“I DOUBT IF RESERVES EXIST”: AND YOU WANT TO LEAD ZAMBIA? THE LEVEL OF IGNORANCE IS DANGEROUS
Yesterday, a senior opposition figure stood before Zambians and said he “doubts” whether Zambia’s $6.5 billion foreign reserves even exist.Let that sink in. Ballynomics has thrown kaponyanomics into total disarray and confusion. It has exposed the kind of people we had in the 2016 to 2021 cabinet.
These reserves are not UPND figures. They are confirmed by the Bank of Zambia, the IMF, and the World Bank, the same institutions that report on every economy on earth, including the ones this man clearly never understood while he was busy collecting degrees that taught him nothing.
Zambia does not exist on an island. We are part of a global financial system. Reserves are tracked, audited, and verified internationally. You don’t get to “doubt” a fact confirmed by the world’s leading financial institutions unless you simply don’t understand how the global economy works. This is not a minor gaffe. This is disqualifying.
A man who cannot read a basic economic report, who cannot grasp what reserves are, why they matter, or how they’re verified, has no business anywhere near the presidency of this country. We are not looking for slogans. We are looking for competence, and on this, he has shown none. Bally has really raised the bar.
Zambians remember 2021. We remember reserves so low they barely covered weeks of imports. Today we sit at record highs built brick by brick under President Hichilema’s leadership. That is not rhetoric. That is verifiable, documented fact.
Ignorance should never sit in State House.

That is the reason why Dr kaunda Kenneth compared the then opposition to a frog,these opposition of nowadays they are just the same as vultures scrambling for a dead carcass which they did not hunt,ba pompwe bamushibila nsala,vote for upnd for continued peace and development in all parts of the country
Ba Doubting Thomas….thats how you will even miss going to heaven….
Makebi Zulu does not doubt that reserves exist, he knows that they do. But he wants to plant the doubt in Jelita and Mulenga’s minds. He wants the man in the street, the maketeer, the unemployed youth, the Jerabos and ignorant masses to doubt the truth. This is the modus operandi of Satan. It is an act from the very pitfalls of hell. Satan knew that Adam and Eve would die if they ate of the forbidden tree. But he succeeded in planting doubt into the minds of our ancestors. Satan knew that Jesus was the Son of God but he wanted to plant doubt in Jesus’ mind by saying, ‘IF you are the Son of God…’
This is what Makebi ‘macabre’ Zulu is doing. Do not be deceived by that angelic appearing face- there is evil behind those glasses. A man who will use a rotting corpse and lies about reserves for his nefarious ends is wrong for leadership of Zambia. May God protect Zambia. May God forgive those who are ungrateful and want to go back to the house of bondage, the house of slavish fearfulness of cadres, the house of corruption and crippling debt.
May God not give Zambia meat that will stink.
You continue doubting until you doubt no more, after all you don’t even know what foreign reserves are.
