The man deserves the post, well done!
He supposed to be elected president of zambia.he is the only symbol of change amongst the current crop of politicians
Mr Milupi, very disciplined and principled. We need MPs like him. Congratulations sir! Maybe the next prez…..
Congratulations CLM, you deserve it. Locally you deserve more than just an MP. Zambians are seeing.
#3. You have said it all. He is really the Man we can look up to. Good luck Mr Milupi.
#3 I agree with you. the only problem is that Zambians do not want to honour men of integrity like Mr. Milupi. The man deserves better than being an independent member of Parliament. They just recently removed him from being chairman of the Public Accounts Committee which he chairing very very well. and just look at his replacement, rubb1sh!!!!!!!!
Well done sir you really deserve that even more than that because you have brought pride to Zambia
Milupi is smart guy he deserves the position. Good luck Mr. Milupi.
Hon Milupi, Well done and let’s move this thing forward as a people so that we can contribute to good fortunes of our country, and nation.
Zambia needs leaders with the calibre of Milupi.This is the same material that we had in the late Anderson K Mazoka.We need to identify people with a vision for the nation who can take us out of the 19 th Century into the 21st Century!!Congrats and this answers your mediocre critics who removed you from heading the PAC only to be blessed with a higher and more influencial position.
This is the calibre of people we need in State House, not characters whose only aim is to forge degree certificates to land in State House or those whose only aim once there is “tumwendo munjila”.
