Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi has charged that the ministry of Finance is currently in wrong hands.
Commenting on Finance Minister’s Alexander Chikwanda remarks that the country is within sustainable growth and there is no possibility of failing in another debt trap, Ms Nawakwi says she is worried because President Michael Sata will have to bare the blunt of the country’s economic mismanagement.
Ms.Nawakwi states that by the time the Patriotic Front leave office, the country would have accumulated about 8.2 billion dollars in borrowing due to reckless expenditures.
Ms Nawakwi states that it is only fair for President Michael Sata to persuade Mr. Chikwanda to retire and take into consideration that he is not relevant to the economic aspirations of the country.
Ms. Nawakwi has also challenged the ministry of Finance through the central bank to tell the nation how much is in the foreign reserves.
it hurts to be in opposition!

Chikwanda is the dullest finance minister ever in this country! From his talk u see an old uninspiring directionless man who is just fit to be in a mental ward!

Yes for sure we all remember the maize scandal. She thinks we have short memories. However am sure she still has a right to comment on any issue pertaining to the Government of the day because she is still a Zambian citizen. This is however dependent on someone’s integrity/consciousness. I wouldn’t comment if I were her because I would still have shame from my past dealings.

Last year on radio’s let the pipo talk,made a ****** coment on the road projects by the PF. “ati bushe abantu bakulalya imisebo? ” If she cant understand the importance of having a good road network,how the hell will she understand other matters relating to governance?

With Sata absent from public eye ( ZNBC plays historical images) what can be expected from his co archeological materials like Chikwanda? Sata cannot supervise and run an economy, because it calls for basic logic and not mediocrity.
