Indigo = Satan nyoko
We remember you fooling Zambians to believe that the cost of living was low and yet you subjected them to prices that were not real through subsidies. This was like incubating the economic reality. As a result, you left a huge credit on petroleum products, you borrowed heavily to an extent of failing to pay back. A task the New Dawn government which you hate so much has taken up by restructuring the debt and paying back the reckless nkongoles on your behalf. President Mwanawasa reduced the debt only for you to escalate them, what confusion entered your head?
You were not strong enough to sort out problems on economy by hiding behind subsidies destroying the same economy to negative 2.6% of GDP. Mealie meal costed less, petrol and diesel costed less but the real problem was camouflaged to the citizens who think you were a better President and yet the opposite is the case. The better person is the one managing your mess, paying your nkongoles and making sure he does not fall in the pit of going the route you went economically. Assuming you left a better economy, Zambia would be much, much better by now with this President. Let the lady surrender what belongs to the Zambians, same for you. Do not hide away you need to come back, face the law here at home.
Amwapeeeeelllliiiiinnnng that this woman celebrates her next birthday in prison.
