Zambians Must Get Rid Of PF -Nawakwi

Finance minister Alexander Chikwanda’s unplanned and continued borrowing will land this country in serious bankruptcy, says FDD president Edith Nawakwi.
Speaking in Mufulira, where she was campaigning, Nawakwi said the level of borrowing under the PF government was alarming. Chikwanda recently obtained Cabinet approval to acquire a US$52.5 million loan from the World Bank. The loan was rejected by president Michael Sata in August 2014. The Cabinet also authorised Chikwanda to borrow US$70.1 million loan from the Nordea Bank of Denmark to give to Kafubu Water and Sewerage Company.
But Nawakwi said Zambians must get rid of the PF, which was now borrowing and carelessly fattening the country’s debt due to lack of proper fiscal policies. “Chikwanda was finance minister in the 1970s and cannot bring the same ideas of old days now.
They [PF] are borrowing without caring about the sufferings of the people. People have continued to suffer despite all this unnecessary borrowing. Where are they taking the same money? The level of borrowing is really shocking,” Nawakwi said. “Zambia needs a good economic manager to manage the resources of the country.
I was finance minister before and I never behaved like our current minister. They will explain to us after January 20 where they are taking our money.” She said Chikwanda was expected to be wary of the fact that the economic trends had changed and that his policies of just borrowing like it used to be done in the 1970s were long gone.
Nawakwi said the PF government through the finance minister was expected to be consulting on how to manage and keep the economy effective for Zambians. “What is lacking to keep the economy sound is good leadership. There is no way people can be in leadership without direction.
The confrontational attitude of PF is making the country bankrupt because they do not want to listen.
They are only interested in amassing wealth at the expense of our poor people,” said Nawakwi.

The problem in Zambia is utter jealousy. You will see most often that a former minister of a particular ministry, especially finance, will always attack the incumbent. They know how sweet he is feeling hence the jealous.

Edith has so far not told anyone about her manifesto just like HH. Their campaign is about discrediting the opponent.

On my way from Lusaka west I saw HH’s bill board that listed things like;

More jobs
Farmers
Low mealie price
bla bla bla.

But alas! This advert did not at all mention anything on how he will archieve such good deliverable. The chap has lost it completely.

At PF we are saying;

1. “We shall reduce mealie price by SETTING UP MILLING PLANTS IN DISTRICTS”.

2. We shall decentralize and create markets for agric produce by LINKING ZAMBIA

3. Improve lives of people by L200 project, reopen NITROGEN CHEMICALS, KAPILI GLASS FACTORY SOON ETC.

4. Develop Western province by linking this important part through infrastructure development. Mongu-Kalabo road.

4. Improve education. go and see Mulungushi University

5. Respect the rule of law. Its evident.
6. No abuse of public resources. Its our goal.

    That is where you lose the plot. That billboard is much bigger than the page on which I put the PF way of stating promises. If you chose to put a promise on the board, it better be complete instead of hollow words. Who cant say that?
    
    See below;
    
    1. More jobs by …………(briefly state how)e.g. Create state cow ranches in districts.
    
    2. Low mealie prices ….by milling plants in each district
    
    3. etc
    
    If you cant state on bill boards, at list qualify that during your rallies. But alas! all we hear on your rallies is Edgar, Edgar what, Edgar there and Edgar here.

better to borrow and supply clean water in ndola. Nawakwi should be concerned on how the money will reach the kafubu water and sewarage to improve on sanitation.
we are still waiting the delivery of maize(is it carlington maize saga?) under nawakwi as minister of finance.
i agree,its just sheer jealousy

High fuel prices & u think Zambia can develop. Pathetic fs r totally blank. Even wen u ve indicators on market trends around the world, u cant reason ba pf sure. HH alone is better than the entire pf thinking capacity

  January 4, 2015 at 9:57 am
  
  So you think HH will be milking diesel from Cows? Wake up!
  
  If you think HH can subsidize consumption, you are cheating yourself. HH is even more Capital than PF ideology.
  
  Its simple economics. We do not earn much Forex and we have to import the oil and other products from overseas which put a strain on the exchange rate and that drives the price.
  
  The starting point is developing the infranstructure for Zambia, promote investment and incourage manufacturing for the regional market and earn Forex.
  
  For us at PF, we chose this overlooked beginning.
  
  All countries that developed their industries, started with the Agriculture revolution, then industrial revolution. The catalyst for all this is infrastructure development.
  
  Roads
  Schools and Unis
  Health care and water supply
  Dams
  etc
  
  SAY SOMETHING. I AM SURE YOU ARE AMAZED AT MY MANIFESTO.

    IM NOT AMAZED KEN. PRICES ARE EASY TO REGULATE AND THAT IS WITHIN HH’S CAPABILIITIES. YOU THINK HH IS MORE OF A CAPITALIST PROBABLY BECAUSE HES RICH. BUT ONE OF THE CONCEPTS OF GETING RICH IS REGULATING YOUR EXPENDITURE (NCREASING INCOME AND REDUCING ON EXPENDITURE). I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT HH IS ONE BEST MAN WHO PRACTICALLY HAS THAT KNOW-HOW.NOW, CAN YOU GIVE ME THE REASONS WHY THE COST OF LIVING RAPIDILY ROSE UP JUST AFTER THE PF GOT INTO POWER?

over 200 million dollars debt by pf in less than 3 years???? Now what will follow is not privatisation but foreignaisation. very soon zambia will be controlled by other countries due to debts. modern colonisation if pf is not voted out n replaced with upnd
- Ken
  
  January 4, 2015 at 6:40 pm
  
  You do not even have the correct figure HAMBZ. The debt is actually much higher than your petty money mentioned. We need even more of such debt to develop rapidly and pay later. It is much cheaper.
  
  HH will not turn his Cows into dollars overnight ba guy.
