Alliance for Democracy and Development (ADD) president, Charles Milupi has observed that the MMD government is too mesmerized by anyone called a foreign investor so much that indigenous people are becoming second class citizens in their own country.
“Zambians are being made to suffer because their government has been made to surrender to the investors,” Mr . Milupi said

Mr. Milupi said this is evident by the failure by the government to condemn the Chinese mine owners who shot at 11 miners in Sinazeze who were protesting over improved working conditions.

ADD president noted that the shooting at Collum coal mine is a clear tragedy and an indication that government has given too much priority to the foreign investor above their own people.

He said government has made foreign investors feel that they are kings in this country and weigh above the Zambians who are hosting them.

Mr. Milupi further blamed government for the failure by the foreign investors to respect the laws of this country.

He said it is for this reason that the government could not lift a finger against the investors no matter how serious what they have done is.

“Zambians are being made to suffer because their government has been made to surrender to the investors,” Mr . Milupi said.
