo it (the joking with females). In fact, the ladies who like to be praised are a liability to men’s progress.
So, my message to you was meant to help you stick to the forums on the blog instead chatting with females for there are chat sites where you can do that.
On LT, wee are seeking to provide President RB Banda and all other stakeholders with expert knowledge that will help them govern us Zambians well and led us all to prosperity. I hope this will be clear to your mind. Take care my man for I need you for us all to develop. I cant afford to ba avoided by you and vice versa.
With respect to my friend Chewe on LT, I have momentarily change my LT username to Maestro Hachigabalala instead of Maestro Hhehhehhehhe.
This is in honour also to “Ackson?” Hachigabalala who used to appear on ZNBC TV I think Zamtel Adverts.
Have a nice day you all.
we are watching, please continue :-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?:-?

Let me do something constructive,because here empty heads of Fine and Maestro Hatombwe are just wasting my time.Instead of adressing serious issues they are just showing how they hate Sata.Wise bloggers ejoy blogging,let me balance some things.
104. your flag Chewe, you wrote “Maestro Hachigabalala, dont even mention Jesus here.Because your character on this blog doesnt reflect Jesus.You hypocrite!” Now who is reflecting Jesus Christ’s way of doing things here between you and me.
Check yourself before you lose yourself Chewe! Remember who you are always and where you come from and also where you are heading to before producing nonsense on here.
107. your flag Anonymous, all the best Chewe and please remember that you can always come back when things do not work out where you are now going.
I will continue loving you to the very end.

106. your flag ZAMBIANA, nice advice to Chewe.
Mastro Hatombwe,let this sink in that head of yours.Am not saying that i have stopped blogging.I just want to do one or two things.I wil be back in the evenings.Why do you want to chase me?
#
112. your flag Chewe, what you have written is exactly what I mean on “Mastro Hatombwe,let this sink in that head of yours.Am not saying that i have stopped blogging.I just want to do one or two things.I wil be back in the evenings.”
All the best in that activity and keep well.
I am neither PF, MMD , UPND or a member of any of the other opposition parties. I am an independent and i am of the view that the majority of Zambians should become independents so that we can hold the ruling party and all opposition parties accountable. Those that want to be party cadres are free to do so and they can keep on insulting each other but as for us independents it’s our duty to seriously vet all of the political parties . We are the swing voters. God bless Zambia.

114. your flag New Zambia, nice wise words.
Maestro,
Do you want to buy a house fly?
DONORS have pledged to fulfill their budgetary commitments in next year’s Budget despite the global financial crisis, Finance and National Planning Minister, Situmbeko Musokotwane has said.
Dr Musokotwane said on the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) television programme, “National Watch” monitored yesterday that donors contributed 25 per cent of Zambia’s national Budget.A Nation of Beggars when are we going to grow and stand on our own.The Americans,the British owe us nothing and they are not required to fulfill their commitment.
One wonders whether Zambia has leaders or comics
117. Anonymous, I missed on that one, but please I’d like to.
