President Edgar Lungu has with immediate effect removed Attorney-General Mr. Musa Mwenye from his position.

President Lungu’s decision is pursuant to Article 54 (5) of the Constitution of Zambia. In letter signed today, the President thanked Mr. Mwenya for the services rendered to the nation.

Meanwhile President Lungu has appointed Major-General David Muma as Deputy Commander of the Zambia Airforce.

“In exercise of the powers vested in me pursuant to the provisions of Article 33(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Zambia and the provisions of the Defence Act, I hereby promote you to the rank and status of Major-General and appoint you as Deputy Commander in the Zambia Airforce with immediate effect,” President Lungu said in a letter to Gen. Muma.

In another development, the President has revoked the nomination of Mr. Daniel Munkombwe as Member of Parliament and swore-in Mr. Nathaniel Mubukwanu as Provincial Minister to take over from Mr. Daniel Munkombwe.

The Head of State said this in Lusaka today when he swore-in Mr. Mubukwanu, Zambia’s High Commissioner to Namibia Ms. Sylvia Chalikosa and Mr. Hibeene Mwiinga as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Development Affairs.

The President stressed that he would want as much as possible to ensure that his advisory unit at State House and Cabinet were as tribally and gender- balanced as much as possible whilst maintaining merit as the overriding criteria.

The President explained that although he did not know Mr. Mwiinga personally, he was impressed by his qualifications and experience and therefore he deemed it fit to appoint him.

    • This was expected, I thought it was evident he didn’t want Lungu to have the IP

      You have to be careful who you side with, and remain professional if you can.

      I would have done the same.I am sure he will be naive to say he didnt expect that

      Thanks

    • @Nostra – Nchito is also going…he is killin em softly bululu. Musa gone, Scott must be shaken…I however hope he keeps Scott.

    • Mutembo Nchito will be killed off slowly. He will be fired very soon. That we know!

      Its time to clean up the Justice Ministry…..

    • Your excellency, the bloom should stop here. To start with on valid ground i recommend you quickly retire in national interest the following:

      1). Secretary to the Cabinet Roland Msiska

      2). Zambia Security Intelligence Service (ZSIS) OOP(SD)- General Martin Mwanambale.

      But don’t consider his Deputy Nkhoma for the DG position. He is useless and highly compromised mole.

      3). The long list should include ZRA which needs mopping with detail. We will share details through established channels.

      Its time we restored sanity to the country and de-cartilize it ASAP.

    • Its time we start mobilizing tribunals and mounting of massive protests to eject a legion of subversive criminals in our national public offices.

    • Mutembo Nchito should have been first on the chopping board.He has compromised the DPP office.His conflict of interest should have long jolted him into resigning on moral grounds.EL should quickly show him the door out.

    • Zamdrop asset plunder be investigated.

      Methodical investigations should be immediately launched on assets stripping from the Zamdrop investigations recoveries. Mark Chona, Mutembo and M’membe must be scanned with detail including their proxies. A lot was recovered yet it has all but been plundered. The millions of US dollars gone in Zamdrop investigations turned out to be a double jeopardy.

    • Senior citizen,
      in 1.6 you wrote “Your excellency, the bloom should stop here”
      Then in 1.7 you wrote “I mean, the bloom should NOT stop here”

      Are we talking about a flower bloom here? I mean metaphorically speaking of course. Do you really consider these guys as resembling flowers?

    • One at a time. That way the don’t steal the staplers and markers at their offices. Chimpombwa ni pansi.

      Edgar showing them how the wise do it. One step at a time.

    • #1.6, That’s S Chung’s relation who has played a big role in Lungu’s being elected, so, just shut it. You are a alarmist.

    • Abena “Senior Citizen” kuti ni ba graduate ba pa Night school – utu ma “R” nu tu ma “L” fyu umfwika chimochine!!
      Ma “Blumu” mwandi senior citizen! Kosapo!!

    • Good riddance, just what I voted for.

      Need to see Fred MuMmembe squeezed to the last drop of his sweet. Watching from a distance in the meantime.

    • its human my bro/sis, you have to surround yourself with people you can trust. even you, would do the same. why keep a person who stabbed you in the back and never said sorry? ba lungu, seive them till you get what u are comfortable with. you have zambian’s mandate, so no akabepesho. seperate the sheep from the goats with caution

  5. Well, well, well. Is this the beginning of the dismantling of one tribal empire that people were complaining about? Let us watch with keen interest.

    • Appointing someone simply because he is Tonga, in the interest of self-preservation will not take Zambia forward. Just appoint your people with whom you don’t need to explain yourself. . . shine your eyes ba Zambia

  8. Musa Mwenye misbehaved himself during the acting President issue after the demise of King Cobra. He used the wrong article of the constitution just to fulfill his desire to make GS act. The article he should have used is 39 but used 38 deliberately! he deserves the sack!!!!

    • Your head need to be shot with 6 bullets….and your body dumped in nearby river 6 km from scene, or just cut in 6 pieces for dogs to feed..

    • pa chepa apa .
      For Edgar to survive 1 shouldn’t give this pipo any ministerial positions they are dangerous
      MILES,KAMBWILI,CHENDA,SHAMENDA,SIMUUSA,LUBINDA ,CHILANGWA,MASUMBA,MULONGOTI,FR BWALYA,EMMANUEL MWAMBA,MUKWITA,MUHABI,DORA,CHINTALA,KOPULANDE
      DCS FROM SOME DISTRICTS

      DEPUTY MINISTERS NON PERFORMING LIKE LANDS ,FORIE TEMBO.MONDE,SIAMUNENE NO FACTORS
      CHIBESA LOMBE MUST BE RETIRED PLEASE .LIBONGANI.
      THESE WILL UPRISE AGAINST THIS VODKA CHAKOLWA NOT TO BE TRUSTED
      MUTEMBO NCHITO.
      MEEMBE MEEMBE HES FAKE FAKE

  10. Dorah Siliya said it was expensive to start changing govt office bearers hence no need to change govt… So she was cheating herself and not Zambians… Let’s wait who is next but probably Mutembo Nchito…

    Remember, there’s also an invisible hand of RB… He can’t just fund Lungu without having a big say…

    This is Zambia the real Africa… Anyway, I’m enjoying my life and watching this from Germany…

    • Dora’s analysis was deeper than what you are referring to. The costs she anticipated were mainly linked to voting in a President with the least number of members of parliament. If HH had won the presidency, it was more than likely that we would have seen more defections from the PF, creating additional bye-elections and/or the inability for HH to carry out his mandate because he does not have the numbers in parley to help him do this, which would lead to dissolving parliament and having even more bye-elections. Dropping Musa Mwenye to appoint another person, will not take away much from the country coffers. Its tampering with the MPs that costs more money.

  11. Going by the appointments that President Lungu has made to his government so far, I think he’s started on a good note. For a change, we are going to see the PF government sharing the national cake equitably. Well done Mr. President!

    • You also need your head to be shot with 6 bullets….and your body dumped in nearby river 6 km from scene, or just cut in 6 pieces for dogs to feed..

  14. Don’t ever leave your enemy behind!

    Musa Mwenye messed up things for himself. He never thought Edgar would ever make it to the top position. Always try to play by the rules and fairly so, Mr. Mwenye. Lacking objectivity and foresight is a serious handicap. Sorry ba Mwenye, seleni tubombeko ifya mano, not ifyabupuba mwalechita naba Mmembe, Scott, na Mutembo. Ba kawalala imwe. More pop corn, please!

  15. “Now that I am in, everything Sata stood for I’ll change”. I will even change his vision for now then come back to it in 2016. Please pardon me for now, you Zambians are good people am sure you will understand that I have a job to do. When we were are back in 2016 I will consider the so called ‘Sata vision’. Mr. President that is the way to go after all you are the one that will be answerable to the Zambians. Yours was just an oversight during the euphoria that gripped the nation in the last few months.

  17. Musa played the red card along with Scott. This is not vengeance, its just human of him (Lungu) to do so. He can’t work with people he cannot trust.

  18. This was expected but not so soon. Mutembo Nchito and Roland Msiska should not wait to be removed. They should resign now.

    • I agree. They were the stars that staged the coup de grace and thought they were very clever. They got the news about the President’s demise first but did not even inform the Acting President. The announcement of the President’s death should have been done by the Acting President Mr Lungu, not the Secretary to the Cabinet

  19. My question is was it illegal for Guy to act? Mr President this is an act of revenge,try to have a forgiving heart. are you going to continue with Sata,s legacy with new people without people who knew what Sata was doing?
    I never knew that politics was this bad.
    Sorry Mr Musa don’t worry Mr Kabimba is coming with his RAINBOW PARTY to reinstate you as Attorney General

    • Yes, Guy Scott should be spared. He may have made some mistakes but that man is an icon. We saw how he ran this government the little time he was he acted as president. It’s only that the nature of our politics here Zambia and Africa generally are politics of patronage – you have to show allegiance to the leader otherwise you are gone. If it was a good system Guy Scott would have done more for Zambia.
      I also think that our President may have been advised by Mugabe to remove Scott and discard him off. Mugabe knows what the UK can do through Scott in taking Zambia’s development programmers ahead and that’s a threat to him. He doesn’t want anything white on his way. We should have been a little careful there and this is not the only thing to say about Scott.

  20. Edgar Lungu may end up to be Zambia’s most loved president!!!so far he is doing right things!!hope power wont corrupt him.if he continue like this,2016 elections will be won by PF easily!!!THIS MAN IS VERY CLEVER!!AM SURE LATE SATA SAW HOW WISE EL IS HENCE GIVING HIM 3 SENIOR POSTS!!!!THANK GOD FOR GIVING US EDGAR LUNGU!!!!am sure very soon the opposition will be silenced by EL excellent work!!!

  22. Yes,EL regional/tribal balancing is good but some areas are difficult to satisfy.However much you appoint their people or how much you try to balance development projects, they may just refuse to vote for you as long as you do not come from their region or tribe. You will have seen how many zeros you scored in some provinces despite what PF has done there in terms of developments (which in some cases is better than in some of PF’s strongholds). Balance well but do not loose sight of keeping your traditional voting blocks (strongholds) especially for political jobs like Ministers- as will need them when chips are down. As for technocrats,criteria should always be quality (merit) above all! And remember a good business person keeps old customers satisfied before chasing after new ones!

    • Point on! Kaunda did not get serious votes from some regions despite his tribal balancing. Please just appoint brainy people regardless of tribes – they are all over in all the 10 provinces. Stop the tribal vibe. We need brains and not tribes. Of course not in the Sata style – where he only saw brains in Bembaland.

  23. ‘mwanawasa’ one by one especially the bemba tribalists who thought they will be controlling you by remote control.Deal with them and show them that school is important,not just opening your mouth without thinking.

    • You are the TRIBALIST, leave the Bemba alone and get rid of yo inferiority complex. That tribal card won’t succeed in dividing the North and East, they are tribal cousins and love each other.

      You are a failure and a loser, You are also cursed, God is not with you, God does not support people with evil intetions.

      Know that God is the one who appoints leaders, so if your tribal Party lost then God is not with you.

      Shame on yu, yu are sick coz no matter the subject, yu must owez bring in the bemba tribe, yu need help

  25. Wise man from the east….well done. I am tonga and I supported UPND in the just ended elections. I was made to believe you knew NOTHING Mr President, but now mmmmmmm, you are indeed the right man for the job! Twalumba mwana wakwesu

  26. Go His Excellency Go- Please do what you deem fit to move the economy of Zambia forward.

    Recall those unmerited undeserving fake DIPLOMATS wasting our foreign exchange

    You sure are on right track and we are behind you 🙂

  27. Can Mr President expel Scott from the party & sent to the farm. He brought so much pain to us as your followers. Charging him for treason wouldn’t be a bad idea for usurping power illegally, we all know that. No wonder our late President never according him any acting role as president. We almost lost the elections because of him. Its an open secrete.

  28. Well it is clear EL has scores to settle, he must be impartial though because other people did what they did to protect the law. Certain decisions have to be made and the people who made such decisions must be hunted down. Witch hunt must be discouraged especially from the head of state. The Munkombwe is is good riddance though 😀 !

  29. i am beginning to like EL; he has found a vision after entering statehouse. MCS didnt have a human constitution only an animal one, EL comes in and starts the process of the constitution, he is addressing the equitable sharing of resources. the only thing i can advise him is to atleast discuss with UPND leadership before appointing their MPs. if they refuse, then he can tell us they have refused and then he can go ahead to appoint on individual basis.

    • “M C S didn’t have a human constitution only an animal one”

      hahahahahahahahahahahahaha That was funny. The Wisdom from the east really is true.

  32. Looks like his excellency might do a good job who knows, we have to accept it he is there to stay for 20 months before the true winner HH takes over. Please fire senior citizen, Kambiwili, Nsanda, and thank you for kicking Mwenye, if you can find a smart Tonga in place most of these bembas should go, we are tired of bemba being the offical language in places of work. Balance tribes Mr. President, I seem to be liking you so far. If you balance the bembas you might rule beyond 2016, I am for HH but if you deserve my vote based on your performance you have my back. I am bemba and no hard feelings for my tribe becasue they are lazy and they feel they deserve free, free. I work, different from my tribe, I am not married to a bemba so I have no boundary who I associate with. GoGo Mr. President.

  33. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! E L

    Next flush out those in Missions abroad- start with PRETORIA, Three quarter infiltrated by relations directly or through marraige of the visionless AND SELFISH Sata and Christine’s relations. Then look at London, then USA, Malaysia, China. Canada too. Look at these big Missions that will benefit our economy. We need a total overhaul Please ba KATEKA.
    Guys START PACKING

    • He’s already started bungling with Chalikosa for Namibia who is believed to have ties to Sata! At least Kaunda would give a brief resume on his appointments.

  34. Him MCS only thought of his family, he had a huge family tree, please Mr. President recall all those bembas from overseas appointed by him MCS, this is politics, replace them with Easterners and balance some of them. Please change official language in work places of work to English. It is only right to balance, just like you have denounced your panga family harassment of the opposition, him MCS never did because he was a coward, you have the power Mr. President. I have a feeling you might actually prove to be better than the last two, kanitundila and him MCS. Bring sanity to the judiciary, let people feel they are not slaves in the own country. Bembas had gone too far, put them in place, if you can Nchito should be out, watch Chikwanda, his business dealings. You do not need Chuungu

    • The last two were hopeless. He will definitely be better even if he just sleeps. The last one had no press conference in 3years. The later left everyone stll. Dora, Peter Daka etc.

    • Stop yo tribalism and speak issues yu dander head. Who has refused yu to speak yo tribe at yo work place. Leave the Bemba out of it you embacile

  36. kikiki what is wrong with some tribes.Bembas have showed you how to live but u’re still campaigning against bembas.very dull tribal chaps.No wonder pipo say HH will never be a president.When Mazoka died HH came into UPND through tribalism.Yo so cousins lozis were chased.Sakwiba would have been a president by now if he was not chased by some tribalists in UPND.Bembas wanted lungu instead of Miles Sampa,Nevers Mumba,Pule,Nawakwi.They rose and defeated tribalism.Now u’re saying chase all bembas from abroad!!!what wrong wit u tribalists?Is it that u’re villagers to think so low like that?We need One Zambia One Nation.Bembas are happy to have inonge as VP.Bembas voted for Mwanawasa whom u denied jst because he is lenge(Bantu botatwe).Fulllllllllllllll let us stop this tribalism.

  37. Here is why his excellency is going to win hearts of people, reduce the fraction of bemas in his adminstation. My tribe is trouble, have a few easterners but do not over do it like kanitundila. I am UPND but his start looks good except for those few bembas in strategic places, like Amos Chanda, he needed some other tribes, secrets will be opened up by this chap. Chuungu and Mwamba, also forget Dora should not be given any positions in his government. This will come as a shook but that is how smart leaders behave

  38. I know Musa very well, a straight forward person, I can’t comprehend how the cartel managed him in that manner . for the system its good redance.

  39. Musa Mwenye, was the most UNPATRIOTIC Zambian ever. A COLONIALIST APOLOGIST.

    I was very disappointed to have an unpresidential man such as Guy Scott as Acting President. Zambia has many patriotic White Zambians who can take up any new gov’t opening OUT of cabinet. NO MORE CEREMONIAL ANYTHING UNZAMBIAN NEAR OP PLEASE.

    Guy Scott is tooooo old to be in gov’t. I’m sure he will be glad to be given his P45 (Zambian equivalent) dismissal tax form. It would be a mistake to have that man in gov’t. He is too overt an individual. He will take any opportunity to undermine His Excellency.

    GBM, Masebo et al must all be expelled so that they can continue to be ‘multi supportive.’ PF needs to tighten up in Loyalty to the Party. They openly declared their hate for the party…

    • Its not up to you to determine who will be appointed or disappointed and its not about pleasing yu … loser. Lungu is doing this mind you not in isolation as yu would love

  40. @Democracy
    Your HH will never be a president if he is surrounded by such shallow tribalists like you.I don’t know why u think like a crzy chap.Learn from bembas how to live.They have demonstrated that they are above a tribe.Sata came from northern but the same bembas u’re preaching against in southern province rose and faught mile sampa that tefya family.Today u’re saying chase all bembas!!!Ooppps i’ve never seen such hatred .U scare all pipo to vote for you because your hatred is to defeat bembas who are not even running the country.Lungu is very clever and is one of bembas if u don’t know but he wants to unite Zed.He’ll work with all tribes but will be careful coz reports are there that some pipo from one political party are tribalists.They’ll never rule Zambia until they change…

    • I agree with u my bro/sis, these Tribalists are just mad they won’t stop at anything but they have lost already lost and always lose. The tribalism they propagate at ZWD has not worked and will not work.

      Bembas love people, they are social people and are not scared to associating with anyone

  41. We really appreciate the turn of events, its about time the president cleans the government, bravo . But please dont forget to bring on board people you can trust such as Hon Given Lubinda, he needs to be back in cabinet.
    TC

    • Musa Mwenye disappointed many many many Zambians. Musa never forget your betrayal of the Constitution as you made someone who is not eligible to act as President occupy the seat.

      Marabishi….zwa….zwa

      EL, I salute you.

    • @Bodman, so for you Mulenga Sata is Bemba despite being born from a Bisa Father and Malawian (Chewa or Tumbuka) mother! Even if I am not Bemba now I can see that the perpetrators of the evil tribalism start it and when it boomerangs they cry the loudest! Where can Lungu remove Mulenga Sata from as an elected Mayor of Lusaka? Was he appointed and by who?Your hatred is so clear and will not get anywhere since you seem not understand the powers of a President versus elected office bearers! For you what counts is tribe,tribe,tribe at all costs! Lungu is wise and he knows what can win him votes and what not in this short period of time!

  44. Please Mulenga sata and Lungu are brothers if u don’t know.Tongas really need to change if u want HH to rule Zambia.People fail to understand u.Bembas have never campaigned against tongas but in Southern iweee kuti walila.Please let us change bane.Pleeeeeseee it’s One Zambia One Nation

    • @ Moscow (OP) your brain would be nice to drive through 6 bullets….and your body dumped in nearby river 6 km from scene, or just cut in 6 pieces for dogs to feed..

  45. I might have been wrong about this vodga Lungu after all.. Vodga also look at RDA there is alot of wrong things happening there. We apply for contracts but same people win especially from same known tribe

  47. Nsanda is going, ECL never used stolen money, Nsanda ended up having prostate isues when ECL refused his money, RDA will be clean starting next week. Please do not worry his excellency is a humble man not that he is weak, people will be shocked who will be in and out. All those fat faces you were seeing campaigning with will be out. ECL knows how they got fat, we want slim but health just like my president.

  49. What benefit do you get from these presidential appointments? After three years you are removed? Just be a businessman and be your own boss. It is time people learnt to depend on their own business skills instead of being at the mercy of a politician.

  51. Bembas thought Lungu was theirs! Wait and see. Lungu might just be one of the best presidents Zambia has ever had. He will dismantle the bemba hegemony and by the time the Bemba triabilists realise what had hit them, bemba will only be spoken in the streets of northern province and muchinga, Lungu is going for tribal balancing which the bembas didnt wants, Elo lwanya

    • To yu he is only best when he gets rid of Bembas, u so shallow. For yo infor he went get rid of them, he has already appointed Mwila, Kalaba, Chikwanda Kasonde oh the list is endless lo!!!!!!!

  52. People, this is irritating now. All the time Tonga, HH and Southern. You must ask yourselves why the people you are attacking are quite so far. You, there is a saying that what you say is who you are..We must stop talking about these people. These people if you don’t know do not care and leave in opposition for ever..

    • They are the ones who are incesed with talking about about other tribes, even if the topic is something else, they are like rabid dogs who can’t focus on anthing else

  54. Mr President thanks for the assurance that you will also dismantle the tribal clique! They accuse tongas of being tribal and yet they are the ones who voted with hatred for tongas in their hearts. Terrible pipo! Now that the power base has shifted to eastern and western provinces and these tribalists are no longer in the inner cycle, even this tribalism perpetuated by northerners will end. Welcome to a better Zambia!

    • They can have those they can trust to work with not u who are filled with hatrade which is dangerous like poison. You are killers you are the ones who poisoned MCS. Don,t poison ECL , infact I must tell the President that he must be careful with yo type working in State House, u are dangerours. Yo hatred is equal to witchcraft but am sure by now the Intelligency have already done so

  55. I wish a tribunal could be set for the Ministry of Lands to sort out the mess once and for all! Too much land grabbing and corruption.

    Let ZDA revert to its original home.

  56. ISO you are right, ECL is on track, bembas wanted to dribble him by hand picking someone they would anoint like they did to Levy, this didn’t this time around. The bemba clan might as well get on the streets as you have just stated they can not be trusted ECL knows that. They anointed Kabimba, it failed now they have formed Rainbow through him and this won’t work. It is either ECL makes it by dismantling them and build Zammbia as it was supposed to be or HH takes over. I would love to see ECL sideline Nsanda, Mwamba. Chuungu, Chama and all those bembas. I am sure they didn’t see this coming, ECL is in power and has the power, this Mambilima Chibesakunda can also be replaced, if this can be done, ECL will be the best Presido Zambia has ever had, get all of them in strategic positions

  57. Mwanza, how does Lungu become bemba? Lungu,,,, if you say Obama is white no, his African America, yes the mom is white. Lungu is not bemba, Lungu is trying to unite, of-course us bembas are trying to comfort ourselves that he has bemba blood in him, check his last name. Face it by 2016, bembas will be the minority and the country shall prosper under ECL. We thought we would rule forever, done. Miles, Chikwanda, Kabwili, sichinga all non presidential, maybe 2046

  58. The firing of Musa Mwenye should be viewed by all well-meaning Zambian as a positive actions, which is good for the nation. You are all aware on how Musa Mwenye misled the whole nation in believing that it was legally correct for Edgar Lungu now our Republican President to handover instruments of power to Dr Scort. Imagine what would have happened had President Edgar Lungu resisted to hand over power. This man would have led this country into civil-unrest, as you all know the mood in the county at the time it was extremely charged. So this man would have led to a lot of dying as a result of his being overzealous and just wanting to satisfy his ego.
    In fact this matter should not end at just being fired. The legal mind should help to find which law of the country should be used on this…

    • Very true indeed. This was not the first time we were having a transition caused by the death of a sitting President. Why couldn’t Musa consult government lawyers who saw the smooth transition of power previously. The guy is too full of himself. He even lied that Mpombo was acting President when Mwanawasa died, and as legal advisor he expected to get away with such cheap lies?

    • Musa abetted a treasonable crime. Not preempting any action. It is something to do with dual nationality and ganging up of M’membe, Mahtani, Matibini, Nchito, Musa, Maureen, Guy Scott and Hakainde to finish PF off. There are billions at stake.

  61. The name General David Muma rings a bell; it has something to do with the just ended bye-election but I can’t lay my fingers on it. Has he now been rewarded for whatever his roll was in the recent elections? Just wondering. As for Mwenye, well-deserved sack even though he was right on Gut Scot because Sata never handed over power to Lungu, Sata was evacuated in a vegetative state and could not have signed any powers away to Lungu as he was not aware of what was happening. So Lungu acquired the instruments of power illegally.

  63. OUR ORG IS DELIGHTED WITH THE MOVE. WE CLEARLY REMENBER THE DAY THEY TEAMED UP WITH THE CARTEL TO OPPOSE U WHO WAS ACTING PRESIDENT TO CONTINUE ACTING.
    WATCH DOG HAD REPORTED THAT THIS MUSA MWEMYE THING CAME TO IMPOSE THE GUY SCOTT THING WITH THE POLICE. WHOEVER THAT POLICE THING WAS MUST BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY.
    THIS ORG HAS NOT HIDDEN THE DISLIKE FOR THIS GUY SCOTT THING FOR ATTEMPTING TO AUCTION THE CHERISHED PF PARTY AT THE CARTEL STOCK EXCHANGE WITH MILES SAMPA BEING THE THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
    THE CARTEL IS CRACKING NOW WITH THE WITH DRAW OF NOMINATION FOR MP SHIP OF A THE CHIEF POLITICIAN OF THE BELLY MUKOMBWE WITH HIS (IF CALLED UPON) PLEADING THEORY.

  64. Musa Mwenye, Go back to private practice. You did your job well by being professional and following the law/constitution. Go Well. My gut feeling is that this euphoria will be short lived and you will be glad not to be part of the mess that will soon to manifest itself! I mean in a matter of months!

  66. If it is proved that Musa Myenye’s action is treasonable, can someone please commence the legal proceeding with immediate effect on this man. I say so because this man would have made this country ungovernable had it not be for Mr Edga Lungu to act in a mature manner at the time.
    Also I am asking LAZ to commerce disciplinary action against Musa Mwenya for conducting himself in unprofessional manner.

  67. We will give you some slack mr president. Sort them out. How could he threaten you with treason? who does he think he is? Drop Mutembo Nchito and Mumba Malila as well.

  68. @Eddy
    Edgar will be loved by many some of us smelled his humility a mile away! So far so good, all the moles in the shoe must be removed. Next we want our DBZ money from that failed airline project. Faka speed Chagwa Lungu!
    …
    …
    From the archives:
    …
    …
    If UPND loses I will resign,we all know who said this AND we are waiting!

  69. I am suprised at this Bemba tribal talk or “sorting out”. The race was between Lungu a Chewa and HH a Tonga! Mutati & GBM; who are Bembas supported HH whilst RB and Dora supported EL. Nevers Mumba (198 votes) a Bemba contestant lost in his own Chinsali district (HH381 votes) ! Further, Musa Mwenye is Soli/Sala. He is being accussed to be part of the cartel but has the cartel of Mmembe, Nchito & Mhathani got a “Bemba” agenda or a DBZ agenda? HH backed out the UPND/PF Pact on his own accord otherwise he would have been in EL’s (shoes) President today. Who’s fault is it? Bemba’s. Fellow bloggers get a life and move on. Eeish! If not go & join politics & make the difference u desire. Period!

  70. My message to President Lungu is that Secretary to the Cabinet – Roland Msiska must be dropped. If this advice is not taken he is the man who will make PF lose elections in 2016. He is not an administrator but a physician who has made the operation of the Civil Service wholly ineffectual. A lot of work which used to be carried out by Civil Servants is not being done because of abolition of Committees by Msiska just to prevent a Civil Servant from getting even a K50 meal allowance

    • I think one of the problems as I get it from these Tribalists is that they are made to speak Bemba at his work place. Honestly who forces you to do that, just speak yo Tonga man, don’t be intimidated by those speaking Icibemba

  73. Some Zambians – easily swayed again. Lungu relieves Musa Mwenye of his position and they start ‘ululating’ Lungu – ati ‘ muntu sana’. In any case, I did not see anything wrong that the AG did. The Vice-President acts as President for three months when the sitting President dies. End of story. Lungu hasn’t started working yet. If ever he will. He is just going through the motions. Some of which may already be questionable.
