TONSE ALLIANCE OPPOSES INTRODUCTION OF NEW CURRENCY NOTES
By Best Jere
The Opposition Tonse Alliance has called on the government to reconsider its plan to introduce a new family of the Zambian currency, following an announcement by the Bank of Zambia that the new notes will come into circulation on March 31, 2025.
Alliance spokesperson Sean Tembo has expressed concerns that the currency change will affect every Zambian citizen.
He stressed the importance of public consultation on such significant policy changes, particularly with representatives from trade associations and other citizen groups.
Mr. Tembo has also criticized the design of the new currency, pointing out that it excludes important national symbols, such as the Freedom Statue.
Meanwhile, Chief Government Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa has stated that the change in Zambia’s banking notes, rather than the currency itself, was necessary based on expert advice from the Central Bank and the financial sector.
There is nothing wrong here. Infact th6us is not the first time that the Zambian currency has been introduced, so it is not a new thing that a group of distorted crooks under the pretentious of tonse can pretend to vomit and spread across their filth.
Why in the first place didn’t you with your Lungu in the PIEFU stopped the printing of money which you shared without even passing through bank of Zambia storage facility. You were suppose to do well then than to bei g yiur scabies in the flesh of the well intended body for a purpose.
You are nothing but a bunch of crooks and traitors. Alwsys trying to bring confusion in our nation.
Another bunch of detractors with nothing but their arrogant selfserving noise that they have taught themselves. That making noise is a fashion statement. They are sauve, cool. But actually display their irrelevance.
Just surrender the stashes (utusaka) of the Kwacha you store from the Zambians and stop making noise.
Well, your tusaka now won’t go very far. You’re are welcome to reject based on your useless opinion. The country will move forward.
Why is the Tonse alliance afraid of the change of currency?
What consultation? There are people who are charged with the responsibility of designing bank notes. If Tonse Alliance want to be consulted, let them go work for Bank of Zambia.
Let us be realistic in our criticism. There are matters where consultation is critical, like the constitution. Let’s not waste time on irrelevant issues. It seems like most politicians are not meaningfully engaged in their lives and want to be involved in everything that the government is doing. They basically want to run the government instead of leaving it to those given the mandate by the people.
We are ready to receive the new bank notes.
The only issue by Tonse Alliance is they have a lot of stolen public money in there homes. The change of currency is already in motion and printed.
We are so excited to start using the new family of currency. We ain’t changing currency in Zambia for the first time. Just because anything UPND introduces should be met by counter force by Tonse Alliance.
This time mwalobe lyauma.
We know there are so many Liatos in PF. The hiden stolen stacks and stacks of money mu ma nyumba.
Just bring that money to me I will help you change it. I have been away to Trump’s land busy studying. Believe me I have plan B for changing money especially from the idiots who looted, stole and corruptly became stinking rich. STUPID IDIOTS.
