    1. Public transport charges have since increased and the poor villagers can now hardly come to Lusaka from their distant places to see their grand children.People from Lundazi have to pay close to Kr500.00 per person to and from Lusaka inclusive of out of pocket expenses during their trip.Is this the benefit the poor are enjoying for removing subsidy from fuel?

    2. You must be an idiot or some stupid person who’s just to exited for nothing please think beyond reasonable doubts, is this the explanation you can be proud of shallow minded chap.
