President Edgar Lungu says under the new constitution, government and the President have no power to de-gazette or gazette any chief.

He also says the new constitution has given power to traditional leaders to amicably handle issues of traditional boundaries.

President Lungu was speaking in Namwala District, Southern Province when he met senior Chief Bright Nalubamba, Chief Mungaila, Chief Muchila and Chief Mukobela at Namwala’s corner point lodge.

The President is in Namwala to check on various developmental projects.

The President and his entourage arrived in Namwala shortly after 11 hrs.

And Chief Mukobela thanked the President for his visit and said the people of Namwala are happy to be visited at the district level.

He said President Lungu’s visit will spur development in the area.

The chief also said the people of Namwala are happy with governments interventions in the Livestock sector which has led to the eradication of foot and mouth disease.

  1. Thankyou for the Namwala visit.We are humbled to be amongst those that you are saying goodbye to.Thankyou sir and we wish you well in your future endeavours.

    • Cowboy (HH) can’t win an election in Zambia! Only myopic foo1s can vote for the satamist. Say good bye to him (HH) coward boy.

    • @Kudos: ECL is the Republican President and he can visit any part of the country anytime he so wishes. HH is an ordinary citizen like you and me, how does he come in the picture?
      Remember, no condition is permanent, prior to 2011, those of us who prefer to be neutral used to hear MMD shouting on rooftops that “Sata can never rule Zambia”- The rest is history.
      The lesson is, just be sober, never hate innocent people because of difference in opinions/ tribe/ economic status etc; anyone in Zambia, including yourself, has equal opportunities of becoming the Republican President as long as you meet the Consitutional requirements.

    • Lol! I couldn’t help having a hearty laugh @ Mr Kudos that his ire, hate and, haste made his neurons transmit faster than he could coordinate his sight and fingers as he posted his comment! He posts “satamist” indeed his eyes must have been misted with anger that HH could be the incoming president thus only short sighted people could vote for the “mist” that Sata sprayed over the country because mist (PF) has evaporated!

  2. All indicators point to HH in state house on 11/8/16. The number of frustrated people incensed at Lungu’s clueless and violent way of governing a country is growing every second. PF won’t survive. They will join other dead parties that have no chance of resurrection, MMD and UNIP.

  3. I have no problem with people from other regions joining the tribal upnd. However my worry is where will they go if upnd decide to break away from Zambia after losing elections in August? We saw how they behaved last year when they lost with a small margin and I wonder what will happen to them because they are losing with a bigger margin .

  4. Please prepare Cardiologists for UPND cadres and their leaders in August 2016, after all they are fellow citizens deserving government medical attention too.
    Hospitals and health posts have already been built or are about to be completed in all corners of Zambia where UPND may be found.

  5. Sometimes I wonder who is clueless between a leader who has run the country and faced serious national challenges in real time and another who has never experienced governance or even run a ministry before even in theory?

    We stand agood chance of putting someone in office who will abandon all good things and spend the first five years learning, bungling and further destroying our economy in the process.

    • We don’t have to wait for August to see that! IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED!

      You have described very well Sata, Lungu and their PF contribution to Zambia.

      What could possibly be WORSE that giving these corrupt clueless clowns another five years?

  6. Pure Zambians will vote for HH and Upnd because I believe they love Zambian and will vote on merit not on tribe line because no one chose to be born in any tribe it was Gods choice only Satanist will continue talking about Satanism and tribe. No one will eat a tribe. Us Christians will vote on merit. Abash tribalism.

    • @Oscar:

      Where are you getting the idea that those who will choose not to vote for UPND/HH are not going to be base their vote on merit? And who in H.E.L.L are “pure Zambians”? You mean only HH @SS-L!CKERS like yourself? Give me a freaking break!!!!

      Only F00LS such as yourself believe that the “NEGA NEGA” fiasco we saw in the last elections was not tribal-voting. Yet you have some NERVE and B@LLS to insult the intelligence and independence of other citizens. But, hey, this how SHALLOW UPND cadres’ analytical abilities are—no surprises there!!!

    • @ Yambayamba

      Oscar is only traying to imitate various kudos, wise head, katondo 1mbeciles and similar. Unfortunately, 1mbecility is not exclusive to PF supporters and theirs leadership

  7. Aba nibakateka abalelanda waumfwa. If your a.s.s minds fyobe ifyo. I will soon announce the person I am about to endorse in May as ECL dissolves parley. I Thorn in the Flesh support the G.O.D (Government Of the Day), meanwhile Cheam Egad is on the wheel. Okay, when HH is yapping and blabbing in South Africa and the UK, what does he hope to achieve? Discrediting mother Zambia and the G.O.D. with enormous impunity. I am honestly having serious concerns about this leader. Okay meanwhile you have GBM, Lupando, Bob, Mutati, and other chaps. Keep ya campaigns in Zambia HH. Point is, I have never head SA’s opposition leaders discrediting SA leadership in Zambia or other country except in the Apartheid era. Who can tame this nigga kanshi?

  8. Now I have concluded that is the best candidate for now because no one is talking about his failure but the only thing they are talking about is Satanism and tribe. I will continue respecting Michael data mhsrp he told us that HH is like a calculator boy.think of calculator! Now pf is telling us he is a kachema. Even JESUS called himself a good kachema .

  9. Hi ! Happy Valentine pipo ! Pls as we debate on matters that rily concerns us let’s try to be objective and be sober mind than to be emotional . we need to help our politicians in the quest to develop our country than to critise even the good things that being implemented . for example where one calls the other to be an ***** . where is all this kind of thinking is coming from ? A Christian country ? Pls I believe that there is still room to change as we debate and resproket back to our fellow contributors so tht we can teach other were we re trailing behind . ” Thanx ‘
