ZAMBIANS HAVE MOVED ON AGAINST HH – KABIMBA

By NATION REPORTER

ONCE Zambians turn their backs on President Hakainde Hichilema and move on, they never return and it will not matter how many public rallies or appearances he will make to regain their confidence, Economic Front president Wynter Kabimba SC has said.

Mr Kabimba, says President Hichilema has pushed Zambians to a breaking point with the highest cost of living ever and that no amount of dramatic progress made would change their minds to begin to chant along his rhetorical economic progression. 

“It does not matter how many rallies President Hakainde Hichilema would hold because Zambians are about to get to the breaking point where they will turn their backs on him because of the high cost of living. It is not wise to hold rallies in Mandevu and Matero where people are hungry, angry and miserable,” he said.

Mr Kabimba reminded the head of State of the promises he had made that things under his administration would be better, cheaper and easier but had instead embarked on an economic trajectory that had condemned citizens to deeper poverty and misery.

He said the appearance of President Hichilema in places where most people were hungry would not fill people’s hungry stomachs but would instead enrage them each time        they saw his huge motorcade.

Mr Kabimba said Zambians were aware that President Hichilema was fooling them by claiming that he understood their problems forhe did he would have been listening to their cries about how difficult life had become under his leadership. 

“President Hichilema and the UPND are taking people for granted which is a mockery to citizens. He should be the first one to learn lessons that what he is doing to others would would be done to him when he leaves power,” Mr Kabimba said.

He cited an example of how Zambians turned their hearts against the Patriotic Front (PF) even when it did a lot of good things for the country and when life was more bearable than it had become under the UPND government.

“There is a saying in Shona from Zimbabwe that says the fact that people are silent does not mean they are not talking,” Mr Kabimba said.

He said the fact that people attended President Hichilema’s rally did not mean they were not talking behind the scenes he the head of State had brought upon them.

Mr Kabimba who ushered the PF into power in 2011 as secretary general, said governing parties  usually stage managed their rallies, as people would be ferried from other constituencies.
