IT IS PURE FALLACY TO SAY THAT PF HAS FAILED, THE HIGH COMMODITY PRICES WE ARE EXPERIENCING IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM AS DECLARED BY THE UNITED NATIONS
“Someone was being rhetoric that when I am elected at 10 o’clock, 14:00hrs the dollar will come down ni magic abracadabra, please see them for who they are, liars!”
“The United Nations has declared that food world over, isonde lyonse, nafinina (the world over prices have gone up) by two or three times more because of drought, and the pandemic.”
“Global food prices has extended to the highest in almost a decade, this is not me [talking], not Lungu [taking] but the UN who is stating.”
“Mealie Meal today in South Africa is at R230 – K380 for 25kg bag of mealie meal and in this country [Zambia] a 25kg is costing at K140, a kg of meat is R73- K120 in South Africa… and in Zambia meat is ranging between K70 to K90 kg, lets come to cooking oil 2.5ltrs in South Africa is costing R79 – K130.”
“When we come to petrol I have heard people hallucinate that petrol is expensive in Zambia and cheaper in South Africa, where are you getting the statistics from?”
“Petrol in South Africa is R16.91 per litre which translates to K28 per litre, how much are we paying in Zambia, K17.”
“It is a pure fallacy and selfish act to state that the Patriotic Front Government had failed.”
“You go to the poor people in the compound and you want to mislead them to remove a legitimately elected government, a government that has done so much in ten years, a government that has brought dignity in terms of roads, hospitals, and schools and saying they are a failed government because of the price of commodities. And prices are better in Zambia than in other countries.”
