State House says contrary to the story in the Post that President Edgar Lungu was booed during his visit to Livingstone yesterday, Livingstone residents cheered the Head of State as he motorcade made its way to AVANI Victoria Falls Resort.
Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda says State House will to this effect be releasing a video to counter the story in the Post.

Amos Chanda
He says the evidence is already there in the video that people in Livingstone were in fact cheering President Lungu.
Mr. Chanda adds Police were in fact overwhelmed by the number of the cheering Livingstone residents they had to keep away from the road as President Lungu’s motorcade passed through the central business district.
He says if the Post Newspaper is disputing these facts, State House dares the newspaper to produce its own video to counter these facts.
And the presidency says with the exception of the Livingstone story, it will no longer react to any negative article the Post Newspapers publishes on government and President Edgar Lungu.
Mr. Chanda says State House has now concluded that the Post Newspapers publishes incorrect information which has become a norm.
He has told journalists today that this is evidenced by how each time the Post quotes someone criticizing State House; the quoted sources call State House to refute the newspapers’ articles.
Mr. Chanda says this is why State House has resolved not to ever allow itself to be dragged into the alleged falsehoods of the Post Newspaper.

  1. pipo dont even waste time if he was booed or not dont 4get our comrade, may M.H.R.I.P the crowd puller bt after 90min loss… wait 24hrs or 90min will tell

  3. Ba Lungu kuwayawayafye bu president bwakutola nififine even RB it was the same. HH is very popular now here on the copperbelt no wonder pf regime sent thugs to cause confusion

  4. it serves no purpose to debate trivialities. The greatest concern should be our appraisal of the PF government’s performance over the last five years. That should be the criterion that informs our debate. Our assessment of this man and his team is of foremost importance. We should transcend the ‘idolatory’ we often engage in and bring out the yardstick to place judgement on their performance as caretakers of our economy, and as such our welfare. Stemming from what our convictions are about the functioning of a democratic dispensation, we should juxtapose and compare the condition of our country before and after this government took office.It is blatant to see, that beyond our puritanical,bigotted and even tribal inclinations and affinities, a lot has been done wrong in the management of this country and as per the objective character of democracy; we have the right to eject from power those that have failed to improve the welfare of the nation. Lest we forget, that is why they are in those offices. Not for us to argue about their looks, human deficiencies and what have you. Whether this man was booed or not is of no great concern if we do not reflect on the importance of having good leadership and governance. So beyond the sensationalism and childish politicking as someone has rightly put it, we should be all attuned to the great responsibility we have before us as voters, citizens and taxpayers to play our part as the most important stakeholders in this country. We are on the cusp of a cataclysm and we have only one chance to correct it. Introspect wisely!

  5. Jehovah God knows the next president,if u wnt to know him ask God, stop arguing because your arguements wil not Change God’s will.
