KAWANA DEFENDS HH’s LEADERSHIP AMID OPPOSITION CRITICISM
Information and Media Permanent Secretary, Thabo Kawana, has expressed disappointment over claims by opposition political parties that President Hakainde Hichilema is “working hard doing the wrong things.”
Mr. Kawana said in an interview in Livingstone that such claims are unsurprising, as the opposition is accustomed to doing the wrong things to the extent that when someone does the right thing, they perceive it as wrong.
He stated that, contrary to these claims, President Hichilema is working diligently to correct past wrongs and restructure the debt accumulated by the previous regime.
Mr. Kawana said that to ensure all Zambians benefit from the national resources, President Hichilema reintroduced free education and reinstated meal allowances for university students.
He further noted that, due to President Hichilema’s efforts, the country’s economy, which was previously in decline under the Patriotic Front (PF) government, is now experiencing positive growth.
Mr. Kawana advised opposition political parties to learn from President Hichilema’s hard work, emphasizing that the era of embezzling public funds is over.
He assured Zambians that the country is on a path to greatness under President Hichilema’s leadership and dedication.

AFTER DAMAGING THE ECONOMY AND GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS, THEY WANT TO BLAME THE CURRENT PRESIDENT, SHIFTING THE BLAME.
NO ONE CAN EVEN JUSTIFY ONE LADY OWNING A PLUSH MANSION IN NEW KASAMA WHERE SHE LOCKED UP MILLIONS OF KWACHA AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
THAT IS ONE INDIVIDUAL ONLY, WHAT ABOUT THOSE OTHER SAFE- HOUSE KEEPERS? HOW MANY ARE THEY AND HOW MUCH DID THEY MOVE?
ALL THOSE EURO- BONDS AND CHINESE LOANS, COULDN’T THEY HAVE MADE ZAMBIA A BETTER COUNTRY?
THE STAPLE FOOD DID NOT MAKE SENSE TO GROW BECAUSE THE PF MADE SOYA BEANS MORE EXPENSIVE AND MORE PEOPLE WERE ABANDONING MAIZE GROWING.
TO ATTRACT FARMERS BACK TO MAIZE GROWING, IT MADE SENSE FOR GOVERNMENT TO RAISE THE PRICE OF MAIZE, HENCE THE COST OF MEALIE MEAL.
THE OTHER DISTORTION CAME WITH BONANZA MACHINES WHICH THE CHINESE USE TO WIPE OUT THE US DOLLAR AND PF ALLOWED THIS TO THRIVE.
THEN YOU HAVE THE RWANDESE WHO WOULD ORDER GOODS EVEN FROM SHOPRITE AND THEN TAKE IT TO THE COMPOUNDS TO INFLATE THE PRICES.
THERE ARE ALSO THE TOUR OPERATORS WHO SELL THEIR SERVICES ABROAD WHERE THE MONEY REMAINS AND WHAT THE GOVERNMENT BENEFITS IS MEAGRE. THE WORKERS THERE GET PEANUTS TOO.
OUR INDIAN COMMUNITY IS ALWAYS SMUGGLING MILLIONS OF US DOLLARS AND GOLD.
THE POLICY THAT GOLD IS A BY- PRODUCT OF COPPER AND HENCE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IS THE WORST FORM OF DEPRIVING ZAMBIANS OF THE MUCH NEEDED REVENUE. ALL THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS EVEN BEFORE THE UPND SMELLED THE CORRIDORS OF POWER.
TO BLAME THE UPND FOR THIS CURRENT SITUATION IS RATHER BEING UNFAIR.
THE TRUTH IS THAT THOSE THAT SUNK THE ECONOMY DAMAGED IT IN 10 YEARS DESPITE THE RESOURCES AT THEIR DISPOSAL, BUT THEY WANT HH AND THE UPND TO FIX IT IN THREE YEARS.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO JUST ACCEPT THAT HH IS WORKING TO FIX THE DAMAGE AND IF HE WAS THE ONE WHO HAD THE RESOURCES PF HAD AT THEIR DISPOSAL, FETING CADRES FOR CAUSING HAVOC IN THE COUNTRY, THIS COUNTRY WOULD HAVE BEEN AT ANOTHER LEVEL.
IT IS SAFER TO GO ALONG WITH HH AND UPND THAN GO BACK TO THAT CONFUSION. THEY WILL COME BACK WITH A VENGEANCE.
The opposition is having no ideas, they have failed to tell us how to do things well better than UPND.The blame game that doesn’t come with solution is just noise.With UPND so far so good.People are happy.
