FOR how long will the “blame it on PF” be the answer to every failure to perform by the UPND in government? In 2021 it was “it’s because we are using the PF budget they left.”
Now we are in 2022 and under the first UPND coined budget from start to finish in about next 25 days and they are still blaming the previous administration.
Next, we have been hearing the blame game shift to civil servants even after firing whoever they claim was sympathising with PF. They are however still blaming the ones they did not fire or ones they recruited themselves.
As far as they are concerned, the national challenges are due to everybody except the very people (UPND) entrusted to govern the country.
Late fertiliser distribution for instance is mainly due to the overzealous Minister of Agriculture who wants to instantly change every process he found in the FISP.
Change in government systems is a gradual process and any ‘haste is waste’ (in the entire farming season in this case).
At minimum the UPND government need to take full ownership of challenges encountered in governing a nation and citizens will understand.
Running Boma is never a smooth ride. It will however not do to insist on the “blame game management methodology.”
Can’t wait for them to soon start blaming God.
