Defence Minister, George Mpombo, has asked Parliament to approve the 2009 National Budget without delay to facilitate the country’s timely response to effects of the current global economic meltdown and called those not supporting the budget as political nonsense.
Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, Mutale Nalumango, ordered Mr. Mpombo to withdrawal the word ‘political nonsense’ .
Mr Mpombo, who complied with the order, replaced the unparliamentary word of ‘political nonsense’ with ‘political foodology’ as an act of not supporting the budget.
Mr Mpombo, however, continued to create laughter in the House when he maintained the usage of bombastic words in his debate.
Mr Mpombo, who is also Kafulafuta Member of Parliament, warned that failure to approve the budget in good time would make it difficult to effectively confront the negative effects of the global economic recession on the people of Zambia.
Contributing to the debate on estimates of revenue and expenditure for 2009 in parliament today, Mr. Mpombo said this year’s national budget gives hope and direction for the Zambian economy as it spells out measures of countering the economic crisis.
Mr. Mpombo urged the MPs and other key stakeholders to support government in implementing the budget, adding that that the economic crisis has not spared even giant economies, hence appealed to stakeholders not to despair.
He said government has embarked on an economic diversification programme in an effort to shift dependance on mining to other sectors such as tourism and agriculture.
He said government through the Ministry of Finance and National Planning released over K100 billion to the agricultural sector for facilitating the livestock and Fertiliser Support Programme, FSP, to encourage small scale farmers to scale up production.

Good Mpombo
Well done Mpombo l-)
I am refering to the man “mpombo” here. Not that other fimo fimo. That other fimo fimo is bad. What The man Mpombo has said is good. Lets get it over with

Good mpombo after all thse mps dont even know how to debate sense
Mpombo has spoken sense for the first time!
goooood mpombo this time.
Baby C :d/
How are you? Am in the sweetest town in Zambia. Nakuwama kuno mwee. These Zimbabwean girls!! Koma they know, mwandi!!!!:-?
My server is letting me down !
I think Mpombo’s request is justified. Everyone else around the globe is acting swiftly to introduce short or long-term measures necessitated by the current downturn of the global economy.
If we don’t act quick enough aswell, we might find ourselves unable to face the challenges ahead.
Mpombo says political foodology and LT calls it bombastic language. :d This is a circus guys
Atleast mwalandako ifyamano ba Mpombo,now am assured of joining the Airforce <:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p

Mwashibukeni! Ala inkondo iyo na li imona. I arrived a few hrs after ceasefire, otherwise nga nali posa ko utuma missiles twandi naine.:d
18. Ba Dr Maureen
I was just watching!! It was just shameful mwandini!! I have a feeling fimo fimo will never learn!! Wait for a second round. It is wise to ignore him.
How come Mr Mpombo calls thoz who dnt support the budget as Political foodology?Kwena bu MP bulapenya mwe
20. Nine Chale
=))=))=))=)) ati Missiles? I see another gaza coming imwe mwe bana bakwa mwine Lubemba!!
How is he doing anyways? No info from LT about our <):)
I think Maestro is only bold enough to attack Bembas on the blog. Bushe nga twamumona in person, would he have the guts to say such things about us? [-x I doubt.
Elo kabili calinkalipa sana to see how he wants to paint a bad picture of Bembas in our neighbouring countries. Thats a very f..lish thing to do!
Can’t he see how he is tarnishing the image of the whole country? I have never heard any foreigner say that Tongas behave better than Bembas. They always generalise us as ZAMBIANS.
When will our brother Maestro ever realise this???~X(
Nine Chale. Alitudabwisha umu guyz ka

We have to defend Bemba integrity at all costs!l-)
Regarding Imfumu yesu Chitimukulu, I’m sure things are “stable”. I guess “no news is good news” in this case.
Our most reliable source of information Lusaka Times will surely keep us imformed! =d>
What is he suffering from. I hope he does not have many wives
Although what he is saying is true, I wonder where mpombo gets his words. The man keeps mutilating the Queens language. He seems to think that you can only communicate if you use big words or funny expressions, even where simple language will do. He is a clown indeed.
Maestrol has been suffering from lack of identity and recognition. I if balemupoka sana amagelo who knows.
He needs some serious counseling
Awe,Is it Ba real Moze or what?
Afternoon,Jam@co,Zoe,Nine Chale,Baby C,Dr Maureen,Luapula Fish and the rest.
As for Mpombo,I think he is not a factor so let him just keep quiet because there is nothing new in this year’s budget.
Hi Rashid, welcome bro. :)>-
Ba Mpombo mwakambako va nzelu manje. =d>=d>
Rashid Jones
How are my dear
Maestrol as brought some fresh trible fighting on Lt
Its not necessary to engage him but important to recognise his pain and frustrations of feeling undermined.
:d:d:d:d:d:-?:-?

Maestro(Hamusankwa) drives into a service station on great north road(impala service station) in his battered skyline,clad in shorts’north star,potato cut and I love New York cap. He hands the attendant the keys complete with a beaultiful Tupac key ring.
Hamusankwa: “Kozuzya unleaded petrol!”
Attendant: “How much?”
Hamusankwa: “Ndaamba kuti kozuzya”
Attendant: “I only speak English!”
Hamusankwa: “I am sorry sir. What I am saying is that I currently feel a profound desire to replenish the propellant of my motorized vehicle. Therefore, I cordially request you to transfer,from your subterranean reservoir, a sufficient quantity of the combustible fluid of the highest octane rating to fill
How many times will the zambian government embark on a economic diversification programme from mining? This country lacks serious leaders
Can someone, anybody please shave Mpombo’s beards…Finally the man is now capable of talking something weath well.

the appropriate receptacle of the said means of perambulation to the brim.”
Attendant: “eh?”
Hamusankwa” ” Do you have a problem Sir? I thought you said you spoke English?”
Attendant: “English? That is not English!’
Hamusankwa: ” My dear Sir, are you veritably attempting to insinuate that you do not even recognise the language, which you allege to be your singular means of communication?”
Attendant: “Eh?,Shumfwile Mwandi!!!!!!
G BABY
how are you today?
Luapula fish
Forgive Maestrol, he is going mad because of education. Too much of everything is bad.
lets wait and see :d/
Rashid Jones
Thats a good one (Tupac Key ring)
I have aready forgiven Maestrol,its up him to prove is not a tribal person.
:d/:d/:”> George the Impala is still in the game, hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm he even knows bombastic words, eeeeeeeeeeeh FOODOLOGY

Imagine fellow ladies. we share our birthday with one Rupno b-). shhh. its RB’s brithday. feel like puking!
Oh Okay!
For how long will George Mpombo be in power.When are these chaps going to make a lee way for fresh brains??!!
Young ones are lazy, too much chizungu for nothing, so Mpombo stays!
Parley should not be rushed into approving the budget until the issue of funding social sectors such as roads has been resolved. By the way, it is time we stopped clustering roads into the social sector. Roads are an important part of the economic sector that cannot be ignored. Without a good road network, the economy suffers. I am talking about transportation of people and goods (agricultural,mining, and so on). Civil society must petition govt on this matter.
#35/38 Rashid Jones that is a nice one, you have cracked my jaws :)):)):))
Someone tells that probably the reason Mpombo has such big words is coz wherever he is, Alakwata akabuku to read something
Rashid
am ok man,how are you doing?
just interesting to know that **==s are now able to stand for the truth and bring culprits to book.Dora is in for it.
Wait a minute guys, Mpombo is not capable like many other mps or ministers of say something right. He meant to say the same words Obama has been teling congress. So ba Mpombo just read that statement and added “nonsense”. What he said was an obvious thing except that he lied again at the end. Zambia is really axegerating this economic crisis. This thing called Zambia is a small country just like any others in the region. However, it is only the Kwacha that has devalued to the extreem. Others currencies are relatively stable. This shows that, these guys dont actially know that crooks are using the crisis as pretxt (Speculation Volatility)to externalising money and money??? scare invester?
what budget? the idea of having a budget is to plan your spending according to allocations, but when you spend like f.ools its a waste of time debating that peice of c.rap. you are already spending , so keep on spending!!!
ok
=d>=d>
George is the best Minister in Zambia at this moment. He knows his work and how Gov’t should run. All the best my name sake. You are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-j:-j

There is nothing wrong in bringing in some humour into parliament.. Same applies to the blogg ,
we need humour in here too.. just helps to make the day.. :d:d
political foodology =political nonsense this does not makes sense ,its important to pass the budget however but its folly for Mpombo to be using non existing archaic words.
# 35 & 38 Rashid, that was something :((. Thats why the MPs enjoys Mpombo, he always starts with ” I am very sansamucated to see cinkumpitiality of MPs…” Then he goes on with his Political foodology
Anything from Mpombo scares and annoys me!!!!
# 35, Rashid, thats good humour and apparently your humour reveals a great deal of imagination in you. You could do well doing some write up of say a book on say “The Cultural Dispositions of Zambians from the South and the North” Once again, great imagination and write up, keep on dreaming. As for the Gazelle above, I have nothing except to say that the speech is too good to come from him. He regurgitated it and then missed the description of those who opposed the budget. He should have said ” those who are opposing it are political opponents whose ideologies take an upper hand in trying to score points for the 2011 general elections” rather than they are political nonsense.
A Night without LT!!8->
