Former Finance Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane has challenged the PF Government to give a clear economic recovery plan considering that their past plans have not worked.

The Liuwa MMD Member of Parliament says Zambia’s economy is not showing any signs of recovering under the PF Government.

Mr. Musokotwane says the PF Government should at this point inform the nation the initiatives they are introducing since all their earlier ones have not worked in anyway.

Mr. Musokotwane states that the copper prices on the international market are low and the government is not looking into other ventures and wonders if they are only waiting for the prices of the commodity to stabilize.

He says the hope of the economic recovery will be misplaced without the assurance from government on its programs of bringing the economy back on its track.

The former Finance Minister adds that the inconsistency in policy pronouncements by the PF Government is also worrying more especially in the agriculture sector which he says is mismanaged.
