Dear Editor,
Ref: Dr Chitalu and Covid.
Its ridiculous! Chilufya Chitalu should be suspended right away! This situation should not have been allowed in the first place. The Ministry of Health should be following the WHO guidance on regulations for the Transportation of infectious substances 2019-2020. Covid 19 samples class as UN3373 – Biological Substances Catagory B.
Infection control, driver and vehicle safety is paramount when transporting Coronavirus samples, drivers have PPE, hands free communication devices, hand sanitisers and bacterial wipes. Should use temperature-controlled vehicles. The vehicles must be equipped to transport critical specimens, with temperatures ranging from – 25 to + 25 Degrees.
Very unethical ministry of health in Zambia.
Shamboko
This is a very ridiculous suggestion
IT CLEARLY SHOWS HATRED. He does not control transport there are officers in charge
How can they fire PF’s presidential candidate Chilufya??? I
Let him continue campaigning, you Socialist Party just pull up your face masks, 2021 is around.
I heard there will be swearing -in ceremony at State house for “commission of inquiry” in the transportation of bio-hazards on public over loaded buses. And results are expected in 3 years as usual.
it will take 3 years to find out why that boy used a bus to go take a deadly virus to a lab in Ndola or Lusaka. 3 fvcking years!!!!!!
Iwe Shamboko, suspend who? We are still investigating this issue and no one should be calling for aby suspension of anyone. We don’t abide by any laws or rules of a foreign entity because Zambia is a sovereign nation and we do as we please.
We can even make ourselves rich at the expense of poor people like yourself who are always complaining about everything and anything. In case you didn’t know already: we are ruling and your tribal bally will never be president.
We are rich and the majority voters will vote for us PF because there is enough rainfall this year and this means bumper harvest and no load shedding going into an election year in 2021.
And even if the voters vote us out, the police, the army and electoral commission is with us and will help us by whatever means for…
And even if the voters vote us out, the police, the army and electoral commission is with us and will help us by whatever means for us to retain power. So complain, whin and whinge all you want, PF will rule this country forever. Kz
Do you think corrupt people care less for anyone
Ba Shamboko mulebako serious, just for once. You have never seen an umbulas carry bugs of mealie meal?
When citizens can’t demand for high standards, abnormal can look and sound normal, even bio- hazardous material can be transported on public transport and some individual will think that is normal.
Ambulance
Who should fire who? Only threats like Chishimba Kambwili get fired. No but the guy called Mulusa who called fire tenders wheel barrows was also fired, and that Chiteme guy who took over has put on some really good weight, wamu vomela uminister, well done
Kaizar Zulu, you s!lly man… do you even listen to the stuff that is coming out of your mouth ir dumb head? You are plainly admitting that you are corrupt and our law enforcement agencies are corrupt and take orders from you. Unbelievable!
Lazy Lungu is too inept to carry out such decisions remember Lungu was merely a compromise leader in PF …these are the untouchables Chitotela and Chilufya he is scared of them. The likes of Chilufya dont care about anyone but how much is left in the pot for them to steal…the man has single handed this covid-19 pandemic but doesn’t want to take responsibility….no wonder his announcement of cases is always haphazard as poor lab assistants are on public transport with samples around the country…meanwhile Chilufya will make up figures depending on how much cash the donors have donated.
By the way I’m a little slow and not up-to-date with the street lingo but can someone explain to me what is this “bally” that i keep reading about on this LT blog? What is it and where is its origin or source? Thanks.
So Dr Chilufya is omnipotent to know everything that goes on in the ministry of health. May be they boy was even trying to be a hero. Stunt gone wrong.
KZ is a dreamer like Lazy Lungu. You underestimate the will and resolve of Zambians when they say enough is enough. PF and all its incompetence exists in August 2021.
By the way, what time does KZ do his work? We work, pay taxes, he get paid and he is blogging. What kind of civil service is so uncivilized?
Zambia is now confirmed to be under State Capture by KZ and his boss.
I guess only time will tell.
Too many ministry of health vehicles posing and loitering in shopping malls carrying girlfriends,cadres,concubines. Please deploy them to the front line.Support the front line please
The minister of health is doing a brilliant job against all odds with regards to covid-19 pandemic. The problem he inherited a corrupt system and he is part of corrupt system now full time.zambia doesn’t need even UPND but a revolutionary movement. Uproot the whole system and start afresh.
This emotional letter should just be ignored. The president has already done the needful by directing an investigation into the matter. In consequence, the right logistics must be put in place for proper transportation of samples and/or better still, develop testing centers around the country where all samples in the region can be tested.
Sikufele – Please excuse that bored UK based impostor I doubt he has any affiliation to PF…he merely posts for attention and decamping PF..not even hardcore PF LT supporters post that rubbish on here. Its a source of amazement for some here ..Just ignore the Jester!!
Nine Chale – You are very gullible person or in German Du bist leichtgläubig
This account by @Kaizar Zulu (c), isn’t this an imposter as well? Is the real Kaizar Zulu who was once at State House the veery one propagting hate on LT as well as clearly de-campaigning the PF? Is he such an A**H*** to actually type things like, “We can even make ourselves rich at the expense of peoplee like you” and also “even if the voters vote us out, the police, the army and electoral commission is with us and will help us by whatever means for us to retain power”?
This sounds like someone bent on descrediting the already pathetic PF. The other striking this is how this so called Kaizr Zulu is behind a UK IP Address either being in the UK or using a VPN to browse as if he wasd in the UK. Hee then bashes Zambians in the UK eeven when the story is far from the subject of…
Biohazardous material should not be placed on public transport period. Our health system is really broken if htis practise is done as a norm. Whilst no one is fired in PF for incompetence I think Dr.Chilatu should rectify this gross misconduct
upnd are scared of Chitalu chilufya.Atatase fire who?These chaps should stop being jelous.The man is working hard.
The whole world is reading and laughing at us how can you transport covid 19 samples in a public transport this Minister deserves to be fired and after being fired arrested or taken to the international criminal court i told you long time that these people they don’t love Zambians or may be their plan is to spread this covid 19 so they can postponed the elections after the out break.
These people are evil how can a normal person transport covid 19 in a public bus Lusambo he was busy beating up people and forcing people to ware masks inside the bus but we never knew there busy transporting it through public transport shame.
The ministry must not allow to investigate itself. This is illogical and defeats the very purpose to find the truth. Sad that so many postings are supporting Chilufya regardless of his outstanding corruption investigations by the ACC. Lungu should have suspended him years ago, but I guess he has no interest in doing ggod for Zambia, he allows the rot to continue.
And some of you guys who dream that bcause the foirces of repression will support illegal continuation of the curent regime in office disregarding the wishes of the voters, you must read history. You risk being buried with history because you have not learnt much from history..oppression does not live for ever!
KZ we know your plans you are saying there are still investigating because you want to change the story and say he was not transporting covid 19 samples investigating what when the truth is already there let him be fired people like you are de-campaigning the President you are always embarrassing the president sometimes i feel pity for president Lungu because he is surrounded by wrong people bad people very bad and evil look at people like Yaluma,Dora,Luo,Kaizer,Chitotela the list goes on very bad people.
My south African clone is doing a great job keeping my footprint alive. Come election time I will need such presence on all social media. My official account is vpnd to any England ip address but my south African clone covers for me when I am busy. I need feedback from you all in relation to how he is blogging. Is he doing a good job? Let me know. Hahaha
Is this honestly a case for firing a wartime minister? The minister is at war with a deadly infectious disease. There’s bound to be one or two knuckle heads, that will make silly administrative decisions. This is purely administrative, and looking at how serious this matter is, the minister must crack the whip. Those calling for the minister’s dismissal are just fully aware of the Man’s growing popularity and that’s not good news for the god they worship, Aka “Bally”.
So it is true that PF musicians use ZAF choppers to fly to PF functions to sing dununa reverse while people like this health worker in national duties carrying very sensitive materials use public transport? MISPLACEMENT OF PRIORITIES.
No, leave the minister alone, he is not the one who “donates” motor vehicles and other work requirements. Looks like nothing left for Covid-19, they donated too many bricks and cement to the churches. But ask Hamble, he may have some leftover motor vwhicles
The Covid19 pandemic has exposed most administrations in the world over how they run their countries and Zambia has not been left out in this scrutiny, we have seen how other countries are assisting their citizens with basic needs like food, water, sanitizers, masks and proper medical care just to mention a few, down here in Zambia we have Bowman whipping people without masks, then we have an over zealous PF cadres branding masks with PF regalia, as if that is not enough we have a story of Covid19 samples being carried on public transport and the entire health minister justifying that act in the back drop of the massive donations that have come his way through Covid19 and his insistence to to follow accountable channels of using that money as advised by the Finance Ministry. ON THIS ONE…
His insistence not to follow advice on the accountable use of funds by ministry of Finance
KZ is here clearly telling us that The Police, Army and Electoral commission will do everything possible to ensure PF victory, now if really that comment is coming fro Keizer, then as a country we are hopelessly finished to have such people as advisers to the president, however KAMA IS A BITCH, the same people Keizer thinks he can arm twist are the one that are going to be on the side of the Zambians and not on the side of the ruffians, just wait and see as because just like every Zambia is suffering and hating government overrun by cadres so are the police, army and ECZ because they are Zambians as well, do the right things every one will be happy do the wrong things everyone will be unhappy period.
THE DEATH OF THE YOUNG MAN HAS UNEARTHED A VERY BIG CRACK IN THE WAY DONATIONS ARE BEING MANAGED. DONORS AND WELL-WISHERS ARE PUMPING IN MONEY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID. BUT THIS MONEY IS NOT REACHING THE PEOPLE.THE DONATED FUNDS SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED TO BUY FUEL TO TRANSPORT THE SAMPLE. WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING? FRONT-LINE HEALTH CARE WORKERS ARE NOT GIVEN ANY INCENTIVES FOR THIE RISKY JOBS THEY ARE DOING. THEY HAVE NO FACE MASKS, NO PROPER PES AND YET WE SEE PEOPLE DONATING FACE MASKS, HANS SANITERSERS ETC TO THE MINISTER IN LUSAKA. NO ONE IS SPEAKING FOR THE POOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS. EVERYONE IS PRETENDING THAT THINGS ARE NORMAL. THE MINISTER SAYS HE IS “STOCK-PILIG” ALL THESE DONATIONS. PEOPLE ARE BEING INFECTED AND DYING AND YOU ARE BUSY STOCK-PILING! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
