Ban Asks Lungu To Repeat Parley Speech At UN
Ban Ki-moon
Special assistant to the President for press and public relations Amos Chanda told journalists at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport on Wednesday night that Mr Ban has requested President Lungu to repeat some of the things he said to the nation in his state of the nation address at the high-level meeting in New York.
Mr Chanda said the UN thinks that the fundamental pronouncements President Lungu made during the ceremonial opening of the fifth session of the 11th National Assembly last Friday go very far in addressing issues on which the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were set.
“His Excellency Ban Ki-moon has specifically requested President Lungu to co-chair the high-level panel discussion of 142 countries,” he said.
Mr Chanda also said the UN would want President Lungu to speak on those issues because they cut across the aspirations of the organisation, and can be used as a model in addressing the challenges which they think it is now facing.
“As you know, the MDGs were set in 2000 to 2015, so the United Nations is impressed with some of the fundamentals laid down in the state of the nation address by President Lungu,” he said.
Mr Chanda said these will be the two most important engagements by the head of State at the UN General Assembly in New York.
He said President Lungu will make a key note address to the UN General Assembly tomorrow and at the high-level panel discussion.
He also said President Lungu will meet several heads of State who have requested to meet him.
Mr Chanda said one of the major bilateral meetings that President Lungu will have, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, is with Chinese President Xi Xinping and many other European leaders who have requested to discuss bilateral cooperation with him.
And Mr Chanda also said President Lungu will meet Barrick Gold, the owners of Lumwana Mine and Turkish investors.
“The Zambians based in New York have requested the party secretariat to put up ‘the Meet the President Dinner’ which is a private arrangement” he said.
The President, who was accompanied by Mr Chanda and some senior Government officials, was seen off by Vice-President Inonge Wina.
The President departed for New York aboard a chartered plane at 23:50 hours on Wednesday night.
And CHAPADONGO LUNGU reports from New York that President Lungu landed at JFK International Airport at 11:00 hours (local time) and 17:00 hours (Zambian time).
About 11:30 hours, the President arrived at New York Palace Hotel where he was received by Minister of Foreign Affairs Harry Kalaba, Minister of Transport, Works, Supply and Communications Yamfwa Mukanga and Minister of Gender Nkandu Luo.
Others who received him were Zambia’s ambassador to Washington Palan Mulonda and Zambia’s UN permanent representative Mwaba Kasese-Bota.
A heavy schedule, starting with a maiden speech to the UN General Assembly tomorrow, other bilateral talks and courtesy calls await President Lungu.
The General Assembly will be opened by Pope Francis today.
President Lungu, who was in a jovial mood, remarked before greeting Grand Coalition on the campaign for a people-driven constitution chairperson Father Leonard Chiti that: “Are you a party cadre?”
And Zambians resident in the US will today host a dinner for President Lungu with a rich cast of musicians among them JK, Macky II, sentational gospel artiste Kings Mumbi alias Malembe Malembe and Mampi.

Moon and others failed to get sense out of what said and they know he has misused taxe payers money to go there that’s why they want him to repeat his speech in short they are telling him to rewrite his speech so there is nothing to be proud of as zambians

Do not worry. Here at home it is “Kano nga ebo; kano nga ndine; kano nag efyo!” These Opposition friends of ours know deep down their hearts that President Lungu is doing the right thing, the only problem is that it is not them who are in power.
So even in 2016, they will cry that elections have been rigged but in areas where they win elections, they do not tell us that they also rigged to win. This is how unfair they are to themselves because us in the PF we know them as cry babies.
Honestly how do you expect a Satanist to win over an innocent wine appreciator? When a person takes wine, o0r beer, he becomes more interesting, that’s why at all weddings that make sense, all kitchen parties etc wine is a must, NOT SATANISM or TRIBALISM (Hakainde Hichilema’s qualifications)

This Amos Chanda can not be trusted with information. Only two days ago he denied Mopani was shedding off labor in excess of 4,000 only to be denied by the union leader & confirmed by Labor Minister that about 3,800 are going. As we speak now others have already received termination letters. So who is telling the truth? He is another ka George Chellah!
Until I hear Ban Ki Moon himself confirm it I can only wait.

For a moment reflect on what is it that the generation after you will need to have for zambia. You seem to be obsessed with nothing but tribal, ethnic inclination at the expense of the common good for mother Zambia. Just sober your self whether even if Lungu is your father, is he surely putting things in place? Just using your conscience, no bias please, are you truly understanding where Zambia is headed to currently? Or is it an issue of fighting to be whatever it takes. So base your discussions on matters obtaining and not on the colour of HH or Lungu or whoever. It is the best for Zambia, for you and me. whether Lungu or HH, it matters little. The key thing is are we all marching triumphantly economically, socially and otherwise morally? I’m afraid your identity scares me you might not be churched.

Global issues that will dominate at UN General Assembly will be influx of migrants from Africa and Middle East swamping the EU, poverty, global security and terrorism. Edgar shouldn’t go and embarrass Zambia with lame arse speeches possibly by the time he finishes it’s only a leader from Malawi will be listening in brotherly solidarity! Kikiki

Why would you want someone to repeat what they said? where you listening? Why would you want some one to only say parts of the many things they said?

You can yap or yell, but the bottom line is that Ban Ki Moon has shown that he is really an eye for the UN family. Eyeing and seeing what is happening in all the respective countries under this umbrella. And Lungu has drawn his attention that he is the best man for a country called Zambia.

Do you know good people that your Gift shall bring you before Kings and Queens? Humility, sincerity, peace, love, reconciliation, and forgiveness has won HE President Lungu a lot of friends and Politics of refusing to shake hands with a sitting President at the Cathedral in full view is not only regrettable, but detestable before God. Who knows what tomorrow holds? Kk in his blessing Zambia and I quote, No weapon formed against Zambia shall prosper! HE President Edgar Chagwa Lungu is the sole representative of Zambians, all Authoriity whether good or bad is from God, so let us embrace our Leadership and use the ballot box to settle scores. Let us join hands in developing and rebuilding Zambia! Jesus chose simple, unschooled ordinary men to be his disciples! Being a Lawyer is not a small achievement. We must be proud of our simple, humble, but hardworking President! Amano mambulwa!

In a lot of organisations, bosses identify officers who are good at speech writing so as to win the attention of audience. Speaking is far much different from doing. The president was advised to prepare a speech but when he said he was not able, then Ban asked him to just read part of his parley speech
