Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo says Ministers serving in the PF administration are merely going on leave as Cabinet is set to dissolve next month.
Mr Lusambo who is also Kabushi Member of Parliament said Ministers will go on a brief three month break and will come back after the elections.
He said the Ministers will use the campaign period to explain to the Zambians how the PF government has transformed the country.
Mr Lusambo was speaking when he officially opened the Provincial Development Coordinating Committee (PDDC) virtual meeting in Lusaka on Friday.
Me Lusambo has also advised the various technocrats across the civil service in Zambia to stay away from engaging themselves in the active politics of the nation.
He stated that civil servants are mandated by law to support the government of the day in delivering effective and efficient services to the nation and its people.
“Your job as technocrats in the civil service is to support the government in power. I, therefore, urge you to stay away from active politics and concentrate on serving the Zambian people in your various capacities in a professional manner,” Mr. Lusambo said.
Mr Lusambo said technocrats should stick to their lane by providing non-partisan service to the Zambian people and let the politicians engage in issues that are of active political nature.
He stated that the PF Government under the leadership of President Lungu had demonstrated commitment to uplift the welfare of the Zambian people without leaving anyone behind.
Mr Lusambo highlighted the aspect of infrastructure development in the sectors of health, education, roads, water and sanitation and the social protection programs among other interventions which government was implementing to improve people’s livelihoods.
Arrogance at its best, you are not the ones who will decide who comes back to run government and the country at large, the Zambian people will. PF think they can never be removed the government at the ballot. This year there is a silent wind of change, the youths have seen how they have been neglected by this government and they have registered in large numbers. When it comes to development, PF only talks about infrastructure project which have been used to steal money by inflating costs. People up and down the country are walloping poverty when they are enriching themselves at the expense of the ordinary Zambia. Mark my words there will be no PF government after 12 August 2021. That will be the end of PF, they will be infighting to take over leadership, even bena Lusambo and Davies…
Hopefully after dissolution most of you won’t come back you’re the worst performing cabinet Zambia has ever had.
Look at this moron he thinks he is in a movie..this is what happens in kakistocracy when you place least suitable citizens like this former door bouncers/ muscle for hire in high profile public offices and elect a useless President as Edgar Lungu. What he is talking about is standard procedure and its not leave…he has no understand of the constitution. Can you imagine being in a meeting for two hours with a nincompoop like Bowman Lusambo? I truly feel for the civil servants who work with him.
You’ll all be gone on permanent leave ,the heavy Zambian debt + poor GDP made that recommendation.
Small fries Lusambo should just be quiet otherwise we will ask him to show us his grade 9 certificate. Upto now, he has failed to show us his grade 12 certificate.
All that bootlicking and he did not make MCC.
Zambians by now realise it was a grave error to elect ECL and PF into Power. On August 12 Zambians have a golden opportunity to vote out PF Leadership and it’s thugs.It will be another huge mistake to give ECL and PF another 5 years to terrorise the People,ruin the Economy and their lives further. Bringing ECL and PF back in Power is as good as committing economic and Financial suicide for the People of Zambia. On August 12 let’s send ECL ,PF and their thugs “ku wire”. Zambians will suffer if these Corrupt thugs retain Power. The writing is on the wall.
IndigoTyrol – Bowman may be stupid but he is no foooool …trust me he has a certificate he is the type who was noisy in class at boarding but burning candles at night in the classroom.
BOWMAN IS A F000L fullstop TOO CLEVER BY HALF
GETTING TOP GRADES AT SCHOOL IS JUST ON PAPER.
BETTER WAY OF PUTTING IT HE’S A PARROT
This id1ot, Lusambo, has sunglasses on inside a building. Talking about how “they will be back.” He thinks he is terminator? He doesn’t know that him and his fellow corrupt bandits are going to prison upon losing the election?
The Voters will have a final say in whether u come back or not. Given ECL’s Performance Record and the State of the Economy Right thinking Zambians will send u “ku wire” on August 12. It will be a grave error to vote for ECL and PF becoz that will mean more suffering. We have seen how PF has persecuted the People ranging from burning of the markets,gassing the People,invading and beating Policemen on duty at Police Stations,threatening Judges,Lawyers, killing of Nsama Nsama and Joseph Kaunda, harassing of Civil Servants etc. A return of these Dictators and their thugs back in Power will spell doom for Zambians. The writing is on the wall.
Tikki – You said the same about GBM only for him to turn up with full papers …you think if Bowman didnt have a certificate he would be making noise. ..and having a certificate is not about have top Grades its merely achieving minimum pass in 6 subjects plus Bowman went to a Technical School.
I wish these crooks and thugs would be bannished from Govt all together. These Corrupt thugs have no Capacity and Competencies to run a Govt let alone to manage an Economy. The ECL PF Govt has been a disaster and has destroyed the Economy and ruined People’s lives. On August 12 Zambians should vote wisely and put these Crooks and thugs “ku wire”. PF should be kicked out of Power. Failure to do so will ruin Zambia for a long time.
Kuyabebele
Uwafitala akaimwena says HH.Utupuba tuletalika says ECL
.Upnd in its current form can’t win a general election,as at now upnd is a B.I.D.Let us wait and see.
TARINO IM NOT TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD HIS GRADES OR WHETHER HE HAS A VARSITY DEGREE THESE BITS OF PAPER DONT MAKE YOU SAVVY IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD.. BEING INTELLEGENT DEFINITELY DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE COMMON SENSE !!!!!!
THOT YOU WOULD HAVE GRASPED THAT ??????
Sure boss, but is that “leave” paid or unpaid?
Also, Zambia still has business to conduct. Maybe now we’ll see the civil servants do a better job without the so-called “hon” ministers in the way? Can’t we just pay them to stay on leave…?
This chap is right no matter who wins. He has a habit of jumping parties so he will jump onto whoever will win.
Is he lying, when it is a fact that pf is winning?
why did our caring persident get his vaccine well before the people of zambia is he more important than us ?
is he infact not a servant of the people he governs ??
Indeed we will be back, wheather you like it or not. Zambia has developed so much under the leadership of His Excellence Edger Chagwa Lungu.
Say what you can about Lusambo, but this guys is a survivor. Lusambo may have his faults, and they are many, but this guy has the potential to be MP for Kabushi for life!
Other parties need to forget about scooping that seat from Bowman.
Even there was ever a nuclear holocaust, cockroaches, rats and Bowman Lusambo would survive.
You people I am in kafue right now after a successful party mobilization program. I am very drunk and the night is only starting. If you know me.support pf them come and say hello to me the most handsome man in Zambia. I will buy you a drink. There are lots of hules here. Upnd members your wives are here

Lusambo ,other PF Leaders and their Cadres are now very arrogant and rude. PF failed to fulfill promises made in 2016. No money in the pocket, no jobs 4 the Youths and no happiness among Zambians. Prices of Goods and Services have skyrocketed, the Economy is in a mess and People are ssuffering while PF Leaders and their Cadres are swimming in luxury. On August 12 voters must send ECL and PF packing otherwise Zambia will be destroyed completely.
I would have said, he is an arrogant so and so, because how can you take the electorate for granted? but knowing most Zambians, he is right.
Good luck to you guys, enjoy your break, come back and keep these foolish Zambians in perpetual unemployment, unaffordable food and amenities and let them keep dancing for you as you abuse them evermore.
King of corruption
Zambia in ICU, politically & economically.
Only Bowman has more money in his pockets.
Chimbokaila is waiting for you on the other side, if i were you i would begin preparation to train my body for the conditions there.
Mwisho you are on point.
Some of these comments make me laugh. You people have you forgotten that now it is not the people who vote who decide the leadership of the country but people who count the votes? Unless it will be a free and fair election but I seriously doubt it will be so……….
God forbid that some leaders come back after August 12.
The only way to ensure this crop of leaders are remove from power is to Educate the poor masses who do not understand how suffering is affecting them or how sufferring will continue to affect them if they return such leaders back in government.
The suffering masses especially women and youths need to know what effects or implications that cause the economy to be so hard in a country
They need to ask them selves How the economy is performing? What’s the exchange rate of our local currency today? how is the Job market? are people getting employed even after completing the colleges or university studies?How are farmers doing? are they receiving there inputs on time? are they being paid on time?is the price of mealie meal and other food stuffs low? is there enough food for all ? How…
I can foresee a very long leave with termination letter following you up wherever you will be on 12th August,2021.
Ba kawalala, na leakage ya 2021 election already out so? The cheek and arrogance of these chaps. One day…Chikamoneka anso.
