Opposition UPND vice president for politics Canicius Banda says it is a mockery to the Zambian people for republican vice president Guy Scott to ask that the PF government be given 10 years more to develop the country further.
On Saturday yesterday, during the Chikwela Makuumbi traditional ceremony of the Soli people of Chongwe District, Dr. Scot observed that the PF government has scored more significant infrastructure development in the country but that more has to be done the more reason the people of Zambia should give the PF government 10 years more.
But Dr. Banda has told Qfm News by telephone that giving the PF government 10 years to govern the country is asking for more suffering.
He says this is because people of Zambia have allegedly become poorer than before in the last three years PF government has been governing the country.
Dr. Banda says he does not think that Zambians should be made to suffer when they live in a well resourced country.
He notes his party is of the thought that Zambia is failing to progress today because of alleged poor leadership on the part of the PF government.
The UPND vice president has stated that fact that Zambia has marked its Jubilee this year, the country needs a new breed of leaders with good leadership, good governance and good economic plans.
He says with such leadership qualities he believes the people of Zambia cannot suffer they way they are allegedly suffering under the PF government.
Dr. Banda has named his party as the one that has such qualities which therefore should prompt the people of Zambia to exercise their rights in 2016 to bring in a new government that of the UPND.
