“IT’LL BE A COMPLETE LIE FOR ME TO SAY THINGS ARE GOOD”

Hakainde Hichilema, be careful with people lying to you about how things are in the country. Take a few days to actually visit the compounds, the remote parts of this country and talk to the people themselves, go into the hospitals and ask questions, go into the schools and the compounds. Talk to the Zambian people.
The problem with “grand projects” like roads and buildings is that they stroke your ego while the rest of the country is in abject poverty. Today you announce a mine opening it sounds good, but what exactly does that mean?
Mr President, ask the people it’s far much easier to buy into your vision of rebirth if you actually know what’s going on among the most vulnerable people in our society.
I deal with grassroots cases, I have people living in this country 4 days without food, people who can’t go to the hospital because there is no money. I’m seeing these things Mr President with my own eyes.
So for me to tell you things are good is a complete lie. They are not. People are suffering.
I promised you that will always be honest with you and that’s the only contribution I will ever make to your presidency. My honesty that’s it.
Iwe is marriage not the same? Anything good takes time. Mwabelela ukutantatama. Work at the pitfalls. You think life is easy. Go to any developed country, they didnt have manner drop from heaven and that is why you have to get a visa to go there. No free loading.
Now you, any small problem you are wailing so that the neighbours know your wife didnt sweep properly? Grow up. Stay the course charted. Ponder on the issues that are a draw back, as a collective sit down and work on how to resolve them with the confines the law and party statues.
I’m surprised to read some of the complaints put accross in the above article. Surely one does not need money to go the hospital or send their child to school because there is now free education. Also, hunger will never end because even in developed countries there are people who go to bed hungry. Yes things are hard in the country currently but one has to look at where the problems are coming from. If one is honest, they would know that most of problems we have currently have been caused by legacy issues like lack of investment in alternative energy sources for loadshedding, unsustainable debt left by the previous administration to mention just a few and unfortunately it’s easier to destroy something but it’s much harder build it.
It is encouraging that some UPND members are calling it like it is. No sugar coating.
Unfortunately the conman has his own agenda and he will ignore this good free advice.
If you need a listening leadership…..
Vote wisely in 2026.
HH was voted into office to lead the nation out of the PF pandemonium of poverty, hunger, corruption, hooliganism, the list is endless. Who tells you that that journey would be a walk in the park? Don’t force us to conclude that perhaps you are disappointed because HH has not allowed you to start eating in a corrupt way like those defunct PF thugs.
This is the default Zambezi response.
Vote wisely in 2026.
