The opposition People’s Party (PP) has appealed to the Patriotic Front (PF) government to refocus and begin governing the country based on the promises it made prior to forming government.
PP President, Mike Mulongoti has also observed that the pride of the PF administration will make them exit office in 2016.
Mr. Mulongoti has told QFm in an interview that the PF did not have a national development strategy and their inability to provide good governance is making them resort to unorthodox means of prosecuting those they perceive to be politically ahead of them.
Mr. Mulongoti says time has come for Zambians to review the social contract they signed with the ruling party in 2011, stating that the paradise they were promised has turned out to be hell.
He says it is disheartening that the PF has turned civil servants such as Permanent Secretaries and District Commissioners into political tools meant to advance the political agenda of the ruling party.
The PP leader has also noted that Parliamentarians who had defected from the opposition political parties to the PF had completely destroyed their political careers because no political party in the country would ever want to associate itself with them.
Mr Mulongoti says it is not strange that the PF government has failed to fulfill most of their promises because they did not want to consider workable ideas from both the opposition and stakeholders on how best they can govern the nation.

Seriously, given a choice between Sata and Mulongoti, I would rather have Cycle Mata than Nickel Mupongoti. Who has forgotten the arrogance he exhibited whilst in power? These are chaps who give politics a bad name….
