My person of the the year, of the last few years actually, is Minister of Finance and Planning, Situmbeko Musokotwane!
What a professional! What a hard worker! What a skilled human being!
He has managed to keep an economy, that barely had a pulse, alive.
Found money for social spending – free education, meal allowances for students, social cash transfer – when he could have been excused for throwing up his hands in the air and saying – muganiza nizazichosa kuti ndalama.
He has made the Ministry of Finance a proactively informative entity – publishing all information on the economy that citizens need.
I love that he steers clear of our mind numbing political drivel.
We are yet to feel the results of his hardwork in our pockets, but I am sure we will.
Kudos Minister, and thank you!


If only the Ministry could up its game of disseminating simple information
to former members of parliament like sensio banda who actually still believes
and publicly announces to the world that Zambia’s economy is collapsing!
Can the Ministry do more to help people, both idiots and normal former MPs like
sensio banda to understand that the economy is not collapsing now. What we are
experiencing are mismatches between a growing economy and citizens feeling the growth
by prices stabilising or staying down.
Help the majority who cant understand including former mp for kasenengwa sensio banda. He lost the seat.
I am now wondering whether he didnt lose the seat because people discovered whom he really was.
An object, empty, and something that would never have delivered kasenengwa people anywhere.
How would you rate such a person in english and any other language….
Yes, Mr. Musokotwane is the unsung hero of our economic recovery. He is walking the same road Mr. Ronald Penza walked under Mr. FJT Chiluba.
Unfortunately, if Mr. Musokotwane for one reason or another does not continue the recovery journey, the one who will reap the accolades will be his successor, when the benefits of his hard work translates into a higher standard of living for all.
Mr. Musokotwane has run a disciplined enterprise and we must acknowledge his critical contribution to the stabilising of our economy.
Well done Mr. Musokotwane and thank you for your selfless service to our nation.
