  My looks have changed. I have laugh lines, not wrinkles. I walk slowly because I am finally in a place where I don't have to rush from one place to the next. I can enjoy what I'm engaged in and be fully present rather than planning my answers to questions while someone else is speaking or thinking about my next appointment while my current engagement is still in in progress. Everything doesn't have to go my way (although let's be honest--aren't you happier when it does? Just kidding. Ok, not really).  And I wear what I want to because my style doesn't define me; it's a mere expression of myself but not the whole kit and kaboodle.  I've changed internally as I've gotten older. I take it easy. I know when to stop and take care of myself. I laugh much more and with my belly and soul. But this comes from confidence and acceptance that comes with maturity.  I hope for all of you who are celebrating a birthday that you all love every delicious bite of yo...

Colleagues, we are almost there! The journey to getting a resolution on our country’s debt restructuring is at the tail end. Additionally, we have canceled over US$2 billion or K32.8 billion in undisbursed loans borrowed for projects that were not as critical and urgent in developing our country. This decision will reduce our future debt service, thereby lessening pressure on our national budget and directing those resources to more deserving areas. The fiscal space, or room in our national budget, that will be created as a result of the restructured debt portfolio that we have waited years for, will indeed be deployed to social services and developmental areas that will provide tangible benefit to our people at individual and household levels. Mwali tu fwantamo, apa nomba ku bomba! Bally #NombaTubombe

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.

 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
