Didnt he promise the same during the bye elections of the deceased MP, he should now be accounting for what has been done out of the empty promises he made during that bye election.

You mean the entire president had to go and campaign for a council chairperson? Bane kwena awe elo Zambia ipwile. Why not send the provincial minister only? It is costly to the state, ma per diem, security, plus plus..mama neo!
PF: People Foolish
Each time he lands in an area for campaigns, he is fond of fresh monotonous lies like those given to blind Chilubi people. He had failed to do that in four years. Kwena ubufi tabwa kwata mwine.
ECL is just hallucinating and as usual the pipo of Chilubi will be sold on his lies.
Post yakwa council chairman yachepa sana eyo mwa ona wilapo benzine
This is the welcome announcement. Good roads are key to the growth and development of the region. Involvement of ZNS in road building projects in Chilubi will definitely help the people and economy in the region. President Lungu is known for his promises!!! Several developments have happened after Lungu became our leader.
In 2016 Mr. Lungu commissioned the Mongu-Kalabo road, and still today it’s maintained in very good condition. Major construction has happened in my Lusaka that has turned the city beautifully…plus it saved a lot of time and energy in travelling.
Brace yourself Chilubi district people soon your district will get a makeover. Trust me this is going to happen for sure. Better connectivity, broad roads, you are going to love your district even more!!!
The government has already started work on 126 km long Luwingu – Nsombo – Chaba Road. This road will not only connect Chibuli mainland with rest of the country, but also open doors for the businesses in the region, especially fish trading. Now the same development will take place across the region.
He has been ‘promising’ since he has been in power. People don’t question that.
