KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE BALL Zambia needs an economic and social programme-HH
Lusaka - 26th July 2010
United Party for National Development President Hakainde Hichilema has urged the citizens of Zambia to remain focused and keep their eyes on the ball.
United Party for National Development President Hakainde Hichilema has urged the citizens of Zambia to remain focused and keep their eyes on the ball.
Speaking in Lusaka at the backdrop of the confusion that seems to have marred the pact, the UPND President stated that the country cannot develop on a platform of disunity
“We need to keep our eyes on the ball and focus on the bigger picture. People must understand that PF and UPND need each other; anything short of that is self-deception, where there are people there is always misunderstandings and their maturity will be judged by the way they resolve their differences. You can’t develop Zambia on a platform of disunity. The most important issue about the Pact was to put in place an economic and social programme for the country not who becomes a president, so the most important thing here is the common interest of the Zambian people,” said Hichilema
We need to put in place a government that cares about the plight of the people. He questioned how the MMD government expects a child coming from a poor family to pay K3.5m for accommodation at the University of Zambia when the family cannot afford a single meal. We need to put in place a government that will ensure that the agricultural policies are sustainable. A responsible government must ensure that they pay the right price for crops so that the farmer is able to grow another crop in the following year as opposed to the prevailing situation where farmers are forced to sell their crop to brief case businessmen at a give away price.
