Lungu Promises a Different Kind Of Politics

Republican President Edgar Lungu says he wants to bring a difference in the way politics are being done in the country.

Speaking when he met Chiefs from southern province at Sinazeze primary school in Sinazongwe district this morning, President Lungu says unlike some politicians who want power to enrich themselves, he wants to serve the people because leaders are servants of the people.

President Lungu says he wants to ensure that the lives of the people of Zambia are improved so that the people can have a sense of belonging.

He says currently, there is a lot of talk, but urged the traditional leaders not to have sleepless nights as a result of this talk because those talking are merely politicking.

President Lungu has further reiterated his desire to reduce the high levels of poverty in the country.

And speaking on behalf of the chiefs, Chief Singani urged President Lungu to continue developing the nation stressing that they are aware that development cannot happen in a day.

The traditional leader says Chiefs in southern province are grateful for the appointment of Sinazongwe Member of Parliament Richwell Siamunene as defence minister.

Traditional leaders present included Chief Mukuni, Chief Chipepo, Chief Sinazongwe and Chief Sindaba.

The president is in district to commission works on the bottom road.

    Really wonder if this trash of a semblance of a president is normal!All the nonsensical political episodes such as shootings,name calling,witch-hunting,lies,corruption,nepotism,crushing them like a brick crushing machine,harassing & intimidating political perceived rivalries & unjustified arrests of opposition leaders & many more diabolical inhumane activities is what he calls fimofimo- stupid primitive creature!No wonder Zambia is being cursed under his era,too much hypocrisy & God has given Zambia his back!

      You sound so bitter. Did you eat anything today? Edgar is not responsible for putting a meal on your table. All he can do is improve infrastructure and create opportunities.

    The PF is using Charles Dawin’s theory,survival of the fitest,only finacial heavy weights will survive & direct beneficiaries like cadres who are paid.

    Too late lungu. You had a chance. This is not time to start politicking. The people will judge you on their situation on the ground. Viva upnd

  8. Natalia   September 16, 2015 at 9:56 pm

    Iwe Lungu-you have completely failed.Even your wife knows that fact. What change can you bring apart from promoting corruption with chi RB. Thats why even your party is being led by empty charlatans in the name of Chama and Mumbi. Just shut up if you have nbothing better to say and continue drinking Jameson. There’s no change that you can bring

  9. eddy   September 16, 2015 at 10:03 pm

    PF failure is only felt in the opposition’s toilets as majority Zambians are very much in support of PF and president Lungu!!this is how a president must be,always preaching peace,love for one another and spearheading development across Zambia!!THE OPPOSITION ARE IN FOR IT AS COME 2016,THEY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO CAMPAIGN ABOUT BCOZ HARD WORKING PF IS FAR AHEAD OF THEM!!MAY GOD CONTINUE BLESSING PRESIDENT LUNGU AND ZAMBIA!!

            Upnd cadres insisting they are in this group to help us change our minds about ECL but my surprise is that wen we post pics of kasaka they are quick to insult and call names but wen it comes to real debate about tha economy and their vision everyone goes mute.they call us dull but iv neva heard any upnd cadre tell us what tha they will do to stop loadsheding or what is needed to stabilise tha kwacha.so I wonder do they blindly follow kasaka becoz his rich or becoz they are his tribes men

  10. kubweka   September 16, 2015 at 11:22 pm

    how possible is it that the President can change the politics of this country and stop the suffering of the poor when he flies all over the world and even in his own country he uses a helicopter to get from province to province. He has a huge cabinet, moves with half the ministers wherever he goes, his wife is going around campaigning for him at a high cost for her allowances and a high fee for her entourage????? come on do they think all Zambians are illeterate?

    • New Educated Zambia©❤√   September 17, 2015 at 7:37 am

      Ask them my dear. They taking Zambians for a ride. Do not worry yourself too much as their days are numbered. Concentrate on making sure your voters card ready

    What the Law says on Public Assemblies…

    (a) for which a permit is required under
    subsection (4) of section five and which
    takes place without the issue of such
    permit; or
    (b) in which three or more persons taking
    part neglect or refuse to obey any
    direction or order given under subsection
    (3) or (7) of section five;
    shall be deemed to be an unauthorised
    assembly, and all persons taking part in such
    assembly, meeting or procession and, in the
    case of an assembly, meeting or procession
    for which no permit has been issued, all
    persons taking part in convening, calling or
    directing such assembly, meeting or
    procession may be arrested without a
    warrant and
    shall on conviction be liable to a fine not
    exceeding one thousand five hundred
    penalty

      what method is he going to bring load shading to normal levels.
      how is he going to bring dollar to 3.5/$

  18. harishon   September 17, 2015 at 10:57 am

    Let’s work hard as Zambians. There’s much to do as opposed to politicking. Most of these politicians that we are looking up to have the same mission – to maintain their status or to gain more from poor Zambians! Just observe how much they invest in campaigns to gain power.!

    2.A new constitution before elections
    3 fresh brains to drive things forward

    • Rooftop Zulu   September 17, 2015 at 4:15 pm

      ……….and only HH has the qualities to do that…..NOT ECL.

      He has already proved he is incapable. These bloggers who support ECL will soon realise they are alone.

      The mood on the ground is different.

      I never voted in the last elections but I am more determined to vote FOR HH.

    takuli ba PF kuya bebele fye. what can he say ECL what physical structure can he show. Man of visionless. if they will win next election, it is because they have rigged which they benefit and pay more money to those riggers.

  31. observer   September 18, 2015 at 8:08 am

    HH was in the for front to privatize our mines and other parastatal companies which lead to the so many of our people to loose their jobs and eventual deaths, we lost so many people in the process.but now he want to pretend to be an Angel of life but he is not, he is an Angel of death we will not forget the misery our people passed through.if he was a visionary leader as he claim why didn’t he advise the then government not to go on with the privatization,because it killed our people,mind you he was a technocrat but today he want to hoodwink some week souls to vote for him.
