UNIP calls for unity in the countryJanuary 1, 2009
The United National Independence Party (UNIP) has called for unity among Zambians in the wake of the global financial crisis in order to address its effects on the country.
And the once ruling party has also called on its membership to intensify mobilization in preparation for the 2011 presidential and parliamentary elections.
UNIP Vice President Njekwa Anamela made these remarks when he led party officials and other members on behalf of party president Tilyenji Kaunda at the card annual renewal exercise in Lusaka today.
Mr. Anamela said the current global financial recession calls for all stakeholders to unite and help government find solutions to the challenge.
He said the prevailing world financial credit crunch is a reality that has affected most countries including Zambia which can not be ignored.
And Mr. Anamela has urged members of the party to ensure that they remain united in order to play their role of providing checks and balances to the sitting government effectively.
He said there is need especially for communities to ensure the local leadership is kept in check on various developmental projects government is supposed to deliver.
And UNIP Provincial Chairperson Judith Muteri reiterated the need to mobilize party members across the country in order to strengthen the 49 year old political party.
She expressed confidence that the party will retain back the power in 2011 once members are well mobilized throughout the country.
