Typical Lungu!!!! Closed door meetings, as if there is an sensible things going to come out apart from political violence and brown envelope, waste of time!!!!!
Closed door meetings for a third world nation makes no sense, these are a preserve for the first world, they will talking about space tech, nuclear tech,submarines and stealth bomber tech, what’s there to close doors about poverty in misisi,kuku,mandevu etc?
This is the thing ichilema dreams of, desperately: the paramount chief escorting you! Niyamene ka!! He loses 10 times for that dream
Wait for the comment from Jay Gay, he is hallucinating on the report and replacing “President Lungu” with “Tribal Hacks” in his mind. When he comes to his senses he will comment but twist the report to that Lungu is lazying about at Limulunga.
My trib.al boy Jay Gay, presidential functions are complex, too complex for you and your tribal Hacks to comprehend. Have you ever wondered why trib.al Hacks will never be President of Zambia? To simpletons, arrogant trib.alists, glory seekers, jealous people etc, God cannot give power to destroy their own country.
But he has given us lungu to destroy it
#1, is that Jay Gay or just another upnd trib.alist?
Where is Bonehead Mushota this morning, sleeping late!!!
PHD, my foot!!!
Why do pf cadres become so hysterical at the site of by elections, just the frenzy surrounding the two by elections as result of the deaths of two upnd mps, they are so overwrought such that their excitement can be heard as far as the space stations.
This HEALTH minister instead of attending a funeral for the late MP, he goes somewhere
The funeral was hijacked by the tripartite bantustan party adif they ate the ones who took him to SA for specialized treatment! Shame morons and its moronic leadership!!
That is a UPND strong hold
Why suddenly passing through each part of the country that Harry Kalaba has been passing through for various meeting?? There is something Kalaba is doing right
Ati … Presidential functions. This man is a populist without a clue. He thinks walking with the Litunga and being seen to ‘mingle’ in Western Province indicates working for the country in general. He is typically trying to hoodwink the people in the province – his endeavour is not development for the country (which he has no clue of) but politicking – he thinks gaining as many ward seats, parliamentary seats etc. for the PF is a measure of success. It’s what you do with that advantage that is important – because, then, you have to have a plan for getting the country out of the misery and poverty being experienced by many. Indications thus far with this regime, show there has not been any meaningful plan – apart from political gain and expediency.
