BRIAN MUNDUBILE VOWS AND PLEDGES TO CANCEL STUDENTS LOAN DEBTS ONCE ELECTED
Presidential candidate Brian Mundubile has pledged that a government under his leadership will cancel all outstanding student loans and improve welfare support for students in higher learning institutions.
Speaking on the BM8 Unfiltered programme on Thursday, Mundubile said it was unfair to expect graduates to repay bursary loans when many of them remain unemployed after completing their studies.
He said his administration would maintain meal allowances for students and increase them to match the rising cost of living, ensuring that students are adequately supported during their academic journey.
Mundubile also promised that his government would complete all development projects that he claimed the UPND administration had failed to finish.
Mundubile was responding to President Hakainde Hichilema’s recent remarks questioning what the former ruling party would seek to achieve if returned to power.
According to Mundubile, his government would focus on improving the lives of students, creating opportunities for graduates, and accelerating the completion of key infrastructure and development projects across the country.
This Mundubile man seems to think government is a bottomless pit to dish out money like there is no tomorrow?
Student debt is a “revolving funding mechanism” that ensures that future students get loans.
Imagine if banks behaved the same. Gave out loans and the loans were never paid. Would they still be in business five or ten years down the line?
Once elected would Mundubile be able to fulfill his promises? Or would this country be bankrupt like the previous regime? Who advises this man? Clearly we have people around Mundubile that dont understand how government is run and these unsustainable promises are simply lies….the simple question Mundubile should answer is where will the money come from?
Kaponyanomics for real…
They have heard about 6.something billion foreign reserves and they’re not sleeping. They failed to provide meal allowances, now that the economy is showing signs of recovery, they want to come and finish where they left off. It won’t happen. Ati I rule like lungu. Now you can see what they mean
Aba ama guys Ba wrong!
