President Edgar Lungu has reiterated that he will not abandon the vision and legacy of late President, Michael Sata.
President Lungu says he will finish and implement the developmental projects in the country.
He was speaking at a public rally in Mpulungu distrct, Northern Province.
President Lungu assured the people of Mpulungu that he will finish and start new developmental projects if he remained in office beyond August 11, this year.
He appealed to the people of Mpulungu to vote for him and his entire aspiring candidates.
President Lungu, introduced PF Mpulungu aspiring MP, Freedom Sikazwe, and ten councillors to the Mpulungu electorates and urged them to vote for him and his contenders.
Mr Lungu said Mpulungu has equally received its share from the national cake in terms of developmental projects.
He said he is the right person for the people of Zambia should vote for.
President Lungu was accompanied to Northern Province by former Vice President, Enock Kavindele, his special aide, Amos Chanda his campaign manager, Samuel Mukupa and other senior PF Members of the Central Committee as well as senior government officials.
Ok, you all always say I do not have a vision for Zambians, here it is …..Sata `s vision !! Vote for me based on Sata vision. That`s it.
Esther standing by her man! It’s not where you come from that matters, it’s what you do with your life!
What vision is Edgar talking about? Edgar never even had lunch with Sata.
The only one who knows Sata’s vision is Guy Scott and Kabimba knows little bit.
Continue with borrowing colossal amounts of money? Appointing the FBI ( friends bululus and inlaws ) to key posts being a sorn tribalist whilst pretending to balance brains when in fact he never had one? Moving southern province capital to choma for no logical reason creating a new province? Alienation of the country through
Undeplomatic behaviour? Ignoring corruption? Championing the 90 days illusions? Is this what you want to follow?
Be your own man and show us you can turn around the country! Sata’s nonsense must remain at embassy park. For a start restrain your cadres!
@1.3 james buga
matole yakwa wiso, leave ba SATA out of your filthy laced jealousy of what he achieved in life which ka wiso(father) will never achieve, kolwe iwe galu ya muntu. wonder what your mother used for birthing a dog like you.
FRANKLY, SPEAKING ABANDONING MICHAEL SATA’S INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT VISION CAN AND WILL FRUSTRATE AND DERAIL ANY INTENTIONS OF DEVELOPMENT. PEOPLE MUST NOT BE CHEATED THAT UPND HAS ANY BETTER PLANS THAN MICHAEL SATA AND PF’S PLANS OF DEVELOPING THE INFRASTRUCTURE FIRST BEFORE THE SUPER-STRUCTURES. ROADS, RAIL LINES AIR TRANSPORT AND WATER FIRST TO TRANSPORT MANUFACTURED AND PROCESSED FOOD STUFF AND OTHER PRODUCT FROM FACTORIES WHICH WILL BE DEVELOPED AFTER THE LOGISTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE. AND ACADEMIC AND HEALTH INSTITUTIONS FIRST TO FEED THE INDUSTRIES AND LOOK AFTER THE HEALTH INTERESTS OF THE WORKFORCE. AND MIND YOU- ZAMBIA CAN ONLY BE DEVELOPED BY ZAMBIANS, NOT ANGLO AMERICAN.
Even his own son and best friend – cobra junior and scott have left and you stand there talking about Sata’s vision. This incompetent person really needs to be go – he has nothing to offer Zambia.
When you dont have a vision you dont have a plan….Lungu thinks running an economy is like drinking beer at his bar where he can get away going with enough money for one drink and getting drunk from free beers from his friends.
LUNGU HAS A VISION- TO DEVELOP ZAMBIA IN A PROPER WAY: FIRST THINGS FIRST. HE CAN’T ABANDON WHAT HAS GLOBALLY BEEN AGREED AND WRITTEN IN PF MANIFESTO. IF ONE THINKS CONSTRUCTING A MONGU-KALABO ROAD WAS A MISPLACED DEVELOPMENT, THAT PERSON HAS TO HAVE THEIR BRAIN TESTED.
Peter, Mongu-Kalabo road was planned and paid for by the Mwanawasa government. They did so with reserves in the bank and a low inflation rate and low prices of food.
Infrastructure development is good no one denies that. What people are up about is the implementation plan and vision which ECL does not have. He has not envisioned how to lead others in the multitask of building roads and lowering the cost of living without borrowing.
THIS IS THE MAN ABASHALA KUWAYAWA FYE…
Ukuwayawaya nga panono!
i was on the copperbelt and passing through kitwe two days ago going into CEC along 23rd avenue. And just outside Mpullungu aspiring candidate MR FREEDOM SIKAZWE ‘s house near the kingdom hall are two veeerrrryyyy big potholes!!!…i am told this road was tarred les than 8months ago.
This mass murderer should be going to the ICC next month. He has killed too many Zambians. We are finished with him.
#ChagwaMustFall
#PFmustGo
#PF Zwaa!
Please complete all the projects president Sata started. That is the best way to honour the big man. Continue being humble and people will vote for you massively. The opposition have no message apart from causing chaos and blood shed.
Really laughable..Old man Sata only had one plan that was getting into State House but no plan of what to do when he got there…its like a thief meticulously planning to break into a bank vault with tonnes of gold bullion without no plan of how to move it.
Good your excellence! Even is his own children & family r shi.ting on his legacy, u r the man who has realized it. Viva EL!
Sata had no vision. His donchi kubeba lies died with him. Lungu now wants to kill his way back into State House. This is his Dununa Reverse. PF is a waste of time. The country is on its knees. No jobs. Hyper-inflation. Rampart powercuts. PF violence. Murders of Zambians.
Why should a normal person be following a dead mans vision. Iwe chakolwa you said you got no vision.
E by cako!we, kusabaila fye
Ba Jay Jay, your hatred towards ECL and love for HH is well documented. Please continue posting your negative messages about the president but be rest be assured that he bouncing back after August election and that means more high blood pressure for you. Kikiki.
@ Chibs
You are almost there!
Can you please replace “hatred” with OBJECTIVITY and “love” with RESPECT and you will become aspirant member to the club of REASONABLE & OBJECTIVE BLOGGERS!!!
Ba chibs mukalila na party gene iyalubuli You can not mock God
Ba chibs mukalila na party yenu PF iyalubuli You cannot mock God
The President for all Zambians. He is ” The One” The chosen one! Ifintu ni Lungu. We shall surely not experiment.
Chakolwa Chagwa is the President for Bemba speakers, the only language he ever speaks. He is a thief, a drunkard and a mass murderer. He deserves a lifetime in jail at the ICC.
MCS had no other vision than winning Plot One,endless by-elections ,witch hunts and introducing a culture of PF cadre violence + PF infighting.
Gone are bumper harvests,record Forex reserves,BB+ ratings from Fitch and in came more load shedding,mine closures and poor economic growth of just 3%.
Even after more than 12 months behind the wheel, he can not articulate his own vision or a 5 year road map…it just goes to show that the vehicle was simply going round circles in an open desert and this is why I call this man a LAZY BUM as he does not add no value whatsoever to our country even if he shouts loud and with a deep voice in the microphone like an energetic CEO at campaigns people must not be ******.
BA JAY JAY, YOU REALLY DON’T KNOW, OR SHOULD I SAY YOU REALLY NEVER USED TO KNOW MCS. MCS HAD THE VISION FOR ZAMBIA WHICH STILL LIVES ON EVEN IN HIS POST-HUMOURS STATE. MCS’s VISION RESULTS CAN BE SEEN AND ECL’s DECLARATION TO CONTINUE WITH MCS’s VISION BEFORE HE STARTS HIS IS JUST SPOT-ON.
Satan had no vision. The road projects were already there and planned by MMD. Satan just jumped on that so that he could screw millions out of the road contracts with Willie Nsanda from State House. None of Satan’s 90 day pronises materialised – no jobs, no money, no end to powercuts, no new mines, no exit of Chinese infestors.
Guys,
Kindly give President ECL a second chance.
His first term was tough, he literally took over a “caretaker government”, as a result, he had to thread carefully. Unfortunately, some of those around him, exploited that…AND BECAME VERY RICH.
Once elected now, he would have done it on his own steam. That will be an immense confidence booster. He can now KICK BUTTS and get the economy back on track.
My innate feeling is that President Lungu will be a totally different person during his second term.
Boosted by self confidence, he will be entirely “businesslike!”
Kindly follow my advice and give him the benefit of the doubt!
Yes! Thpse around him became very rich. Some made K20.5million in 15months! We saw the declarations when filing their papers!
When someone insists that he will follow a dead man’s vision, he is merely acknowledging that he has no vision. You cann run a country depending on the dead. Kuya bebele with your tandem of thieves.
Chakolwa Chagwa has already given us Zambians a kadyonko of killings and political violence in his short term. If he wins another 5 years, expect Chagwa’s murder squads to be going around the country with the disappearance of thousands like in Chile under Pinochet.
@ Sahadev Pandhya
And as “care-taker” he has done great job in taking care of his bank balance?!?
He should have given Mapenzi a second chance.
As individuals we all have visions. Sata had a vision and died with his vision. Lungu has no vision of his own except Sata’s dead vision. As they say without a vision people perish and no wonder under Lungu’s visionless and failed leadership Zambia has been ruined. The Chipante pante way of doing this is unproductive. No wonder Lungu resorts to stealing elections, committing acts of violence on innocent civilians, stealing elections, murdering Mapenzi Chibulo etc. Forward with the Ten Point Plan
Forward with HH and Team UPND.
What’s with “I will complete all the developmental projects” each time Lungu addresses rallies? Is a nation’s progress all about the so-called projects? It is much more than structures erected or laid out from borrowed money – using dodgy contractors. Real development has a human face. What is the PF’s economic plan that actually addresses viable fiscal policies, employment creation, sustainable energy, more productive agricultural policies, sanitation/health and a safety net for the vulnerable? Addressing the NOW, rather than pointing to an undefinable old vision or tattered manifesto. Its about plans that change people’s quality of life for the better as I have outlined above. Does Lungu have a desk? Does he meet his ministers to plan the way forward?
Chibs @4. Are you living on earth and Zambia in particular? Because the last time i checked it was PF causing the bloodshed by shooting unarmed citizens.
Pointer Peter, you are just blogging and not knowing why te?
Sata’s vision: Lock up corrupt RB and Dorah Siliya. Lungu sharing this vision?
What about your vision sir? What is your vision? Do you really know what Sata’s vision was?
i was on the copperbelt and passing through kitwe two days ago going into CEC along 23rd avenue. And just outside Mpullungu aspiring candidate MR FREEDOM SIKAZWE ‘s house near the kingdom hall are two veeerrrryyyy big potholes!!!…i am told this road was tarred les than 8months ago.
You will know them by their incompetence and low standards. Why can’t Sikazwe fill those potholes outside his own house?
He has already abandoned Satas vision and chased all Satas friendso and family. He is a worthless incompetent drunken hypocrite controlled by Rupiah Bandai. HE MUST GO
Go and take Northern Province/ Luapula by getting 300,000 in each province. We rejece tribal voting patterns in Southern Province and we will ensure a beneficiary of tribalism is not installed as Head of State. The Zambian economy will recover but for now, we need the infrastructure. The economy will recover in 2018 when China stock piles of copper are diminished. We also need to reduce our exports of copper and form an ‘OPEC’ for copper countries so that we determine the prices of this commodity.
UMUNTU NI LUNGU OTHERS NIMA GALU!
HH is very bitter
1. He addresses huge rallies but they don’t intend to vote for him
2. He tries the strategy of sending his cadres on illegal processions but in the process ends up sending them to their early graves. and also annoying the street vendors and other businessmen whose business is disrupted.
3. Now the cadres know the law and will never obey HH with their lives. That kills the biggest strategy H H had, hence his bitterness at Mulungushi hall yesterday.
4. He goes to Chingola and ends up annoying both wives and husbands by talking about the thir sex lives thus no votes there
5. His cadres go on the streets of Kopala waving the forward symbol and no one responds.
Even his own son and best friend – cobra junior and scott have left and you stand there talking about Sata’s vision. This incompetent person really needs to be go – he has nothing to offer Zambia. Useless
This is laughable, implement his vision ‘Donchi kubeba’, 90 days, more money in your pocket etc. Well the more money is true, in the sense that in less than 5 years the PF have borrowed close to $10Bn. 70% of our countries revenue comes from copper, which took a hit like other commodities on the continent. Worst currency in 2015, high inflation, food shortages, load shedding and we say no lets give you another term. The test for true leadership is moving with the times, none of the above issues have been resolved unlike our other counterparts elsewhere. Even Ethiopia is fairing much better than Zambia, and this issue of we don’t experiment with leaders well the mandate was given to them, and things have got worse not better. Therefore another 5 years of this will surely see us becoming…
YOU PEOPLE YOU ARE MISSING THE POINT HERE, THE ISSUE IS SIMPLE. I GAVE SATA MY VOTE COZ THE MAN HAD A VISION. SATA’S VISION IS TOO BIG AND TOO COMPLICATED ONE CHAGWA TO COMPREHEND. BESIDES THAT, CHAGWA DID AWAY WITH THE VERY PEOPLE WHO COINED IN THAT VISION, SUCH AS BASHI NONO, GUY SCOT, KABIMBA, EMMANUEL CHENDA, WILBUR SIMUSA ETC. WHEN A MACHINE HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, ITS MANUFACTURERS WILL EASILY RESOLVE IT. WITH SATA’S VISION, AND PARTLY EXECUTED PROJECTS, PF HAD A CUTTING EDGE ADVANTAGE IF ONLY THEY HAD LOOKED BEYOND LUNGU. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THE MAN BUT HAS FAILED LAMENTABLY. YOU CANT GO HUNTING WITH THE SAME RIFLE THAT FAILS TO FINE OR MISFIRE, YOU ARE RISKING YOUR OWN LIFE BY SO DOING
