Fuel goes up - The Zambian Observer

Iyi issue yamafuta nayena i think yalatushupa saana. Because things will now all go up otherwise the prices of goods will automatically again surge. So even the transporters, manufacturers, suppliers of goods and services for them to reduce the prices of their goods it will just not work out. This i see it and they will have a point under sowhatever Their planning is always being disturbed; they have been crying to government to look into these issues but we don’t just know as to why..They have always said that they cannot plan properly because the price of fuel is unpredictable every month there upwards adjustments- forget about the brief twonpast months changes and mostly it is up ward.

I repeat, I doubt if transporters, suppliers of goods and services will by any means even dream of reducing prices instead we will soon see the surge in the prices of goods ànd services again.

I can’t just understand why our government can not listern to stakeholders request of adjusting fuel pump price quately? Because it will at least give them planning space vut the way it is i feel very bad because a comman person in a compound will not understand whatever ecplaination to be given in whatever form. This is just too bad.

Iyi yena nayimpwisha namaka. Because uuummm. Kaya chabe. These are just problems we are inviting for ourselves,
1. Fuel no sign of stanliising im prices but we say one foundamenta/ pillar which aften contribute to fuel price increase is the exchange rate. Keacha to a dolla = $1=23.60++
2. The so called pipe from dare to Ndola no benefits being acrued.
3. Ukrain war no much of an issue then why.

Again Electricity.
1. The issue of water we are now quite we don’t know the level of wster at KARIBA DAM
2. Electricity the 100 chisama solar megawats plus the Maamba coal additional projects it is just mentenace we hesr every day. No improvements in the loadshading hour reduction. What is wrong kanshi.

3. ZNS and Kalonga meal mill still at K240/K230 break fast and roller at K190 /K200. When are they also reducing to below K200 mwebantu.

Time is of inssence but fuel kwena AIKONA mwee . I doubt if things will reduce i doubt and this is not good for most ordinarly perdon who are im majority edpecially im urban arrsd. Thecommon perion are at times if not always affected by such unchanging polocies if they are and especially this time we are in and graduating fast . Very sad indeed. I hope and trust somthing have to be worked on before the end of the year otherwise. Uuuummmm. I am afraid

Nice one Hakainde. Did you not produce graphs about how you would make sure fuel would cost K12 per litre if we elected you? You said you would cut out the middleman, but it looks like you have added an army of middlemen all getting hefty commissions. You and your friends must be benefitting. Enjoy it while it lasts. Next year, we will show you the door.

REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.

VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.

Reductions were done in small figures but increment is by big margin.All the reduction
Which was expected on goods will not happen.
Is the formula of increment then reductions
Working?
