President Edgar Lungu is today expected to travel to Kenya where he will attend that country’s trade fair.
Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Malanji says it is important for the President to attend the event because it will enhance regional trade.
Mr. Malanji has told journalists at a media briefing in Lusaka that the head of state is also expected to hold bilateral talks with his Kenyan counterpart Uhuru Kenyatta.
He said President Lungu will be accompanied by Commerce Minister Christopher Yaluma and is expected back on Wednesday July 17th, 2019.
ECL.. Hello madam Mwanankatwe how are you please call me back asap.
MM.. Mr President surprised what is the problem ?
Margret ..I think bola yakosa. Sales tax issue is chasing away investors, so we have to look for a solution.
MM… Awe ba president I know that for a fact that is why I have been postponing implementation becoz I know it is confusing for everybody including me.
ECL… I think solution apa is to employ someone else to get rid of it so that we all don’t look like we do not know what we are doing as I defended it in the first place.
MM… Thank you so much for letting me go this whole economy is a mess. Now I can enjoy my castle stress free.
ECL.. I Understand Margret by the way Jameson is coming in next week I will let you know ..
Lungu loves being at KKIA he just had to go to Kenya on flimsy excuse.At least he should go learn from Kenya’s new 12 lane expressways and their new 500km high speed railway.
You mean learn how to enhance voter suppression from the mother of tribalism and corruption?
If one objectively schemed Chagwa’s manoeuvres, one will see that he is laying out a plan by learning from tyrannical leaders who’ve become his friends.
Look at him trying to welcome Sise of Egypt who cancelled last minute, then Mnangagwa and it was Kabila who was invited with a return favour of Chagwa going to DRC under the subterfuge of the ex head of state fathers’s funeral.
Chagwa can’t go to countries such as Rwanda, Botswana, Tanzania, Namibia, Angola, Mozambique, Mali, Senegal, Mauritius etc. All those countries in Africa performing well and uridine their resources well, are not on Chagwa’s list of friends to visit.
One can read this Chagwa chap like a book. He wants enjoy, he…
One can read this Chagwa chap like a book. He wants enjoy, he is a play boy after all, chap told us he’d no plan.
This is an example of a man that likes to go visiting other people’s houses yet those visits are not reciprocated.
What came out of those visits to Turkey, Russia, Israel etc. etc. ?
Lungu loves to waste tax payers money.
And yet this potato can not even pay civil servant salaries. Schools do not have desks, children are dying in hospitals because of lack of medicine. CBU has been closed indefinitely. The list is long.
Easily the worst president we have had by a large distance.
Totally useless.
Whathe fuuuck!???? I thought it was the drunk Kenyan president who is coming, unfortunately its the drunk Zambian entourage GOING?
He just been good for 2 day, after the petty cabinet reshuffle, and already messed up by annoying travel.
The tourist president. Loving his private jet that has does not deserve.
Every week its at the airport thats Lazy Lungu for you…he will come back looking for an excuse to spend a weekend away…what an absolutely lazy bum he is!!
He should also learn about the reconciliation between Uhuru and Odinga..so that he does it with HH..
Trust me, he won’t listen to Dr Bwalya Ngandu’s professional guidance on the need for fiscal discipline! We can’t achieve fiscal health without fiscal discipline and restraint from the top! Why is Magufuli not going and why is it that only him has to visit every country? What has Zambia achieved in helping other countries gain independence apart from Xenophobia from the same countries we helped? We are not saying he should not travel but he needs to begin to mind his own business back home and delegate or decline some of these invitations! Sending technocrats to these events makes more sense and works well for Austerity!
The man is extremely lazy and irresponsible as far as he is concerned he has done his job by appointing Ngandu now he can send him to IMF so he can simply tour!!
Uyo Chakolwa ever the State House playboy ayenda futi, leaving a country grappling with Corruption Nepotism, stagnation & extremely high inflation.
While he’s at it, he will have his usual lazy tarmac “press conferences” with a hangover headache from the night before.
When we say lungu is always travelling earning all these allawances so when the time comes for him to account for his sudden wealth, he can point to these allawances……..
That trick will not work lungu.
He has already started frustrating the new finance minister by unnecessary trips.
To him its business as usual fr the komboni man…this is a simple minded Chawama man!!
Here we go again globe trotting for nothing.Zambians remeber that Esther went USA to beg for those second hand fire engines .How many of those fire egines have arrived in Zambia and are putting off fires in Zambia .This financial indesipline of unimaginable proportion
Please do not get frustrated with our travelling President who spends more time in the air than on the ground, that Presidential jet needs to be used, it can not just sit on the tarmac. It is costing us tax payers $30,000 per month.
I hope my country folks in Zambia will remember to vote wisely so as to put an end to all this nonsense
that jet don’t run on air and the whole group of him travelling is a lot of money that’s wasted. he could have sent the commerce minister and the guys from the embassy in Nairobi.
ubututu ka and laziness ka lungu
The austerity measures are being implemented selectively. It’s the animal farm scenario. All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.
