We would like to doff off our hats and applaud Sesheke Member of Parliament, Romeo Kangombe for his candidness and forthrightness. He has shared something that exactly resonates with what we had tackled a couple of days ago regarding what’s obtaining ‘pa ground.’
He wrote the following on his Facebook page, “We need to help the President if we love him. Those that speak the truth in any case are the true Lieutenants. We will speak until you sit up and do the rightful thing. Leave those offices and jump on busses, you will go back home stressed.”
We’d like to appeal to our cabinet ministers and indeed MPs from the ruling party to heed Kangombe’s timely advice. Hop on a bus to Kalingalinga and check on the creative welders plying their trade there…..take a ride to Matero to grab your favourite steak….get on a bus to Kabangwe during peak hours….visit the hair dressers in Chibolya…..engage the marketeers at Soweto market….interact with the street vendors trying to sale cheap Chinese wares….We know it’s the job of a politician to talk. However, we’d advise to remain mute and eavesdrop on the conversations of those you encounter and take an inventory.
Once you get back to your offices, do not sugarcoat anything…..compile reports which will help the President prepare a distinct THINGS TO DO LIST
Time is of the essence; do not wait for the last minute imwe ma bwana!

Not too sure what Bo Kaping’a is really trying to say here! But, to borrow from DRC’s Joseph Kabila, a prezdo can be a problem and/or a solution…
He is a great bootlicker so you can only conclude that he is very impressed by that man kneeling before HH. We stopped doing that in 1864!
I read somewhere where this young a MP is telling off some GRZ official to leave alone those who are buying fuel from Malawi where it’s costing less than half the price we are paying per liter. He was so frank to the extent of telling his party fellow members to stop misleading the president. What a great man
OMG as if these informal sectors have not been operating the in this manner for years,
So what is new ???
Sometimes it’s better to zip it !!!
Romeo Kang’ombe is the presidential candidate UPND requires for the 2026 elections if they have to get even 20% of the votes, the incumbent stands completely no chance. And they stand the chance if it is done now, look at how Biden delayed to give way to Kamala Harris and costing them the vote. Kang’ombe is forthright, he does not lie, what a contrast and a sigh of fresh air
Yes unlike Musokotwane who was telling lies in Parliament: one breath he claims that the PF government was not paying fuel suppliers that is why fuel was cheap but as he continues his memory fails so much that he says the fuel was cheap in PF because it was subsidized. Upnd are using that money to support free education instead…. there other lies..
He is only saying that because he wasn’t given any ministerial post. Do you think he would have said so if he was enjoying life as a minister?
Why is the fuel reviewed every month? We cried that it be done biyearly or quarterly for citizenry proper planning. But our leaders either lost their hearing or they are outrightly stubborn. Whatever the case, we know inexpensive fuel is achievable next year after fiddling with fuel chain supply and logistics.
@Razor, you are very right. It’s the same as the author here Auntie Bill, this one would have kept quiet if she had some appointment somewhere. She is only speaking because she has been sidelined and she thought she would be heavily rewarded. She is apparently related to Gary Nkombo by way of marriage and has been calling ministers for favours but zero.
Now, Kang’ombe is well aware that the fortunes of the UPND are down and elections are next year so he is at least trying to pander to the gallery now.
Imwe please, let us help UPND leave power in 2026 , they are clearly clue less and already tired. Their broken record of free education is not making any economic sense at all. Look at the Kabwe fiasco where they had to force people to go and listen to another hollow Presidential speech.
I hope you have watched Elvis Nkandu being interviewed on TV? My God even me can explain better the status of economy and the country as whole. And these are the people Mr Hakainde Hichilema has surrounded himself with. What a disaster. And Dr Musokotwane you can tell by body language that he doesn’t care anymore… it’s like he wants 2026 to come today so that he can take a rest.
