Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo has urged Zambians to strive to get a share of the country’s wealth.
Mr Lusambo said it is disheartening to note that despite Zambia being endowed with vast resources, majority of citizens are not benefiting.
He said the PF Government is determined to distribute the national resources equally in line with the Seventh National Development Plan which seeks not to leave anyone behind.
Mr Lusambo said there is need for Zambians to be aggressive and take advantage of the opportunities that government is creating to create wealth.
The Lusaka Province Minister who is also Kabushi Member of Parliament was speaking in Ndola this morning when he addressed congregants at Bread of Life Ndola.
“Zambia is a blessed country. We have plenty of resources which we should all share. We have a rich nation and there is no excuse for us to continue suffering,” Mr Lusambo said.
“We have our foreigners who come here with handbags and suitcases and leave with trunks of Dollars. Where do they get all that money from? It’s from this same country which goes to show that Zambia is not poor,” he said.
Mr Lusambo also implored the Church to continue working closely with the Government in the development process of the nation.
He said the Church and the Government are all serving the same constituency of the people.
Mr Lusambo observed that the Church should be included in the proposed national dialogue process.
Amen!
The voice of self confessed bootlicker
I don’t mean to sound negative but this is a mockery coming from Mr. Lusambo. He and his colleagues have made sure that they amass all the wealth for themselves through corruption at the expense of the rest of the population.
Hon Lusambo, I call you this today with respect. I have always critised your politics but its good to give credit where it is due. You are now playing politics that benefit Zambians just hoping you will continue on this path.
Really laughable…anyway its Sunday its time to pretend to be holy and dupe the docile foooooooooools
How when your government policies have no empowerment programs for Zambians. All you are doing is giving road tenders to foreigners so that you get kick backs. Zambians you have left to languish in poverty. No jobs, not even a program to create them. No programs to empower Zambian businesses. Nothing. And now you are fooling us
This man will become president before Delusionals Dictator HH. Democracy is nothing but appealing to the masses and Bowman has that appeal.
The same can’t be said about The Delusionals Dictator no matter how many qualifications or how he tries to act presidential or how many times his Delusional Sheeples address him as president.
They talk of sharing yet they are sat without shame on large comfortable sofas in the front row…even Trump in the US never sits on sofas …what wrong with normal chairs??
What share?
Talk is cheap…. look who’s talking . easier said than done….you politicians are greedy bastaaads
But people will still walk out from that laughable building called church and think Bowman is a very wise man even though they know the man was no one two years ago today he is very rich with houses with swimming pools
Churches are the biggest thief’s taking millions from the people of Zambia through brain washing.
good example is the Catholic church vast wealth and pays no tax and the funds go back to the Vatican and the priests and brothers are pedophiles. other churches just as bad.
Who do you blame for that? Blame yourselves for your stupidity and docility!!
Silly politicking and trying to sound reasonable, one way citizens would benefit from the National wealth is by supporting their education and healthcare. Here we are with Lusambo and his gang scrapping meal allowances and insuring that other universities or students will never have access to it. Is not really taking people for granted when the chap talks like that and acts differently in parlianment?
This is a true id1ot, very shallow thinking, 0IQ
So says a guy whose enriching himself from the moon an back … coz clearly we are living in a different Zambia
Did he mention that you should strive by going to and working hard in school, on land or at whatever it is you are legitimately doing? Or He forgot that part right?
Only stating the obvious without offering any real solutions. Perhaps the reporters missed the key point.
Amen , especially the money borrowed for projects.let it stay in Zambia through giving Zambian companies 60 percent not that 20 percent that never even adds up to the project amount.
You are wishfully thinking ..Do you know what EXIM Bank terms and conditions are …you have a poor credit rating to borrow on the market because you are reckless…MMD left a good credit rating but was destroyed by PF in 5 years.
How can this lump of **** called Bowman talk of wealth sharing when students meal allowances have been banned and these fooooools have increased their salaries even backdating it …..his lazy boss has even bought a jet for himself.
I’m confused, does he mean we should also join in the plunder of our national wealth?
What do you expect this is govt that lets its ministers like Bowman go to China accommodated and bankrolled by Chinese for two weeks, reward them with gifts not even a properly run company would agree to that let alone a govt as there is something called code of conduct. I mean what do you think Bowman is going to when the Chinese state applying for tender.
Going by Lusambo, s confession, Kambwili must have been right in some sense regarding his confrontational engagement with the Indian guy
It is that thing again, it really disgusts me.
You disgust me too, childish!
You disgust me too, childish!
#3.1 Jay Gay “Blame yourselves for your stupidity and docility!!”
Trib.al, the trouble is that you suggest that we should have voted for your Tfib.al Hacks. Sorry trib.al Jay Gay, anything even ci Lusambo, is better than your trib.als.
#13.1 & 13.2 Script, of course I know that trib.al!!
The Number 1 process for participating in Zambian National Wealth is by getting a job. We can own copper in the ground, but wealth participation requires that we are part of the process for digging the copper out of the ground, processing it through the refinery and sending it for sale to the rest of the world to earn foreign exchange to buy medicines, mining equipment, cars, clothes, and anything which we do not produce. This means we need to attain the education and skills required to do the processing. Otherwise we are not entitled to the money. It has always been about the process of processing assets and never been about ownership of assets. One of these days Africans will wake up an know the processing steps to develop their own resources.
Talk should match works otherwise it’s just noise.Start by boosting the lower classes first before the fat cats
