This is so I scientific, this man should articulate himself like the doctor he is. Need more facts and figures and not just a global 70% without substance, I am assuming this ministry keeps statistics on diseases, but again we have a culture that cares less about these things
Meanwhile the death rate due malnutrition, diarrhea and other preventable diseases has increased.
We can do it! I am sure he is still jealous of this report but you wonder how he “loves” the people he wants to desperately rule! Even his cronies are not happy! “ONLY a Tonga can make things right!” UPND is the waste news to ever happen to Zambia. Bitter herbs for breakfast, bitter herbs for lunch and bitter herbs for supper = BITTER HEARTS.
Lungu has very funny characters working for him…is this man a real doctor or Matero University doctor????and there’s evidence that this man is very corrupt….thieving doctor
HH has tribal funny characters working for him. Chief Mu…, Mutinta and the wife CHARMANE.
THAT IS LUBBISH !!!!!! WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE FACTS !! HAVE YOU BEEN TO RURAL AREAS WHERE PEOPLE ARE DYING DAILY FROM MALARIA !!
@2, “Ati this is Lubbish to have a loser wanting to a president for Zambia?” You Ha right! HAZALUZA HAGAIN because he is UNLIKABLE and “UNVOTALABLE!”
