When the Patriotic Front came into power they created a government investment portfolio in the name of Industrial Development Corporation (IDC). This brilliant entity was intended to serve as an investment holding company, under which parastatal institutions would operate. The IDC was to drive industrialisation and thereby reduce the unemployment rate. After careful analyses, PF...

We have followed the beef going on between Lusaka lawyer Lewis Mosho and Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) Director General Mary Tshuma. What seems like a private conflict involving two professionals is in fact a national battle between good and evil. Until last week when he laid out charges against Tshuma, we wondered what Mr Mosho...

It seems one of the biggest mistakes that President Edgar Lungu has made, is the appointment of Felix Mutati as the Minister of Finance. We are sorry to say this, but much as we may love to hear him speak, he is just that – a sweet talker. To be frank, Mutati is to a...

And true to the perception that Chinese products are not durable, eight Zambia Police recruits from China went to sleep as Police Commissioners and Superintendents on Monday but woke up as civilians on Tuesday. Too bad for those who don’t have a sense of humour because they will die twice under the PF regime; the...

The narrative that exists regarding the dangers of police work in our country continues to create a sense of fear among people.

We have noted with growing concern the manner in which State House officials express themselves when responding to criticism thrown at the Head of State. Although it is their obligation to defend actions and decisions made by the President, presidential advisors need to watch their mouths. It is obvious that in and around State House,...

Many people who are fed up with the Patriotic Front feel 2021 is too far to wait before they can vote again. They want the PF out of government like yesterday. We understand their frustrations because they are barely surviving. An average Zambian today has to sin in order to put food on the table...

“It has become quite clear to everybody; anyone who has cared to study the Constitution has come to the conclusion that our 2016 amendment of the Constitution was hurriedly done,” so says Minister of Justice Given Lubinda. He adds that this is not a time for anyone to apportion blame, but to acknowledge the fact...
