The Provincial Administration in Lusaka will, beginning today, not allow entry by any Bus coming from other provinces with passengers not wearing face masks.
President Edgar Lungu last week directed that wearing of face masks when going out is mandatory to prevent a person to person transmission of the coronavirus.
The President yesterday noted with sadness that some citizens have continued to act contrary to basic yet lifesaving measures such as wearing masks, sanitizing and washing hands.
He warned those not following the measures to stop immediately as they are not only endangering their lives, but also those of their families and everyone around them.
Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo said that he will personally be at Katuba Toll Plaza today to ensure that the Presidential directive for everyone to wear a face mask is implemented.
Mr Lusambo whose approach has been criticised by some stakeholders describing it as undemocratic said he will send back any bus that is failing to comply with the Presidential Directive on Mandatory wearing of Masks.
He said District Commissioners have also been activated and will also ensure that the directive is adhered to at all entry points.
Ati which law are you using?
Ati I will use a law within myself.
ine njebele Guard!!!!, are these not Chemical Ali tendencies?
Stop terrorising poor Zambians. Some people don’t even have money for food and you expect them to buy face masks. If you want them to wear masks you should hand them out for free, and please don’t give them the useless masks made out of PF chitenges but the quality ones that you are also using. Poor Zambians have started recycling used surgical masks from rubbish heaps by hand washing them in cold water and reselling them. Coronavirus will haunt every one if you don’t give poor people proper face masks they need.
Aristole he meant typical kaponya laws by street thugs.
Hope him is not putting on donated ones.
Goodmoning lusaka province and beyond. All protokoz aknoleged. This is not terrorist. This is saving your life. Go 2 afganistsn to see terrorist there
Be smart wear a musk or risk arrest. Great operation ongoing this moning. Keeping presidential orders complied with. Don’t be rude to disrespect his excellency by no wearing musk. Covid 19 does not disscriminate
Lusambo is a chagwamaniac.
We are effecting citizen arrest today for Lusambo. He can’t be law himself. Stupid low level headed minister for Edgar Chagwa Lungu.
Madilu if you want to taste hot soup then try that with my brother lusambo. You will know who God is. We know you are in diaspora where people are dying in thousands. We know it angers your evil souls that Africa and Zambia are doing well during this pandemic and so you trying to instigate trouble. You will die soon if you continue in this path. Trust me I have seen it happen alot of times. Peter tosh said fools die
Boman Lufyono go back to school and learn how to spell properly
LUSAMBO, ITS A GOOD IDEA BUT CAN GRZ PROVIDE THESE MUSK FOR ALL CITIZENS.
YOU HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THREATS.
THANKS
Provide face masks for people don’t just go out there and harass people for not wearing face masks some of the people can not afford a face mask but as long as there not politically branded this is not a time for campaigns.
Minister Lusambo said everybody should ware musks not masks there are more safe hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone please tell Lusambo this does not make any scientific sense. People sitting on a bus, shoulder to shoulder, air circulating, asked to each have a mask on at his checkpoints or risk the bus being turned back? And then what? The ones that comply then go about their normal inter-provincial/inter-city travels, shopping, interacting with others? Wealthy countries are relying on a lot of education, because even with their trillions of dollars, they understand they cannot micro-police every citizen. Yet Lusambo, in his infinite wisdom, takes the “forget your constitutional rights” approach and insists on making this about himSomeone explain to him what the WHO guidelines On this are and how best to implement them. Please?
Bowman is Chagwacentric
Bowman Tayali is just being silly. My mbuya is a low level thinker. Jack ma has donated masks Nd bowman must get some and give to passengers he wants to send back. _fake Kazier just shup up.
The thing is these buses coming into lusaka are probably coming from places that have not been affected, yet Lusaka is the affected place. Are the passengers leaving lusaka ensuring that they have masks on, that they don’t spread covid 19 to other towns?
Katuba toll plaza was sucksess. To those saying that people to poor to buy the musks, a musk do not cost more than a ticket to travel from wherever to my province lusaka. The wize say gate your priorities right.
Covid-19 in Zambia has also become a BIG EXCUSE FOR PF REGIME that even day-to-day running of government has gone to sleep with the president. Law and order has gone to untrained police cadres, workers can not be paid because all the money has gone to Covid-19 fight, load shedding has increased as money is with covid-19, floods victims have to endure hardship as all the money has been diverted ti covid-19 fight. Mopani mine is closed because of covid-19. Lusambo has run out of important jobs as Lusaka minister to be done and girded himself to his old trade as a bus station thug, all in the name fighting Covid-19. Zambians should not be hoodwinked that failure to provide effective leadership in Zambia as said by Chiti Mukulu, should not be blamed by Covid-19 pandemic. PF regime should be…
PF regime should be seen to pay workers for long over due salaries, manage floods, provide lights, medicines in hospitals and pay famers and reduce meal millie price. Zambians deserve good governance.
