Former Home Affairs Minister Stephen says the New Dawn Administration should stop blaming the previous Administration and start finding solutions to the problems facing the country.
Hon Kampyongo said the UPND must realise that they are in charge and that it is time to find solutions for the people.
And Hon Kampyongo said it is not necessary to fix the voices of those giving checks and balances in order to be at peace.
He said to make those talking irrelevant, the people’s expectations need to be met.
Hon Kampyongo was speaking on Radio Phoenix let the people talk programme.
“Blame game will never work, it cannot even put food on the table. You can only blame your predecessor to a certain extent as a way of trying to buy peace with the people but at some point it will wear out. Let them realise that they are in charge because blame game won’t reduce the fuel price,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hon Kampyongo said it is Prudent to collectively discuss solutions to the problems facing the country.
“Offering checks and balances also means to also agree in those issues that are being progressive. The issue of fuel is affecting both the Ruling party and the opposition.
If there were mistakes that were made knowingly or unknowingly in our time, that is part of public service. Human beings are prone to mistakes. Even the new dawn Government are not angels,” he said.
In another development, Hon Kampyongo has reiterated that there is need to avoid using the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) as the only way of implementing the decentralisation policy.
He said CDF should be one among other modules to implement decentralisation.
“If you do not have structures on the ground, it will be very difficult for you to implement decentralisation because some of the districts are far apart. There are still issues that we need to resolve such as empowerment for the youth and women which is supposed to be a revolving fund. Let’s have structures that can deal with the component of Empowerment.
The CDF committees may not have the capacity to assess beneficiaries of these empowerment funds and recover the funds,” he said.
As one short man once declared his constituency a ‘no go area’ in order to deter a colleague from campaigning ..so vicious was he resolve that stones were hulled at the air transport hired to go and campaign….also katondo street for the transaction of hard currency has not been forgotten…and then a man who really did not like intellectuals made him mini-star…the rest are the results we now live with….
Honourable Kampyongo, you are right. New doom government thought it was easy to run government with under five as president.
Economy its PF, Fuel is Ukraine, High cost of living is PF. When is the new doom government going to address challenges facing the country at large.
I echo your words sir. These failures will continue blaming pf and when they lose the next general elections they will also blame us for their loss. They are all f00Is
TIME IS NOT UP FOR BLAMING PF IT WILL TAKE YEARS
THEY WERE DISHONEST AND TOLD THE NATION lies lies lies
it’s only when this got into power did they see the true state of the nation
so hh was promising on the lies pf was feeding us
who would know the truth back then
if upnd lose elections next be rest assured it wont be to pf !!!
There are more than $30 billion reasons why PF can never be forgotten
Look who’s talking…yet you spent 10 years cricizing HH for everything. Do you guys have a clue what’s happening .Ignorance will land you in a ditch.
One of the $30 billion reasons is FP created huge problems expecting UPND to fix them. First, PF thieves should be arrested and claw back stolen assets to fix the problems Kampyongo and his gang created.
He is too short to see what is happening around the world.
With criminal minds … not fit to have been appointed as minister.
He did not know what his role was. “HOME AFFAIRS/SECURITY”
By the time this midget Kampyongo and his corrupt friends’ court cases come up people will have forgotten…Zambian Judical system is slow even Bowman has time to visit embassies …really laughable
Toxic corrupt PF was like molten magma or trans-Atlantic slave trade – their negative effects are still ongoing and being felt.
PF has smashed the country beyond repair.
No one can repair this country.
IMF is even smashing the already smashed
Economy.Bally is just giving Zambians false
Hopes.
For as long as the PF Kaloba of $14billion is chocking the economy, we will keep reminding them of the curse they put on Zambia
Just wait sir. Musa Menye is still doing push-ups and frog jumps. By the time he is finished, you would have danced ndendeule
