PF Government’s Haphazard Policies Killing the Zambian Economy – Nevers
Movement for Multiparty Democracy Presidential Candidate Dr Nevers Sekwila Mumba yesterday the 13th of January 2015 had a successful rally in Solwezi at which he discussed at length the impending closure of Lumwana Mine that has been necessitated by the sudden increase in Mineral Royalty Tax by the Patriotic Front Government from 6% to 20% for Open Cast Mines.
The confusing, abrupt and haphazard policies of the PF have put 4,000 workers and 8,000 contractors at risk of losing their livelihood with over 70,000 people affected, using the current average family size of 6. This is not counting the reduction in economic activity downstream, as the goods and services consumed by the workers and contractors shrink considerably, leading to a loss in government revenues.
Dr Mumba explained that during the time he was Zambia’s High Commissioner to Canada, he was leader of the negotiation team that brought Barrick-Gold into Zambia through the purchase of Lumwana mine, an $8 billion investment that was the largest in a decade in the entire Africa. He said he would enter into cordial negotiations with Barrick-Gold with a view to producing a win-win situation where their impending exit would be forestalled and government mining tax revenue improved. The same negotiations would apply to all other mining companies as necessary.
Dr Mumba also promised to work hard to reduce the price of mealie-meal in the shortest possible time and give free education to Zambians up to grade 12. He also promised a return of fertilizer and fuel subsidies.
Earlier in the morning, Dr Mumba visited markets in Chambeshi and Chingola where he interacted with ordinary marketeers and other members of the public. His visit to Mufulira town center brought business to a standstill as members of the public came to get a glimpse of Dr Mumba and speak to him.
Dr Mumba had also visited Mukambo border post in the morning as the MMD Campaign team were driving from Mansa where another successful rally had been held the previous day. The team was met by the entire Copperbelt Provincial Executive Committee, Mufulira District Executive Committee and other MMD supporters.
Dr Mumba addressed the group at one of the MMD Councilor’s residence where he explained in detail the genesis and current party position on the internal MMD party wrangles.
Later in the evening, Dr Mumba attended a meeting with the Solwezi Press Club where he presented the “MMD Back In Government Ten Point Master Plan” which had been unveiled at the Press Freedom Committee forum on 5th January 2015 at the Southern Sun Hotel in Lusaka.
Dr Mumba is scheduled to visit Chisokone Market in Kitwe today and have a rally in Ndola.

Ask yourself where is EDGAR C. LUNGU’s Law firm? and his practicing licence? Closed and revoked respectively. He mismanaged and pocketed clients money. In short he failed to run his own firm due to being a crook. Nevers had his own issues too, so stop being one-eyed person looking at Nevers while you close one on Edgar.

A Harvard University fellow, says the ruling Patriotic Front party – PF has unequaled mathematical advantage to scoop next week’s epic 20 January Presidential poll by a very wide margin, irrespective of how well the inordinately over-confident opposition United Party for National Development -UPND would perform.
Buoyant with the highest mathematical advantage, Harvard University graduate and Chief Policy Analyst at Cabinet Office, Mwamba Peni, says the ruling party, PF, is in clear pole commanding winning posture in next Tuesday’s Presidential elections because the party has a very strong electoral support vote base well in excess of 2,026,966 more than the inordinately over-confident opposition UPND.

A well managed firm doesnt necessarily need the MD to be always in office, his associates and junior lawyers should be doing the job for the firm. It takes gross misconduct for LAZ to revoke a Practicing Licence from a practicing lawyer – Edgar Lungu passed that threshold (Thats how bad he was). In short, he bleached his clients trust and brought the profession in disrepute. Its all about trust.
Kwati like so

Joe Bidden Is Right And Wrong On The Other Side. Lets Talk About The Three. Edger , Mumba And Hh. All At Fault. Edger ‘s Law Firm Closed Because He Squandered Clients Money -(fault). Mumba Turns His Back On The Call By God, Rejected The Call -(fault). Hh Stole Government(country) Money From The Sale Of Zccm -(fault). They Are All The Same. But We Have Intrusted Edger With So Many Government Duties Which He Has Shown To Us That He Is Able. Mumba Was Once Vice President, He Didnt Prove To Be A Leader, He Was Fired By Mwanawasa. Hh Has No Governancy Exprience And He Thinks He Can Buy The Zambian People With The Same Money He Stole From Them (ask Victoria Kalima). This Clearly Shows That, Of The Three, Edger Lungu Can Be Given A Second Chance. Vote For Pf Pa Bwato. Efintu Ni Lungu.
