WHAT A BRUTAL AND CRUEL LABOUR DAY GIFT BY PRESIDENT HICHILEMA’S GOVERNMENT.
01/05/2024
The fuel price increase announced by the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) for the month May 2024 is insensitive, desperate and brutal to our people, an indication that Zambia is in a serious economic crisis.
President Hakainde Hichilema and his Government have demonstrated, that they are out of touch with economic realities facing the majority of our people. Ba HH tabomfwa nakalya!
As the United Kwacha Alliance-UKA, we once again, we call upon President Hichilema and the new dawn administration, to convene an economic indaba that would make critical recommendations to the Government on defined aspects of our economy like fuel.
An economic Indaba held in National interest can provide solutions for a more resilient local economy for a prosperous Zambia. The Government must move swiftly before we sentence our people to a life time of poverty under the new dawn administration.

Kindly le HH swallow his pride and resign immediately he is taking Zambia nowhere
In 2024/31, vote wisely vote HH7
It’s global!
Follow the global trends to be well-informed!
Don’t just complain!
The winners are the NGUCHA thieves who went into filling station businesses and oil transportation big time!
We are actually better off.
It would have been worse under PF!
Our debt to PF OMCs would have continued to rise.
Our mines would all be dead.
No possibility of Debt Restructuring under PF!
Our Kwacha would be trending in the hundreds to a USD!
What that means is having worthless money and serious shortage of fuel like we experienced in Zimbabwe!
Better to have expensive fuel that is always available than having erratic supply.
If the New Dawn government had not exported some Maize to raise quick Forex, we would have been in this scenario of erratic supply of fuel, expensive fuel that is hard to find. We would have been used to long queues for fuel.
To avoid the economy grinding to a complete halt, the consolation is faithfully adjusting prices according to market forces.
When the mines come up to full operation, we should start seeing some stability in the exchange rate and fuel will start trending downwards.
It’s not in Zambia only where fuel is going up. Americans are also complaining about high fuel prices.
Imagine, they used to pay under $2 per Gallon of fuel during the Trump presidency.
They now have to pay over $7.
The Tragedy is that the war mongers want to make money.
Ukraine war, Israel Gaza, Iran wars and Rumors of war will continue driving fuel prices up!
The cost of living will also continue to rise.
The wise thing to do is to go back to basics. Trim down our budgets. Produce what you eat as part of cost cutting!
Go back to the land and you will be blessed! You won’t feel the pinch when fuel reaches K100 to a liter!
Empty empty writing, you. Have no clue the further damage he has caused to mining.
What if in 2024/25 rainy season there will be another El Nino, Version 2 and it doesn’t rain again? What use will going back to the land be, Sir? Eventually the underground water will also dry up, we can’t even do irrigation?
