    These are the people you like for themselves, the people who push you to be a better GRZ.

    One wishes political parties did more to protect taxpayer and Minority investors like Finland did for GRZ During election.

    GRZ you have a virtuous friend Finland.

  3. Mr President where are your white gloves when your brother came from DRC came to visit you ..you took them out!!

  4. A whole president saluting another country. That is what western puppets are like. When your elections are funded by gay foreign elements you will be controlled forever. Soon the gays will be roaming around freely. At the moment they freely roam at community house.

    Tarino you are very slow. By now you should know that hh only wears mask and gloves when he is interacting with negros like you. He believes the whlte species is special and clean. A self-hating negro

  5. Finland is an all-weather friend to Zambia and this is evidenced by the support of SMEs in Zambia. This country has no ill business motives in Zambia.

  6. Unbelievable, the whole article keeps writing Finish, it’s FINNISH! My word.
    And I must say Finland has been very helpful, we need to engage them more in matters of managing public resources to benefit everyone. Finland leads in that score.
    Here is an interesting piece of trivia about Finland. Traffic offences are fined according to your tax filings from the previous year. If you declared assets of over 100 million kwacha like some ministers did, and you commit a traffic offence, you can end up paying 10 million as opposed to a situation where the fee is fixed at K300 for instance. Where does that money go? Towards provision of free education and social services.
    It’s time we stop begging for money and begin to borrow ideas from Finland.
