The UPND Secretary General Stephen Katuka
says it is clear that President Edgar Lungu and
his Patriotic Front have failed to govern the
country.
Mr Katuka has charged that President Lungu
and
the PF have no solutions to the problems they
have caused on millions of Zambians.
He said President Lungu’s ministers do not
even
understand what Zambians are going through
under their Leadership as they do not care
about
the suffering masses.
Mr Katuka noted that while Tanzania is
reducing
fuel pump price, President Lungu and his PF
are
seeing an opportunity for making money.
He said
“it is clear that President Edgar Lungu
and his PF went into government to eat and not
to serve the people of Zambia”.
Mr Katuka has advised the PF to impose
subsidies on imported fuel so that the
economic
realities arising from fuel increase do not create
further economic shock.
“Already, prices of some commodities in
supermarkets have been revised and these will
negatively affect the poor Zambians . Many
Zambians now believe that the PF went into
leadership without a plan and this is evident
from
the way they have destroyed the country”, he
added.
Mr Katuka said ever since President Lungu took
over leadership, the country’s economy has
been
sinking from a growth rate of 7 percent per
annum when PF took over government from the
MMD, Finance minister Dr Bwalya Ng’andu now
projects the economy to decline to 2 percent
next year.
He has urged President Lungu to resign and
allow for a serious leader to correct the wrongs
and economic hardships he has created as he
can change nothing even if he is given more
years to govern.
