    • PF leadership, we need to advise correctly. The electorate have a bitter taste in the mouth after 20 years of MMD idiocy and plunder.
      These MMD appointments can cost us a victory in 2021.

    • So miles sampa (former/official president of PF) is still a threat to Edgar,,., Edgar is stil afraid of him,,, I thought as reconciliation miles was at least going to given lucky mulusa ‘s post.
      Now to my bro @ Nostradamus, wa mona ka, you keep talking about reconciliation and forgiveness,,,,. Edgar doesn’t forgive, unless you are a drinking mate.

    • On Mawere: useless minister for important ministry.
      On Chinteme is good for Kambwili
      On Lusambo: excellent appointment. But embrace for FIFA burn.
      Mbesuma for 2021, Weah mania!!!

    • @Ndobo, indeed legitimate PF president Sampa deserved ministry of National Planning, like Mutati.
      I don’t see anything in Moses Muwerewere.

    • There is no money in Ministry of Sports, those Woodland Stadium deals?
      A loss for Lusambo, win for CB. Jubilation at KMB.

  1. Comment:ema rubbish aya.government is now full of Bootlickers.what type of government is this?y have u left Dora siliya (solution) coz she has done nothing.

    • what genuine constructive advice can the King Rat get from a self – confessed bootlicker?? The reasoning from the appointing authority is that he would rather accommodate a bootlicker that a principled man who refused to be party to the plunder of national resources by the cabal of thieves in the ruling class. Typical cheap politics of kleptocracy!

    • He can do that later – there is a vacancy there. Probably he is about to fire another Minister.

  2. Its great to have Lusambo elsewhere other thsn being a provincial minister of such an important province. Nomwela wapita mumikoti.

  3. We saw it coming for this bootlicking mongrel. Those Chinese (choncholis) he ordered to report to his office are well connected. Am sure he has learnt a lesson from this demotion

  4. RBs stone thrower is what lungu calls a minister ??

    Lungu And his corruption has destroyed Zambia.

  5. “The petition by four PF members demanded that that stern action to be taken against Mr Mulusa who was a nominated Member of Parliament.
    The Petitioner also requested that a Commission of Inquiry be instituted in order to establish whether the statement or action about 42 Fire trucks by Mr Mulusa could be prosecuted.”

    These leaders we have today are heartless thieves, they are more worried about a statement than the actual cost of the Fire Trucks…I can only imagine what they are stealing through unpublicized Defence Contracts.
