HH’S MONEY FROM USA MAY COME WITH WEIRD CONDITIONS

-

Dear Editor,

ALLOW

me to comment on the so-called US$25.8 billion pledges which UPND president Hakainde Hichilema is said to have secured for Zambia from the United States.

And already, some gullible Zambians have swallowed his bait. Please know that pledges are mere pledges that can easily melt into nothing.

Our own Zambian Developmen­t Agency (ZDA) has been announcing pledges worth billions of dollars for years and some of them have simply vanished into thin air and that is normal.

The other worry about UPND foreign money is that it will come with conditions such as same-sex marriages, homosexual­ity, doing away with the clause in our constituti­on that supports Zambia’s declaratio­n as a Christian nation and allow demons from America to drink coffee from this great nation.

There is absolutely nothing to be excited about those pledges. They may all come to nothing.

For me, it’s a cheap gimmick by HH to hoodwink Zambian voters.

It is the same old story which Mr Hichilema wants to sell using the back door and which I think the majority smart Zambians will never buy.

I think also that Zambians should be asking Mr Hichilema about the money in his off-shore accounts and indeed payment of BP Zambia retirees through his Saturnia Pension Scheme whose many members have died without getting their money.

On the issue of sanctions, I don’t know why the subject was raised at all.

Why sanctions against Zambia? What wrong has the country done to the USA to deserve sanctions? Is it for refusing gay marriages or what?

While Saudi Arabia kills people who are against the Prince, kills gay people etc but no sanctions and America is not bothered yet it is thinking of imposing sanctions against Zambia without proper reasons.

It’s such double standards and I sometimes don’t like aid from USA and those who go there.

They don’t seem to have the interest of the people but their puppets they want to install in power so that they can use mother Zambia.
