There are better economic prospects for Zambia in the near future-Kambwili

Share

PF’s campaign mobilizing stalwart Chishimba Kambwili says there are better economic prospects for the country in the near future.

Mr. Kambwili says this is certain as the ruling PF is making brave decisions to ensure the well-being of the people, adding that the party still remains pro-poor.

Speaking during a public meeting in Mkushi today, Mr Kambwili said that brave decisions such as taking over the operations of Mopani and Nchanga large scale mining companies , are some of the brave decisions by President Lungu’s administration aimed at uplifting people’s lives.

“ PF Government infact has plans to revisit the Terms of Trade with investors in large scale mining sector, “ he said adding : “ the aim is to ensure that conditions are made favourable for the country to gain from these investments.”

Pointing out that there is need for optimism among Zambians towards the prospects of better economy, Mr Kambwili said that the PF Government is poised to ensure that the country gains from the recent trend in which world copper prices have drastically increased from $5,000 per ton to $10,000.

He explained that the drop in copper prices had precipitated the economic hardships that have resulted in high cost of living as well as the rising prices of commodities.

He said that despite this, the PF Government had made strides in bettering the lives of the people over the past 10 years, saying that 172 health facilities as well as 150 health posts had been constructed across the country.

Further, the PF campaign mobilizing stalwart stated that President Lungu’s administration maintained social welfare safe nets such as Social Cash Transfer(SCT), and subsidizing the small scale farmers with the Farmer Input Support Program(FISP) to cushion the impact of poverty.

He therefore implored Mkushi residents to give maximum votes to PF Presidential candidate Edgar Lungu, PF Mkushi North Candidate Christopher Chibuye and PF Mkushi Council Chairperson Candidate Evans Bwalya during the 12th August general elections.

  1. I was disappointed to hear Hon. Kambwili get to verify people from the Southern Province when he featured on a radio program in Mkushi. LT, you have not brought this out or made reference to it. Not a bad thing on your part because that would be extending hate speech. Please countrymen & women, the end should not justify the means. Let us be sensitive to the way we communicate particularly if we have some semblance of leaders. We are a young republic that should be nurtured well. The people from SP never speak ill of other tribes; at least on radio. They also have demonstrated in the past of voting for other tribes candidates instead of their own. Example is 1996 when they voted for Chiluba instead of Nkumbula under National Party. President Lungu has enough merit to point at. Let us not…

  5. How did Kambwili address a rally when rallies are banned? And how far has his personal declaration of having 70 properties gone, when those with less number of properties like 48 houses are being investigated. Isnt 70 greater than 48 in Mathematics

  6. I must confess that we have totally failed, because all economic stats are in negative. Why should I cheat here that we are doing well , and this malaise start even before credit, mostly driven by reckless borrowing and poor economic management

  7. Hon. Kambwili is pro-poor and is not IMF or Anglo American darling. Whenever copper prices are low, our foreign investors protect their $, not that they are not thankful to us but because they opt for better alternative investments. The reason they prefer HH. ECL and CK have only one alternative to protect Zambians because they understand nothing good will come out of IMF dependence. ECL decisions, as of now, are pro Zambian. South Africa mining power house see hope in HH to get to our copper and cobalt to benefit from high prices. This election is; Giving away resources Vs protecting resources.

    “Public meeting” is the new name for ‘campaign rallies’… there! Just say ‘public meeting’ and the banning of campaign rallies by ECZ will not apply to you.
    What a country!

    This man and GBM shoul never be brought close to PF achievements (If any), don’t let them use you, ba PF, ….these are immoral people, cowards, untrustworthy, the list goes on.

  14. PF’s campaign mobilising stalwart? Why have you decided to identify him as such? Why not Turncoat Kambwili? Or NDC escaper? There are better economic prospects for Zambia in the near future he says yet he was saying tthe opposite a few weeks ago. The truth is just that having made his way back to PF he now hopes therewill be better prospects for his floundering businesses
