President Edgar Lungu has applauded the Bureau of the Heads of States of the African Union that met on 26th March 2020 and created the Coordinating Committee of the African Union’s Response to COVID-19.
The Committee comprises ten out of fifty-five African member states.
President Lungu says he is also greatly pleased that Zambia has been selected to sit on this Committee and will be represented by Minister of Health, Dr. Chitalu Chilufya.
The President expressed happiness that Zambia’s strategic intervention to curb the COVID-19 pandemic is being recognized.
He said this presents an opportunity for Zambia to share her best practices with other states.
President Lungu said the Coordinating Committee of the African Union’s Response to COVID 19 is part of a holistic strategy to combat the pandemic.
“We recognize other initiatives adopted by Bureau which include the ratification of the joint continental strategy on COVID-19, and the creation of an African Taskforce on the Coronavirus(AFCOR)”, he added.
He said this is to help coordinate AU member states’ preparedness and capabilities to fight the pandemic.
In a facebook posting, President Lungu said Zambia also support the initiative to establish the African Union COVID-19 Fund, aimed at raising funds to fight the pandemic.
Great president and not the ones that want a lockdown so that they can later turn around and blame the government.
This came as no surprise to his excellency nor me. We know mr chilufya has been doing a fantastic job and this is well deserved. A true product of zambian soil representing us very well. Americans and the world over laughed at us and used us as an example of poor medical health facilities. Now the same countries are experiencing thousands of deaths while humble Zambia continues to do very well to contain this virus. By the way, no nee cass reported in Zambia in past 24 hours. Kz
Bandit President Lungu should just resign…he is useless…no direction and he has destroyed the Zambian economy
Please when the approval to give relief by creditors is given shall we do the right thing for once…..we dont want to see un reasonable expenses..mind you relaxation is not debt write off. We need it to trickle down to house hold level….We dont want to see the jerabo type of buying when he is sales copper and starts buying sausage in kilometers instead of Kg and shift houses for fear of cockroaches instead of buying the insecticide.
This man is just useless…Zambia dont have a President. I am sure he is sick because of no flying abroad.
This Facebook president, is he quarantined too? Where is he hiding!?
…WARNING: diasporan donkeys farting in public, hate overflowing….
Lazy Lungu is so dumb he will be shocked when he is challenged by the crook Dr Chilufya…really laughable ..his ministers are visible where he is hiding in State House bar.
Zambian Citizen – maybe you should apply for a passport and travel a bit…you will see a proper Ambulance costing £60,000 instead of Chilufya’s Ambulances that cost 4 times that which you were justifying.
