I HAVE BEEN VINDICATED – MONDE
….over 10 years ago, I told colleagues in UPND that HH would never deliver as Head of State, they doubted
Lusaka, Wednesday, January 25, 2023 ( Smart Eagles )
Zambia has a bad driver in office and he will soon lead us into an accident, Patriotic Front Presidential candidate Greyford Monde has said.
Hon Monde said this when he featured on United Voice Radio Programme today in reference to President Hakainde Hichilema’s style of leadership
He said in as much as he would want President Hichilema to succeed, one year Five months is enough time for one to see that he has lamentably failed based on the Promises.
“Let’s rate them in terms of the ECONOMY, it is so bad. They Promised Cheaper Fuel, can we give them a tick on cost of fuel?, it has become expensive. In the energy sector, We have loadshedding and Zesco has increased the connection fees. That is killing people who would want to set up businesses. They promised us Cheaper mealie meal prices , it is now over K260. In my view he is a bad driver. We have gotten to the point where he has started off, but his driving is very shaky,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hon Monde has vowed never to work under the UPND Administration owing to differences in beliefs.
He said he believes in Pro poor policies while the UPND are capitalists.
“President Hichilema believes in running Government like a Business. It is not correct to run Government like a business. Government draws its resources from the Citizens. If u want to run as a business, don’t get money from tax payers because they would want to get services at a cheaper price, but they are not getting that,” he said.
On the much talked about CDF, Hon Monde bemoaned how the people are Hoodwinked.
“In my view, they have done certain things right, but on others they have not. Look at that CDF, it has now become Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health. Anything you want they point at CDF. It is a way of Hoodwinking the people,” he said.
He Said he feels vindicated that what he said about President Hakainde Hichilema not being capable of performing 10 years ago is now coming to pass.
