We have 24 Cabinet Ministers. Only Sylvia Masebo and Felix Mutati have served before. 22 are upstart Ministers. We are more concerned about two appointments and not the 22 who've never served before. Make me understand.
Finally, after working all day and all night, it's done and dusted!

It's not even breaking news that Zambia Men's Pool National Team clinched the African championship yesterday after beating RSA at NASDEC. The Zambia Pool Union must bad with publicity.
So, in the last 48hrs, Dora Siliya donated 3 Rosa buses to my native Petauke worth over K900,000. During the same period, the Cancer Disease Hospital and the Renal Unit at UTH are desperately in need of life saving equipment. Whence to PF?
He graduated from UNZA with a BSc in Mech. Eng. in 2017. Couldn't find a job, decided to go into farming to sustain his livelihood. In 2023, he applies for a job in ZAF, gets selected and is very excited. He will quit his farm. We need to have convos around such stories in

Doctors removed 16 bullets from Tupac Amaru Shakur's bullet riddled body, but sadly he couldn't survive the bullet wounds. A Zambian is rushed to hospital with a total of 22 bullet wounds, but miraculously survives. Even though police have fed us beans, we thank GOD he's alive.
Ku MOH kuli kantu. MOH appeared before the PAC and couldn't account for K63m. K63m! They also couldn't explain how the dispensing chemist, Honey Bee, was awarded multi million dollar supply contracts. It's Honey Bee which supplied MOH defective condoms and coloured panadols.
@EdgarCLungu
I'm afraid your track record doesn't give any inspiration nor hope for the future. Drop the infrastructure narrative because CB roads are a disaster. Instead, explain to us how you will fix inflation, exchange rate, debt burden and the dwindled education budget.
Other than KK's numerous interviews, I can't remember any other re-assuring and exuberating interview like the one Bally gave to the BBC today. Boy! Did we miss a Zambian President who talks to his people.
ZNBC Main News reports that RDA funded the construction of 40 houses in Kazungula district for displaced families following the construction of the bridge. Cost $259,000,000. This is way too expensive. Could ZNBC have unearthed their first ever corruption matrix?
Looking around
#Zed
's opposition, no name pops up that can meet this high bar that Bally has set. To imagine that some ohns can reduce us to "The Tenant's" mediocre levels again, is spine chilling. We must never sink so low again. We deserve to remain in the Champions League.
ECL's return to politics evokes fresh memories of the brutal murders of over 60 Zambians at the hands of mob justice and young Frank Mugala during gassing. Also Mapenzi, Lawrence, Vespers and many more. I hope the media can now ask him some questions around these murders.
PF lied that they were subsidizing fuel, yet they never paid a single penny to the fuel suppliers in excess of US$600m, effectively nullifying the subsidy b'coz the New Dawn Govt have had to pay the suppliers. In short, PF cheated the gullibles who reckoned fuel was subsidized.
Hello
@UPNDZM
. Yesterday 04.06.2024, your thugs robbed my innocent poor grave digger who cleans and maintains my family grave site at Old Leopards Hill Cemetery. They robbed his phone in full view of cops. The countdown to your one term in office begins in earnest now.
"Honourable" is the most abused word in Zambian politics. Somebody just called Bowman "Honourable". Like really! After both the High Court & ConCourt found him guilty of DISHONOURABLE CONDUCT?? Let's be serious for once and stop this nonsense.
😂😂😂😂
You know what, this MP has made life look so easy with the way he is tackling issues affecting his constituency. He has chosen to do politics in the House. In the Constituency, it's strictly work. Keep it up Hon. Chanda.

ICYMI. Yesterday Bally revealed that the "clique of thieves" bought fertiliser at $1200 per ton when actual price was $450 per ton. A supplier was even paid the full amt of $120,000,000 in advance, but only delivered 63%, leaving a balance of 37% ($44,400,000). GOD is great!
Bally is currently at the Lusaka showgounds flagging off the distribution of CDF Project Monitoring vehicles to all constituencies. I only hope he didn't carry those tools which piss off his Critics - Literacy Graphs and figures 😂😂😂
Dear National Sports Council of Zambia, Zanama and Kabanana.
Please grow up. If you admit delaying to pay athletes, the next thing to do is to apologise, not to threaten athletes. But I don't even need to tell you this, do I? You thrive on tax payers' money. Respect athletes.
@ngomabest196
I'm glad you know that K7,350 per week is nonsense. Now, in the same spirit, prove here without hesitation that K7m isn't also nonsense.
I repeat. Prove here without hesitation that K7m isn't nonsense. Failure, I'll take it that you're just peddling lies and falsities here.
No no no. That's not how to respond. You respond to the points he has raised, not his persona please. It's not about him, it's about issues around governance and the "Kanstitution" which you should be responding to.
Still unbelievable for me. I've had to live with a phobia for PF thugs since 2012 after they beat me up in full view of that "sausage woman cop". My crime. Not giving way to the thugs who were driving on the wrong side. Was rushing my aunt to UTH who didn't make it as a result.
A friend & I went for lunch to Thornpark Matebeto, on a Sunday. A small group of UPND "regalid" cadres came in. They ordered their food & sat chatting about what sounded like everday party matters. Struck me later what a change cadres acting normal is.
Strangely, the people who are worried that Bally will be voted out in 2026 are only those who got so used to PF populist decisions and policies that got us into this huge debt ridden economic mess for corrupt reasons.
Sean Zeros ignorantly confused Crude Oil for Refined Oil in a very long write up. Not only that. He got the pricing of refined oil completely wrong in the process. I hope he doesn't confuse engine oil with cooking oil.
Well, even PF did express fake self confidence and optimism. Zambians had other ideas. And they will have other ideas on you
@UPNDZM
. So watch your mouth
@KasandaChushi
. This is a friendly warning.
About street vending, Zambians who've been to the Chinese Trading city of Guangzou will attest to this.
There's massive legal street vending in Guangzou, but only at night from 19.00hrs or so. Next morning, you won't find a single speck of garbage or rubbish. It's cleaned up.
We led the way in Chipata at the N'cwala. No cadre nonsense. Kuomboka is replicating it. No cadre nonsense here unlike in ECL times. This is a huge win by Bally and his New Dawn Govt.
Dear Mr President
@HHichilema
, once again the 2020 Auditor Generals Report is a DAMNING one. People stole our money. So, we hereby demand that LEAs move in immediately to arrest & prosecute the thieves asap. Thieves have built mansions while village folk share water with animals.
Let's be clear. How many of us take time to follow Parley proceedings? In 2012, PF amended the ACC Act and introduced Section 80 (3). Did we raise eyebrows? Nope! PF new what they wanted and are now reaping the fruits. So, let's pay a keen interest in parley proceedings.

@DrFredMmembe

For the uninitiated, this week the Paris Club is meeting in France and one of their agenda items is to present their Debt Restructure Proposals to HH. Based on some comments I've seen, it's in our country's best interest to commit to prayer instead of being antagonists.
Tell me something Stan. In your meeting updates kuchalo, you never give specifics, yet the President does on his page. What stops you from giving specifics so we can be sure you're not wasting tax payers' money?
Our media will never ask you this question, so please reply.

So, the PF police of ECL, Kampyongo and Kanganja attacked and gun-butted the UPND Accountant breaking his spine. A mere accountant. And ECL wanted to rule for a third term, so he can break our spines all of us? GOD you truly exist up there. Look down with favour upon us.
If the lies that PF were telling this morning on
@phoenixfmzambia
#LetThePeopleTalk
that ECL never resigned from polìtics, but merely went on leave are anything to go by, then this PF saga will have no end in sight b'coz Cabinet Office are in receipt of his resignation letter.
@ArmstrongKamwi
No chance in hell we could have continued with grand corruption, mediocre leadership and cadreism. We've always deserved better as a people and ECL's leadership was just the pits. Actually, during his time, cadres would have started plotting how to harm you by now.
So, CK has gone back to default settings and top on his priority list is just TRIBALISM. Zambians aren't interested in tribalism from tribalists. Zambians want to know how ECL as sitting President will fix the economy that PF bombed. Period.
That Sinda Farm is like half of Zambia in size. Anyway, is anyone aware if the Lungus have challenged these seizures? I'm not. So I'll speculate that the Lungus have admitted guilt here. I'll also speculate more that they've failed to provide evidence of source of money.
Not this guy on
@diamondtvzambia
saying ECL meant well, but it's the people who surrounded him that messed him up. Those people didn't appoint themselves. ECL appointed them and he made very poor choices of ministers, aids and friends. ECL made the bed himself and he got served.
The fuel increase comes as no surprise. Finance Minister Musokotwane hinted about this two weeks ago and the sharp reaction from the public is surprising. Don't we listen attentively when politicians are making policy announcements?
Staunch PF friend visits me. 19hrs switches TV channel from UCL build up to ZNBC news. 3rd item on news is hundreds of police stopping a UPND rally in Kitwe. Fourth item is Vincent and Malanji holding a crowded meeting in Eastern province. Covid has been weaponised.
No, point of correction. ERB hasn't done anything of that sort. ERB has adjusted downwards what ZESCO had proposed. Analyse the tables for once in your life Mwebantu.
The ERB has approved ZESCO's new connection fees. The new fees are K13, 248 from K2,789 for single phased overhead standard, K4,655 from K769 for meter separation, K28,447 from K4,887 for 3 phase overhead for the low density demarcated and reticulated areas.
#Zambia
To refer to others as "Praise Singers" is a public show of total ignorance of the fact that Zambia chose Multi-Party Democracy in 1991 which comes with Freedom of Expression, amongst others. There shall always be divergent views in a multi-party democracy, so live with it.
I'm a Zambian tax payer. Successive Zambian Govts have told us that when we pay tax, it will show via development, not enrichment of the Lungu family and their cohorts. Therefore, instead of weeping in public, these spoilt kids should explain how they got so rich. That's all.
ECL missed the chance to tell the women that days of handouts are over, it's now time to work to earn money by, say, joining cooperatives to access CDF like other women are doing. ECL must be seen to contributing to solutions to problems he created and left unresolved.
Kantanshi PF MP, Anthony Mumba, is right. 16km of the Muf-Mokambo border road surely shouldn't wait for PPP. That's a road which can immediately benefit the country economically and GRZ needs to rehab the road almost immediately without further delay.
This Shebby conviction for murder echoes many angry afterthoughts. Fact that Shebby was ECL's official barber brings to the fore the debate on whether or not ECL should be recognised as Elderly Statesman. He certainly doesn't qualify to be Father of the Nation. That's KK's.
With the announcement of the ban of mask disribution, it's safe to say UPND Alliance has outsmarted the cartel of PF, ECZ and ZP at their own game. When ECL started campaigning disguised as Mask distribution, HH did the same and now both ECZ and ZP have been left in limbo.
Reading the latest Auditor Generals Report for 2020, PF should have considered staying away from the Kabwata by election on moral grounds, that is if they even have any feelings for this country and its people, because the stealing of public resources is unprecedented.
The Salaama Park story of the 19 year old boy killing both his parents is so horrific. The story is also symptomatic of the growing substance abuse in most suburbs of Lusaka. DEC must nab the kingpins who are supplying kids. Also, allowing teenagers to enter pubs must stop.
Yes indeed, up to 37% of ones salary going to Income Tax is as good as killing citizens. Govt should revisit these tax bands. If ZRA can admit to not having capacity to audit mines, why should the burden be borne by citizens?
Same old same old PF. No single Uni graduate in the cheering crowd, signifying no re-branding ever took place. The same kaponyas cheering ECL on are the same lazy kandiles who turned into thugs when it suited PF. Let's wait to see how far they'll take thuggery in opposition.
So, we are told K4.4m moved from KCM account to Milingo's account. Not convincing evidence according to DPP. Let a poorly paid bank clerk move K500 to his account and see how DPP will ask for a 7 yr jail term. Our laws aren't balanced.
If the New Dawn ain't careful, we might slide back into that period of decadence that they took us out of. Such mockery by every Jim & Jack is unacceptable.
#Bill10
has got good amendment clauses. But so does it have very bad clauses. The PF, in usual hoodwinking mood, mixed Sugar with Muleza. Muleza is so bitter, it will dominate the sugar taste to a bitter taste. Try mixing Chloroquine with Sugar.
#Bill10MustFall
.
If Faith can have K65m + $57,000. If Milingo can have K110m + $250,000. How much do PF insiders have? Is it the reason PF has sued LEAs? Damn you PF. You will disclose the source of your huge money trunks. It could be KCM.
@EdgarCLungu
What if you made a huge announcement tomorrow morning that you are auctioning that Gulfstream 650 luxury jet to raise money to enable ZESCO set up Solar and Wind energy farms.
Watching Munir's video about Lumezians Vs Bweengwa-ans, I can't believe seeing PF presidential aspirant Mundubile chuckling at Munir's provocative rant instead of showing disgust. How will Mundubile ever campaign in Bweengwa? Is this the calibre of leaders PF has? Dis-uniters?
Minister Masebo once alluded to these thefts by health professionals. What followed was a backlash by the health pros, particularly RDAZ who even demanded an apology. K900,000 worth of drugs deprived a good number of patients off drugs. Who knows, some probably even died.
A local court magistrate & a DEC officer amongst the suspects. The other day Bally lamented about how it's not possible to fix what was broken for ten yrs in two years. We mocked him, yet we can see that the country is still reeling from the decade of criminality.
PHOTO FOCUS:
DEC has arrested six members of an organized criminal gang believed to be responsible for circulating counterfeit US Dollars on the Copperbelt.

Today we show gratitude to Zambia Police. They displayed professionalism in the way they handled the YUNZA Protesting students. Truly a service now. Kanganja must be gnashing his teeth in envy. Kudos to Students also for conducting their protest peacefully. Keep it up!
Bally's Speech has given so much renewed hope and inspiration for the future. If Bally sticks to his pronouncements, he will etch his name on the African continent as one of the greatest leaders to have traversed Africa. I feel so Proud & Free as a Zambian today.
Last week, Given Lubinda led a group of PF MPs to offer solidarity to ECL after his barber was detained by police. ECL t old journalists he had no idea why barber was detained. Really? Shouldn't ECL's intelligence chief be probed for allowing a murder suspect near the President?
Forest 27 is a Water Recharge Area. So Mr Minister if your Cabinet doesn't evict all squatters from there asap, take notice that we are going to declare Forest 27 a 2026 Campaign Issue. You've had enough time to deal with the issue.
@TilkaPaljkOly
I don't know what parameters you've used to quantify your "majority zambians" mantra. Zambia's population is estimated at 18 million and social media users are estimated at less than 5 million. Would you like to shed some light on this?
Just watched in disgust on
@diamondtvzambia
main news a clip about retirees still pursuing their benefits at Min of Justice. Disgusting because money for "Mosicians" and "Pastors" is so easily available. And the Catholic church is saying "pay retirees first before pastors".
Going by the numerous hiccups reported so far, I decided not to wait for the Voter Registration Individual to arrive in my hood, so I dragged my whole family plus three other neighbouring families to Lsk showgrounds. After 5hrs, the last of the 24 member team has just registered.
Pomp and Splendour at KKIA.

Mr President, this pic of Lumumba road was taken by a tweep. One day this garbage will be collected and will end up at a landfìll. We do have lot of Zambian waste management experts, and some even applied for loans at CEEC to buy solid waste management equipment, but CEEC
1/2
Our tour of a solid waste processing plant in Ghana gave us an idea on how you can create value from what would generally be considered waste. With proper investment, landfills can become a thing of the past.

He was Home Affairs Minister when citizens experienced the worst forms of Human Rights abuses by its own Govt in Zambia's history. Police killed several unarmed citizens, amongst was a 14 yr old schoolboy and an UNZA student. Over 50 died at the hands of mob justice killings 1/2
To the chagrin of Kambwili, to the chagrin of Tayali, to the chagrin of ZELOS, to the chagrin of Piyefu and its surrogates, to the chagrin of the "clique of thieves", it's more gnashing of teeth as Former President RB accompanied Bally to Monze.
This will give Doomsayers and Satanists more BP. The last time GRZ employed 11,000 Health workers and 30,000 Teachers, they had BP. This news will be to their chagrin, they'll just commit suicide. Watch the space as kawayawaya parties like Fred, Kalaba, PF, etc plot against

I hope he had an honest discussion with you because I caught his dishonesty 2 weeks ago on a live tv interview with Grevazio. He said "CEEC has written and explained to 99% of applicants the delays in reviewing their applications".
We haven't been written to. So it's dishonesty.
@ssishuwa
Just like somebody suggested that we shouldn't just agree because it's Chibamba Kanyama who's posted something about "a don't" during a job interview, I also disagree with the Dr Sishuwa on ECL's conceding of defeat. There's nothing graceful about it because it's constitutional.
Listening to the DMMU boss
@tgpollen
, I dare say that I'm 100% certain the previous holder of the office, who also doubled as a PF cadre, had no clue what he was doing there. His fright to even appear before the PAC attests to that. I don't know what Adada was thinking.
A very Good morning to Charles Kakoma, Ephraim Belemu, Prof Lungwangwa, Bizwell Mutale, Inno, GBM, Canicius Banda, Kambwili, Saboi Imboela, Lusambo and all the political dimwits plus kandiles and mushanina bwalis too numerous to mention.
With Love from normal Zambians. Honestly.
Out of the 156 Landcruisers, Kanchibiya has received its first-ever Police Vehicle courtesy of CDF and Government. We remain grateful to the President for the expanded CDF scope. We were honoured to have moved the Vote of Thanks on behalf of 156 Constituencies.
Makebi is on point. Police shouldn't be this overzealous. Esther can easily avail herself if summoned using the right channels. Going to the home does compromise the immunity of the former president and is tantamount to breaking the law. Lusaka PD, you can do better this please.
