A lot more mula to dish out. We do this for our people as the patriotic government. The entire world is feeling the economic bite. We ask our citizens to exercise patience. We thank you for your understanding. Had it not being for privatisation crooks this country would be richer than it is. Kz
They give the money to banks & claim it’s stimulating the economy? What lack of thinking is this? When did Zambian Banks run the economy? Even if they did. In pf dreams, how do these Zambia banks go about stimulating the economy in Zambia were the majority are in in the streets & broke? This govt is a waste of time sure
Broad day robberies, and you voters are clapping.
So most of PF ministers bank still launder money at Atlas Mara? It is a sin to live in Lusaka.
Yobo – Clearly you have no idea how money dustribution works. This is the work of Banks. Question why non-priority sectors are included and non-banking institutions.
Who are the five non-banking institutions to have aCCESSED the money and why?.

The dunderheads are the ones who vanished because they failed to constructively debate with my hard hitting data
Well said Anonyous ………KZ is a dreamer and political stooge ……. Talks absolute rubbish like all politicians in Gov..

Where is this Money going to come from? Is BOZ going to borrow or print this Money. Printing Money is highly inflationary and the Kwacha will depreciate sharply. Prices and goods are going to skyrocket. The writing is on the wall.
