We are a progressive party and government. No other government achieved this. A very hard working government indeed. Ah I love pf and his excellency. Kz
Wasn’t a centre for such analysis already approved and commissioned some years back or did I miss something?
I remember this was mentioned a while back during Michael Sata’s time as commissioned .Unless these scam bags diverted the money meant for the project and build mansions on forest 26 or 27 this project should have been considered as done .Anything is possible with this clueless government packed with dim wits like KZ
They actually even recruited science graduates in the police force for this purpose. There’s nothing novel here.
The first one they should DNA is Dora herself, they will discover she is half mbeba half muntu.
This is the technology we are going to use on all PF thieves including your self Siliya and your corrupt fellow leaders in PF including your president
HH in trouble!
