The speculation and rumors surrounding President Edgar Lungu’s final announcement of those to serve with him in the Executive as Cabinet Ministers has finally come to an end.
This is after Lungu swore in nine more ministers at a ceremony at State House this morning.
Lungu swore in Dr. Chishimba Kambwili as Minister of Information, Communication and Broadcasting Services & Chief Government Spokesperson.
He also swore in Given Lubinda as Minister of Justice, Micheal Zondani Katambo as Minister of Livestock and Fisheries, Emerine Kabanshi as Minister of Minister of Community Development and Social Services, Christopher Yaluma as Minister of Mines and Mineral Development, David Mabumba as Minister of Energy, Charles Banda as Minister of Tourism and Arts, Brian Mushimba as Minister of Transport, Works and Supply and Ronald Kaoma Chitotela as Minister of Works and Supply.
This brings the total number of ministers appointed and sworn in by the President so far to 23.
The President has also appointed Major General Jackson Miti as Deputy Army Commander and Chief of Army Staff.
THE APPOINTMENT IS GOOD.DO LISTEN TO FAILURES WHO LOOK AT ALL THINGS TO BE BAD.THESE ARE FAILURES IN LIFE.WHO EVEN DE CAMPAIGNED AGAINST THE GOOD BILLS OF RIGHTS.ARE THESE THE PEOPLE YOU CAN ALLOW TO RULE THE COUNTRY?NO NO NO NO NO NO NEVER IN THIS COUNTRY.MIND YOU THE PRESIDENT IS VERY INTELLIGENT.HE GOT A DISTINCTION WHEN HE WAS AT UNZA!MIND YOU PRESIDENT LUNGU IS PRESIDENT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT AND HE HAS ALL THE POWERS TO DISCIPLINE YOU AND YOUR SMALL PRESIDENTS WITHIN MINUTES.WHY HAS HE NOT?HE WANTS YOUR PRESIDENT TO HANG HIMSELF USING HIS ROPE.WATCH AND MARK MY WORDS.I ADVISE YOU ALSO TO HAVE GOOD MORALS CHAMA FAKE NAME.
Cabinet with same people all through. Ma rubbish. No salaries even now, it’s true you stole the elections you bembas. This country is slowly sinking. The changing of the deputy commander is on tribal lines. The one removed was a Tonga. Wako ni Wako baba. Miti will just be there for a short time as he is earmarked for the top job. Lungu will make sure that easterners continue dominating everywhere starting cleancontinue. Like his mentor Rb he doesn’t trust bembas.
Ministers are politicians. The civil service are the technocrats.
Can someone tell me which law says the justice minister shld a lawyer? Sata was minister of health. Justice mwanamwambwa was justice minister before he became a lawyer. I dont think there is any qualification for one to be. There is no skul for a degree in presidency.
I’m happy for Kambwili
God!! You should be happy for the country and not an appointed person. This is not merely a job but a calling to serve Zambians. I am really sad for Zambians.
Most ministers for justice if not all, from the chiluba era to sata have been lawyers, but Mr Signed the Constitution with his eyes closed has opted for someone who is not a lawyer,maybe his lawyer friends have realized the repercussions of pissing on the Republican constitution, and no lawyer wants to be part of it.
This is a cabinet of Northern Zambia Not the whole country as it has torn apart.Useless cabinet Masipa feela.
Dununa reverse at the highest pick, Ati Given lubinda is Justice minister. The man just has a trade certificate in agriculture. No doubt Zambia is sinking beyond redemption.
KATUYA wabe tole where is your fools paradise cabinet? HH is mad three month before elections he was busy making the cabinet were by Hamuwele from his GT minister of finance, Hamasako minister of fools and insults. Yaba this was going to be the cabinet sure. Martha mushipi minister of prostutes and insults afares.
Typical pf cader can’t even spell REVERSE. Gullet filled with nothing but insults. Eeeeeish!
Kkkkkkkk dummy’s yeah!!
We have gone back to the pre colonial era. I think that even the KK 1964 cabinet was formed with a better vision compared to Lungu’s 2016 one. Lungu’s cabinet should not make decisions relating to former North Western Rhodesia. They have no jurisdiction in that area and what he has done is to appoint representatives in those areas.
There’s no law in zambia so why go for qualified…..lol
True Kay 1, which law is John Sandra supposed to interpret – let Lungu who is a thief & failure appoint of his own kind
I think we need a neutral person to look at our new constitution. It was done by ba lawyer bama lawyer but see were it took us. It is a wise decision our president has made. Given Lubinda will look at the document from the political point of view and come up with something more practical. After all, he will be surrounded by a horde of lawyers at the ministry. And let’s not rush to conclusion. We don’t know what he has studied.
Well done Emmerine, I admire you.
Given the confusion that had risen from the constition issues. You should be appointing someone like John Sangwa who foresaw a crisis as the justice minister because not only is he a seasoned and experineced lawyer but has the foresight and leadership skills to guide the nation and the president in the right direction. Not Lubinda
On what basis are these appointments been made? Qualifications or just giving people jobs? Some of these are failures including the one appointing them. I think ministers must be appointed by Parliament and names should come from committees that assess ones abilities and skills prior to appointment. You are putting 15 million lives in the hands of useless human beings
