NEVERS MUMBA COUNSELS OPPOSITION POLITICAL PARTIES THREATENING TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT HICHILEMA
By Chileshe Mwango
Former Vice President Dr. Nevers Mumba has challenged opposition political parties that have threatened to impeach President Hakainde Hichilema to prove he occasioned the auditing of the defence and security services by private companies.
Some opposition political parties this week disclosed that they are preparing a motion to impeach President Hichilema for among other reasons, alleged bad governance and the awarding of a contract to a private firm he has interest in to audit the Zambia Army.
In an interview with Phoenix News, Dr. Mumba argues that instead of planning to impeach the head of state, the opposition must be discussing matters of urgency such as the high debt levels left by the patriotic front government which he says continues to affect the country’s economic growth.
Dr. Mumba has since appealed to the opposition to concentrate on ensuring Zambians have better lives by pushing government to effectively implement Programmes such as the Farmer Input Support Program and the Social Cash Transfer.
