Defence Minister Hon Davies Chama has said that President Edgar Lungu will bounce back into office next year because he possesses resilient and innovative leadership skills.
Hon. Chama said that the President, who is also Commander in Chief of Armed Forces, is transforming Zambia from greatness to greatness, adding that PF Government, since 2011 has been committed to transforming Zambia to lay a foundation for better things to come.
The Defence Minister was speaking in Parliament today during the resumption of debate of the 2021 National Budget in the Fifth Session of the Twelfth Assembly.
Hon. Chama said that it is wishful thinking for the opposition to state that this is the last budget for PF because, in September 2021, the PF government will present another budget.
Hon. Chama said that Zambia is bigger than some countries yet it has developed from Livingstone to Nakonde when other countries only develop in capital cities, adding that the PF Government considers improved roads as vital for the transformation of the country and called on Zambians to individually get involved in the production capacity of the country.
And Foreign Affairs Minister Hon Joseph Malanji has said that it is sad that some politicians are determined to sell Indeni Oil Refinery in Ndola in the unlikely event that they formed government.
Hon. Malanji said that the Patriotic Front (PF) Government is aware that population growth creates demand for more infrastructure.
The Foreign Affairs Minister was speaking in Parliament today during the resumption of debate of the 2021 National Budget in the Twelfth Assembly.
He says the power deficit in Zambia is partly because of limited infrastructure developed in the Kenneth Kaunda era for a sizeable population and that government is responding to the need by investing in infrastructure expansion.
Hon. Malanji says Zambia has recorded unprecedented challenges such as drought and the Coronavirus pandemic which the opposition deliberately want to blame on Government.
He says the 2021 National Budget of no tax threshold for K4,000 earning will see more resources in people’s pockets.
Hon. Malanji says Government is working with a smaller budget in a pragmatic approach to achieving more.
LT as a news outlet should disseminate information to the general public with professionally freely and fair without corruption. To assert words of defence minister Davies Chama is to propagate lies. His statement borders on allegations that ECZ has projected already the results of the votes to be carried out by ECZ in 2021. The suffering Zambian should not be marginalised with their constitutional right to vote people they prefer. So, your head lines is misleading and cheapening the voting exercise ECZ will conduct to vote out or in a government of their choice.
Us who have worked with him, the majority who voted for him in the last election and our new supporters already know this. 2021 wina azalila. Already baba tarino has disappeared
Are you saying you have already decided on the election results for 2021 .That is why the ECZ director collapsed then sinjala .
He is right!! PF understands very well how gullible zambians are. Just play a song, dance on stage like there is no tomorrow and bang!! They vote for you
Davies Chama why can’t you attempt yourself because your friend has lamentably failed. There’s nothing new he’ll bring to the table because he’s exhausted all his best which unfortunately is below par. You’ll sink with him
@ Kaizar Zulu, indeed his hard work says it all. Yes wina azalila!! ECL all the way!!
Hon Malenji is dreaming. It has taken more than 9 years and no more money in people’s pockets. Who can believe and trust PF promise? Dr Kaunda had provided enough power in his time. So Hon Malenji should not make reference to Dr. Kaunda. Both MMD and PF have done badly in power investment. It takes people to cry before PF can act. For Kafue Lower Hydro, 750 MW, I thank president Lungu and PF for investment.
Please we know he is going to win but help him by implementing his projects. Please send soldiers not police to a libsla night club it has troubled people with noise we thought you said they close at 22 hours these guys are going all the way unto early hours with their noise at time of posting it is 1:58 am and the noise is deafening and no body cares. Where are the relevant people kanshi!
Of course he will win, PF have been educated by Zanu PF in Zim how to rig the election to stay in power. We also need new people with new ideas from the opposition parties.
ECL has innovative/ resilient leadership skills? Covid 19 = failed , cholera epidemic = failed ,economy failing and corruption he’s failing badly …he doesn’t deserve reelection.
He is right!
PF has what it takes to cheat Zambians. Zambians are easy to cheat now. You can tell them to undress in church for anointing and they will obey every silly command without questioning. Democracy is risky. There is a real risk PF may bounce back, thanks to our weak and fragmented opposition! Zambians deserve the leaders they get!
“….Hon. Chama said that the President, who is also Commander in Chief of Armed Forces, is transforming Zambia from greatness to greatness…”
If that is the case , let Zambians decide for themselves , why are you blocking HH every where and why is lungu following him like a shadow where ever he attempts to go ????
God forbid that PF is given another mandate next year! Zambia will be completely ransacked
I thought this Katangese jareboo called Mwila was “Penzared”, so he is still among the living ka!
September 2011; RB wept.
I guess he was not crying for losing the presidency but he cried because he saw the future, he saw that the kwacha will 20 to a dollar, he saw that the prices of fuel and mealie meal will be high and the debt will be hitting mount kilimanjaro, he saw that zambians will be spaeking in hush hush tones because they will be scared and getting commands from “cadres” .
The truth is, based on his record ECL cannot get 50%+1 vote in the 2021 Presidential Elections. He can only bounce back if those Elections are rigged. No wonder ECZ on PF orders is trying to manipulate the Voters Roll and PF is trying to force Bill 10 on reluctant Zambians. Without a Transparent and Credible Voters Roll ,2021 Elections will be definitely be disputed and peace will not prevail in Zambia. The writing is on the wall.
But. Mir is Not Eligible to contest for the office of President in 2021. Doesn’t PF have Presidential Contestants? Well, Who says they are only ones to serve. Who needs them anyway. there are more than 18 million Zambians who are willing to work for this Country, and I am one of such millioms .
Anyone who has a surname for a first name is a Richard head. Does anyone expect this man to say anything else when he is a NOMINATEE who lost an election? He is prejudiced.
maybe in another world not ino tulimo.
