    • Mr Lungu, when are you firing Davies Chama. When will Zesco stop the load shedding? What arrangements do you have for Mr. Sata’s widow, Dr.Kaseba. And when will that old man Chikwanda stop borrowing? Lastly, why did the kwacha depreciate so much since you become president?

    • Since when did campaigning earn classification under “government business?” Anyway since he is the president even party matters are government business because funding comes not from the party but coffers of the tax payers!

      The message he is carrying is to instruct voters to elect PF party candidates on June 30 and further lie that if they do, he will ensure direct development comes to Petauke Central and Malambo directly from state house. If only the story behind the recently published pictures of these constituencies could help open the constituents on their perpetual plight, they would perhaps have a rethink of the disservice they have been committing to themselves.

  1. Chama con not be fire for telling the truth ,chama what he said is true.those who are agreaved can go to hell

    • Even me I wonder. Why people take the truth with a pinch of salt. When pilato says the truth, people drag him to court! Shame

  2. This is a hard working president!!while tribal HH travel empty handed,ECL is first meeting all chiefs to know what their subjects want them address rallies!!the opposition stand little chance of defeating this smart PF leader!!on 30/06/2015 by elections,i see PF recording 3-0 or 2-1!!PF wont get worse results than a 2-1 score!!GO PF GO!!

    • Meeting chiefs “Ndine mwana wanu, napapata lekani ndewo pali mweka! Vonse tizakasova kusogolo ngati mwanibweza pamupando mu 2016!”

  3. This is what happens when we elect vision-less empty tins even when elected into State House all they think of is the next by-election campaign…5-10-15-20-30 year national strategic planning is foreign language to them.

    This lazy bum Edgar will do everything to get out of his office…he is more interested in allowances than hosting a press conference. We told you than this bum lacks work ethic but no more listened.

  4. Mr. Presido,

    Please give us Katete Msoro road. This will open up the virgin land in Msoro for agriculture. No road, no development.

  5. haha eddy yo have wkn up I challaenged you the other day and you went mute like your president who is dividing the country through not taking action on chamas divisive statements against the general citizenly.i challenge you again today.if chagwa is not dead scared of losing the 2016 elections why is he skirming to delay the 2016 elections?
