My administration is in a hurry to fight poverty-RB

Share

President Rupiah Banda has said his administration is in a hurry to fight poverty in the country in rural communities through reducing and eliminating livestock stock diseases which have threatened thousands of animals in the Zambia.

Mr Banda said rural communities in Zambia depend heavily on livestock as a source of income and means of labor for their livelihood hence the need to fight livestock diseases in the country.

He said this during a visit to a research institute for animal vaccines and production of medicine for malaria and other tropical diseases.

President Banda said Zambian students studying science subjects in Cuba should be attached at Labiofam and ensure that they quickly grasp the technology of manufacturing vaccines and production of medicine before a formal planned training starts between Zambia and Cuba.

And earlier, Labiofam President Jorge Fraga Castro said the institute began producing pharmaceutical and biological commodities in order to improve the quality of animal health in that country.

Mr Castro said the company does not use chemical insecticide but biological methods which are environmentally friendly.

He said the institute has already signed an agreement with the Zambian government on starting malaria programmes in Zambia.

  1. yeah right bog nose. you’re busy chopping some woman by the name of DORA SILIYA and paying her off by a wardrobe from Italy. Yes big nose! YOU’VE BEEN BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. What have you done to fight poverty in the rural community? All you do is Fly in and out of Zambia. Ku rural sikuyenda ndeke hence you don’t go there. 2011 is very near, wina azalila.

  3. Ngana wikuta umona ati bonse efyo baleumfwa. We should ensure that these Presidents go back to there original towns/vilaages/farms and no pension.

  4. How can you successfully fight poverty when you condone corruption. Corruption takes the little away from the poor. FTJ swindled millions from the poor and is in part the reason for poverty. But your administration has found it prudent to gloss over the scandals of FTJ’s rule.
    Lie to the foreigners as hard as you can however back home your words are but an empty shell. We know where you stand and it has nothing to do with hurriedly eliminating poverty.

  5. Boza niloipa. In a hurry to fight poverty? We are not fools. If you are in a hurry then set 2010 December as the deadline for the end of poverty in Z. Otherwise these are just political rantings that are annoying us

  6. WOW!!!

    one of the first this decade… will wait and see how poverty will be tackled by your govt this time around..
    dont just yap without any feasible and tangible results forth-coming…..

  7. # 1 is Kanitundila really chopping Dora? Yaba buti Dora was looking good back in the day not these days…she looks clapped man, damn!

  8. I guess they are feeling the heat. What have they done in the almost last 365 days that can used as a baseline for future performance. Every one of the 365 days need to be accounted for since the last election.

  9. ,Sorry meant I guess they are feeling the heat. What have they done in the last 365 days that can be used as a baseline for future performance. Every one of the 365 days need to be accounted for since the last election. with specific performance indicators.
