10 REASONS WHY GOVERNMENT MAY BE TELLING LIES ABOUT THE IMF DEAL – TUTWA NGULUBE
1. WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE BY BALLY THEY MADE US BELIEVE THEY WERE BETTER THAN PF WHO FAILED TO CLINCH THE DEAL.
2. THE IMF HAS NEVER CONFIRMED THE DEAL NOR ANYONE FROM THE IMF SEEN OPENLY CONGRATULATING THEM
3. THE UPND HAVE SHIFTED THE DATE OF THE 3 TIMES FROM JANUARY 2022, TO APRIL 2022 AND NOW TO JUNE 2022
4. THE DEMEANOR OF THE FINANCE MINISTER AND THE CONFIDENCE WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE IMF HAS REDUCED TO STAMMERING
5.THE $ 1.4BN CANNOT SOLVE ZAMBIA’S PROMISES DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
6. GOVERNMENT HAS NOT EXPLAINED HOW IT WILL REPAY THE LOAN SINCE THE NEXT EUROBOND IS DUE IN AUGUST
7. WHILE IN OPPOSITION BALLY PAINTED A VERY BAD PICTURE OF THE COUNTRY AND NOW IS FAILING TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAS CHANGED AND THAT IS WHY HE IS BLAMING THE CIVIL SERVICE.
8. THE PLEA TO THE EU TO HELP ZAMBIA GET THE IMF DEAL JUST EXPOSES THE HOAX THAT YOU CANNOT PLEAD FOR A DEAL THAT HAS GONE THROUGH.
9. ZAMBIA DOESN’T NEED THE IMF DEAL BECAUSE THEY ARE USING PROPAGANDA TO GET A DEAL FROM CONMEN
10. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO REPAIR TO THE ZAMBIAN ECONOMY AND THAT IS WHY IT’S DIFFICULT TO GET THE DEAL THROUGH.
