UPND SECRETARY GENERAL’S RESPONSE TO WYNTER KABIMBA AND LUCKY MULUSA
PRESS STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
12th June 2022
*GIVE HH TIME TO RUN THE COUNTRY…KABIMBA , MULUSA A FAILED POLITICAL PROJECT* .
We note with concern a malicious submission by Economic Front(EF) leader Wynter Kabimba and his counterpart Mr. Lucky Mulusa, in which they are urging Zambians not to allow the UPND to go beyond 2026.
Firstly, Wynter Kabimba is PF and PF is Wynter Kabimba. This is why he went to bed with PF even after they expelled him from the PF.
Kabimba’s assertion that UPND should not go beyond 2026 is not only a day dream but a sign of bitterness which sent his alliance Partner PF out of leadership.
Kabimba knows that it cannot take less than a year to fix the nation which the PF and Kabimba destroyed in 10 years. However, good fruits are there for all to see that there is order and fiscal discipline in the country now.
Where there is order and fiscal discipline, an economy thrives.
Zambians have not forgotten how Kabimba went into an alliance as an individual with PF to stop President HH from standing using Bill 10.
Further, Kabimba has never succeeded politically; he was dumped by PF , later on by Fred M’membe due to his poor political reasoning.
We urge Zambians not to admit evil politicians who celebrated bloodshed ,corruption and gassing under the PF leadership through their support of the PF ideology.
Kabimba is part of the group which pushed an agenda to divide the nation on tribal lines. They clearly had no agenda for this country.
Allowing Kabimba and the PF back to rule is like re-admititng satan back in heaven.
As for Mr. Lucky Mulusa; this is a man who has no political direction, and has nothing completely to offer to the people of Zambia. President Edgar Lungu gave him chance to work as Minister of National Development Planning , and was soon fired for gross misconduct. There is literally nothing to write home about him.
The UPND has clear policies whose fruits have started manifesting through drastic reduction in inflation, free education , clear roadmap on debt restructuring, creation of a favourable environment for business, and commencement of social cash transfer targeting over 1 million people.
For reminder’s sake, let me take this time to mention a few things that our capable government has done so far;
1. Health workers recruitment is going on (11, 200).
2. Teacher recruitment is ongoing (30, 000.While PF only made replacement of 1200 teachers, meaning they did nothing, UPND is taking up 30,000 teachers. Kabimba and the PF must be ashamed of themselves.
3. K805 Million CDF fund released.This is a milestone. As soon as all the technicalities are resolved , citizens will be smiling.
4. Retirees have been paid off their monies.
5.Paying off all the 15,000 TAZARA workers which the PF government failed to do in 10 years time.
6.Paying off all the 128,000 pensioners which the PF government failed to do in 10 years time.
7.Paying off all the 34,000 council workers who were not receiving salary every month which the PF government failed to do in 10 years time.
8. Paying off all the 258,000 farmers who supplied maize to F.R.A under the PF.
9. Releasing the money for equalization fund for 2021 for all the 116 councils countrywide which the PF government failed to do.
10. Releasing of the 2021 CDF for all the 156 constituencies which the PF government failed to do in 7 years under President.
11. Freedom of expression is there for anyone to see.
12. Freedom of movement is there for anyone to see.The freedom of assembly is also being enjoyed by PF today.
13. No public order act to victimize anyone .
14. Media freedom is there for anyone to see . The opposition can freely go on any media and criticize government.
15. Separation of powers is given to the three organs of government .This is evidenced by the judgements , some of which are against the state.
16. No cadrism in the markets and bus stations. The President has made it clear that whoever breaks the law is on their own.
17. No police brutality . The rule of law has been restored. Bullets are no longer used against political opponents as was the case under the PF rule.
18.Cabinet has been reduced.
19.Presidential entourage has been reduced by more that 90%.
20. Recovery of stolen national asserts and monies are underway. So far we have seen considerable matters being brought before the court.
21. Unification of the country is 100% implemented. We now have a cabinet which represents all the 10 provinces of Zambia , just as President Hichilema promised Zambians during the campaigns.
22.Negotiations over Zambia’s debt servicing default are things of the past. We have reached an advanced stage. But this is what the PF failed to do in 10 years.
23. Political party members can now put on their party regalias without fearing political attacks.
To sum it up ,running the country is a process, and soon fruits will begin to show.
Better days are coming and we shall party together soon.
