President Rupiah Banda today visited flood affected areas in Lusaka where he disclosed that K11billion has been set aside to help mitigate the impact of the floods.
President Banda toured Chawama, Msisi, Chibolya and Kanyama compounds and the Independence stadium where over 600 flood victims have been temporally relocated.
He said his idea of visiting flooded areas was meant to get first hand information about the impact of the floods so that government could find ways of mitigating the problem.
President Banda also said government would work with many other stakeholders to find a lasting solution to the problem of floods in the city.
He called on the opposition political parties in the country to come on board to find a lasting solution to the problem of floods.
The President said it was not good for the opposition political parties to politicize problems in the country.
He has since called for unity when it comes to developing the country.
“The opposition must not always oppose. I would like to see Mr. Sata or Mr. Hichilema say what we can do to help these people. We have to work together sometimes instead of cheap politicking.” President Banda said.
He said in China where he was recently, there are many political parties but the country has managed to emerge as an economy to reckon with because of the unity in purpose.
President Banda said Zambia can also do the same for the sake of development.
He also thanked Lusaka District Commissioner, Krista Kalulu, the Lusaka Provincial administration, Zambia Red Cross, the Zambia Army and all those that have devoted their time to assisting the flood victims.
He said he was very touched by the flood situation in the district saying he was open to receive ideas that can help find a lasting solution to the problem.
The President said it would be unrealistic to take people back in their flooded areas hence the need for dialogue to have standing solutions.
He appealed for support from the business community, churches, NGOs and other well-wishers to assist flood victims as they will need assistance in among other things, food and blankets when the floods subside.
ZANIS
Good Evening
I am of the impression that “first hand information” about a situation can only be attained immediately after it has happened. How many days has it been since the floods devastated the areas the president is now visiting?
Anyhow, better late than never. As far as the fate of the poor people of Zambia is concerned, it makes absolutely no difference whether they are saddled with RB, HH or Sata – they always bare the full brunt and their lives never seem to get any better.
Thank you Kateka wamano. Your visit Mr President is timely. While the Opposition Mps in Lsk are failing to explain what they have done with K600M CDF, they have chosen to polticise the impact of the floods. Its sad that these MPS like Given Lubinda who has failed the people of Kabwata for the 10 yrs he has been the MP wants to make political capital on any disastor. This time we shall show him and other failures the way out!!!!
Ba mwine ba RB u r right. let not those cheap politicians be cheating pipo that they can manage,its a blue lie (may blue lie would be an understatement but BLACK DANM LIE by Sata and little boy HH.Shame on u you 2 failed politicians thats y u r about to part ……………………….:d:-?:-?:-?
#1 Good evening, I agree with you only on the fisrt sentence of your Second paragraph.The initial indicators were that the situation would be under control besides, if the President has to get down to each and every obtaining situation, then there would be no need of having DC s, PS s, Ministers, MP s etc. When the situation requires the attention of H.E like whats happening now then he goes on the ground after being briefed by his juniors but because the other Citizens like those in the Opposition like to be political on any development, they will rush like they did and yet they are part and parcel of the leadership interms of MPs and Councillors. We need to work together for our Country.
SATA woooooooooooooohhhhhhh u will NEVER NEVER WIN. HH maybe try to stand as a councillor in Gweembe. maybe u can come out the second last in the election so that u can have a ka little experience. for State House 4GET mwana
you are the one with the resources in the govt..why not sort it out weka..?ala..
A little more unity, maturity and positive mindedness is required on the zambian political scene. We need to move from politics of abuse, innuendo and gimmickry. Leaders should inspire and should have a sense of resposibility. It is not always about “by any means necessary” sometimes leaders have to take decisions that cost them but benefit the people not always willing to fight to the end. Such destructive tendencies as exhibited by some can potentially destroy the nation.It is the wrong seed to be sown in our country and a bad example for the yougsters.
#1 I agree with you about the time it has taken. I however, recall reading about the VP flying over affected areas. What was he doing then? Fact finding as well! If everyone is fact finding, who is doing something?
Finally, as President, does he always have to talk about the opposition? He is president, and his government should have solutions by now.
#1
You do not need the president to always be there instantly you should be questioning what information the MPs or DCs or PSs passed on to him when it first happened. What if they told him its ok we have it under control etc.
and #6
Just because its government it dont mean you should just seat on your a s s and wait for them to sort everything out. keep in mind there are many stakeholders
The man went to China first and gave K3b to Zimbabwe before visiting flood victims in Zambia! If this aint lunacy, I dont know what is.
its annoying to see elders who know how to read and write supporting stupid things just bcoz they love RB.Do u know how many lives have been lost?If u ever told me that zambia had leadership,then i wud tell u that they don’t know their job.We must take every measure which supports the health of our citizen,even if it was one involved.This issue falls under the office of the vice president who infact knew every piece of the impact of these floods.We have well qualified people who could have handled this situation very..including myself since it has been my field of speciality..sad that it had to take this long..lets learn from this and consultance will never kill anybody..
too little too late.nothing impressive here.is this when you know there floods
Too little too late
As usaul reacting to situations when they happen instead of preventing them. Drainage in these compunds is non existent, because houses are being built without any planning. When will we learn kanshi
I agree with you #14.
The comments from #2, 3, 4, 5 are comments meant to agitate those who care about their nation. These hooligans do not even know what Bandas in the darkness of the night and will always support every nonsense that comes from MMD. Banda left Zambia with the floods. Probably Banda couldn’t distinguish the type of floods affecting Zambia. He thanks the MMD officials that have made it difficult for the city to function and he thinks the Lusaka people are not watching his failed misleading leadership. The all purpose for him to ignore these areas is to punish people for having voted for PF and UPND. Surprise, surprise, they will do so again. And this time they will usher in a new and vibrant leadership experienced in solving problems and not creating problems.
RB, welcome back to reality. Your visit is long overdue. You have the resources to give back dignity to these people today. Play your part.
BA RB, the speed at which you respond to our national issues tells us a lot about your understanding of your responsibilities as leader.
i didnt know a lot about this paper !Thats why post ni mbama shit!
Mr. Banda, you are late. The house is already on fire. How many lives have been lost due to government’s negligence? Why go on a state visit when there is disaster in your home. It did not make any sense. Anyway guys, get the money and use it to pay those that helped when Banda was away. George Kunda flew to view Lusaka floods instead of physically visiting the affected families. What a shame! As for opposition parties-Do not bring them into this mud. You are the governent, according to Shikapwasha and Mangani, and so its your duty to serve the citizens.
Key issues that have been mentioned in the article;
“President Rupiah Banda today visited flood affected areas in Lusaka where he disclosed that K11billion has been set aside to help mitigate the impact of the floods.”
“President Banda also said government would work with many other stakeholders to find a lasting solution to the problem of floods in the city.”
“He called on the opposition political parties in the country to come on board to find a lasting solution to the problem of floods.”
“The President said it was not good for the opposition political parties to politicize problems in the country.”
“We have to work together sometimes instead of cheap politicking”

Well the opposition has been called. Let us hear ideas from Mr. Hichilema and Mr. Sata just to name a few. Present your ideas on the table as this will also be a litmus test of some of the ideas you have concerning the development of Zambia instead of running to the POST to get a headline politicizing a problem.
I bet the PF supporters and sympathizers are going to say something like “you are late”, oh wait, some have already said that :-\”
Whatever the case, I’m sure everybody can put their assegai’s down so as to find a lasting and permanent solution to the flood problem in Lusaka.
I call for something I call water mining (if someone hasn’t already coined the term). What basically it is, is getting excess water from rainfall, putting it in…
cont. from #21
is getting the excess water from rainfall and other flooded areas, putting it in reservoirs, and using it for artificial irrigation which will enable small scale farmers grow crops all year round. I don’t know the environmental impact of such a project but it is something I thought I would put on the table.
If RB was a general on the field of battle, his army would be decimated (mowed down) before he reacts and change the battle plans, my GOD!
He is the commander in chief, he is the top cop, he is the #1 governor, even city mayor. That’s how effective and working Presidents are supposed to do. Not jumping on every opportunity he has to travel instead of providing leadership. His lieutenants will only perform when he himself (the president) is seen to be at the forefront of “good work ethics”!!
Doesn’t any wonder why the civil service in Zambia is so dysfunctional and lazy? Well, they have no reason to perform when high ranking civil servants like the President don’t do jack!! Who can be inspired by RB’s work habits? Maybe only Senior Citizen, and that other MMD Boot fimo fimo.
The flood problem is not new to Lusaka, and these govt officials, including the President, already know this. What facts is the president trying to gather when, I think, govt already has mounds of reports, probably even studies about this issue? Didn’t they already know that when it rains, and there is poor or no drainage system in the city, flooding is a high possibility? Are they waiting for China, WB or IMF to tell them to do something about this problem?!!
Trust me, after it is all said and done, we will be back next year discussing this very problem. And the President will again be on his “DONKEY” visiting displaced people due to floods. In the meantime, nothing will have been done about it—-that’s Zambia at its best, right?—-C.R.A.P!!!
Firstly, the Honourable Vice President took an aerial view of the affected areas,and from what he saw,the situation was quiet critical,after this he ordered finance minister,local govnt and other big wigs to take a similar tour,,,quetion is,what was the tour the VP undertook meant to archieve,did he not report to the president,isnt this duplication of work,im not just trying to criticize or anything but people come on, where’s the sense in these tours surely,ever since kunda toured and ordered finance ministry to relase the funds,we should have seen some work going on by now,alas,RB has come and ordered 11billion,meanwhile kunda ordered for the release of funds again
Vice President George Kunda has directed the Ministers of Finance, Local Government, Home Affairs and Community Development to conduct an aerial view of the floods in Lusaka district in order for them to appreciate the extent of problem in the province.
Mr. Kunda told ZANIS in an interview that doing so will make the ministers understand the complexity of the situation and move them to work out measures to promptly address the problem.
…………………………………
The flood situation falls under the vice presidents office,he should have done everything in his powers to mitigate the situation,more over this flood situation did not happen when RB was in china,he should have sorted out or gave the directive before he left,KYAMBALESA once said kunda is inept,he was damn right
Election time is just around the corner, the Banda guy will do anything to look like a saint. Now he’s calling upon the opposition. Too pathetic in deed
RB…Rubbish Banda,you do not go gallavating around the world leavin your children in a mess & then you come back thats when you want to show them that you are a father xmas…tick tack time is movin for you & your shallow minded Vp,ministers,Psec’s Dc’s & entire MMD.2O11 VOTE WISELY
Lasting solutions guys pliz its not about Banda here, But i Hope more is done about planning Lusaka City its all a mess really

Copying H.H’s ideas we see!
You can read this idea of UPND anytime on the POST newspaper.
Oh thats probably where you got the idea of yours.
FOOL
Is this news honestly or people are just used to get hand outsie unga ,kapenta in the pretext that even the salt was washed away.Are the floods the reponsibility of a government or an act of GOD in an ill prepared society?How long are we going to sing thge same boring songs of drought and floods surely?Ask the people if they want to move and get a real reaction.Zambia what happenee to our intellectuality that turned in to ploitical laziness.Honestly can a party cause floods? Lets think before we talk
#30 What is artificial irrigation?
Soon we will be seeing crocodiles swimming along Cairo Road if Banda is not removed from office. Those floods will attract crocs in those compounds.
@ #30 Crumbling Society of MMD
May you kindly paste the link of the article in the POST where I plagiarized this idea from as I have not seen it. I would like to read up on HH’s idea and contrast it with my plagiarized one.
May you also kindly elaborate how calling me a FOOL will provide a lasting and permanent solution to the flood problem in Lusaka. I look forward to your response as I am beneath your level of problem solving. ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^
It really suprises me with the way we react to these situations. We always enjoy a fire fighting approach. When will we ever learn to be proactive? The approach to improving the living standards of the masses in this country is very poor. We know the reason why we have those so called floods. Why do you take it as a shock Mr President? Lets engage our engineers and sort out the drainage. Why should Lusaka experience floods when it is not even near any flood threatining river. We waste money on useless things like the NCC when our people are suffering. Politicians travel every day and see how other countries manage their places and they literally learn nothing from them.
Sata has admitted that he has failed to run the councils and now he has gone game viewing in rural areas. He has abandoned his people who are drowning in floods. Mr. President, please dissolve the council so that we can get them to deal with our flood issues instead of politicizing their own failure. We dont need excuses from this PF run council nd its party president. We need solutions!
Who Employs the TOWN PLANER? I am sure its PF RUN Lusaka COUNCIL
who said that he will be Running the Government through Councils and all those that need Land, Government services In Lusaka nd Copperebelt should see him at Farmers House? = Micheal Sata
the 90 Days, but lusaka is still worse that his MP found it
The truth is SAtan will never change anything in this country, he cant even address issues with his councils.
It pains me to see the SATan waiting to take over statehouse and all his disciples are waiting to follow him.
#30 hope you will now get some idea of why its important to read, have issues in your memory and recapitulate when you are asked. My brother come back to earth and dont you ever think those people in kanyama like to live in such conditions. mind you the local govt has instructions from central govt thru the minister of local govt to administer such funds as the infamous CDF. the veep’s office is responsible for mitigating disasters in zambia. so where does it leave your blind support if the very govt is failing. yes the mayor or councillor may be from an opposition party but you first read the local govt act and see who controls the money inflow and expenditure. kindly access the national assembly of zambia for the constitution or if you are too lazy ask me to fetch it for you
#30, access the post at this thread postzambia.com/post-read_article.php?articleId=5580
the moment services such as water, gabbage, road maitainance and housing were taken away from the councils, thats when the cancer entered and councils have never been the same since then in terms of revenue collections. we saw in 1987-8 how much lusaka district council collected, more than a billion kwacha and it became the first council to own public transportation buses for its workers-all this under one Micheal Sata.
Chingola council could contract phoenix road contractors to refurbish the town center and most major roads even without withdrawing from the central govt. but came the shortie, and all his senses were so short that he couldnt see the future. hence the dilapidation you and i are witnessing for most towns around zed
This is a big challenge for our engineers to find a lasting solution and let GRZ make the financial resources available. I have confidence in our men who have done civil engineering and town and country planning to sort out this problem of floods year in year out. Its not time to politick.

“Look at Kanyama, how many years have we been talking about Kanyama? Floods come year in year out. All it takes is a very simple thing, to put drainage in Kanyama. For us we want to make sure that we build an artificial dam in Lusaka West where we can direct all the water from Lusaka into that artificial dam so that in the dry season we can use that water for agriculture and other things.” Hichilema charged that the office of the Vice-President and the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit had become a disaster itself.
“For us we want to make sure that we build an artificial dam in Lusaka West where we can direct all the water from Lusaka into that artificial dam so that in the dry season we can use that water for agriculture and other things.”Hakainde Hichilema, The Post Newspaper Online, 9th Feb 2010
“I call for something I call water mining (if someone hasn’t already coined the term). What basically it is, is getting excess water from rainfall, and other flooded areas, putting it in reservoirs, and using it for artificial irrigation which will enable small scale farmers grow crops all year round.

Sata has publicly admitted that he has failed. He admitted that he has failed to run the councils and that they have in turn, failed the people of Zambia. Now, instead of trying to deal with his failures, he has opted to go campaigning in rural areas by bus, leaving poor souls to suffer in floods. This is a lack of leadership. Its like PF is on auto pilot!
RB should dissolve this council and get his people to turn Lusaka around. We want results and not these excuses PF are giving us!

Wow, the similarity is amazing I would swear if I was also someone else I would accuse me of plagiarizing. 😮
Thanks Che Guavara for pointing out my alleged plagiarizing even though this is the first time I am reading the article (not that it matters nor do I have any reason to prove this) but whatever the case, it is surely a good idea and I encourage Mr. Hakainde Hichilema to present the idea to the President as the President has opened the door for ideas.
sorry my postings are targeted against one called mr capitalist on thread #34 not on #30, am with the person who posted number 30 and in response to capitalist on thread # 34
#45, my dear i may not know the last time you were in Zambia. kindly furnish me with such and i will give you plenty of what is taking place here. Dont mind the flag, im using some mobile device which links to any available satellite for comm purposes

Who is your question on #47 directed to? Furnish you with what?
# Che Guevara
good job,i like your style son,you are my number one fun,have a beer on me :d/
Dohhhhhh, own up!!!
fight fight fight, for once im a spectator,,,,bow of popcorn please someone
the technology for harvesting rain water is very much available. I last saw this on a Japanese documentary on ZNBC some time in 1986, for them even at home you can do it as long there is plenty of storage. Storm water is relatively clean and thats why we used to have gutters that were lined with stone quarries some time ago so that this water goes back to the rivers relatively clean than is the case where some one can even have the audacity to build a house right over the stormy water passage or imifolo mu chibemba
#48, Mr Capitalist, its directed right to you. i thought you posted on number 45? Forgotten already,iye ba tata aba, naumfwo luse nenkumbu kumutima. you have such a nice name but misapplied posts bro.
Well Che Guavara
I don’t know what you are asking. Furnish you with what? What in my post on #45 is worthy of a question? What do you disagree with? I don’t get what I’m supposed to furnish you with.
As admitted by sata his councils have failed to perform so as his MPs most of this constuencies around Lusaka are all PF,look at matero one wounders if the area MP there has gone into hiding or she is waiting for her gratuity.Roads are pathetic potholes have turned into fish ponds and there are the same MPs who want to be in Govt by 2011. [-([-(So please Foustina sinyangwe and Ken sinyangwe sort out those ramshakled roads in matero..and why is it Pf symbol of a fist same as Mugabe’s Zanu Pf symbol?does it mean Sata is going to adopt mugabe’s style of leadership if he becomes presido? 😕
People should not waffle without being reflective.We have a history.Did we use to have such frequent floods in the past? A we should be mindful of the fact that there are two types of evil: man made and natural.the former is easier to manage and avoid and even find some one to blame .The latter is different in the sense that it cannot be blamed on anyone.No matter the number of drainage systems that may be put up in Lusaka the problem of floods will not be solved.Who remembers seeing floods in the areas of Manda Hill,Acades etc…Look at Uganda.People died there due to mudslides as a result of rains.In Morrocco.People died due to floods. In Kenya there are serious floods after a very long spell of drouhgt.Which man can prevent these natural evils from happening?People should reason.
#37 You are right Sata promissed that within 90days you will see what we will do for the people of Lsk and CB. what have we seen interms of running Councils? total failure!!!
thats a prblm of mmd and other chaps #5,y tok abt sata alwz.
umuntu ngalakulandapo lyonse ninshi ala kutina.leave sata alone te bawiso,u v just faild to deliva.
:d:”>:d/:((:-w;);):-w and many more
Mwanya ba kolwe, you Rupiah is going to anything about that situation. Lyashi fye. Lets wake zambian our country is going down. MMD have failed to deliver why can’t take them out.These guy are travelling and see how other countries are developed. MMD fikala fyenu
On Sep 11, 2001 when terrorists attacked the USA, pres Bush was on a visit to Asia and as soon as he was informed he cut short his visit and rushed back home to be with nation and take charge of the situation. On Xmas day 2009 a Nigerian almost succeeded in blowing up a passenger plane full of people but fortunately the plot was foiled. This happened while Obama was away on holiday and he did not issue a statement or return to Washington there and then until after 3 days. He was heavily criticised.
In Zambia floods cause a disaster,houses collapse,people die and many more are evacuated to a stadium, for months no word from the president and instead chooses to visit China and when people query his insensitivity he cries, ‘the opposition is politicising things.’ Zambia needs change.
MMD manufesto is very good but poor leadership. The major cause is bcos the President has never had good Political Advisor and most in the Cabinet ni ba YES bwana. The cabinet full of Easterners and one from Southern. My assessment is that those who are doing their ministial job are FELIX MUTATI, KAPEMBWA SIMBAO, BRIAN CHITUWO, KABINGA PANDE and MUKUMA. Minister like MANGANI and others are just besy politing . They dont even know they job discription. Its only very few daull chaps on this site that support them. Otherwise this site its not for you cadres to call each other names, its for you to make analisys. I dont want to talk about opposition cadres cos they are not in Govt. Lets work as a team for our mother Zambia. When the Govt do better lets say Well done. If they dont lets condem
#55, we had floods in Kanyama since the infamous and first flood disaster we had some time in 1978 or 79 somewhere there. Since then Kanyama has been a benchmark of floods in Zambia and so we are not waffling. Such problems were supposed to be settled a long time ago like you see just besides Cairo road, under the the road there is a very big drainage such that its not easy to simply flood the CBD in one or two or indeed three heavy down pours. But alas, this has become the haven of many street kids and if it goes unchecked, we may start experiencing the same even pa central place. this plan was supposed to be extended outward but we got independence and most of such projects were left out on the NDP’s and most of the money went to liberation struggles, hence the gross underdevelopment of
contd from #62
underdevelopment of lusaka town centre
#61, Mutati = Bemba, Chituwo = Ila, Pande = Kaonde, so why lie and say cabinet is full of easterners? Even if its to hate RB, awe mwe this is going overboard. We have floods because Sata promised us he would make the councils work for us and he failed. After admitting failure, he has run off to rural areas attending radio shows where they keep ignoring his negative message about RB and are more interested in knwing more about his adulterous life.
We are seeing economic strides because of the same 1991 MMD manifesto which was developed by true lovers of Zambia like Arthur Wina, Baldwin Nkumbula, etc… The only difference between then and now is that both Levy & RB follow the manifesto where FTJ abandoned it. This is good leadership.
#62, the council is responsible for dealing with these floods.
When PF took over the council, Sata promised that he would show MMD how things should be done. He has now told us that he has failed. Drainage in other areas like Garden, Kabanana, Chawama, etc… are all new to us. These were never there before PF took over the councils.
PF have improved the running of the councils by improving the collection of rates, taxes and building fees. When they took over the council, rates were in arrears of over 3 years. Now they demand payment immediately they drop off the rates invoice or they collect your TV, Fridge, Stove, etc… They are efficient!
The PF have failed to direct these funds to better the lives of our people. They have instead paid their own salaries in arrears. Shame!
mwamba Mulenga ,ulichipuba sana,your head needs examination
pa zed,neimbushi called”here we come…..mulifisushi
Thank you #65. This shows what is to come under a PF led government. There will be widespread looting of tax payers money. At least today we have an opposition to point out when money is missapropriated. What more when the MMD in opposition is destroyed by a PF/UPND led government like we saw with UNIP in 1991? It means there will be no opposition and thus wide spread theft of public funds like we saw under FTJ.
Better to be safe than sorry. PF makes a good opposition but not a good ruling party.
#66, go and complain to Sata. He admitted that his councils have failed. You get your head examined for building castles in the sky.
Whether anyone likes it or not,Sata is a man of action as evidenced by his achievements in any ministry he has been given.Ka Chiluba,na Banda knows that when Sata/HH comes,and they are coming make no mistake,they will del;iver much to their shame,and people will be able to compare.PF COUNCILLORS under Sata/HH will deliver .In most places I have gone that is the talk to give Sata a chance .Zambia will go through a major transformation..
SATA IS COMING,THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL.THANK YOU TO ALL ZAMBIANS WHO WANT CHANGE AND SEE THAT THIS COUNTRY GETS RESTORED AND GETS TO BE RESPECTED.I WAS IN LUAPULA AND SAW FOR MYSELF THAT SATA HAS BECOME EVEN MORE POPULAR EVERYWHERE YOU GO.THE PROPAGANDA MACHINERY HAS LAMENTABLY FAILED TO BURY THIS OLD BUT ACTIVE POLITICIAN WHO HAS A GENUINE DESIRE TO TRANSFORM OUR BELOVED COUNTRY
A flood is a flood. No one sane has to travel to a flood area to figure out what needs to be done. First you go on holiday to China. What was he talking about to the chinese? Shouldn’t he have at-least asked the chinese what they do when they have floods, if he has no solutions. What was he talking about in China? I bet after the flood fact finding mission he went to sleep. 2011 RB out!
king cobra will change the face of Zambia,wait and see.He will clean up the ministries and make them responsive to the needs of their respective areas.There shall be accountability such as you have never seen before.Thieves are scared,Kafupi is scared.Too much politicking.We are tired,we want to be counted as a nation.This country is so beautiful but has been raped and mutilated.Order is required and ONLY HH/SATA can make this change.These are disciplinarians and will put taxpayers money to good use
viwamina mbuzi ka? ba RB can be appealing for help from NGOs that he’s threatening to deregister??? for sure its the animal farm in action in Zambia!!!! sickening!
Mr Capitalist, I agree with crumbling society of MMD’s sentiments on your comments. It appears you are out of touch with what is happening in zed. Even HERB is also out of touch by calling for solutions from the opposition when the UPND even before he left for China provided the solution. UPND said construct researvors around Lusaka to collect the water which would be useful at certain times. Isn’t this a solution? Look extend your read to the mighty post, get updates. postzambia.com. You will be educated and probably you will start to appreciate the intelligence of the opposition.
and i’m sure the cost of this so called visit alone would have sorted out at least the immediate problems that these people are facing…whats the cost of the cars on the entourage?
Ba # 67 Mwila,i wish you will eat AMAFI YOBE naya mbwa for yr supper tonight.
No. 60. Bush was in Florida attending a school’s function when the twin towers were brought down, point of correction. This doesn’t mean that RB is justified to take long to respond.
#78 Ndapapa, Thank you very much for your correction, somehow I got it all mixed up with a different event, it seems.
If you weren’t such a$$hole and travelling all over the world, the money you’ve spent on your travels and loose women would have been spent on helping those innocent people. You won’t help them ala bee. You got no heart, you just don’t care. You just wanna enrich yourself and your family. You hypocrite!
dialogue can only begin when the big man himself starts the process of listening than been retrogressive
this mwamba mulenga guy is obviously MMD and has stayed away from the country such that his lost touch with the current happenings in zambia.Back home,people are so tired of your uncles party or whatever you so choose to call it .The now calling for change
How would he have known there are floods in Zambia, when he has been spending all his time in foreign shores!!! For educated zedians on here supporting this ****er is beyond me!! 40 something years of independnce and still we can’t dig our own drainages.. This is the same kolwe, people like ‘CAPITALISTS’ wants 2 vote for… sucks!!
We have a joker as a president…
As victims of floods, we would appreciate more action then talking and visiting. Visiting us will not change anything, its a pit that our country has been handed over to pipo who use their legs to make decisions. This is why as a pipo we should make the right choice when voting…
Mr Tembo has a point
Mwamba Mulenga
You are using a good title name and yet no wisdom. You are calling me a lie when I said cabinet is full of Easterners? Do you know the meaning of full of? Even insane persons know that in Cabinet,all diplomatic and presidential position appoint, majority are frm Ku maba. Thats why they are not perfoming well its like in the farm. MANGANI and his friend are only politicing. I mention MUTATI, CHITUWO, KABINGA PANDE,and SIMBAO as some of the miniters doing fine. Home affairs is appointed to look into the security matters in the country and not to judge is qualified as presidential candidate.
I ve never seen a Prez as D.ull as HERB Nyamasoya.
“The opposition must not always oppose. I would like to see Mr. Sata or Mr. Hichilema say what we can do to help these people. We have to work together sometimes instead of cheap politicking.” President Banda said.
Where was he when HH visited the flooded areas over a month ago!!!! Didn’t he read/hear one of the solutions put forward the? Bloggers here then did justice to the debate on floods.
He is the one who is playing the “cheap politiking” game. —– Ladies and gentlemen here come …. RB to the rescue … clasping a K11billion Kwacha. lets vote for him because he has Zambians interest at Heart!!!!!! —- What cr.ap. Sorry RB I fr one dont buy that.
#87 It is one thing visiting flooded areas and criticizing the Govt. It is also one thing visiting flooded areas and outlining what you would do to solve the problem or doing something about it. What did your HH do or say when he went on those areas – nothing of substance. Remember Mr Sata was Lusaka Governor, Local Govt Minister and that drainage problem was there – in short he failed.To remind you Drs Fundanga and Musokotwane were lecturers of HH at UNZA – and these are the guys steering the economics of the country – tell me any economic strategy for the country that HH has uttered – nothing. The best he has done is insult left right and center. Let him argue against his lecturers.
