Mmmmmmm ” late president Rupiah Banda” ba LT be serious
he never quit but was relieved
Ika kunyokola njala yai kulemba news.awuso na nyoko niye echifwa ala bati/uyu mwana alupuse.
LT, when you write the orbituary of the “late” President of all Zambians, don’t forget to mention that he led Zambia through a turbulent world economy without Zambians feeling it.
I interacted with Dr Chembe whilst he was the economic adviser to president rupiah Banda. I found him to be articulate in his subject matter. He was consise and intelligent. I wish him full recovery so that he can still contribute to the field he loves so much.
Get well soon Kumendo

The whole story is jumbled! Ati ‘Late President, Lupiya Bwezani Banda’ Ati he board of Directors’
And they call themselves journalist. Don’t forget such news you write, other countries to read this you are painting a bad picture to our mother ZAMBIA as if we can’t write better. Please learn to proof read your article before you can finally post it. This is why you don’t get any awards for your jobs. Journalism is such a professional career, get serous. Now a friend of my who likes Zambian news because he lived in Zambia for so many years before coming back to the USA is already asking me when president Banda died.
Wishing Dr Chembe a full recovery, ba LT please have we had that many late Presidents you have lost count. Please proof read.
