It is a question of time; majority of Zambians will feel MMD’s loss in the 2011 election.
For now they are still busy with celebrations of SATA’s victory.
You’ve run out of ideas mwana. Wake up to reality. Your thinking sucks.
WHAT DO MEAN ? IWE CHI MMD. TULE RULIN’A
THERE WAS TO MUCH MESS IN THE GOVT
Which reality? it’s acually why our Zambia could not progress coz of such calibre of citizens.just accept that it has happened & MMD is history now!
Next is Zesco chief!
Not a day too soon for this d.on.key of an a.s.s-licker. He oughtta be inevstigated too.
Fine
Fcuk off you’ve said that so many times already. we wont be any worse than we were under playboy Ruphia
There are always opportunities for those who do their jobs well. World is looking for people with integrity. They should have stood their grounds and even if they were fired that time, they would have lived with their heads high.
But it is really a hard choice. If they are fired, there are many who are ready to bootlick and toe the party and president’s line.
Hope Mr. Sata puts good institutions and systems in place and that starts with good constitution.
the general we had all da respect u but u have down sized ur self to a papet
theys a lot to clean up,keep it mr president continue cleaning up next is zesco chief,followed by all DCs
Please do not look at Col. Kayukwa as a weak individual. The man had retired from the Military, and you know what happens to the retirees. Even Rupiah when he was unearthed from his farm, did he ever bite the appointing finger of Mwanawasa? A big NO! “Nipamene pachoka supu.” Political appointees are in a difficult situation to make an independent decision. Do not talk about integrity here. Its just quite difficult to bite the appointing finger. Lets wait and see who will bite the finger of Sata.
fire them bafikala twacula sana

BA Esnart Soko Zulu. plse check your comment. I do not entirely agree with your comment. If your boss tells you to eat shit, are you gona do that???? where are your morals then?
CYPRIAN CHITUNDU FOR ZESCO.THIS MAN GOT FIRED FOR ASKING MMD TO SIGN FOR MONIES THEY WANTED TO SYPHON FROM ZESCO.
MOREOVER,HE HAS EXPERIENCE IN ZESCO LIKE ROBSON MWANSA AND HE IS EIZ PRESIDENT.
MUPWAYA — USED TO DANCE AT MMD RALLIES BEFORE H.E.RB STEPPED IN.
Clean the system Michael. Clean all institutions. Zesco inclusive.
As Kayukwa goes, let him explain how on earth he covered corruption instead of fighting it. There is a prima facea case already needing trial of the former ACC chief. Firing him is not enough. Arresting him for abeting his constitutional powers.
let this position appointed by a parliamentary committee, so that it can be free from political interferance. Otherwise, it will b the same old story. ACC MUST BE I NDEPENDENT
Kabonde is next. He failed to arrest MMD cadres who were involved in violence but was quick to arrest PF supporters. The Mufumbwe and Chongwe saga are some of the prominent cases.
I disagree with Esnart Soko. Mumba Malila, Max Nkole and Madame Wandi are some of the political appointees who were sacked for standing true to their professional beliefs and ethics.
People When is Kabonde going to be crobd? days are numbered ba Kabonde you thought you were a star ale nalelo tutinye dirty minded chap.
Good observation when mr kabonde going? Twalemweba ati BA SATA baleisa Watchout TAMWALEUNFWA thats they wre preventing to become a president they new that they re wrong doers. But MR SATA IS A NO NONSENSE MAN. Teach them a lesson mr president and leave a history that we had a displined president one time in zambia.
Your Excellency, do not spare Zesco M.D, Tazara(Aka Lewanika), DPP(Chalwe Mchenga), Zambia Police Inspector General(Kabonde), all army chiefs whom RBbish recalled from retirement and all the District(MMD cadres) Commissioners. Ensure to also get rid of their assistants/deputies as they are birds of the same feather. Zambia must surely be cleaned and cleansed.
RE CALL AMBASSADORS AS WELL. DROP SOME PERM SECS. RETIRE ALL DEFENCE CHIEFS. DISSOLVE STATE BOARDS. WHERE IS RB STAYING?
These chaps under RB thought they had natural powers and took us for granted, but not knowing that the real power is in the hands of the people they re serving. Now let our President Mr Sata do his job. Please bring them to book all of them.
tell me if your boss tells you to kill your wife and eat her will you do it jsr because he is the hand that feeds you.
Col Kayukwa must face trial for being insecere to the Zambian people and for abating crime by his former principal RB.
WONDERFL!
Where next?ZNBC and ZESCO we are moving step by step.After that FRA and RDA get ready.Monday or Tuesday PSs and DCs.
Its our turn.
When is Kabonde’s tym, George Chellah ddnt u miss out the IG-KABONDE?
The country now is on shutdown maintenance, complete overhual. All the old troublesome machines nid 2 b uprooted, and install new ones, machines like Zesco machine, Police IG machine, Znbc Machine, etc, Maintenance Engineer MC Sata, uprooted those bad machine & install new ones, so dat wen we start the country there wont b any prblms.
Stp using the same old recycld pipo we nid new n energetic pipo wit fresh minds n ideas.
i will appreciate if you also give us a little more profile of the new appointee. Shalom.
That is a good start Mr President i cant wait 2 see Zampost being the organisation to be sorted out ,starting with the PMG,down to senior management especially new ones who cant perform
