The ruling Patriotic Front has described as illogical accusations that it lied to the Zambian people that the price of fuel would not be increased after this year’s elections.

PF Deputy Spokesperson Frank Bwalya has wondered how the party can be accused of having told a lie when it did not issue any statement prior to the elections to the effect that the price of fuel would never be increased.

Mr. Bwalya says the PF is aware that the price of fuel in the country is determined by the price of Crude Oil on the international market.

He says no one should therefore claim that the ruling PF is happy that the price of fuel in the country has been increased.

Mr. Bwalya tells QTV News that this is especially that PF members are also buying fuel at the same increased prices.
