Citizens First (CF) leader Harry Kalaba says President Hakainde Hichilema and his administration are now talking about food security on account of the drought the country is experiencing when they offloaded and sold off strategic reserves from the 2019, 2020 and 2021 seasons.
In a press statement, Kalaba said Hichilema and his government are compromising the health of Zambians and food of the country.
“The UPND Government is now talking of food insecurity with the current drought. Yet when they came into power they found sufficient strategic reserves for 2019, 2020, and 2021 which they decided to offload and sell,” Kalaba stated. “Even this year, they have sold… https://dailyrevelationzambia.com/hh-now-bemoaning-drought-when-he-sold-off-strategic-reserves-kalaba/
Kalaba stop politicising the drought. It is way beyond human control. Better keep quiet if you have nothing to say.
Spot on!
Quite clearly Mr. Kalaba is attempting to gain political mileage from the unfortunate situation the country finds itself in.
Just like all the idiots in the UKWA bag, one wonders what kind of witches these are. Exporting maize under the circumstances was necessary to try and earn forex and mitigate the shortage which has been caused by the same thieves who are hiding stolen money in their ill gotten mansions.
Not even witches like you Kalaba knew that there will be drought this year. So amano yabuloshi teti yamipele ivoti bambuli imwe. STUPID IDIOTS.
Well, it is true that Hakainde sold off our maize reserves prematurely. All our previous presidents would never have sold the voters for a piece of fake silver.
Regarding planning, and general care for citizens, Hakainde has scored a big ZERO.
Lyonse mulanda fye pa muntu wakayele, what guarantee do have that maize stocks produced three seasons ago could still be there this time? Even if maize is not exported, ba simagula are there, may be they even smuggle more than what was exported and the government doesn’t benefit anything. Mr. Kalaba you talk as if you have never been in government before. Drought is just like death, it just comes, you don’t plan for it. We have told you many times that good and prudent leaders are known by the challenges they face and solve. That’s how Sir. Winston Churchill made a name when people saw how prudently he faced the war and effectively defended his country. We need such leaders with their bravery and I believe HH is one of such leaders. Hunger situation is not president’s problem alone but a national problem. Already HH is talking of irrigation while you are still talking of 2019/2020 season harvest. Think big, try to think outside the box and stop the blame game, we are a Christian nation, we need to believe and keep our faith in God who provides for his children even in a desert. If he doesn’t forget about the small creatures like sparrows, how can he forget about us? Murmurers never reached Canaan because they were very provocative to God, don’t be one of them. HH is a Moses and he needs Joshuas and Calebs, murmurings just bring delays, a journey of three months took them 40 years.
