Lungu congratulates HH on debt restructuring, wishes Zambia the best of luck

By Phanuel Sampa.

Former President Edgar Lungu has expressed his profound satisfaction with the recently concluded debt restructuring process and has wished his successor, President Hichilema, the best of luck.

Impeccable sources within the government and the PF faction he leads have confirmed that the former President expressed his happiness at a Central Committee meeting held yesterday. He advised skeptics to recognize and appreciate success, even when it is achieved by an opponent.

This rare gesture of acknowledgment by a leader who led the country into a debt crisis may be opposed by hardliners within his faction and his alliance peers who have opposed President Hakainde Hichilema at every turn.

It remains to be seen whether Lungu’s act will be interpreted as a softening of his intense dislike for a successor to whom he lost power, and whom he has vowed to oust in the 2026 elections.

  1. God help our children and grand children that will be forced to pay off this debt.

    Now they will start borrowing again.

    Vote wisely in 2021.

    • @indigotyrol you can’t be opposed to everything the current government does. Surely there must be some good no matter how further apart. See day and night are diametrically opposed yet they meet during the solar eclipse. With you there’s no any form of eclipse, this is truly unnatural.

  2. I like the last sentence in the Article. Some Bloggers can learn something from that, assuming they have ever had capacity to learn!

  3. There can be only ONE father of the nation. That tite belongs to the late first President of Zambia, Dr. Kenneth D. Kaunda, fondly referred to as KK or Super Ken. He is the one who was in charge when Zambia was born (got her independence).

    You cannot have multiple fathers of the nation. The rest are mere former presidents.

    Mr. Lungu doesnot even qualify to be referred to as an elder statesman considering his dismal record and questionable conduct even after leaving the presidency. .

  4. If this story is true, I congratulate both Mr ECL and President HH. I CONGRATULATE BOTH THESE MEN BECAUSE MR ECL DID THE RIGHT THING BY GIVING KUDOS WHERE THEY ARE AND I CONGRATULATE PRESIDENT HH BY ACCEPTING THE KUDOS. THIS IS HOW THINGS MUST ALWAYS BE. THANK YOU MY LEADERS!!!
