“WE SHALL DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY” ~ Banda Sakanya.
President Hakainde Hichelena is on right track making sure Zambia realises the dream of a better Zambia.
In his campaign message to the Zambian people, he clearly stated that his administration will ” DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY” and this is exactly what he meant in the way he is running the country and making appointments.
There is anxiety for appointments from within UPND leadership and members who spent over 20 years in opposition and braced the PF brutality to see UPND form government.
Bally 1 will not copy cut the previous regimes’ kind of administration and that is the more reason why he is being more methodical and systematic in the way he is making appointments and running the country.
Everyone expected HH to fire all PF appointed positions and civil servants perceived to have supported PF openly and threaten UPND supporters with dismissals should have PF bounced back but HH will not copy cut that kind of administration because doing so will not be in any different from the out gone PF regime.
HH will not betray all his supporters that braced the PF brutality to form government and therefore, there is need to exercise a little more patient from within UPND leadership as the president is working all around the clock to ensure that his appointments doesn’t disappoint the 2.8 million that gave him and UPND the mantle to lead this nation.
President HH has categorically stated that his administration shall not tolerate any form of corruption hence a need for those waiting to be appointed to be extra cautious and bare in mind that appointments will be based on serving people and not for enrichment.
The country reached irreparable state, however, HH has within two months in office made positive strides in making sure tangible reforms are visible such as removing cadres from bus stations, markets and making sure civil servants are not harrased and threatened by the said PF legalised hoodlum thugs that created phobia in almost all civil servants.
HH is more determined to ensure that Zambia is for Zambians by making sure Jobs, businesses and contracts are given preference to Zambians. The president has in a very lucid way stated that food and shelter are a necessity to all Zambians and no one should lack them.
UPND leadership and members should excercise patience a little while and give HH chance to formalise his appointments.
Worry not about PF regrouping because when HH rolls out into action his formidable decentralized governance, the whole PF opposition party will have its short-lived regrouping excitement burried.
