Mr Hichilema says the Patriotic Front went into government without a plan for the country, but for purposes of sharing jobs amongst themselves.
Speaking to Q fm, Mr Hichilema says the Patriotic Front lied to the people on a number of things which they have failed to fulfill.
Mr. Hichilema points out that miners and mine contractors have lost jobs, while mealie meal prices have gone up among other things which is a clear indication that the PF has failed to run the country.
He says he warned the people of Zambia against voting for the PF in the 2011 elections and that he is now being vindicated.
Mr. Hichilema adds that President Michael Sata has changed from being a man of action to man of negative action.

HH you are a useless critic. Provide tangible alternatives if you are really sympathising with the silent majority who are loosing jobs. You do not even have credible leaders in your so called UPND party to lead us. You are just a chatterbox! In less than 2 years, you want everything to be in place!

You’re failing to read between the lines. This what happened during the ru up to 2011 elections you were on top of your voices that Hakainde is president come 2011 but he came terribly distant third. Some you will say am living in the past glory, but things haven’t changed Hakainde cannot match with Mr Sata in any election.

What can hakainde do if lets say he comes into power? The truth is if Mr Sata fails to deliver then just know without any oata of boubt that noone will change things here in zambia.What can Hakainde do,to bring his cattle here in the city? Am quite optimisitic by 2015 zambia will never be the same again considering the massive developments we are seeing though pipo like Hakainde and his supporters see nothing of which we know they have just chosen to be blind. Viva pf!!!

Point of correction, Mr Sata is still a man of actions only that now they are illigal, suprising or mediocre actions.

You can see and judge what type of an economist HH is. Kadansa should note the following;
1. In economic terms we look at unemployment rate. In a reberalised economy jobs will be lost and gained and net effect is what HH should talk about. AT lumwana, miner who worked for the closed contractor will be taken over by Barrick. Barrick does not subcontract and the President cannot do anything about that.
2. HH should speak about how much mealie meal has gone up above the economic trends. Look at the drivers for these increase. The President and Zambia has no control over the price of petroleum products.
3. The increase in mealie meal price are the aftershocks of the previous govts corruption and also the effects of fear of shortage due to the army worms. The demand of our maize has more than trippled from our neighbouring countries due to their failed produce. There is too much illegal trade of the comodity to the DRC, Malawi, Zimbabwe and even Tanzania. Its a fact.
If President Sata does not care about the future of Zambia he would stiffle Production to temparary please the people. Production would collapse.
Kadansa is so jealousy of the PF programs that he has even employed all mechanism of how to say negatives to hood wink the unsuspecting followers. They study what to say and how to canningly model their speeches.
Like the VP said. The opposition is currently misleading the nation. They are so insincere. Cheats of the waste grade.

Zambians should watch out for useless leaders. We appreciate the efforts PF is taking but the truth is work culture is not changing. Look at our pathetic labour laws. Sata should strive to fish out useless expetriates and deport them. We need true expatriates with skills not found in Zambia for us to learn. VIVA SI 32of 2013 which i believe has good measures.

Just on the very topic of expatriates. Many have double salaries where the other half is paid in their home countries and it is not taxed under PAYE. ZRA should carry out 100% audits specifically for expatriates so that they look at the contracts and how much is paid as PAYE.
