President Hakainde Hichilema says the UPND Government will not make decisions on a whim ,emotions or in haste.
In a Tweet this morning, President Hichilema said his Government will make decisions based on data, analysis and well orchestrated execution of the UPND’s vision.
President Hichilema has so far appointed and swore in Defence and Security Chiefs, Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane and held approbation ceremony where the newly elected Speaker Nelly Mutti presented her petition.
He also appointed and swore in Presidential Press Aide Anthony Bwalya, Deputy I.G Police for Special Duties at State House, Fanwell Siandenge and Correctional Service Chiefs.
The President is expected to name his full Cabinet in due course.
People close to the President have said apart from being meticulous in his decision making process, he never rushes to make decisions. And because of this, they say he usually makes the right decisions.
“Everyone who has had an audience with him will tell you how he takes note of everything you say. He literally writes down all your points. He will let you say all you want before he gives you his line of thought. He is a patient listener and will not interject you as you speak,” said someone familiar with the President.
This country does not need slow thinkers.
Urgent situations call for urgent solutions.
STOP GIVING US EXCUSES.
DAY 13
I see that a lesson has been learned here. Like Herod promising his step daughter anything in world until she asked for John The Baptists head on a platter, never act while you’re either too happy or too desperate.
I have seen that too. He is a patient man. I saw how he handled the police during campaigns. He was always calm and he told them he knew they were under some influence.
This is a 5 year project………
Take your time…….
We don’t want a repeat of PF U turns after initial U turns …….
And yet you have the disgruntled SEAN Tembo, the Kapya Kaomas, etc still living in the past where hastily discissions were being made, they are busy pushing HH to behave in the same manner as his predecessor by wating him to name his cabinet on day 2. And yet you have the disgruntled SEAN Tembo, the Kapya Kaoma, etc demanding that HH fulfill the PeP Manisfesto already yesterday…..VERY ERRATIC and UNRESPONSIBLE behaviour. Zambians DECIDED to give this man a chance to RULE this country, therefore, give him a chance to set up his WINNING TEAM that will ENSURE the priorities asked by Zambians are met. HE HAS 5 years. MULEKENI ABOMBEPO. STOP the noise !! AFTER ALL Zambians did NOT vote for PeP. GIVE HH A CHANCE and I am NOT UPND.
Kikikikikiki kikikikikikijukija Hehehehehehe nkunkunkunkyu!
Did you see that?
#1 Abanyoli(Zinc) just called the Upndee president who is also Eagle1 a slow thinker. Befitting, yeah?
hahahahahaha kwekwekwekwe!
This is classic, yaba!
kwikwikwikwikwi kwokwokwokwo!
Abanyoli wandepula iwe!
Haa! His disciples will insult you here.
Ma! This article is so wicked, how can you say your leader takes a long time to decide? This is not a good virtue for a leader. Damn it! He needs a Psychometric test. It is an insult.
So he select a cabinet in the fourth year of his term
Aboulomania is a mental disorder that is featured by crippling indecision, pathological indecisiveness or “paralysis of will”, linked with anxiety, stress, depression, and mental anguish. Persons who have aboulomania are not able to make their own decisions, take long to decide and lack the willpower.
It impacts a person’s ability to start or maintain social interactions.
When you writers next want to defend your president, think about what you want to say.
Hahahahaha kikikikiki to all the youths you heard it right…..in short forget about Jobs HH is moving on his usual pace so let’s try 2027 maybe when you vote for him again…not now
This guy is just too smart mwebantu,,, have you heard?? that his empty coffer statement was a fundraising idea …
Now we ve got a combined figure of half a billion US, as support from UK and the Scandinavian
@Abanyoli
Imagine the same guy who was saying he is in hurry to help the youths kikikikiki hahahaha Politician can never be your friend…kikikikikiki…slow motion….till 5 years is done….
HH’s Govt is not a Chipante Pante Govt but a Thinking Govt. Any Govt decisions or Policies will be well be thought out first. Policies will be sound,clear and consistent. Thats what we are waiting for from HH’s Govt. Having said this the appointment of Cabinet Ministers is now due. Cabinet is required urgently to direct the Economy and the Nation.
This is how quick they change the language…from campaign lies to reality and the dull youths have been duped…Bally will fix it…kikiki Bally doesn’t know how to fix it
Remember the infamous PF decision of “Gabon Disaster Stadium” then they made a U turn? So you see HH is right here .
NO NEED TO RUSH WE NEED THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT POSITIONS
LET THE PF TR000LLS CONTUNUE CRYING
AND TASTE THEIR OWN MEDICINE
There are actually more challenging decisions to make for a president of the Republic of Zambia than choosing and announcing members of cabinet. If wht we’re seeing is going to be the standard, then we don’t expect speedy decisions coming out of the HH State House. A president in Zambia has a degree of freedom of 8 whn it comes to choosing ministers by nominating to parliament people who are not elected MPs while the rest of the ministers hv to be elected MPs. It follows that a president has to work with available people and not those he wished he had.
I think there are far too many people jostling for positions in his Government. He has the alliance, the church, the youth, and others who have been with the UPND Party since its inception to think about. I imagine there are proposals and counter proposaIs. People from Southern Province, who have endured insults at the hands of Bembas, may not want to see many Bembas in his cabinet. There are many reasons for the delay and I think he is trying to reach an amicable agreement in the end with all those concerned. We will hear the cause of the delay at some point in future from those who will miss out.
@Mzambia wa Zamani…People forget that Sata u turned on his new cabinet 2 or 3 times, in the first few months. At least they know what came after that. Dollar, inflation, mealie meal……etc went up more than 200%.
Michael Chilufya Sata used to attack Chinese in Zambia until he became president and U-turned.Then poor PF decisions led us to high inflation,depreciated Kwacha ,high debts etc.
HH has a mandate to govern the country and deliver what he promised. This is a very big responsibility and he knows he can’t afford to appoint people who are ill-equipped to help him transform this great country. Look at the thugs Lungu appointed to cabinet posts: Who on God’s earth would give Kambwili and Lusambo a job as minister if your priority is to develop the nation? Stop the nonsense and allow HH to appoint responsible officials. Already HH has delivered on several fronts: Cadres are no longer on the rampage. At last Zambian is breathing fresh air after the evil smelling ichisushi Lungu and PF left behind. Is that not an achievement in such a short time? The moronic critics should just shut up and learn from the professionals discharging their duties.
Nothing wrong with it if that’s his attitude. It is always better to take time and think well before making decisions. Outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel is very much respected and revered because of her patience and ability to make carefully considered decisions.
Germans say: “In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft” meaning “strenght is to be found in serenity.”
Better late than never. No one wants inertia. He is treading cautiously. Only hoping he doesn’t drop a bombshell after a lengthy wait. Will he nominate his wife or appoint somebody we least expect? What’s keeping him so long?
He went into an election with so many to escort him. He is at pains to make a team. The time he had been in opposition was also too long that the many loyalists must be rewarded accordingly.
Hasty/poor PF decisions led us to a famous debt default.Then PF promise of “more money in your pocket in 90days” led us to 10yrs of stagnation/debts/poverty .
Mulongoti Machayi ati “no one wants inertia”.What about PF’s 10yrs of moribund economy with GDP indicators either flat or trending down?You didn’t care about that inertia,did you?
Take your time Hakainde the govt has saved a lot of money without cabinet but lessons should be drawn from this when we draft up the new constitution…this why in England Westminster the main opposition have shadow ministers or shadow cabinet to match the cabinet of the ruling party….such a clause would be vital to eliminate such delays.
@10 sight
Typical Zambian…proud to be a begger no wonder the west thinks we don’t have brains….you should be ashamed of yourself if begging excites you
The only people making noise are the PF losers and sympathizers.
They are still living in denial and want to talk aimlessly.
You had 10 years to show your leadership abilities but you failed lamentably.
Sit down , remain quiet and watch how a sound and methodical leadership works
Saulosi – keep crying for Lazy Lungu and his mediocrity….your colleague the UK based impostor has stomped off in frustration and anger as his silly act online is no more…sad sod
We have been without cabinet for over six months now and they haven’t been missed. We don’t need ministers.
@Saulosi we are begging because the pf and their visionless head have made us to.
@allfrustrated PF cadres on this platform, with HH in the statehouse many of you will commit suicide because of your frustration. He is just the opposite of what you expected of him. You hoped HH will go rushing everything, so he could make mistakes for you to start shooting your already aimed guns. But his take your time stance is wrecking you havoc with impatience and you are erupting with unreasonableness. Rest assured when HH will announce his cabinet it will be another country wide celebration, because it will be another delivery to the expectations.
He has been in Oposition for so long with same people arround him people were asking him about provisional cabinet and Budget he was jumping like a frog in the water. For some one to saying he cant rush to make whatever you call it is does not hold water. He was just making noise he was not yet ready to run the country.
And as the vain king pranced in his nakedness the crowd praised his new clothes until a child said ‘the emperor has no clothes’….
We told you he is too young and inexperienced to run a government. Bring back the real President!
