All People’s Congress Leader Nason Msoni says the reported failure by the Zambian government to pay allowances to envoys representing the country abroad makes sad reading.
Mr Msoni says what is even perturbing behaviour is that this same government is busy pushing for the reintroduction of Deputy Ministers another super structure requiring resources through the infamous bill 10 and yet it is plainly failing to meet its subsisting financial obligations to those serving the Country in foreign missions.
He said the failure to pay allowances to diplomats is absolutely shameful and extremely embarrassing to the country.
Mr Msoni said this behaviour absolutely stinks and in a way is putting Zambia’s envoys in an awkward and vulnerable position being in foreign Countries thereby rendering them destitute.
“It speaks for itself that this government has miserably failed to manage and ran state affairs looking at the catalogue of failures”, he added.
Mr Msoni has observed that at no time has any previous Zambian government failed to support and supplement the effort of diplomats.
He has denounced this conduct in the strongest term and demand that the envoys be paid all their outstanding allowances in line with their terms and conditions of service.
Mr Msoni said the payment of allowances should not be viewed as a privilege but it is an entitlement and a necessity for them to meet their social and economic obligations saying Zambia should not have destitute diplomats manning foreign missions abroad.
Diplomats can you please tell us if you’re going hungry? We can start donating food to make sure you’re feeding with your families. If its lies Musoni you are doomed. More popcorn
No diplomat has complained and last time I checked you are not a bloody diplomat. So where are you getting this information. I think we need stringent laws to deal with fake news
Msoni is right, Kainyo Zulu is only s silly ignorant former State House whiskey distillery lab technician who is ignorant about diplomats. Besides, 99 % of them are either Bemba or Nyanja, let them sell bakoswe, bakolwe and mukula trees wherever they are, kunya nomba!
There you go with tribal line you 1mb3cile. What worng with few Tongas decampaigning all the normal ones. Drop dead please
Debt servicing…..same for unza and cbu
Not getting paid is normal with pf , life goes on.
And then someone will justify it by saying its global and we are not the only ones going through this. Even loadshedding will come in as a side dish
The President we have in Zambia today, has NEVER managed or run a “successful” establishment / venture, or business that ever thrived.
Evident is ba J0n@ was an attorney / practicing Lawyer & all his peers /contemporaries were living in nice neighborhoods, running successful Law firms, BUT AIK0NA BA J0N.4, he was busy stealing from a vulnerable Widow, drinking Kachasu, & living in a Chimunzi – Komboni.
He also confessed to being visionless, & hence his priorities are back to front, buying an expensive Jet when retirees have not been paid.
WHY ARE WE NOW SURPRISED AT THE NATION FAILING TO THRIVE, BEING IN REVERSE GEAR, WHILST CADRES & P.F OFFICIALS ARE HELPING THEMSELVES TO TAXPAYERS CASH, GETTING WEALTHY & BOASTING ABOUT IT, AS CIVIL SERVANTS REMAIN UNPAID?
Lastly #P.F…
THE PROBLEM WITH KAIZER ZULU THINKS HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHOSE SO KNOWLEDGEABLE AND THINKS ZAMBIAN ARE DULL PEOPLE LIKE HE IS. BOSS, YOU ARE STILL SLEEPING. ZAMBIANS ARE WAY AHEAD OF YOUR THINKING. ON EVERYTHING HE WOULD WANT TO SAY SOMETHING CONTRARY FROM THE TRUTH. PLEASE,TWAPAPATA WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR COMMENTS. TIME AND CHANCE HAPPENS THEM TO ALL. CZ YOURS TIME FOR THE SHADOW TO FOLLOW YOU IS NEAR. EVERYTIME, U HAVE ALWAYS SAID THAT IF UPND WILL WIN ELECTIONS YOU WILL WALK IN YOUR BIRTHDAY SUIT. MY,DEAR YOU WILL FAIL TO DO THAT BECAUSE YOUR SHADOW WILL HAULT U TOGETHER WITH BENE RED LIP. THE LAW WILL MAKE U UNDERSTAND WHAT NATURE IS. BUNKAMPONYA WON’T BE IN YOU AND YOU WILL BE THERE PLEADING FOR MERCY FROM PEOPLE. I HAVE SEEN LEADERS LEAVE STATE HOUSE…

Lastly, #PFKUYABEBELE!
These tuma social media parties and their briefcase presidents talk to much rubbish. No ward representation, councillor or MP-NO HAND IN GOVERNANCE OF THE COUNTRY. Just social media commentators. Shameful, indeed.
Msoni did not make this out of nothing, he picked it from media houses. *****
My sister is a Diplomat and has never told us about not being paid her salary.Delays are normal when it comes to clearance of international transfers .It is not the first time. You dimwits!!!
I will ask this query again… Lets imagine for a minute that you are an employer about to interview some candidates for a job. Remove all the titles of president or opposition leader with 6 people vying for a job. Who would you employ to improve your organisation based on their background… Lets be honest… Candidates are Chishimba Kambwili, Nevers Mumba, Hakainde Hachilema, Harry Kalaba, Alex Mulyokela, Edgar Lungu
They would be tested on the following; Honesty and integrity, Confidence, Inspire Others, Commitment and Passion, Good Communicator.
Decision Making Capabilities, Accountability…
Here would be my Shortlist based on ability– Whats yours?? ECL has no evidence of managing even a kantemba and you expect him to manage a country?
1. Hakainde Hachilema
2.Nevers Mumba

ITS EMBARRASSING THAT DIPLOMATS REPRESENTING ZAMBIA CAN BECOME BEGGARS.. ON TOP OF THE EMBARRASSMENT OF AN INCOMPETENT LEADERSHIP WITH COMPLETELY MISPLACED PRIORITIES..ITS PAINFUL TO WATCH!!
It’s u Nason Msoni who feels embarrassed. To the PF govt and Lubinda Habazoka, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about here.
@mung hak . Do you really know what you want to convey? Kikikikikiki!
The London mission does not even have toilet paper and not sure if it’s ever cleaned.
What about Botswana Mission it look’s like abandoned property.

If there are any diplomats struggling in London, please come to my house in Greenwich, South London, I will be happy to offer you Nshima.
diplomats have free housing with nothing to do. Washington DC diplomats will be the first to tell you that there’s no work, they just sit around browing the internet. Why should they get paid? What is the country representing abroad anyway?
