Vice President Guy Scott says a number of initiatives are underway to create decent jobs in the country. Dr. Scott has explained that since the PF took over government nine months ago it has been restructuring the economy, which would be a basis for creating employment.

The Vice President was speaking on a ZNBC LIVE television programme dubbed Sunday Interview on Sunday night. And Dr. Scott has stressed that government will not give any preferential treatment to any foreign investors.

He says investors from all over the world including the Taiwanese are welcome to invest in Zambia.

Meanwhile, Dr. Scott says government has been sourcing for long term funding to build houses in the country.

He says currently the country has about three million housing deficit.

And Dr. Scott has advised opposition political parties who have a tendency of running to foreigners whenever they are aggrieved to STOP.

Dr. Scott has explained that any well meaning Zambian should strive to work together towards developing the country.

The Vice President is particularly concerned that some of the things some opposition leaders say are NOT useful to the country.

And Dr. Scott says the PF government has always had an open door policy, adding that opposition leaders are welcome to approach government on issues they feel aggrieved with.
