  1. This man is damn stubborn..you mean he didn’t hear what Catholic Bishops advised him about creation of new ministries?..do people have a say in the affairs of this country now? GOD rescue us!!!

  2. What benefits are we going to get from these ministries. These people are in politics for business and not to serve people. Lungu has no vision, he even said it by himself sometimes back, the economy is shaking, government has debts from IMF, government has no money and yet he is busy creating other ministerial positions. My fellow people of Zambia, let’s stand up and boycott this. Lungu please, enough is enough, how can you create ministry of religious? When Jesus is already there and his father, Jehovah God and the holy spirit.Ministry of infrastructure and housing, for what? Because this ministry fall under the ministry of works and supply. I thinking lungu is mad, he must go to chainama hospital to see a psychiatric.

  3. How long will the former priest(Frank Bwalya)remain on the waiting list.. I personally thought he is eminently and appropriately qualified to head the ministry of national guidance and religious affairs.. I was wrong…

    1. Ministries can not improve delivery of services but state capacity and autonomy the Weberian model can?

  5. Good Lungu is working,HH nisala we thank God for giving us President Lungu for those who don’t love Edgar Lungu let them go to the other country than them starting in Zambia maid you Lungu is going to rule for 5 years more bp to you means.

  6. the worst govt ever. how is the ministry of state house affairs going to add any value to the Zambians?
    leaders are not chosen to be cared for but to care for the subjects. so wen you bring in ministries like chiefs and state house, it shows that your main concern is yourselves.

  7. This is truly Dununa Reverse. Since the economy is on its knees, on would have expected a small Cabinet as part of belt tightening but instead we are observing a blotted Government. This state will soon by some means coming to a halt as a result of paying a blind eye to reality.
