LIFE has become hell under the UPND government and Zambians are missing the Patriotic Front (PF) because it was more caring than the new dawn administration which is pontificating righteousness yet economically brutal against, Stardy Mwale has said

Mr Mwale, the Patriotic Front (PF) Copperbelt chairperson has thanked God for allowing the UPND to form government so that its incompetency could be exposed so that Zambians could learn how to vote after being cheated.
Mr Mwale said despite the UPND labelling the PF as an organisation of thieves and the corrupt, life under the former ruling party was much better because most Zambians could afford to buy mealie meal and other basic needs.
He said apart from the escalating prices of essential commodities such as mealie meal and fuel, money had lost its value, while the much talked about rule of law was more rhetorical than practical “The UPND while in opposition boasted that they had solutions to poverty and hunger in communities and Zambians gave them chance to govern. Zambians listened to their lies, deceit and propaganda by giving them chance to prove themselves but alas, we have the new dawn of hell. This is why we thank God that he allowed UPND to form government so that their lies and deceit could be exposed.”
“They (new dawn) have done nothing in the two years they have been in government. They are bragging that they have delivered…delivered to who? To their slave masters? Certainly, not to Zambians.
I can tell you that life has become Hell under UPND than it was under the PF whom they labelled to be thieves and corrupt people,’’ Mr Mwale said
He said it was sad that within two years of the UPND in government, the price of mealie meal has been increased to a level where only a few Zambians could afford, a situation which has worsened poverty and hunger in communities
He said the UPND government should prove themselves that they were a caring and responsible government by concentrating on reducing the price of mealie meal and addressing the worsening poverty and hunger in communities.
Mr Mwale said if the UPND government was on course towards achieving economic recovery, alleviating poverty and promoting food security, it should not get unsettled by the criticism from the opposition but should remain focused to deliver its campaign promises.
He said it was shameful for the UPND government to have focused its attention on persecuting the opposition when it was failing to find a solution to the worsening poverty levels in the country.
“Often, governments which are incompetent concentrate on persecuting citizens who criticise them for their failure to deliver their campaign promises. They concentrate on witch-hunting and persecuting the opposition because they are incompetent and they want everyone to be singing praises for their incompetence,” Mr Mwale said.
He said the agriculture, mining and other sectors had become nonfunctional within a short time because of the poor polities being implemented.
