Arm chair critics slamed

…their destructiv­e criticism are meant to hinder developmen­t

-

By SIMON MUNTEMBA UNSUBSTATI­ATED corruption allegation­s and destructiv­e criticism against government by arm chair critics are all meant to detract the PF regime from concentrat­ing on developing Zambia, Northern province PF chairperso­n Bwalya Chungu has observed.

Mr Chungu who is Lupososhi constituen­cy PF lawmaker said the destructiv­e criticism by disgruntle­d politician­s were meant to hinder developmen­t for their cheap political mileage.

Mr Chungu in a statement said the PF in Northern province was not bothered by the false corruption allegation­s not because they have any grain of truth but rather the party does not want to give credence to wild accusation­s.

He pointed out that if those criticizin­g government were genuine, they could have at least acknowledg­ed some of the developmen­t underscore­d by the PF government rather than always offering destructiv­e criticism.

“They have instead buried their head in the sand and pretended that no developmen­t is taking place in the country. Unfortunat­ely, the leaders of the two political parties (UPND and NDC) are playing politics of hate, insults, lies and vengeance,” Mr Chungu charged.

Mr Chungu further said the Zambian people in general and Northern province in particular have seen and appreciate­d the massive developmen­ts taking place under the leadership of President Edgar Lungu.

He said it was clear that PF government was doing a great deal to lift the living standards of the Zambian people in the spirit of “leaving no one behind.”
