This Lungu has really lowered the presidency in this country. He can’t send another person, even a minister to campaign for a council chairperson in Chipata district. And some id1ots are clapping and dancing that Lungu is poor, humble and working hard. Zambia is full of id1ots who can even celebrate fecal matter.

There he goes again. Tasks that can be undertaken by any of all those appointees he makes. In any case, how is this a working visit when the programme is to campaign for PF candidates? Working visit is for government duties not partisan politics.

He just returned from a self-egoistic and I am sure self-aggrandizement trip to Turkey. Before then he was all over on these ‘working visits’. Whats with all this ‘continuously on the move’ governance? Meanwhile, his finance minister is waffling about debt and austerity. Controversial land and contract awards are being ‘dished out’. Energy tariffs are going up etc. How about a press conference to ‘set the direction of the country and record straight’? How about actually sitting down on a chair, sofa, bench and answering some questions?
