    • AND TO YOU I SAY PUT YOUR LAZY LUNGU BACK AS HEAD OF THE PARTY

    • Better move with a direction unlike what we used to see with your party moving just to play around dancing like kids.If it was in PF,this ceremonies would not be taking place just to punish citizens in the name of COVID.

      IMWE CHALIPWA MWALIBAKALE KU WIRE INFACT KU HALL FENCE.

    • The President is serious with uniting the nation. Three weeks ago he was in Kawambwa with Mwata Kazembe. This weekend with Chitimukulu (even though he’s a trait0r). This is leadership in action. Not ilya iyabambi ngikwite…May that useless kind of leadership be forever consigned to the pits of history.

  1. A PRESIDENT OF THE PEOPLE WORKING FOR THE PEOPLE
    MUCH BETTER THAN SITTING IN STAE HOUSE SCHEMING

  2. Better move with a direction unlike what we used to see with your party moving just to play around dancing like kids.If it was in PF,this ceremonies would not be taking place just to punish citizens in the name of COVID.

    IMWE CHALIPWA MWALIBAKALE KU WIRE INFACT KU HALL FENCE.

  3. Mr president continue with your developmental agenda but we need to earnest appeal to your team to implement the much talked about payment of napsa and znpf payment to all the beneficiaries regardless of age

  4. The President is serious with uniting the nation. Three weeks ago he was in Kawambwa with Mwata Kazembe. This weekend with Chitimukulu (even though he’s a traitor). This is leadership in action. Not ilya iyabambi ngikwite…May that useless kind of leadership be forever consigned to the dust bins of history.

  5. Heading north from south. Is Chief Chitimukulu going to appoint sectional headmen on the event of Ukusefya pa Ng’wena, or that such appointments are only a preserve of the Lwiindi Ceremony?

  6. Since may 13th 2022 we are still Waiting for government to announce when pay partial payment of napsa and znpf payment to all the beneficiaries regardless of age

  7. Also when will the presidential jet be sold? We were promised it would be sold and the money given to free education

    • It’s a process bwana. That Jet is under ZAF and it cannot just be sold like that. At least the law is being followed, not like before where someone can just say I need an expensive jet, and it’s bought for him.
