President Hakainde Hichilema says every citizen should take responsibility to clean the environment.
President Hichilema says cleaning the Central Business District (CBD) should not be left to the city council but everyone that trades in the area.
He says the Government is promoting a clean and green Zambia which results in a health and safe citizenry.
The head of state was speaking when he led a team of Government officials and defense chiefs in a cleaning exercise in Lusaka’s CBD.
And President Hichilema has also appealed to Zambians to emulate the legacy of First President Kenneth Kaunda as they celebrate KK’s day that falls today.
He noted that he is a beneficiary of the free education initiative by the late Dr Kaunda, which is why it was one of the first policies he brought in when he assume office.
President Hichilema also added that he has the interest of street vendors at heart which is why his administration will never victimize them.
He also disclosed that his unpaid salary since assuming office will be channeled towards the underprivileged in society.
Edgar was doing this type of cleaning. This is not new. It’s good Hakainde has seen sense in what His excellence Chagwa was doing.
Hakainde, your administration hasn’t got a heart for Zambians. What Garry did to that woman is still fresh.
All ministers need to be on the ground and mps to get their hands dirty from time to time.
They should do it more often.
ECL THIS AND ECL THAT
BUT NO MENTION OF THE STATE OF THE NATION HE LEFT US
HOW CONVIENIENT

Problems of keeping the streets clean shouldn’t exist in the first place. Today we have gone out to clean the streets, tomorrow people start throwing rubbish everywhere, drains get blocked and the city accumulates rubbish everywhere.
People start complaining and asking government and the city councils to please help in keeping the streets clean.
I don’t know how we fail at collective responsibility for straightforward things. Not everything is the government’s fault.
Your government is full of dirty corrupt ministers who force people to drink kachaso. Start by cleaning up the mess in your own house.
Tarino I have told you time and again i will continue moderating you until you learn to post sense here. Lusakatimes as I told you continue hammering them
People need to be taught about caring for their environment, including waiste disposal………..
The easiest way is to do it at primary education………..
90 % of the people throwing rubbish discriminatly have been to primary school but have not been taught to care for their surroundings…………
Stup!d KZ is mentioning corrupt ministers in the current government. You got short memory! Already forgotten about that totally incompetent and thieving Edgar China Lungu and his rid!culous band of cronies? Who left the country in tatters and the coffers empty? Oh yes, you were part of that laughable gang!
It’s not about cleaning the streets…it’s about Zambians being responsible and not throwing trash everywhere…littering is a big problem among our communities…otherwise tomorrow it will start piling up again
I thought when one is working they are supposed to put on a work suit! Where have you been the past seven months! Hypocrisy and lies…. We the people of Zambia have said no to Africom….
Good example Mr President.Let all ministers
Follow your pattern.
Zambians let’s say no to Africon…what is so special about America! We have a lot of countries like China, Japan, Russia, India etc that have been helping is nation… therefore it is wise that we don’t injure them just America helped you it doesn’t mean that you accept everything…As a nation do we have a military base in America! There is an embassy already is that not enough! AU, SADAC have rejected such, well documented…This man reminds me of Judas Iscariot
Just go and clean State House and move there to save costs.
So when will this nonsense of shoveling sh!t stop? Does it mean when you declare a holiday you have to go clean after grown ups and their families? Start implementing bylaws a mambala. Na iwe citeci you are supposed to be raising the bar, not shoveling things in public.
Lcc should invest in educating marketeers and street vendors on the importance of keeping the environment clean because its mostly from this grouping that our streets end up with litters urine and feaces.
For ordinary citizens to start cleaning local council managed areas, is an admission in it’s self that our local government has failed
