President Edgar Lungu says Government is eager to develop communities in the countryside so as to foster development in rural areas.

President Lungu says this will be done through creating linkages between villages and districts. This link between villages and districts will be done through construction of road infrastructure, schools and hospitals.

He said this after touring developmental projects in Nangoma constituency of Mumbwa district in Central province on Wednesday.

President Lungu has also donated 60 computers to Myooye Primary School in Nangoma constituency to enable pupils be equipped with Information Communication Technology skills.

And President Lungu has assured Chief Shakumbila of the Ila people of Mumbwa district that Government will work on the road from Mumbwa to Nangoma which is in bad state.

He said the road will be upgraded to bituminous standard this year.
The Head of State said the road was important for both transportation and providing access to natural resources such as the Blue Lagoon National Park which promotes tourism.

President Lungu said this when he paid a courtesy call on senior Chief Shakumbila at his palace.

Welcoming the Head of State, the Chief advised his subjects in the district to desist from engaging in violence during campaigns ahead of the August 11, 2016 general elections.

The traditional leader has warned that he will not tolerate any one found engaging in violence in his chiefdom.

He has since advised that it was important for citizens to respect the incumbent President and his government in order for development to be realised in the area.

President Lungu is in Mumbwa district in Central Province to inspect developmental projects.

  1. Your time is up sir. And no trick even about your PF forged papers of the the so called GBM certificate from Zim will not save you. Your time to go has come sir. Bye bye.

    • President is putting up a sontable. Whether he goes or not sontables will always be there to show that he was president. What about you? What sontable do you have. Mind you HH will only make his name only as having been president and your name will never be known anywhere. So what’s the point trying to elevate someone who does not even know you.

    • I will tell you exactly what it is.
      HH and GBM must campaign sleeplessly in order for them to come 2nd in elections.
      Lungu does not need to campaign to come 1st in these elections
      His work is campaigning for him everyday
      That is why he busy playing and chilling up with pupils
      What a privilege anyone would love to have.

    • Chakolwa Chagwa cannot develop rural areas. He is a President for bakaponya. Rural areas are where the bakachema he hates so much live. He does not even know where the steaks giving him a potbelly and funny cheeks are coming from.

  3. Have people thought carefully about GBM being running mate? If the impossible was to happen that HH won the presidential elections and but act of God ( or acts of GBM) HH was to die. It means GBM becomes republican president. Then it will mean among other evils, all government contracts will be single sourced to GBMs companies. Just because of a bemba vote, HH has sold his party to a real Kaponya

  4. This Nigga was really sick,just look at the first pic-amatobo?And i guarantee his is yet to get really sick knowing his very very poor health very well.Wait for another big collapse just before we reach August when more and more signs of him loosing review.I see us going into these Elections with the incumbent president no where to be seen,because he ll be too sick by then to be seen in public.We will be lucky if he wont die from heart attacks.But definitely this Nigga doesnt seem to be making it past August 11.Watch how he ll disappear from here in Mumbwa from the public,He is on his way out,dont be fooled,Mumbwa has got a private military base.Because what agenda is he there for in mumbwa?Just to donate 60 computers?or to pump dirty well water from that village pump donated by the NGOs?

  5. The opposition are confused about the campaign strategy of ECL. they really have to work extra hard for them especially upnd to even get 30% of this year’s elections. H E ECL has already done his homework and the rest is history.

  6. Confuse them ECL, let them be in suspense, By next week as we go flat out on provincial campaigns, umbi aka yikulika. Sonta

  7. Hahahaha! look at this monkey by the name Mighty Shansha.How long shd we be educating you that Lungu and Strategy are enemies.This nigga dont know what a strategy is,he cant plan,he cant think,he cant solve problems,he cant learn,Lungu is unteachable and unfortunately enough,Strategy requires you to ve all these characteristics i ve just mentioned to you Shansha.I hope you ve learned something this time,okey?

  8. Guys,
    I volunteered my mining experience/expertise to HH, to add a professional touch to mining in his campaign.
    I’ve worked on 4 continents, over a period of 40 years. 16 of those were in Zambia, when we underwent commodity cycles, as at present.
    HH bluntly, and arrogantly, refused my gesture.
    I CAN SEE PRESIDENT LUNGU WINNING WITH A COMMANDING MAJORITY…Rightly, and deservedly, so!

  9. Please people listen to this Chakolwa,there are no signs of improvement to the economy under his leadership.

  10. Its either Lungu /LT is misleading people here ,there is No road from mumbwa to Nangoma as claimed here,its the same lusaka-mongu road which passes pa Nangoma hospital.this road was tarred long time ago by kk.the whole road from mwebeshi to mongu need to be resurfaced and Not upgraded as stated by Lungu.

    • Really laughable donating 60 computers from their own money when he has lamentably failed to do it via policy through Ministry Of Education.
