President Michael Sata has with immediate effect appointed Itezhi tezhi UPND Member of Parliament Hon. Greyford Monde as Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock.
This is contained in a press State statement issued by George Chellah special assistant for press and public relations.

“…I have appointed you Deputy Minister and have assigned you to the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock,” read President Sata’s letter to Hon. Monde in part.

President Sata says he is confident that Hon. Monde will perform to his expectations and that of the Zambian people.

Meanwhile, President Sata has swapped Commerce minister Hon. Robert Sichinga with his Agriculture counterpart Hon. Emmanuel Chenda.
The changes are with immediate effect.

    • @ kubeba nomba,,,, am told this appointment of a tonga-lozi man to agriculture deputy minister position comes with view to helping in mealie meal criss, the new UPND man comes handy with some valuable agricultural skills… to help ishilu

    • Kubeba Nomba what do you understand or wnat do you know by inclusive government?I think what Sata is doing is a good job.You cannot develop a country by leaving out members of the opposition.They are Zambians as well and have to be part and parcel of the development process.Those who condemn this gesture are surely not interested in the development of Zambia.RB and MMD used to say that if you dont support us you will not see development in your area.This is MMD policy was very retrogressive!!

  3. I think the traits shown by the president are regrettable
    In weakening the opposition by undermining the opposition equates to undemocratic practices

    I am sure there are people more deserving of Deputy ministers within PF. There is no need to undermine your own party especially after the allegations labelled against them in the Johannesburg ‘paid for party’

    The president must change his advisers

    Thanks

    that very unprofessional, to insult the president like that. The legal arms of government can easily trace u if they want to especially if use a personal computer or mobile device. Don’t think wen u use anonymous names, u are safe and can insult anyhow. The net leaves footprints of which ever sites u visit.

    • Minoc, is the kind of society you are trying to scare us on the one you want your children to live in? Regardless of what people say, I think leaders (and their secret agencies) should know that sometimes it is just a way of venting their frustrations at unfulfilled promises. Democracy, as championed by the pre-election PF, has now changed with the post-election PF? We should be scared to speak surely? UNIP and later Chiluba tried so hard to shut people up. Lets learn from our own history we dont even need to use Gadafi, Hitler or Mobutu. You cant succeed to keep people in fear or under lock and key for any statement they utter that you dont like. Follow-up people just having fun on the internet?????????

    • Wilantinya iwe. How best can you describe this obsession with appointments. I guess, he has made more appointments than Obama who is in his second term. Maybe even Mugabe who has been in power since 1980.

    • @kubeba nomba… you are right bro, some of these things have to be questioned….minoc just follows the masses with his eyes closed and no questions, the man has no soul

    • The long arm of the law never misses.You can debate reasonably but not insult.You will see chimbokaila alone without a crowd to clap for you!

  7. WELCOME ON BOARD BA MONDE, IF YOU CAN’T BEAT THEM JOIN THEM – KIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKI – HH – KIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKI

    • #9 u not normal!

      Thees are last kicks of a dying horse! For goodness sake even if Dictator Sata is so corrupt, how does he appoint 3 Deputy Ministers in the same Ministry of Agriculture & Livestock when Zambians are dying from Mealie Meal shortages?

      If Dictator Sata & PF democracy killer squad thugs still thinks that the complaints from the Civil & opposition are things they should ignore they are in for a rude shock

      Things for PF will only get worse for them. No Zambians like these PF thugs who have made life difficult for Zambians from Mealie Meal shortages to everything

      If Dictator Sata is not careful, he may be killed the way late Libyan Dictator Gaddaffi & Romanian Communist Dictator Nicolae Ceau?escu were killed by angry soldiers & people in their countries

  11. Chenda should just be fired!!!!!! Why switching him to commerce? He will just mess up things there as well like he did to agriculture..

  12. Another bye-election in the offing. Wonder if the Honourable Minister of Finance included this in his 2012 Budget? If not, which government programme listed in his Budget will be discontinued?

  14. BA SATA AT HIS BEST VIVA MY PRESIDENT, EVERYTHING IN POLITICS IS FARE.TEACH OPPOSITION LEADERS TO EDUCATE THEM SELVES.THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT ONE OF THEIR OWN MP IS IN THE GOVT

  17. PF HAD AND HAS VERY FEW TO FILL SUCH POSITIONS. ACTUALLY LET THE OPPOSITION JOIN IT SO THAT THEY WILL HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY AR POPULAR; WE WILL WITHDRAW THEM IN 2016. THEY ARE OUR INFORMERS

    • @Mushota#18
      The construction of your question is problematic.
      Being a PhD candidate means alot to some of us and we would traditionally expect our counterpart to have been trained in formulating questionnaires for research purposes. For example, you use questionnaires in obtaining useful statistical information from individuals about a research topic
      Which one of the two following posts is higher than the other, a post of a permanent secretary or a post of a deputy minister? This question is correct and precise unlike your construction above.
      You cannot use ‘more’ and ‘higher’ in one sentence. ‘More’ is used as an adjective to modify a noun by quantifying or describing it. Note that at the end of ‘high’ ‘er’ is added, because of this addition you cannot write ‘more’…

    • @Mushota, basic English grammar, you can not use more and higher in the same sentence. Revise your secondary school english grammar

    • HH is not poor sir. I wonder if you know how much money will be used for the by -elections? At times its better to be factual and remain true to ourselves as well as others. PF should have gone directly to UPND to ask for an MP not back door. Would someone tell me that this is not aimed at weakening the opposition?

    • Ba Slu, Poorman is used metaphorically. Not necessarily that HH is poor in terms of material and financial wealth. That phrase is used simply to denote that he is “innocent” in the scheme…

  20. Those are government are panicking wanting to get out of the stinking government and yet this is when this Moono want to join. I suspect this Moono stole something or has Nkongole where the government has threatened to take him to court the way they did t o Muchima. What did you do Moono which has corrupted your morals.

  22. From the look of things SATA enjoys these by-elections, he doesn’t even care or mind about how much we are wasting on these no-good by-elelctions. I just want to remind him that his time will come to an end very soon if he doesn’t realise the importance of caring for citizens of this once democratic nation.

    • i dont agree with you. sata is a real politician. each and every move he makes is well thought and definitely increases PFs political points. if you ask me, there is no comparison with any other politician weve had in this country. i dont even want to talk about those opposition leaders who are jumping all over like headless chickens!!

  23. if pipo in th oppositions hv th solutions to problems in th agric sector, y nt involve thm? besides, these pipo ar good farmers who cn contribute to th wel being of th nation,i hope hh wl swallow his pride and allow this man to work for us.

  25. One year down the line he still has headaches selecting the right people to work in his Government. I can imagine the jitters on PF members every time this man stands on a podium. i thought these positions are already allocated whilst in the Opposition? Any way this PF party never held any convention during their tenure in the Opposition. Madness at its best in plot one.

  26. Minoc (^5), is the kind of society you are trying to scare us on the one you want your children to live in? Regardless of what people say, I think leaders (and their secret agencies) should know that sometimes it is just a way of venting their frustrations at unfulfilled promises. Democracy, as championed by the pre-election PF, has now changed with the post-election PF? We should be scared to speak surely? UNIP and later Chiluba tried so hard to shut people up. Lets learn from our own history we dont even need to use Gadafi, Hitler or Mobutu. You cant succeed to keep people in fear or under lock and key for any statement they utter that you dont like. Follow-up people just having fun on the internet?????????

  28. It is very wise to appreciate that we are all in it together, yesturday, today and tomorrow, ruling and opposition. No one, or no party should be allowed to live and preach some parallel political life experiences in our country. What is really the benefit of ever talking down what those in govt are doing. In govt we have our brothers and sisters who we went to school with, we worked with, we mourn with, we travel same roads, we go to same hospitals, we live in same townships, we go to church together. So what really is so drastic that differentiates those in opposition from those ruling if not only power to manage national resources. No one will be more a genius than the rest of us all. Let PF rule, they have the mandate. HH and Nevers or is it Nawakwi, or Chipimo Jnr, they are all same.

  30. No wonder we say we need some one with a degree because these types of people are sieved with the Grade 7 exam but no people were chuffed with rubbish from his mouth.

    • How many degree holders have contributed effectively to the economical development of this country? Just when Prof Chirwa suggested an underground train,PHD holders were the first to pull him……..If you are so learned,put up something in the private sector and show it everyone that your brains have done something….

    • Hello “maps” – The problem with Chirwa is that he has contaminated his brain with Kaponya mentality. How does a man of his calibre start saying we have experience in building underground commuter trains when there is non existing in Zambia. Do you consider such PhD holders to have their senses upright? The underground locomotives on the Copperbelt would be considered toys operating in a poorly ventilated environment without amenities for human survival. For this reason miners are allowed to work only 2 hrs and the rest of the time is spent transporting them to work stations.

      Very soon you will see Bob Sichanga behaving in a similar fashion because his brains are slowly getting deranged with Kaponya mentality.

  33. Congratulations Honourable Monde on your deserving appointment. The PF Government is on course to transform this country and its only sensible that you join the Government of the people by the people and for the people. Better still, the President is the only inspirational and visionary leader who will deliver this country to prosperity. Viva Sata, Viva PF

    • In your dreams really! Sata is like Idi Amin who started as a savior & hero but ended up as the waste Dictator the world has ever had!

      Sata has all the traits & characteristics of Idi Amin Dada of Uganda:
      Uneducated
      Lost
      Backward
      Fixed
      Autocratic
      Paranoid
      Abusive
      Manic

      The list is endless

  34. HISTORY SEEMS TO REPEAT ITSELF!!!! TODAY THERE IS ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EAST ROAD INVOLVING A POST COURLIER VAN AND ZAMBIA- MALAWI BUS.ALL THE TRAVELLERS IN THE POST VAN ARE FEARED DEAD AND THE PRESIDO AS USUAL GOES ON TO APPOINT SOME PEOPLE AND SWEAR THEM IN!!!!

    WHEN WILL THE BLOOD OF INNOCENT PEOPLE GOING TO TAKE THIS LUNATICS?

  35. With this NEWS…..i guess HH will suffocate with hatred and anger, maybe this time he wil hold a press conference on the MOON coz on the SUN he will burn

  36. Monde will be replaced by someone responsible. leadership is not about your own stomach and ego. it is for providing leadership that will develop the nation for the majority poor to also benefit. Monde has a degree ( i guess) and so may never be poor. Zambia and Africa as a whole needs strong opposition for our governments to function. Otherwise let alone, they will even be snoring in parliament and offices and do whatever they want like wasting billions of kwacha to again give us a bad constitution that will not foster development. we know our problems as africans and so why should we continue on the same path as other races progress. we have to create our own kind of democracy that responds to our problems and not the one we just adopted from the west. Those people have high morals.

  37. well done mr president at least upnd mps have never tested ministerial positions so he will be the first to test it .a step ahead ka hh who has never be driven in a zambia flag car.

  38. #9 u not normal!

    Thees are last kicks of a dying horse! For goodness sake even if Dictator Sata is so corrupt, how does he appoint 3 Deputy Ministers in the same Ministry of Agriculture & Livestock when Zambians are dying from Mealie Meal shortages?

    • #38.1 amoni,

      Stop being silly & ignorant!

      You do not respect a Dictator like Sata who is wasting money on political prostitute like Monde! How does Sata create 3 ministers in one Ministry when we voted for him because he promised us that he will have a small govt! Now he has a big govt even in Zambian history!

      Sata is just corrupt & wants to corrupt corrupt people like Monde!

  39. Dictator Sata should wake up & stop his evil schemes of wasting our money on bribing these corrupt elements like Monde!

    Zambians want their money spent wisely!

    They don’t want decrees from Sata but wants democracy to play its course!

    • You probably have no heart to see mother Zambia & its people develop or you are one who has been bribed by PF & Sata!

      Shame on you

    • Pipo who are with Sata are busy working and positively changing pipos lives, when you are busy exchanging bad words…. thats why Zambia is not developing too much talk and PHD syndrom. Shame!

  41. Sata is so sick me1ntally & physically, he only stands after taking strong pain killers during State house appointment of his relatives & CROWNS.

  42. Sata is so sick mentally & physically, he only stands after taking strong pain killers during State house appointment of his relatives & CROWNS.

  43. tongas surely you not normal .he appoints a bemba person ati farmily tree.he appoints your relative ati he is destroying democracy .mwaba shani mwefi bantu imwe

    • And you think its normal to appoint 3 Ministers in one Ministry when poor Zambians are dying from hunger?

      The money that is paid to bribe Monde can be spent on developmental projects not like this uneducated evil maniac self centered called Sata is misusing our money to corrupt his stooges like Monde!

  44. #33 Prof,

    In your dreams really! Sata is like Idi Amin who started as a savior & hero but ended up as the waste Dictator the world has ever had!

    Sata has all the traits & characteristics of Idi Amin Dada of Uganda:
    Uneducated

    Manic

    The list is endless

    • mulechemafye ingombe mwe fibatonga ukeminne naiwe tukamone ngakuti wawina ama elections we bwawe chi shaka fimasukulu fya ma leakage efyo muyufwilapo

  45. We want Obama to order the CIA to direct a hell fire drone into the Old Colonial Governor’s mansion on Independence Avenue. Rumour has it that there is a high value terrorist target hiding there! This target is not usually seen in public. It just releases recorded statements just like Osama Bin Laden!

  48. Gentlemen, Let us not use vulgar language to insult honorable men and women.
    Debate in a way to win the battle of reasoning not insults.

    If you are using a computer or Mobile device know that the long arm of the law will be on you very soon.

    Please don’t comfort your self thinking you will not be arrested but bear in mind that time will not be on your side.

    Am talking about the person with the Sudo name ‘Kubeba Nomba’. You will be arrested soon.

    • That is the problem!

      In your dreams shall u see what u are trying to intimidate Zambians! If u continue beating Zambians as u did during the UPND Kabwata rally, your time will come when u will be arrested, no matter your position just as Savior Chungu & KK were arrested!

      You are a backward Dictator Sata’s violent PF party cadre who practices politics of intimidation & fear!

      How many times has leaders in democratic countries been criticized in more than Sata is being criticized now?

      Sata promised to have a small govt & he has appointed a big govt against his promises to us Zambians who voted him!

      Honestly u want Zambians to praise & fear Dictator Sata the way Zambia UNIP communist Dictator KK was feared under his autocratic govt even when he was barking on radio?

  50. That is the problem!

  51. As Kaunda became unpopular in the 1980s there was also a corresponding increase in the number of political appointees. Between 1986 and 1996 . Both the Cabinet and Central Committee expanded from 50 to 120! Since the current Chimbwi is also a retard, expect his bureaucracy to expand. He is a fossil who is not fit to run a government in the 21st century!

  52. This is sad development for our country. Leaders have put self interests at the expense of the national interest. Everyone knows that he will be expelled, so why appoint him? why should he accept the appointments? By-elections are costly for the nation and it’s high time someone taught these MP that they are in Paliarment to make laws and not accept cabinet positions (I know the current constitution allows for this- explains the reasons to change it). This is the pervation which has rocked our country. MPs think they are now executive/Governors when they should be making laws in Parliament for the country and repealling those which have become redundant over time!

  54. All posts against the President are of no substance and can only written by pipo who are like one of those two women before king Solomon.Go,go Mr Sata!

    • This is good we support this move by HE MCSata.We need Zambia to develop The Presiden is spot on and it’s within our constitution.I expect those who critise the President to agree on this.Now he appoInts a brother from Siuthern Province what do what do we say , shame on us.Here in the UK the hslf Mps from the ruling party refused to vote for gay marriages and there is no expelled from the party they spoke openly while the Opposion did.Probably based on principal i suppose ,not on party lines. MPs are elected by the people.

  55. In PF we call this adding salt to the wound! Next time you go to hold a press conference in Pakistan, we will appoint half your MPs. Did educated HH ever hear the lecture talk of stratege?

    • Agreed..PF are good at political strategy against their opponents. However, I’m more concerned about developmental strategy which seems to be impulsive and haphazard at the moment.

  56. Congratulation BoMoonde for being brave and standing for the reality>We need development not threats as we have already heard from upAndOWN as usual?Those from the opposition could even use this opportunity to influence government decision in a peaceful manner.Shame to opposition, how can one sensible leader go to a foreign country and talk about his country negatively.Learn from the Americans, who had elections last year.But after elections they united.They did not vow to make it difficult for Obama to govern, instead they pledged to work together in the interest of USA development and supremancy!Why can’t lucifer nevers mumba and his arrogantly rich counter to do the same instead of leading PF into temptation with their arrogance.lucifer mumba beware of upAndoWN it will finish you!!!!

  57. LT Can you moderate these kids from ZWD who are polluting your site!! We want debate and uncultured manners they are displaying. Its very clear they are from broken homes or they were abused by thier parents big time.

  58. Never ending appointments! forget about party affiliations, what happened to reducing the bloated number of ministers as promised?

  60. this clearly indicates that pf of of failures at school, reason why they keep on poaching from other parties, ala ni ba grade 7 drop-outs, chisungu fye ichi, and fool cant speak, but akantu paper work, even sata himself cant speak fluent english. so dont wonder, they seriously need leanrt people, bravo opposition.

    Monde is Lozi, if am not mistaken, ask what his name means, he will be in position to explain, so late him do like wise.
