Construction of the $1.2 billion Ndola-Lusaka dual carriageway is a road contract scandal-GBM

1. NO COMMENTS!

   • Kikiki, those who need PhDs to puke on LT will sh*t hardest.

   • ONE THING IS CLEAR HERE – GBM IS NOT AN ENGINEER. HE HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN ANY FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE SAID ROAD. HE MAY BE TALKING FROM WITHOUT.
     ====================================
     EIZ kindly enlighten us on this , not out of malice but sheer professionalism. Are these allegations from one GBM true?
     Professional bodies must not hang in there chewing member subscription moneys as laymen like GBM make wild allegations without a comment. It is indiscipline of the highest order. It is actually sabotage.

   • GBM is a DR.??
     I don’t know what’s worse, that all zambian politicians have PhD, or rooting $1 billion in broad day light.

   • This is not EIZ issue! Let people just do the right thing.

   • Opposition has gone to dogs.

2. NO COMMENTS! But note that it will be 2 lanes on each side meaning if one lane is from lusaka to Ndola is 300km then they are making 300×4 = 1200kms then u can now safely say its $1.2m per km! BOOOOM!!!

   • 2 lanes already exist…..

   • Sickening how some people are trying to justify reckless expenditure and rampant corruption …this is your children’s money they are stealing!!

   • People please open your eyes…what kind of a road is this rail road….we are talking about 1.2 billion dollars not kwacha….these people are stealing right in front of your little eyes. I don’t understand Zambian people and they just sitting quietly…

3. We don’t expect anything else from this bafoon.

   • Show me a highway that has cost that amount?

   • 3.1 Nothing else can come from you.

   • @Ndanje khaki – Not even in Europe where Motorways have reinforced concrete sub-bases do roads cost that amount …remember this is not only grossly overpriced its a loan meaning you will pay will interest.

   • *…payback with interest….

   • Give us your breakdown instead of telling us about Europe.

4. Comment:
   The coward GBM is still vp of upnd? Thought hé had already been delinked and replaced by Nalumango?

5. Dr. has spoken. Now cralify is it dual carriageway from livingstone to solwezi you are referring to? Dr. take your time to condem Ndola Lusaka is too congested. Support good projects.

6. Dr. has spoken. Now cralify is it dual carriageway from livingstone to solwezi you are referring to? Dr. take your time to condem Ndola Lusaka is too congested. Support good projects.

   • Support good projects yes but not stealing in the name of good projects…..

   • Even $600, 000, 000 for a road is too expensive …maybe it will sink in if you count the zeros. This is the problem with stealing because you steal so much you dont know if you are saving or overspending !!

7. opposition means opposing even before you see the design.

   one dangoke can fund this project from his pocket.

   we need votes for north so that pf can rule for 50yrs.

   after 50yrs we a new party to immerge not tribal party

8. Tht is the reason why I didn’t vote for upnd becoz of gbm. This is the same person who got the contract from Zesco to supply logs at a huge money through coruption at yet ths tym he is condemning something everyone will benefit. Please Mr fake Dr we don’t want cheap road. We want somethin expensive tht wil last long. You Mr fake Dr will b the same person tht will blame the government if the road does nt last long becoz its cheap. if you don’t hv any valuable contributions, its better u remain silent becoz you possess big postion in upnd. Don’t b lyk chibwi who Don’t think before before he speak

9. SEE WHO IS TALKING ABOUT CORRUPTION……FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS…GBM IS CORRUPT HIMSELF

   • Surely he can’t be corrupt now that he is in UPND

10. If HH is to win some weak souls,he should not allow dull cadres such as GBM to comment on big projects which many Zambians are excited about.
    Let upnd look at how this lusaka-ndola road and bypass roads are designed.THIS IS A SPLENDID IDEA BY THE PF LEADERSHIP AND IT WILL WIN THEM MANY VOTES IN 2021 IF THIS PROJECT IS DONE!!
    one would understand why GBM is worried here.its because such huge projects if done,push HH further away from plot one!!
    BO GBM PLEASE LET PRESIDENT EDGAR LUNGU’S PF DEVELOP ZAMBIA!!PF HAS DONE A LOT SINCE 2011.if MMD Govnt worked like this,Zambia could have developed a lot.WHO TOLD YOU THAT WE’LL VOTE FOR HH’S UPND SO THAT YOU CAN COME AND REVENGE?FORGET!!

11. Dr Gbm have you become an engineer or you are just dreaming

12. buchilandelande have you seen the design
    opposition at work.please let that project take off as soon as posible.more vote for pf.lungu as shown that he can work.

13. Relax People – it wont be a standard 4 lane road but a middle class with nice artwork designs..if u do not believe me ask Iris!

14. It irks GBM because as a self confessed tenderpreneur he will not be a supplier or subcontractor to the project. He once said “If I eat from corrupt government projects, nomba nindalama sha kwa wiso?”
    And under5 wonders that him and his UPNDonkeys can rule Zambia with such sc.am as running mate. And under5 claims his party shall fight corruption with corrupt people, oh yes UPN.Donkey party can do that in a Donkey world.

15. I just googled for this baffoon Mwamba, who seem to have stolen a doctorate from Matero.”Construct a new 6-lane Interstate highway – about $7 million per mile in rural areas, $11 million or more per mile in urban areas. Mill and resurface a 4-lane road – about $1.25 million per mile. Expand an Interstate Highway from four lanes to six lanes – about $4 million per mile.” These are figures obtaining in the UK and US.

    • You’re wrong and very dull with your wild figures.

    • Larry

      Leave the pricing to road engineers , you think because you know google you know everything ???

16. GBM is 100% right , this is daylight robbery at $3.7m per kilometer …and two lanes are already existing.

17. For a grandson of Mwine Lubemba who is totally more objective than you, muli mbulwa mano. Let the civil, surveyor, mechanical and building engineers do their job. Wainine kamadumbo buruya we. Wabeja.

18. There is nothing special abt the design to warrant such amounts, audits already show that the small stretch of road done along great east was out of budget by 300%.will wait and see how much some one will be worth by 2021 but simple but when you apply simple math it’s roughly. If 1 year = 1.3 million,so in 5 years time = 1.8million × 5 = 9 million. This is just the humble from a humble man.

    • Lungu is worth in the region of 20 to 30 million US.
      He does not even attempt to deny all the corruption allegations against him incase he is forced to account.. ….

      His silence should be taken as an admission of guilt….

19. Highway for money in the pockets.

20. 18.1 Spaka like lilo, naimwe bu UPND.onkey nabu mishupa. Mule bwatabwatafye. Your MPs attended ceremonial opening on Friday but I remember that you vowed that they would never until the “petition” was heard. We tried to pump sense into your head that this was politics but surprisingly we could not locate any head on your shoulders.

21. Is GBM among the PhD holders? When did GBM become a Dr? Or is this to try to fool us into believing that UPND is a party full of the learned and bigwigs of the country?

22. GBM though not an engineer is a business man, he has done way too many projects in this country. if my ignorance is anything to go by he might have even been involved in the construction of roads. that being said i think he has a point here. EIZ kindly enlighten us on how much it would take to do a kilometer and from there lets see how it would cost to do the ndola lusaka road. baring in mind that we have the Kitwe solwezi road still not done.
