…UPND govt has sold itself to foreign interests
Lusaka… Friday, February 3, 2023 (Smart Eagles)
Patriotic Front (PF) National Chairperson for Information and Publicity Raphael Nakacinda has said it is becoming obvious that there is a possibility for the PF to bounce back into power in 2026.
Hon Nakacinda based his sentiments on lack of economic recovery direction under the UPND government which has resulted into the high cost of living and high cost of doing business in the country, among other factors.
The PF MCC said the UPND government has sold itself to foreign interests.
He added when he featured on YAR Radio in Kitwe today that President Hakainde Hichilema has no originality of ideas on governance that is why he is being told by foreigners on what to do.
“This government has sold itself to foreign interests and that is how come Mr Hakainde Hichilema has no originality of ideas. He is being told by Americans and others on what he needs to do. The bad governance and economy is affecting everybody. Ours is to speak for the people of Zambia. That is the mandate that the opposition is given, to provide checks and balances. And to that effect we are the voice of those who may not have the opportunity to come on radio and speak for themselves,” he said.
“We interact with the people on the ground, we get their submissions, they come to our offices, they come to our homes, we interact through political mobilization and so on and they tell us what the issues are. Coupled with our policies, we come and articulate. All I can say is that moving forward as Patriotic Front, we are very determined to make sure that the programs we begin to present to the Zambian people will not be a set of lies but realistic policies and promises that we have delivered before and we are only coming to improve from there.”
He explained that PF’s plan was in the first five to 10 years focus on infrustracture development, in preparation of the process of industrialization.
Hon Nakacinda accompanied former National Development Planning Minister Alexander Chiteme.
