@EscobarChim True the power problem is a legacy issue but all it takes is one administration to say we will do it differently. Things I was hoping to see
- Addressing inefficiencies in Zesco
- Major clean up of the pay roll
- senior staff remuneration
- breaking up zesco into 3 (not selling)

@miyoba_nyirenda @MusaMwenye It is simple we are paying for this road upfront from Napsa and on the back end.

All aspects detours signage dust suppression are on the contract. If these are not done then they should be removed from the IPC and the contractor should not be paid for that.

@HonMushimba I believe short term would be rooftop solar with net metering on a large scale through PPP.
Then medium term we go coal. While we use coal as an excuse to try and convince the IAEA to allow us to go nuclear.

@Pope_CJ1 @FMwenge Guys can you please educate me. What is a 24hr economy? I feel it sounds like a catchbphrase that doesn't mean much.
IMO nothing stops anyone from operating 24/7 apart from consumer mindset & spending capacity.
In 80's and early 90's we had factories in Ndola that ran 24/7.

@Space2013M The problem with Zambian opposition since the 2000's is their main priority is removing the incumbent and offering an alternative is secondary(if that)

[Mutepa Puta @tepsputa]

@ObiMalambo @Space2013M Don't judge him on followers, online. Online followers are a good barometer but the metric is flawed.
People with sensitive jobs won't click follow.
Zambians in general are not that active on X

@ngomabest196 I personally I have a mistrust in economics as a discipline. It feels like you can pump numbers into equations, so they justify the position you want.
In the end, Pa ground ta pa bepa.

@siphophiri If we understand that fundamentally democracy is flawed and accept that it is true, we can work with this flawed system & avoid it's pit falls.
In Plato's Republic book 8 he explains how democracy breeds demagogues. Most dictators come to office by way of democracy and then...

[Mutepa Puta @tepsputa]

This doesn't make sense but then again. It explains a whole lot .

@SentimentalCook Ubuchushi ubla pela amano.
IMO, Zambia 🇿🇲 & 🇹🇿 relations were never strained, that we need the HoS's presence to smooth things over or the absence read as somthing negative. We sent MoFA to UNGA. 🇹🇿 would have understood.

A have boys been left behind in the pursuit of equal opportunity? Did we focus on equality instead of equity? Do we need to course correct?

@FMwenge IMO we have an ambasador who's job description is literally to represent the president, we also have a Minister of Forieign Afairs. If the situation is stickey The HoS can attend through a representative. And in this case we should have dine that.

@Space2013M What is categorized as domestic debt? Does this include money GRZ owes to local suppliers and contractors?

[Mutepa Puta @tepsputa]

@Space2013M GOLD!!!! let gold be a national security issue. Be radical about how it is handled we are bleeding your economy in the name of let everyone participate. We can build a sovereign wealth fund through gold.

@Dora_Siliya @khalila_ A lot of people miss the rationale of education.
From grade 1 to undergraduate it's not just about learning, it's about the other skills like problem solving and critical thinking that are developed along the way. Even KK and his team new the value of education.

@luchi7 I have no problem with the informal sector paying their fair share of taxes as long as we put equal effort in maximizing collections from the extractives.
Sort out transfer pricing before you come for the locals.

@Neene_Solomon The Kayfabe effect is so powerful & politicians are using it to their benefit & their hold on power.

[Mutepa Puta @tepsputa]

@InNyambeWeTrust @LankyObserver People have consistently told me that by me voting for the best candidate (IMO) is a waste of my vote and that I should vote for the opposition because it is the beat way to remove the incumbent.

We need to make an intellectual vote for who we think is the best.

@ukusefya @LindaKasonde I think the letters are her initials? Maybe?
