STOP BLAMING ECL FOR YOUR FAILURES, SP ADVISES HH

- By ROGERS KALERO

PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema has no solutions to the economic challenges, worsening poverty and hunger, which have continued to ravage various communitie­s and that is why he has continued blaming former President Edgar Lungu and the Patriotic Front (PF), the Socialist Party has observed.

Martin Chikwanda, the Socialist Party Copperbelt provincial chairman says President Hichilema has failed to deliver on many of his campaign promises because he did not have a plan of how best to achieve economic recovery and national developmen­t. Mr Chikwanda said during a press briefing at the party’s secretaria­t in Kitwe that Zambians shall not continue listening to the lies, propaganda and cheap political rhetoric of the UPND because they have suffered enough and had lost confidence in the ruling party.

“We have seen enough of incompeten­ce and lies from the UPND. President Hichilema and his new dawn administra­tion have lamentably failed to deliver on any of their campaign promises and Zambians cannot allow such leadership to continue.

President Hichilema has failed to find solutions to the worsening poverty and hunger in the country because he had no plans for this country,” Mr Chikwanda said.

“He has now resorted to blaming the PF and former President Lungu for his own failures because he has no solutions to the economic challenges and the worsening poverty and hunger that have continued to ravage homes in various communitie­s,” he said.

Mr Chikwanda said the shameless conduct of the UPND government and its allies of singing its own praises when hunger and poverty were ravaging homes of the majority Zambians was nothing but ridiculous.
