DON’T EXPECT MIRACLES, MAGANDE URGES ZAMBIANS … PF destroyed this country to the core

Former finance minister Ng’andu Magande says It’s expecting miracles to expect a government that has never been in power and is only three months old, to clear all the debt and arrest all the corrupt people, in a country “that was destroyed to the core.”

Speaking with Daily Revelation, Magande said what he saw during the PF reign was something he had never experienced before, saying it will take time to clear the mess.

“I have come to a conclusion that what Zambia has gone through the last 10 years, really is something that I never expected. Personally having worked outside the country, looking after 71 countries I only saw something like this in very few countries, where law and order just breaks down and people can do anything anyhow,” Magande said. “So to expect an opposition party which has never been in government to say in just three months now they should have already cleaned everything and cleared the debt I think it’s expecting something more of a miracle. It’s not easy.”

Magande said “Zambia has really been destroyed to the core”, by the previous administration.

“Some of the things that happened perhaps under the old man (Michael Sata) might not be corruption. But where you have so many contracts in one part of the country doing work, how do you say that is normal? And now you realise that some of the Infrastructure that was announced by the president it was not followed up by the same PF when president Lungu came up,” Magande said. “There is a road I hear I think Chama and I think somewhere in the north there, where the contractor started cutting up the hills, when the other president came in he didn’t follow up that project. But how much money was spent? So corruption is not changing of money it’s also doing projects which don’t make sense, not following rules.”

Magande said just because people had not seen arrests did not mean that there was no wrongdoing in the previous administration... continue https://dailyrevelationzambia.com/dont-expect-miracles-magande-urges-zambians-pf-destroyed-this-country-to-the-core/

Zambian politicians must change their mentality. How does empowering citizens and investment in human resource be a waste of state fund! Countries like Namibia in their constitution, free education is viewed as a right and it states clearly that every child has the right to free education until the age of 16. It is in this context why Namibia is ranked above Zambian when it comes to education. Belonging to opposition does not mean you should always criticise everything no! Sometimes you provide in put to improve the good idea. Look at TASILA LUNGU for example, she commended the cdf idea but stated that it was not enough. Mr, David Mabumba it's nonsense for you to decampaign the good idea of free education and how it will benefit the country's vast poor population.
National agenda mobile television ran the story below.
EDUCATION EXPERT DAVID MABUMBA SAYS FREE EDUCATION IS SHEER WASTE OF GOVT REVENUE.

MWENSE PF member of parliament David Mabumba says the free education policy that the UPND government has introduced will create a huge loss of income for the government.

And Mabumba says the 2022 national budget is not ambitious enough because but is targeting a 3.5 per cent growth against the 7 per cent growth that the country needs.

Meanwhile, Kawambwa PF member of parliament Nickson Chilangwa has described the 2022 national budget as populist and experimental.

Only one hour thirty minutes later I received a shocker when I received a sad news that my close friend Chester Mulutula had passed on.A close friend whom only months of completion of his grade twelve embarked on a movement he pioneered until his death on 25 th October ,2000.The movement was called Preservation Of Childrens Rights.Chester was a great debator at libala secondary school and participated in alot of church activities at matero Catholic church.His brother Derrick Mulutula can recall how the bumptious clan of Micheal Mukuka,Chester the late and I could do all the smart moves.rest in peace Galant soldier.
Another big loss came on this same day when I lost my Papa Mr Alfred Mutinta on 25 th October 2010.Thank you daddy for your time , your demise was unexpected as you just collapsed whilst taking a shower.rest in peace master of humbleness, you were a good man to everyone daddy I she'd my tears .

The little she had multiplied

Before covid 19
Let us vaccinate so that we get back to our old ways of living in this world.

Problem solving starts from the ground in our neighborhood.
As they say 'charity begins at home' therefore it is very important to know the people you are living with and possibly identify why your neighbour is suffering and what can you do to help.
Don't skip your neighbour who is not okay to go and donate elsewhere.start with your neighbour first.
We can change the country for the better from the neighborhood,ward,branch, constituency, district,province then national level.
You are the change we need get busy the time is now.

Let them tell you that you can't.
Hear it. Smile. Nod. Let it marinate inside you and light your fire.

Be aggravated, but don't show it. Then, know better and just do it. Damnit, do it.

Don't let your whole life be " I'll be happy when." Be happy now. They can't stop you.

You will be tested... and it's okay to show them you've studied. We don't give up around here, we eliminate what dosen't help us evolve! Friends who haven't supported you will see strangers celebrating you.

To all the doors that closed on you. You coming back to buy the building.

To all those rushing President Hakainde Hichilema to announce the cabinet be reminded that speed kills.

Thank You President Edgar Chagwa Lungu For a superberb hand over of instruments of Power in peace.

WE ALSO RECOGNISE ALL THOSE THAT HAVE PASSED ON DURING THIS PERIOD. (PAUSE)

MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN ETERNAL PEACE.

MY FELLOW ZAMBIANS,
TWENTY-THREE YEARS AGO, A VISIONARY BY THE NAME OF ANDERSON KAMBELA MAZOKA, TOGETHER WITH HIS COLLEAGUES FOUNDED THE UNITED PARTY FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (UPND).

IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE PROMISE OF A BETTER ZAMBIA.

A ZAMBIA WHICH IS UNITED AND PROSPEROUS.

A ZAMBIA THAT GUARANTEES BASIC NEEDS FOR ALL ITS CITIZENS.

A ZAMBIA IN WHICH THE FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND PROPERTY OF ITS CITIZENS ARE PROTECTED.

TODAY, WE BEGIN OUR JOURNEY TOWARDS REALISING THIS DREAM.

I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY, HUMBLED AND FILLED WITH GRATITUDE, FOR YOUR TRUST IN A SIMPLE VILLAGE BOY WHO YOU HAVE MADE THE SEVENTH PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA.

THIS VICTORY IS NOT MINE BUT FOR ALL THE CITIZENS OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH WHO TURNED OUT TO VOTE IN GREAT NUMBERS WITH GREAT ENERGY AND PASSION, AND MADE THIS DAY POSSIBLE.

WE SHOWED THE WORLD, THE RESILIENCE OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND WE REAFFIRMED THAT POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE.

YOU, THE PEOPLE OF ZAMBIA, RESOUNDINGLY SPOKE WITH YOUR VOTE AND I THANK YOU FROM THE DEPTH OF MY HEART.

THE PEOPLE DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR CHANGE AND TODAY, WE CAN BOLDLY SAY, CHANGE IS HERE!

THE ROAD AHEAD WILL NOT BE WITHOUT CHALLENGES BUT WITH A CLEAR VISION AND PLAN, WHICH WE HAVE, AND RELENTLESS DETERMINATION, WE SHALL OVERCOME AND DELIVER ON THE ASPIRATIONS OF OUR PEOPLE.

TO THE JOBLESS YOUTHS, A NEW DAWN IS HERE WHERE YOU WILL BE SKILLED AND FIND OPPORTUNITY TO WORK OR DO BUSINESS IN AN ECONOMY THAT WE WILL REVIVE.

TO THE MOTHER, STRUGGLING WITH THE HIGH COST OF FOOD, A LOWER COST OF LIVING WILL SOON BE A REALITY.

TO THE ENTREPRENEUR, SEEKING CAPITAL, AN INVESTOR AND A BETTER OPERATING ENVIRONMENT, A GOVERNMENT IS HERE THAT UNDERSTANDS YOUR CHALLENGES AND KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED IN ORDER TO THRIVE.

TO ALL CITIZENS OF ZAMBIA, THIS IS TRULY YOUR MOMENT!

FELLOW CITIZENS,

YOU HAVE ENTRUSTED THE UPND ALLIANCE WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SERVING YOU AND RUNNING THE AFFAIRS OF THE NATION WITH YOUR INTERESTS AT HEART.

WE DO NOT TAKE THIS RESPONSIBILITY LIGHTLY.

WE WILL TRULY BE YOUR SERVANTS AND YOU THE PEOPLE, OUR MASTERS.

AS YOUR PRESIDENT, I WILL ENSURE THAT WE DELIVER ON OUR PROMISES.

WE SAID BALLY AND TEAM WILL FIX OUR ECONOMY, BUT WE WILL DO MORE THAN THAT.

WE WILL GROW OUR ECONOMY SO WE CAN LIFT MORE PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY THAN EVER BEFORE.

WE WILL PROMOTE UNITY IN DIVERSITY AND ENSURE RESPECT FOR THE FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS FOR ALL.

WE WILL RESTORE THE RULE OF LAW, GENERAL ORDER IN OUR PUBLIC PLACES AND COMMUNITIES, AND RETURN OUR COUNTRY BACK TO NORMALCY.

READ MY LIPS, NO MORE CADREISM!

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,

I PRAY THAT GOD WILL CONTINUE TO GUIDE US THROUGHOUT OUR JOURNEY.

HE IS OUR ANCHOR IN ALL SEASONS.

I WISH TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK MR. EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU, OUR OUT-GOING PRESIDENT, FOR HIS SERVICE TO THIS NATION AND FACILITATING A SMOOTH TRANSITION.

WE CHOOSE NOT TO CALL IT “TRANSFER OF POWER” BECAUSE POWER BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE.

IT IS THEREFORE TO THE GREAT CREDIT OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION THAT TODAY MARKS THE THIRD PEACEFUL, DEMOCRATIC TRANSFER OF LEADERSHIP SINCE THE ADVENT OF MULTI-PARTY DEMOCRACY, THREE DECADES AGO.

TO MY BELOVED WIFE, MUTINTA.

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE FOR YOUR UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, SUPPORT AND COUNSEL.

I THANK MY CHILDREN AND THE ENTIRE FAMILY FOR THEIR UNWAVERING SUPPORT.

TO MY RUNNING MATE AND NOW VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ZAMBIA, MRS. MUTALE NALUMANGO, I SAY THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR VISION AND BEING A RELIABLE PARTNER THROUGHOUT OUR JOURNEY TO THIS DAY.

I AM CONFIDENT THAT, TOGETHER, WE WILL DELIVER TO THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE.

FELLOW CITIZENS,

TO ALL THE LOYAL MEMBERS OF THE UPND ALLIANCE AND THE WIDER UPND FAMILY, I AM GRATEFUL.

YOU WORKED DAY AND NIGHT, TRAVERSING ALL CORNERS OF THIS COUNTRY TO GARNER THE TRUST OF OUR PEOPLE, UNDER VERY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES.

YOUR HARD WORK AND COMMITMENT HAVE, INDEED, STEERED US TO VICTORY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NAONGA CHOMENE, NATOTELA SANA, LUITUMEZI ZAHULU, TWASANTA, NATAIZYA, ZIKOMO KWAMBIRI, TUNASIKILILI MWANI, TWASAKWILA CHIKUMA MWANE, NDALUMBA KAPATI.

WE COMMEND THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF ZAMBIA FOR ENSURING THAT THE ELECTIONS WERE SUCCESSFULLY HELD DESPITE THE RAVAGING COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND OTHER CHALLENGES THAT WE BELIEVE WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST.

I WISH TO THANK AND COMMEND ALL POLITICAL PARTIES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE ELECTIONS.

YOUR PARTICIPATION MAKES OUR MULTI-PARTY DEMOCRACY STRONGER.

TO YOU WE PLEDGE A BETTER DEMOCRACY WHERE YOUR VOICES AND RIGHTS WILL FREELY BE EXECISED.

TO THE CHURCH, WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND GUIDANCE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE ELECTIONS.

TO OUR TRADITIONAL LEADERS, YOUR WISE AND INVALUABLE COUNSEL IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

TO OUR COOPERATING PARTNERS, WE SINCERELY THANK YOU FOR THE MATERIAL AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT TOWARDS THE ELECTIONS.

YOU, ONCE AGAIN, HAVE DEMONSTRATED TRUE FRIENDSHIP.

TO THE VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS, PARTICULARLY THE ELECTION OBSERVERS AND THE MEDIA, BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL, WE THANK YOU FOR THE ROLE YOU PLAYED IN THE ELECTIONS.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,

AS WE EMBARK ON OUR TERM OF OFFICE AS PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT REPUBLIC, WE SHALL ABIDE BY THE VISION OF OUR PARTY TO HAVE A UNITED, PROSPEROUS AND EQUITABLE ZAMBIA.

I, THEREFORE, INVITE EVERY ZAMBIAN TO JOIN HANDS WITH US AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS NOBLE JOURNEY.

I INVITE THE PRIVATE SECTOR ON THIS JOURNEY.

THE ZAMBIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.
THE ZAMBIA CHAMBER OF MINES.
THE ZAMBIA ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS.
THE ZAMBIA NATIONAL FARMERS UNION.
THE ZAMBIA FEDERATION OF EMPLOYERS.
THE LABOUR MOVEMENT.
THE TOURISM COUNCIL OF ZAMBIA.

I INVITE YOU ALL!

LET US ALL GET BETTER ORGANISED SO WE CAN DELIVER BETTER LIVES FOR ALL OUR PEOPLE.

I INVITE ALL POLITICAL PARTIES TO WORK WITH US WITHIN THE REMITS OF A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY.

WE MUST PUT ASIDE OUR ELECTION RELATED AND OTHER DIFFERENCES AND PULL IN ONE DIRECTION AS A COUNTRY.

WE HAVE A LOT MORE THINGS THAT UNITE US THAN THOSE THAT DIVIDE US.

WE MUST DEVOTE OUR ENERGIES TO CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFULLY TO OUR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

I INVITE THE CHURCH AND THE TRADITIONAL LEADERS TO CONTINUE PROVIDING SPIRITUAL AND MORAL GUIDANCE AND TO BE TRUE PARTNERS IN DEVELOPMENT IN PURSUIT OF BETTER LIVES FOR OUR PEOPLE.

I INVITE THE CIVIL SOCIETY TO CONTINUE COMPLEMENTING OUR DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.

I INVITE OUR DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS TO CONTINUE YOUR COOPERATION AS ZAMBIA’S RECOVERY REQUIRES CONCERTED EFFORT.

GOING FORWARD, YOU WILL SEE RATIONALITY, PRUDENCE AND EFFECTIVENESS FROM OUR SIDE.
FELLOW ZAMBIANS,
OUR FOCUS OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS WILL BE ON RESTORING MACRO-ECONOMIC STABILITY AND PROMOTING GROWTH OF THE ECONOMY.

WE WILL PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO LOWERING THE FISCAL DEFICIT, REDUCING PUBLIC DEBT AND RESTORING SOCIAL AND MARKET CONFIDENCE.

WE WILL ALSO PROMOTE NATIONAL UNITY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE BY STRICT ADHERENCE TO THE RULE OF LAW.

WE WILL FOCUS ON INCLUSION AND NOT EXCLUSION.
UNITY, AND NOT DIVISION.
GATHERING AND NOT SCATTERING.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,

(I) ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT

OVER THE LAST DECADE, WE HAVE WITNESSED THE EROSION OF OUR ECONOMY.

THE DEBT SITUATION HAS BECOME UNSUSTAINABLE, REDUCING THE COUNTRY’S CAPACITY TO INVEST IN PRODUCTIVE AREAS OF OUR ECONOMY AND ADDRESS THE GAPS IN HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION AND OTHER SOCIAL SERVICES.

OUR NATIONAL BUDGET HAS BEEN OVERWHELMED BY DEBT SERVICING, EMOLUMENTS AND CONSUMPTION, WHEN THERE SHOULD BE GREATER ROOM FOR INVESTMENT, FOR GROWTH.

THE HIGH LEVELS OF UNEMPLOYMENT, ESPECIALLY AMONG OUR YOUTH IS OF GREAT CONCERN TO US AND THIS WILL BE HIGH ON OUR AGENDA TO ADDRESS.

FOOD SHOULD BE AVAILABLE AND AFFORDABLE FOR THE PEOPLE.

THE PEOPLE HAVE HOPE AND EXPECT US TO ADDRESS THE COST OF LIVING THAT IS BEYOND THE REACH OF THE MAJORITY OF OUR CITIZENS.

THE SCOURGE OF CORRUPTION HAS NOT ONLY ERODED OUR MUCH-NEEDED RESOURCES, BUT IT HAS ALSO ROBBED US OF THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH.

WE SHALL HAVE ZERO TOLERANCE TO CORRUPTION.

THIS WILL BE OUR HALLMARK. THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION WILL BE PROFESSIONAL AND NOT VINDICTIVE.

THE INSTITUTIONS MANDATED TO INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE WILL BE GIVEN UNFETTERED AUTONOMY TO EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY CARRY OUT THEIR MANDATE WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOUR OF POLITICAL BIAS.

WE ARE DETERMINED TO FREE OUR COUNTRY FROM THE ILLS OF MISMANAGEMENT AND MALPRACTICE, AND PROMOTE THAT WHICH IS BETTER.

WE WILL UNDERTAKE AN AMBITIOUS ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION AGENDA TO MOVE ZAMBIA FORWARD, CREATE EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL OUR PEOPLE, AND REDUCE POVERTY.

WE BELIEVE THAT A TIME WILL COME WHEN POVERTY IN OUR COUNTRY WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.

NO ZAMBIAN SHOULD GO TO BED HUNGRY.

NO EFFORT SHOULD BE SPARED IN SALVAGING THE CHILDREN ON THE STREETS OR THOSE ENGAGED IN VICES SUCH AS ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE.

OUR ADMINISTRATION WILL ALSO PRIORITISE ESTABLISHING A STABLE AND PREDICTABLE ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL PROMOTE PRIVATE LOCAL, REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT, PROTECTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY AND GROWTH AND GENERATE VALUE FOR ALL STAKEHOLDERS IN OUR SOCIETY.

WE WILL AGGRESIVELY PROMOTE THE CREATION OF JOBS AND OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL CREATE WEALTH, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR YOUTH, WOMEN AND INDEED ALL CITIZENS.

GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH ABUNDANT NATURAL, HUMAN AND OTHER RESOURCES THAT WE WILL DERIVE GREATER VALUE FROM, THOUGH VALUE ADDITION AND THE PROMOTION OF GREATER SUPPLY CHAIN PARTICIPATION BY OUR CITIZENS.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,

SOME OF OUR KEY PRIORITY SECTORS THAT WILL DRIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH AND REDUCE POVERTY, ARE AGRICULTURE, MINING, ENERGY, FINANCIAL SERVICES, TOURISM, TECHNOLOGY, HEALTH AND EDUCATION.

IN AGRICULTURE, WE WILL WORK TO ENHANCE PRODUCTION, AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICES, MARKET ACCESS, VALUE ADDITION AND LOWERING THE COST OF INPUTS.

IN MINING, WE WILL STRIVE TO INCREASE COPPER AND OTHER MINERAL PRODUCTION SO THAT ZAMBIA CAN RECLAIM ITS PLACE AS ONE OF AFRICA’S LEADING MINING COUNTRIES.

WE SHALL PROMOTE EXPANSION OF THE MINING VALUE CHAIN AS WELL AS THE PROMOTION OF MINERAL DIVERSIFICATION.

WE WILL, THEREFORE, ENCOURAGE THE PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING OF GEMSTONES, GOLD, NICKEL, MANGANESE, IRON, INDUSTRIAL AND OTHER MINERALS.

WE WILL PUT IN PLACE MEASURES TO FACILITATE LOCAL OWNERSHIP AND INCREASED PARTICIPATION OF ZAMBIANS IN THE SECTOR.

RECOGNISING THE IMPORTANCE OF ENERGY FOR DEVELOPMENT, OUR ADMINISTRATION WILL TRANSFORM ZAMBIA INTO AN ENERGY SURPLUS COUNTRY.

WE WILL, THEREFORE, IMPLEMENT AN AMBITIOUS ENERGY INVESTMENT PLAN TO INCREASE POWER GENERATION AND FURTHER BROADEN THE ENERGY MIX.

IN ADDITION, WE WILL PUT IN PLACE A CONDUCIVE POLICY ENVIRONMENT TO ENCOURAGE PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, DISTRIBUTION AND RETAIL IN THE SECTOR.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,
TO IMPROVE LAND ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT IN THE COUNTRY, MY ADMINISTRATION WILL PUT IN PLACE A TRANSPARENT POLICY FRAMEWORK.

WE WILL PROMOTE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO LAND FOR ALL CITIZENS.

WE WILL STRENGTHEN THE LAND TENURE SECURITY AND ENHANCE SUSTAINABLE UTILISATION AND PRODUCTIVE MANAGEMENT OF LAND RESOURCES.

THE POTENTIAL OF THE TOURISM SECTOR WILL SOON BE REALISED THROUGH THE PROMOTION OF ZAMBIA AND ITS VARIOUS TOURISM ENDOWMENTS AS THE DESTINATION OF CHOICE.

THIS WILL INCLUDE REVIEWING VISA REQUIREMENTS, BUILDING SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE AND REVISING TAX RATES.

ECONOMIC COOPERATION, TRADE AND INVESTMENT, SECURITY FOR PEACE AND STABILITY, AND DEVELOPMENT, WILL FORM A CRITICAL BASE FOR OUR FOREIGN POLICY.

(II) NATIONAL UNITY

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,

I WANT TO ASSURE THE NATION THAT UNDER OUR ADMINISTRATION, THE ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION MOTTO SHALL BE OUR WAY OF LIFE.

WE ARE INDEED, ONE ZAMBIA AND ONE PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF YOUR RACE OR ETHNICITY.

WE HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR ANY FORM OF DISCRIMINATION AND WE COMMIT TO ENSURING OUR GOVERNMENT WILL BE A REFLECTION OF OUR TEN PROVINCES.

WE TREAT DIVERSITY AS A STRENGTH, NEVER AGAIN SHOULD ANY DIFFERENCE BE USED FOR POLITICAL MILEAGE OR TO FAVOUR ONE OVER ANOTHER.

EVERY CITIZEN WILL BE AVAILED EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF OUR NATION.

WE WILL NOT BE SELECTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO DEVELOPMENT OF OUR COUNTRY.

ALL REGIONS WILL HAVE AN EQUITABLE SHARE OF INVESTMENT.

(III) GOOD GOVERNANCE AND THE RULE OF LAW

THE UPND ALLIANCE ADMINISTRATION WILL ENHANCE GOOD GOVERNANCE AND STRICLY UPHOLD THE RULE OF LAW.

WE WILL LIVE UP TO OUR CAMPAIGN PROMISES BY ENSURING THAT ALL CITIZENS ARE EQUAL BEFORE THE LAW.

WE IN THE EXECUTIVE SHOULD NOT INTERFERE IN THE WORK OF THE OTHER ARMS OF GOVERNMENT.

OUR CONSTITUTION PROVIDES SEPARATION OF POWERS OF THESE ARMS OF GOVERNMENT AND WE WILL, THEREFORE, ENDEAVOUR TO PROMOTE THIS PRINCIPLE IN ORDER TO ENHANCE GOOD GOVERNANCE.

COORDINATION TO DELIVER FOR OUR PEOPLE WILL HOWEVER BE OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE.

FELLOW CITIZENS,

IT IS A NEW DAWN.

THE FOURTH ESTATE, THE MEDIA WILL BE FREED.

TIME HAS COME FOR ALL ZAMBIANS TO BE TRULY FREE.

I WANT TO REITERATE WHAT I SAID DURING MY ACCEPTANCE ADDRESS THAT GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN POLITICAL CADRES WOULD TAKE OVER THE FUNCTIONS OF PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS IN MARKETS, BUS STATIONS, GOVERNMENT OFFICES, AND OTHER PLACES.

OUR ADMINISTRATION WILL NOT ALLOW SUCH DISORDER.

SANITY WILL RETURN TO ALL PLACES.

THE DAYS OF GOVERNMENT WORKERS BEING RETIRED IN NATIONAL INTEREST FOR POLITICAL OR UNFAIR GROUNDS, ARE OVER.

THE DAYS OF POLITICAL INTERFERENCE IN PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND PARASTATALS ARE OVER.

FELLOW CITIZENS,

WITH REGARDS TO EDUCATION, WE WILL PURSUE POLICIES THAT WILL ADDRESS THE CORE BARRIERS OF ACCESS TO EDUCATION.

WE WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT ESTABLISHED STANDARDS FOR QUALITY EDUCATION ARE MET AND ENFORCED.

IN ADDITION, WE WILL ENHANCE LINKAGES BETWEEN EDUCATION AND INDUSTRY TO ENSURE GRADUATES HAVE RELEVANT AND EMPLOYABLE SKILLS.

FURTHER, WE WILL PROMOTE INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR JOB AND WEALTH CREATION.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,
TO REALISE THESE ASPIRATIONS IN A SYSTEMATIC MANNER, OUR ADMINISTRATION WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT RATIONALISED, SUCCINCT, AND ACTIONABLE PLANS.

THESE PLANS WILL FOCUS ON ACHIEVING ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND DIGITAL REVOLUTION WITH JOBS AND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, TOP ON THE AGENDA.

THE PLAN WILL ALSO INCORPORATE OTHER MEASURES CRITICAL TO THE ATTAINMENT OF OUR NATIONAL VISION TOWARDS BEING A MIDDLE INCOME NATION OVER THE YEARS AHEAD.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,
TO ACHIEVE THE ZAMBIA WE WANT, WE MUST WORK TOGETHER AS A PEOPLE.

A PEOPLE UNITED IN DIVERSITY UNDER OUR MOTTO OF “ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION.”

THIS IS WHAT OUR FOUNDING FATHER DR. KAUNDA BELIEVED IN.

TO ACHIEVE THE ZAMBIA WE WANT, WE NEED TO BE COMMITTED TO HARD WORK.

WITH HARD WORK, PATRIOTISM, DISCIPLINE AND DEDICATION, WE WILL ACHIEVE AND ATTAIN OUR NATIONAL ASPIRATIONS.

WE MUST BE INNOVATIVE AND IDENTIFY LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS OUR PROBLEMS.

WE MUST BE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS AND AS YOUR GOVERNMENT, WE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO LISTEN AND TO SUPPORT YOU.

WE MUST ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND INCLUSIVENESS IN OUR DEVELOPMENT AGENDA.

WE MUST MITIGATE AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE AND STRIVE TO BUILD A GREEN ECONOMY.

WE MUST RESPECT, PROMOTE AND PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF ONE OTHER.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,
THE DEFENCE AND PROTECTION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF ZAMBIA, IS CRITICAL TO THE REALISATION OF OUR DEVELOPMENT AGENDA.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS THE RESPECT FOR OUR CULTURE AND HERITAGE.

WE NEED ETHICAL AND SERVANT LEADERSHIP AT ALL LEVELS OF SOCIETY.

WE NEED MORALITY, INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,
UNDER OUR ADMINISTRATION, OUR COUNTRY WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF REGIONAL, CONTINENTAL AND INTERNATIONAL BODIES.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO ENHANCING INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND FOREIGN RELATIONS.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO PROMOTING OPEN AND CORDIAL RELATIONS WITH OUR NEIGHBOURS AND COUNTRIES ON THE CONTINENT AND BEYOND.

WE ARE EQUALLY COMMITTED TO PURSUING A FOREIGN POLICY BASED ON MUTUAL INTEREST AND RESPECT.

AS INDICATED EARLIER, THE ENHANCEMENT OF ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY AND TRADE FACILITATION WILL BE PARAMOUNT.

FELLOW ZAMBIANS,
I STAND BEFORE YOU AND WITH YOU, AS YOUR PRESIDENT AND A TRUE SERVANT.

A PRESIDENT DEVOTED TO TAKING OUR COUNTRY TO GREATER HEIGHTS.

I PLEDGE A BETTER ZAMBIA FOR ALL.

GOD BLESS US ALL.

GOD BLESS OUR DEMOCRACY.

GOD BLESS OUR GREAT REPUBLIC, ZAMBIA

GOD BLESS AFRICA AND OUR GLOBAL FAMILY.

I THANK YOU ALL.

For immediate release from Antonio Mourinho Mwanza

STOP THE LIES, THE MALICE AND THE HATRED AGAINST ME

19th August, 2021

Following the outcome of the 12th August general elections I have seen unprecedented heightened levels of LIES, MALICE, HATRED and PROPAGANDA being channelled at supersonic frequency against me. The idea is to demonize me, assassinate my character and raise public anger against me for crimes I have never committed.

1. "CUT MY MANHOOD IF HH WINS ELECTIONS" STORY

Let me begin by stating a simple fact that this is a FAKE story that was published by The New Vision Newspaper.

The said Newspaper APOLOGISED to me personally about this fake story of theirs but looking at the gravity of the damage this fake story has caused on my reputation, I proceeded to sue the Newspaper for damages.

The case is coming up this month and I will prove in court that the story is false and this will send a clear message to all media outlets to learn not to spread falsehoods and fake news.

2. ALLEGATIONS THAT I AM ON ZESCO PAYROLL

Again, this is another fake story being perpetuated by those whose mission is to slander my character. I am NOT and I have NEVER been on any ZESCO pay roll.

I challenge anyone to produce evidence of this falsehood. Further, I wish to beseech ZESCO Management to clear this fake and useless rumour that I have been on their pay roll.

3. CORRUPT DEALS

I have never been engaged in any corrupt deal. I have never at any time had any business dealings with Government. I have never committed any crime. I am as clean as a whistle.

4. HH HAS NEVER PAID ANY SCHOOL FEES FOR ME

For a long time now some people have been spreading falsehoods that President-elect, Mr. Hakainde Sammy Hichilema paid my school fees. I want to categorically state that President-elect Mr. Hichilema has NEVER at any time paid my school fees. I have NEVER at any time in my life gotten a coin from Mr. Hichilema.

Suffice to say that, I and President-elect Hichilema shared a very close political relationship from the time that he came in to UPND in 2006. I supported Mr. Hichilema to the hilt; I was even expelled from UNZA for my support of UPND and President-elect Hichilema. So to be lying that Mr. Hichilema took me to school when he has never at any time given me even a coin is quite painful.

5. "ANTONIO NEVER GRADUATED"

I am a graduate of the University of Zambia. Check your records.

CONCLUSION

I am a free citizen and like any other citizen of this country I have the right to freely participate in the governance of this country without any fear of retribution, injury, malice or insult. The fact that I do not support your party or your candidate should never make me your bitter enemy. These are just politics, don't them personal.

Finally, I want to thank His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu for his leadership and his indelible contribution to the development of this country.

Stop the lies, the malice, the hatred and the propaganda against me.

God bless Zambia.
