It is business as usual under President Lungu-Hamududu

Share

Bweengwa UPND MP Highvie Hamududu has charged that President Edgar Lungu is struggling to govern because he has not defined his vision.

Mr Hamududu said despite President Lungu representing the young generation of leadership, his administration is following the same path old leadership.

He said many Zambians expected President Lungu to define his own vision, ideals and plans which has failed to do four months after becoming President.

‘Look at his motorcade and that of his Vice President, they are still using long motorcade when the country is broke. They need to stop mismanaging the resources of this country. President Lungu is swearing in people every three days of the week, when does he get to work?’

Mr Hamududu continued, ‘it is a disgrace that we keep doing the same old things that have failed. We are changing Presidents but we are not changing our social and economic situation.’

He said President Lungu is excessive adding that saving state resources should start with him as President of Zambia.

‘He needs to pronounce himself. When President Mwanawasa started fighting corruption, everyone including DCs started fighting corruption, with President Lungu will do not know his stance on corruption and his Ministers are stealing because they know he is also stealing.’

‘President Lungu has continued on the same destructive path of late President Sata. He has continued poaching hungry and useless MPs from the opposition, not because they are adding value to the ruling MP but because they can increase numbers.’

The Bweengwa MP charged that UPND MPs who are serving in the PF government are doing so for their own bellies.
He added, ‘Most of these chaps the PF is recruiting is just about numbers and not for value addition. He needs to talk to HH if he is interested in a working coalition with the UPND and not poaching UPND members,’ Mr Hamududu said.

Mr Hamududu observed that other countries in the region such as Namibia have identified the critical role that the opposition plays in governing the nation.

‘Just here, our neighbours Namibia are doing it. The new President is now regularly inviting the opposition for talks on how to improve Namibia. Here what we see is HH being arrested everywhere he goes. We expected President Lungu to move the country forward by dropping these archaic laws that impede on our freedoms.’

  1. Thats how it is when you have a generation of useless cadres.more especially in the ruring party who vote for a human being bcoz of relations and not one who can change the social and economic situation.

  2. Looking for a day when we can have a visionary citizen and visionary Leader. At the moment we have more of a vision less people who have no vision to choose a visionary leader. Until then ni malabisi chabe.

  3. MR HAMDUDU; IN THE MIND IT’S ALWAYS PERFECT. JUST AS IT IS IN YOUR MIND AND IN THE MIND OF MANY UPND CADRES. U BELIEVE THE “PERFECT PICTURE” IN YOUR MIND THAT YOU ARE ONLY ONES THAT CAN GOVERN BETTER–SO DOES KABIMBA, NAWAKWI, NM AND REST BUT ALAS! NO ONE, NOT ANYONE WITH THE BEST INTENTIONS NOT EVEN U OR HH WILL EVER BRING ABOUT PERFECT ENVIRONMENT FOR THE PEOPLE. OTHERWISE AMERICA WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE POOR BY NOW..

  4. Expecting PF to deliver is saddening. Show me among the many promises that PF made and have been fulfilled and i will show you the failed ones. In all honest PF has lamentably failed, and our next hope is UPND under the able leadership of one HH. If they as well fail to deliver which i strongly doubt, then it will be high time we were led by a lady in the name of Nawakwi

  5. How long has Mr Highvie(what a name) Hamududu been MP for Bweengwa? I take it for more than 1 year. Has Mr Hamududu come up with a vision for Bweengwa? My guess is NO because he is waiting for the government to do that. We have opposition leaders who just TALK, TALK, TALK and NO action. ECL has said it already, he will continue with the development projects which were started by the late MCS.
    2016 WILL BE FULL KOLOPA TIME AGAIN

  6. How can HH be put in the limelight when he is the one goi@g about insulting the leadership of Zambia overseas and locally. HH is a failed leader because he thinks it’s him alone who has the answers to everything and his supporters thinks likewise. Tell me who can put such a person in power anywhere … The ans is nil. If updn thinks they stand a chance of winning any election with such a mediocre leadership mubepelefye.

  7. NOW YOU ARE TALKING MWANAABAAMA! YOU ARE SEING THE HELL WE SEE IN LUNGU AND HIS EXTRAVAGANT PF TEAM. HAVING LUNGU AS PRESIDENT OF ZAMBIA IS SIMPLY ANOTHER TIME WASTED FOR ZAMBIA BY ZAMBIANS. WHAT A SHAME!

  8. Please stop complaining; the man ECL told you he had NO vision but you still went ahead and voted for him.

    You made your bed, so sleep in it!!

  9. Imagine a man with no vision beating men and woman with visions then the visions they posses are fake for Zambia.
    People voted for the legacy rather than Edgar because yo visionary leaders had presented useless dreams .
    2016 Edgar will campaign based on his own vision and will see how the hyenas with their visions are going to fair.

  10. A long motorcade 4 president and vice president z constitutional and a security requirement u foolish *****s.hamudulu shud ask HH how much he pays hz farm workers,nd hl b shocked.
