IT’S A MESS: HICHILEMA IS BLANK ON THE ECONOMY
It is clear that Mr Hakainde Hichilema and his corrupt puppet regime have no plan to manage the economic crisis of the country.
They spoke so eloquently about their plans and their policies to solve the economic problems of the country. They also have blamed everybody except themselves for the problems that are causing so much misery and suffering amongst our people.
And it’s on this same basis that the people gave them a platform to make their voices heard and to eventually get them into government.
Our people had hope that they were making the right choice and that they were choosing decent, honest and committed leaders. Our people literally believed every word of assurance that was given by Mr Hichilema.
But today, there is nothing happening in the country and life keeps getting worse. The rising cost of living is hurting the very citizens they promised a better life.
The hunger, poverty and despair that is currently prevailing in the country is heartbreaking as prices of commodities sharply rise daily whilst the earning power remains stuck in a rut.
The situation keeps getting desperate and it is spiraling out of control. There is hopelessness everywhere including amongst the ruling party supporters. But for how long shall this be tolerated by our people?
Even though, Mr Hichilema and his league are trying so hard look busy and pretend like all is well, and they have answers to our problems, the reality is that they are blank in their minds and definitely stuck.
Mr Hichilema and his corrupt puppet regime have no idea what they’re doing and where they’re taking us as a nation. They’re at sea and if not stopped, they will destroy this county terribly.
What we are saying here is not something new because even senior UPND leaders are discussing these matters in the dark corners of this administration. It has dawned on them that they lack leadership, foresight, intellect and demonstrable ability to understand the state of our economy and the social political situation.
Equally, Mr Hichilema’s own Cabinet ministers are admitting secretly that he lacks the selflessness and capacity to engineer a workable and sustainable economic and political transformation for the country.
In fact, even their friends in the international community are talking about their failure to manage and transform this economy and ultimately guarantee a prosperous and sustainable survival of the people.
We are aware that a number of their Western counterparts have already passed a verdict that Mr Hichilema will not solve this economic crisis and instead will resort to tyrannical and authoritarian measures in his quest to retain power.
And so, all these draconian steps such as the violation of our Constitutional order, human rights abuses, detentions and torture, abuse of the judiciary, parliament, the police and other institutions of governance are all well calculated at boosting Mr Hichilema’s chances of securing a second term of office.
Mr Hichilema wants power at all cost even when it’s absolutely clear that there is nothing they will do to turn the economy around or warranty their continued stay in office. They only want power for selfish reasons. To protect their business interests and their corrupt financial networks.
But it won’t work. There is no way the Zambian people will allow personal interest to dictate the future of our country.
We shall stand together and stop this selfish and reckless ambition of Mr Hichilema and restore order, stability, prosperity, and democracy in our country.
Alefwaya nangu talefwaya, 2026 yena aleya!
Fred M’membe
President of the Socialist Party
Dr. M’membe, you are equally clueless on how to address the challenges, we face. All you have done in your long article is point out the problems. You shed no light on how YOU will tackle the issues.
As things stand, there is no alternative to UPND and HH. You have to do better if you want to get my vote.
Nomba HH ngaya who do we give? You? All come on Fred you are overrating yourself…
My brother-in-law used to work for you. We know you and your evil and sadistic mind very well. You boasted openly to your workers how Chiluba, Sata, Mwanawasa and Rupiah Banda were at your beck and call. Lungu nailed you and today you are bedmates because you both hate HH because he is rich with clean money. Your jealousy will lead you to self-destruction. Just shut of both of you. Zambians are not fools. No lawyer will be president of Zambia in the foreseeable future. We’ve had enough bird brains in plot one already. Sorry to intelligent lawyers out there. No malice intended but world economics is now very complex. You need the right hardware up there. Now we need Economists, Engineers and Accountants… sorry. It’s no time for grade twos, teachers, lawyers and political scientists.
Ba Wapya what we need are good leaders not necessarily economists, engineers or whatever. Even a grade 12 would do. A leader inspires people because of his/her social or emotional intelligence.
Once people are inspired/motivated, they can achieve anything. KK was such a leader. Academically, he did not amount to much, but because he had social intelligence, degree holders and professors were reporting to him and he achieved a lot the first fifteen years of independence.
Some of. The worst leaders have been degree holders like our own ECL. So your prejudice doesnot mean anything.
The problem with you is that you are too optimistic, you cannot use words like whether he likes it or not, mu 2026 aleya. Are you the one who brought him into power? Unfortunately you are not the one, the Zambian people who brought him to power will still give him a second term and some of you haters will collapse with BP. Concentrate on your taking you nowhere party instead of wasting your time on HH everyday, you are making the same mistake PF made and one day you will see some of your members doing what Sampa has done to PF. Instead of providing direction, guidance and leadership to the party, someone is just talking about HH from new year to Christmas, what do you benefit from such a leader and party? Always remember that you are just the president of SP and not the owner of SP. As you saw yesterday in Nyimba, HH has a well planned developmental agenda while you, you are full of hatred agenda which will not take us anywhere. Ask some of your friends in PF like GBM, they were vowing that come 2021, we are going to retire HH from politics, but 2021 came and it were them who were retired. It will be the same to you my dear, at the end of the day, it’s people who decide and not you.
Give us alternative policies. Not lamentations. Or else just shut up.
