Golden party knocks President Hichilema’s for being on ‘wild goose chase’

Golden Party of Zambia (GPZ) leader Jackson Silavwe has said Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema should not engaged in trivialities during the media address.

He said the President should have instead addressed issues concerning the welfare of Zambians.

Silavwe said President Hichilema lived in his “own make believe reality” far removed from the actual realities facing Zambian people.

“The President’s obsession with the Patriotic Front (PF) is now alarming. The President cannot continue to make PF a standard of his governance and economic success,” he said on Wednesday.

The people of Zambia said it all on his behalf when they voted the PF out of power adding that it was time for the President to lead the nation now.

He said President Hichilema dodged every question asked by the journalists as he did not effectively answer questions on harmonising his campaign promises such as the Barotseland agreement issue, which has been
contentious.

Silavwe said he expected President Hichilema to provide answers to the high cost of living, impact of load shedding, relationship with China,Copperbelt Mines such as Mopani Copper Mine (MCM) and Konkola Copper Mine
(KCM) among other issues.

He said fertilizer distribution during the 2022/2023 farming season had been chaotic, hence he expected the Zambian leader to provide answers.

“In his usual style, the President took the journalists and the nation on a wild goose chase to conceal his true thoughts or the lack of if on those key national matters and raised more questions,” Silavwe said.

He said the President seemed to only listen to himself and the Cabinet only listens to him.
“We truly fear for the future of our people,” Silavwe said .
