President Edgar Lungu has warned that he will not tolerate further shortage of fuel in the country.
The President notes with concern that fuel shortages are caused by what he termed as the sluggish banking transaction.
President Lungu also explained that a fuel tanker was unjustifiably marooned in Tanzania for almost a week.
The Head of State warned those involved in the transaction that he will be forced to act.
President Lungu however said he has been assured that stocks have started improving.
The President was speaking before departure for Maputo for a state visit.

My president show them that you are in control
A president reduced to a chap who just issues out careless warnings without any substance in them. And this is supposed to be a lawyer. Can the president instead of issuing warnings actually do something for once or give us his plans on how he will deal with these challenges. Does this man have advisors at all?? Bane only fools will vote pf.
The man just yaps, no action. They tumfya him that he’s a humble president kanshi they ate taking advantage of his softness. there’s already a shortage, what is he doing about it? A shortage of any sort is often predictable months before, why didn’t they act then?? What a Pathetic leadership!
Does the presidential jet have an office like airforce 1? Our man is spending a lot of his man hours in the air and holding rallies at markets.
The problem is failure to jail HH when he sold our companies and pocketed money. If HH was jailed pipo would fear stealing.
He is reactive..what are they key performance indicators for a head of state…what key things does he look at day in day out? If he is as ignorant as jerabos he is not worth his salt. He wastes away in Jemeson spirit.what business does he discuss with his cabinet? Shame
This Govt is very reactive not Proactive. Management by crisis do not bring out tangible results.
You call us fools all those who are going to vote for pf what can we call you then those who are going to vote for upnd-COWS
ati the tanker was delayd in tanzania, this is the tanker which was carrying dirt waste fuel nowonder it was delayd bcoz the tz govt noted that it is not money which can buy such useless dirt fuel but corruption and theft but to the surprise of tz officers was only to find it was sighnd by a zmbn president who knows that it is dirt fuel, is this wat u can boast of, buying dirt cheap fuel which is destroying our machines. autu
Lungu says a lot of things.
ELUNGU MWALEFWAYA BAFIKALA…. MORE MISERY IS COMING
What misery naiwe cholwa think before you insult wenama yampanga iwe.
Ba NEZ naimwe if those of us who are going to vote for PF are fools, then those of you who are going to vote for kachema are demented morons. Are you aware that those you are calling fools are capable of ushering you under 5 into power? Now because of your stupidity your under 5 will never step into Nkwazi house.
Kikikikiki 😂 the fools will always remain stubborn and will always vote pf even when they are sleeping hungry,their sisters being raped and stripped, living in darkness, can’t afford staple food and so on. These fools are a small group of ignorant few who will haveno impact on our performance. You cannot change every fool
Next we will start accusing the opposition that they are buying fuel in bulk to cause shortage and make the government un popular. kikikikikikikikikikikikiki
Pa bwato!
Add your comment- people can still vote for pf b’coz they lack knowledge. especially jerabos and villagers.
please vote wisely we have suffered a lot we need change. 11th august 2016.
Thats the most ridiculous thing I have heard today.
i have gone time to time on this on line,and i have seen that most of u pipo commenting on thi line are most tongas or cousins to tongas despite changing your names to other tribes.your language is very bad.even here when one buys post news paper it has to round the tribe mate to what has been written by mmembe.we all know how they conduct themselves
so iwe you are now a prophet who can determine through special powers the tribes of anonymous people online? Please do not be foolish iwe. Can you be objective for once. you are the fools voting without being informed and costing this country development!
The issue of companies having been sold by H H really bothers my mind.Can some one tell the nation the truth about what transpired.How did HH who was not in Governent at that time manage to sell Government property,If what he did was a crime why is he a free man.Have him arrested.So can someone tell the nation the truth about mines and companies which were sold at that time.
Here comes a Tonga man defending his tribesmen
A Presidential Challenger jet is like a Toyota Corolla box-type while Air Force 1 is Macopollo bus; on corolla you sit on tires direct whilst macopollo that is actually sitting, thanks Hello Haters
Fuel Issue. The President message is very clear He Will Not Tolerate Fuel Shortages but he will tolerate fuel purchasing errors or mistakes or kick backs.
This is management by crisis for sure. The shortage should have been noticed some months back. Shows how dull these pfools are. Ati I will no tolerate, who are u lying iwe makaka. Busy giving Marketeers interest free loans and bicycles in eastern prov. Kuyabebele. Ka presdo a kansekete kwati nakabikamo imbalala. Ka stupid. Viva HH

The reason why Lungu is tolerating fuel shortage is because it immobilizes the movement of the opposition. He tolerates violence because it inculcates fear in minds of the opposition. I have always said he likes the suffering of others including his own supporters.
