The Opposition UPND has donated additional beef to the Ministry of Health COVID-19 Committee and to the Zambia Correctional Service for those incarcerated.
Other donated items handed over to the Ministry of Home Affairs today included 100 by 25 kg bags of mealie meal, 20 boxes of soap, 10 thermometers and 20 boxes of hand sanitizers.
UPND Secretary General Stephen Katuka handed over the donation to Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo at the Lusaka Central Correctional Facility.
Mr Katuka delivered a message of goodwill to the inmates at the correctional facility from UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema who he said was a part of them a few years ago.
He said the donation marks a special day for the UPND as it is the day Mr Hichilema was arrested after the Mongu road traffic fracas.
Mr Katuka said the donation is one of the many the UPND will make to the Correctional Facilities to help fight the COVID-19.
And receiving the donation, Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo commended the UPND for the gesture which he said will go a long way in supporting government’s quest to prevent the spread of the pandemic.
He also expressed happiness that the donation was made during the Easter weekends which shows that the UPND cares about the incarcerated people.
What has PF donated? Pangaz?
Let the dogs bark …. Sunday Chanda, Chilufya Tayali……
WELL DONE UPND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPND is a good party. It’s like that character in Animal Farm, Snowball, who has good leadership characteristics but is despised by the inept and corrupt PF, or rather Napoleon, party.
Well done guys keep it up!
we have heard and seen for ourselves. we now know what we didnt know. are you ready.
Even prisoners will enjoy beef during this Covid and Easter period! Cheers UPND guys; you are doing us proud!!
Now let us wait for the PF Vuvuzelas Mr Tuesday Chanda and Kalufya Chayali; the headless maza fakas
Lusaka Times your website too much ma gymnastics what happened…you now focused on adverts…just way too many pop ups…you can barely read an article
The zambian people thank you for the gesture. We thank you on their behalf..continue in this spirit and we hope even after the virus is gone that you will continue on this positive path rather than just criticising the ruling party and government. Kz
Muchas Gracias UPND.
I’m still waiting for lungu’s donation. How far? I thought leaders lead by example.
@Madilu system; he’s already started making his donations, remember, at the HH donation event his surrogates in the name of Peter Chanda and wright Musoma made those unbelievable donations of K225,000 cash and 2,000 bags of mealie meal. Interestingly, they even brought along one spooky Mulemwa, a virtual hand to mouth one man NGO to donate K50, 000 cash( by the way his bank account has never hosted such kind of amount) and 500 bags of mealie meal. Their motive of course was to overshadow HH’ s donation. Unfortunately for them HH has continued with the donations as promised, being today at Zambia correctional services. We hope they will continue with their super donations.
Anyone given any thought to what the present govt’s response has been to the COVID-19 virus? This will have long term effects. Countries will be issuing visas based on how each govt responded. Some of us are proud Zambians and travel on the still respected Zambian passport and would like to continue to do so. Pull your socks up PF govt and give this pandemic the seriousness it deserves instead of ku waya waya fye, mchew!
Thank you for that good gesture Son of the soil. It shows that you are truly an indigenous Zambian who has love for your own Zambian people. Your priority is to serve the Zambian people because you are a pure Zambian.
Hichilema has been UPND President since 2006, so he has served 3 five year terms but only 1 was elected the other 2 are by force and UPND members don’t see anything wrong with that.
@Ayatollah: pipo are discussing totally a different subject and you just come with another……..
Any way, I am wondering about our Vice President she is to quite. amidst this pandemic the mother of the nation goods to hiding? Zambia and its leadership…..
