    • Lungu has a affinity for dubious and questionable characters. Now he has even gone the lowest of lows by tapping into fugitives and convicts. I bet he can now smell jail, himself. Abantu bacula muli Lungu!

    • We are decided in Luapula no more PF, its Luapula United, we are not a joke. You buy us out, we get money no big deal.
      Even Davies Mwila is decided, its Luapula United.

    • @Nubia I apologise for my bad language against you. I was just having a bad hour. I sincerely apologise. You are a good woman, just like my mother! Let’s restore the good sense of debate that has been prevalent on this forum, of which you have been a great contributor. You might have just strayed in my firing line, wrong place at the wrong time. Again find space in your heart to forgive me, please.

    • The guy does have court cases pending and now he has been appointed by this lazy man to represent Zambia .Oh my God Zambia has gone to the dogs . The court cases can wait while this man is doing Lungu a service .

    • @Sharon, its not good that you undress your fellow lady @Nubian.

      Luapula United.
      True Democrats!!

  1. The man with corruption tag? Surely there is madness or alcohol influence in appointing Katele Kalumba
    Lungu please at once at least stop embarrassing yourself with such international appointments if I’m from that country I can openly stated this is already rigged elections.

  2. Katele don’t forget to carry your wooden computer with you the one you used to keep yourself hidden from the task force in mbala.

  3. For those Doubting Thomas P.F, cadre’s, heres more evidence widow cash swindling Kapalala -Jona Chakolwa is a Corrupt dishonest brute, who loves hanging around questionable dubious characters like himself, from ex Israeli Leader Olmert, to this hungry thieving cheerleader Wizard Katele within the space of a week.
    This is the vision Jona shows, surround himself with thieves, & normalise dishonesty in the blind eyes of his faithful thicko Cadres.
    HOW ZAMBIA HAS DETERIORATED TO A DUMP, SINCE WE LOST A TRUE HONEST LEADER LIKE MWANAWASA.
    He reduced the corrupt mind & culture, it was even safe to sent items via the post office, coz every corrupt /thieving mind was scared of Prison

  4. if katele is corrupt so is HH. Useless bloggers yapping only stupid and senseless talk. Hatred harms the hater not the one hated. ECL meanwhile is working and will sail through in 2021 with wider margins. We are tired of the cry babies. when we are done with Lungu God will help us to find another leader after all he prefers the foolish things of this world to the wise all knowing and egocentric and narcissistic Economists. God spare Zambia from these.

  5. Funny part is that Zambia never runs short of recycled politicians with nothing to offer apart from wanting a piece of “nchekeleko”. Such appointments are done when one is “politically correct” and a “worthy praise singer” in the eyes of the ruling elite. Politicians are just the same- look at Dora the explorer to cite one example. At one time as MMD she she championed throwing of vomit at PF, today she is deep in the vomit and licking it like vanilla ice. Or Liato who buried the Zambian Kwacha as MMD. Today he’s an active PF mobiliser in Western Province, and I thought he was pardoned from prison because he had a short time to live due to the medical condition he was in! And so the story goes…

  6. Its a pity Katele was convicted, but it doesnt take away the fact that he was a talented Minister of Finance, who fell foul of the law because he was following orders from above.

  7. If you have luapula united, then why can’t there be south united or western or northwest united? That luapula united is regional and tribal. Surprisingly no one refers to it such. Hypocrites!!
