UPND MOCKS PF ON FAILED BILL 10
THE UPND in Southern Province has accused the ruling PF of creating a “national mourning” of the Constitutional Amendment Bill number 10 instead of addressing pressing national issues.
UPND Provincial Information and Publicity Secretary, Neto Halwabala, demanded that the ruling party must immediately end the “self-imposed national mourning” on the failed Bill 10 of 2019. “The Speaker of the National Assembly has guided on the collapsed
Bill 10 and the Patriotic Front in its usual style of ‘never lose a game of lawlessness’ wants to justify and mislead the Zambian people,” Mr Halwabala said.
He added: “PF Member of Parliament for Chifubu Frank Ng’ ambi should not have displayed fear for standing with the people on Bill 10.
“If he had a problem with voting system, he should have sought help immediately from the expert rather than exposing his fear for the PF tyranny,” he said.
Mr Halwabala consoled PF MPs who were being reprimanded to be strong and stand for the people they represented instead of being defensive.
“There is no need to be afraid of PF because those three MPs represent the people who voted for them. As UPND, we thank the three MPs for standing with the people,” he said.
He observed that the economy was underperforming and yet the leaders in Government were failing to provide solutions to the economic crisis.
“The rainy season is here but the government is busy with its national mourning over the dead Bill 10 and threatening their own MPs who rejected the poisonous Bill 10
“We urge the Patriotic Front to engage UPND on economic policies for the betterment of our country,” he said.
