President Rupiah Banda

President Rupiah Banda has assured the people of Chipili constituency that once elected into office again, the MMD government will build a fisheries and agricultural training school in Luapula province.

President Banda said the training school to be constructed to train people in fish farming and general agriculture.

The president was speaking when he addressed a rally in Chipili constituency, today, to drum up support for the MMD candidate Jonathan Kapungwe.

He told the electorate of Chipili that once voted back into office he will reduce the cost that is attached to those involved in the fish business.

The president said that his government will continue to give subsidies to farmers so that they can produce more food for the country.

He assured the people of Chipili that the Food Reserve Agency will buy all the maize from the farmers and ensure that FRA pays them promptly.

He said the policy of the MMD government is to make sure it helps the farmer to produce more and then buy so that the farmers have enough money to empower themselves.

He said Luapula province has the potential to feed the whole nation due to the high rainfall it receives and the good soils that the province has.

He urged the people of Chipili Constituency to vote for him and MMD Chipili aspiring candidate Jonathan Kapungwe who he described as his son and all the MMD Councilors in order foster development in the area.

The president said the MMD is the only party that has a national character and encompasses all the people throughout the country unlike its rival opposition parties who he said have not managed to field candidates in all the constituencies.

He told the people that tribalism has no place in Zambia for no party can win an election from one tribe. He said for a party to win an election there must be a collective agreement by the people throughout the country to vote that particular party into office and not one region.

Present at the rally was former deputy speaker of the national assembly Jason Nfula.At the same rally the president received about 20 defectors who have joined the ruling party from the PF.

The 20 were led by PF Senga ward Councillor Kabo Mulenga.Speaking when he received those that have joined the MMD the President urged those already in the MMD not to sideline the new members but to work together learn from them to ensure that the party wins the elections.

  1. Honestly speaking. Y do u say tht this ad tht numba defected frm the PF. U knw the fine thing in PF z they are no membership cards. So saying so and so defected i mean its jst a sheer waste of time. Ad back to the ig ma. RB has jst messesd up with himself. If he had listened to the advices he was bn given i the first place he wouldnt hv found himself i this awful situation. NO ONE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD MESSES UP WITH THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. NOT ANY1

  2. It is too late. Jst start packing yo bags b4 Sept 4th. In life wen people critisize u jst knw tht they love u. Even God rebukes the ones he love.

  3. RB don’t tell lies there. What about the agriculture schools that are there already how are they doing???????????? Besides, in zambia we are remaining only with 2 ZCA schools in Monze and Mpika and if you visit these schools you can cry.  Please pipo don’t be fooled again.

    • Hi Ann,Ya know, I have the same problem, and I don’t have a goat sign! Haha. I was told I’d have it by mid-November. Yeah, right! No word about it since then. It’s very frisnratutg, to say the least. Have a good day!Renie

  4. #1 you have a point, Banda is like KK in 1991,, Pipo around KK were saying boss you are winning popularity and yet it was Donchi kubeba situation. Theiii shall not touch to the anointed Catholics wafwa

  5. Rb you should know by now that people of luapula are Not stupid and they will never forget how your MMD government have neglected them for along time.it is the same MMD who closed mansa batteries, failed to turn a province into tourism destination considering the two big lakes and water falls the province has. Therefore mr Rb dont even waste your time coz pipo of luapula  will never give votes to MMD coz your gvernment has neglected them, from chiluba, mwanawasa to you RB.

  6. Banda’s biggest weekness as a politician is his luck of ability to lie. He is making very relevant and realistic promises to the people of luapula. It’s nice to note also that he did not say in three. Love this guy

  7. Old style cheap politics of the 60s…why can’t buffoon RB sell and articulate his manifesto instead of this crap!!

  8. #3 you have it right I too fail to understand the logic in this promise. Run down existing infrastructure and promise to build new ones, how sad!

  9. Well, Well and well, why do people lie? Promise them even a shopping Mall and University Teaching Hospital. After all, they are from Luapula, the most backward province on Earth

  10. RB – Vote for me, I am a clueless nkote who says whatever pops up in my fuzzy brain. Also prepare a 3rd plot at embassy park because I will be headed there soon and you all have to find another president again. Please vote for me

  11. Why can’t he promise us a College of Oceanographic Studies, a Medical School, Luapula Institute of Laptop Technology – College President – Katele Kalumba? What will be the name of the institute he wants to build? Tubulu Institute of Fishing and Swimming? Wow, I can’t believe I am from such a neglected province, people can still allow the person who has neglected them to even speak to them. We must be very tolerant people. No, I mean docile. No, I mean hopeless. No, we still have hope. I think we are really damn. No, we are not, what is the right word I want? I really don’t know what we are. After all the all Zambia is just as damn as we are, only that they have some mental case chiefs like Mwanachingwala. Do we have chiefs in Luapula? What do they do? I don’t hear about them.

    • You might want to consider tikang it down until you get high speed hooked up. Keep the goats in the chicken house or something, don’t let them cross the road. That way, when the guy is there to hook you up, he won’t get hurt.We’ve had high speed for a long time…..we live by one of the largest cities in the USA. That also means our car insurance rates are sky high. I guess it’s worth it for witty inventions.

    • “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and sceremad. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  16. Hello Big Boss. Now you are fattening the calf at the eleventh hour. Even the most s.t.u.p.i.d of all f.o.o.l.s will advise you not to open your mouth anymore until the election time. Now you are panicking. Are you under pressure. I was almost depositing some confidence in you, but from the time you started ku sabaila, I am totally lost
