PRESIDENT Lungu has instructed the Government Printing Department to ensure ballot papers and other materials for the 2021 presidential and general elections are printed at its plant in Lusaka to save costs.

President Lungu said Government is going to put its neck on the block and ensure that the 2021 poll ballot papers are printed locally.

“We must print ballot papers locally at Zambia Printing,” he said.

President Lungu was speaking after a conducted tour of the Government Printing Department’s plant in Lusaka yesterday.

“Whether the opposition parties like it or not, we are going to print ballot papers locally and I am inviting everyone to visit and see the preparations Government is making to ensure that the 2021 ballot papers are printed at the Government Printing Department,” President Lungu said.

“We can’t develop this country if we continue taking money outside the country to do things we can do locally,” he said.

He said Government should take charge of securing the printing plant and ensure it is fully operational by 2021.

“We can’t develop this country if we continue taking money outside the country to do things we can do locally,” he said.

And President Lungu said the way forward to ensure that Zambia Printing is ready for the 2021 elections is to continue working on the department and that those who are opposed to printing ballot papers locally should explain why.

“We don’t want people to petition that we are stealing votes because despite being told that I have stolen votes in the last elections, they have never told me how many votes I allegedly stole and from where,” he said.

President Lungu said United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema, who was claiming the President stole his votes could not even say the number of votes he allegedly had stolen from him and where.

“If I stole votes to become President of Zambia, Mr Hichilema must show me the votes I stole in Chawama, Matero, Dundumwezi and elsewhere, add them and show me that this is what I have stolen,” President Lungu said.

And President Lungu says the impression of his tour was that the Government Printing Department had been neglected at the expense of the Zambian taxpayers’ money.

“If I stole votes to become President of Zambia, Mr Hichilema must show me the votes I stole in Chawama, Matero, Dundumwezi and elsewhere, add them and show me that this is what I have stolen,” President Lungu said.

“We have ballot papers printed in South Africa at one time then Dubai recently. If we support this department we will save a lot of money,” he said.

The President said what is needed to reinforce security at the plant is installation of CCTV and that this has been done.

United Party for National Development (UPND) says the printing plant should be empowered with resources for it to perform such a feat in 2021.

Party spokesperson Charles Kakoma said it does not matter where ballots papers are printed for as long as this is done transparently.

  1. Print them locally and you’ll get accused of “built-in rigging” .That’s not going to build credibility in the electoral process or the printing personnel.

    • Sata said the same thing in 2011. Nothing happened thereafter. Ballots continue to be printed from abroad.

    • Here is were everything here is wrong.
      WHY Mr Lungu instead of ECZ to issue a directive, plus the tour, yes he is going in as head of state but also he is a political leader. What guarantee do we have that all those doing the printing are not PF cadres? This smells corruption and rigging.
      Sorry but this is how I see this. ECZ should be doing this and calling all political parties to the table and discuss the decision and then later tell the nation. This is what we get when everything starts and ends with the president.
      When I am president all this will be things of the past.

    • Interesting speech from the President on the alleged stolen votes. One would have thought that is exactly what the opposition would like to show if they are allowed to be heard on their election petition.
      For the moment citizens don’t know whom to believe if this accusation is not allowed to be put to rest through a court hearing.

    • They should always have been printed locally.

      If you don’t trust your house, why should you trust any other’s

      Staggering.

      Thanks

    • Mr President, I beg you to shut up. The issue of vote hacking or vote rigging as we call it in Africa is current in court. You are committing CONTEMPT OF COURT by comment on it.You are a Lawyer and you know this fact. Further, if you want His Excellency HH to show you how many votes you stole in the last election to become President, let’s for go back to the Petition by the UPND and you HAND-OVER POWER to Matibini and get out of State House during the period the PETITION is determined. When you have done that, Mr HH will show you how many votes you stole in the last Election. IT’S THAT EASY, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? DO IT, BECAUSE ZAMBIANS WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

Secondly, you HAND-OVER POWER to Matibini as the Constitution which you signed demands. And thirdly, get out of State House during the period that the PETITION will be determined as demanded by the Constitution also. When you have done these three very important things, Mr HH will show you how many votes you stole in the last Election. IT’S THAT EASY, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? DO IT, BECAUSE ZAMBIANS WANT TO KNOW…

    • I think that the president is in the right direction.

      But unfortunately we have the UPND who think everything everyone is doing else is doing is wrong except if it were them doing it.

      Now, my advice to UPND is that they should just increase their sleeping hours by stepping early enough.

      This will give them longer time to enjoy the dream they have each night, that HH won the elections and that he is the president.

    • Everything is directives..some minster somewhere is waiting for Lazy’s directive this very minute…how can you move forward like this!!

    • The truth is the reason they have insisted on printing them overseas is so they can temper with them and use them to manipulate the elections. Now he’s figured out you don’t necessarily need the tempering of the ballot papers during pre-elections. Rather he is now aware that all you need is to temper with the results themselves. What a shrouded crook!

    • YOU MEAN THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING INFRASTRUCTURE I AM SEING IN PICTURES ABOVE HAS BEEN FAILING TO PRINT JUST BALLOT PAPERS? OR IS THIS MACHINERY JUST NEW? IF BOTH ARE THE CASE, THEN I CAN SAY GOVERNMENT PRINTING COMPANY IS MORE THAN READY TO PRINT ANYTHING. MAY THE PART OF PRINTING NOT READY IS THE PERSONNEL CAPACITY AND IN THIS CASE A NUMBER OF DIRECT PRINTING PERSONNEL MUST BE SENT FOR SERIOUS TRAINNING ABROAD AND ATTACHED TO A MODERN PRINTING COMPANY TO LEARN NOT ONLY THEORIES BUT ALSO PRACTICAL PRINTING TECHNICS. FOR SECURITY, THE GOVERNMENT MUST IMPLEMENT ELECTRONIC GATES AND SPECIALLY TRAINED PHYSICAL SECURITY PERSONNEL. THE COMPNY MUST ALSO MARKET ITS BUSINESS LOCALLY AND WITHIN SADC AREA TO GET MORE JOBS. ALSO ENCOURAGE BOOK WRITING IN ZAMBIA. I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE’S THAT KIND OF…

    • …BELIEVE THERE’S THAT KIND OF PRINTING MACHINERY OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND MOST ZAMBIANS DON’T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT.
      THE OTHER THING THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO IS TO BUILD A MORE MODERN BUILDING AROUND THE EXISTING ONE WITH, “CAST-IN-STONE”, SECURITY FEATURES AS MENTIONED ABOVE AND SECURITY CAMERAS. ETC.

    • Now the UPND petition is open to be heard. Edgar wants to know how many votes was stolen. Why he decide to do that so late?

  2. Whether they print abroad or in Zambia,normally the winners of elections have no capacity to lift the well being of their citizens economically. Why is it that Sata was not happy that his MPs grew very fat just after entering government and he voiced it out openly. Government printer may be neutral, issue is the people who get elected. Like right now, nothing is happening, we are in a limbo. And we don’t have alternatives sadly

  3. Still HH and upnd will accuse you of stealing votes if you win 2021 despite the good intentions of developing government printers and save money.

  4. Why is he preoccupied with 2021 when we are five years away? So he knows that he stole the votes after all? why are you yapping about HH instead of dealing with the poverty levels which have reached alarming levels? The cost of living is too high and yet all we hear is 2021. Indeed were there is no vision people perish. Imagine the President wakes up in the morning and all he is thinking about are ballot papers and were they will be printed? What have we done to deserve this mediocrity and sheer incompetence at the highest level of governance? Give us a break and deal with real issues affecting the masses please.

    • Is it the only thing ECL is doing??? there are so many things his excellence is doing including the printing of national ballot papers, attracting investment etc. Call it what you like that is the duty of a heard of state, to give direction. Now ECZ must work out the logistics and make sure that they implement the lawful executive directive.

    • You simon lunatic, your little kantemba party has 14 days and did not even present a single piece of evidence and the court got tired of preliminary nonsense. Mind you it is a mulfunctional of a head for one to think any court under the sun will hear any nonsense from the hyena. The High court is just taking you for a ride knowing your f00lishness

  5. How does a thief tell the place he stole from that security is good and watertight?Lungu the thief and illegitimate President doesnot have mandate to talk about 2021 when his last theft is still under dispute.He and his puppet masters days are numbered justice will catch up with him.This cartel of crooks from the east Rb,ECL and CJ mambilima God will deal with you sternly.Lungu wants us to expose were he stole Lundazi, non existent Chitulika and Ecz reduced his votes by 8000.In lundazi more votes than people who voted in Lusaka province Pf was wired the only constituency the Pf ans Ecz won by a small number was matero this is why he is scared of the petition.Any God is fixing him by making it difficult to ran the country no aid will be released by IMF as their hearts will be hardened…

  6. This is why the puppet does not want to have the petition heard. LUSAKA central and Munali seats nullification proved that the Pf was roundly wired in lusaka

  7. That’s good my Presdo. As a matter of fact u should let UPND supervise the entire printing process so that we should see where the next blaming finger will come from.

  8. Good afternoon morning and evening to all Zambians around the world. I would like to confirm that we are relieved that we have not lost any lives from our upnd team in London following the terrorist attacks in Westminster today. We are also glad that no Zambian lives have been lost. It is sad that the pf government in conjunction with their cadre high commission in London have not issued a statement as we have many Zambian economic refugees in UK who have been forced there due to pf failures. Rip to the four that have lost their lives. Meanwhile this clown lungu is busy thinking about an election he is not eligible to stand.

    Nez
    Chief strategist of the upnd

  9. A LOSER WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A LOSER WHETHER THE BALLOT PAPERS ARE PRINTED IN ZAMBIA OR CAMBODIA. VIVA LOSER HH VIVA, VIVA LOSER GBV VIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. PF and UPND have got completely no capacity to turn the economic fortunes of our country. Mark the word Capacity. What ever sweet things they may say, at the end of the day it all boils down to capacit. People are going hungry in a peaceful country and you have no clue of what to do in such a rich country like Zambia. In French it is called capacite°, that is what is lacking. You could be humble but what is needed is CAPACITY.

  11. News coming coming in is that mushota was in London yesterday during the terror attacks. She has not commented since yesterday and we are worried for her safety. We hope the illegal best blogger made it alive

  12. Lungu is a hypocrite. He wants HH to produce the evidence showing how Lungu stole the votes but he is busy blocking the Petition Hearing in Court. Lungu has been accused of being a Vote Thief so why doesn’t he produce the evidence in Court and show the Nation and the International Community how he won the Election? In the same Court HH will produce evidence showing that Lungu stole HH’s votes and in fact HH won the Election. The judge can then study the evidence and declare the Winner who will in turn be Sworn in as State President. Lungu statement confirms that he lost the Election and HH won. Lungu will not allow the Petition to be heard in Court becoz he will be found guilty. SADC and AU must force Lungu to hear the Petition b4 violence erupts on the streets in Zambia.

  13. Lungu please concentrate on developing the nation and fight hunger. Why are you talking about ballot papers when we have a ong way to get to 2021? People are starving they need food on their table. Has power gotten to your head that you can’t imagine you being a President?

  14. Lungu’s comments on the Votes is baffling. Lungu has been accused of Stealing HH’s votes. Surely a Vote Thief should be anxious to prove in Court his innocence and show that he never stole HH’s votes. Instead of clearing his name Lungu is blocking the Petition Hearing becoz he knows he will be convicted as a Vote Thief. Lungu’s scheme is to stay in State House illegally and prolong his Rule. Lungu will not allow the Hearing of the Petition becoz it is suicidal to him. It follows therefore that Petitioners will never be heard in Lungu’s controlled Courts. On this basis the Petitioners, AU,SADC ,The Commonwealth,UN, EU and the International Community have to find a way to hear the Petition. An independent Tribunal should hear the Petition and Lungu must be forced to cooperate in the…

  15. Very interesting. The only worry is that our President as not been allowed to aee what will take place between now and 2021. These are common stories of dictators who in the end GOD opposes them. Hamen in the book of Esther did what was right in his eyes by planning to eliminate the Jews and God eliminated him and all his household instead. God will vindicate His people and He always does. Please our President, perform your duties and we will vote for you. If you will only oppress us, our God will dedend us.

  16. Lungu you a shameless thief. You stole a widows money while you were a corrupt lawyer, you stole elections twice. Moreover, a thief can never accept that they are thieves. Your wickedness will catch up with you. All those who sing for you will run away from you.

  17. This is a good plan and if it is effected. Like someone above said, President said the same thing and nothing was done. We hope this time something will come of it.

  18. Why talk about 2021 now???? Lungu needs to stop distracting us from how useless he is and make sure our country still exists in 2021 so his PF successor has a country to do like like trump and make great again.

    • True, at this rate, there may be no Zambia for this dictator to stand for election in 2021..Lungu is evil and it will cost this great nation..

  19. Just let the UPND petition be heard.

    If you won, why would you rather be called a theif instead of proving the accusers wrong by letting the nation see UPND evidence is baseless ??

    Muyopa chani ???

  20. I think that the president is in the right direction.

    But unfortunately we have the UPND who think everything everyone is doing else is doing is wrong except if it were them doing it.

    • @ 24.1 Spaka like lilo,

      Exactly my question, and no one seems to know.

      Let me ask this question again because even @Spaka wants to have an answer:

      Does any anyone know why HH feared to discuss his own petition, but instead resorted to preliminaries to deplete the entire 14 days?

      And why did HH send his MPs to take oath before the speaker who was appointed and sworn in by the President whom he does not recognise?

      And why does HH send his MPs to be lead by the vice president whose election he does not recognise?

      And why does HH send his MPs to sit in a parliament that was opened by the President whom he does not recognise?

      And why does HH and his MPs recognise the 11th session of Parliament when he does not recognise the President who forms part of Parliament?

      Does…

    • Peace for zambia

      Stop waffling.
      You are sounding like OJ Simpson.

      Just let the petition be heard, 14 days won’t change the evidence if lungu won…

    • @ 24.4 Spaka like lilo,

      You will wait for the hearing of the expired petition until you reach your old age.

      What are you going to hear when HH feared to speak and his chance ellapsed?

      Your behaviour is no longer strange to people, you do things in reverse.

      HH refuses to talk, then he asks, ‘Have I been heard?’

      Have been heard, what do you mean? How can people hear you when you refuse to talk? You mean they can hear your meditations?

      You all think the same, including your lawyers and advisors.

      And you keep asking, ‘will the evidence change?’

      Which evidence? Ask Maureen Mwanawasa to carry the entire been as court evidence for HH’s claims, that is if she agrees to join his falsehood.

    • Ba ‘Peace for Zambia’, it is another day for you to insult HH is it? Everyday HH this, HH that … every topic, every post is just about HH and UPND for you isn’t it? How much do they pay you to do this? What a job, What a life! Shame, shame upon you…

  22. Lungu is openly daring the Petitioners,UPND Supporters, all Zambians and the International Community that he is already in State House.Lungu is not bothered as to whether he is in State House illegally or not. What matters to Lungu is that he is in State House and in charge of State Machinery and anybody opposed to his Rule will be crushed. There is nothing that HH, SADC etc can do about it. Lungu is not going to dethrone himself from power by allowing the Petition to be heard in Court. It follows therefore that Petitioners must now take the Petition to ICJ. Lungu has to be forced to Hear the Petition becoz he is afraid of losing power if the Petition is properly heard in an Independent Court. Lungu is throwing a gauntlet to HH and the Zambian Nation. Can toothless SADC respond?

    • Lungu is in state House legally.

      ECL is the president of this country, legally and deservingly.

      In fact UPND and their lawyer, do not understand law.

      Any accused person stays innocent until proven guilty.

      President Lungu was accused by HH that he stole HH’s election.

      But when chance to prove the allegations was availed to HH, HH feared and avoided his own petition, resorting to hiding in the so-called preliminaries – which were also all fake, thereby wasting all the 14days.

      Thus, HH failed to prove that Lungu stole his election. So, in short, he was a false accuser who wanted to use falsehood to steal Lungu’s election victory.

      I expected that after losing 6 times, HH would get used and learn to accept but he has failed to learn how to handle and manage loss.

  23. Lungu and the PF kaponyas are realising the the petition will not go away….also the theif tag will stay.

    Just let the petition be heard

    Muyopa chani ??

    • Let us help @Spaka,

      Does any anyone know why HH feared to discuss his own petition, but instead resorted to preliminaries to deplete the entire 14 days?

    • HH is not being accused of stealing votes.

      Just prove lungu won, what is difficult about that??

      Muyopa chani ????

    • Indeed you are certified retards. How can icj hear the petition which is a constitutional matter to the republic of Zambia. They have no power to change our constitution to have that stupid petition heard. If you have a functional brain it’s high time you stopped calling for the hearing of the petition because it can’t happen. If your tribal leader was genuine he could have told you a long time ago that petition is over. But for the sake of him remaining at the helm of upnd he would rather not tell you. Hear it from me or never, there is no hearing of petition that is ever going to happen never! Case closed if you have nothing to talk about just share with us stories about your girlfriend

    • @ 26.2 Spaka like lilo,

      You accuse someone if stealing, then you want them to prove that they did not steal?

      You have no idea that it is your duty to prove that they stole.

      This explains what was in HH’s mind; he thought that if he spends all the time on preliminaries leaving Lungu with no time ‘to prove that he won’t, then the judge will say HH gas won the case.

      Your thinking is something than its absence.

    • Peace for zambia

      “…You accuse someone if stealing, then you want them to prove that they did not steal?..

      But lungu does not want UPND to prove he stole……he’d rather be called a theif

      A yopa chani lungu ???

    • @ 26.5 Spaka like lilo,

      So you are telling that because Lungu was fearing, he advised HH to avoid talking about his own petition and start enjoying preliminaries?

      And HH agreed to what Lungu told him, that ‘mwana, me I am fearing so just discuss preliminaries until 14 days is over’.

      And HH said, ‘you are right mwana, since you are fearing I will just focus on preliminaries – good idea’.

  24. Having been informed that all the evidence that was at the Civic centre has now been destroyed, the man now comes out strongly to challenge the petitioners as to how many votes they are claiming he stole, this is real childish play, I expect nursery school going kids to behave this way. I hope the petitioners have back up evidence somewhere.

    • Yes, then the Ugandan IT guys will find it MUCH EASIER to hack the system.

      And we can throw away the need for G12 forms that were not done in the last election. So if there is another challenge all the evidence of stealing votes can be deleted with the push of a button!

      Good idea! Now we can really steal the election properly AND hide all the evidence!

      100% win for Lungu! No more of this 50% +1 rubbish!

  25. Busy talking of 2021 election instead of talking development issues, i thought he came with investors from Israel they start growing tomatoes and cabbage in chipata????

  26. The solution to Lungu’s questions on how many votes were stollen from HH is to allow the petition to be heard so that evidence is adduced. Lungu should not think that Zambians are foolish. Let the petition be heard then we will know whether you were ligitimately elected or you just stole the votes. This is very simple. If I were Lungu, I wouldn’t even talk the way he is talking because it clearly shows admittance of guilt. Let the petition be heard – period. But obviously, he is scared of being exposed. The guilty are always afraid.

  27. OP,……..oh sorry Peace for Zambia you are causing more instability than any other blogger. Am sure you are not hungry.
    Truth is good. Wake up every morning and look in the mirror .do you see the truth
    So obvious by repetition that no other blogger has the opportunity to do.. LT headlines, as ypu know, are what most less educated read. Very old strategy

  28. The Zambia over-dependency on others to do everything for Zambians, and over-indulgence in criticizing others for our failures, is one of our greatest weaknesses and incontrovertible evidence of mental denial. Print them in Zambia so that we can show some sense of self reliance.

  29. So many wrong things he said. First I thought the decision about where and who to print ballot papers was reserved for the ECZ as an an presumably independent organ responsible for all elections matters. Lungu is another player in the race. Also isn’t that decision usually subject to competitive tender process? Or is he telling us all this ‘stakeholders’ meetings by ECZ is all lies?

    I think he’s has now figured that you don’t need to temper with the ballot to steal an election; rather all you need to do is manipulate the final results, hence this directive and pretending like he cares about development and poverty reduction.

    Also his statement of stealing the election is wrong on so many levels. What a hypocrite this thief of a president is

  30. It was better then if all the people were watching in the stadium like how they watch soccer and any sport
    look at how the under20 games held in Zambia.And the final match between Zambia and Senegal all saw how Zambia scored the first and second goal.inculding how a senegalese player throw juju inside the Zambian goal post.at last the winners Zambia won the match without any disputes.Alas with elections it’s a different story altogether.If results are being delayed to announce people can start thinking that there votes are being stolen or rigged somewhere.ECZ’s Chuulu and pricillar Isaac should work on that. Why delay results and cause unnecessary anxiety among electorates?

    • Presidential privileges at play. That’s why he is head of state. I hope you understand the difference between HEAD of state and tribal regional leader. The only thing he can’t change is what s enshrined in the republican constitution.

  31. How could He go there to talk about HH? I wonder if He has the confidence of addressing pipo without mention HH in his address to the pipo…………. Why does He continously worry about HH wherever He goes? Does He really enjoy a peaceful night sleep over HH?

  32. We will not allow HH to be president of our beloved country Zambia whether, illegally or legally. Let him go to Banthustan or Sinazeze and become president there. I can’t believe these disciples of untruthfulness are still dreaming HH winning 2016 elections. Winning, winning what and how? We don’t need the madness of HH at State House, please leave us alone.

  33. ON THE POSITIVE NOTE GOVERNMENT PRINTERS SHOULD BE A MONEY EARNER LIKE ALL GOVERNMENT SERVICE DEPARTMENTS THAT WE HAVE LEARNT GLOBAL INCLUDING THE LIKES OF WORLD BANK AMAZON AND IMF

    GOVERNMENT PRINTERS SHOULD GO ONLINE AND SELL GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS AS OPPOSED TO THE HARD COPIES IN THE TRADITIONAL MANNER WE HAVE SEEN ON THAT WINDOW I REMEMBER PURCHASING A CONSTITUTION AMENDMENT FOR K3 THAT I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT USING MY VISA THE COVERAGE FOR GOVERNMENT PRINTERS CAN BE WORLDWIDE AND REVENUES COULD BE EVEN BE ENHANCED MUCH MORE

    IMAGE HOW MANY PEOPLE DOWNLOAD GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS ON INDIVIDUAL MINISTRIES AND IF SUCH WERE TO BE HOUSED AND BOUGHT…

  34. GOING ONLINE AND MAKING GOVERNMENT PRINTER E AND ALLOW IT TO BE LIKE IMF OR WORLD BANK IN TERMS OF PORTAL EVEN AMAZON

    THERE ARE MORE DOCUMENTS CHANNELLED FROM GOVERNMENT OFFICES THAN OTHER AND REVENUES COULD BE HIGHER

    OF COURSE THERE SHOULD BE SOME FREE CONTENT OF THOSE DOCUMENTS THAT PEOPLE CAN FREELY DOWNLOAD AND PAY ONLINE FOR OTHERS

  35. So Lungu has again diverted everyone to discussing 2021? Instead of responding to him, Zambians should be demanding that he sits his ar.se down and does some real work. Every other day he is either out of the country or on some useless tour around the country. What was the purpose of his visit to a printing company? An ‘entire’ President. Or did he think of this ‘ after waking up from a nightmare about HH? – so he could have an excuse to comment about him? It is a tragedy that we have someone like Lungu as President. But the biggest tragedy is Zambians allowing it to happen.

  36. Lungu is not the right person to where ballots will be printed. What is wrong with the chap? What interest does he have? To rig again. The electro commission must be seen to be independent and make its own decisions. Not these ill advised directives from a drunkard acting under the influence of a hangover.
