Parliamentary Chief Whip, Brian Mundubile says borrowing by the PF government has been purely for developmental purposes.

Mr. Mundubile observes that it is unfair to maintain a clean debt sheet when people are suffering and need basic services.

He says from the debt government has contracted so far, schools, Hospital and roads have been constructed among other projects.

Mr. Mundubile who is also Mporokoso law maker says government borrowed to open the country for investment in various sectors.

He was speaking during the PF interactive forum in Lusaka today.

Mr. Mundubile said it is hypocrisy to overlook the aspect of development that has come with the debt that the country has contracted.

And PF Media Director Sunday Chanda expressed disappointment one opposition political party is propagating Gay rights.

Mr. Chanda said he is aware that the Opposition party is doing so to please its masters adding that it is sad for a leader to be ready to sale the country for political gains.

And PF Deputy Media Director Antonio Mwanza said the removal of meal allowances from Copperbelt University and University of Zambia was in good faith as government wants to extend loans to other public universities and colleges.

  1. The moment you begin to borrow in order to pay for rent, food and clothing, just know that your future is doomed.

    • Yes, government is borrowing in order to build 48 houses. We know.

      PF, no plan to better people’s lives beyond borrowing. Very sad. Never again.

    • Read comrade Fred M’membe’s statement released to press today morning. Borrowing is to steal, gallivanting, illegal activities and drawing hefty salaries and allowances.

    • The one thing I have come to know is that people that constantly keep accusing othere of being gay, are actually gay themselves.

      Sunday Chanda must be gay.

      He dresses like a gay, he talks like a gay.

      It is not gays people causing load shedding. Or stealing public money.

      So just shut your hole gay Chanda.

  2. Mundubile please shut up. Even the blind are able to see the PF destruction. PF has caused us unprecedented embarrassment. What development is there in owing Eskom? It’s the first time that clinics have begun to fail to provide anything to patients that include newly born. There’s absolutely nothing, including under 5 cards!

    • Mundubile is right. This Country had witnessed massive development due to tougher decisions made by PF. HH only knows ma sampo.

  3. Of course borrowing to buy a Luxury jet when children are suffering its ok. Borrowing K5,000 to buy mealie meal costing only K150 is fine so long you pocket the K350 for a beer and yet children have no relish only mealie meal. Of course borrowing to send over 25 irrelevant people costing government over K4m to USA to go and see fire engines museum left overs and left hand hand scrap is ok so long money does not come out of your pocket.
    Disaster!!!!

    • F*cken thieving 1doits, what development for every dollar borrowed 60c was stolen, PFoools are cursed people, dull as they come, especially that ka useless worst president on earth, a thieving lawyer wanna be

  4. Last parable” there was an employee who’s salary was k1,000.00 he went and borrowed k100,000.00 in order to afford one year’s rent in kabulonga with a view of pleasing his wife and step children. When the lender came for his money, he couldn’t afford to pay back. The landlord eventually evicted him from the house. The step children realised they were living a feck life, they abandoned the step father and looked for their real father.

  5. 1. Fire tenders that led you to burn markets so that you may justify their purchase. God is dealing with you for the tears of the poor marketeers.
    2. Presidential Jet that you use for partying.
    3. Incomplete project’s such as buildings countrywide due to lack of proper prioritization.
    4. Illegals stay of ministers whom you used to sign loans that you later denied because someone signed passes their office terms. These loans were signed during campaigns so that you use the money to campaign for PF.
    5. Lack of medicine in hospitals
    6. Loss of employment and increasing unemployment.
    7. Poor agriculture support and planning.
    8. Delayed salaries and ever increasing arrears
    9. Loadshedding

    • Continued;
      10. High fuel prices
      11. Poor performing kwacha
      12. Decline in GDP
      13. Loss of business due to increasing costs for many companies downsizing or shutting down.

      The list goes on and on. Despite being the government to borrow way more than previous governments and you saying that your government borrowed for developmental purposes so why are people so overburdened today? Where is the increase in economic activity that should have come with the borrowing?

  6. OK Mr Mundubile, how much taxes have you/are you collecting from those areas you say have seen development in roads, schools, hospitals etc?
    A tax is a fee one pays to cover development costs. No tax, no development. Citizens must be educated to their side of the bargain.
    So, how much tax, Mr Mundubile?

  7. ,”….Parliamentary Chief Whip, Brian Mundubile says borrowing by the PF government has been purely for developmental purposes……”

    Why, then, is the economy on its knees and why are there millions of unemployed ????

    I dare any PF on LT to tell me this in respect to what that man is saying ????

    • What ever happened to 2020vision ???

      Has he hanged himself ???

      He told us how maize meal will cost under k50, dollar will be at k6, inflation at 5 %

  8. Another rent seeker in a suit making useless statements justifying the borrowing or selling sovreignity to the highest bidder. The place has been sold people.

  9. They have drained the treasury through debt the same way they have drained the Kariba Dam! If they were wise they would have just kept shut up! This is what surprises me. ZESCO was tracking the rate at which water levels were falling. You mean no Engineer plotted the data on the graph to extrapolate for Zero water month and plan ahead? If so, was this data given to PF? If so, how did PF prioritize borrowing for the Presidential Jet over Economy needs? Is this not criminal negligence?

  10. You deserve that position Sir. Please come stand in Munali, will vote for you. Such intelligence discussion what we need. Or better be Vice President

  11. kikiki ok these guys are mental patients so Imf, blomberg, UK ambassador, etc are just lairs and pf is telling us the truth

  12. YAWN!!!
    PF is known for telling lies and half lies (also known as half truths). So Hon Mundubile is there something that you know which you think we dont know?
    The debt burden is simply reckless borrowing and reckless spending of that borrowed money. Inflated tenders, possibly a few brown envelopes. Last week the President himself mentioned sonething about inflated contract prices, there you go Mundubile, that should be your starting point and apply that to everything that you have “developed” since 2011 and you will understand your problem. By the way, you dont develop a country by building roads everywhere and some to nowhere, health posts, white elephant police stations, new districts, shifting provincial headquarters from Livingstone to Choma, etc etc and all at grossly inflated…

  13. YAWN!!!
    PF is known for telling li.es and half li.es (also known as ha.lf trut.hs). So Hon Mundubile is there something that you know which you think we dont know?
    The debt burden is simply re.ck.less bor.rowing and rec.kless spending of that borro.wed money. Inflat.ed tend.ers, possibly a few pink envelopes. Last week the Pr.esid.ent himself mentioned something about infla.ted contra.ct pric.es, there you go Mundubile, that should be your starting point and apply that to everything that you have “developed” since 2011 and you will understand your problem. By the way, you dont develop a country by building roads everywhere and some to nowhere, health posts without personnel and medical supplies, white elephant police stations, new districts, shifting provincial headquarters from…

  14. I think there is confusion in PF they know they have messed up now they don’t even know what to talk about, on the same function the other is talking about borrowing the other is talking about gay confusion.

  15. It is always sad to be reading hate comments, Zambians we should denounce insultes, hate speeches and comments etc, let us remember that our fore fathers where united when they fought for freedom and the peace we are enjoying today. As we always say, ‘united we Stand, divided we fall’. Those in opposition unity with the rulling party PF under the leadership of President Dr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, one leader at time and that does not mean that when you get united with the rulling party then you can not speak and advise, you need to use the language which will Unity Zambia, which will focus on the national development
