  1. Lunngu should’ve gone to Tokyo straight from India to save $$$. Its telling too that he didn’t even attend the last TICAD 2016 meeting just close by in Nairobi.

    • And then will come back for change of cloths, pick some “experienced personal advisers” and leave for USA for UN “annual vacation” meeting.
      In the mean time, famine, destitution will continue unabated and “belt tightening” and “international statesmanship of the anointed one” will be new slogan of the PF horde of brainwashed mongrels.

    • He told you austerity measures are not meant for him how much more do u want the man to say?? He also told you he has no vision of his own for this country …so mufuna chani kansi kuli uyu Munthu ??? He is the most candid President we have had. People fully know what they vote for no pretence baba he is ours own him ! Till 2021 hopefully when voting then, you will vote based on what he has been doing and saying

    • Spaceman is ruling Zambia. He is always in spaceshuttle, hopping to copperbelt, northern province, northwestern province etc. etc. coupled with international trips to steal through daily allowance fir himself and his kachasu cronies.
      My vote will go to any frog, insect, cattle, rustler who promises to lock him and his cronies up in 2021.
      People are dying and this clueless moron is wasting money. His actions ate crime against humanity.

    • The Gulfstream Jet engine has not even cooled down from its trip from Delhi Lazy is off again even with a full in-tray …he will let the old senile woman Inonge take over..I mean maize meal has sky rocketed, Kariba is drying up, KCM issue, 48 houses, Forest 27 issues surely how can someone even think of flying out.

    • He just loves being in mid-air doesn’t he?

      At some point FTJ liked publicity and making a name for himself at the international scene. Maybe campaigning for international jobs when he was to leave office.

      Never a fun of fliers. I hope there is no backtracking on the so called austerity measures. Presidential travels just ought to hit the top list of items on the austerity measures’ list.
      From Japan to where? When you were in India I asked the same question. The moment we get a non energetic president, less travellers, they pass on while in office.

    • This lazy guy knows that he’s incompetent and clueless. He wouldn’t even qualify to be a dog catcher. And yet he’s President in Zambia, just wasting our meager resources. Don’t waste your vote on this clueless guy. Save the country by voting this clown out of office in 2021. People are starving and he is busy flying around all over the place. He needs prison time once he loses the election. Corrupt lazy Lungu.

  2. Edgar Chagwa Lungu is the David Livingstone explorer of our time.Too bad he’s doing it at the expen$e of the poor Zambian .

    • Jona meno meno, on yet another useless trip, Ichi chena the worst president in the world….. even people with with zero IQ think better than the worst president in the world….

  3. Zambian think travelling is success. For me i attend the gay pride events all over the world but that is at my own personal cost. You don’t see me talking about it all day.

  4. ECL has really amassed money through travel allowances. What a cheap and shameful way to steal from poor Zambians. And it’s more shameful because people know what’s happening.
    How long will this go on for, who will save this Country?

  5. With these poor planing. Zambia is spending alot on the entourage, allowance etc. The president should have gone straight to Japan from India. Why return and leave within 1-2days???

  6. This is the most F@cked up leader I have never seen because things are bad in Zambia but he’s just moving Up and Down solving nothing. I voted for ba Sata M.H.S.R.I.P but not this F@cked up guy. Stu piiiiiiiid atase.

  7. We have Priscilla Mulenga (isaacs) and Esau Ischariot Chuulu to thank for this curse on our nation I hope they forever burn in hell.

    • No we have a perpetual loser always wanting to be president for the continued stay of PF in Government. As long as there is double h on the ballots, I will always vote any other leading candidate but double h.
      Chibeleshi icho, 5 times ulusafye? Who does that?

    • Thorn,

      Yes , continue voting for you fraud convict based on tribal lines ,

      And watch the suffering you are afflicting on Zambians……

  8. We told you ,

    lungu is desperately trying to accumulate travel allawances as cover for the vast wealth he has stolen…….

  9. When he comes back from Japan, tell him to give his employers a press conference so people can know what he’s been up to lately. Kenya – India n now Japan.

  10. If what is circulating on social media is correct then kaya mwandi this country. It is saying President Lungu is the most travelled President in living memory having undertaken 99 trips in the less than 5 years he’s been in power. Much more than Chiluba undertook in 10 years!

  11. Yaba is the only thing I can say. But no, why didn’t he take a one day resort in India and then fly to Japan. Sure iyi tena ni waste of the worst order.

  12. why parade people at night.This is morden day slavery.Why cant he head straight to state house and enjoy whisky.
