Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>On December 31, 2021, the Minister of Labour, Brenda Tambatamba, signed into law SI 93 of 2021 which repealed SI 106 of 2020. The repeal meant that truck drivers undertaking international trips will now receive K100 per night as subsistence allowance from K390 per night which was enshrined in the repealed SI if the truck has a sleeping cabin.<\/p>\n

The new SI has also reduced allowances paid to drivers who undertake international trips with trucks without sleeping cabins from 50 dollars per night to 25 dollars per night.<\/p>\n

This is really a government of businessmen, by businessmen for businessmen to increase their profits, their \u2013 in a word, to exploit the workers and the poor more thoroughly. Only a workers party and government can truly protect the workers, the poor and all who toil.<\/p>\n

Under this government of businessmen, by businessmen for businessmen benefits to the poor are a by the way \u2013 to calm down so that they don\u2019t rebel and stop voting for them \u2013 ba misubafye tu batter pakuti mwibemina.<\/p>\n

In truth, this is what the trickle down economics being pursued by this government entails. And Pope Francis was very right when he said that the \u201cmagic theories\u201d of market capitalism have failed and that the world needs a new type of politics that promotes solidarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe marketplace, by itself, cannot resolve every problem, however much we are asked to believe this dogma of neoliberal faith. Whatever the challenge, this impoverished and repetitive school of thought always offers the same recipes.<\/p>\n

This dogma \u201csimply reproduces itself by resorting to the magic theories of \u2018spillover\u2019 or \u2018trickle\u2019 as the only solution to societal problems,\u201d the pope added.<\/p>\n

He went on to say there is \u201clittle appreciation of the fact that the alleged \u2018spillover\u2019 does not resolve the inequality that gives rise to new forms of violence threatening the fabric of society.\u201d The highest leader of the Catholic Church added that \u201ctrust\u201d in the market system has \u201cceased to exist\u201d as a result of these policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fragility of world systems in the face of the pandemic has demonstrated that not everything can be resolved by market freedom,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trickle-down economic policies traditionally refer to tax breaks and financial assistance for the wealthy and for large corporations. The idea is that any savings will spill over to everyone else in society through investments, spending and more.<\/p>\n

The pope called for more proactive economic policies that promote productive diversity and creativity and make it possible for \u201cjobs to be created and not cut.\u201d Ultimately, he said that \u201chuman dignity\u201d must be put back at the centre of these policies, rather than financial speculation aimed at creating quick profits.<\/p>\n

Workers of Zambia unite under the banner of your own political party \u2013 the Socialist Party \u2013 and liberate yourselves from yoke capital. What you can\u2019t do for yourselves, nobody will do it for you.<\/p>\n
