The ruling Patriotic Front (PF) Mayoral candidate for Lusaka Miles Sampa has unveiled his plan of action for the transformation of the city of Lusaka in the first 100 days upon being elected into office.
Speaking at the Party’s interactive Forum at Crismar Hotel in Lusaka this morning, Mr. Sampa stated that the first thing he would do would be to enhance communication between the Council and Lusaka residents by establishing a call centre at the council.
“The way the police have a call centre, that’s how the council will operate to carter for inquiries 24/7. It shall be a full fledged and operational call centre. Not when one is calling, one is greeted with no response. If you find a dead dog on the road, you should be able to call the centre and inform us and we should immediately respond and send someone to clear up the dog,” he said.
Mr. Sampa stated that the second aspect would be to de-congest the roads in Lusaka because the congestion was making business suffer in the CBD because it was increasingly difficult to move from one point to another and that within the 100 day framework, he would come up with a realistic solution to the problem.
Mr. Sampa also announced that the third thing would be to introduce free WiFi in bus stops, at train stations, at the airport and other public places to make electronic communication channels easier for the residents of Lusaka in line with the Smart Zambia that is being encouraged by government.
“When one arrives in Zambia at the airport, there will be free WiFi and one can immediately log in to ones preferred services. Similarly, when one goes to Intercity, there will be free WiFi, so that when one is travelling and one is delayed, it should be possible to log in to free Internet and inform ones relatives of the predicament. There will also be free WiFi at the council premises and many other public places,” he said.
Mr Sampa stated that within the first 100 days, he would also ensure that there is improved health services which should fall under the council. He stated that he would ensure the council health posts are fully functional to carter for the health needs of the residents. Mr. Sampa stated that within the 100 day framework, he would also introduce town hall meetings.
“Every six months, as Mayor, I will be meeting all residents under the town hall meeting scheme, to have one on one meetings. And, we will agree with the councillors that they too have town hall meetings every three months within their wards,” he said.
Within 100 days, Mr Sampa said that he would ensure that the process of issuing of tittle deeds to all houses in Lusaka is done, stating that that a house is a major asset which should enable the owner to access bank loans as houses could be used as collateral for a bank loan, adding that computerisation and valuation of houses would be done
“If your house is not valued, you won’t know its worth and so when you go to a bank seeking a loan using your house as collateral and the bank asks how much your house is worth, and you don’t know, they won’t give you a loan,” he said.
Mr. Sampa also stated that he would look into the improvement and upgrading of markets to allow marketeers to trade in a conducive environment. He stated that he would also move the council from being a red council to a black one which he stated meant taking the council from being a broke council to one that was financially viable through stoppage of revenue leakages.
“I will ensure that all revenues that are due to the council, are collected. And also the correct rates for that matter,” he said.
How will fund the free wifi if basics are not met. Please we are tired of lies from the PF
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
A man who achieved nothing when he was in government.
A man with no principles and no political convictions.
A sebana wikute character.
A failure to the fullest.
He has failed to transform his own life, and today he thinks he can transform a city.
If you find a dead dog on the road, you should be able to call the centre and inform us and we should immediately respond and send someone to clear up the dog.
Please give us this number.
I want to report a dead dog on the road. My friend tells me he knows the name of the dog. I think he said his name was Miles Sampa!
SATA told the Zambian people about this 90 day palaver and they bought it. Go Sampa go , Mushota ‘s uncle. It works. I would actually vote for you!
Look at Sunday Chanda’s eyes, even he doesn’t believe the nonsense from this very unstable man in the name of Miles.
Whether we agree with him or not, but at least the guy has given us his vision. Now, it is up to the residents of Lusaka to hold him accountable. If he is elected and fails to deliver, this should be his first and last Mayoral candidacy…..no more second chances…we had enough of those.
Let’s hear the policy platforms of other candidates too so people can make informed choices on July 26.
LET DEMOCRACY RING, YES, LET DEMOCRACY RING FROM THE DUSTY GROUNDS OF CHIBOLYA TO THE MANICURED LAWNS OF NEW KASAMA. LET DEMOCRACY RING. LET DEMOCRACY….AND WHEN WE LET IT RING…. EVERYBODY WINS! (A take on the great speech by Rev. Martin L. King. still resonates today.)
If you want changes to our City …do not vote in PF or Sampa, they will take it an approval vote to continue with the mediocrity.
People like Yambayamba above would not tell you that as he would rather sit on the fence whilst he dishes out three vague paragraphs with quotes.
Mbandu-Killer was part of M. Sata PF00Lish campaign team that promised more money in our pockets in 90 days, eradicate youth unemployment & that they would rule based on 10 commandments & chase away tu ma Chinese.
2,000 Days later Zambians have no money & a huuuge debt, a collapsed economy, our desperate jobless youths are dying under collapsed black mountain & called Scavengers, we have a corrupt den of thieves in Govt looting treasury empty, & now have millions of tu ma Chinese ra.ping our minerals & mukula trees.
People who vote for such characters needs to have their heads examined.
Politicians ubufi…..pathetic liars
Ok Mr. “KNOW IT ALL”, aka @Jay Jay, so who should people vote for since you seem to have the MAGIC CRISTOBAL to look into and able to foretell the future. Tell us Mr. Magic Man! Who is the SAVIOR MAYOR Lusaka has been waiting for since us FALIABLE HUMANS can’t tell.
By the way, are you yourself on the ballot? Let me know. I might convince a few relatives in Lusaka to vote for. Who knows, maybe you will be able to translate your energy of @rap talking into something useful. @Chilufya Tayali likes to yap too, but at least he tried to channel his energy into something real.
C’mmon @Jay Jay, let us roll. Surely, you can’t be this mad at everything and everyone while sitting on the sidelines. Throw your hat into the ribg and let us see what you made of bro.
Miles Sampa is tslking as though he is talking to kids or fools. He is using the same lies politicians bring during election campaign. I foresee problem in Lusaka should people make a mistake to vote Miles with empty promises. Of all the things he has talked about he will only achieve digging new graves on top others not all that trash. A genuine person wouldn’t just wake up and say within three months I will decongest Lusaka without explaining how you will do that. He has also used 100 days slogan that we have heared before. The 90 days of his patriotic front todate has failed to do a tangeable thing. The champion of 90 days hallucination even went further to publicly declare that he had no vision but follows Sata vision. Who the hell is Miles Sampa to change Lusaka and offer free wifi…
You forgot the bullet train Miles. One that can cut the journey time travel from Matero to Town to 3 seconds. We want to here more of your empty promises. After all, this will be a walk over for you mate. Since the majority of the voters are stupid, forgetful, illiterate etc. With the PF militia in police uniform at your disposal, HH doesn’t stand a chance
Myles sees visions he needs a psychiatriast or psychologist. What a hell is he talking about?
Lusaka voters Demand for how? Candidates should tell us how they are going to building two story grave yards.
This proves that Africans are generally doomed; like it or not. We are our own worst enemy. A simple cursory glance at the caliber of the candidates, reveals a lack of a track record of leadership excellence. Non of them would be considered if these political parties operated a system of meritocracy. They’re are all as useless as a tissue paper; good for nothing apart from wiping ones bottom, period.
An election campaign pledge or promise is NOT a plan. Free wi fi, ooph is this a priority of residents? Miles Sampa is no different from that commander of thugs from intercity bus terminus.
@David you have really cracked my ribs. Ala wansekesha kkkkkhahahakkkkk
Look at Yambayamba “I am a big VIP boss to waste time on blogging” dishing out he usual three paragraphs of nothing…in his utterly flawed mindset like Lazy Lungu is that if you are critical of us then join politics and form a political party to challenge us not knowing that am already a stakeholder by virtual of being a taxpayer and a citizen.
People should vote for anyone BUT your PF/MMD candidate …you are an “educated” man go figure….I doubt have to use crayons to direct you!!!
I will
I will. ..
I will…
Iwill ..be like God. Familiar with these words. ? The fall of lucifer
People struggling to buy pamelaz and kapenta and you talking about WIFI
This contest is full of upcoming comedian s
Miles is crazy do not risk trusting his fake promises. I only agree with him on one thing, he will dig more graves instead of more health centres. He wants more people to die in order to fill those graves. He is talking like indoshi.
There we go again, the usual PF slogan of lies. What is WIFI on an empty stomach? You failed as a minister and you think you can bluff your way thru Zambians let us change our voting patterns and not just go with people that have dununad the economy in reverse.
There is no such thing as free wifi even at JKIA ..it was only available to transit passengers for a maximum of 2 hours then pay after…remember these costs are incorporated in the air fare ticket cost.
This fooolish boy Sampa will talk about everything apart issues that affecting you….
Moreover provision of WIFI has nothing to do with LCC but National Airports Corporations which they have probably planned for as KKIA will be open 24/7.
PF knows Zambians are a docile people easy to foooool with trinkets
Oh yea: why don’t you give us WIFI right now and then on Election Day we will consider your request. Who do you think we are bafunies???…go to hell with your WIFI….you are a rif raf…
“If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders.”
George Carlin
Zambians, why don’t you come up with your own sayings that we can adopt after you own name? We are tired of people quoting sayings by foreigners only.
If he achieves half of what he says then he is tge an for the Job. Besides he has put cleat benchmarks for us to measure him by
You are as dull as he is …surely does LCC manage airports? How can you have a 24/7 call centre when you have no refuse trucks to come and pick rubbish….continue wallowing in your own filth.
Wake up from your docility!!!!!
THOSE ARE TOTAL FALSEHOODS FROM A BATCH OF CRIMINALS . WHOM ARE YOU TELLING THESE LIARS , STOP TELLING THE PEOPLE LIARS MR SAMPA . YOU CANT DO THESE THINGS IN 100 DAYS , IN ZAMBIA , THE CIVIC AUTHORITIES ARE TOTALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL . JUST LOOK AT THE REVENUE WHICH IS COLLECTED AT THE INTER BUS TERMINAL AND BUS STATIONS IN LUSAKA, THE MONEY IS COLLECTED BY THOSE PF THUGS , MONEY WHICH IS SUPPOSE GO INTO THE CITY COUNCIL CONFERS BUT IT ENDS IN THE POCKETS OF THOSE PF THUGS AS THEY ARE GIVEN POWERS BY THE PF PARTY OFFICIALS , THEN YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU WILL BOOST THE REVENUE COLLECTION . STOP TELLING LIARS . ZAMBIA IS BEING RULED BY THIEVES
Sampa knows he will win…he can promise you anything he can dream of..
From double decker cemeteries to free WiFi. We want free water and toilets. We have had enough free cholera and typhoid. Just piss off if you have no idea of what we want. Free WiFi to access what? All free media is being blocked. Scumbags!
Sampa is merely there to perpetuate the current theft…don’t expect any changes he is a tool for corruption like that mute lazy dingbat in State House.
highly attainable goals from my point of view.
Dildos believe anything Kaili
Blind Dildo “point of view”?
YOU ARE A MAN WITH NO INTEGRITY , FROM PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO MAYOR , IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES , U CANT GET A SINGLE VOTE AS PEOPLE WILL LOOK AT YOU AS SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE WANTS IN LIFE .
Sampa has been handpicked by the same thieves who picked that tool Lazy Lungu…am sure he has been forewarned about the bleak future he was going to face outside PF before he came back crawling on fours, he can not talk about touchy subjects like Street Vending, Kaponyas running markets and Bus stations, Traffic lights, road contracts, land reforms as PF has already cut deals in them ….if Sampa plays smart and ignores the crooks they have dirt on him.
And people wonder why we never develop..the answer is right in your faces.
If the council is broke as you say it is , where will you get the money for all that in 100 days ? Borrow from China ?
Lies and more lies.
Its pointless having fully fledged and operational call centre when you dont have the services on the ground…this dull boy thinks Customer Services is merely about answering phones.
Why am I even reading this? You are delayed at intercity waiting for the bus to Lundazi to see my relatives, you assume my relatives in the village will have internet? Cow dung thinking.
It is a walkover. We have no opposition with substance. All they are about is tribal opposition to people who are not like them and not on policy. They will never rule in Zambia for a long time unless they change. What HaJayJay, HaSpakata and Nose Demon rant is the glimpse into the mind of HH and UPND. Make no mistake that is a true representation of their gathering. They are a joke to the status that Zambia had been accorded by Africa. Go away, tribal group!
The shame and agony will be to lose to a Prodigal son.
Go and change your underwear….
The word ‘Ambitious’ and Miles Sampa certainly go together. He’s always wanted to be a clown and he’s doing really well. Hope this chap loses so he can finally reach his level as a commerce teacher in secondary school.
He can never lose…just look at the heavy weights following him around…these people are selling council plots like fish!!
Priorities yama! You cant talk about free WIFI when the council is incapable of delivering basic services such as garbage collection..
HH is buying land in Namwala like fish and mabishii! (So far , not less than 1,000 hectares)
Samoa is on cloud nine and I would like to be with him.
There is no water in Materol some roads incroched rubbish not collected I was of the idea ending pit lateen toilet
I have no problem with Miles’ dreams except when he starts dreaming that the KKIA is within the jurisdiction of the City of Lusaka. My last check was that the airport is in Chongwe and I stand to be corrected if this is to the contrary. If it is in Chongwe, then Miles is NOT FIT TO BE THE MAYOR, lest tomorrow he will end up directing LCC employees to collect rates from Lafarge Cement.
LCC has no jurisdiction whatsoever in running KKIA even if it was located in the town center…this is how these leaders think of you as dull docile sheep
All the chiefs in Namwala follow HH because he gives them change and in return? Land. Other chiefs in that “land” follow him too.
I dont like Miles because men like these have no integrity; they stand for nothing, but he is a clever guy with some good ideas. He did well as a Matero MP and always tried to empower youths.
You also have to remember he was the democratically elected PF leader, he is the one who should have been in state house. The Leader of PF now was not properly elected.
Free wifi ukaifumya kwisa Kilometers, landako fimbi like free Zodwa wabantu which is at least achievable
Iwe Sampa that MOU for free WIFI has been signed and it was spearheaded by Mwamba from South Africa, now you are telling us that it is you who will bring free WIFI nishi mubepela ba Sampaoli.
In Denmark there is free WIFI in public places that is provided by the Councils. Though the idea is okay, the big question is as follows; Is the provision of WIFI and a call center the first priority, on the scale of preference for the Lusaka Residents at the moment? We just had a Cholera outbreak and we may have it once more. Further more there are other serious issues than WIFI and Call centers, that are affecting the Lusaka residents generally and that is what you should look at iwe Sampa.
Isn’t this the same dude who when he was Deputy Minister of Finance struck the Euro Bonds deals which are creating a financial volcanic eruption in the Country. Let him first account for the Euro Bonds mess. “Balancing the best brains” so said one MCS. Are these the best brains?
Kapalala Kilometers Sampa.
Political migrant in search of looting opportunities. Need for fresh brains.
But Zambians, we are a cursed lot and fools.
No priorities – and so the stupid residents of Lusaka will once again buy into Miles’ stupidity and vote for him as Mayor.
Zambia – my beloved country.
What did we do wrong to have such a curse such we continue to vote for such degenerates??
Sampa is clueless , when he was at finance or was it trade he kept telling us that imports of chickens had ceased only for nkombo to keep smuggling into parliament imported from SA bought at shopright.
He was oblivious to what was being imported or exported.
Well said Hon.Miles Sampa!!It is very clear that you have a splendid plan for Lusaka City.PLUS THESE ARE REAL POLITICIANS WHO MARKET THEMSELVES USING IDEAS UNLIKE HH WHO ENCOURAGES UPND CADRES TO CAUSE VIOLENCE!!!Politics is about competing with ideas and not violence bo Kainde!!
We believe Mr Miles Sampa because he delivered whatever he promised Matero residents when he served them as area MP recently.All what Mr Sampa is talking about above very much possible for a seasoned hard worker like Mr Sampa!!
WE SHALL SURELY GIVE YOU A SOUNDING VICTORY HON.SAMPA ON 26/07/2018 SO THAT YOU CAN IMPLEMENT YOU NICE PLAN FOR LSK!!!
Mmmmm…..ba 6.5 , ati splendid plan ?
group C in class, z this a development Bwino? talk about how u can make Lsk clean .
Great plans but he should also address the poor living conditions in the slums of Lusaka. For starters, this can’t be achieved within 100 days because of over half of the population in Lusaka and other urban cities where citizens still live in slums. What about the declining educational standards in government schools in Lusaka where credible and good teachers are no longer interested in their jobs? Whichever party wins, they have a lot to think about, I don’t envy the prospective mayors.
Me I ll only vote for a guy who ll promise to remove pf cadres from our stations starting with intercity commando and mafia teams, markets and plots allocation. This executed then you have my vote
Osward spot on you are and this guy should ensure that all Zambians regardless of their political inclinations will be allowed to trade in the markets without victimization. The removal of PF cadres (there no cadres from other political parties in public markets and bus stations) is the first priority. Council revenue lands in pockets of cadres. One wonders what is so difficult in removing these cadres from such places
His uncle Sata gave you more money in your pockets in 90 Days, He is gonna give NEW TOILETS in Goerge, Kanyama, Chawama, Misisi, Chibolya, John Lange, John Howard, Cook (By the way, who was Lange, Howard, George and Cook?). NEW TOILETS SAMPA
Even Sunday Chanda was shocked to hear their candidate hallucinating. I can read Sunday Chanda’s eyes. He was more shocked because not even president Lungu can make such empty promises.
Miles Sampa, we need to hear that within 100 there will be no gabbage in the city of Lusaka you will buy gabbage trucks to ensure the city is clean. What you are proposing is total rubish and madness. We do not need fake promises we want you to talk about real issues stop joking Miles.
Hon. Sampa, you deserve to be supported but stop giving unrealistic time frames. You sound ambitious and could run the council profitably as a business. Collect revenue from the mushrooming casinos. The gamblers have invaded the city and have money to throw around. I like the decentralization idea of LCC. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) approach is achievable.
Good luck and God Bless You.
“Mr. Sampa stated that the first thing he would do would be to enhance communication between the Council and Lusaka residents by establishing a call centre at the council.“
This is what I would like to hear; how he was going to enforce the laws of the city, oversees a city’s main department, police, fire, education, housing and transportation instead of dead dogs in the streets.
i give this young man credit for telling us what he wants to do in 100 days; but i don’t support his high rise graves which I have seen somewhere; he should start with removal of all garbage and general cleannes; he should tell us about ending slums; but is this not the same PF which burnt his Metero taxis? LT; tell us what others have promised and not just about Miles;
Someone has a job more money in the pocket go collect the dead dog boss no transport no fuel no gloves no place to throw the dog no mask for smelly dog no hygiene soap to wash hands this to pick up one dog he can see$$$$$$$
High rise graves. Is he thinking of mausoleums? Does he know how culture cannot support that? High rise, high rise, what the heck is he smoking. Is he trying to start his own pyramids in Zambia? Does he know how much we fear death in Zambia? Ku Zambia kwaliba ifiwa. Tell Sampa to stop smoking that stuff.
Hebrews 2:14,15
Free WiFi? I thought Emmanuel mwamba brought his friends from SA to offer the same. The country has really gone to dogs
Sunday Chanda’s facial looks more like, “twakuleta kuno elyo watampa ukulanda efyo tushachumfwana naiwe boyi” Lol!!
Bottom line is ba kilometre has done his part. LT give us info on what other candidates are proposing.
Free things do not value to anybodies life .Even in countries were WIFI is supposedly provided free of charge, the cost is somehow recovered indirectly .
just because Miles left UPND doesn’t mean he has no integrity. Even if he achieve 50% of his objectives he will have done well. Dont you understand that he has a choice to join and leave your party? Oh thanks for the gesture of your president building a school in Namwala. I have never heard of him being this generous. He is growing well like red wine not mabisi. I sincerely salute him (HH). One Zambia…. I LOVE MILES SAMPA and wish him the best
This is very tragic for Lusaka residents I feel sorry for you!!!! Non of these so called candidates is going to bring an end to the outbreak of Cholera in Lusaka!!!!!! Very sad people, Zambia is officially a joke of a country….
Go for it Miles,you are on track but just remember you will be held accountable,hence, you must ensure that you deliver on your promises.Dont be distracted by the Pull Him Downs.At the least, You have my vote!
The liar who Quickly cooked up another vision after his high rise grave yard story didn’t go down as well as planned…
Well Mr Sampa, the president has advised against borrowing. How on earth are you going to do all that with no freakin’ money?! In 100 freakin’ days?! You are not living in Switzerland!
Miles Sampa there’s a dead cat on Nangwenya road. Direct the council to clear it right now. We want to test your leadership
Prodigal son will beat the hell out of Three Mansions Party.
Lusaka is a “marabo”. Soon the rain season will be on us. The filth from Bauleni, Kanyama, city market will be on us. Lusaka development is shopping malls and the millions are pushed in neglect. When will it be day light for Zambians? Politics is about service delivery, good living conditions for the citizens. 50 years on, people cant access clean water, sanitation still use indrai. Who is to blame? Not politicians but docile Zambians.
