Zambia @ 60 Years
United Kwacha Alliance – UKA Celebrates Zambia’s 60 years democratic journey of Independence.
United Kwacha Alliance is happy and joins the rest of the country in celebrating zambia’s 60 years of Independence from the British colonial rule which marked the new era of self governance and national building.
For the past 60 years now, zambia has made tremendous improvement and recorded great achievement in many sectors of the economy.
This is a milestone worth acknowledging and UKA wishes many zambians to join hands and reflect on our great and many achievements.
Our fellow citizens, we would also love to say that , After many years of democratic progress, today Zambia is seemingly moving backwards in terms of eroding democracy and in some sections, some even fearing a return to colonial-era power dynamics with violations of fundamental human rights and freedoms enshrined in our republic constitution.
UKA takes a strong position in promoting and upholding democracy and civil liberties of citizens and aims to strengthen institutions that promote transparency, and accountability for a prosperous zambia once voted in government.
On this Special day, we rededicate our commitment in addressing the economic diversification beyond mining to ensure sustainable growth for our country and our citizens.
Comrades and friends, United Kwacha Alliance stands firm in ensuring the protection and defending our sovereignty for a just and fair country that puts the interests of Citizens at heart, at the same time promote social Justice, quality education, fight poverty, and improve healthcare for all.
Comrades in the struggle, Our independence is a clear testament to honor the nation’s founding fathers and mothers who fought for our country’s sovereignty and democracy.
To all our freedom fighters, we acknowledge and salute you for the great fight and work you did in liberating Zambia and wish you well and at the same time wish those who have passed away to continue resting in peace.
As United Kwacha Alliance,(UKA) we acknowledge the challenges our country is facing at the moment and prays with a strong belief that political players will embrace the national and democratic values and forge a brighter future for Zambia with much emphasis on “One Zambia, One Nation” .
Fellow citizens, we are all reminded by our motto which embodies the country’s unity and aspirations.
As Zambia moves forward, it’s crucial to uphold the principles of independence, democracy and human rights in ensuring a brighter future for generations to come.Therefore, United Kwacha Alliance calls upon citizens to love one another, support and love their country and work towards rediscovering Zambia’s democratic footing and build strong economic environment for a brighter future for its people.
