PRESS STATEMENT ON 8TH NOVEMBER 2021
ZAMBIAN’S SHOULD FORGIVE THE ARCHANGEL IN STATE HOUSE IN THE NAME OF PRESIDENT HAKAINDE HICHILEMA FOR CALLING OUR FORMER PRESIDENT’S AND OTHER LEADER’S AS CLIQUE OF THIEVES.
As Rainbow party, we are extremely disappointed with the statement issued by President Hakainde Hichilema upon arrival from the UK that Zambia has been ruled by clique of thieves since 1964. The statement is irresponsible unacceptable and an insult to our former president’s and other leaders that have ruled this country before.
Today he is a president of Zambia because the some former leader’s he is calling as clique of thieves gave him free education and inspired him to become the President of this great republican.
As Rainbow party, we appeal to president Hichilema to calm down and apologize to the people of Zambia for that insulting statement against our past leader’s. And we ask president Hichilema to stop projecting himself as the only righteous leader or an archangel that has ruled this country. Let him swallow his pride and understand that he is not the first and last president to rule this country. He should tone down and concentrate on fulfilling his campaign promises of providing free education from nursery to university, reducing fertilizer to k250, reducing Mealie meal prices to K50 , sell presidential jet by 14:00hrs and give back meal allowances to students, make the kwacha appreciate to k5, Increase civil servants salaries by K1,500 and other promises.
The former presidents such as KK… provided President Hichilema with free education and many other facilities he is enjoying were done by past leader’s he is calling clique of theives. Thus it is unacceptable for him to start demeaning our former leader’s for many development they did. President Hakainde Hichilema has done nothing apart from spending time complaining and doing blame games politics. Let him stop self praise and show leadership that can earn him praise among the Zambians
Lastly, we ask the people of Zambia to forgive President over that careless statement. He has been absent from the country for some time and he is excited after taking selfies with whitemen ( Muzungus) in the UK.
