Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>President Edgar Chagwa Lungu writes:<\/p>\n

Good afternoon, colleagues, and comrades,<\/p>\n

This morning, while scrolling through my social media feeds, I came across a post and tag in my full names from a #ChomaYouthAdvocate<\/p>\n

In the post, my dear young man is seen holding shreds of vegetables, onions, two eggs, and finger size plastic filled cooking oil looking like substance with a caption: \u201cEdgar Chagwa Lungu ndelombako iya pamela fye at least I have Saladi K4, eggs K5, vegetables K2 and tomatoes K4 ino pamela biyo\u201d.<\/p>\n

With the current excruciating high cost of living adversely affecting more than 64% of our poor people in Zambia, I surely understand the challenges our citizens are going through.<\/p>\n

Since you appealed for help from me as your humble servant through this post, I will ensure that my wife and I do everything we can do in line with our Biblical teachings in Matthew 7:7-8 to help in some ways.<\/p>\n

Therefore, my dear wife Esther and I would like to confirm that we will arrange to buy you a 25kg bag of mealie meal instead of \u201cka pamela\u201d. I will add some groceries plus a small business start-up capital of K5,000.<\/p>\n

God bless you son, and let\u2019s keep praying for Mother Zambia.<\/p>\n
