    • The waste of money in this commission of inquiry is no different from the $42,000,000 fire tender. This is what Zambians don’t get. Until Zambians get it, its more suffering.

    • we need a commission on corruption. violence was caused by failure of the police to provide security.

  1. Good job! 100% turnout in regions with fewer people but more people! Let us see if anything that breathes was registered including Under Fives.

  2. Poor tax payers at abuse again. High PAYE , poor education standards, serious health service delivery challenges, high unemployment rates, high rates of crimes, suicide,prostitution , HIV/AIDS, corruption.Most african leaders lack desire to get their people out of poverty. Instead the use poverty as a tool to manipulate their citizens and enforce their rule on them.
