YOU CAN’T TALK VALUES AND PRINCIPLES ON ON A EMPTY STOMACH – EFF
There is no dignity in poverty. We cannot be talking about national values when the general citizenry is wallowing in poverty.
How do you talk about national values when the low level human hierarchical needs are not met at all?
How do you talk about national values when people cannot afford to buy Meali meal the stable food in the country, which is fetching at K200? When there is critical shortage of medicine and medical reagents in hospitals. When our peasant farmers have no farming in puts.
How do you talk about national values when our youths are jobless? Mopani Copper Mines and Konkola Copper Mines are merely under care and maintenance.
How do you talk about national values when your country owes over $ 27 billion and has no concrete plan on how to sort out the mess in the country? The waste we don’t have a concrete economic plan on how we are going to get out of the abject poverty our country has been experiencing.
In a nut shell, you can’t talk values and principles on an empty stomach! Therefore, the speech by President Hakainde Hichilema yesterday on national values was as empty as many speeches he has always been making.
Wherever we want to go, our feet shall take us there.
