So he is from the Muchinga Clan!! Manje, it looks like this man is a legal resource, from his degrees in Law. No Economics and a 6 months diploma in banking. Not a very good Resume…..

Congrats Doc! Thats one of the few high positions in the nation. But to my fellow Zambians; What is real track record of performance where he has been? That’s the point we shouldnt forget!!! Papers he has, what about actual performance?
