HH addresses a rally in Kafue

UPND president Hakainde Hichilema says he is happy that he has already started providing national leadership and direction while still in opposition.

Mr Hichilema says Zambians should now elect him so that he can direct all his good policies from State House.

And Mr. Hichilema says that although time will be tight before the 2016 election there are a lot of good policies that could be implemented in two years, as evidenced by the amount of damage and harm the PF had done in the same amount of time.

Speaking when he addressed mammoth rallies in Chilanga and Kafue yesterday, Mr. Hichilema said he was happy that the PF government has started reversing and implementing the same things he keeps talking about, although most of them are being done in a wrong way.

He cited the reinstatement of nurses who had gone on an illegal strike and the recognition of Henry Kanyata Sosala as Paramount Chief Chitimukulu as some of the things he promised to do which the PF government has started reversing.

Mr Hichilema has also cited the reverse of the retirement age from 65 to 55 years as another issue which the PF government has also said they will revisit among many other things.

He says the PF are doing some of the things he has been preaching about, although they are going about it in the wrong way.

Mr. Hichilema wondered why he could therefore not be given a vote since he is already giving leadership in the country and was already widely accepted everywhere he has been.

He told the cheering crowds that the PF were campaigning like they were in the opposition and not in government to do the things they were also promising the people of Zambia.

The UPND leader says the PF government is now reversing everything that they approved in Cabinet with the late president Michael Sata , yet at the same time they claim to want to carry on with his legacy and vision.

He said even though the PF were now reversing some decisions, the damage had already been done to many families that are suffering as a result of the last three years.

Several other alliance MMD and ADD Members of Parliament also addressed the crowd, including Lubasenshi Independent MP Patrict Mcheleka.
