IF AT ALL IT IS A CLIQUE OF THIEVES FROM INDEPENDENCE, BALLY CANNOT ESCAPE FROM BEING PART OF IT
…..says Nakacinda as he charges that the Head of State is a puppet of imperialists
LUSAKA, Tuesday, November 9, 2021 (SMART EAGLES)
Opposition Patriotic Front (PF) Member of the Central Committee in Charge of Information and Publicity Hon. Raphael Nakacinda has slammed President Hakainde Hichilema over his recent, highly debated “clique of thieves” remarks.
Hon Nakacinda accused the President of having insulted all the past Presidents in the said remarks.
He said when he appeared on Hot FM’s “Hot Seat” program today that the Head of State cannot run away from it if at all it is a clique of thieves.
The MCC explained that President Hichilema was one of the key consultants during the privatization process.
“If at all it is a clique of thieves from independence, Hakainde cannot escape being part of that clique because when there was a program of privatization in this country under MMD, one of the key consultants during that time was Mr Hakainde Hichilema. I think we shouldn’t excuse a president who is going to represent this country not only locally here, international and so on. Look at what he went to say in Scotland and people are letting this pass,” he lamented.
“When you are Head of State, you are number on diplomat and your responsibility is to make sure that your country is viewed and seen in the correct light. How can you go and start calling your citizens to have been thieves, fraudsters and so on?”
Hon Nakacinda accused the President of rubbishing everyone in wanting to look good.
He also accused the President of being a puppet of capitalist.
“…you are obsessed with wanting to look good. In wanting to look good you want to rubbish everyone else. He is a puppet of imperialists, he is a puppet of capitalists….. anybody that glorifies something that is foreign more than their own, that person is dangerous,” he said.
Meanwhile, the MCC rubbished the New Dawn Administration’s National Budget and the Cabinet.
He anticipated the appointment of Permanent Secretaries in various ministries to be disastrous.
