  1. We are yet to see the benefits of Mr. Lungu’s excessive trips abroad.

    What happened to our relationship with Turkey? Or Israel? This government made so many trips to these and other countries, yet we have nothing to show for them.

    At this time of austerity measures, this government should really ban unnecessary foreign trips.

    • Austerity measures are on paper only. There has not been anything substantive that the pronouncement has yielded.

  2. “The plane carrying the President Lungutouched…”
    “President Lunguwas…”

    Lusaka times you mean your Computers do not have spellcheck functions? These are not even primary school type of mistakes but something else.

The good news is that it is UNELECTABLE.

  3. The country japan is excellent, but the person visiting is wrong, nothing good will come out not from japan but lungu

    • The people who are in UPND are tribal. The UPND tribal party is dump and the person who represents is dull!

  4. The first flight of Turkish airline landed at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport and people are still questioning.British airways cancelled its flights to Zambia.Hallow my fellow countrymen that’s why it’s now so expensive to fly to Zambia.

    • Use Ethiopian airlines, only £415 return. With this fare you can even go twice a year.

  5. LT why are you using a photo of a skunk drunk lungu at mulungushi under a Japan visit headline ??
