President Edgar Lungu has expressed deep displeasure with the lack of electricity at Lwela Secondary school in Chembe district of Luapula Province.
The seemingly annoyed President Lungu, requested management at the district administration to provide answers , why electricity has not yet been switched on at the school, even though all the connections are already done.
ZANIS reports that President Lungu voiced discontentment in Cheembe today, when he inspected construction works at Lwela secondary School, where Milenge District Commissioner, Mwenya Bupe and Lwela Secondary School head teacher, Kaitano Mumba, both labored to ascertain the figures for the remaining costs of the project.
“I am not happy that electricity is not connected here, and the leadership does not know the actual figures required to complete the work here”, the President remarked.
And Luapula province Permanent Secretary, Charles Mushota who was in the company of the head of state, assured President Lungu that the school will soon be connected within two weeks.
Whilst in Cheembe, the Head of State held talks with Chief Sokontwe of the ushi people and the clergy in the district.
President Lungu is in Luapula Province inspecting developmental projects in selected districts.
Our President likes to Direct people to act fast, especially during time of elections. We are sorry Papa but you have failed us, need a new broom and new leader.
My president as we speak I am busy liaising with those responsible for this shameful development. They will be made to pay for this. A few firings
This man has no shame at all….anyway this is not RB this Lazy Lungu will do anything to win at all costs
If i work with lazy people I will be upset too. Mr president most people in government are lazy and they should be fired for getting free salaries.
Mwiponta Mukabwela – Dont make excuses for him he chooses to work with lazy people as he too is a lazy bone…no lacks leadership qualities
The whole President talking about electricity connection to a school ….when doctors are on go slow because arrears and non payment of salaries. This man is too inept to be given another 5 years
This is not fair. There have been many requests for the school to be connected and nothing was done for such a long time. Now blame is put on the poor officers? Awe bane this is not fair. I know all the development problems of that areas very well and it is not because of the officers. the area had an MMD MP at some point and so they did not want to do anything to punish him. Let’s not be hypocrites bane. Ask the former PS of the province or former Mansa DC. Even when an area has an independent or opposition MP, they should not be denied development. Taxi payers are both from everybody regardless of affiliation. We are one Zambia One Nation One People and development.

He uses language to disguise his incompetence. Money should be available first for the Work to go ahead. If there is no budgetary allocation their is no point directing people. They will just do it. This thing of directing is one of the reasons you have projects dotted around incomplete with contactors left out of topic. You have done run your race and you have not been competitive throughout the race. There is no need for rushing! It’s time to pack.
@ Eye of an Eagle, you are right but believe me, the officers you are referring to are either fired or on transfer with a demotion.
If an application was lodged to ZESCO, then no any other person should be punished apart from ZESCO officers.
He is busy campaigning meanwhile there is a pending case against his eligibility in court.
This man what type a criminal lawyer is he?
He mislead the former ministers and misleading himself!
Uyu muntu afwile apona, lishilu!
PF must go!
KZ the UK based troll is busy firing people? From the UK? You were fired by the president yourself! Don’t let us laugh!!!
Any normal Zambian can see that this leader did not care what happens under his management.
He has failed cooking oil is more expensive then petrol that is imported. Eggs are now k68 a tray from k38, meat k128 a kg from k44 all produced in Zambia no bufi ya dollar ati massive development. Yes development kuma pockets of few cadres like Empty tin KZ who were fired by Late Sata for incompetence but brought back by ECL and fired.
People get the money being dished out it’s your money when you go to vote no one will know who you voted for. Don’t kubaba
