HH OUTLINES VISION BEYOND AUGUST 13
AS ZAMBIA heads to the polls on August 13, President Hakainde Hichilema has shared his vision for the nation once re-elected – to grow provincial economies.
The head of State says this is the reason his administration is committed to setting up energy infrastructure in all regions of the country.
And President Hichilema says even naysayers are now privately acknowledging Zambia’s economic progress attained thus far under his administration.
The President was speaking yesterday when he opened the Continental Energy and Infrastructure Investment Forum (CEIIF) themed “Collaborate, Renew, Transition”.
CEIIF serves as a premier platform uniting industry leaders, policy-makers and investors to explore and catalyse opportunities within Africa’s energy and infrastructure sectors.
Hosted for the first time in Zambia, CEIIF has attracted participation from Botswana, South Africa and Zimbabwe, among other countries.
“God’s will, courtesy of the people, we have an election on the 13th of August, if we are re-elected in office, I have already said
“I have caveated God’s will courtesy of the people of Zambia who put leaders in office, we will be driving…. one of the key elements or thrust we are going to push are regional economies – provincial economies,” Mr Hichilema said.
“So, we need energy in each of our provinces in order to drive [a] regional economic agenda, which is part of our vision. So, this forum is so important in that context.”
He said Zambia’s economy is on the “move”.
“In our democratic dispensation, those who disagreed with us strongly and violently, we know that privately they acknowledge the progress that has been made. It’s very clear. We have no problem,” the head of State said.

I just want free education into law NOW!!! Before elections
A true leader takes an organisation in a clearly defined beneficial direction.
Growing regional (provincial) economies is a marvellous idea. Each province must be known for a definite income stream, contributing generously to the national economy. No free loaders.
Mr. President, you have my vote. I know you love and care for our country. You have put up a sterling performance so far given how far gone the country was after PF looters had their field day.
