THE approved 2022 National Budget coming into effect on 1st January under the New Dawn Administration will mark the genesis of Zambia’s transformational journey to a sound economic turn-around and improved living standards for the people, charges party Secretary General, Batuke Imenda.

And Mr Imenda has charged that the opposition PF was still reeling from the shock and pain of the August, 2021 quadratite elections defeat.

This came to light when the party CEO met district and constituency officials from Kitwe at the Kitwe District Secretariat in Nkana East and at Kwacha CC of Kwacha Constituency, respectively.

Mr Imenda, who is in the company of UPND deputy Elections Chairperson, Brian Ndumba, is scheduled to conclude his three (3) days working visit of the Copperbelt today.

Imenda further charged that the big margin in the August 12th elections which saw the UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilema voted-in as the 7th President of the Republic of Zambia spelt the beginning of a new era for the people as well as a re-birth of tranquility; respect for human rights and freedoms which he said the former ruling PF took away from ordinary, majority in a criminal and brutal manner.

He insisted that it was impossible for the former ruling PF to rebrand and bounce back into power, stressing that nothing will save the now defunct PF from complete annihilation.

Mr Imenda stressed that the recruitment of 30,000 teachers and 11,000 health personnel would answer some of the dire challenges that Zambia has been grappling with such as unemployment.

He also encouraged the youths of the country to take part in transformational agenda set out by President Hichilema through the formation of co-operatives and companies.

“President Hichilema is inviting all uncertified but skilled manpower among the young people in Zambian to join in the crusade of a robust economic transformation agenda through the formation of co-operatives and companies,” said Mr Imenda.

Speaking during the same event, Mr Ndumba warned the UPND leadership and it’s members in general never to relax, even for a minute, because the pain and shame of losing power after five (5) years will be unbearable.

“If you and I relax, even for a minute, the PF will regroup using it’s corruptly aquired wealth and fight to get back into Government. colleagues, if we relax, it will be more painful and most shameful to win power like we did, and lose it after five (5) years to a bunch of criminal elements driving the former ruling party,” Mr Ndumba said.

Mr Imenda pledged that the UPND will never walk the criminal and lawless part of the PF such the gross abuse of public funds for party activities including spoiling cadres for their violent and other senseless acts.
