And speaking earlier, Zambia Private Sector Alliance Chairperson Michael Nyirenda called for increased dialogue between government and the private sector.Mr Nyirenda explained that through dialogue, the private sector will contribute in policy formulation and add to the country’s economic growth.
This has to be one of the dullest cabinet ministers in LAZY LUNGU’s cabinet even though he has education papers….if expos have enhanced Zambia’s investment opps you should now which companies have followed through to give us a conversion rate …even give a cost benefit analysis.
How this man still is a minister is beyond me …what has he got on LAZY!!
Chitotela a corruption accused is still a cabinet minister, Presidential affairs minister is Freedom Sikazwe. So in the eyes of Lungu, Yaluma is one of the best brains/saints in his cabinet.
NI MOKO MOKO UYU UMUDALA
You have been using Expos as a scheme to sell land to bogus investors.
Name even one investor who has come into any of these provinces as a direct result of the expo. You are just busy talking about how successful the expos were trying to justify the over K10million spent on each of them but are failing to give us actual facts in terms of investment received.
Comment:Expos good initiative and hoping all investing pledges actualize to the benefit of the country.Thumbs up to the government for this useful initiative.Go Zambia go
