The Patriotic Front on the Copperbelt has welcomed the deferment of the tariff review application by power utility company Zesco to the Energy Regulations Board.
Provincial Chairperson Nathan Chanda says the gesture by President Lungu to direct the Ministry of Energy to defer the application is a clear indication that the Head of State puts the interest of the people first.
“This is what it means to have a listening Leadership”, Mr. Chanda said.
On Friday last week, Energy Minister Mathew Nkhuwa announced that President Lungu had directed him to suspend the tariff increment.
Mr. Chanda said the PF leadership on the Copperbelt is happy that President Lungu has listened to the concerns raised by various stakeholders and members of the public.
He said in a statement that the increase in electricity tariffs in the mines could have caused a lot of panic.
Mr. Chanda has since challenged the Zambia Chamber of Mines to state their position over this directive because they had complained over the pending increase in power tariffs.
He has also challenged Miller’s who got maize from Food Reserve Agency FRA to reciprocate this gesture and find ways of also reducing the Price’s of mealie meal because it would have been a further cost on their production had the power tariffs been increased.
Mr. Chanda has alleged that some millers maybe working with the opposition to make the PF unpopular among the Zambian people.
You create a problem, then you resolve and make a hero out of yourself. Very interesting.
Imagine
The foooools welcome kicking the can down the road instead of restructuring Zesco
Once Hitler, came to one meeting with a live chicken. He started to pluck its feathers jone by one off.
The chicken quacked in pain, blood oozing from its pores. It gave out heartbreaking cries but Hitler continued without remorse plucking feather after feather until the chicken was completely naked. After that, he threw the chicken on the ground and from his pockets, took out some chicken feed and started to throw it at the poor creature. It started eating and as he walked away, the chicken followed him and sat at his feet feeding from his hand.
Hitler then told members of his party “This chicken represents the people, you must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up and leave them. If you do this and then give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate…

Mutale, I like your research.
This is exactly PF is doing to Zambians
So if the Ba Lungu had given the directive that the tarrifs should be increased,Nathan Chanda was still going to support the move,these guys behave as if they do not have brains,with such kind of leadership at the helm,Zambia will not develop,B Zambia where did we go wrong to end up with such mediocre leadership kanshi???
Yaba, this is indeed mediority. I am no fan of Chimbwili but now I understand it why he thought of that little boy in a not so complimentary way!!
Even Bowman that dunderhead die hard cadre, said as much about the leadership in the Copperbelt PF. Totally ignorant of issues, then he parades himself in public!!
The only thing that can be worse than this cadre is a trib.al.
….is that the best that the President can assemble around him? Or perhaps PF has no best to choose from?
Comment: Your left hand creates a problem and your right hand resolves it,then you claim you are a hero,and Nathan Chanda of all people is celebrating his master’s heroic achievement. great no wonder the economy is nose diving.
Zesco has been a beneficiary of Euro bonds whose repayments mean squeezing the last blood drop of the poor citizens, yet no significant financial management skills and prudence is seen, except mismanagement and misapplication. And now you have ignorant cadres singing praise over a self made problem appearing to be temporarily halted and before you know it the masquerades will succumb and squeeze the citizens even further. Wonders indeed shall never end in this country!
