SOLWEZI, ZAMBIA.
KUDOS TO THE UPND GOVERNMENT FOR FULFILLING MANY CAMPAIGN PROMISES WITHIN 10 MONTHS OF ASSUMING OFFICE.
The UPND in North Western Province is elated with the rate at which Government under the able leadership of President Hakainde Hichilema is fulfilling it’s campaign promises to the Zambians.
It’s unprecedented that today Zambians are witnessing something that has never happened in the history of this country.
More than 30,000 teachers have officially been employed by the Government and health workers will be employed soon.
Naturally the ripple effect of employment of this magnitude will go along way in ensuring that more households have access to the much needed income for their survival.
The teacher-pupil ratio will obviously be greatly improved in most of our schools and this will help in the delivery and quality of education our children get in schools.
From the time Mr. President Hakainde Hichilema and the UPND were ushered into office, among the promises fulfilled in addition to the recruitment of more than K30,000 teachers include but not to:
1. Increased Constituency Development Fund (CDF) from K1.6M to K25.7M in all Constituencies
2. Recruitment of more than 11,000 health personel
3. Introduction of free Education for our people from grade 1 to 12
4.. Removal of cadres from all trading places including markets and bus stations.
5. Stabilisation of the local currency
6. Reducing inflation to a single digit
7. Reduced corruption and transparency in the Government procurement system.
8. Restoration of the Rule of law and separation of power among the wings of Government
9. Appointment of a tribally balanced cabinet representing all our people in the country.
10. Increased social cash funds from K500 to K800 per household.
11. Opening up zambia for business to the international community.
Even when we believe more work has to be done, the pace at which the new dawn administration is working requires the support of every well meaning Zambian.
As North Western UPND we retaliate our commitment and support for President Hakainde Hichilema and and his administration in ensuring a better zambia for all.
