Matenda mu nga bise, malilo yeve simu nga bise…
Improve your health facilities and die there. What is wrong kansi you Zambians!?
Please hold on the elections until the next general election
@?Choma Maanu wait till October 2016 si patali apo baba?
@ Bemba Bull
Iyo khani…..
MHSRIP. For sure let these MPh think of improving health facilities here at home
Does anyone here know of any Zambian who wet to India for treatment and lived to tell about it? I only ask because people seem to drop like flies when they go there.
Yes sir, there is one Dr Katele Kalumba
YOU PEOPLE ARE YOU STILL TAKING SICK PEOPLE ABROAD AND OVERSEAS? WHEN ARE ZAMBIAN HOSPITALS BE FOR TREATING THE SICK AND NOT TRANSIT LODGES FOR THE GRAVE IF EVER OUR HOSPITALS WILL TURN INTO TREATMENT CENTRES? CAN’T OUR GOVERNMENTS BE ASHAMED OF THIS SAME STUP!D HABIT OF SENDING THEIR SICK TO GO AND DIE ELSEWHERE?
NOW THAT XENOPHOBES ARE BUTCHERING YOU, YOU HAVE STARTING SHIPPING YOUR SICK OVER THE INDIAN OCEANS. YOU MEAN THERE IS NO ONE CAPABLE OF REASON TO SAY THESE MONIES PUT TOGETHER COULD HAVE BUILT 10 SUPER-HOSPITALS? IS THIS ALSO ROCKET-SCIENCE FOR OUR GOVERNMENT?
For your own information, medical tourists are not only from Zambia. Even people in the first world do go to other countries for specialist treatments.
But this is not to say all is well pa Zed. Medical facilities need to be improved maningi.
But who told you that the GRZ sent him there? Suppose he used his own money to go there,is that your problem? All you think of is GRZ that, GRZ that. This is a straight forward article and yet you misinterpret.MHSRP.
@Peter No need to use upper case letters to drive your point sir. Even in lower case we can get what you are trying so much to say>:
So bad for the MP family ,my condolences to the family, my his soul rest in eternal peace.
Very few Zambian Politicians especially those from the ruling party die at home,most of them die abroad.
It is because they don’t trust zambian doctors who are qualified enough but working with adq equipment or medicine. Only KK trusted his medical doctors ..
The government will only be serious with putting up proper health facilities once their own start dying from within the country. There must be a deliberate move to put a law restricting leaders from being sponsored for treatment outside the country so that government will apply itself. In the mean time there is quite a lot of rhetoric patainng these facilities- they are more less campaign gimics. May the Saul Of the Departed Rest IN enternal Peace.
May HSRIP!!as long as you were PF MP then you were our hero!!!RIP bwana MP!!but its once more a chance for tribal UPND or any opposition to prove that Luapula is PF’s bedroom as PF will 100% retain this seat!!
Ifyabupuba napacililo, bu PF cadre my foot!

Indeed you achieved your desires, soft spoken all the way but firm… I dearly remember those wonderful days we had together as young graduates … Chibote days gone….. Bawishi. sleep well. Still we meet again on the other side…. It was a journey well spent. MHSIP.

@all bloggers,
What if Zambians living abroad attend UTH and other local facilities in Zambia when they are acutely ill instead of remaining in those foreign countries!
I am sure that would be a boost to our country and go a long way …
On a serious note, may the soul of Chifita rest in eternal peace. I knew him from Unza in the 80’s and we used to call him abena ‘Blackie’.
