I don’t understand this meeting at all.
The only way Hakainde can remove conflict with our beloved Catholic priests is by improving cost of living, and putting poor citizens first.
Why is this so difficult to understand?
Can Hakainde not consult his graphs to see that cost of living is literally killing poor citizens?
Olila samungwila pakamwa real things are not right the cost of living is more than the word of very high
There are people who just talk but they can’t do anything to improve the lives of the poor. HH is even much better because he understands the plight of the poor more than even those who are talking. HH admits quite alright that the cost of living is high but his government is not just looking on, he has put a lot measures in order to mitigate the impact of the high cost of living. He has brought free education in order to relieve the poor parents. He has increased the social cash transfer for poor old citizens, he has given 10.5% salary increment to civil servants, he has employed more than 40 thousand teachers and health workers who are now also helping their poor parents and he is still employing some more. He cleared the back log of retirees some of whom had waited for more than 15, 20 years. He has increased the CDF from 1.6 to 28.3 million and if things go according to his plans or vision, CDF may be increased to more than 50 million before 2026. University students from poor families now receive meal allowances and are learning well, bursaries are increased and more poor children are benefiting. Besides CEEC, he has created a Ministry for SMEs. Talk of NAPSA partial withdraw, talk of former TAZARA workers, the list is endless. Where can you find such a president especially here in Africa? Muletasha bane, ukutasha tabakanya. Even Christ said, if you can’t believe in me, at least you can believe in my works. So to dialogue with the Catholic Church is very good move by the government, our desire is always peace and development for our beloved country not confusion and fighting.
