Those who are in the habit of saying President Edgar Lungu is not working should be laughed at and not taken seriously, says Lunte Member of Parliament Hon Mutotwe Kafwaya.
He said this in an interview with media when he inspected the construction of the 31 stretch road from Mulenga Mapesa to Mukupa Kaoma.
Hon Kafwaya, who is also Transport and Communications Minister, said the people from both Chiefs Mukupa Kaoma and Chitoshi had requested government to work on this road to shorten the distance they cover.
“This river you are seeing behind you is Lukulu, it separates Kanyanta and Kalungwisha wards of Chief Mukupa Kaoma and Chief Chitoshi respectively. So the people in the two wards requested government to work on this important road. It’s a short cut when you are coming from Mukupa Kaoma going to Kasama,” he said.
“This is just a temporal bridge you are seeing just to easy the movements of the contractor (ZNS) who are working on this road as well as the people like the way we have used it. And I can tell you that we have already requested for pieces of belly bridges from Mongu and be able to put here. So we are just waiting for the measurements.”
Hon Kafwaya said the last time the road was worked on was 53 years ago saying the people are grateful to the PF Government for having responded to their cry to work on this road.
“The story here is finished. The people are grateful to this government. So you have to laugh at those saying His Excellency President Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu is not working, laugh at them,” he added.
The 31 kilometers stretch will have two bridges one at Lukulu and the other one at Kasanshi.
Even my garden boy back home , give the billions lungu has had access to, can build like that , but on top of that can do a better job by growing the economy……..
Name any economic indicators that have grown under lungu ??? None , zero
All negative. Every thing has contracted.
KIKIKIKI,U ARE A LAUGHING STALK.WHAT IS HE WORKING?WHEN EVERYTHING IS CRABBLING? MWANITENKUNYA BA MUDALA.
Everything is crumbling under his leadership and only his PF ministers and cadres see developments in their pockets.
Who should be praising Edgar Lungu, ministers or ordinary people who are the ultimate affected ones?
Self praise has no recommendation.
PF must go!
No matter what people can say about Lungu they are just waisting their time because the man has demonstrated the zeal to develop Zambia and leave a very powerful legacy amongst all the Presidents that have ruled this country so far. Let’s give praise where it is due.
It is only you who has not seen the fake pictures of roads on his facebook page that is why you think he is working . You also have not been told that two million Kwacha to Tasila is loose change .The question you have to ask yourself is ;If two million Kwacha is nothing to a former grave digger , then how much Tax payers cash has he stolen .
Ba Spaka-Lungu took over the country with a GDP of $21bn and it stands at $27bn today despite a historic commodities bust which saw our main export lose 40% of its value. He found the country with a critical power deficit left by 20 years of MMD lack of foresight and will be commissioning the 750mw Kafue Lower power plant, the first built in over 45 years since the UNIP era. He is only one of the presidents to oversee a 3 million plus maize bumper harvest. Spaka, Mutotwe’s statement has a lot of truth in it, my guy!!
Unemployment rate =11.46%
Exchange rate = $1 – k19.02
Load shedding = 10 to 12hrs
Fuel price petrol =k17.62
Inflation rate = 15.80%
What are toll gates for? If you still have to borrow money for road construction.
Why spend 50% of budget on salaries amidst austerity measures?
Why purchase an expensive jet amidst austerity measures?
Why borrow huge sums of money for money for infrastructure development and award contracts to the same foreigners you borrowed from?
PF MUST GO!!!
Kongola-you see, the problem with you colonised tribalist opposition goons, you fail to substantiate your allegations. You cried for Chitotela’s arrest but when the Courts gave you a chance to show Zambians what you knew, you wilted like a thirsty plant and shamed yourselves. It’s corruption, corruption, thieves, thieves, why can’t you show us what only you see??? Mwanawasa, Nchito and M’membe called FTJ a thief but in 7 years failed to have him arrested until the courts acquitted him, that method won’t work on Edgar Lungu!!
HAHAHAHAHA I am laughing at them. Ba diaspora and upnd mwanyala
HAHAHAHAHA I am laughing at them. Ba diaspora and upnd mwanyala. I agree with the article.

By PF bureau of standards. I remember those days we would go for JETS or Debate , where we would find what you consider as the creme de la creme at your school will turn out be just a regular guy at another school. We need regular change of leadership same way babies need regular change of diapers, regular change in developed countries is their secret to their success. America has had more one term presidents compared to two termers, how long was Gordon Brown and Theresa May’s reign as prime ministers?
Kaizer zulu why is your hand bag business in dubai & not in kamwala? Why invest in diaspora & not in zambia if you are really patriotic as you want to portray? You are just another Panama thief
The case of Tasila Lungu! An apple ? doesn’t fall far from the tree. Like father like daughter. They are both corrupt to the core. Don’t be fooled by portrayal of innocence look in the face. It’s their decoy to hide their crookedness. You had heard Lungu had swindled a client before he joined politics but you all thought it was a small thing. Now here we are, he is fighting with everything not to leave even after destroying everything. Mukose! It requires being as brutal as he is. The army and the police should make sure that the military hear he has purchased for 2021 is used on him and his family. PF released Jay Jay because they want all the notorious bandits on their side for violence in 2021. Count my word.
Zambian Citizen
Ati $27 billion GDP ??? Lies ,
You are so ignorant…..if there is a growth of $6 billion GDP , why is the standard of living down , why is unemployed up ? Why is inflation double digits ???
Ati commissioning power plants ???
Lungu has been commissioning power plants from 4 years ago , still load shedding from the day he assumed office and he will leave load shedding, he is utterly incompetent….
Ati bumper harvest ??? Only good rains saved lungu……and we still have record high meal prices, iwe pompwe….

Pleas , tell us how you can have an increase in GDP yet all other economic indicators are negative , way before covid …..?
Because…….. The gross domestic product (GDP) of a country is one of the main indicators used to measure the performance of a country’s economy. … When GDP growth is strong, firms hire more workers and can afford to pay higher salaries and wages, which leads to more spending by consumers on goods and services..
Maybe you have a PF reasoning that lungu Uses ……

Kkkkk kkkkk…. Haters will be haters, the hon is absolutely right, we just have to laugh, kkkkkkkkk
Spaka-this source is the World Bank statistics. Unlike you, I get info from real sources not watchdog and other upnd media. You cried hunger when we had a drought, you wanted ECL to declare a national disaster but he replied you with a 3.2m tons maize bumper harvest-mealie meal now selling for K105 breakfast!!! Chikonko chikwikate, kapoli!!!!!!
Zambian citizen,

It must be a bussiness targeted at homosexuals……
..
I wonder why you debate with Zambian Citizen…the chap is so daft that one time he was justifying an ambulance costing $250k…really laughable
How’s Lungu working yet all of Zambia’s economic indicators have gone south ?
This zambian citizen is a real chikopo. Its because of f**ls like these we are suffering as a nation. Probably he himself and his family are sitting in the dark because of load shedding although kariba is full. Must be buying all comodities at high price because dollar is now 20 but pf found it at 6. But he always comes up with silly reasons to justify his suffering. His family should disown him!
I wonder why some people call themselves Zambian Citizens. At i get information from real sources. A fun thing about information is that it can be manipulated to portray lies instead of facts. The fact is that you cant claim to be rich when you’re begging. You’re the type of people who will go round acting like everything is okay but when u are back home sleeping with hunger. Its like u dont even understand GDP. A business does well if its going up not when its going down to stress and headache. Development is when poverty reduces, employment increases, not displaying wronging figures but people are suffering. You are very dull
I wonder why this guy Calls himself Zambian Citizen. He is the most annoying dull Zambian if at all he is Zambian. At i get information from real sources. Who doesn’t know that information can be easily manipulated? Information cant argue with facts you *****, these are the type of fools who celebrate when their businesses are making losses because they dont know the difference between profit & loss. Development is when you see a reduction in poverty & increment in all GDP contributing factors not where all GDP contributing factors are going down to stress & headache. Whats increasing GDP in your silly dreams? Magic? This is just another corruption beneficiary PF die hard
KZ needs more than therapy. He is a shameless wind follower. Whatever PF does thats his direction whether right or wrong. He is a tail. No direction only hate for the opposition & diaspora, but am here to remind you that GRZ is not a permanent Job. Within it you feel the power, use the power but a time is coming when you will understand that its actually us the Citizens who hold the power. Other parties came back to opposition as for PF you will fade in Prison once u are kicked out of this power you’re misusing, wait your turn
Yes this man is right. People should not say lungu is not working. He is even working overtime but purely for his own benefit.
The problem with lungu’s working is that the Chinese and other foreigners doing the actual work are the only ones benefiting and working away with huge payments citizens have to pay for. Meanwhile lungu does not nothing but show up to cut ribbons when he is supposed to be focusing on the economy which is in free fall. He can’t even address people always others have to speak on his behalf
Tarino-prove me wrong with tangible statistics, this is the World Bank mofo!!
Wako-even if I’m in the dark, I understand that ZESCO generation capacity is below national and export demand. That’s why PF are correctly obsessed with building power plant. So if you think hh will come and sort out ZESCO, he will definitely selling it.

Despite these PF failure bloggers seeing failure talking to them, as usual kufwa na no. Your currency is still the second worst performing in the world and you still want to argue, attempt to leave with some grace, MMD even did better by far.
The article is right: Edgar China Lungu is working VERY hard to empty Zambia’s coffers and transfer the money to his personal presidential retirement fund. He won’t care after next year’s elections: he will be in Brazil on his ranch counting all those $$$. And while doing that he will enjoy a nice cold beer, served to him by his faithful thieving servant Kaizar Zulu
