President Michael Sata has directed newly appointed Deputy Secretary to the Cabinet Ambassador Peter Kasanda to straighten government.
The President observed that they are some people within government who want to cause confusion and frustrate the operations of government.
He said the same government employees don’t want the PF government to succeed therefore they end up frustrating the Zambian people.
“Ambassador Kasanda ‘I decided to remove you from Foreign Service because there is a big vacuum, we are on a big MMD volcano, so I want you to straighten government. There is so much confusion they don’t want us to succeed; people who are being frustrated are common people.” Mr Sata said.
President Sata said he decided to move Ambassador Kasanda from Foreign Service because of the big vacuum in government adding that the PF government is seating on a big MMD volcano.
And President Micheal Sata today praised the Zambia Police Service for maintaining peace in Mufumbwe province ahead of the by elections slated for 8 November.
Speaking at State House this morning when he swore in Deputy Inspector General of Police Dr Solomon Jere, President Sata said the Police have done a commendable job in ensuring peace prevails in Mufumbwe.
He said he was impressed in the manner the entire Police service was working hence his decision to promote Dr Jere as Police Deputy Inspector General.
“Dr Jere am very impressed with you that’s why I have promoted you, am impressed with the entire Police force. We politicians can mislead you. You have done a commendable job we politicians can derail you. If you know that we are going to incite problems just say no, no need to explain full stop. And I want you to go to Mufumbwe, so far you have done very well there is peace in Mufumbwe.” He noted.
However President Sata cautioned Dr Jere not to be derailed by politicians as politicians were in a habit of misleading the Police.
He further advised Dr Jere not to entertain politicians who want to incite problems.
And President Sata urged newly appointed Transport, Works, Supply and Communication Permanent Secretary Dr Muyenga Hatanga to desist from single souring contractors.
He advised Dr Hatanga to follow stipulated procedures when awarding contracts to would be contractors.
“Where you are going there is too much temptation. Temptation of single sourcing for contracts, follow the tender procedure don’t single source. We expect that with your qualification and experience you be able to assist people who did not have an opportunity of attaining what you have attained.” He advised.

MMD Volcano its coming.ke,ke,ke,ke,ke
I am tired of appointments..time to work now. After a year we are still appointing and retiring on nation interest
Nkani ya volcano yashupa.Hope it is a dormant one.
How prophetic Mr President. Indeed expert and real explosion in 2016 that will send PF party into oblivion, never again to have Kaponyas near the corridors of power. We can’t wait for that day.
How nice the kaponyas outsmarted you!
High time you accepted that your time is gone.MMD wil just die a natural death like unip.Think twice yama.
You seem to forget that the people you refer to as kaponyas are the majority.
@ MMD Chief Bootlicker – better to have performing kaponyas in govt than your so-called educated MMD people – educated but foolish, criminals, crooks, thieves, womanisers, wife batterers, child molestors (i.e. RB), etc Educated and yet your own mothers and daughters were carrying their own placentas in buckets under your watch – you should actually be ashamed of supporting such nonsense of MMD
So, better if these kaponyas in office can deliver basic things which educated MMD failed – MMD is an insult to education
Its better
Far better having hard working kaponyas who have the people’s interest at heart than vile educated pompous out of touch vicious sticky fingered shameless crooks in the name of MMD. far better!!
Too many repetitions in this article ba reporter. Going on about the same point more than once….
#4 the Kaponya’s you keep insulting are the ones that vote in numbers. How are u bouncing back without their vote especially that you do not have the machinery to rig any more.
Can #4 the elitist answer the question please?
In 2016 i will vote for my fellow kaponya who understands me
IT IS YOU SATA CAUSING CONFUSION IN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE ENTIRE NATION. 2016 YOU WILL BE OUT
@kci (6) most kaponyas are dying of real starvation not the imagined one, like in the past years.
No my friend, we are still here, and guess what, we are telling all the Kaponya’s around ourselves to keep power to ourselves. You ba educated, the future is bleak bane!!
SATA IS JUST SPECIALISED IN RESHUFLING, HIRING AND FIRING APPOINTED OFFICERS. LET HIM LEARN TO GIVE HIS CADERS SETTLE DOWN IN THEIR POSITIONS..OR ELSE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE WILL SOON GIVE HIM A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE
Excessively repetitious, either the president’s or the reporter’s thought process is disjointed. In any case, what does the president mean by MMD volcano?
SATA IS JUST SPECIALISED IN RESHUFLING, HIRING AND FIRING APPOINTED OFFICERS. LET HIM LEARN TO GIVE TIME HIS CADERS SETTLE DOWN IN THEIR POSITIONS..OR ELSE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE WILL SOON GIVE HIM A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE
SATA IS A FAILED ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT..CREATING POVERTY TO MANY ZAMBIANS.
Its true Sata has no program to the zambians youths ,,they people are still sleeping with hunger..no money in the pockets..only Sata’s relatives are living well.
SATA IS A FAILED ZAMBIAN PRESIDENT..CREATING POVERTY TO MANY ZAMBIANS. MANY PEOPLE ARE JOBLESS.
We need independent MPs, the parties are miss directing us from PF, MMD, HH PARTY ETC
Let there be sanity in Cabinet, amen!!! Too much who do you know.
Some of these youths in Zambia we have cant even wash their own dishes how do you w=expect them to work. There is money in farming, in the market but too much pride.
Renaming, realigning, retiring, reviewing, reversing, dissolving. What is your plan ba PF. Mr president outline you intended direction of the economy, at your level technical issues like single sourcing should be well take care of.
Mr president reshufles and any kind of movements are permited for results, but we also need to see some deveolpement as we have always expected,its sad that trucks still overturn on great north road due to very big potholes near nakonde yet you are resurfacing some good strech near mkushi,lets have results as we know you please.
Yes very soon that volcano will explode in your ugly face ***** tribalist.
What is this MMD volcano?
@ MMD Chief Bootlicker – better to have performing kaponyas in govt than your so-called educated MMD people – educated but foolish, criminals, crooks, thieves, womanisers, wife batterers, child molestors (i.e. RB), etc Educated and yet your own mothers and daughters were carrying their own placentas in buckets under your watch – you should actually be ashamed of supporting such nonsense of MMD
So, better if these kaponyas in office can deliver basic things which educated MMD failed – MMD is an insult to education
the never ending reshuffles
Sata, Kabimba & GBM can feel the heat… some need to jump off before eruption! It will be Armageddon soon.
Mfumbwe province, who is provincial minister?
SATA IS DYING OR RESIGNING ON MEDICAL GROUNDS. DONT BLAME ME, THAT IS WHY THERE IS POWER STRUGGLE IN PF. GBM & WYNTER MAIZE KABIMBA ARE AWARE OF SATA’S CONDITION HENCE ALIGNING THEMSELVES TO TAKE OVER.
DONT SAY I’M WISHING BAD LUCK SATA, NO THIS IS COMING FROM PF ITSELF. WHY AFTER 1 YR THERE IS INFIGHTING TO SUCCEED SATA??????
Mpangula, 2013 is your final year here on earth. Therefore, ejoy your last days, mune iwe.
The President and Head of state is head on. I understand his urgency, yet how I wish it could all be done within the context of an orderly plan. For now, its chaotic, disjointed and clear disregard of merit in the appointment of critical technical staff iat top level, at Permanent Secretary and Director. Lets get a working team Mr. President. Examples abound, is appointment of ba Nsanda and Ms. Suba. Please, reconsider appointing ba Nsanda somewhere else and not at RDA.
Just out-off curiosity , do we have mufumbwe province as alleged in the article above? “And President Micheal Sata today praised the Zambia Police Service for maintaining peace in Mufumbwe province ahead of the by elections slated for 8 November.”
Mr president sir, the big volcano is not the MMD, it is the LIES you told your supporters, the promises you have failed to full-fill and the nepotism in PF!!
The heat is reaching the President. Wait and see the MMD Volcano erupt. KIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKI. Sitting on MMD Volcano.
Haters alwyas want to talk about perceived lies. I am sure you all have TV and some in BW and you watched Obama and Romney debate. They were promising electorate and so did Kadansa the new dancer on the bloke. You fulfil some and work on others. MMD left the biggest mess in the history of our country and it will take not less than 3 years to clean it up. To the youth do not mind these kawalalas trying to confuse you. They stole left, right and centre and kadansa srtil has not explained where the Roan privitazation funds went to. All we saw were billions in his account. The cobwebs are still being cleaned and retiring in national interest will continue as long as the MMD dirty is discovered in the system.
LT CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR AND SPELLING: “The President observed that they are some people…”. THIS IS IN PARAGRAPH 2. YOU ALWAYS WRITE ‘THEY’ WHERE YOU SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN ‘THERE’.
put this man on a dialysis machine please. his brain is eroding through the dis-functional kidneys. GBM and Kabimba know very well that is man is sick
This clearly shows that he is a CNP. He thinks one man can straighten govt? What utter rubbish! He himself has no plan to fix the many incapabilities and nonperformance in govt. Zambians are surely collectively stupid for having voted for this kelenka!
The bakery at the corner of your street is more likely to provide employment for you and your friends than the new mine opening provinces away from you! Word!
@ 21 Janet C and 29 Kinta Kunte IV I concur with you. GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.
sorry for sounding slow but …big MMD volcano…meaning?
The Volcano about to erupt is as a result of your lies as PF and the eruption date is unpredictable. It might even happen before 2016 Kaboom in 2013 wapya baisa.
The MMD volcanoe is about $3bn dollars reserves (which has been depleted in less than a year), triple B+ sovereign rating (which enabled you to get eurobond), unprecedented investment inflow etc etc. IS THAT THE VOLCANO YOU REFER TO SIR???
It is factual that MMD polluted the entire governance system with henchmen. Last year in July I was shocked to attend a technical committee for energy where the PS, that time was Kasonso went political. These are sabotaging the PF policies as they want to continue with corruption. So, clean up is necessary. # 32 Boondocks, you are a disrespectful nincompoop who deserves a frontal lobotomy! You are the crassest individual I have ever come across! You should have never been born in this country for you do not desrve to be part of our collective identity! You lunatics with # 4 MMD Chief Booklicker never learn that your attitude of superiority complex contributed to the loss of elections by the thieving and corrupt MMD. Who in their right mind would vote for Nevers Mumba to become president?
Ati ” to desist from single souring contractors”, Walya Iwe!
He has so far failed to explain the single-sourcing of Apollo to renovate State House.
Mr Sata for life, 2016 pack and go
There’s no other bigger volcano than Sata himself.He is volatile,prone to outbursts,only knows to hire & fire with no real coherent plans and he appears to believe only he has all the answers.
mufumbwe province yatwama kuli?
Sata is a very wise person. He sees a problem before it surfaces. This is how a person especially a leader is suppose to be.
Ziko ya ‘nchekeleko, nchekeleko! Days are numbered…the volcano will surelyerupt in 2016…can’t wait
#4. Stop dreaming. Zambians are decisive. They hate going back to old systems. MMD is gone. For good. Like Welensky, like Kaunda, and so it is with MMD. Just accept your status as relics.
Dr. Musician Jere has been awarded for arresting HH. Now that Satana heard that HH is heading to Mumfumbwe for campaigns, he sends Dr. Jere there to deal with HH. Check the rate at which we are moving with incivility. It is worrying. Anyway, what do you expect from a Dr. in Musicology???????
Those supporting mmd are sick. MMD left the mess in an preceedent manner. It is this volcano we are hearing. What can you do you fools. Do you think we’ve no memory? U need to b hit left and centre,educated fools! Criminals,yo sins ‘ll find u out!
MMD this MMD that, when is this chap going to start working. Blaming MMD yet riding on their policies and foundation.
Yes exactly.
Sata is proving to be a fool for dwelling on MMD.At some point you have to stop living off the political dividend of castigating MMD and start working to leave your own mark.Your next election won’t be decided by what MMD did,but by what progress or lack thereof you’ve made.We’re tired of MMD song just tell us what you’ll do and how.A politician of many years like Sata should not be politically naive this much.Stamp your own imprint fool.
# 21 Janet. Mr Sata and his Kaponyas LIED, DUPED, hoked Zambians, mensched,injuned,ramped,slantered,con gamed,spieled,bunco,gyped,flankered, swindled, gazumped youths,played trickeration on the poor Zambians, made a scam by shucking Zambians,rip-offed Zambia with shanghai and made a monkey on Zambians like a sucker with a shuck. Hornswoggled, whip-sawed Zambians with gaff and tweedle. Thye are slinkers never to be trusted again. Four-flushers claiming honour among thieves, PFs are scammers and sneaky with LIES Zambians will never ever trust. Come election time LIES will be hard to sell to Zambias who now know the trickery of PF great NATIONAL DECEPTION.
Bakaponya are running towns like kitwe! jpJERABOs. Away such stupidity cn only be allowed in kitwe. You can can’t do that crap in ndola, Lusaka or Kabwe!!
when it explodes kaponyaz will scamper like rats leavin behind whatever they stole ki ki ki ki
@COMPLEXITY.How many years PF has spend in Gvt?
We are sick and tired of the president Micheal Sata heaping blame on others.He from his own mouth promised our dear Kaponyas and youths many jobs and other opportunities,let him just fulfil these promises.And i thought Sata was more strategic than he actually is acting,why does he appoint incompetent people in very strategic positions.He should yes reward his cadres but let him also be strategic-chisanke-sanke every now and then.
