    • There are no solutions in Turkey.

      Turkey itself is in economic crisis.

      Whatever dodgy deals this government is involved in will come to light soon.

      In the meantime, this totally unnecessary trip will cost the tax payer a small fortune.

    • Zambia is very hard to understand…towards the end of RBs reign he had engaged the Turks with regards investing in Zambia and a LOT of meetings took place to bring in investors …. from there we only saw the Turkish school in Ibex and fuk brick making company not sure if these are real value investments …. now what will Inonge bring ???? With the world this open do u need to go and try to convince investors ? Investors with real appetite will actively seek places to investment …what do embassy people do in these places kanshi ? I thought ZDA engages these guys for such to continually market Zambia

    • This is part of the article.
      “He said the Vice President will also be a guest at a meeting organised by the Turkish business community to discuss possible investment opportunities in Zambia.”

  1. Another waste of time…in the last 2 months Lazy flew to Ankara, the dictator visited Zambia now this Old Hen Inonge is going to woo investors…what a joke!!

    • It is jealousy Hagain! Lazybum tribalist hooligan bully son of a polygamist tribal father who never brought him up with manners is barking Hagain. It will never be president.

  2. ECL was in Turkey only last month and was stated as below;

    “Mr Malanji said President Lungu’s visit to Turkey is of paramount importance to Zambia as it will strengthen relations and trade between the two countries”

    The VC is also going there for bilateral talks, investment opportunities bla, bla, bla… You need both of them to travel to Turkey for basically the same vague issues? How much resources are being expended on these constant trips?

  3. Wastage of gvt resources.remember that is tax payer’s money you are using!!! One day you will be accountable for these stupid trips.
