He is expected to meet party members at all levels. He will also receive reports on the harmonisation and extent of integrating structures from the MMD.

PF is in Campaign mood all the way to 2016!!!! I don’t expect much developmental issues with the ECL team apart from eating and swallowing wholly the MMD carcass.
What is wrong with AG Chambers to necessitate “personal” assistant to the President?
Another parasite to “chew” tax-payers money?
No this is a necessary evil he facilitates legal issues with the AG as number one doesn’t have the time its better than Sata who shot from the hip….
What is wrong with AG Chambers? Did you not see their preliminary submissions at the tribunal? Mutembo made them look like kids! That is what is wrong with AG’s chambers. Their is are heightened levels of “incompetence or malice or both..”!
@ mando
And what Hon. Minister of Justice will do now? Retired? Abolished?
@ WS
If I understand you correctly, AG and SG are sort of “learned” incompetent/malicious quacks? If so, why not terminate theirs appointments?
PF is growing in Western province and UPND will lose at least 30% voter support in 2016.
hh is in for 5=0 beating in 2016.
Replace hh with someone who can stand this onslaught leashed in WP
Wapya munzi 2016 EL Chabe
yes talk about rigging – how about just respecting the citizens and go for fair elections?
Is the appointed among the 30% that are corrupt or is the APPOINTING AUTHORITY the corrupt one. Save us from these stupe stats. Just get on with it.
@skeleton (masapo abulozi) na kutwa fo!. … And this lungu of theirs, political party appointments are not national bussines therefore announce to your party members not the nation.
It makes sense for LUNGU to rearrange the structures in various regions, becaus the catch phrase here is never import leaders, but have the same people made leaders within the region, then you have got the answer. The idea of getting people from other regions and impose them on the local communities usually create anarch. Lungu will also do well by going into the Tonga land and then have leadership selected from within the Tonga land, there he will not have made any mistake, and I encourage all the other parties to do the same. This way you are actually empowering the locals.
