President Rupiah Banda this morning left for Kampala, Uganda for the three day Smart Partnership Dialogue where he will handover the chairmanship to his Ugandan counterpart Yoweni Museveni.
He will be among the Ten Heads of States that will participate in the various activities lined up for the Smart Partnership Dialogue, under the theme “ Towards Smarter Globe –The Smart Partnership Way for Realising Socio- Economic Transformation through Regional Integration.”
Speaking to Journalists at Lusaka International Airport shortly before his departure, President Banda says Zambia has benefited a lot from the smart partnership which provides an opportunity to dialogue and consult on economic challenges which the country is currently facing.
He said the purpose of the smart partnership is to bring people, Heads of States and business people form over Africa and the world over to find smart ways of overcoming various economic problems.
Mr. Banda said Zambia is looking forward to dialoguing and learning from those countries that have been in the smart partnership business and have benefited greatly from the dialogue.
Mr. Banda is accompanied by First Lady Thandiwe Banda, Finance and National Planning Minister Dr. Situmbeko Musokotwane and Commerce Minster Felix Mutati.
The president was seen off by Vice president George Kunda, chief government spokes person Ronnie Shikapwasha, Service Chiefs, other senior cabinet officials and Deputy Ministers and party officials.
President Banda is expected to present a key note speech during a cocktail party detailing Zambia’s accomplishments for the movement during its tenure as chair.
President Banda is also expected to participate in various discussions on topics that include National Visions for transforming communities and municipalities, strategic input to integrated development and market access through strategies for quality infrastructure as well as the global financial crisis.

Following “President Banda is expected to present a key note speech during a cocktail party detailing Zambia’s accomplishments for the movement during its tenure as chair.” what accomplishments will this man talk about??? And why cant he send representatives or do video conferencing?? isnt there such kind of technology sure?? does he have to fly out every time there is a ka function.. just last week he was here for Mandelas birthday… twabwelapo fye ifwe with leadership….

Attention all greetings. Take careful note of some character who has taken the way of the devil in trying to dent my great blogname and character.
I am hoping LT will teach him/er a lesson since I have made contact about this already.
On Mr “… President Banda says Zambia has benefited a lot from the smart partnership…“, what exactly has Zambia benefited. No or half or whatever percentage truth is not good.
Be blessed all.

Beware of some evil-driven sick and wicked impersonator using my blogname with a Nigerian flag and sometimes a USA one. I believe his is ba Dr Maureen who has been a terrible loser in debating.

#5…. hahaha, just pack your bags when you hear there is something happening somewhere….befriend his itenerary manager
#8, Miss Daisy, #5 made my day.. Banda is a strange presido…
I posted one for you on T.D Joshua thread… check…
more later..
I think ba Dr Maureen is actually doing a better job representing you!
#Mrs Stevens, i have checked it out
I cant figure out any benefit zambia has benefited from this partnership. Some of this organisation better not to join because it becomes a liability to the nation.
#11, Miss Daisy, I laughed at myself loud.. its supposed to be T.D. Jakes thread , but I said T.D.Joshua… anyway, whats the difference??
Frankly Spaeking this forum was just supposed to be attended by Commerce minister in this case Felix mutati.
George Kunda can you please invest in video conference tools, as a cost saving measure. RB can use that instead of all these trips.
hahahaha.. i didnt even see that…
Even a telephone conference works well these days. (Thoug IP Telephone for RB cause he can speak the whole day about the oppostion)
He will just go there and talk about Sata and HH and boost of the almost 100% votes he got in Luapula, Northern, Southern, Eastern, North Western, Lusaka, Central, Western and Copperbelt provinces. Ubufi Zambia has almost 4,000,000 eligable voters and if you get 950,000 votes then you are not president of even a Province
it’s not just zambia.. all of those african leaders attending that conference are just wasting their people’s time. Whatever this “partnership” is.. it is complete bulls***
hello dudes and dudettes, as much as i would love to massacre this dude over this trip, i skim as current chairman, he really has to be there (cant beleive am sayin this) to hand over chairmanship. if, on the other hand he was just goin there as an ordinary member OMG i wud have unleashed!
Dont come back!
ciroc # 19, u damn rite. nuthin and i mean total zilch ever comes out of these flippin seminars or watever. smart partnership what? i thought smart was synonymous with, well, intelligent beings. i, for one, would not dare accuse the majority of our african leaders of being smart. that wud be crossing the line.
#21 woman of substance, we block his a.s.s. at the border like the Honduran dude. Block the runways to the airport with the flippin hearses they bought, Teta, Mulongoti, Shikas jammed in the front seat of one of them with explosives shoved up their a-holes. now that wuld be a delight to behold.
#23 dudelove
I second that emotion.
#23…hahahahah, can i come and help.. i will hold the flags of ….DO NOT LAND… i read… DO NOT LAND….. then he will go to zimbabwe and if he tries to cross by road.. you will be waiting for him na ba moze pa border with hearses…bahahahaha
#24 and #25 ….and then,….and then…..and then…. we come back to reality with a thump, but its cool to fantasise tho. in my fantasies, Teta works in an old peoples home in the UK and these are those tuma racist old pipo. But again, he’d probably talk them to death.
All these complaints whenever RB travels are as futile as the attempts to impeach him. After all some of these trips are really indispensable. You all must not forget that RB did not impose himself on the Zambian people, he was elected. Better think wiser next time you vote again instead of complaining.
At 1st glance thru paragraph 1, I was excited that at least African leaders are considering “Smart” approaches to solving economic problems without involving too much carbon emmission, or green-house gases. But, as I read further I discovered that the meeting has absolutely nothing to do with “Smart approaches to solving economic problems”. It is merely a fancy phrase African leaders name or give to most of those useless meetings with no meaningful economic solutions. Let alone “Smart Ways ” ways of production.
is where u have a preseident who travels so frequently that the state house cooks complain of wasted food
cnt from 28. In very simple terms “Smart Way” of doing things could be attributed to organic farming, where chemicals (inorganics) are avoided during land cultivation for crops, and animal breeding. Another “Smart Approach” is where houses (or any buildings) are built which are smart enough to detect when to turn on/off a certain resource. Eg, when to draw the curtains, to turn on lights in a room when a person enters a particular room and turning lights off when a person leaves the room. All this is to encourage minimum usage of energy and hence reduce on carbonemmission. In some cases this involve computer ‘Software’. If this is what they are discussing-CONGRATULATIONS.
#4 Miss Daisy. In fact thats what I am talking about. If that meeting had really to do with “Smart Approaches”, video conferencing is one of the ways to avoid unnecessary usage of energy with consequences of high greenhouse gases. But with computers only in the hands of MPs and ministers, how do they hope to archive “Smart Solutions”. Maybe these chaps don’t know the meaning of “Smart Solutions”.
when Thandiwe is accompanying RB, Dora stays back & vice-versa, chabashani kanshi????
It was a big mistake and a disaster to invite this man from his farm to be vice president.
#34, thats why you will never hear me talk about the so called “mwanawasa legacy” if you ask me – to me mwanawasa’s rule was just a joke, he took us for serious fools so much that he could appoint anyone from anywhere at will with impunity….. i have no kind words for Levy not at all!!!
It is obvious that the main motivation for all his trips are travel allowances he is collecting on nearly a daily basis. Does this man ever do any work in the President’s Office? Does, he even spending time studying what is happening in different ministries? Does, he have any time to reflect on national issues? Does he even have time to reflect on the plight of the people and how his role can contribute to development? I think this man is total waste of time.
Ati Nic. Sarkozy fimofimo naingila pa Percy military hospital?
RB is a womanizer, a thief and an ignorant fool. important to remember he came from society so in large part thats how z society is. cant hope to develop with such mentalities. HIV monging s#wine can never dream of achieving anything big. a hyena will always be a hyena.

# 8 Maestro please have repsect for people esp those that dont relate to your useless tribal babblings,. What makes you think no one can use your EU flag to impersonate you. I have also been impersonated today and I havent attacked well-meaning bloggers ok/. Afterall who would want to impersonate a fool like you ? Swin3 !
40 Ba Dr Maureen greetings. Your bad behaviour is very easy to notice by any clever person as expressed in your “Afterall who would want to impersonate a f o o l like you ? Swin3 !“. Continue in your delusion, but you are welcome to give it up before it is too late for you to amend you current position.
Just re-look at your Nigerian flag.
I hope LT will teach you some lesson, but since its not openly known whether you are linked to LT, I can only look to the good Lord God to help you. Anyhow, have a blessed day.

40 Ba Dr Maureen greetings. Your bad behaviour is very easy to notice by any clever person as expressed in your “You really feel you own LT huh ? You can take your horns and go hump 7 chickens or more.” and thus you need to change your insulting wicked behaviour.

Well, far from it! Sorry but i really can’t help it.I live in the place where they still point at an aeroplane (in excitement and astonishment) when it’s passing in the sky.Therefore,i’m very obliged that i was at the airport to see off RB and his entourage when they left for Uganda.
These trips need to be audited. God bless Zambia.
#44 Chikumbuso, you are right. I used to read this chap’s contributions. But I found that the chap was simply tribal, massively un professional, and spiteful. In the first place you can not compare some of these ‘overeducated’ chaps with Sata. Sata with little formal education has wisdom, intellegence, and a very high IQ. So ba Maureen, as Chikumbutso, has pointed out just ignore the chap’s blogging. After all he doesn’t use his head apart from copying and pasting.
this person is an bbbb uuuuuuu lllllllllllll shhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttt.
Peter Chikumbutso, thanks guys for coming to my rescue. Arguing with this cow can make other bloggers know who the real cow is. I rest my case with this horned tribalist.
It seems ba kaamba ba RB tabafwaya ukutekako amatako panshi. last time I asked Thandi as to why, she simply replied that “balayateka kuntubaya’
Yangu tata…..
#50 Please leave the Physicist Maestro alone!!!! Yaa
RB ,the globe trotter….will he ever rest or is he trying to catch-up?We have a tourist for a president! awe bane mwacita over!!
You guys did you see the cadre at the airport in the Sunday post, it was like RB had to be shown what a Porno looks like before live. Ever since this guy became President he has Travelled all over the World. What a Presdent Just busy using tax Payers Money.
Imwe ma bloggers pa Uganada nipafupi, why are you bi…ing
48 Peter thanks for the observation…….Ba Maureen mwanisekesa ati cow…..good morning all bloggers 54 i didnt see the picture i only read where sata said RB was enjoying what he was seeing.
@Shani ba Matrworld Nice Guy ?
48 Peter, 50 Ba Dr Maureen and 56 Chikumbutso, your sickness comes out like that from the fact that you are of the same character as someone said “birds of the same feathers always flock together” and this is why an insulting character has received your insulting encouragement. Change for the better as your bitterness will never take you anywhere in this life. Have a blessed day all.

The Zambian president’s travels abroad are synonymous with the infamous dances for him at the airport before departure and on arrival. Have you seen one of the dances for the president in today’s Post News? What do you think of the picture, I hope the president will comment.
Where is he getting the money to fund these expensive trips. Workshops in the civil service had been banned to save money and the same should be done with these Presidential trips. How many trips have Zambian Presidents made to these conferences and yet Zambia’s economy it still moving downwards. Lead by example RB.
Ba RB is always travelling ever since he came into power,He’s enjoying himself instead of concertrating more on governing the country.
