It is not shocking to many Zambians that lungu is still saying that he has no vision. Just recently in Senga Hill, Masaiti and Chawama he mentioned of him depending on other people’s wisdom to govern the nation. Lungu ride on Sata’s legacy to land into state house not because of his own work. True PF members should be aware that MMD has come back to take over their beloved party whether they like it or not. The candidates in Masaiti and Senga hill are all MMD and one wonders if PF did not have credible members to stand.
Edgar lungu up to now has not given clear economic policies to the nation. Zambians are still in confused state as where our nation is heading to. The benefit of that pronouncement is to act as a guide to his team. No wonder his cabinet is not organized up to now. His leadership is based on the try and error at the expense of poor Zambian.
The lungu’s government has failed to handle the issues of corruption. How can a serious government adopt the candidates whose seats were nullified on basis of electoral mal-practices fight corruption? Look at the way the office of DPP has been handled, it raise a lot of eye-blow. Lungu is a lawyer who should know that the DPP office must be protected at all cost. The way things are going people are wondering whether DPP is actually the original target to fix.
Lungu if he has any vision for Zambia then he should drop the minister of finance, mines, energy and information. These ministers seem not to know their roles. The minister of finance has failed to collect taxes from Times of Zambia, Daily mail, ZNBC but quizzing the post news paper. The minister of finance and mines has on many times misled Zambians on the mining taxations, hence, the free fall of kwacha. The minister of energy has no plan to make ZESCO to be efficient and profitable and managing fuel crisis in our country.
The minister of information is just there to bully people and defend PF not Zambians. The freedom of press and associations do not have a place in Zambia any more. The poor journalist working in public media are not at peace. The post newspaper and Zambian watchdog have been threatened of closure by the minister. The opposition leaders like Edith nawakwi, Erick Chanda, Charles Milupi and Hakainde Hichilema have not been spared just because they are providing checks and balance. ZNBC has now been turned into PF mouth-piece forgetting that many Zambians pays TV levy.
Education sector has run down has evident of sponsoring only 2000 students out of over 14000 at CBU this year. The new graduate should now be selling tomatoes in PF government.
A constitution which was supposed to be in enacted within 90 days has become a nightmare. It therefore my appeal to all Zambians to demand a constitution before 2016 general elections and it should be adopted through a referendum .please vote wisely next time.
I am disappointed with you Willy, you are profiling Zambia like it is a kantemba. A lot of crap you have said borders on prejudice and you are the mercenaries that are shamelessly dividing the country. It’s a pity i saw this article late and maybe you won’t even see my comments. Don’t you know the US government has squeezed the dollar in the global market and left other currencies tumbling? Do your homework here!On Dora et all’s electoral malpractices are you defying the Supreme court ruling? In other words, are all the lawyers privy to these cases not competent enough? Come on! And do you provide checks and balances by insulting the president? Are you human? Mr Chikwanda at the moment is the key person in governmentwho and uses alot of consultations in most of the policies he makes or attempts to make, suffice here that Zambia is riddled with massive problems which the PF government is trying to deal with. I urge you to pursue studies for your personal growth and stop depending on government handouts.Sela babombe!
Do Zambians have any measure? He can even tell them that he has no brains, or that he is whatever…they will still vote for him! It’s intriguing how Zambians can throw out reasoning!
Give President Lungu a break, the vision story can no longer sell. The problems you are attributing to him could not have been caused by him in just three months of his rule. That is why you should give him time to govern, otherwise even your HH will face similar challenge if ever he wins. However I know you wont agree because you are one of those bitter UPND cadres who are wallowing in self pity. Lets move on. Be critical but for heaven’s sake be objective.
For as long as UPND pursues the Agenda of malicious criticism laced with venomous hate and envy, Edgar Lungu’s popularity will continue to rise like a rising star. The answer for the dismal loss of elections by opposition lies with the Opposition and not with Edgar Lungu. Please don’t also insult Zambians for their choice because they are exercising their democratic right. How do you hope the same people you insult for their choice to vote for you tomorrow? Indeed t is true that common sense is not actually common!
Each President that ascends to power should be given a chance to govern. If he or she fails the people will boot him/her out. We are fed up with the empty noise coming out as “checks and balances” from the opposition. Grow up.
but how can it stop selling when the man keeps saying it himself?
he should choose his words carefully at rallies.
You want to hear what you what to hear but what you hear is not what we hear…..
Why do zambians continue in this economic poverty trajectory by voting people for the sake hurting other contenders …?
Why are people still bitter.I supported HH we lost and moved on ….We have a president now and that president is EL.Lets support him run the country.I for one is impressed with him.Similar to Levy’s(MHSRIP) situation.I voted for B.Gen.Miyanda in 2001 and Levy won.Most of us did not vote for him and through out his rule he was called all so sorts of names but God all my…look at Levy’s achievements！I think EL has won my heart for re-election simply because I feel he is salvaging the wreckage Sata(MHSRIP) drove into the bush.And all yes he is.
The non vision issue being blown out proportion is simply EL saying he’s a consultative president.I for one take such pronouncements from EL in a positive way unlike people looking at him as one without vision.Let’s move on people this is time for checks and balances and not political rhetoric.It’s irritating to see people dwelling on such trivial issues at the expense of national development.Besides in Bemba we say＇amano mambulwa＇which l believe is where EL is coming from when he says that.What’s wrong with a leader being consultative，c’mon guys….as Chill Child(FTJ MHSRIP) would say.
Good article,you are a man with vission,lungu leads this country like his katemba,look at znbc they were it cast its news,the whole news is lungu.Me i have stoped to listen to it.znbc now it is pf,pipo whn the come to u chess them,the are just spies for pf,not journalist so pliz pipo i beg you don’t allow them near you.
Good article and we hope people are able to see that Edgar Lungu and PF are jokers they don’t mean well for Zambian development. Next time please let us vote for HH and UPND.
I salute you willie, I wish all zambians had brains like you, zambian would be a different country by now. Vote wisely next time to avoid suffering. Open your eyes people of zambia.
You are a fool and lazy loafer who depends on government for everything! Shame on you!
