Ms Mutti also called on government to work on the roads leading to constituency officers so that people can easily access the offices.

  1. Useless…is it only roads that lead to the useless places that are important? What about my road for which I pay all sorts of taxes and levies.

  2. She must also bemoan the poor state of roads leading to people’s homes in Chilenje, Kamwala South, Mtendere, John Howard, ziko lonse. Have any of you politicians visited your neighbour Rwanda and asked yourselves what does Kagame have in his head that HH, Lungu, Mwanawasa, Sata, Banda didnt or dont have?

  3. Thank you madam speaker for the timely observation. And you are doing a good job in Parliament. But please help tame young parliamentarians without respect and manners. Let them enjoy their liberties and freedoms but cane them so that they can raise issues in a civil manner

  4. Look at the state of her face! Yucky. A speaker that uses jaribu. She wants to look like kamala but ended up looking like a rotten tomato kikiki. She is one behind the arrest of my brother munzir. Fuseke chi tomatao
