The Republican President Mr Hakainde Hichilema was on the Copperbelt Province for a two working visit and he has since returned to Lusaka after a successful engagement in the province.
He is still promising Mr Promise with zero fulfillment. Where is the channel that his tribesmen Gary Nkombo promised. How many 14hrs have we had in the past three years. We are being ruled by egocentric mad men.
How are all those promises going to be realized without FIRST sorting out loadshedding? Avoidable loadshedding, for that matter.
Speedily ending loadshedding will effectively campaign for you, Your Excellence! Not more promises.
Still promising. You can’t just go and order mining houses to allow illigal miners to access their dumps. Dumps are regulated by law and must meet certain criteria to be established. By a law if a person dies at the dumpsite and it’s established that the miner had allowed access to that person, the miner will be prosecuted in the court of law. Can someone please tell the president…oh you are all afraid of him uh?
I PLEDGE A NEW CREDIBLE PARTY IS TO BE FORMED SOON
ONE WE CAN TRUST AND ONE THAT LISTENS TO ITS VOTERS
