ECONOMIC Front Party leader Wynter Kabimba is happy that Mr. Hakainde Hichilema is President today because he wants his incompetence to be exposed.Mr. Kabimba said that if Mr. Hichilema had not become President, he would have gone to his grave with the credit that if he had become President he would have turned around the economy for this country.“I know there are people out there who will think that I am bitter, but I want to tell those people that I am happy that HH is President today because I want his lies to be exposed. “If he had not become President he would have gone down the grave with the perception that he would have turned around the economy of this country,” Mr. Kabimba said. Mr. Kabimba said it was important that the lies he promised the people would be exposed.He said this was the reason why the UNPD administration should give space to those who are offering checks and balances to the government.Mr. Kabimba said he has noticed that so far the UPND was becoming intolerant to those offering checks and balances to them.“They are failing to engage in competition of ideas, I have read on social media where people insult me when I raise some issues but no account of intimidation is going to discourage us from holding UPND accountable,” he said.Mr. Kabimba said it was clear that the UPND got into power by false pretenses as is evidenced by the U-turns on the campaign promises it made to the people.He has cited continued load shedding, the hike in pump price of fuel, student’s meal allowances and mealie meal prices as some of the factors showing that the new dawn administration will not fulfill its campaign promises.“If there is a criminal offence that the UPND has committed, it is to win an election by false pretence,” Mr. Kabimba said.
