The President is expected to meet government Heads of Departments.

  1. President Edgar Lungu says he will develop the country even in areas where the Patriotic Front lost elections…..is he serious ?lungu says some dumb stuff,and his movements are getting out of hands,he is busy travelling locally and globally when the country is go to sh……..t

    • So you want him to just sit at state house… how dumb will that be. Any wise president goes to where action is required, not just holding press conferences and radio interviews in support of individuals like Membe and his wife. One certainly can’t develop a country by sitting in statehouse or holding cabinet meetings.

  2. why the insistence on talking abour who accepts at every juncture…ku airport, ku church…smh. just get on with your job if you are so confident you won.

    • Every week he is on the move touring like a Provincial Minister. Lets talk about Flitch…why opt to be a president when you are workshy?

  3. WHAT PRESIDENT LUNGU FAILS TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT HE IS NOT ONLY PARTY PRESIDENT BUT THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA. I FIND HIS STATEMENTS OF HE WILL DEVELOP EVEN PARTS THAT DID NOT SUPPORT HIM CHILDISH AND AN INDIRECT WAY OF REMINDING THE PEOPLE THAT HE IS DOING THEM A FAVOUR. WHOEVER WRITES HIS SPEACHES SHOULD BE FIRED.

  4. Mr Lungu has adopted a lot of RB’s style of leadership. Do not spend nights in state house, if he’s not abroad… he’s traveling locally. Is there a problem at state house and should we come for prayers?

  5. Clueless cannon, always ranting about who did not vote for him. The fact is the majority did not actually vote for you, you manipulated the results at ECZ to feed your lost ego and now you are trying so hard to regain the trust of the masses. Chiluba was smart than this hogwash. He would win elections convincingly and not rig elections to prolong your misrule that you has brought abject poverty on the people. Why are people all of a sudden resigning from ECZ? Any sane person who thinks normally would like to know. Shame on you and your blotted government hellbent on bringing misery and suffering on innocent citizens.

  6. “President Lazy says he will develop the country even in areas where the Patriotic Front lost elections.”

    Who does this lazy empty tin think he is…he thinks funds come out of PF account to develop and fund construction…what a moron, do not play on the minds of the less informed.

  7. But where is development even in areas where your won the elections mr president? we are tired of your song that you will develop. Your are only remaining with four years. You have been singing that song when ever you visit southern province. But even those of us who gave you a vote can’t see the development we voted for. Please sir, stop corruption in the government.

  8. “President Edgar Lungu says he will develop the country, even in areas where the Patriotic Front lost elections”.

    This message has nothing to do with the developing the country.

    This is Agitate message

    Inheritor Has different vision from the founder.

  9. How was Mr Lungu received at HMN Airport? Salutes by service chiefs? Police escort, sirens on the road? Give way by the rest of us? Then that is the real His Excellent.
    I see that when His Excellent is travelling, Hh keeps indoors, to avoid the embarrassment of having to give way to His Excellent. And if he dared not give way? Well the law has many provisions regarding the safety of His Excellent, all leading to immediate lock up until bond or bail is given. Dare he try? Not at all, the other day he cobfessed to journalists how it feels to be locked up even just one night, he even said that the conditions are not exactly like his bedroom…kikikikikiki!

  10. This president is useless. He can’t sit in the office and plan for this nation. Me I am not educated but I am able to reason though I like brown envelopes and bribes but Lungu ‘s leadership style is useless. Zambians are to blame for voting a drunkard president, says paramount chief mpezeni of the Ngoni speaking people

    • How can you claim to be reasonable when you have publicly and proudly admitted you are corrupt…sadly there is a lot of people in Zambia with such rotten mindsets!

  11. A thousand plus Hungry Bloggers have indeed discovered a rich mine field to make money by writing all sorts of criticisms on President Lungu so as to enlist themselves on HH’s “PAY ROLL” on long term basis. It has become a big industry. Very soon these mercenaries will stop thinking but resort to criticizing President Lungu even on the day ECL will praise HH for going to Church.

  12. It’s good Edgar knows he is not a president of everyone.let me emphasis it just incase it doesn’t get into his ears….you are not a president of the 65% zambians…this is why u have it a hard way to govern this nation.infact even your stronghold is giving up because they have also realized that you are just as useless as your mentor RB.

    Show us what u have done in your stronghold apart from stealing from the poor tax payers.the fight for corruption has died a natural death because the state house is the big culprit
