Umutomboko Traditional Ceremony 2022.







Umutomboko means a dance of victory or dance of. conquest. In narrating the origin and importance of. Umutomboko, one has to link this important ceremony. with days when the Lunda crossed the Luapula River.

The people of Mwansabombwe invite all visitors to experience this uniquely African occasion promising a rich cultural experience. The ceremony not only features traditional dances by the Royal Family but traditional Lunda and Luba feasts, as well as a taste of the fascinating history of the Lunda people. The Lunda tribe divorced from the Lunda state of the Mwata Yamvo in The DRC in late 17th Century and settled in the Luapula Valley in Zambia where they now reside.

Fellow citizens. This afternoon we held bilateral talks with our sister, Her Excellency President Samia Suluhu Hassan of the United Republic of Tanzania which focused on deepening historical ties in many sectors of the two countries. The key areas our discussion centered on, included rehabilitating the TAZARA railway line with the view of enhancing trade and business opportunities between the two countries.

We also have a lot to learn in the way the Tanzanian authorities have organised small scale miners from licensing, extraction, and finding markets for the minerals as we embark on empowerin...

Today we commissioned the Kafue Bulk Water Supply Project in Kafue District which aims at improving the provision of clean water for Lusaka residents.

  While this water is important for our people in Lusaka urban, we feel the Kafue residents who are host to this water reservoir and installation should equally benefit by having clean water in their households.  We urged the water utility companies across the country to find more innovative ways of efficiently and effectively using this water. For example, once water has been used in our households, we should find ways to harness it again for other uses such as agriculture purposes.   We expressed our appreciation to President Xi Jinping and the People’s Republic of China for this US$150 million (K2.4 billion) water plant which symbolises their sincerity in pursuit of the greater good and our shared interest to improving the quality and standard of life for all our people.

President Hakainde Hichilema instructs Minister of Finance, Dr Musokotwane.

Image
 I have instructed the Minister of Finance, Dr Musokotwane to request parliament to approve a supplementary budget of about K22 billion arising from financial prudence. This makes 2022 budget circa K195bn as opposed to K123bn in the previous year.  This extra generated revenue will be used to increase funding towards fertiliser support programme, dismantle arrears for suppliers and contractors, payment of retirees and more road construction. The resources have been allocated to benefit our citizens and generate more revenue as opposed to lavish lifestyles in private jets, VXs, and outright looting.  We said Zambia had resources, what was missing was prudent management of resources. We therefore hope your MPs will support the supplementary budget. It's NOT nkongole, it's surplus, elyashi. Bally
