Mwila claims UPND MPs for Katuba, Mpongwe, Kapiri are double dealing with PF
PF Secretary General Davies Mwila has charged that UPND members of parliament Aubrey Kapalasa, Rasfold Bulaya and Stanely Kakubo are sellouts who should not be trusted by their leader Hakainde Hichilema as they have been double dealing with the ruling party. But Kakubo says it’s cowardice for Mwila to accuse him of being a sellout when the two have never met, adding that he has no time for PF money. Kapalasa on the other hand, says Mwila is a “failure” and that his statements should not be taken seriously. In an interview, Mwila said PF would have an easy win.......

PF must be joking on Iris Kaingu, Jay Jay Banda
ONE would have thought we had hit rock bottom as a country in terms of low calibre leadership in government. With the election and subsequent appointment into Cabinet of people like Honourable Bowman Lusambo, one would say this was Zambia at its worst. But apparently, the worst is yet to come. The adoption of Iris Kaingu as the ruling party’s candidate for Mwandi Constituency, as announced by Patriotic Front Secretary General Davies Mwila, makes interesting reading. We are also aware of a pending decision by the party in government to adopt an unrepentant thug in the name of Emmanul Jay.......

PF don’t need a manifesto, Zambians will judge them by their deeds – FODEP
THE Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) says it’s unnecessary for the PF to present a manifesto to convince the Zambian people to vote for them, saying the people will judge them by their failures or successes in government. The PF was set to unveil its 2021-2026 manifesto yesterday. In an interview, FODEP Executive Director George Chimembi said it was the opposition that needed to worry about a manifesto while the ruling party needed to do self introspection. “FODEP is of…….
Govt will not increase number of FISP beneficiaries, Wina explains
VICE-PRESIDENT Inonge Wina has revealed that government has no intentions of increasing the number of beneficiaries on the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP), as it would be undergoing review to ascertain its prudence. And Vice-President Wina says the PF is proud of the elections it carried during its general conference as there was nothing sinister about the manner members of the Central Committee were ‘elected’. During her question and answer session in Parliament, Friday, Vice-President Wina announced that government would…….

Chipolopolo’s AfCON 2021 journey: From one time winner to three time flops
No amount of grandstanding or attempt to divert attention with some feeble explanation will erase the ignominy of Zambia’s failure to qualify to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. It’s no longer news to remind ourselves this is a third consecutive failed attempt at a competition we once thought was a birthright. Records show we have made 17 trips out of 32 editions. With 17 appearances, 7 less than table-toppers Egypt, Zambia accounts for three final appearances translating into one….
Revitalizing Agriculture in Zambia: How can Wheat deliver Hope?
In my previous Monday Opinion, I argued wheat can be a wonder crop that can deliver gains at different points despite continued neglect in policy and practice. I ended on an optimistic note that sector related bottlenecks vis a vis wheat can be addressed through a review of the sector, highlighting where government Kwachas can effectively be invested beyond traditional crops. In this feature, I explore various steps that can help to lay preconditions for the agriculture sector more broadly....
