JUST ACCEPT YOU HAVE FAILED, M’MEMBE TELLS UPND
….the slogan has now changed from ‘bally will fix’ it to ‘Give us more Time’
Kasama, Sunday, January 22, 2023 ( Smart Eagles )
Be courageous and tell the people that you have failed to deliver on your promises, Socialist Party (SP) Leader Dr Fred M’membe has told the UPND.
Speaking when he featured on Radio Mano in Kasama District today, Dr M’membe said Zambians have now seen that they entrusted their Vote in liars who have failed to improve the livelihood of the people.
He said it was this reason that the Party won the by-Election in Kapanda ward, Lukashya Constituency, because people nolonger want to tolerate lies.
Dr M’membe said unlike liars who go to the people with a lot of promises, the Socialist Party went to Kapanda and paid attention to the needs of the people.
“We didn’t go there with problems, it is people ego gave us the problems. In Kapanda ward. The problems the people have are many. They were promised that the price of fertilizer was going to be at K250. Today it is over K1250. Fuel today, is 27 kwacha. The current Government is full of lies. That’s the message they were giving us. Not us telling them,” Dr M’membe said.
He has since noted the need for all political players to pay attention to what people are saying before criticising the Government.
Meanwhile, Dr M’membe has bemoaned the escalating levels of poverty in the country especially in Northern Province.
He said nothing has changed from the time the UPND came into power because Poverty has continued to increase.
The Socialist Party Leader said this is why the UPND have now abandoned their Slogan “Bally will Fix it” and adopted a new one “Give Us More Time”.
“The entire country, Northern Province is number 3 on the poorest. Ubupina bulasebanya. Their slogan was bally will fix it, you can’t be lying to people. The people are not happy… there are no jobs. There are no jobs in the private sector. The private sector Is disoriented. A lot of things have gone wrong. The UPND should have the courage of saying they have failed,” he said.
He said people have now adjusted how they used to eat from having three meals per day to only eating once.
Dr M’membe said as if that is not enough, the Government has continued exporting electricity much to the disadvantage of businesses such as barbershop, welding and salons.
