IF ECL WAS GIVEN 5 MORE YEARS TO GOVERN, WE WOULD BE CELEBRATING RIGHT NOW

Kabwe, Friday, February 24, 2023 ( Smart Eagles)
Basing his argument on the developmental projects the previous regime spread across the country, Former Lusaka and Copperbelt Provinces Minister Hon. Bowman Chilosha Lusambo has argued that there is nothing progressive that the UPND has done to be compared to what the PF did.
Hon Lusambo said former president Edgar Lungu had a clear economic plan for the country which he was using to implement his progressive projects.
The Buldozer said Zambia would be celebrating if president Lungu was given five more years to govern because the former Head of State knows what Zambians need.
He said this when he featured on KNC Radio in Kabwe yesterday.
“From the time they got into power in 2021 to date, 2023, there is nothing that UPND has done that we can compare to what the PF government under the able leadership of His Excellency president Edgar Chagwa Lungu,” he said.
“President Lungu had a development plan for this country. He has it, it was at his table and he used to follow it… we need to do a road in Shang’ombo, we need to do a road in Dundumwezi, we need to put communication towers in Dundumwezi and others. President Lungu had an economic plan for this country. That is why he want to diversify the country’s economy from being copper dependent to agriculture.”
He added that the president Lungu led administration started promoting agriculture “so that we start promoting it as business.”
The former Kabushi lawmaker said government official were always ready to actualize the pronouncements of the former president.
“That is what we started and we scored in the agriculture sector. We had bumper harvests. President Lungu came with bumper harvests in government. We have introduced aquaculture; we have introduced fish farming in many areas… we used to encourage students to consider taking up farming as a business. This is why you saw Prof Nkandu Luo going to different provinces seeing the livestock we have and ensure that we have people with interest in farming…,” he said.
“You saw president Edgar Lungu every Saturday would go to a fish pond showing us how he was harvesting his fish from State House… we wanted what the president was pronouncing to be practical. We did a lot of things so we cannot compare to the UPND because there is nothing that they have done in terms of economic transformation.”
