From Zambian Economist Sat Aug 2 2014, 00:05:00

"They are preaching bad omen against the President but at the same time they want to see him ... we want to ask through our party leadership at national level not to allow this to happen because their thinking is negative. The calls for the opposition to meet the President are in bad faith and should not be condoned because the President is working as he should be in line with the mandate that the Zambian people gave to him and the PF"

(PF Kapiri Mponshi)

"We will have zones in various districts. We will control [marijuana] by using it for commercial purposes...It will not only bring in money [around $15 billion annually] but we are going to employ about 300, 000 youths which will benefit the country. We are going to abolish the Drug Enforcement Commission. We won't need it and their functions can be taken by other law enforcement agencies."
