President Edgar Lungu is this Sunday expected in Muchinga Province for a three day working visit.

The President is expected to check on developmental projects.

The Head of State will also check on over 100 Trucks that have been impounded at Nakonde border after being found with illegally harvested Mukula logs.

Muchinga Province Permanent Secretary Bright Nundwe has told ZNBC News in an interview that the President will visit Mpika, Chinsali, Isoka and Nakonde districts.

Mr. Nundwe says in all the districts, the President will check on various developmental projects such as the water reticulation systems, hospitals and will also take time to meet with civil servants and Party officials.

On Tuesday, the Head of State will meet with all Traditional leaders in Muchinga Province where he is expected to among other things dialogue with them on how best to police the illegal harvest of the Mukula tree.

Mr. Nundwe says the people of the Province are excited with the President’s visit as this is the first time this year he is touring Muchinga Province.

    • Watch for the entourage that unnecessarily follows him for this.

      That is the grievance for the majority.

      Thanks

    • Very very clearly Lungu does not belong in state house, he’s so guilty sitting in that office and he has to find excuses to get out.

    • There goes Lungu again. This man does not inspire me at all. His trips don’t make sense and can anyone convince me that his trips have yielded positive results apart from a drain from the national treasury? Each time he is in State House, he only thinks of the best way to make money and the only way he has discovered to make fast money is by going on jorry ride and merrymaking.

    • Lungu is working and that is great news.

      Those who want him to say andcsit at statehouse should advising theirlosing candidates to sit at their homes.

      Lungu was not voted to sit at statehouse but to work – and he is doing just that.

      Mr. President, keep it up.

  1. Very very clearly Lungu does not belong in state house, he’s so guilty sitting in that office and he has to find excuses to get out.

    • Gringo: Do you know the Job Description of a President of a country? Some of the comments are off and do not mean anything at all. The same people would say what is Lungu doing in State House when things are falling apart in districts. He visits the districts you say he should seat in State House. What do you want please please

    • He does not necessary required to travel to have an inspection himself. What is the work of ministers especially that the president is in the fore front inspecting trucks offcourse with a huge entourage doing nothing but watching his failures. Do you even know how a president should work?

  2. In fact these are the same characters who used to critisize Sata when he was just sitting in the office ati how is he going to know people’s problems if he does not move. Now they are complaining that Lungu is wasting money by checking on what is happening in the countryside. Imwe ba up and down mufunacani kansi? What would your tribal President done if he was in that seat ( God forbidooo)?

    • Why waste money of Provincial ministers..do these tins meet at cabinet meetings? Its clear this bum Lazy can not delegate nothing!!

  3. Lets not satisfy our thirst for power by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. Let the president do his work. Travelling is part of job description, that’s how he’ll appreciate the problems of the grass roots. Sela Mwandi Lungu Chalo Chobe.

  4. Lazy on the move again…the red ants on his office chair in State House have started biting as he has nothing to do apart from issuing silly directives.
    This bum should have been a Provincial Minister as he is utterly useless canister.

  5. Lungu is working and that is great news.

    Those who want him to say andcsit at statehouse should advising theirlosing candidates to sit at their homes.

    Lungu was not voted to sit at statehouse but to work – and he is doing just that.

    Mr. President, keep it up.

  6. Edgar Lungu’s visit is welcome but the most important thing is that he should not just come and talk and talk to excite his party cadres without any tangible results for the people of Nakonde.We want him to speak about the Great North Road that is in a bad state of affairs and assure us when his GOVT is beginning to work on it and many other issues affecting the residents like poor quality of water supply by Chambeshi Company.Further,I urge his minions/entourage to give him sufficient time for the residents to ask him questions unlike after the meeting,he goes off and presume all is well yet there are so many issues affecting the citizens which during his campaign his GOVT is yet to fulfill late fertilizers distribution,FRA late farmers payments,unworked feeder roads including delayed…

  7. Lungu is a troubled man. His Plan is not working. Having stolen the Election Lungu had hoped that the Petition will somehow fall by the wayside and that he would be recognized as the Legitimate President of Zambia. This has not materialised and the Petition keeps nagging him with no solution insight. Lungu knows he is staying in State House illegally and to restore Legitimacy the Petition has to be heard and disposed off. Lungu knows that Hearing the Petition is as good as committing political suicide for him. International and Regional Bodies have told Lungu to hear the Petition without further delays. Lungu is between a Rock and the Deep Blue Sea.

  8. Keep doing your works your excellency.late those said woods talking Rabish remain in the wood,I used to warden why there lose new I know the reason.And it coz there are allowes talking crap

  9. MR PRESIDENT SIR. KINDLY TRAVEL BY ROAD SO YOU CAN SEE FOR YOURSELF THE SAD STATE OF THE ROAD AND THE DANGER OF DRIVING ON THAT NARROW ROAD.

  10. Imwe fi upnd mwalipena?why do you complain about everything?was president Edgar Lungu voted to be only sitting in state house?PLEASE COMMENT ONLY ON YOUR DUNDUMWEZI PRESIDENT HH WHOM YOU VOTED FOR.US ECL VOTERS ARE VERY HAPPY WITH HIS WORKS.MR PRESIDENT-PLEASE KEEP IT UP!!YOU ARE INDEED A HARD WORKING PRESIDENT!!!EVEN IN 2021 WE SHALL VOTE FOR YOU SIR.GO PF GO!!

  11. How much in denial can some people be? Objective observation and thinking shows that Lungu is more on the road than can reasonably be expected of a President – especially one who has appointed so many people around him (some irrelevant) We have provincial ministers, district commissioners, perm.secs etc. What do they do, if they can’t go and inspect 100 trucks carrying some logs? How many times has Lungu been on a ‘working visit’ to Muchinga province? What is the PURPOSE of these tours? The other day he was at government printers. For goodness sake, when does he actually WORK? How about sitting down in the office to assess where the country is, where it is going and then address the nation – while allowing questions from all manner of media/press?

  12. Mujinga province no wonder every important aspect of our economy is dominated by foreign entities bcuz we live in Mujinga land?

  13. It looks like Lungu is already preparing for a Presidential Election Run Off. He was campaigning in Chipata recently and now in Northern Provinces. With 41/2 years to go why is Lungu worried about what might happen or not happen in 2021? Perhaps that is meant to divert attention from the 2016 Presidential Petition. Lungu had hoped that after the Concourt gymnastics the Petition would die away after all Concourt’s decision is final. The Plan has failed and the Petition is soon going to be heard by ICJ. Lungu knows the Verdict by ICJ will go against him for obvious reasons. He is hoping for an Election Run Off which he will not get becoz he abrogated the Zambian Constitution in many ways and evidence abounds showing Lungu lost the 2016 Election outright. This is what is haunting Lungu and…

  14. We would like to remind Edgar Chavwa Lungu that during 2016 General Elections,we rendered the services to ECZ by providing motor vehicles.Surprisingly since last year August todate we have only been paid part payments yet funds were budgeted for and expected soon after the exercise,we would immediately be honoured as per contractual agreement/obligation but why wonder his PF GOVT has taken so long to settle the balances.Hence,any PF Cadre who would be able to read the message/notification could kindly,convey our plight to Edgar the President so that he can instruct and direct ECZ Director and its Management to clear us.Concerned Resident/Nakonde District Muchinga Province
