GIVE COHERENT PLANNING TO ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY – MMD URGES PF

MMD president, Nevers Mumba

The Opposition Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) has urged the Patriotic Front (PF) government to give its coherent planning pertaining to the economic frontline for the country.

MMD president, Nevers Mumba, says it serves no purpose singing the song of peace without sorting out matters of poverty which remain outstanding and continue to ravage the majority people.

Commenting on remarks by motivational speaker, Myles Munroe, who was recently in the country that Zambia cannot eat peace, Dr Mumba advised the PF government to explain a clear economic guideline and some of its strategic ways of fighting hunger across the country.

In an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today, Dr Mumba said without an effective plan, no economic achievement can be recorded despite the persistent talk on the significance of maintaining peace and order.

He alleged that the PF government had not made a concrete national plan which could set the ball rolling for the country's national development.

Dr Mumba further denied offering assistance to any developmental scheme, saying the PF wanted to be in office and therefore it was its onus now to deliver what it promised its electorates.

He said the former ruling party, the MMD, is only waiting to see the PF bring development to all parts of the country.

Dr Mumba, however, praised government for showing great commitment towards combating corruption, poverty and high unemployment levels across Zambia.
