Zambia: Don’t direct energies on removing MMD, Milupi challenges opposition

Luena Independent Member of Parliament, Charles Milupi has challenged opposition political parties not to direct their energies on removing the MMD from power but offer practical solutions that will improve the economy of the country.

And Mr. Milupi has said politics of insults being perpetuated by some political leaders is not helping the country to move forward. He says politicians aspiring to lead the country should convince the voters by defining their plans to move the country economically as well as programmes aimed at reducing poverty.

Mr. Milupi who was speaking in Mazabuka when he featured on radio Mazabuka’s Live Wire programme yesterday said it is disappointing to note that politicians are instead engaged in trading insults without offering solutions on how they are going to revive the economy once voted into office.

He said he had a discussion with the PF-UPND leadership but declined to join the pact because of the different visions for the economic development of the country. Mr. Milupi explained that until the agenda for the pact is reviewed, he would not join the PF-UPND pact.

He said among the issues he raised were that he would only join a political party with national wide support and that gives confidence to the people.

Mr. Milupi urged Zambians to be careful with some political leaders engaged in trading insults at the expense of defining what they are capable of doing to improve the economy.

He warned that while some political parties have huge support, Zambians should not experiment leadership because some leaders may plunge the country into serious economic problems which will be difficult to handle.

Mr. Milupi who openly declared that he is capable of running the affairs of the country, however said, a new political grouping to be launched soon is an alternative to ending the high poverty levels and under development in the country.

Meanwhile, a named senior provincial PF leader and an MMD party official were spotted at radio Mazabuka and offered a lift by Mr. Milupi to a secret place where they had lunch together.

The PF official had difficulties to accept that he was a PF provincial executive committee member when asked by the presenter of the of the programme.
