wako niwako syndrom
SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW? LOL SPEECHLESS!!!! A CHIEF ACTUALLY SAID THIS? IN ANY OTHER PROVINCE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED AS TRIBALISM.
LUSAMBO SOUND LIKE A HARD WORKER
========================
I have never heard the chiefs ever hailing that Mwanawasa boy G. Namulambe. That said, bravo young man Lusambo; you got yourself a Chicken neck at dinner.
Open tribalism. No nangu ukufisako. Zambia in the sun.
Its not tribalism, its Lusambo’s stronghold. Hahaha…………
Don’t judge a book by its cover. When Muhammad Ali is fighting a white boxer it’s obvious blacks will be backing Muhammad. Affiliation is inherent.
Give credit were its due
Foolish @ ISIS.zm and Loadist,have you seem the provincial ministers appointed in Western and Southern provinces most times?Where do they come from…..its from within their provinces!Check the statistics and you will confirm.
He understands them well. How do you have a person from Luapula as your minister? Obviously his interest will be in the towns and not the rural area. Kajam has been operating in in the area for a long time and never ever paid land rates because it has no title deed. There was Davies Mwila under PF what did he do? Nothing. Bowman is correcting the situation. Visit the rural area ..and see how your own are living and inform the president. Though I am from Northwestern I feel you are doing a very good job and we need one of your calibre too. BOWMAN you are the only provincial minister that starts with the rural area and wanting to understand their issues and helping correct them
Proud of our young man.
Ba Mwisho, Infitu fikochitika chabe bwino. Umusankwa uyu alukubomba ubune bwenka.
Continue with the same spirit Bowman!!
Kudos to Lusambo well done
