This man is a product of corruption and so how effectively can he fight the vice? Nepotism is another form of corruption if you thought its okay to recall everyone from the diplomatic mission and replace them with people who originate from the Southern Province. The govt boards are occupied with either relatives, friends or the people predominantly from the 3 Zambezi Provinces.

I will only believe when he does the right thing.
Sure Derick Chilundika is a crook
But I am worried that he had to jump to the defense of Musokotwane and Milupi. He should have at least asked them politely to step aside to allow the investigation to clear them
The Luapula minister is a simple light weight compared to these two financial giants…. that’s where the problem is….
Do we have to wait for Upnd to get out of the government to know the truth?

HH start by firing your Minister Of Information & Broadcasting, who is also the Government Spokesperson. She does [ 0 # ] zero work and gets paid for doing nothing. Honestly, HH are you not even *ashamed and *embarrassed, that you have such a dull caliber of a person in your Cabinet, that is stealing money from the government for doing nothing. Corruption is inside your cabinet. This really stinks !!
INDEPENDENT OBSERVER:
He has no balls. Its sounds like HH is indirectly talking to his Minister of Information and Broadcasting, our Government Spokeswoman. She is a piece of wasted toilet tissue…….
@INDEPENDENT OBSERVER What you demand just shows how irrelevant that Ministry is. Its just a drain on public revenue. People have for a long time correctly pointed out that the Ministry of Information and broadcasting is not needed in a democracy because it shows that the government wants to control freedom of expression.
Tell me what does Chushi do for the cabinet? And What does UPND cadre masquerading as dubious spokesperson Kawana do? Read opposition comments then react to them. Do we need to pay a civil servant for that? This government promised not to waste money but here they are paying Kawana for doing nothing.
Hh we both know that fighting corruption in zambia is a losing battle. Why not use that energy to achieve one thing in your reign like enacting the LGBT bill of rights?
HH has no capacity to fight corruption , but a defender of corruption in his government the man is not transparent in his own life how can he be when in government .
This guy has filled the public house institution (state house )with people from his village this house doesn’t belong to any individual it belongs to all Zambians from the ten provinces in Zambia.
The man couldn’t disclose his assets when he became president he left it open so that he could steal as must as he could during his term of office . Just look at how he shields his accomplices when a whistle blower sounds, he quickly steps in to stop it .
With this president more Zambians will be disappointed who felt he meant well for the nation
Corruption is in the blood
I would say show me an honest zambian and i will show you Jesus
Only lgbt are honest abiding. Let us have an lgbt president next and see how the country will become heaven on earth.
Mundubile
HH fighting corruption is like putting a Monkey in a maize field and expecting the Monkey to just sit and admire the maize cobs…HH is the a product of massive corruption…a known Bandit
Whenever I drive on that stretch of the Chingola-Solwezi road in Mushindamo and then listen to this man brag about his fight against corruption, I understand that he’s just talking nonsense
I repeat my comment LT. What was “powerful” in this speech? Ati
In a powerful address to Zambians residing in Ghana,
It’s powerful in the ears of the cadre reporting.
Yet you fail to declare your assets for transparency and a private residence has been turned into an official residence obviously with touch ups using public resources is that not corruption in itself. Since when he leaves after serving his term(s) the building remains his ,my question will he pay back the public money used .
