    • He commissioned corruption and plundering of resources. Uubomba mwibala alya mwibala should be implemented at all costs otherwise you risk being fired if you speak against corruption. Congratulations Mr President, you encouraged your ministers and Ps to steal while those who gathered to sing for you went with nothing but little chibuku they drunk.

    • “Ubomba mwibala alya mwibala ” This is how criminals boast. Lungu you have confessed that you are bandit number 1 in Zambia.Nansoni ulibe

    • Then why are they harassing PILATO with death threats? Lungu himself has confirmed it himself: He is a thief, a Koswe Mu Mpoto.

      “Ubomba mwibala alya mwibala” said Lungu as he instructed his followers to loot/steal/corrupt/plunder.

    • Thanking you for wasting taxpayer’s funds on campaigning everywhere for three days and interfering with municipal councils work as he has lamentably failed to do his work!!

  1. “The president who boarded the presidential challenge was seen off at the airport by defence chiefs, senior government and party officials.”

    Nomba aba ba service chiefs linchi bakonkafye ukywa indeke ya kwa kateka?

    Ifi ifyo ba kateka ba Trumpu beta ati ifyalo fya ku mput1 nagula muchinsungu ati sh1thole countries.

  2. Lungu

    U not very bad only that u are weak and the current political system and governance itself is from top to bottom system and that requires too much work.

    Lungu u might be corrupt but the most corrupt guys are your ministers who have taken advantage of your weak leadership. Unless the governance system is changed, no president can manage to control things in zambia. U too small Lungu in the scheme of things in zambia

    • Lungu said every decision made whether by PF or government is made by him so he is not as weak as you place him to be. If you are going to allege corruption, don’t partition it, it is all squarely to him and not what you are saying.

  3. Thank you Mr.President. But allow your opponents also to freely move on the copperbelt and interact with the masses the way you did do not block them through Bowan Lusambo.

  4. The immoral and abusers in education sector are whispering among themselves , ” our fellow abuser Koswe has endorsed the chalk bonus” practice. The abusers attebded his meetings on the C/B. Shame

  5. Jeez LT, you have now become extension of the State House propaganda machine… your relentless fascination with Lungu is now even worse that of ZNBC. Lungu this, Lungu that on a daily basis, you are the ones who make this guy think like he is a god who is untouchable. Give it a break for once; how about you tell us about what happened to those conjoined twins, how is their recovery going?

    This country will never develop if politicians, especially those in power are viewed as if they are the alpha and omega, the modern day ‘wamuyaya’. You need to inspire kids and help praises on ordinary citizens who do extraordinary deeds that actually make a difference in everyday people. You as an enlightened blog should lead the way and stop this monotonous coverage of corrupt Lungu and his…

  6. Facts ::: 1/2 of zambias wealth externalised…..1/4er of the other half lost to local pf corruption , the other 1/4 is used by PF to keep lungu is power…..what buildings you see is from borrowed money and merciless taxation of zambians….

  7. Why does ECL not visit Southern,Western and North Western Province as often as he does the Copperbelt? Is it a confirmation that there are no development projects in these areas or the Copperbelt is no longer a PF stronghold? Kambwili and his NDC have put the last nail in the coffin of NDC. Kambwili will not be the winner in 2021 but he is definitely a destroyer of the PF. After all only a few hundred more votes than 2018 are required for HH TO BEAT ECL IN 2021.Despite the arrogance PF is not a popular or mass Governing party.YES ECL will thank everyone wherever his Challenger takes him because the end is visible.

  9. “President Edgar Lungu has thanked the people of Copperbelt province for having given him an opportunity to interact with them during his three day working visit to the province.”

    I don’t see where the President interacted(act in such a way as to have an effect on another; act reciprocally) with a future leaders like student from Copperbelt university, high school students even taking questions from the media. Nothing was mentioned about Pilato leaving the country because of death threats.

    Actions speak louder than words.

  10. Ba koswe munpoto gathered to discuss how to ukulya mwibala. At the time when bakoswe were busy discussing how to invade the fields we are told his children also took the helicopter without permission for a weekend to Zambezi lower tagged with friends to drink expensive beer. There is no big difference with FTJ’s children. Today FTJ’s children are being prosecuted for stealing phones.

  11. Mr President thank you very much for your visit, all I can say is that continue with this well planned program and do it quickly to all parts of the nation, don’t forget the revisits

  12. Can someone summarize for us the key achievements of the President’s visit to CB? What development issues have been tackled. What identified problems were addressed and solutions found for the way forward. Any new policy directions for the CB, etc… Out here we didn’t get any points from the media.

  13. Certain things can be done by remote mode and some things are better done in person. When the president visits, it qualifies the fact that it is his program and secondly removes the element of doubt as to whether what he is being told is the actual on the ground. More over that’s what the opposition wanted for the President to be doing when they criticized his movements outside the country. Who can stop the people from doing that which excites them if not the law, which ECL follows keenly. Thank you for welcoming the Republican President.

  14. Pink Toe the question is what did he accomplish rather than just shouting at people and speaking to them like kids. His messages in the copperbelt were not presidential, he also was there just to meet cadres which is very immature for a man who is supposed to be a president for all, but he was busy trying to be divisive
