While the PF is busy campaigning for yet more bye elections and flying around the world at great expense we daily receive news from our brothers and sisters regarding important sectors that have either been promised but not delivered, or that have come to a grinding halt.
These are not just any sectors, but those that are instrumental for progress. Sectors which would improve the lives of many Zambians, open up opportunities and help move the country grow.
In recent weeks the impasse at the University of Zambia has continued with no end in sight affecting the reopening of the institution and critical departments such as the School of Medicine.
UNZA teaching staff are currently withholding students’ results over outstanding payments such as gratuities and other allowances.
This is once again a clear case of misplaced priorities by our colleagues in leadership who value lavishly spending in bye elections more than critical areas such as health and education.
Is it not pure hypocrisy that President Edgar Lungu was busy opening Kalumbila District Hospital in Solwezi as an election gimmick while the UNZA School of Medicine that should provide doctors and medical personal is among those that is currently affected with delays in opening?
The School was scheduled to open on 31st August but remains closed together with other departments at the highest training institution, and the PF Government is inspiring little confidence that it is addressing the delay.
We are calling on the PF Government to give an immediate update on the UNZA impasse and an explanation for delays in sorting out the problems affecting the institution, rather than intimidating and threatening the teaching staff with dismissals.
The arrogance of the PF Government is shown in the way they fail to solve even the seemingly small issues, but expect the Zambian people to trust them in handling bigger issues such as crippling power deficit leading to job losses in mining and other sectors due to poor management of the economic crisis.
It they can fail to deal with such simple projects as a School of Medicine, then it is no surprise that they have failed to manage much bigger tasks such as addressing the weakening of the Kwacha.
They are clearly not up to the job. And, as our supporters are saying, it shows the PF is interested in power and not service.

Comment: If you are to be honest, would you have paid the lecturers all the outstanding areas if you were in state house Mr. H-H?
Kabu, yes HH would have paid the money to lecturers. Why buy 157 4×4 cars for DCs when your lecturers are not paid? Why maintain the largest cabinet in the world when lecturers are not paid? why induce more than 30 by elections since 2011 when lecturers have not been paid. Edgar and his PF have their priorities wrong. Period!
HH is FAKE and a hypocrite. He has failed to build a model village in his Monze

After months of denials and sidestepping on accusations of his conduct during the 1990s privatisation process, newly released documentation shows that presidential contender Hakainde Hichilema illegally benefited from his position by acquiring shares in Sun International Ltd. months before the company was awarded the tender, and failed to declare interest in a number of companies he owns along with key officials involved in the privatisation process.
In the attached matrix (download here), which includes official copies of documentation from the…
Well said Mr President!
Kambwili says, the only solution to our Zambian problems is JUSUS! Really, really? I have never in my whole life seen or heard something this stupid. Since when did JESUS solve pipo’s problems let alone a country? Where in the world and when?
The best Kambwili can do is to leave POLITICS to useful Politicians; pipo who understand what to, when to and what to do in a crisis like the one we are facing in Zambia. Kambwili please, leave JESUS out of your idiosyncrasies….
But I have learnt with sadness that the Bursaries committee is running a programme with Horizon School to take the students to study in Turkey by using the much needed resource to pay allowances and air tickets for these students who are merely taken there to join a terrorist movement …..”Gulen Movement” which is fighting the Turkish government so as to take over the leadership in Turkey. The government together with the Turkish embassy must clarify this issue to save the lives of our children who are going to Turkey to join this cartel. This info is easy to verify through the Turkish embassy here in Lusaka. You can also Goggle” Gulen Charter Schools” for you to understand this secret movement whose leader Gulen is in exile in America away from his home country of Turkey because…
Na balanda bakateka ba HH.
I LIKE THIS MAN ,TRUE THINKING.
@ Kabu, what *****ic question is this? If there is something you can credit the UPND for, it is their constant reference to free education up to tertiary level, meaning this sector is among their top priorities. Please try even a little bit to follow what other parties are saying apart from your disorganised PF. Is this very difficult to achieve?
The problem with UPND cadres is that you don’t see anything wrong with HH. Well I cant wait to see what you will say and be after 2016 elections
