They commissioned the water project on behave of ECL. Good work by the previous government.
Tu upnd don’t get credit…you have not started any project.. Those are projects start by the patriotic front government.. Former President Edgar Lungu worked..
Another of the many PF led projects. As usual, no mention except the usual song of they did nothing. Hypocrites indeed.
Dullards’ on song. Mongu Tapo (Kalabo) road, Kazungula bridge Kafue gorge lower hydro electric projet and many others, all MMD projects but claimed and commissioned by pf.
Well done UPND
If one has nothing to say it better to keep quiet. How can you thank someone just for commissioning a project? Infact even the PF that put up that project don’t deserve any thanks or praises. They were elected to do the job and were getting paid salaries and the money used didn’t come from a private pocket. If I were Nalumango I tell this official that he should stop sugarcoating.
@John Chinena @Kenneth Kaunda. These projects are being done by GRZ. Government doesn’t work the way you were trained by Dr Slick Banda. I have been following debates in Parliament and I have noted how government has been censured by a simple reference to the previous government
