DON’T EXPECT MIRACLES, MAGANDE URGES ZAMBIANS … PF destroyed this country to the core
Former finance minister Ng’andu Magande says It’s expecting miracles to expect a government that has never been in power and is only three months old, to clear all the debt and arrest all the corrupt people, in a country “that was destroyed to the core.”
Speaking with Daily Revelation, Magande said what he saw during the PF reign was something he had never experienced before, saying it will take time to clear the mess.
“I have come to a conclusion that what Zambia has gone through the last 10 years, really is something that I never expected.

It’s not easy.”
Magande said “Zambia has really been destroyed to the core”, by the previous administration.

But where you have so many contracts in one part of the country doing work, how do you say that is normal? And now you realise that some of the Infrastructure that was announced by the president it was not followed up by the same PF when president Lungu came up,” Magande said. “There is a road I hear I think Chama and I think somewhere in the north there, where the contractor started cutting up the hills, when the other president came in he didn’t follow up that project. But how much money was spent? So corruption is not changing of money it’s also doing projects which don’t make sense, not following rules.”
Magande said just because people had not seen arrests did not mean that there was no wrongdoing in the previous administration… continue http://dailyrevelationzambia.com/dont-expect-miracles-magande-urges-zambians-pf-destroyed-this-country-to-the-core/
