UNIP, MMD, PF SHOULD SHARE THE BLAME FOR LOAD SHEDDING – VEEP
By Shadreck Jere – News Diggers
VICE-President Mutale Nalumango says UPND should not be blamed for the current load shedding, arguing that UNIP, MMD and PF should shoulder some of the blame.
She adds that UPND could have done better if it had found a better power generation base from the previous governments.


A sign of how narrow those that making noise about power are in their thinking. Emotional thinking using hormones to speak out without having taken time to gather the facts.
Are these the kind of leaders you want? Where they will spend more time talking about and showing you how little they understand issues? Then what will they be doing in office when the clearly dont even understand what they will be doing in that office tgey seem so eager to aspire for? Remember GiGO? Garbage in Garbage out? That is what you will get.
This is well said Vice. The previous governments never did enough to use statistics from the census data to move, both with the population and infrastructures way ahead of the future needs.
PF which borrowed heavily rushed to infrastructure that could line their pockets rather than meet the needs of the growing population.
They danced away and pocketed most of the funds and now appear to push all the blame on UPND, which, under the circumstances are doing what should have been done years back.
VP that’s the correct position regarding the power issue. Previous governments didn’t intelligently invest enough in the energy sector with a futuristic eye. That is said. Now UPND must start and seriously demonstrate to the people that this is one of the priority sectors and that successive regimes should build on. Again UPND is weak when it comes to communicating salient national issues to the populace in a very simple yet clear manner. This is the reason PF and it’s non patriotic runaway journalists can spin a lie and the whole nation spends time paying attention to it.
