OF LIARS, ZAMBIANS CAUTIONED By

OPPOSITIONpoli- ticians promising to improve the state of the coun- try's economy overnight are blatant liars seeking to win the support of the electorate through propaganda, false- hoods and malice,'' Patriotic Front (PF) Chimwemwe par- liamentary candidate Allen Banda has cautioned.

Mr Banda said opposition politicians have no solutions to the economic challenges facing the country, but were merely desperate to form government because of their own personal and business interests which included auctioning the mines to their business partners.

In an interview in Kitwe yes- terday, Mr Banda said, because they wanted to serve their own personal and business interests if they formed government, they were ready to do anything to win the 2021 elections even if it meant losing human life.

"A politician who real- ly cares about the people he would love to come and serve, he would not like to plunge the country into chaos by inciting people with falsehoods, malice and propaganda. No, he will actually preach peace and unity in diversity.

"A responsible and caring politician will be cautious about the deadly Covid-19, but it is disappointing that we have some opposition politicians misleading people about Covid 19 and even telling people that they will change the economy overnight. This level of desper- ation is very dangerous,'' Mr Banda said.

Mr Banda has urged the electorate in Chimwemwe constituency to ignore the lies from some opposition politi- cians and ensure that they vote for the PF candidates from ward level to the republican President Edgar Lungu.
