  GBM will be taught a lesson that money is not every thing. The man is so arrogant like his new boss as if they feed Zambia. Time has come for him to account for his stupidity ulubemba telwakubelesha. GBM started behaving funny along time ago but for every thing there is always an end. GBM can run but he can not hide. He thinks he is popular in Kasama forgetting that it is PF which is popular. THIS IS THE TIME TO CHEW HIS MONEY because knowing his dullness he will spend heavily but at the end of the day lose like he lost in Kabwata.

  That’s the only comments you can make on our President honestly as a mature person.I think our expression or freedom of speech is becoming unruly.

  Now you are feeling the heat of ECL just be prepared for another loss.

  @Lwengo it is your PF feeling the heat of GBM and UPND. Why he didn’t bother going to Samfya for campaign? His friend Mutharika from Malawi is visiting but Edgar decide not to care about him, but follow GBM.

  If you have never been a leader of a community you will not understand the value of grassroots contact and experience.
  
  This is where visions are born, shaped and implemented.

Is the President obliged to attend every traditional ceremony?
- Lwengo July 30, 2015 At 2:14 pm
  
  The President is only invited not opposition party leaders like HH who go uninvited .

Easterners are fond of travel, remember “Vasco da Banda”
They seem to mistake roaming from place to place for actual work.
Some one give the president a job description please, also teach him how to set priorities and how to save national resources.
God help Us!

Another excuse to get out of the office by the lazy bum Edgar!!

Under EL we have a new description of hard working and that is roaming
WAZA July 30, 2015 At 5:06 pm

Here is a job description for ECL:

1. Hold press conference once every month and
2. Always fire one minister per month for corruption and incompetence!

When does this man actually work? Sunday Chanda recently told us that the man does not lose his sleep.
So if he is not visiting some place (in his own words trying to be a good neighbour; aba bemba mulanda ati shani, ati kupula kwabene) he is sleeping.
When does he do some real work. No wonder Chishimba Kambwili & his colleagues are running the show. State house has an absentee landlord.

  Who tells you that working is sitting in a chair at State House?

Lazy foolish selfish bum, God save us coz corrupt zambians will still vote for this useless Marco polo. Before any of you corrupt fools ans tell me one thing good this man has done.
