UKA WILL NOT BE STOPPED – SILAVWE
…. it was formed out of people’s calls for a United opposition.
CHINSALI, TUESDAY, MARCH, 26, 2024 [SMART EAGLES]
GOLDEN Party of Zambia President Jackson Silavwe says the United Kwacha Alliance UKA is unstoppable and is here to stay.
Speaking when he and National Congress Party NDC President Saboi Imboela featured on Chinsali based Radio Kwitonta, Mr. Silavwe said UKA was formed out of people’s calls for a United opposition in the country.
He said UKA is a people’s movement after the realization that the current UPND Government has failed the people of Zambia whom they gave countless promises of fixing the country by reducing the cost of living.
Mr. Silavwe said UKA is the only hope for the people of Zambia who are grappling with high levels of poverty and hunger.
“As UKA we want o end the people’s suffering. The cost of living has gone up and hunger has hit families very hard because they are not able to afford a decent meal a day. UKA will not be stopped because it is the people’s movement formed out of the calls for a United opposition and in 2026 we will field one presidential candidate,” Mr. Silavwe said.
” People are not happy with what is happening because the UPND when in opposition promised to reduce the cost of living by reducing the prices of mealie meal, fuel, fertilizer and also stabilizing the Kwacha/ Dollar exchange rate but what is happening is the exact opposite, ” he said.
And Mr. Silavwe said it is shocking that the President Hichilema and his Government have turned a deaf ear to various complaints from citizens and the church regarding the shrinking democratic space in the country.
He said President Hichilema during campaigns promised not harass or arrest his political opponents but today, almost all the opposition political party leaders have been arrested.
” Even private citizens have been arrested for merely complaining about the cost of living. Various church mother bodies have expressed concern at how things are moving in the country but the UPND Government has chosen to turn a a deaf ear,” Mr. Silavwe said.
Meanwhile, NDC leader Saboi Imboela said Mambilima member of parliament Jean Chisenga should not be crucified over her statement in parliament that President Hichilema lies too much.
The NDC leader said Ms. Chisenga was merely conveying a message on behalf of the majority Zambians who feel lied to going by the many unfulfilled promises.
Your are full of empty stomachs, you have completely nothing to offer the masses. From the day this Alliance was formed, l have not heard a single point that would motivate me to vote for you. You’re a bunch of hungry souls.
UKA is a failed project kkkkkkkkkk it is a combination of failed persons who can not offer Zambians anything to talk about kkkkkkkkkk continue dreaming because dreaming is free kkkkkkkkkk.
Any idiot can gather fellow idiots in one place.
The real qweshen is whether said aggregated idiots can do something worthwhile for the community.
President wama T plus president udoda ifipuku equals…..?????
What people the ones that went to your homes to beg for money? The ones you went to church to give brown envelopes? Be sincere no one in their right mind and a moral campus would follow people whose only plan when they are voted into power, their plan is to loot. Mmembe all his pronouncement are a page from Animal Farm. UKA has now changed from PF, cause ECL’s intent isnt about PF as he suggested when coming back into Politics, its about using the Political activity to avoid possible prosecution…..
Who and what is trying to stop UKA? I never hear nor read about it except from the alliance members alone. Stop being melodramic your united party is a non starter because the fighting for power is within and amongst yourselves.
Ba Silavwe, which people were calling for a united opposition?
UKWA is essentially Mr. Lungu’s PF faction. The rest of you are merely “inshindishi” (escorts) like bridesmaids. Mr. Lungu is UKWA and UKWA is Mr. Lungu.
The other small parties simply came to the realization that they have no impact and no members. So to appear relevant, they sought refuge in UKWA.
UKWA’s presidential candidate in 2026 will be Mr. Lungu. He has the numbers and the financial clout which the others masquerading as leaders of UKWA don’t have.
Mr. Silavwe, I don’t even know who the other leaders of your Golden Party are. Same goes for Ms. Nawakwi, Mr. Sikota, et al.
