South African Health Minister tweeted that #Coronavirus has been detected in Zambia. Hours later, we have no response from Zambia. This is very serious issue and could lead to Zambians being blocked from travelling to most parts of the world. It deserves the urgency!
When citizens start believing a lie even when government clarified the "fake news", means citizens losing faith in government communication. They no longer trust government statements or government statements are not getting to the people while rumours do...#passport fees!
The biggest pilferage is procurement! And then senior government officials trips...not much on salaries as they are meagre! A ream of paper is sold four times higher than the price in shops! And then the monster in the room - repairs of government vehicles at private dealership!
I must be doing something right! The number of Christmas presents (bottles especially) received this year have surpassed previous years - record only beaten by my State House days - which was artificial life, anyway.
Thanks to all! And merry Christmas friends!
Friend: DJ, what do you miss about State House?
Me: "Receiving free newspapers every morning."
Friend: Really?"
Me: Yes! I hate buying newspapers.
Friend: "And what don't you miss about State House?"
Me: "December, attending annual balls for the defence and security forces".
The ATM at Manda Hill is taking out K50 notes. There is a long queue. And this man in front keeps counting and recounting the notes of every bunch of money coming out of the ATM and oblivious of the long queue behind him...he must have very serious trust issues... #mpyompyo Tah!
