PF legacy reflected in infrastructure growth – Nakacinda
By NATION REPORTER
THE Patriotic Front legacy of infrastructure development is there for all to see and not the narrative which Presi- dent Hakainde Hichilema and his UPND want to sug- gest, PF Information chair- person, Raphael Nakacinda has said.
Mr Nakacinda says it is an illusion for President Hichile- ma and the UPND to suggest through the asset recovery narrative that the only busi- ness conducted by the PF in
the 10 years in government was to loot.
Mr. Nakacinda, who is PF chairperson for Information and Publicity, said the UPND is under some kind of funny fantasy that there are some PF members with stacks of money and resources that they obtained illegally.
He said in an interview that President Hichilema and his leadership are driving the asset recovery narrative be- cause they want to inculcate a poverty mentality in people by making them believe that
no Zambian could own any- thing legitimately.
Mr. Nakacinda said the UPND regime is slowly taking Zambia back to vigilante type of leadership where people were being asked questions about the source of their wealth and where even those that were properly dressed were being suspected to have plundered somewhere.
“What is driving that nar- rative is first of all, the pov- erty mentality that is being inculcated in our citizens, where no one believes their
fellow black man, worse still Zambian, can own anything legitimately
“So we are going in that di- rection, why, because HH be- lieves that he can be the only one and he should be the only one said to have money, said to be wealth purely for holistic purposes,” Mr. Nak- acinda said.
He said what would hap- pen is that people under the UPND regime would be ha- rassed and that properties of innocent people would be grabbed in an unjustified manner in the quest to feed into the asset recovery narrative.
