Local govt ministry officials bought plenty of cars. Mayors have expensive cars.
I think the President was talking about Gary Nkombo but was scared of mentioning his name when he expressed disappointment that some ministers and permanent secretaries had failed to deliver on their mandates

In reply to Deja Vu.

Why don’t u ask why Kasama Municipal Council is reportedly unable to pay salaries for nine months? Are you telling me none of the commercial real estate owners in Kasama is paying their rates? What about property taxes on residential real estate? Are you telling me that there’s no revenue whatsoever from the new bus station in Kasama? You may not know the answer, but you can ask the right questions.

Very sensible suggestion. But you know why it doesnt sway me? If we empower ZNS noone will notice. They will think its the army that came up with such a brilliant idea. Its not like if I confiscated some illegal brew called Kachasu and forcibly dropped it down the throat of the son of the brewer. That would attract media attention to me see?

For the first time you have said something sensible. In our farming area the ZNS used to maintain the feeder roads not only on time but also to acceptable standards. I don’t know why this was changed to the council which doesn’t seem to be interested. The roads are now impassable.
