The long time Government critique Joshua Chisa mbele commonly known as “Mneneri”has criticised Democratic Progressive Party for politicising the 44 percent devaluation saying the devaluation is timely.
Writing on his Facebook page “Where was DPP when President Joyce Banda became the President and devalued the currency with 50%,”
Chisa mbele says Dr Kabambe has had an impressive and colourful Cv. Where was he when Joyce Banda took over?
Chisambere asks which administration perpetuated Cashgate? Joyce Banda might have changed Ministers but the entire civil service was Blue.
“Point: Devaluation decision is not a cheap political stunt to score political points.
We have two critical issues in this country to take care of:(a) The ailing economy which is in a Comma. (b) The poorest of the poor who happen to be the majority of our population, “he says.
Mbere says the Kwacha will either fall further on its own or it will regain the losses if economy is reformed .
“In 1980s the Zambian Kwacha was less than a paper it was printed on. The Shops were empty. No Fanta. No Coca Cola. No Sobo. It takes men of courage to accept the truth and change the discourse,” he says.
He urges DPP to stop politicising the medication.
“We will struggle, yes. No question about it BUT there is no shortcut to heaven. You have to die first. Pass through the valley of dry bones,” he says.
