President Edgar Lungu is tomorrow expected in Muchinga Province for a two-day official visit.

Muchinga Permanent Secretary Bright Nundwe disclosed this in an interview with the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) in Chinsali today.

Mr. Nundwe said President Lungu arrives in Muchinga tomorrow morning and will fly straight to Chama District where he is scheduled to commission newly constructed Chama District Hospital.

He said President Lungu during his last visit to Chama District gave an ultimatum of two months in which construction of the District Hospital should be completed and ready for commissioning.

The President is also expected to flag off the construction of the Chama-Muyombe-Lundazi Road and also officially open offices for the Department of National Parks and Wild Life in Chama District.

President Lungu will on the same day fly to Chinsali to inspect few developmental projects and flag off the construction of the Mbesuma Road at Mulilansolo.

On Saturday President Lungu will attend the Election sensitisation luncheon at Chinsali Girls Secondary School.

President Lungu is expected to return to Lusaka later in the afternoon on Saturday.

    • Continue flying from one perch to another until you find a new tenant at State House. August 11th 2016 taka kuwile ku state house akasuba!!

  1. WHY ALL THESE UNNECESSARY TRIPS?? NOT LONG AGO HE WAS THERE AND HE WANTS TO GO CAMPAIGNING AGAIN. WHERE IS THE NORTHERN PROVINCE MINISTER AND WHAT IS HE DOING? OR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT MINISTER? WHY DOES THE PRESIDENT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE DOING THIS WHEN HE SHOULD BE IN STATE HOUSE SORTING OUT REAL THINGS LIKE POWER AND ECONOMIC CRISIS

  2. President Edgar Lungu was just in Chama last week commissioning some projects and is going for same visit again wasting tax payers money. What a wasteful president we have in state house. Zambians lets teach him a lesson. Last year he carried 256 people including musicians like JK, Dandy Crazy, Mampi, General Kanene to USA for a boat cruise and over US$ 700, 000.00 was stolen from govt treasury as per zanaco transactions of Sep/Oct 2015. Zambians lets wake up and check countries which were far below Zambia 4 years are now better than us today because of wrong choice we made in 2011

  3. Is this president able to sit down and concentrate on deep thinking which can give direction to the nation? He is always travelling commissioning projects which can be commissioned by his provincial ministers.

  4. This is not development. it is wasting resources. Everyday the President is flying from this pint to another. Wish I had the language of Kambwili or Mumbi Phiri… I would have said a lot

  5. Imwe banthu how goes Lungus hunt for a female VP running mate? I would like to say that whoever advised Lungu to make that announcement early advised him wrongly. First what ever he does not find a good female candidate? To me Inonge does not cut it. She is old and she comes from a tribe that cannot Lungu win elections. additionally HH already has that tribe in his pockets. Lungu and HH will share the little votes from that tribe or province. And why should the VP post be restricted to women? Shouldnt the position be on merit? a VP needs to compliment a president especially when that president won the last election with less than 30000 Votes. To look to western province, Really!!!

  6. Mr President a word of advise DON’T START DISCUSSING THE DEFECTIONS OF SATA MULENGA AND OTHERS JUST IGNORE THEM. Even if you are asked by the journalist please keep your mouth shut. If you respond it will look as though you are shaken. These defections should be discussed or answered during campaigns.

  7. Then running mate clause is not health for zambian politics since it will be favouring the same people. And this goes to show their going to opposition as Lungu hasn’t given them chance after seeing they only think of leading others and do not want others to lead. Th clause is bad since running mate who may only be choosen for the sake of winning elections becomes vice president and later president if president leaves office in one way or the other. But these factors can work in some other elections in future. Lungu is winning august whichever running mate he chooses. He will win because of his belief in uniting the country on principles of one zambia one nation and avoiding people who think they can only be leaders bc of the ‘power’ of their tribe. He will win bc he is not shaken by…

  8. The current PF doesn’t believe in tribalism as people like Kambwili, Chama and Frank Bwalya are good examples of politicians who are not tribalists. It’s a PF that unites the country and that’s why they will win. They have worked hard and brought development to the whole country in a short period of time with challenges of copper prices and drought. It will be foolish if u don’t give another mandate to continue their good works and policies
