Following the allegations UPND repeatedly made prior to elections last year, the opposition Patriotic Front (PF) says they are agree they are ‘thieves’ for doing roads at between US$750 to US$1 million per kilometre, but challenged President Hakainde Hichilema to say what UPND should be called for suggesting to do roads at $1.8 million per kilometer.

PF Vice President Given Lubinda asked UPND during a briefing in Lusaka today what name they should be given for suggesting that roads should be done at US$1.8 million per kilometre.

“What is the feasibility of this project? K3.7 billion to do 200, 200 kilometres road translates to US$1.8 million per kilometre. Why? President Bally why? You called the PF names for doing roads at between US$750 to US$1 million,” he said.

“You called us names you called us thieves, what should you be called for suggesting that we increase the cost from US$1 million to US$1.8 million per kilometre, what name should we call you for suggesting that you increase the cost from US$1 million to US$1.8 million? What name should we call you? You called us thieves for US$1 million per kilometre, what name qualifies to be yours? We agree, we are thieves….US$1 million per kilometre yes we are thieves, but tell us what name should we use for you?”
