President Edgar Lungu is expected to be among the African Heads of States and Government to attend the inauguration of Kenya’s President-Elect, Uhuru Kenyatta, scheduled for Tuesday, November 28, 2017.The Zambian delegation, which includes former President, Rupiah Banda, started arriving on Sunday, November 25, 2017.
Meanwhile, security is tight as Kenya prepares for inauguration ceremony.Security has been tightened in the capital, Nairobii, for the ceremony, estimated to cost 3-hundred million Kenyan Shillings, which will be held at Kasarani Stadium.
And according to the local media, the Kenyan government expects 20 heads of state to attend the swearing-in ceremony of President-elect Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto.The Standard Digital, an online publication, reports that police officers have been recalled from other regions to beef up security in Nairobi.
A government official, Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matinagi is said to have told the local media that Tuesday, November 28, the day for the inauguration, has been set as a public holiday to allow Kenyans to attend the ceremony.This is in the back planned protests by the opposition, which has disputed the October 26, 2017, repeat presidential election, that was however upheld by the Supreme Court.
This will be the second 5-year Presidential term for President-Elect Kenyatta, after his term from April 9, 2013.
He is Kenya’s 4th Republican President, succeeding Mwai Kibaki.
ZNBC
This now is an addiction. Otherwise, our president has gone kuku.
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF HE DID NOT ATTEND.
THIS IS GIVING AMMUNITION TO ALL THE HATERS AND REGIONALISTS.
EVRYTHING IN MODERATION
He is recognized worldwide as the legitimate President of Zambia and he was invited….
“Continue barking while we continue ruling”
2018 vote ZANU PF (ED)
2021 vote PF (Edgar)
Congratulations President Uhuru Kenya that
I thank you
@ Katondo boys its a fact that he is the recognized president of the republic of Zambia but the point is that ECL needs to practice some austerity for the sake of the electorate. That’s what leadership (servant hood) is all about
He is not married.
I feel sorry for Ba Ester.
President Edgar Lungu’s vision is to strengthen bilateral relations…. The rest of his work can wait. Awe sure mwe….
These are the wasted years
This stup!d addiction, kenya is in East Africa, her neighbors are not sending Presidents Tanzania, Uganda etc but sending simple ministers. Why lungu??
There will be an inauguration in my house also next week, lungu please don’t come you are not invited
lungu is just demonstrating practically what he meant when he said he was id!otically clueless how to govern a country. So at the slightest excuse to escape responsibility up there he goes in an aeroplane away from critics.
Kamwendo kadansa chakolwa lungu there he goes again….lol
He will only stop moving umungulu when he collapsess chipupukutuu in front of masses in a foreign land, elyo akateka amatakooo pashiii!!
,any excuse for leaving the country. Could it be his wife? Is she nagging him too much he always has to flee?
PF has failed to discipline this Identified Flying Obect (IFO) called Jonathan Edward Chagwa. You cannot even sit down to teach him a lesson. He has fired or ignored most PF members and now MMD is back using his back door. ECL has destroyed PF the same way Mugabe almost destroyed ZANU-PF with his G40. They retired him and kicked out the G40. PF has failed to kick out ECL with his MMD20. Instead of getting rid of one man to save the party, PF would rather the entire party sinks while they are busy licking ECL’s dunged boots.
Iwe Lungu, ikala panshi?
What’s wrong with you?
@be honest
Great point my dear friend…I agree with you I think Kaizer Zulu and Kalaba are not helping our President…Kaiser Zulu needs to be fired and Lungu should appoint Palan Mulonda as Minister of Foreign Affairs…Palan can represent Zambia very well in the absence of the President
2018 Vote ZANU PF (ED)
2021 vote PF (Edgar )
I thank you
The public has complained and nothing has changed. So do we just sit back and wait for 2021? Who is going to make EL listen? We need some help.
Ala Nostra D with my good looks and also power I onky hope and pray I dont meet Ba Ester lonely in a hotel.
Wasted years. Zambia, who will steady thee? Who will bring prosperity to thee? He that once was stole thee to be king is a flying prostitute seeking that, craving this many functions to satify fleeting ego.
The pride of our servant, Chakolwa Lungu, knows no boundary. His heart hath deceived many. He dwellest less and less in State House, for his habitation is in the sky, in 5 star hotels, and satifies his heart with Jameson, proudly, and Chakolwa Lungu saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?”. Lord answer Zambia as thou has answerd thy people in Zimbabwe.
Awe kwena, staying at home is a very big problem. In and out of the country, would you be surprised if you came back and found you were no longer the President.
How I miss the days of Capt Solo..to wake this Bum up and send one tank to Dead NBC whilst he is in the sky drinking moet with Kaiser and their prozzies on the GRZ Challenger!!
So what do we do?
Zambians learn from Zimbabwe. Otherwise you are stuck with the tourist for good
He was invited period. Haters will Hate
Haters will hate but supporters will also feel the heat of the economy. Tulekanako sometimes….
He was not! Just look next door Tanzanian president is not going but sent a minister
By the way lungu was booed in Zimbabwe!!!!! I hope its doesn’t happen in Kenya again
Kenyans have consistently demonstrated lack of regard for the sacredness of human life. They kill just so they stay in power. That should be a no, no. Bloody Kenya should be isolated. What culture is that? What example is Kenya setting? What legacy is Uhuru establishing? And what sham of an election that was, boycotted by the opposition!
Don’t bring that on this forum Imute wa Kalilo so you want us tell our President not to go Tough. Kenya is for Kenyans, Zimbabwe for Zimbabweans and Zambia for Zambians.
Witness:1 killed at Kenya opposition’s memorial. A witness says one person has been shot dead as Kenyan police try to block opposition supporters from holding a memorial for the dozens of people killed in recent months while protesting President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election.
Apafye pa Kenya apa apepi fye naimwe… lekeni bakateka besu baleya!
Ati nizabwela manje manje.. LoL!
Come on! This is flying bat addiction syndrome! It’s not normal behavior
This President has Nothing to do at ALL!!!
There is cholera in Lusaka ..he is busy lazying about!!
Life is really not fair. Some are flying almost on a daily basis while sipping expensive wine on planes with hefty allowances and poor civil servants’ meagre salaries are delayed. And why should 20 heads of state attend this ceremony??Don’t they have anything to do back home?
I have got friends who avoid going home after work. All the time ni ku bar even pa weekend literally waiting for the bar to open. I suspect there is something wrong at home
Peter Njobvu
Awe boyi,we just like our beer.
UYU K*** NI KAMWENDO MUNJILA ZOONA EH, I LOVE MY PRESIDENT BUT HE IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO BE ON HIS SIDE EACH DAY,
EDGAR LUNGU, IF YOU ARE NOT CLEVER YOU’LL GO THE MUGABE WAY, ZAMBIANS ARE VERY GOOD AT COPY CUT KA, GENERAL MIHOVA WILL KIDNAP?ABDUCT YOU AND IMPOSE HIS OWN CANDIDATE AS OUR PRESIDENT CAUSE MWACHILA BUPUBA, PA LAST YOU’LL END UP EXPOSING US TO UYU CHIMWI KABWALALA CALLED HH.
BAKATEKA PLEASE TEKENI AMATAKO PANSHI INE NAPAPATA PLEASE BCAUSE I WOULD HATE TO END UP WITH CHI HH
No suprises there.. LOL
And some people support these extravagant excursions at the expense of real work. Surely, attending all ceremonies? What’s on ECL’s desk? When does he do anything else in relation to the direction the country should be taking socially, economically and politically? Even within the country, the man never sits down. Tell the country how, if at all, the wealth and resources being generated, are trickling down to the ‘ordinary person’. Where is the country (practically) in terms of policies for manufacturing, agriculture, education and health? Not words that are in the manifesto.
Let him go but why can’t he send someone from his cabinet to represent Him? How many heads of states came during his illegitimate entry at his time?
Too bad.
President Magufuli of Tanzania who cares about his people does not waste tax payers money by attending to anything no. Our president can even attend instalation of a village headman anywhere for as long as he is invited. Why can’t the man deligate the vice president so that he can sit in office at least once since he assumed office? This is the same attitude with some civil servants who only enter their offices to leave jacket hanging off they go.A busy president stays in office to attend to issues affecting his people but
The man doesnt care we can complain all we can and it will fall on deaf ears. I’m happy for the Zambians who year this time last year were sweating away dancing to dununa reverse. Can we see that excitement after the increase in fuel and electricity tarriffs? Dull Zambainas indeed
Mr. President this is now too much. Does it mean that you will be responding to all invitations? Are you the only one among the African Presidents who gets invited? Please save our resources and above all, spend time in the office to plan and manage the country.
HH must be panicking after the outcomes of the Kenya election petition round 2!
Really laughable…the lazy Bum Edgar has absolutely nothing to do that he will follow Uhuru Kenyatta to his motorcade with no shame on his face!!
These are wasted years indeed!!
Since the triumph of PF as an opposition political party in 2011 no opposition political party has won an election in eastern, central and southern Africa. This speaks volume about the opposition in these regions. Just recently the governing party in Angola and Kenya have won the elections to the shame of the opposition
Go Lungu just go represent , Kenya is an economic hub and an important ally of Zambia.Kaunda and Jomo Kenyatta have deep historical links.
This is what becomes of a president when he has a “lab technician” for an advisor. Wisdom is lacking at state house.
Is this guy ever at home?
Some mammals will never witness an inauguration of a president in this capacity.
It is a shame what tribal politics has reduced a party to. With massive development going on, this party will now be in the zoo of archives. Watch this space! They shall die of Hajealousy.
Lungu is trying very hard, at every given chance to earn travel allowances so he tries to cover the money he has stolen , but all investments and assets have time stamps….lung your travell allowances will not cover the stolen money you have
Africa has more than 50 countries. Every year countries will have elections. Mr ECL you cannot attend all inaugurations in Africa. Zambia the third hungriest country in world whose leader spends all the money on flights and allowances for attending inaugurations and ‘learning’ trips. In my heart Edgar you an id#ot. You come from Chawama I do not need to tell you what is wrong in Zambia, you have seen and lived it. You are doing things that you will one day regret you did them. You can change now and lead a meaningful life of service and hope and not otherwise.
Harry Kalaba is giving ECL enough rope to hang himself by allowing him to to this level of thoughtless travelling.It is shameful for a Head of State to have the skies as a residence .
The most useless president Zambia has ever had..Lungu what time do make things better for Zambians if u are ever on the plane u idiot.
Under5: “This is why we have the Commonwealth here to restore our freedoms,” he said.
Really? The Commonwealth thinks there is no freedom in Zambia?
We demand a clarification from the Commonwealth Secretary General. What are your real intentions Baroness Patricia Scotland? You can’t just brush aside or ignore this statement which is very insulting and contemptuous of Zambians.
As of December 1, 2017 Lungu will have spent 211 days travelling!
Thats President Lungu for u. He has more flying hours than most pilots.
Bakamba ati kunvela nsoni ndiye umuntu translated as being shy is humanity. Lungu is as stubborn as a mule. He doesnt listen to advise. When you become intolerable, your advisers tell you what you want to hear for fear of victimization. Lungu is treading on very dangerous ground.It is said that absolute power corrupts and it has really corrupted Lungu. I only hope he doesnt end up like his mentor.
It would help this visiting president if he could learn from what happened to his mentor across the river. He has allowed himself to be too drunk with power that he stops listening to the voices of the people. The day of reckoning always comes. He has forgotten the voter is his employer and every taxpayer in the country funds his presidency. He should have the conscience to ask himself if the majority of his “employers” – the taxpayer approves of the senseless expenditure associated with some of his mindless trips.
