“As government we know that unlocking these mines will make the country closer to attaining the three million tonnes copper production which is the target,” he said in a statement on Wednesday.

Matambo encouraged Zambians to continue ticking on the campaign promises list rather than listening to the opposition whose job is to oppose everything that the government does.

“While in opposition, the UPND promised free education and it has been delivered, it promised massive job creation for the youths and it has delivered while opening up more jobs also in the private sector, it promised increased CDF and it has delivered K28.3 million from K1.6 million,” he said.

Matambo said the UPND also promised to bring back the economy into positives from negative three and today, he said the economy was growing at positive three as well as many other promises that have been fulfilled so far.

“The UPND also promised to reform pensions act and today NAPSA partial withdrawal has been reformed and Copperbelt residents and all Zambians are happy,” he said.

He said the new law will give citizens the opportunity to reinvest the funds into various ventures and assets of their choice.
