This is amidst the drought situation which has been declared as a state of emergency.
Mr. Hichilema says there is need to mop up money from other consumption related expenditure in the 2024 national budget.
He was speaking during a swearing in Ceremony at State House.
Those sworn in include Speaker of the National Assembly, Nelly Mutti and Home Affairs and Internal Security Minister, Jack Mwiimbu as State Counsels.
Good move Mr presido for heeding to what your friends have been advisig howbeit late.
This advise has been Knocking on your desk for a long time. Mulebako proactive as a strategic, methodical leader. Good decisiond made late are just as bad because a lot of costly unnecessary traveling has already been done. If the pf debt was as real as you lament about it, you should have instituted these measures immediately you assumed the reigns of power.
By the way first twebeniko how much did each government department incur on travel starting from your office up to the DC level so that we can also appreciate this huge cost.
Then tell us also how much do we anticipate to save when these measures are implemented.
This is what the great patriot the late John Pombe Magufuli (MHSRIEP) did immediately he assumed the presidency of Tanzania. He practiced what he preached. He was never a kamwendo munjila. Luckily his successor has maintained the stance. As a result Tanzania is not onlymaking huge savings but also good progress. The country recently launched an electric train whereas Zambia is failing to maintain a single track railway line.
Congratulations to Jack & Nelly. You deserve it.
MY WARMEST CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TWO DESERVED APPOINTEES. THIS APPOINTMENT ACTUALLY CAME TOO LATE FOR BOTH OF THEM. NONE-THE-LESS, MY HEARTFELT CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!!!
