We have not Cut or reduced Aid to Zambia-British High Commissioner

Share

The British government says it has not cut or reduced aid to Zambia.

British High Commissioner to Zambia Nicholas Woolley says what British Prime Minister announced was a merger of the Foreign Ministry and the International Development Ministry.

Mr Woolley says the merger was necessitated by the need to have one single decision-making body and that the Prime Minister did NOT announce a cut or reduction of aid to Zambia.

The British High Commissioner has told ZNBC’s Katwishi Bwalya in an exclusive interview that his Government will continue to support Zambia by growing its economy through programmes such as the Development Assistance through Poverty Reduction.

  1. Yesterday the inferior diasporan were kicking and jumping around like a constipated frog because they couldn’t fathom why the British representative had praised my bro lusambo. Some even claimed that it was all an act . Earlier on after reports of Zambia being quoted in borris speech some diasporans started celebrating that the UK was cutting aid ties. Well there you have it, straight from the horses mouth. Don’t you feel.ashsmed diasporans wishing the waste on your former country? You hate your fellow African and yet expect the whites to love you. How can you expect respect when you disrespect your own kind. Is it any wonder why they see you as second class inferior free leaders? Sad

  2. They sent us a very dull High Commissioner. I’d like to know his qualifications. These are people appointed because of nepotism. He’s probably a brother to one the girlfriends Prime Minister over there.

  3. Haha zedian anyone who says something that puts this government in good light is dull or wrong to you. This is what happens when you use your tribe to think rather than your brain. It is also the reason why your demigod will never win any election. You wish the worst on Zambia and then expose people to vote for you ? You are a bunch of dull bush pigs

  5. Could the word “yet” have been missed out of the statement?

    Analyse the PM’s address and comparisons/contracts to decide what the premise is.

  6. @KZ nobody needs to tell you how dull you are. Your comments above precisely explains your stupidity . How do you find joy and celebration in receiving aid?. You try to sound articulated precisely exposing your stupidity and you are the same people giving the country bad name that it’s so poor to look after her own citizens . The same diasporian your black stinking **** is busying disparaging are the same people paying taxes which the British or an foreign govn’t give in form of aid to Zambia Govan’t because you are so poor. 24/7 your black **** is on that computer of yours commenting every article, btw vinambwela mochindwa . When do you actually work?. Time you get your black **** out of that chair i.e even you got one ?. My guess is that you are still waiting for aid to come…

  8. There is no logic in some people’s arguments one minute its disapora being called slaves for musungu next the same people are celebrating getting aid from colonial masters….that’s the thing with being an impostor you are caught between two minds and can not keep track. I for one pay tax both in Britain and Zambia hence will write to my local MP here to ask for more transparency and accountability in the way this aid is dispersed to Zambia as former Post Master McFerson Chanda is still walking the streets after helping himself to this cash…the minister who was scarified is also walking the streets her case has disappeared. Meanwhile young Chellah has been in police cells for 12 days for a bondable issue risking his health to covid-19 in Police custody

  9. Just look at the inferiority complex of the thieving PF rats………

    A white man stands next to you and you are almost choking with joy…….

    He only stood next to lusambo to say well done in fighting covid , well controlled , so now you are less deserving in reciving covid aid money……..there are worse affected countries….

  10. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t keep supporting us economically. British Aid is not our privilege, it is their obligation. We did not ask to be colonised by them. They imposed their rule on us against our will. Demanding reparations would be the normal, legitimate procedure. It’s what all nations do to their historical opressors, but we have not done that.

    Greece and Poland still demand economic support and reparations from Germany for invading their territories during the 2nd World War. The crimes that countries commit to other countries make them accountable and indebted to these people whether they like it or not. Forever!

  11. Your Excellence bwana High Commissioner, we heard BoJo very well so please don’t join the PF Ministry of Clarifications. We’re just worried because the PF has caused us so much misery we now feel like attending any funeral everyday even people we don’t know just to have an opportunity to cry without being looked at as bonkers. Poverty worsened by wanton pillage of national coffers

  12. I thought Boris Johnson was very clear about there not being ‘a cash point’ in the sky for Zambia. Is this now, a change of mind?

  14. Nine chale you took the words right out of my mouth! You my friend are a great man. Those are my thoughts exactly! If as a country you decide, at your own accord, to take on the responsibility of a father or paternalistic leader of other countries by saying they are your subjects and forcefully taking control of their resources, then in future when they chase you up for parental upkeep do not think it is a privilege for us. Rather it becomes your obligation. No one forced you to exploit Africa and force it’s people to become your colonial subjects. Infact that is money owed to us. However, the kunta kintes of this world like tarino would rather move to their colonial masters and work for them instead of demanding them to pay us what is owed to us and staying here to develop our country…

  19. I did say they are not finished with us yet. The carrot will just be dangled differently. I would prefer they cut the umbilical cord so that we can move on with our lives. They are only interested in your resources full stop. They don’t care about anything else. In fact they are doing studies to find ways on how to stop you from reproducing. Zambia should be the ones assisting the UK with COVID because we seem to have escaped the full brunt of it. However if you drop your guard, COVID-20 will be come in through the back door.

  20. As you usual Nenah Cherry at it again…s/he is typing outlandish posts of nothing but contradiction no wonder you have the support of the impostor.

  21. “British Aid is not our privilege, it is their obligation. We did not ask to be colonised by them. They imposed their rule on us against our will.” Really twisted mindset and this is someone who claims champion pan africanism whilst safely tucked in rural scenic Germany with musungu partner…laughable indeed.

  22. Tarino, you were celebrating the nonexistent “freezing” of British Aid (our money they stole from us). Guess what: It is more money in PF and our people’s pockets. Choke on that Ms Envious! More money to us and less to you… I don’t even care if it’s your tax contribution.
    What you Diasporas satanists don’t understand is how governments work. Zambia is such a strategic country for Western countries… we are a Christian nation who keep away terrorists and Islamic extremists, among other things. So they can’t just cut off aid money to us. Even if they, the Chinese would still put more money in our pockets. Kz

  23. Aid after all these years hsnt done us any good, this so aid in wht even form end up in our leaders pockets. We hear it being talked abt or jst see billboards at health institutes, 4×4 vehicles with stickers bt benefits are non existence. Wht is it for? We a always getting poorer.

  24. A picture of these two again! They like …Malcolm and Wise but s lot less funny!
    Sorry Commissioner, but we clearly saw and heard Prime Minister on TV being terribly rude, undiplomatic about Zambia,/Tanzania. You ought to be apologising and the assurance of Aid through this or that British newly created Gizmo, is not what Zambia needs.

    We are Common Wealth and ought not be seen less acceptable to Ukraine. We contributed to the building of Great Britain through our Mineral Resources which apparently was only valuable when you occupied us. Zambia provides externalised GDP to UK through conglomerates with no boarders and citizenship, who never pay us tax. We are not poor relations.

  25. KZ do not clone others, be authentic, live and real. Do not hide in other’s profile.
    Concerning the British High Commissioner statement over aid to be reduced or discontinue aid to some selected countries was live at parliamentary debates and newsprint in all prominent media that some countries are to be affected Tanzania, Pakistan, Zambia were some of the countries to be affected. High Commissioner Nicholas Woolley is a diplomat well vested in his profession. If you (KZ) and others were expecting a replica of Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s statement regarding foreign aid to Zambia to come from Mr Nicholas Woolley, then your IQ is low. Do a research.
    Overwhelming statement was aid will be reduced or discontinued all together to some countries and Zambia is one of them.

  26. Britain took all the A grade copper from Zambia, sold it and used the money to build the monarch. Those Zambians living in England, what are u guys taking back, of all that stolen copper & gold. Go to the queens place, the copper spoon & folks she uses for breakfast – take it. Thats yo stolen Zambian copper. Take the jobs, take everything there, its rightfully yours.

  27. Ba KZ should know that aid does not add value to anyone’s life because it is prone to misused by the likes of abena kabwalala Zulu and Jonathan to build mansions around state House and many others in Swaziland .Everyone Zambian know that the ACC and the police are useless organs of government with one aim of punishing the opposition . Chavula hasn’t seen a day in court because he is being shielded by thugs in government .
