I’ll further reduce the price of fuel if voted, RB

1. number 1

2. we have talked a lot about elections such that we ar even tired!There4,im inviting all those who are interested to join me in praying for peace to continue prevailing in our country especialy at this time of elections,Starting 2moro the 22nd up to 28th at 21:00hrs
   Venue whereva u ar going 2b at 21:00hrs.Let us observe time.Thank you

3. does it have to take an election for you to reduce fuel costs?

4. The condition is “IF” they vote for him, which means he can’t reduce the price now!!!

5. fuel prices have gone down its not you mr RB who’s going to do it.zambians are not daffed.

6. The problem is that those people dancing for him are the ones driving this election. They cannot reason and tell him that he’s not the one who determines the fuel price but the global market

7. Jelita very good idea.we’ll meet in prayer tomorrow 21:00 hrs sharp

8. Zambians will regret the choice they make if RB becomes president. Predators that feared Mwanawasa have resurfaced

9. Wow!!! This guy is a genius!! Maybe the US government needs to hire the services of RB to fix the economy, especially the very high energy prices!!! Where was this guy when a gallon of gasoline cost us an arm and a leg in the US??!!! On a serious note, this is total gabbage, I hope the average Zambian is smart enough to know the RB does not control global energy prices. So these guys have a formula to reduce prices but can only do so if and when elected?? Grrrrrrr…..chi Tombolilo, feasting on people’s ignorance……shame on you!!!

10. Jelita, is that 21hrs Ukraine time, Zambian time or Canadian west cost time-please be specific

11. the world has become small pity RB still sleeping we dont have to wait for times of zambia to know the price of a barrel Mr Presido, wake up we know what time it is. so tell us what you are doing to do if elected. not the fuel stuff the fertiliser and the envelopes need good roads lower taxes and security.

12. RB WHY WAIT FOR ELECTION, IN MY VIEW I THINK YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOSING.IF YOU MEAN WHAT YOU SAY REDUCE NOW BEACUSE THE REDUCTION IS LONG OVER DUE. WE NEED FUEL TO TRAVEL TO THE VILLAGE DURING INDEPENDANCE HOLIDAY TO CAMPAIGN FOR HH IN MONZE WEST.

13. but even in the uk prices of fuel are going down. it is not an election magic bashi nenani naimwe. don’t cheat people. and for the mammoth rally, how come we can count the number of people in attendance?

14. I forgot to tell you my fellow Zambians that I will reduce the size of my nostrils so that we can all share oxygen equally !! My image builders have recommended plastic surgery and I will be going under the knife to get a nose like Michael Jackson.

15. What can this chap do honestly, your same govt you served under LPM made the prices like that and you expect people to think you can do something! RB you are still sleeping anyway you were talking to Lundadzi women who do not know anything about fuel prices. I wonder if they even know if it affects them when they just use bicycles.Shame on RB and the MMD! I hope HH or Sata win the election!

16. Watch this guy, he is going to leave this country with a very big debt if he is not stopped. Zambia is not a rich country for RB to be misusing the hard earned tax payers money.

    My advice to you RB is as follows:
    a) order more fire tenders/engines for the fire brigade;
    b) Hospitals and schools need urgently human resource, drugs and bookes etc, spend some of the money on health and education and also;
    c) Invest in the Police service by providing them with modern equipment like CCTV cameras/Speed Cameras to curb crime in the country;
    Lastly, but not the least, I would urge you RB to get some fertiliser for yourself to use at the farm because thats where will be sending.

17. How do you reduce fuel prices when the local currency has lost strenghth? Be wise RB, you should now be talking about investing money in exploration on oid alleged to have been found in the N/Western Province. You can not reduce what you do not produce but can only be determined by market forces.

18. That’s bu11sh!t Toadface. You can’t single-handedly reduce the prices of fuel. Who do you think you are, the controller of world oil prices? What we all know is that fuel prices rise unexpectedly. You keep cheating to the electorate. Your lies will catch up with you and you’ll wish you were never woken from your slumber at the farm. Nawakwi is meanwhile busy kissing @$$, talking about girl children marrying off early. Fake and cheap politicians.

19. You chaps on foreign soil should know better that prices can go down but at the pump things are differentFactors being people claiming they are still holding old stock
    Here in the UK though prices had gone done it took gov intervetion for prices to be reduced though not fully to the price suggested.
    So when RB or anyone else says they will reduce its because there are companies out there tht might be taking advatage of the situation and still want to charge high prices.

20. is anyone there u guys?…i love the idea of prayers..but pliz specify the time..twabepwa pafula…

21. JOB CREATION POLICIES PLEASE !!! This what Zambians need the most and RB never articulates the issue. Those namayos dancing for him dont even work and it doesnt bother them!!!

22. What makes me angry is that we are going back to unip era when prices were low but no goods and services! Tomorrow it will be coupons for unga! Am told there are no pangas in the shops,they are sold out! We are waiting!

23. imwe ba LT wasap?am in zed now but nomba mulembikila ka flag aka kumbikumbi fye…bikenipo aka pa ZED…ryt now OK

24. “Mr. Banda said he has great hope for the future of Zambia and will improve the economy of Chama district by encouraging investments in mineral and oil exploration within TEN days after elected into office.”

    HEY GUYZ!!!HONESTLY IS THE ABOVE STATEMENT TRUE?!!!!

25. guys out there…ala kuno theres circus in lusaka.today ba MMD paid alot of minibus drivers to put banners with toadface and there were movin all over town cairo,chahacha rods evrywere makin noise…they think we will think MMD is popular BOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOO BOOOOOOO fi MMD fikawalala

26. pliz mulebepabwino.even in this era?

27. guys out there…ala kuno theres circus in lusaka.today ba MMD paid alot of minibus drivers to put banners with toadface and there were movin all over town cairo,chahacha rods evrywere makin noise…they think we will think MMD is popular BOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOO BOOOOOOO fi MMD fikawalala

28. #19, You can only find cheap fuel at ASAD and a few vendors in the UK otherwise, fuel is still expensive.

29. Chewe

30. #19, meant ASDA

31. #2 thats the way to go.am game on this one whether its PF,MMD or UPND all need peace at the end of it all to be able to deliver.

32. desperate times call for desperate actions.all the best!

33. Edith nawakwi and sakwiba are bloodthirsty gold diggers!they dont care about u RB. Soon they will be feasting on your wrinkled flesh! They are vampires! We wont let you create a vampire state! Mwamukolo!

34. tule votela nabaleshipula.mwalipwa pa Zed.NI PA BWATO bebele!

35. My main worry is, who is paying expenses (Per diem and other costs) for Nawakwi, Nervers, Saki and other guys in RB’s entourage?

36. “Desperate situations call for desperate measures” at its best for sure! Allo, ya shani iyi reduction balebepa ba RB?

    PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

37. shut up Rubish Bin

38. Who does he think he is, OPEC?
    the fuel price is artificial, subsidising fertilisers is good but where does the money come from? its either the tax payers or funds for developmental projects.
    it makes me wonder whether our destiny should be in the hands of self interest motivated individual whether politicians or electorates.
    This is why we will always lag behind.

39. 14# YOU MAKE ME LAUGH WE ARE IN TROUBLE WITH RB WE DO’NT KNOW WHAT HE IS GOING TO REDUCE. I HOPE HE COULD REDUCE HIS STOMARCH BEFORE HE GETS BP. BEACUSE WHEN HE LOSES BP WILL SHOOT UP AND STROKE MAY OCCUR.

40. Just got a call from my boss sata to tone down on tongas! Maestro,munyono. Mwiyi,lets declare a truce,no more tribal wars? Pa bwato!

41. Chewe

42. Sometimes we people just want to be labeled as liars. This article will certainly be recalled and used against Banda should he win elections. I sense him being torn apart by the Post.
    Surely even in this age and era people can still believe in such cheap stories or was he talking advantage of the ‘wise’ ones from the east?

43. Cheap politics RB…. Stop it please, you’ve already lost the game so reducing pump prices now won’t help.

    Viva HH!!!!
    Viva HH!!!!
    Viva HH!!!!
    Viva HH!!!!

44. No.14 walasa. We like the humour.

45. #40, Wafwa na panga as long as you do not insult Tonga people in general and you rebuke all PF-insulters, I will not comment reply back to show who is the biggest tribal grouping in Zambia. However, I will also not entertain insults on individuals of any ethnic background in Zambia or elsewhere.
    So, advise you PF people not to mess up with well articulate tonga people who can inflict enough truth on all defaulters.

46. Total rubish.gabage..im sure he is tokin to cadres hu cnt reason and knw tht world oil prices hav gne dwn..never the les he is losin..lok at th pipo he has cmpaignin.nawakwi,sakwiba etc,these hav faild to rule their own party to th level of contestin an election,nw thy js endorse..and were was nawakwi wen lpm was ruling..wnda if ths party is stil mmd or a coalition of broke opportunists..

47. I feel sorry for RB. The more he talks, the more he sounds quirky

48. Lt pliz remove tht ka fake flag n my name..sky blue na yelow.yakwisa..awe,me im n ibex hil.

49. RB was sleeping in church in 2day’s “post”…iwe RB ungashuule zoona…mayb u had a hangover?he was busy dreamin abt his underage wife….defiler iwe mambala chi sugar-daddy

50. bakaamba ba issues ba LT nabafulungana naine ndi pa ZED mu kabwata but they put a strange flag

51. RBB indicates that he would want to continue as Zambia President, if he wins this one, from 2011 Presidential elections onwards:
    “Within the three years I will complete all projects initiated by the late president are complete and I will start new projects because I know the vision of the late Dr. Mwanawasa as I worked closely with him,” he said.
    In 3 years leading to 2011, RBB wants to do late LPM’s programes. After 2011, RBB wants to start his own new problems. Zambians wake up and vote for real change being offered by HH. The time is ripe now to do the needful or Zambia will lose 8 solid years in a wasted manner.

52. Nawakwi has nothing to offer.

53. Maestro..im sure as we blog here,we hav lost 2 yrz oredy.cause nw its js unip,reducin o subsidizing every thing.wnda wat our economy wil b lyk if he eva wins,is he rili an economist i wnda?

54. If UK has failed to reduce fuel prices single handedly, who does RB think he is to that on his own?

55. Hi GUYS CHECK ON http://WWW.BANDA4ZAMBIA.COM AND SEE PHOTO 4 KING COBRA AS PROTRAYED BY RB CAMP IT LOOKS HORIBLE

56. TEST test

57. #53, I am deeply touched and sad that so much time and money has been wasted by the RBB team. However, as long as Sata does not get to State House, I will make sure we as Zambians in general and me in particular will do something to resuscitate the economy by 2012.
    Just before it was announce that late former Zambian President Mwanawasa had died, the exchange rate was:
    1 USD –> ZK 3,200.
    Today, I am reliably informed that it (e. rate) is at:
    1 USD –> ZK 4, 200.
    This is very alarming and I feel for my family and all Zambians wherever you are.

58. Ati reduce the price of fuel!!! I hope the majority of Zambians are tried of these old age promises… does Rupiah Banda have oil reserves in his back yard for him to make promises to reduce the price of fuel.. he needs to be talking about his specific and sound economic policies that will reduce poverty and increase economic development.. I AM TIRED OF THESE RECYCLED POLITICIANS PLEASE STOP WITH THE LIES… GOODNESS!!!!!!!!

59. However, #53, president HH has promised that he will deliver starting November and since VICTORY IS CERTAIN, I eagerly await to see real cahnge and hope for our struggling economy as it is trying to negotiate an avoidance of dictatorial rule under Sata as Zambian President e.g. Investers and wellwishers pulling out or holding their money which was in businesses and GRZ securities.
    Vote ecHi-ecHi to maintain a polical, economic, social and scientif atmosphere of trust and hope in the GRZ by the whole world around us.

60. TeSt

61. This is bull how can this guy be cheating us what if he comes into power SATA in RB out and he does not know what he is talking abut just cheating us poor Zambians

62. IF If If IF If If IF If If IF If If IF If If

    He wont be voted in and so he wont reduce gas prices. Anyway what kind if leader reduces prices only after winning an election? Is he blackmailing me now?

63. RB is cheating us whilst our eyes are open cheap politician

64. come on guys we must reason before we vote if the price of our own copper is determined by some one else not zedian wat of fuel? 4 yo own information the price of fuel is determined by the global market!!!!!!!!!

65. MMD the hour has gone.

66. Is he still talking in his sleep? Wake up and smell the wind RB…Change is coming this time round

67. the zambian people dont know the real person who has senses sata can develope zambia good wat kind of govt would ask chinese people to come invest in the country thats just wack and trust he will never reduce the price of fuel, sata got a big visiopn for zambia coz he knows how it is. and the mmd has been in power for ever and i have never seen any single change time to change people

68. Banda ulichipuba sana iwe

69. #2 Jelita what time zone?

70. What a pity… i hope my cousins in the east and else where realise what lies are being told.

    Why cant they work on things like the currencey instead of making bush econmics policies that misfire and hurt our econmy in the long run..

71. Reduce fuel prices before I give you my vote Your Honour.

72. Donya donya

73. I hope the Math adds up RB,but one tends to wonder how on earth we have lived with such a high cost regime for a long time until hopefully now (you note the irony!). RB, I suspect doesn’t understand movements in international commodity prices – we shall live to see.

    As others have said, Zambian politicking should mature to embrace substance instead of petty empty promises as well as name calling! We are tired

74. I can wrtie a blockbuster drama with this election campaign, mwe! RB is still speaking in federal language.

75. Man ,RB what this man is promising is not sustainable ,let him tell the Zambians how they will generate income that promising them sweets .

76. #59 chi Maestro hhehhe when are you gonna get it in your thick head, that HH will never be presiddent all that the TONGA PARTY will never rule zambia? 17 % tonga people can never put HH into plot 1

    viva MMD RB
    viva PF SATA

    NO NO NO TO TONGA PARTY

77. RB is talking nonsense! Fuel prices are drastically droping down all over the world. What a heck does he mean and who doeas he think he is kidding

78. RB stop cheating on villagers who dont understand how high prices of fuel and essential comodities affect them, coz u cant control the price of fuel on the market especially with the global influx which has been disturbed by current financial crisis.

79. Chi RB stop misleading people instead talk about real issues like how you intend to improve education, health, housing etc once elected as president in next few days.

80. the country is all singing one note…..pabwato!!!!!!!!!!!!!

81. 100s of thousands attend sata rally in senanga western province…..sata commmands mammoth rallies where ever he goes……mwamukolo……pabwato…..boat…..viva sata…

82. Can some one tell me the meaning of “MWAMUKOLO” pliz

83. as usual politics on the cheap! When will this ‘fertilizer politics’, etc are going to end? The candidates should be talking about issues not wasting tax payers money to buy votes! The NGOs should be in the fore front explaining to the people that the free goodies given by such candidates using tax payers money is a serious miss-management of public fund.They should not even wear-out their knees thanking such candidates.It is the peoples money he is using.RB use your brains, do not just promise us that you will misuse tax payers’ money. Talk about generating wealth or jobs for Zambia pilizi!

84. mu moneni mu picture above.This guy is checking out the women!

85. Zedians, what is happening with our Kwacha? Is it the Zimbabwe syndome?..vote wisely

86. This guy is crap how can he surely manage to reduce the price of fuel when the price of the commodity is determined by the international barrel price.This is purely illogical

87. Ba Banda those r very cheap political strategies that you are using.. they r outdated badala!!!!

    #2 u r rite, am in

88. #2, am also in………time zone pliz………

89. This is how far we get when we have less penned individuals coupled with limited knowledge in global economics.Rb you will reduce the price of fuel ? How long will that be and is it going to be a permanent solution ? No wonder zambia needs serious contenders for presidence not this characters who thrive on other peoples gullibility.

90. Mwamukolo means mu boat.Mu bwato, in the boat.@ beijing

91. Latest reports say..govt wil nid k3 billion to cushion th fertiliser subsidies..thts magande..

92. Let him reduce the dollar also.

93. indeed we must be careful who we take to state house. have zedians read the pf constitution.it is a replica of the unip constitution and emphasises party supremacy,blind loyalty,socialist economy, elimination of capitalism,all which do not line up with post communism era.sata would take the country back to the unip one party dictatorship just because you and i did not read.zambians read and be wise.

94. ka rupiah ka rupiah niku ka gwila nakukaponda po nakukataya uko wil are rolling on on with pabwatooooooo

95. what a lie,reduce fuel price my A………..

96. #10,21:hrs Zambian time.Thank you for that point.

97. VIVA RB. wa winner kudala mudala. You are doing fine. Thats the politics. will give free education and 1.6milion to unza student. Sata will reduce TAX and give us more money in our pockets and build houses. RB will reduce (has reduced) fule prices and fertilizer he has already started go RB go RB .You will make a good president.

98. VIVA RB. wa winner kudala mudala. You are doing fine. Thats the politics. HH will give free education and 1.6milion to unza student. Sata will reduce TAX and give us more money in our pockets and build houses. RB will reduce (has reduced) fule prices and fertilizer he has already started go RB go RB .You will make a good president.

99. i would love to know how banda is going to reduce the cost fuel knowing too well that zambia does not have a reservior for oil. the global market controls the cost of oil of which banda has no control. and if such careless, wanton talk does not amount to a bribe then we need to have a different definition of bribe in zabia. i cant imagine someone aspiring for the highest elective office in zambia could exhibit such magnitude of ignorance.

100. crooks. suddenly MMD can`t feel the depriciation of kwacha and the effects of world financial crisis. RB liar Hamba!!!!
     Mwamukolo

101. Goodmorning fellow bloggers. Lets have an insult free day. God bless you all

102. This is old school politics. Why should it be up to the president to reduce feul prices and not the economic climate.
     This man is a clown, Sata is a clown X 2. God help us!!

103. #101 thank you. please no insults

104. Please reduce now not after 30/10 because you will not be the one at plot one. VIVA SATA Ki mwamukolo

105. So you HH dead hards can`t you read between the lines? the rains are coming. And all you need is to get in the boat for your own safety.come with me on the boat it`s the only way. Mwa mukolo

106. Forgive him he said it out off his day dreams

110. Sakwiba and Nawakwi, you are Juda escariots, enemies of democracy and job seekers. You think RB will win and later on give you Jobs. You are completely mislead. VIVA PABWATO

111. MR PRESIDO RB 4 ZAMBIA I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUSE YOU ON YOUR GOOD AND WISE THINKING ON THE REDUCTION OF FUEL.THIS WILL HELP BUS DRIVERS WORK EASY.THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BALANCE UP THEIR CASHING.VIVA RB VIVA MMD

112. RB is still asleep and not knowing What is happening at the world market.At Konkola Stadium, Felix Katongo scored,RB was asleep.

113. Ladies lock up your husbands, nawakwi is on the loose. how does she eventually make frienship with nyama soya, nevers, saki and munkombwe. BAKANDILE, bootlickers, hypocrites, bamuselela kwakaba!!

     ifwe ni Pa Bwatooooooooooo

114. Poor Nawakwe. She thinks if the post was there could report something good about Banda. They will look at children and get a picture.The post is a compaigne machine for Sata. They signed an agreement. It will be revieled soon. M’embe has lost direction. Its a paper any more. It will sink in with the canoe

115. Ba RB you must stick to your words even after given chance to rule the pipo of Zed.Thou shall not hike fuel and fertiliser prices after elected as President.JELITA you are very right my sister,I’ll definitely join you at 21:00hrs.

116. Nawakwi is a Country prostitute.

117. cheap politics… pathetic!!!

118. The problem is, He keeps repeating the same lies every time he speaks. RB you’re old just go to your farm and settle as I have done. Pleeeeeeaaaaase.

119. 30th october will be a great day/date for me.I’ll be celebrating PF’victory and my girlfriend’s birthday.WOOOOOW!!!! ni zeeeeee.

120. Now Nawakwi,Saki,Nevers.Where is Magande,Shakapwasha,Masebo,Mpombo,Chituwo who championed Levy.MMD wake before RB gets out of dosing.

121. MR SATA WAS THANKFUL FOR THE GOVERMENT TO REDUCE FUEL BY K2000. HE IS ABLE TO PUT A FULL TANK AND GO AROUND AND CAMPAIGN.THANK YOU MR SATA, WISH YOU THE BEST IN YOUR MEDICLE REVIEW IN SOUTH AFRIKA ON THE 29th

122. Mayo ba Nawakwi what’s up? Please pipo help me,which party does this lady belong to? Zed politicians are pathetic.

123. Yaba ba RB is The Sleeping Giant a.k.a Nyama Soya, where were you on on this things were happening fuel prices and other prices were shoooting high? Today you come and say you will reduce further, for real Mudala you are from the old school….

     YAMA NI PABWAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOO>>>>

     and Today we have the gas to debate, so bring it on LT!

124. PF did not pay- ZNBC
     The Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) says it temporarily withdrew Patriotic Front (PF) political adverts from television because the party violated the terms of contract by not remitting payments.

     ZNBC Public Relations Manager, Mirriam Tonga says other political parties except the PF had paid for their political adverts as of last week.

     Mrs. Tonga told ZNBC news in Lusaka, Tuesday that the PF only made part payments Monday despite several reminders.

     She said ZNBC has resumed airing PF’s political advert following the advancement of payments.

     Mrs. Tonga was reacting to PF President Michael Sata who has Tuesday been quoted in one of the dail

125. Well i like the new improvements on the site, or is it that my mind is still buzzing from yesterday’s guzzle? keep it up!

126. Mayo ba Nawakwi what’s up? Please pipo help me,which party does this lady belong to? Zed politicians are pathetic.

127. #124 get a job my friend>>>

128. Not all zed Politicians are pathetic in fact most politicians not only from Zambia are pathetic, for now i will forgive your ignorance on that….Ba Nawakwi she is busy parading next to Nyama soya a.k.a Sleeping Giant in the name of continuity, she has buried her party and will only resurrect in 2011 like other power hungry and vision-less individuals have done.Bwafya,

     SATA FOR PRESIDENT!!!

129. # 59 Maestro, HH seems to be well meaning but not you. He does not fight Tribalism with tribalism, a weakness you seem to hug! HH is well prapared even if he wont garner enough votes this time but you are not! I don’t want you to cry or unleash unprintables come Oct 31. I know HH is a gentleman. one crying

130. # 59 Maestro, HH seems to be well meaning but not you. He does not fight Tribalism with tribalism, a weakness you seem to hug! HH is well prapared even if he wont garner enough votes this time but you are not! I don’t want you to cry or unleash unprintables come Oct 31. I know HH is a gentleman.

131. Sata is an xtra large crook who can never be trusted with the affairs of Zambia, maybe in 2090 if at all he will be there!He lied that he lost a pssport while in UK, what a leader to follow blindly!

132. Pabwatooooooooooooooo Mwamukolooooooooooooooo We are voting for Sata this time. Let’s give him our vote.

133. RB you said you have reduced fuel and Mealie Meal prices,but what we have seen is the increament in Mealie Meal prices.We are now buying a 25kg B/F for K58,000.00 here in kitwe.Does this mean that fuel price will not go down if you are not Voted for.Think Twice you are not doing it for State House.

134. Mukudya ndiyo bwanji lelo? Styopet … let people vote when its time to vote and work. Lazy MMD cadres.

135. we are for HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH TO PLOT ONE

136. you see people Economical Growth may slow somewhat this year due to the relatively poor harvest and extensive load shedding while inflation will accelerate on account of increases in world fuel and food prices. Beyond 2008, prospects for strong growth and declining inflation remain broadly favorable. The main risks to the outlook stem from a significantly slower rate of global growth and a sharper decline in copper prices than currently anticipated…we need a manager with the will power to stabilize this economy, therefore, i say Sata For President….

137. This is typical UNIP thinking. If this man wins we will be back to square one. It’s not up to him to determine the price of fuel, what if OPEC increases the price will he afford reducing the cost?
     It’s sad that we Zambians might end up voting for such characters.
     There is also the posibility that while Zimbabweans are sacrificing their lives to get rid of Mugabe, some Zambians want to vote for a Mugabe clony(Sata). How visionless can one be?
     Americans are voting in a youth with vision, from a minority ethnic group, some Zambians are rejecting their own Obama simply because he is Tonga.
     No wonder we will remain poor.

138. good thinking Jelita. will also join you and others in prayers at 21.00 starting 2moro. Peace is important and that is what we need . Jesus said my peace i leave unto you, its the peace that the world cannot understand . peace to you , peace to all. Lets us pray , our great father, who art in heaven………. continue

139. rb why cant you do it now. youare still a president and you have powers

140. BOTTOMS UP LATEST MR SATA IS SOUNDING MORE MMD THAN PF WATCH PRESS FOR DETAILS

141. Ba RB I thought you were better than that!! Economic empowerment does not come by blindly reducing comodity prices. We have been there before and we know someone somewhere will still have to pay for the difference. You dont have data ba mudala go back to the farm and leave politics for politicians

142. Today i want to emphasize to you people that Sata in as much you may see what you might term as his bad side is a very credible leader not this rubbish we are hearing from RB, Ndiye vichani ivi? a power hungry individual for real, he even knows that with his current policies which are non and with a major expenditure he has made in the last 2 months, reduction of fuel is far fetched in his mind, but under a different leadership that will be an attained goal…
     People of Zambia, Lets VOTE FOR MICHEAL CHILUFYA SATA, MAN OF ACTION!!!!VOTE PABWAAATOOOOOOO.

143. What a primitive president RB will be. Holding people at ransom. “If you don’t vote for me I’ll not….” Does he own an oil field? This just shows what a dictator he’s gona be. And they say Sata is a dictator. Malabishi.

144. you see reduction under current policies is unfavorable becoz, Implementation of fiscal policy has been weaker than planned. Large amounts of supplementary expenditures have been undertaken and the lowering of fuel taxes will result in sizable revenue losses. The persistent difficulties with implementing capital projects highlight the urgent need to strengthen budget execution, including cash management through the establishment of a Treasury Single Account and Treasury Department at the Ministry of Finance and National Planning. Fiscal discipline in the period ahead requires that decisions that would further undermine the attainment of the 2008 fiscal targets be avoided….

145. chinyama soya, are we kids??? look at your noise,shaaa!!! go to the farms and harvest “impundu” .Start parking you to ma bags with you ka little wife.

146. We are in trouble with RB am telling you people, he has overspent and has strained the national coffers no wonder he wants to win at all costs, but ZERO!

     MWAMUKOLO CHABE!

     VOTE FOR SATA!!

147. I you tell us that the MMD POlicies where or are BAD.We have seen the fuel price going up in the past years,But you reduced fuel a Month ago and you further what to reduce the fuel does it mean that you have changed the MMD policies.I think MMD has taken us for granted,why start reducing things when its election time.When elections are over things start going up again.

148. We are tired of political gymnastics. Tell me people is it in the MMD manifesto to reduce fuel prices. because the man always tells as that he is following levys vision who left high fuel prices

149. Why chilya ama elections yafika elo mwaishiba ukubwesha imitego. Ekweba ati ifintu fichipa pakuvota. “””Natuleya muchombo baneeeee”””

150. Sorry i want to go off topic a bit so bear with me as i cant start discusing Nyama Soyaz grade 1 politics.

     Will someone please point out something for me. I know UPND realy wants to come out clean out of all this tribalism stuff but Y was UPND supposed to be taken over by only a tonga and why is it that every tonga i have met is UPND? I want to know weather it is the supporters or the party with the prblm.

151. Does Lupiya mean to say LPM was very so cruel that he even increased the price of fuel? Imwe tu MMD the reason why fuel price is going down is that world crude has tumbled fro+150USD /barrel to +-74USD so it has nothing to do with your RB.Why not let Magande explain? Elections can bring up all sorts of promises

152. olo naisa, mwashibukeni bonse? mwabuka buti? mwauka bwanji? good morning? the issue at hand. abwezani, who hiked fuel prices three time in a space of six months was it the late LPM (MHSRIP)? no it was the same MMD govt with bwezani. now like your name you want to bweza the price who are you cheating? its such issue which has made us loose confidence in the MMD. You where stealing, thats y u even wanted to increase MPs benefits at the expense of levys illness.Abash MMD and Bwezani.

153. PF IS TRYING TO BUY VOTES FROM TEACHERS IN CHIBOMBO,BY GIVING THEM MONEY AND BUY OFF FERTILIZER IN THE DISTRICT.SHAME ,THEY ARE TRYN TO REPEAT WANT THEY DID IN 2006.MWACHEPA THIS TIME AROUND. GOOD LUCK RB

156. Bane i was once minister of energy uyu Rupiah aletubepa because world over the prices of fuel are going down so its logic anyone can reduce the prices of fuel. so its be wise and vote for SATA he is the only man this time around. my door to door is working very well in favour of SATA. VIVA PF. PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BWAAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bane.(mwamukolo fye)

157. George Mpombo you are talking sense continue with the same spirit. pabwato and viva man of action!!

158. RB is quite honesty on the issue of fuel reduction. He has not been afraid to state the the reductions are necessitated by falling international market prices. So it is only right that pump price goes down because if that does not happen the gains from the falling world market prices will remain in the hands of fews dealers. You may ask “why not leave it to market forces, why gvt?”. Well, the answer is simple; our economic/legal environment does not provide tructures which give fair market dynamics and as I have sated above only few selfish dealers would take advantage and enjoy the gains.

159. #150…crazy jlm.,the problem is both the party nd th suportas..thts why i feel pity for them,because wth tht statmt,it simply means,thy cnt rule until thy show inclusion..otha parties hav al sorts of pipo,bt them,its js them alne.

     ur r sick in that ka head. we in the MMD are the ones taking NYAMA SOYA pa 29 th for surgery for the nose strills. You have a good name but think like a fly!!

163. #159…Issues!!;-) HH is not a bad canditate and he can win the 2011 elections if only, if only he realises that whats weakens his support is the attitude of his party as well as that of his supporters. Let me illustrate this;
     There is a campaign pact for HH going round Kitwe and i decided to join them, We went round for about 45 mins to 1 hour together and after all that time i felt quite left out as all the spoke was said in tonga.
     If such can be the case in an election campaign that i feel more lost than wen i decided to walk them with, how do i give them a vote to lead me?

164. Concerning the issue of fertiliser, I salute RB and his govt.
     Food security is a crucial issue and that is why every candidate promises that once in power they would reduce farming imputs. As a wise leader who is already in power, RB has done a great thing by leting his govt subsidize fertiliser by 75%. This will allow more peasant farmers to access the imput and the result will be an increase in food production and incomes for our rural community.The increased food production will spiral into increased invetment food processing thereby creating employment for our people. The cost of these subsidies can the be recovered over and above from the taxes from the food processing firms.

165. The winds of change are sweeping Through this country. Today its North western. Viva PF

166. How will Banda do that,am an IT specialist,economists help me,help me understand how fertilizer price has dropped like that,tiza onoga chalo guys.

167. #163,my frnd i cn tel u tht,i myself i hav frnds and im relatd to tongas,and afta tht was dcided abt hu cn be upnd presido,thy mvd away frm suportin upnd..im telin u any party n zed tht is openly tribal cn neva win.coz,zed has alot of tribes frm difrnt parts of th country…let upnd re-organise and fight th vice tht they hav atached to tht party then 2011.the so called ‘Obama’ of zed may cary th day..nw thy scare pipo

168. #164 cont’d…
     Therefore the reduction on fertilizer is the best thing anyone can do to inhance food security. Some people are saying the timing is wrong, and so they want everything to be viewed from their political advantage. That is totally rong because this is the farming season; do you want this move to be done when the farming season is over? Yes I must admit this will give RB an adavntage but it had to be done for the sake of the nation. The gvt cant say “No, this is election time so dont implement projects; dont bye medicines, dont work on roads, dont attend to people’s needs because we will be misunderstood”. No way, the functions of govt must continue.

169. Did you see the Rally in Katuba addressed by HH? It was like the whole Chibombo was at the rally. Those who feel and believe what the only thing they see in the Post as it is the PF Media will be shocked. HH hav had very good and wel attended rallies everywhere he has been.
     In mumbwa Chituwo is been welcomed by the Janza and the UPND symbols everywhere he goes. VIVA HH and Central is not Kabwe town and Kapiri. 90% of votes are the rural where HH is the household name.VIVA HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

170. #161 anonymous ICHINTU CHINTU NSHI MUMWENE BA #161.COMRADE DO AGREE WITH ME THAT PHAT FARM IS VOTES IN CHIBOMBO AND THE AIRPORT ISSUE WAS EXPLAINED USHUFWA PA TUNONO….. BESIDES THAT DRIVER WAS PHAT FARM PF 4 LIFE.SO I SEE NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD BE HIDING FROM THE TRUTH.RESEARCH AND MAKE A WISE VOTE.VIVA RB

171. #166. THE IMAGE BUILDER,
     It is good you ask for help. What he has done is what in economic terms we call ‘subsidy’ on farming. This is done by any responsible govt including USA and Canada. In fact for your own infomration European Union has had to submit many complaints especially to US for too much subsidy on farming. Much as most farmers in US can afford farm inputs, US will not take food security lightly. This is what we call strategic planning; subsidy on farming is not a loss to govt, never; you ask Israel. When you subsidize farming you cause an increase in food production leading to an increase in food processing firms, leading to increased employement,leading to increase in tax.

172. #161 ANONYMOUS iwee RB knows what he is doing when he says something he is educated enough to handle this.waumfwa

173. Truly, truly I say unto you that nyama soya is really UNIP, and belongs to that era. How do you talk of reducing prices in this time and age from govt stand point? What kind of leadership is this? Does he own oil well for him to reduce prices. we need an enabling environment for all to prospor, not fake price control. If prices drop at the international market, lets feel the effect automatically, not fake leaders trying to grab the credit they do not deserve. Next you will hear he will bring cheaper japanese vehicles. Shameless oportunist

174. I have to come out in the open though i know will be heavily hunted. I shall reveal myself nevertheless cause it is not fair. We the SB had a hand in the 600,000 extra ballot papers printed. Country men we are here to defend Mother Zambia not to crook mother Zambia. It was planned at 400,000 were to be planted in soft areas to give RB a kick start. PF and UPND dont say u were not warned. zambians watch out we have only 1 Zambia. No rigging let the will of the pipo reign.

175. I cant believe that any sensible person can vote for RB,lets face facts here.He is surrounded tby vultures who are more advanced than he is and that disqualifies him for the top JOB.No no no no no not RB maybe SATA

176. Sleepy Rejected Banda (RB)when are you going to wake up?who do you think I am to give you a vote just because of fuel and fertilizer?In the Village it is Sata,in urban areas it’s Sata and Zambia yonse ileti fye MWAMUKOLO MWAMUKOLO MWAMUKOLO,UBWATO UBWATO UBWATO.UNIP has four letters MMD has three letters and next is PF with two letters.Come what may Sata is the next president of Zambia.Viva Sata Viva PF MWAMUKOLO MWAMUKOLO MWAMUKOLO,UBWATO UBWATO UBWATO.

177. HH has promissed to give free education up to university starting January 2008. Sata has promissed to reduce taxes and then increase government developmental projects within 90 days (I dont know how he will manage from reduced govt revenue).
     Let us look at HH’s promiss; January 2008 is 3 months before the next financial year. This means that HH is hoping to work with the same existing budget to implement the policy (I dont know how). he has also said he wil give free medical services imediately he comes into office. Now, if RB makes reductions or subsidies now, people ask where he is getting the money. HH promisses for January, few ask where will he get the money. We need to be open minded.

178. Iwe # 174 not amano yafwaka apa

179. It is one thing to say you will reduce the price of fuel and reducing it and for how long will that reduction be. On the International market fuel prices are very high and I wud be more than happy to learn of what methods RB will use to reduce the price and later on sustain the reductions

180. this time around i think Sata will get more votes than what Mwanawasa got in 2006(believe or not).This must be a lesson to our great friends in Upnd coz they think Zambia belongs to tongas only and they think they are very clever people.Your opinion is most welcome together with the critics.Why are you fighting SATA instead of fighting the government of the day. Critisise RB not SATA coz SATA has never been President thus why he is fighting RB. Sata is not talking about HH so much coz he knows that they are both fighting a noble cause. Spare SATA and go for RB.Vote wisely

181. #2 Jelita! You are one serious blogger I have seen on LT for the first time. I will join. I will try and remember to pray for our nation. Let us also pray that God will deliver us from the hands of the devil. Whether you like it or not, the devil is using some politicians at this point in time. I pray that God will deliver the likes of Mike Mulongoti, Ben Tetamashimba, Rupiah Banda, and many other. May God gives us a leader. IF and I repeat, IF MIKE, BEN, RUPIAH, and others don’t repent they surely will be judged by God for taking advantage of the many poor ZAMBIANS. It is unfortunate that even the clergy have been blinded by these politicians. ZAMBIANS, let us pray for deliverance 4 Zambia.

182. Iwe #174 PF Cadre just shut up

183. Can a right man be support by wrong people? Or can wrong people support a right man? Neither of these extremes makes sense. RB is strongly supported with people who have no political vision and have no quest for Zambia’s economic development. Saki and Nawakwi are all disgruntled politicians, Job Seekers, Political opportunists and power hungry. They are Presidents of Political parties that they don’t believe in. How would a scene person who is not a Political opportunist support another party while he heads another party? Saki and Nawakwi are guilty of this. But its nice that Zambians are watching these political vultures. We know that this dram will end in a sad episode for these opport

184. Ni pabwatoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

186. When are you going to reduce bus fares? Not all Zambians buy fuel but almost every Zambian travels. What are going to do for the employees getting slave wages when your workers here at your farm get less than K100,000.00. stop those petty lies RB, we know you

192. The many people that will cast their votes are already decided. What matters is how many have been swayed to the right or to the left. MMD has the figures on thier side looking at 2006 election. For the opposition the question is how much has been done to sway more voters to their side. What extra punch have they given to sway the balance to their favour. I am afraid the odds are against the opposition. The fact that the opposition is split is a big blow to them. Time and resources have not been on their side either. The rural areas where the majority of voters reside have barely been scratched by the opposition. This leaves the MMD with even a greater prospect of bettering their scores.

193. If only wishes were horses, pipe dreams like this by Lupiya could be turned into reality but manje things are different in the real world,so aya nimasobelo

194. Chewe #41 and #76, It is shameful that your hatred for Tongas has driven you crazy, it has even lead you to search our grave yards for late mazoka and Baldwin.Dont think as family members we are happy with your insults.Chewe dont forget that when PF sata was taken ill we stood together to pray for him.Donnt insite other good Bemba people to hate tongas,There are others married to tongas mind you.

     Your lust for politics is getting over your head,if yopu dont have anything to talk about you will look intelligent by keeping quiet.We are still mourning for MAzoka, we are crying for Baldwin, you you are happy.You are not immortal chewe, one day you will touch dust,Ask God to forgive u.

199. AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THE BLOGGINGS ITS LIKE OPPOSITION IS BUSY FIGHTING OPPOSITION. SINCE YOU ALL IN OPPOSITION DONT WANT ANY OPPOSITION TO RULE LET THE PARTY IN GVT WIN

200. the next thing banda will reduce are salaries and wages

201. The unbridled utterances by PF that no elections will be held in 2011 will definitely work against the opposition. Many who have been simphathetic to PF have been disillusioned by this cut throat shocking annoucement by the PF leader Michael Sata. The actual effects of this annoucement, only the results of the 30th October elections will tell. Many have interpreted this pronoucement as ‘clear signs’ of dictatorial tendencies in Michael Sata who they suppose from this pronoucement would deliberately and unconstitutionally want to cling on to power beyond mandated terms.

202. Do we still have the anti-corruption commission pa Zed? What RB is saying is tantamount to corruption. He can’t reduce prices of commodities unless he is given something under the ballot box. Shame on you!

203. HE WILL CERTAINLY REDUCE FUEL PRICES BUT ONLY AT THE EXPENSE OF INCREASING PAYE…..

     GVT IS LOOSING MONEY ON FERT AND FUEL SUBSIDY.HE WILL PLUNGE THIS GVT TO CHAOS……….

204. hhhhhhhhhhhhh

205. The MMD cadres chased the PF supporter and beat him up before removing the campaign poster from his shirt.
     The incident attracted a lot of people who were shouting and laughing during the act.

206. “anyhow anybody who knows Kalonga Gawa Undi knows that he would not stoop so low and to be bribed by anybody,” (Rupiah Banda Post 22/10)

     All those that are getting bribes from RB, this is what he regards you as – people that have stooped low.

207. but RB is acting President,so why cant he reduce the fuel price now

208. #205 Where?

     Chewe, you are not God to choose who rules Zambia, mind you we had leaders who used to say Kumulu ni Lesa, Panshi ni…..where are they now.Even if your Bemba presdo win, what guarantee is there to say you will have favors for being Bemba, nothing you will be shocked learned Tongas getting top Jobs.

     Education is the best equalizer my friend,whether tonga, Bemba,poor or rich.If you dont improve your certificate, your tribal crusade will harvest no jobs ,no money in yo pocket.If Indians made it in KK,FTJ and LPM, what will stop Tongas from making it if Sata wins.

214. Its only HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH God given kwanjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa not manmade symbols

219. Why would you only reduce price of fuel if you are elected???..why not reduce it while you are acting President???…

220. A snap view of the campaigns across provinces and regions reveals a shocking demographic terrain. Luapula which has been dubbed as one of PF’s strongholds may well go to MMD. The reason for this percieved anormaly lies squarely on the ‘in-fighting’ within PF. A majority of Satas’s MP’s in this province have chosen to stay away and not support their leader during these Presidential campaigns. The so called ‘rebel MP’s’ number an oustanding 25 and within this group includes some of the ablest strategists and technocrats that PF and the nation at large can boast about. Recent visits to luapula has shockingly revealed that MMD has made serious in-roads in this region.

221. #199 NATASHA SWEETY NICE GOING BE GOOD

All this is whithing this time frame whenRB has been running the country. Levy left the rates at 3,200 come on guys VOTE HH for president not old sleepy men and a man leaving on a borrowed heart HH for president

223. I thought pipo who are more educated than us kaponyas where favoured to understand the basic tax principles. Tax effectively reduce the amount of money that one has to spend or invest, but acts as a source of revenue for gvt to meet recurrent expeditures. If taxes are reduced they is an induced growth in the economy in that pipos expenditure is increased and mostly likely investments too. Demand of certain goods generate a demand pull, stimulating production increasing that taxable products hence more revenue to gvt. This is one simple example. Us kaponyas know this. Low taxes more money in our pockets. Broaden the tax base.

224. Gents im at a loss 4 who to vote for. RB= Unpredictable, Sata= Thug, HH= 2011. I dont listen to campaign jargon, sweet talk orloud mouths.
     I’ve been through four elections no one ever delivers and to make it worse its the same ol chaps.Politics should not be an occupation but a service to the people. We are moving in circles
     There are many very intelligent and capable zambians bt we’ve chosen to continue listening to the same old tired voices and ideas.
     Lets learn from developed countries where every so often u get a fresh breed to choose from.

Within weeks, new information, including latest pictures from recent rallies was uploaded. “Man of Action,” the site proclaims, with another link asking people to donate funds towards the campaign. “The presidential election in the next few weeks is going to be faster and tougher than anything we have faced so far, and our opponents will do everyt

Thats who he is amulating now,lets not listen to cheap lies. How will He achieve that? let him give us his manifestal! Mwebena Zambia Twila Bepwa!. The man to go for is a younng vibrant and intelligent man. we know who he is.
     Lets learn from the developed countries like the us as they will be ging to the polls. Obama for the us and HH for Zambia. Dont forget that old men live on remembrance and memories while young men on hope.I therefore in the face of the above plea with my fellow reasonable and sensible counrty men. To decide well or CHAOS!

235. #2, Jelita. Thanks for remembering that God’s will prevails in every situation to those who BELIEVE. However, I would to share with you and the rest of Zambians that prayer has no specific time and we should learn to pray anytime and all the time especially when God has blessed us with his abundance and not only when we are faced with difficulties. All the same my prayer is that we conduct ourselves humbly and peacefully as we elect Mr. Sata on 30th October 2008. Have a fruitful day.

236. Sata niwa mulast & advocates for Bemba hagemony.Come 1st November.PF & his Pabwato will be finally burried never to comeback forever.

We can belong to different camps but campaign with dignity, respect and GUD HUMOUR for the benefit of peace and unity in this only one Zambia we have. Guys lets debate..

241. #232, spare the young man ’cause I can take you on. Just to answer silly simple question, there nothing like a lazy person on earth. In Zambia the same people you are calling Kaponyas are NOT lazy but they roam the streets simply because MMD has failed to create employment opportunities for most Zambians including graduates. The MMD has no strategy of creating employment with investors through tangible partnership despite the abundant natural resources that have been attracting exceptional market prices. In Sata’s team, detailed planning coupled with speedy quality implementation and consistent monitoring of projects will be among but many of tenets of good governance. Viva Sata. MMD Zwa

242. iwe Phambili, so you are not awere that in zambia peole dont look at a person standing as mp but the party that he is standing for.There is no way Luapula, North,Lsk and C.B can go to RB or HH.Research my friend and you will discover that these 4 provinces are for SATA no matter what.Talk of South,East and west. North west and central are up for grabs

243. #239 ZIZI THERE IS NOTHING TO TINA BA ZIZI BUT I SUPPORT YOU HH FOR 2011 NOT 2016.

244. well said #241, it looks like these dull MMD chaps have finally discovered this website

245. Those pathetic women dancing for RB, do they have husbands and later on children? This simply shows how deep poverty has crushed the souls of Zambians and mostly women. This is primitive and when Sata comes in power we will stop this semi porn behavior. Has Namugala ever danced for RB or even the late Levy? Insala ibi sana that’s why PF will ensure these women are utilized a better way through true empowerment and not ukushanino muntu, it sucks!!! Viva Sata UBWAATOOOOOOOOOO busuma please.

246. Iwe INTERIOR boza wako. SATA on this very site has been shown dancing with women in Mpika. Speaking of hypocricy yaba.

     Ku chenjelesa so naziba ndiwe kamubemba.

247. Aha #241 PROVINCES. I guess in ur camp you are nt aware of entrepreneurship? U only daydrim about govt. creating employment? You telling me those characters at the helm of PF street campaign you are calling Kaponyas are incapable of taking advantage of the enabling environment the govt has put in place? e.g the youth empowerment fund? and now the citizen’s empowerment fund. you are not aware that in most districts around the country, the youth empowerment fund account lies untouched? to take you closer to your home(by the ZWA of-course) go to Kaoma today and talk to Mukuka the man in-charge of tht fund there, he wil tel u no one has applied to utilise tht fund. CHK NXT COMMENT PROVINCES

248. BA#232 PROVINCES WHAT A BAD ANALYSIS YOU HAVE MADE.IF YOU WERE EMPLOYED BY BILL GATES YOU WOULD HAVE BIN FIRED O’READY. GO AROUND AND CHECK THE STATUS OF INVESTORS THEY ARE PANNIKIN IF SATA WINS MEANING IF THEY LEAVE BECAUSE OF SATA AND HIS PHAT FARM LABLE WE WILL BE WORSE THAN ZIMBABWE COME MAN MAN YOU ARE CLEVER VOTE WISELY

249. #248 if they want to leave out of paranoia let them do so

250. #215. Sugar,
     RB is a sober and honest leader. He has always explained exactly what you are talking about. He has said fuel on the world market has gone down and therefore his government will also reduce the pump price further. So what is your problem with him. Hi is right to reduce for the very reason you have stated which is the reason he has also given. Now you may ask, “why RB and not the market forces?”. Well as I have said b4, the answer is simple; our economic/legal environment does not provide structures which give fair market dynamics and only few selfish dealers would take advantage and enjoy the gains. That’s why gvt comes in to force the right thing to be done.

251. Most Kaponyas seen in Town if they determined would get some education but they choose not. You and me know very well how many of our own relatives choose to shun school just for that quick fix thing. A beer, a cigarrate, a thrill??. However, not all have the opportunities.

252. R.B means well when he says,he will reduce fuel cost.Look its something he has done already.

253. 232..This is why Zambia will never be ruled by the so-called intellectuals..kuzimvela too much whilst forgetting that majority of voters are illiterate. Proud for nothing punks think they can dictate this nation’s future. Keep your books and we will deny you our votes! That’s golden rule…

254. I saw my picture in the Post today purporting to be attending a rally for Sata in Senanga. I have never been to Western Province. Can some one explain this, Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

255. #55 You are right SATA is too ugly,arrogant for a president. I have failed to trust any bit of this comedian called Sata and his Kaponya’s.They don’t even articulate basic important issues esp Economics. They seem be in a “DREAM WORLD” of their own.

256. Industries have to be created in order for employment to be created. However, a right economic frame work and environment needs to be in place for this to happen. Industialisation has not taken place because of obvious economic problems our country has been going through. The present Government has made certain positive strides which need to be sustained for ‘real and felt’ economic growth.
     The opposition parties manifestos have clearly neglected to show how they would continue to sustain this economic momentum. The last thing that Zambia needs at this stage is a disturbence on this momentum. However good the intentions of the opposition parties may be, it will be incredibly negative to

257. why is rb called nyama soya.

258. A culture of hard work cant be instilled by a Politician never. Economics teach one to work up. Just like a person who chooses to sit on a stove will only jerk up if the stove is switched on. The crouding in our small cities has created an artificial congestion. More people leave villages looking for better education, employment and health care. That is understandable. However, hunger is the number one motivator for rural emmigration. Hunger is lack of food. How many people if empowered to grow food in the rural areas would choose to to do in the rural areas? This question in Zambia can be answered squarely if and only if culture is factored in the equation.

259. cost of fuel is still amoung the highest in the world.
     and you expect zambians to trust in you now that they have a choice!

260. vote MMD and RB for President.Sata will never rule Zambia i can asure you.MMD will win whether you like it or not.

261. I have noticed that patterns of livelihood differ from one province to the other. Just like in a family, they will be those prone to laziness and idolness, in a country as cultually diverse as ours expect similar behavioural traits. There are certain provinces which for instance have the most fertile lands, the most conducive environments and climates and yet will have the least agricultural activities. The most abundant waters and favourable climates but with the most appalling demographics of malnutrition.

262. IWE#162 JOHN ZAZA..HAVE YOU SEEN RB MONEY BANDA GONE TO S/A FOR CHECK UP.no..capital N..NO..I THINK BA ZAZA YOU ARE LIVING IN THE PAST..MULI ISASA SANA VIVA MMD VIVA RB

263. mr rb you have been cheating people that fertilizer has been reduce to k50.000 per bag,while the price is still the same.know again you wantto bring confusion ,why dont just stay away ,you give chanceto others ,i think this not your time to rule this country . look hh and sata yes any these guys can rule this country.

264. RB, you are really above the politics of hate that has characterised this nation. You have done what you have said and said what you have done. All at the expense of labelling your actions as election gimmick. To you the Zambian people come first and you will continue doing this upto the last breath. You have been called names, insulted, humiliated by people who know little or nothing about you. Sometimes I wonder why all this hate. And I expect this hate to escalate when certain people come into power. I can smell smoldering sulphur from their nostrils. Lord have mercy on them that have crossed their paths and Zambians are aready giving ovation to this madness. Zambia a Christian Nation

265. #162 JOHN ZAZA
     Face REALITY jonnie. We don’t nid no more state funerals. Cobra is a sick man. It’s on RECORD. Go to Milpark in Johannesburg, Sata is overdue for Review. Havent you noticed the man has lost steem….He spent 8 minutes in Senanga, 12 minutes in Shangombo, 30 minutes with the Litunga, 18 minutes with the ngambela, 53 minutes in Kalabo, mongu was a disgrace, Kaoma 15 minutes, and flew off more disorganised than he started. The Taxi drivers tht were paid by Scott in Mongu had second thots ths time around… what are talking about.

266. #264 correction – it is not about hate, we’re just worried about who is – as they say – more USILESSI out of the candidates

267. I like the contribution by Aitthj,thumbs up.

268. I like the contribution by # 258 Aitthj,thumbs up.

269. #261 aitthj

     I agree with you generally. However, I would want to point out that there is always going to be, in any country, those that Government will deliberately have to support by putting in place deliberate welfare policies. You will always have the aged, the sick and incapacitated amongst the citizenry that government is obligated to take care of. This is the practice in all civilised countries including Botswana which already have that policy in place. Having stated this however, employment creation must be the one thing that Grz must address in the most urgent manner. Employment creation underlines economic growth. The more people in employment, the more tax is guaranteed.

270. banda was not LPM choice as successor, LPM wanted Magande and not Banda R.

271. MMD you are scampered and panicking. The truth is that abantu balinaka no bufi bwenu. No water in most homes, no motivated medical personnel, teachers sleep in tea rooms instead of teaching, road network is pathetic, keep Zambia clean has failed lamentably, Universities are not rated, no housing strategy for the governed, councils are dead, mineral rich provinces look like battle gounds, and agriculture is lip service, so how do you expect a vote? Katusheni!! Viva Sata abene bamilimo.

272. chweechwee ni pa nkoloko na rb

273. #261 aitthj

     I was discussing with friends the other day about cultural traits. We said for instance, it is not uncommon in America for people to build thier houses with their own hands even the most educated people do this. It is not to be expected in Zambia even for a simple graduate to take a hammer and trowel and participate in building his own house. He would rather get someone to do it for him. That is cultural! We have somehow as Zambians developed this culture of ‘living like kings’ yet we are far from that. Grz cant be blamed for that, politics aside.

274. chweechwee chweechwee chweechwee ni pa nkoloko na rb chabeeeeeeeee!!!

275. NIPAKOLOKO CHABE ULEFWAYA ULEFWAYA NIPA WATCH VIVA RB VIVA MMD

276. Presidential candidates can say anything at rallies because the audience does not have opportunity to ask questions, and generally the audience consists of followers. The only people who can help us in this matter are the reporters. Unfortunately our reporters are so shallow that they don’t analyse what is said before reporting it. They are simply loud speakers.

     One thing I would suggest is that we demand that our constitution should have a mandatory requirement for a debate or series of debates like the ones they have in the USA, where candidates can articulate issues. In that we candidates will watch waht they tell the nation.

277. We have abundant land and natural resources yet very poor. Our friends in Botswana and S.A literally salivate when they see at our huge idle and fertile soils. We Zambians are rushing to squeeze our selves in town. Having stayed out of the country for sometime, I wonder why this poverty in the midst of plenty. Our friends see opportunity in our country whilst we whine and cry, hungry for food. I guess it is culture, not politics.

278. #76, 129 and 130. November 2, 2008, will teach you and Sata a good lesson you will leave to remember in your whole lives. For as me he Zambia Army Commander is on my side. The Commander will deal with all ill-motivated characters who think they can bring anarchy to Zambia.
     As for my 30th October, 2008 election candidate PREFERENCES, here is the list below:
     1 – Best: Hakainde Hichilema (HH)
     2 – Better: Brig. Gen. Godfrey Miyanda
     3 – Good: Rupiah Bwezani Banda
     4 – worst : Micheal Chilufya Sata.
     NOTE: Anyone of the top 3 in the list will do, however if the WORST wins it still will never hurt because Sata is a human being and Zambian for that matter.

279. If you looked at the composition of those attending rallies, you may find that a lot of the people are illiterates. Such people don’t know much about what it takes to develop a nation. So they listen to any rubbish. Unfortunately, vast amounts of votes come from such people. Our presidential candidates know this and they take advantage of this illiteracy big time. For the sake of our nation, may be we need to revisit the one-man one-vote etho. We have a lot of wasted votes through illiteracy. I know every man has a right to vote but may be we should give two votes to those who are more educated. Just think about it, what type of people are most likely to vote MMD, UPND, PF and HP?

280. Regarding reducing fuel prices, one needs to understand what makes up that price. There are many components in that price, some of which are totally beyond Govt control. Really the Govt can only temper with the Tax component. Earlier this month on this blog, I explained why fuel in Zambia is expensive and why it will remain expensive. The basic cost is the price of oil on the world markets. Govt has no control over this. Oil feedstock pumped into indeni for refining is not pure crude oil. It constitutes crude oil, condensate (semi processed material), petrol, diesel and parafin. So this composit is already pretty expensive and Govt cannot do anything about it.

281. #19 Mr/Mrs Uchipo, when were you last in Zambia. RB precicely means reduce fuel prices and not imfluence fuel suppliers to respond to the Global market. In any case, if he meant it like that he would have explaind (if he is presidential material)

     Anyhow, he is hoping that dull chaps like you try to rasionalise his rediculous promise. you are also sleeping like RB! Wake up Mr/Mrs Uchipo! Wake up!.

282. I THINK HE SAID IT AS A JOKE. YOU KNOW THE WAY THESE GUYS JOKES
     SOMETIMES

283. #280 contd. Another component of the fuel prices in Zambia is due to losses of oil during shipping at sea and pumping by Tazama pipelines, and losses during processing and storage at Indeni Refinery. As an expert on the industry I can tell you that some of these losses are unacceptable, but then we are using old equipment.

     Please also note that there is a time lag between sourcing and consumption. Crude oil components are priced using the price on the day they were loaded onto the ship. But that cargo will have to be shipped all the way to Indeni. Depending on the size of the cargo,planning etc, it could be 3-4 months before it finally becomes petrol at your local filling station.

284. #279 2 votes for the educated? What planet do they do that on? Plenty of educated people are voting PF out of a lack of choice if not a desire for change. I think your attitude about Zambians is arrogant at best

285. Whatever Lobola Pf could have paid for the post Bride,it must be very high.Just a few weeks ago the post in its editorial wrote words like,In zambia popularity or huge rallies hardly translates into an election victory.

     Early morning news on HOT fm, it was reported that PF has rallied in support of its leader over him serving for 5 complete years should he win.

     If the post stands for democracy lets hear them condemn such utterances.It appears when you are in good books with these guyz,your wrongs are excused.

286. #283 contd. Further we only have one refinery. Because of these constraints Zambia will take longer to take advantage of current falls in oil prices. Here in the UK the low prices began to reflect within weeks, meaning they have already refined the crude oil we bought with them at high prices. Because there are many refineries, those who are earlier to source cheaper petrol also were earlier to reduce the price. In Zambia we all source from Indeni, so unless the Govt reduces some tax we will have to wait untill indeni catches up with cheaper crude oil. Now if we are reducing tax, the question is where do we get other moneys to plug the hole being created in the budget? Projects?

287. #283 UK Zed Observaer, I dont agree with your analysis, am not an expert,but atleast i know something about fuel.

     Countries in central africa like Zimbabwe get fuel from Zambia,but fuel there is twice cheapper than here.Those theories about time lag,port delays are not going to be acceptable,on books yes you might be correct,but in reality your details are not tallying with what is on the ground.

     Explain to me why, fuel got from Zambia is twice cheaper in countries like zimbabwe.

288. 263. Man of word,
     Be careful where you buy your fertilizer. If you are not careful thieves will still your money. If you bought your fertilizer at K200,000 you lost 3 bags. Otherwise the price is K50,000. I feel for you for the theft that took place against your pocket. Next time try to put lock on your pocket so that the these caused misery to it will not do it again. And all in all be careful where you buy goods; you must understand that even at manda hill, one shop will have exergerated prices of the same milk from pamalat while others will have the reasonable acceptable prices. I am really sorry for you!

289. Hi all, what do you think about the PostNewspapers’ prostitution with politcal parties? In 2006, it was them against PF now they are more than willing to go to Bed with Sata just to save their investments. Come on guys, you know the type of chamelion Sata is.

290. #177(Fine),if you were in zambia you would have noticed that the level of developemental projects has increased just during this period,the election period,RB did not object to the salary increament untill he was selected as mmd presidential candidate.
     are you telling me that the next time will see development will be during another election period,that shud not be the case.RB promises to reduce fuel price wen voted in,why not now,coz he is acting president?

291. Thanks #284. I know that it was done before in the West, though many years ago. Controversial but it helped them to be where they are at now. In any case, I have raised the issue of illiterates to help us see that the presidents we have must demonstrate that they have ability to develop our nation. It is our votes that put them in office. The quality of voters have a direct link with the quality of the person you are putting in office. But that quality may not be the qualities needed to develop a nation. We need to find a way of educating our illiterates so they can understand issues. You cannot have an issue based campaign if people themselves are illiterate. They cannot demand it.

292. #291 I think you may have imagined it. Women with no vote, peasants with no vote, blacks with no vote etc. has all happened before but apamwamba-only voting? I don’t think so…

293. #287. I don’t know why fuel is cheaper in Zimbabwe. I know that they do not have a refinery and that they import most of their fuel from RSA. Fuel is cheaper in RSA for various reasons – close to sea, many refineries etc etc. In many countries, including Zambia, Tax on fuel is very high, sometimes more than 50%. So there’s a lot of room for a govt to play around with the tax component. So it could be that Zimbabwe’s tax on fuel is lower than that in Zambia.
     Input cost into RSA refineries is lower than Indeni’s. When Zed Gov in 2002 allowed OMCs to import fuel, a number of them reduced what they bought from Indeni because they could land it cheaper from RSA.

294. Lets vote wisely. Zambian govt has lost trillions of kwachas through delayed bank deposits and unretired imprest in just three years. HH we’ll tighten policies in govt spending to get money for free medicine and education…
     ANd its a pity that tribal issues keep coming up… I think if we were all objective, this would not have come up.

295. # 289. anonymous,
     The Post ‘margazine’ (i.e. fiction magazine) has a lot in common with Michael SATA of PF. The POST did not support SATA in 2006 because they did not know that they share the same principle; the principle of having no stand point. SATA and the POST both have opportunistic behaviour and that is why they can stand for one thing today and turn the following day without explanation. The POST and PF have another thing in common; name calling, insulting and fighting with people. So PF policies are not different from the POST’s policies and behaviour. SATA realised that the POST were friends in behaviour and he had to appologise for misunderstanding his friends.

296. RB is a swallow minded old man!!!!

297. #293 You may wish to know that one of the valid options that has been considered by both Zed Govt and World bank is that Indeni stop refining and the country imports refined products through the pipeline. What puts validity to this option is that we buy pure petrol, diesel and parafin, mix it with dirt ie crude oil then ask Indeni to purify it so that you can have pure petrol, diesel and prafin again. Definately you end up with petrol more expensive than when you began. Did we import refined petrol by pumping before, check history around 1973. Perhaps the best option is to invest in Indeni so much that we will be able to crack the heavy fuels so we can have more petrol from crude oil.Money!

298. 290. THE IMAGE BUILDER,
     RB may not reduce fuel now for a number of reasons;
     1) We only have a week b4 elections and that be enough to do the modalities of working out the pump price (I am using logic, I have not asked RB)
     2) When RB announced the proporsal for 1st reduction on fuel some opportunistic policians complained and issued a lot of threats even to the ministry of energy and the regulation board complaining that RB should not have reduced the price because he is disadvantaging our campaign.
     3)etc.

299. May i add country men that the best way to fight tribalism is too look at things objectively…. Party cadres/supporters should state why they are voting for their candidates full stop… Dont judge people on their tribal lines. I sign off with danny kaya’s sentiments … “you say am a prostitute how about you… how did you know… it takes one criminal to know the other”

300. Kal Popa an ancient philopher once said that ” every individual lookas the world using their own spectacles” if then they were liers they’d see everyone as a lier, and if they were tribal then every one as tribal…
     May i state here and now that only tribal people we’ll want to boarder their arguments on tribal lines….

     ABASH tribal Politics… lets vote for the best, and common sense suggests that in times of economic turmoil you get economic managers…VIVA HH for president. Can i get a hiya hiya , or even an AMen mweba ku church!!!

301. #293 refers.

     Here is an extract from an article on news.bbc.co.uk on petrol prices in the UK.

     “There are some winners when petrol prices rise, apart from the oil companies. Around 62% of the cost of a litre of petrol goes to the government, says Catalist. So every time the price goes up it benefits.”

302. Okey guys. we should not insult each other like that… Every man has the right to vote freely… I think we just need to do more door to door campaigns… even as a business owner i know my clients speak different launguages depending on their background but lack of education doesnt make them lesser man. Your job is to simplify your language. if you tell me the benefits then i’ll follow you…

     so mr. UK observer dont dare insult pipo because u were previleged to be were u r. use your position to benefit others. May God help you

303. I still believe that most pipo understand what goes on in their small little worlds… a marketeer knows what affects food prices, a kaphonya knows what to sell and how best to increase profits…engineers know how to calculate,,,they might not know the language of governance, economics and law but they sure have brains to understand what issues affect them. The one who communicates the best with them we’ll carry the day…

304. #298(FINE):YOU SEE THE PROBLEM WE HAVE AS A NATION RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE CANDIDATES WE HAVE ARE IN IT FOR SOMETHING,RB MAY BE OK BUT AM SCARED OF THE PEOPLE THAT SURROUND HIM,THEN TALKING OF SATA,HE HAS NO SYSTEM,WHICH EVER WAY OUR NATION IS IN TROUBLE

305. Image builder. Vote pakuboko

306. Remember. Pakuboko for change you can believe in

307. #303 The issue of educating voters is something needed. We may know about what is going on in our immediate environment but my argument is that a president needs to know much more. He must demonstrate this. After all he will be responsible for making serious decisions that affect everyone. Fine we have advisors but we know the power of our presidency. Take RB’s fuel reductions, it would be good to let people know the consequenses ie what budgeted projects will suffer, otherwise people will still be expecting the Govt to fulfil all its budgeted promises. Lack of knowledge does not mean one does not have capacity to learn. But somebody has to teach them. This’ll improve voters.

308. WE ARE AT A TIME THE WORLD IS FACED WITH A SERIOUS GLOBAL FINANCIAL CRISIS. THE USA AND POSSIBLE UK ARE FACED WITH A POSSIBLE RECESSION.
     CHINA’S DEMAND 4 COPPER HS DECLINED OVER THE LST FEW MONTHS. THESE TRENDS WHETHER WE LIKE IT OR NT WILL AFFECT OUR ECONOMY IF THEYHV NT YET STARTED AFFECTING US. I SAW SO BECAUSE LCM IN LUANSHYA HAS JST ANOUNCED THT IT IS SUSPENDING THE LONG AWAITED MULIASHI COPPER PROJECT CITING THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS AS THE REASON 4 ITS DECISION.
     THE INPLICATION FELLOW INTERLETUALS IS THT THE PROJECTED INCOME THROUGH WINDFALL TAX MAY NT BE REALIZED.

     SO I AS WHERE WILL RB GET THE MONEY TO SUPPORT AND SUSTAIN THE PRICES THAT HE IS SO ABNORMALLY CUTTING?

309. AND I ANSWER,
     THROUGH INCREASED PAYE.
     I NW UNDERSTAND WHY MAGANDE RIGHTLY SAID DON’T EXPECT PAYE TO GO DOWN NEXT YAER.
     THEREFORE BRACE YOUR SELVES FOR HIGH TAXES NEXT YEAR.

310. yes for King Cobra (Sata) no for RB.
