It looks like RB is doing well running the country. In the USA we have a saying that goes: “If it aint broke don’t fix it.” Maybe this dude should be given another term after all. Of course my number one choice in this race is HH. He has a vision and he is a proven performer. Zambia needs him badly. Vote wisely. Vote HH or RB. Vote often and vote early.

EVERY income must be taxable! Reduce the tax (percentage) for low income earners, but don’t get rid of it. Zambia needs money, a lot of money for infrastructure development, schools, hospitals, orphanages etc … [And PLEASE, don’t shoot me:)]

the proposed tax exemption upon retirement is low because one has say worked for 25 yrs and has been paying tax and u still expect him to pay more on the terminal benefits.a figure above k50m is better of so that the person remains with some money to begin from in retirement.

What about Windfall tax. I hear Konkola owners are building a University called Konkola University in India. When is Zambian government putting up a new university after all the copper we have so that we can call it RB University?

I am a bit dissapointed by these CSOs. How can they recommend tax exemption from K1 million to K1.3 million? Are they not these same CSO that tell us that the basic needs basket is somewhere around K2 million? The tax exemption should be increased to match the basic needs basket. For how long will Zambans sweat for politicians to come and benefit? Just look at the campaigns by MMD, the adoption processes in various parties were marred by corruption and money given to former MPs as gratuity, our own money, was used to bring confusion. We need to clean this Zambia of ours of dirty politics. God deliver us!
