President Banda writes off sitting tenants’ debts

1. If councils have failed to do their job, then it is okay for the President to give directives according to our research student’s work. Politics aside, RB be should be commended for easing the financial pain of the tenants who include opposition members.

2. Not surprised at all,considering how this man loses on the copperbelt. He now wants the 3 thousand plus votes to help him get some votes. RB has lived like that all his life: Corruption & Bribery. I don’t vote for such qualities. I have always told my countrymen that I will only vote for a President whose qualities are better than mine: Wealthy, Accademics, integrity, etc, not a someone who was almost rotting at a not so good farm.

3. This is really *****ic.!why would a president be involved in local issues. If these people don’t pay their rent they should be evicted. That is how an economy is suppose to function. We encourage freeloading too much in Zambia. wonder why we don’t advance economically. As along as people don’t take responsibility for their actions, we are not going anywhere. 

4. This man is a lunatic. Has he considered the econimic point of matters for the Institution? Even when Indeco sold houses under the scrupilous FTJ the parastatal had to recovere the amounts owed after sales of the properties from sitting tenants. Those who owed if they could pay where given the option to sell with interests from the holding company. Mwe bantu. Bushe RB ali pwisha isukulu please. Even an eaterner doesnt behave like this. What a desperate fool

5. How does the president just wake up and issue a directive like this? And on the issue of roads, the mines are destroying them. Therefore, tax them for the repairs. Why blame the council for something outside there control

6. #3 you are so right

7. He is blaming PF run Councils when he knows very well that the Council revenue is being collected and controlled from Lusaka, with an aim to incapacitate the PF run Local Authorities so that today we can be hearing such nonsense. The mines are busy destroying the environment on the Copperbelt, but RB does not want them to be taxed appropriately. This behaviour is outright RUBBISH…………

8. The roads are in bad shape because you and Musokotwane have refused to tax the mines or direct them to redo the roads. Ndola -Mufulira road is pathetic to say the least and so is Mufulira Sabina road. In Mufulira townships there are no proper roads remaining, only very big pot holes. Ya blame the councils is an easy way but we know why this is the case and we shall vote wisely. No rigging and we want PVT.

9. This should appeal even to those MMD cadres who had the slightest hope, on how an ***** this monkey is. The real issue on the Copperbelt is not that people have failed to pay for those 1936 dilapidated houses, but that ZCCM and Rupiah and MMD have conviniently not been issuing title deeds to people that bought them. I have not received a titile dead 13 years own since we bought a ZCCM house is Kitwe and wonder if a normal person would be talking about this.
   Am pretty sure this desparate peasant farmer this that is a punchline, not for the Copperbelt. Vote PaBwata, ifipuba Pankoloko. Zwaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

10. Fantastic news Mr. President. This is really empowering people on the Copperbelt. I also do agree that the PF run councils in the Copperbelt have failed to efficiently run the councils. They are no worst than the PF controlled LCC which is preoccupied with allocating themselves plots.

    This year, MMD is winning with a landslide victory. We don’t want mediocrity from Mr. Sata. We want continuity with development and that can only be achieved with MMD. MMD 2011.

11. Zambian empowerment.
    RB 2011
    Viva all the way!

12. #11 You call this Empowerment, let us get serious, this is just another Campaign stunt, why do it now? Where was he all this time? Shows how these Leaders are out of touch with their people. You mean Zambia has no policies, a President can just wake up and do what ever he wants?

    Would be Good to know the Value of Debt Written off. Get your Houses and shock him. VOTE FOR SATA.

13. Thanks RB, but people will still vote PF. You have not baught anyones vote. People know that PF will not turn around and reinstate the debts.

    RBs management is useless, he has now punched a huge hole in the ZCCIH balance sheet by moving the debtors figure to bad debts written off in the P & L accounting

14. MAN OF THE PEOPLE, AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM LEAKING BRAINS OF WINTER KABIMBA AND HH. PARTIES WITHOUT STAMINOR ARE PF & UPND

15. visit Kigali and you will be embarrassed to see how behind we are…even countries which have gone through terrible wars and have no resources have done far much better than us….come on,stop praising the shitty job your leaders do,criticize them and take the to book so that they can do better,right now they are just working like many fools who just wait for 17hrs at work

16. I do not know much about the history behind these houses; but what I do know is that we have a bad constitution which bad leaders take advantage of. One day someone will just wake up and nullify marriages in the country as show of unbounded power – careful you guys with wives below 40 years!!

17. Mr.RB is a desperate old man. He thinks his cheap political statements will help him turn tables on the CB! The political consultant’s schemes won’t work this time around. VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE’s PACK-VOTE PA BWATO. Bo RB has even now reduced his foreign trips to blind fold the voters as we get nearer to elections. We are not blind neither don’t we have ears! 2011 RB must be evicted from Plot One and put in a new tenant in the name of SATA period!

18. People on the copperbelt enjoy those free houses I was born there but vote for change and shock that ***** who thinks he can buy votes by giving away houses that he never bulit he think Nkana is like his back yard chipata there people do not take nonsence!

19. Thanks for writing off all those debts. However, you can’t buy votes that my dear. Copperbelt is a PF stronghold fool.period!

20. RB Nafuti Nafuti – This is the advantage of incumbency. While PF was promising to write off the debts, RB does it by a stoke of a pen. He has directed Commissioner of Lands to expedite the issuance of title deeds. So the opposition will soon run out of ideas coz the very things their councils have to do, will be done by RB. The PF Councils were not working as per Sata directive in 2006 to undermine the MMD govt by not doing anything that would make the MMD govt look good.

21. DON’T UKUBEBA! Get the houses and benefits but don’t vote for them. Rupiah, Chiluba’s tactics will not help

22. Viva RB
    Economic development is coming back to CB.
    PF councils have FAILED the CB citizens.They
    should all be suspended just LCC.
    Why do chaps on the CB always want to keep
    voting for a man who will NEVER be president.
    Wake Up 2011 RB is through and someone will
    be sent into RETIREMENT back to Mpika.
    VIVA RB ECONOMIC CRUSADE 2011 to 2016
    Nafuti Nafuti.

23. We await what the senile snake will say about this.ha ha ha ke ke ke.

24. Politics and corruption!!! What about the people that already finished paying for the same house, don’t they feel cheated?!
    Anyway, the beneficiaries should just enjoy the gesture but DONCHI KUBEBA! Eat the money and vote Pa Bwato!

25. get the houses but don’t forget to vote wisely, 2011 mwaka wa change

26. This is exactly what Chiluba did with council houses & all local authorities in Zambia were ruined with their only source of revenue taken away from them, for peanuts. Imagine if you are one of those who have already paid for your house in full, won’t you feel cheated? And what happens to ZCCM IH, where will they find the money to fill this void resultant from the forced write-off? The prices for these houses were arrived at from valuations conducted by well qualified government evaluators, how then could Banda as head of government turn around & claim the prices are exorbitant? Failure to pay has nothing to do with exorbitant prices, most of these people lost their jobs because of the govt’s disastrous privatization program. The insanity in our corridors of power stink.

27. Viva RB!!U will be remembered for this at least thgh it doesnt chnge anything.People cannot eat dilapidated houses and lst minute road repair promises.People need wholesome change in their lives not bit by bit or wht is locally known as dyonko.Too bad this is your lst year in office.The MMD have already messed things up so no matter how they try people’s minds have oredy been made up.Its like a wife who has been battered since the day she was married and one day decides to pack and leave since she has had enough despite hubby’s pleas.Learn lessons.Never take people 4 grantd.They weild enormous power,they are the masters.

28. VIVA PF, the writing off of peoples debts will not change the minds of the people on the copperbelt. Change is inevitable. The PF will ensure that we build more houses so that the council can have a source of income, not this agriculture economist who does not understand economics.

29. Its a failed deal coz even the tenants or owners now will not vote for the him.

30. You know am not English but I mean’t to mean that even the so called house owners will not vote for him.

31. no wonder donor countries are pulling out of Zambia, we are not serious. There is nothing for free on this earth mr RB. In developed countries people work hard thats why they are developing fast, what RB has done is to encourage laziness. He should have found ways of strengthening councils so that more revenue is collected instead of just burdening civil servants with PAYE. What of those who already finished paying how will they feel? Anyway people’s minds are set for change whether free houses or not SATA and PF are winning.

32. Maybe RB makes sense for now. I am at pains trying to make out how PF will pull out a surprise win in this years general elections. it seems they have too many odds against them apart form their leader failing to go up the sixth floor of Lottie House for a scheduled interview.

33. Pf donchi kubeba. Just get those houses but cast on the boat.

34. This reminds me of FTJ issuing a few title deeds to miners at a rally in Kitwe before the elections but more than 10 years later we are still waiting for title deeds. Maybe RB should have come with a few more title deeds, after all elections are just around the corner.

35. ) Cnt fool any 1. We knw who 2vote 4 period!

36. #30 true here in developed places people really work. These muzunguzi work overtime to buy a house on 20-30 yrs morgage. I was suprised when I came here first time as a student. I used to work to pay my school fees. Working overtime with the umusungu. I found out the muzungu in Zambia is far different from here in Aussie. The muzungu in Zambia people give him too much respect and kiss his asssss. But here it is the same we all equal according to the law. RB please must retire he has no vision for the country. as president you need to provide employment so that people are able to pay their debt. Encourage hard work.

37. thanx for the writing of the debt.but i think it is just the waste of time.Pipo here mwandi they stopped voting for MMD a long time ago and even with this empowerment i dont they can vote for RB.The other reason is that pipo here mwandi Ba RB they think and most of them are learned u cant cheat them by those outdated houses u are giving them.Mind u the highest number of voters in the Country are here on the CB.We will be waiting for another handout in the next two from RB as per promise.

38. Good move Mr. President! There are still more parastatal houses which can be off loaded to the citizens.Please consider selling them to sitting tenants as these parastatals have failed to maintain them. Some of them were last maintained more than 20 years ago and are dilapidated.

39. shame on u fellows.

40. Chiluba’s 1996 winning tactics at work. Will these tactics work well for Rupiah? Lets wait and see. Plots are very expensive for new developers and some people are given free houses,what will be the reaction of those who havent benefited from these campaign of Rupiah. Having lost the grip of Western Province,will Copperbelt become the new fish pond for Rupiah’s votes or the PF slogan “DON’T KUBEBA” will surprise Rupiah. Will houses and monetory benefits from Rupiah’s campaign quench people’s thirsty for change?

41. If RB is capable of this act, then with Sata it would be worse :-). Remember how he woke up one day as Minister of Local Government ordered the demolition of Kanyama, Misisi, John Laing and Kuku compounds to be replaced by better homes. That time he had someone to report to, if he becomes president he is his own master!

42. This is more realistic than the 90-day promise. I’m very sure ZCCM-I has other commercial stock to rely on. Developed countries have benefits for their economically disadvantaged citizens. If our GRZ can (as share holders) can afford to give a few struggling families some relief, why not? Benefits in the west are not called corruption, dont be brain-washed. What RB has done is stronger than empty promises

43. Desperation-Desperation, What a simple trick. Chiluba’s advice wont work. Where were you all these years? Afterv election RB will disappear again to only to be seen again at election time with anaother trick from Chiluba’s international tricks. I guess you have a big problem in your chief consultant. Chiluba is rejected by people from his own village, how about the rest.

45. why do my posts take so long to be posted? what are you really modulating? I have no insults in my posts and yet they take forever to be added here ….pending for modulator approval???shame on you

46. I thought this President is an economist? Pardon me, he studied History of Economics. Does he understand the Balance Sheet of a company like ZCCM. Deos he understand the implications of writting Off Debts all at once. Debtors constitute an important asset on the Balance sheet of an organization which cannot just be written off without due consideration on the financial impact on the organization. Look at what happened to councils following Kafupi’s ‘directives’. If Ala-Bee was serious, the Government or even MMD as a party should have offered to pay-off the outstanding debt on behalf of the tenants. Yangu mwe bantu!

47. The president has done the right thing. Most villages in Zambia have no access to good drinking water. Most children wake up very early in the morning and walk miles upon miles to nearby streams to fetch drinking water and water for domestic purposes. Most of the streams in Zambia are full of water-borne diseases such as river blindness, sleeping sickness, diarrhoea, cholera, typhoid, and other water based diseases like guinea worm, and Bilharzias. The country is so poor. I Know I am leading a better life with a man of my dreams, but I want to reach out to those people above. Some zambian men are not men at all. If you come here you can see what a man is, treats a woman, and oughts to be. Zambia needs more than prayers, SCARY Thanks

48. I went to my village in Northen province in 2005 with Mum. i was amazed and shocked descending down the road leading to the village appears these numerous foot paths, branching north and forth from the main road, like a network of channels in the termitarium (Ant hill), taking people into and out of their Maize fields. Just a few steps appear these erected structures, thatched and roofed with dry grasses sometimes with some rusty sheets on them, housing human souls from the serpents and scorpions at night. Mosquitoes do their part at night, biting even the eyeballs, digging through the bodies in search of gold and raising the temperature to a thousand degrees Celsius within a few days. It was a great experience but not something I would want to do again! Thanks

49. Mushota you missing out a good black zedian man. Who’s name is mwanya bane. Come to Aussie I will treat u big time.

50. Mushota, you seem to hate Zambian men so much? While in Zambia, did you work as a p and someone worked on you and never gave you a dime?

51. Mushota, I know the likes of you Zambia girls who marry old bazungus for money and will jump into bed with any any Zedian man any time. I have seen it here and heard of a lot that side of Atlantic

52. Good afternoon

    Desperation or consideration? No doubt, the move to alleviate financial pressure from the ordinary Zambian is a good one but why should this happen before elections? Ulterior motive is strongly suspected.

    “Never let a politician grant you a favour. He will always want to control you forever!”

    “Revolution” by Bob Marley.

53. Because of Mr Sata’s terrible history (which is well documented in Namakando’s Post), in comparison every other politician in Zambia looks like an angel fresh form heaven.

54. Because of Mr Sata’s terrible history (which is well documented in Namakando’s Post), in comparison every other politician in Zambia looks like an angel fresh from heaven.

55. The affected people (the voters) of CB asked for this from their govenrment, the government about it and decided to respond positively. Whether those affected people respond with a vote for RB is their democratic right, nothing to do with PF. Many of us benefitted from this empowerment, and we should not complain when it is the turn of others, unless we are first start by giving up our benefits.

56. Mushota, I usually tolerate your provocative comments and occasionally defend you from attacks by other bloggers because of your personal anecdotes but today I must say that that I feel megatively affected by your comments 46,47 especially because I am also a Zambian man who originates from the Northern part of Zambia.

    You are definately not being wise by trying to ridicule Zambian men or painting a gloomy picture of the Zambian village scenario. Our country is neither poor nor our people helpless! You need to go back to history and understand how Africa was underdeveloped by the West through plundering of resources & slaves instead of writing long monologues that have no meaning to anyone but yourself. Please post something useful or having anything to do with the subject at hand.

57. e I understand your stance, and I don’t mean to get to you personally, I have a lot of respect for you, I am merely talking of the average Zambian Man, not all, dare I say most?

    Remember One in FIVE Zambian children dies before the age of five. According to UNICEF Nearly one third of children in Zambia are underweight. Why do these Men have these children if they cant afford them? Between 1 and 1.5 million zambian have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Nearly Nearly 400, 000 children under 14 years old are HIV positive. 23% of children in zambia do not have safe, accessible drinking water. Who should I blame, the MAN. It upsets me. Remember Only 67% of African children are enrolled in primary education, and one in three of those does not complete school. Its beyond comprehension. Thanks

58. correction in #55: “negatively affected”

    Mushota, my intention is not to bash you, but we’re not always in the jolly mood to takesuch ugly forms of defamation of our motherland and our countrymen/women and yet you yourself originates from there but you are seen to be obviously contradicting yourself by trying to claim a moral high-ground simply because you reside in a foreign country.

    Thus, my friendly advice to you is that you restore a degree of sensitivity to your comments about Zambia and Zambian people in future. This is simply because I feel that you have absolutely no right to claim ethical superiority when we all share the same tone of skin. Let us continue to debate issues without vile methods defamation. Nobody here needs to feel guilty of being Zambian.

    Thanks

59. viva R B. Continue doing good.Ba fipe ba PF have wrecked our concils on the copperbelt.U HAVE DONE WELL TO ASSIST THE POOR ZAMBIANS ON THE COPPERBELT.

60. I take your comments on board Chale, albeit with a pinch of salt to e honest. I absoloutely respect your opinion and I am not here deviate it, in any shape or form. To start with I will always be zambian, thats not to say I should be proud of being one. If you were born disabled you accept it but you are probably not happy. I love zambia by default and also If i were to be born again I probably would ask God to be British , but I have reluctantly accepted. The reason is simple, I do not accept the way women are treated My mother was often beat by my father and that was the norm, and I refuse to accept that. I refuse to live in povery, I refuse to die young, I refuse to let go arguably the best life I could possibly seek.I want to be british, and please acceot it. Thats just me Thanks

61. Just out of curiosity, what’s Mushota’s educational background? Sounds like a Grade 9 who thinks being abroad makes her a better person. You are what you , you are who you are, whether in England, na Bwalyachiolmbo, shang’ombo, Ibex, Misisi, Kuku etc. She bears signs of inferiority complex. She thinks white people are better than black people, hence her marrying into a ‘higher class’ makes her better. Sisi, what low thinking!!! Can’t get worse than that!!! Even quoting Unicef stats. he he he

    Feel sorry for her. Get a life – with your 72yr old Muzungu. who needs tonnes of pills to manage her.

    • She needs a doctor..sorry a psychiatrist because inferiority complexes are not only inhibiting but could cause depression when what you are clinging to for self -pride dissappears.

62. I wonder what type of economics Rupiah Banda has. And why is he using the name of MMD has though MMD built those flats. He has now resolted to corruption in a bid to win election. He has no vision for this country no wonder the desparation. We need change.

63. Chale,
    The name Africa is derived from the Banu Ifran a tribe residing in Algeria. It also means the people of the cave or dust. It also means birthplace and without cold. It is the oldest inhabited continent. More than thirty million African have been enslaved from 7th to 20th century via Indian and Atlantic oceans. Zambia being a subject of that means we are ‘people of the cave’. Difference is since some of us have left perharps we need to think about people back home.We know
    the spread of fatal diseases and viruses as those of HIV/AIDS and malaria are rife in Zambia. What are you doing about it, I bet nothing right? Why are we finding it hard to accept that as Zambians and Africans we are perceived second rate by the West. We have land but dont know what to do with it. Thanks

64. In the eyes of poverty this is common Political Barter System. You don’t need telescopic eyes or juju to see Ala Bi’s dirty maneuvers. Your vote buying is in vain. People have been paying for those houses as far as ten years back, they’ve brought the balances to almost nothing and now resurface from your toilet preaching write off. Clever kambwanga

65. Capitalist you are a shameless cadre who wants to be in a skin of an analytical technocrat. you support nosense. you sided with Mulongoti’s when he was in government and many others. you are just an unprincipled cadre like your brother Ben Kangwa alas Senior citizen

66. Ba Chale & Mushota (mwanakashi ashifwala peatcoat) , this is not about your love story. This about RB Social responsibility. Thank you Banda for writing off debts, that is important. For blaming Local Government, he should first blame Mike Mulongoti who was Works and Supply Minister. And that PF local government don’t they report to Brian Chituwo? Thank you anyway RB to help us in Copperbelt, even though you are a year late.

67. Ba LT why are you blocking my contribution?

68. 59 Reminder

    I only respond to people I respect and I learn from. Hence my responses to Chale, Bootlicker, 3E etc

    When I realise you are evidently depleted minds that don’t respect me as a woman. If you dare to accept what I stand for, fine and I will respect that.

    But If you resort to questioning my Intelligence, use profanity and doubt my sanity mind, we then have a problem

    Seriously consider yourself luck that I even responded to you.

    Next time I don’t, bare that in your mind.

    I can bet one thing though, you are half the man my man is. Mmmh

    Better off feeding our 5 hens in garden, than ranting at dull souls . Thanks

69. These are clear desperate efforts of soliciting for votes. Very cheap and damaging politics. There is nothing for free. The question is who will pay for debts that have been cancelled. The spirit of handouts is so damaging to any economy. Well get the free houses but dont vote for the quack.

70. #63 Mushota, after reading all what you wrote and people commented to you, sounds like you better find a “woman’s club” in your beautiful countryside you live. To keep you dignity and service your FULL man, it better you go out and spend hours feeding your hens. Watch how those female birds are behaving and you may learn something from them. That is what I advise my people in chiefdom.

71. Straight from FTJ’s handbook! This is so low and cheap of RB! Campaign strategies at work and excessive use of Presidential powers! Shame on u RB

72. i feel their pipo who are paid to divert debates on this blog..!!!

73. Corruption plus vote buying?

74. #67 Ba Ndola, you Mushota is a corrupt or prostituting on LT?

75. Debt cancellation is not a bad idea, but why is it done only in this yr? How come the sitting tenant failled to settle it out?…. UBULOFWA, (LACK OF JOB OPPORTUNITIES), UNDEROPAYMENT BY THE NOW EMPLOYERS…… Are we going to continue living like that, living by the crumbs falling from the table of our own Servants( BAFILOLO, NABA KATEKA TWAIINGISHISHE MU OFFESHI)? Nesho inkongole wafuta niwe bakongolako? Nangula Who will replace that  sum coz it’s due that the people contribute for whatever social service receive… SHINE YOUR EYEZ MY COPPERBELT DWELLERS…

76. Ala Bee you feard to attend Kuomboka you go to CB to practice cheap politics.Shame on you

77. Debt write off is well done. Most of the tenants in those houses are not working, others the bread winners have died. Many of these brothers and sisters have no meaningful way of getting the money. The tenants cried loudly to have this debt relief and their govt and our govt responded positively. Whether it is political or NOT the pressure on these poor Zambians has been taken off. Thanks to the President. Most people will remember that when SATA was minister of local govt and was also MMD chairman for housing and Local govt. MMD used this same tactics to sell houses at K10,000.00. If it was good proposal by SATA and he defended it on all the public rallies of 1996, when the late Dean Mongomba (MHSRIP) spoke against it. SATA was then in forefront of this campaign gimmick of cheap hse sale

78. Mushota, to wish to be born British is a clear sign of one’s low self esteem no wonder you cant even distinguish between what you are writing about and what the issue is . I am in england right now and there is really nothing to ride home about. I have lived in other parts of the world and to tell you the truth there is nothing like home. Zambia is a lovely country and i am very proud to be zambian its beautiful. Let =s discuss the issue at hand not ubupuba ubo ulefwaya ukulaleta. Let s talk about rb and houses on the cb and please have respect for men folk and my beatiful sons of zambia, wekapuba we.

79. #72 cont……..Why should it be wrong for RB to use what MMD under SATA used in 1996. People should argue on principle. IF PF president supported this move in 1996 it means even PF members should support this move as progressive. IF he says it is bad then i have a problem with his sincerity. what he called good can not be bad now. The issue of balance sheet debt and assets accounting is book entry. The debts have been outstanding for years and are already bad debts and provisions were already made for bad debts and deducted after 1 year from debt of defaulty. so the write off is against the provision for bad debts. The income statement will NOT be affected since provisions were already made. when u are criticising MMD on this do that to SATA and Chiluba the source of this bribery.

80. Just out of curiosity can a well educated PF supporter give me some 5 reasons why people should vote PF.Please do not mention MMD or RB  in your reasons.In your reasons give testimony to Satas/PF achievements in the past 10 years.Please do not use emotionalism,sensationalism,slogans etc.This is a serious question directed only to those with a high IQ

81. Flankly, speaking Zambians we’re fooools, why vote for PF. PF MPs & councilors have failed lamentably to initiate even simple project, that does not require money from government. am in chingola, nchanga south and i don’t even know the mp here and not even a toilet has been constructed by him

82. Chiwamila galu kuluma mbuzi, but osati mbuzi kuluma galu. There is nothing on the soil of Zambia which PF can honestly criticise, because if it is bad PF have done it before and will continue doing it if they get the chance. Just consult Namakando Mmembe’s Post, they have a full record of Mr Sata’s character and misdemeanours.

83. IF DEC WANT NINKWATA E BANGE

84. #81 muskat, you are right. The PF councils will not even mend a pothole if they have their way. The idea is to show that RB’s government is not working, the impact of their deliberate inaction on the people they serve is secondary to PF. PF MPs will not even bother to mobilise government support for their areas, but now people are beginning to question whether RB indeed has to come down to mend potholes. Anyway, finally RB has decided to come to the rescue of CB residents, not to mend potholes but to rehabilitate roads.

85. IF DEC WANT NINKWATA E BANGE ILIKALI
    IWE KANYAWALI UKESE SENDAKO KA BOL KAMO
    WAUFYA

86. # 80 Advise me on whether this blog is a catechism class?

87. Why is Kuomboka not covered, we know that it is full of UPND popularity and to cover it will mean covering UPND as well that it is spreading like world fire. Media houses have been told not to cover UPND just to show the impression that it does not exist, therefore there are only two choices in this coming election of either MMD or it’s branch PF. We know this will not work as it never worked in Chilanga where UPND won without media coverage. People of Zambia are now mature politically and they know what is right for them. They have realised that many of these media houses are owned by individuals and have their own preferences and inclinations to certain people, so you have to make your own judgement as an individual. HH will win in this coming election come rain come sunshine.

88. SHI CHANDA

89. From MMD to PF, I do not see any sign of change as PF is another branch of MMD which was formed by disgrantaled members of MMD who were against Mwanawasa’s fight against corruption which was seen as fighting Bembas. Sata already promised to us in 2006 to forgive all Bembas who are involved in corruption.

90. It’s all political corruption!! Any way what do we expect from corrupt RB? You question where rb came from! he was woken up from deep slumber in some small shamba of maize ithout any plan for the country and hence his waking up from no where to give directives on economic issues whose impact he has neber bothered to contomplate. Instead of telling the nation about the fate of ZAMTEL following the freezing of assets he is busy corrupting poor people’s minds. Shame on you!!!! ViVA PEOPLE’S PACT VIVA SATA VIVA PF

91. PF made a pact with you not everyone, so say viva our pact with PF

92. mushota y the hell do u bother to show yo ass here when u seem to care very litu abt zambia and her citizen.coz u r always off the subject.u ve no rite to insult zambian men jst bcoz yo miserable paps use to beat yo mums and if that muzungu of yoz rescured u from the jaws of poverty praise him somewhere else or ratherjust praise descently.otherwise i ll unleash umusalula ubi.

93. i wish there can be directive to Zesco too. Electricitt bill is too much.

94. RB
    That is good i think now you have completed the sale of ZCCM houses along side copperbelt like u have mentioned but the suprising thing is why not also give the mukuba natwange housing units to the sitting tenants. Most of the houses were sold at the higher prices.

95. There goes your tax Kwachas fellas. Someone has to pay for that write off or else some company somewhere will be choking. There is nada for nada… Just a thought.

96. Countrymen and Women, I need to be schooled. What role has the Party on whose ticket councillors stood have to play in the running of the council? I thought councils are run by professional town clerks and their Directors! Is the council not just for policy matters? If so, lets see any single policy which any ‘PF run’ council put up that suggests that roads should not be done? If roads are not done in Luashya, is it because of PF? What about Solwezi where all township roads are worse than any copperbelt town? Is Solwezi council not full of MMD concillors?

    We better be serious with what we talk about.

97. What I have failed to understand is why some of you chaps have a problem with those of us who decided to come and live in the first world? Life is about making choices so you have no right to question were one thinks is the right place for them to live- leave us alone in the land of buy one get one free!

98. RB thinks that copperbelt is a land of villagers who can easily be bought with cheap politics. Pack your bags and go back to your farm in chipata RB! Atleast you’ve raised enough capital to go and revive your farm. Shame on RB! Shame on MMD!

99. Celebrate But Don’t Kubeba

100. “He charged that it was not because of elections that government has decided to take up the rehabilitation of roads in the province but because local councils have failed to do so.”

     Of course not!…..silly people! Why would you possibly think that my decision to not rehabilitate the roads all these years and then all of a sudden do so around election time would be anything but genuine?  

101. Mushota # 47 & 48,please talk about a subject at hand.If u’ve got nothing 2 tok about,just keep queit.

102. … I know this is off hand but it is worthy trying. If it has worked for our friends on the copperbelt, it will work for us too. To, all Kwamwena Property Onwers, lets petition ZESCO through RB to install power minus the 40% threshold. We need power like yesterday and they want to subject us to the ‘unpractical 40%.’ Lets raise and voice out!!!

103. RB Chiwelewele!

104. Give them title deeds thats all they need!thanks Mr President but my Vote goes for SATA..THESE PEOPLE WONT EVEN RECEIVE THEIR DEEDS WHEN ELECTIONS ARE GONE BACK TO SQUARE ONE…POLITICS AT PLAY 

105. Thank you Ba RB for the house but I will not give you my vote,You should have instead built more houses than dish out our houses.Where will our children get houses from?Build more houses especially here in Kitwe.

106. Is there a Shrink on the Blog? One Mushota needs him!

107. The President has directed the free issue of some housing units belonging to Mukuba Pension Scheme in Kitwe at Mukuba Natwange in Wusakile. These units don not belong to ZCCM and Mukuba runs as an autonomous entity and gets private citizens money in form on pension contributions and invests that money in property and the returns and rentals from these properties is what is used to pay the monthly premiums to retirees. For the President to be ill informed and making such a blunder is actually alarming to say the least. It is a situation of the blind leading the blind.

108. Yaba! lyakose lyashi ba Bwezani: I think just resign to save face….

109. we salute the president for this 2011 gesture but let the president also come and cancel debts for students at unza,evelyn hone and cbu whom the have not offered basaries,even his poor civil servants from there debts with blue,bayport,microfin since hes the president for all
