YALI President Andrew Nthewewe
The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) says President Lungu’s speech during the official opening of the fifth session of the eleventh national assembly shows that he has a vision for the country.
YALI President Andrew Nthewewe says president Lungu’s speech on Friday was not only inspiring to young people but the nation as a whole citing that the president addressed the challenges that the country is facing.
Mr. Nthewewe notes that the president not only brought out his short and medium term goals but only term goals which is the country attaining its inspiration to be a developed country by 2064 and be able to support a population of that size.
Mr. Nthewewe however says given the fact that he has given the country the vision for 2064, the challenge is to what extent he is going to work hard in attaining the vision.
He adds that it is important that the people of Zambia embrace the vision for 2064 if it has to be attained.
Mr. Nthewewe says it is important that the president is willing to lead by example by forfeiting his benefits adding that the ministers should also embrace him so that those resources can be channeled to other sectors of the economy.
He further states that the president should continue to inspire the nation and act stressing that failure to act the vision will just remain on paper.
