I WILL REDUCE COST OF LIVING ONCE IN GOVERNMENT – KALABA
THE first thing I will do when elected as president of Zambia is to sort out the high cost of living and ensure that every Zambian has three square meals a day, Mr Harry Kalaba has promised.
Mr Kalaba, who is the Citizens First leader has accused the UPND government of plunging the country into the worst ever cost of living that Zambians have never witnessed.
“The first thing I will do as president is to sort out the cost of living. It is so shameful that a party like UPND which promised to reduce the cost of living has failed to do so. As Citizen First, we shall sort out this issue because it is the first thing on our agenda,” Mr Kalaba said.
“They told the Zambian people that mealie meal will be K50, but today the commodity is more than K400, a situation that we have never seen before. So, we can assure the Zambian people that the mess created by President Hakainde Hichilema will be dealt with decisively,” he said.
Mr Kalaba further stated that President Hakainde Hichilema and his lieutenants should refrain from mocking Zambians that they have started reducing the cost of living.
“He must not be mocking hardworking Zambians that he has reduced the cost of living when everything is high. Most of the commodities he found them cheap but look where we are today. It’s mockery of the highest order for his stooges to claim that they have reduced the cost of living. Maybe they are living in different planet or a different country,” he said.
Mr Kalaba stated that once in government, he would endeavour to prioritise the interest of Zambians and ensure they lived a better life.
“In my government, Zambians will be the main priorities. He cannot be giving tax holidays to foreigners whilst his own people are languishing in poverty and squalor. This is an unacceptable and an unimaginable that people can be treated in this manner by a government which they elected themselves,” Mr Kalaba said.

Akakunkubiti croaking economics, wonders shall never end!!!!
Tell us how you will manage to reduce the cost of living, before anyone can even think of voting for you. Don’t take us for fools, explain how you will do things differently. It’s not enough just to say I will do this and this without explaining how you will do it. If you say hh has failed, fine enough but tell us how you do things differently from the current government otherwise you stand no chance as opposition is weak and have no credible message to the electorate apart from daily hollow criticisms of hh and the upnd government. HH is definitely winning big this time as there is no credible opposition to the upnd as of now.
He is afraid to commit himself to specific targets.He will only rely on a sympathy vote to win a landslide
Ni economy ya a nyoko? Are the shops your mother’s? Do not lie to people. This is not a communist country where there are price controls. Not even China controls prices.
Tell us well how you will reduce the prices Mr.Kindly explain we hear if you have better ideas.Dont give us just headline without details.
How ????
That is the qweshen.
If you can not give ideas to those in power now on how to improve the welfare of citizens, you will never do it once you are in power. Commitment to the people is tested when one does not have access to power.
Mr. Kalaba should go further by outlining what he intends to do in order to reduce the cost of living. It is not enough to say “I will reduce the cost of living”.
Yabaaaa! Lost man indeed, he can’t even explain how the so called reducing the cost of living will be done or attained.
Explain how you will do it in your citizens first party not when voted into government in your imaginable un attained vision.
Give us the formula, how. Just talking is nothing bwana first citizens first prezida.
But ifiloto! Not again.
He was in government before where he failed. What is there to stop him failing again. We don’t want tried and tested failures.
A huge point there lol
Such promises tells me/us that he is a liar, we have heard such promises before!
These Zambian politicians study what we are crying about and they turn it into a campaign promise…now we know.
So, Ba Mwisho Ba Kalaba I feel offended when you politicians stands on the podium and promise me the impossibles which the others past have never done so that I vote for them. Walobe lyauma!
A bird in hand is worth millions flying in the sky SIMILARLY the devil you know is better than the Kalaba you don’t know.
Do you oi fields? Do you have financial reserves reserves to subsidize prices? Are going to control the international prices machinery and services needed to develop potential industries in Zambia? How are you going to encourage morality when you have rejoined the team you publicly declared corrupt, and currently “protecting the cyber criminals, and ever insulting fellow leaders through social media?
Do you have oil fields? Are you going to control the international prices of machinery and services needed for the development of potential industries in Zambia?

Ba Paul even if we had oil fields that wont solve the problem. We need people who know how to manage these things and lead with no self interest but a selfless stewardship drive.
Look at most oil rich states in Africa. How many pass that wealth to its citizens? Uganda, Sudan, Angola, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.
All oil rich states. Has that translated into wealth for all its citizens or just a few?
This man is incapable of leading and is just a puppet on a string in “the making”
Find alternative lies. We have been through this when we bought into those lies in 2020/2021 and here we are.
Kindly tell us something reasonably convincing otherwise that campaign message is hollow and deceptive
