kaleya kwati ni sata
IGILASSI BA JOHN PHIRI, NI DON!! FUMAKO BA BOMBEKO..
If you are not pleased with President Lungu, go to Almighty God and
lodge in your complaint because it is Him Who has allowed EL to rule
this blessed nation.
We will see if you will come back smiling.The best is to accept God`s
will rather than burning with hatred.
Please have time for Bible, not daily ZWD.
Dr John Phiri confuses me for Daniel Munkombwe. The two men look alike. I almost said, “what is Munkombwe doing at the airport as he has been fired?”.
Go well Mr. President. Please remember there are no drugs in the clinics and your Minister of Health says it Artificial. These shortages and lack of funding for months on end have been ongoing for 3 years under the watch of Hon. Kasonde. Kindly consider wholesale changes in Leadership in the Ministry of Health as the Minister lacks the decesiveness and know how needed to fix the problems at MoH.
Seriously we have gone back to the UNIP days where the whole cabinet went to see KK off when he traveled. The only difference is that there are no school children lining the roads.
We should learn to calculate lost working time in terms of money. The cost of fuel used by the party to and from the airport.and hey they are not using Vitz which are cheap to run. They are using guzzlers. Please stop this toing and froing and do some work.

Let them go and study Romans 13. “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.”

There must be leadership that has passion for the humans.

Ifintu ni Lungu.. kamwendo munjila reloaded
No wonder Zambia will never develop with these kind of leaders. Why can’t they say buy to Lungu at State house instead of them rushing to the airport? They were at the airport every time Lungu went out and came back. Why are they not working? We need a leader who will stop this nonsense of going to the airport to see the president off and back
Say ‘Bye’ to Lungu not buy!
Good, go and build our image. Something we never though we would regain.
On another note, Does anyone know whether Nkandu Luo has officially accepted of rejected her appointment?.
who acts as minister of defence in your absent bwana vodka ? Crisis.
It the Her Right Honour Mama Inonge Wina.
WHO ACTED LAST TIME WHEN HE WAS IN ANGOLA BEFORE THE LATE LEFT FOR UK? ANSWER THAT THEN I WILL ANSWER YOU.
All those ministers and the entire service chiefs….and when he is coming back..same thing again….wow wow wow
Just how much money is spent to see the President off? and what about UTH..still no meds
This bane is international protocol…
Railways
Africa’s network of railways was started in 1852 in Alexandria, Egypt and continued until the 1960’s. Most of the main lines were completed by the 1920’s. They were hugely expensive to build, both in terms of lives lost and financial cost. Most of them were government owned and run.
WHY THE RAILWAY NETWORK WAS BUILT
The reasons for embarking on these great railway projects were varied:
TRADE
Abbas I, the Egyptian ruler, masterminded the first railway on the continent in the mid 1850’s. He was driven by a desire to bring Egypt in line with Europe (the first train ran in Britain in 1825). He also wanted to use the trains to stimulate trade.
Emperor Menelik of Ethiopia had similar motivation. While in Egypt the railways carried goods which were already being…
Kabwili is just too ugly please president Lungu spare us from us things we have better things to look at.
I see the Post are crying about Mutembo Nchito.
It looks like it pains them to be treated the way they treat others.
Rupiah was denied travel for no reason. Can you imagine that. They label others corrupt. What about the money they owe us through DBZ?. Can you imagine if Rupiah owed DBZ, the way Mutembo would inconvenience him (RB). I personally think that Lungu is wasting time by keeping Nchito as DPP. Just fire him so that he feels the pain of being made redundant for no reason. The longer he keeps the DPP, the more he weakens himself because the cartel are surely not up to good. Rupiah is being persecuted for a deal which never took place. But Nchito wants freedom yet he undeniably owes us.
The cartel overestimate their influence and importance.
On getting rid of Mmembe and his cartel, the country including PF, MMD and UPND except the BID Rainbow party are unanimous on this one. Mmembe has been a stone in our shoes for a long time. But he is realizing that his time is running out. If you do an opinion poll today 7 out 10 people say Mmembe is a crook and a hate machine. That command he had is gone. Look at the hips of the Post lying not sold nowadays. This is why he increased from K3 to K4 now K5 in so short a space of time. He wants to get the same quantum with sells dropping.
So do worry, the tide has changed. Even the courts want him fixed.
Edger 747……………. He likes flying…5 trips in a short time…
we r in trouble!
just a waste of taxpayers money.
IT IS NOT A WASTE, THIS IS ONE REASON WHY WE PAY TAX. BETTER TRAVEL FOR NATIONAL IMAGE THAN POCKET IT
Surely all those minister. Just wasting fuel.
IS DRIVING A CAR FROM STATE HOUSE TO AIRPORT WASTING FUEL? I THOUGHT FUEL WAS MEANT FOR USE IN VEHICLES, IT WOULD BE A WASTE IF USED OTHERWISE..E.G SETTING IT ON FIRE. BUT THIS? THIS IS WHAT IT WAS MEANT FOR. MAYBE YOU JUST DON’T HAVE A CAR..IF SO THEN SHUT UP. FUEL IS NOW CHEAP!!! WHY NOT?
WASTING FUEL AND GOVT RESOURCES FOR SURE,,,BUT DONT SAY THAT TO PF CADRES….FOR THEM “IFINTU NI LUNGU”. MARKETS ARE STILL FULL OF GARBAGE AND NON WORKING TOILETS…..UTH NO MEDICATION,,,,
Kambwili is like a HIPPO ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
james, that time when he was in angola(edger) before the late presedent left for uk no one acted in his place simply because the presedent was in the country but in this case it is him (presedent) who is out of the country.
Edgar Lungu was Minister of Home Affairs under Sata’s administration when Henry Banda was declared a wanted person and for 3 years he was holed-up in SA.
For the past couple of weeks reports have appeared indicating that Henry has secretly returned to Zambia even attending meetings with Edgar Lungu. What is surprising is that the President has so far made no effort to clarify (confirm or deny) the reports. We aware though that the President’s hands are tied and that the country is being run by his 3 Guru’s, RB, KK & Mugabe. The Henry issue is very serious and cannot be trivialised. Mr President, simply tell the nation the truth and all will be well. Stop creating more and more complications for yourself and be in charge.
Useless and aimless trips,
Rupiah Banda’s legacy is really working in President Lungu. The drunkard has buried the legacy of Micheal Sata and embraced that of Nyamasoya.
Michheal Sata was not used to galavanting; this was the legacy of Rupiah Banda which he has now transmitted into the humble but dull Kachasu Man.
Surely, how do you spend 10 days in Mfuwe just be baptized in the Poor Legacy of Nyamasoya the Tourist. I have now accepted, the Kachasu Man has no vision of his own.
Lungu will soon prove to be the most useless President Zambia has ever had.

We have a few pictures here ….at least one of them should show First Lady Esther Lungu.
I feel their is some apathy towards her by LT! There is only one acceptable reason for this ..could. E to allow His Excellency to establish a strong image first. However, First Lady is also a patriotic republican role in itself.
She should be also have a media image. Perhaps her media team can start breaking her in too.

That oil pipeline to Angola shall not build itself. First the ties between Angola have to be rebuilt. Then the Chinese work horse machine has to be employed. If let to Angolan and Zambian contractors, that oil pipeline shall take longer than the Muchingi Zambia Malawi line took.
