NOW that the UPND budget has taken effect, the government should stop the blame game that they have been playing in the last few months and concentrate on working for the people of Zambia because dwelling on the past will not help them, Cosmo Mumba has said.
Dr Mumba, who is National Revolution Party (NRP) president, said it was high time the UPND administration started working on delivering the promises they made to the people now that their budget had come into effect.
Dr. Mumba also said that the hypocrisy that the UPND government had exhibited last year should not be carried in 2022 because people were not going to tolerate it.
He said that it was highly hypocritical for UPND to have said that they had inherited empty coffers but out of the same empty coffers they were able to release the constituency development fund and pay retirees last year before their budget became active.
“Let them tell us where the CDF funds came from since the coffers were empty. Did the money come from empty coffers?” he asked.
Dr. Mumba said the government was not supposed to be spreading propaganda because that mentality should have been had left it in the opposition.
He said that now that their budget had started working he expected them to do more working than talking.
