Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The opposition Patriotic Front (PF) has implored President Hakainde Hichilema to prioritise the trip to China as he does his international trips. Leader of the opposition in Parliament Brian Mundubile noted that the majority Zambians had their fingers crossed for the IMF to approve the bailout.<\/p>\n

Hon Mundubile said he was aware that creditors, including China which is the biggest were negotiating in the background. The Lawmaker said this when he and other PF MPs addressed the media today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know now that the creditors are negotiating in the background with China being one of them, one of the biggest creditor. So our reasoning is that if China is very instrumental and is holding the key to this particular bailout, why should we visit all these other countries and not visit China? So our view is that the President must prioritize the trip to China,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHim going to China is very urgent. Of course the response was that there are many other ways of communicating with the President other than physically travelling there. Then the question then is why is the President traveling to all these other countries physically? Why isn\u2019t he meeting these other people virtually also? And of course the answers are not given but we still insist that he must accord China the same respect he is according these other countries by going there physically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hon Mundubile stressed the need for the President to fly to China and make his case with the Chinese President so that Zambia improves its chances of securing the IMF loan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that a lot has not been said regarding this particular negotiation. But your guess is as good as mine. I don\u2019t think its as smooth as we expected it to be\u2026..otherwise by now they would have concluded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe finance minister also said that what we failed to do in seven years they did in four months. Its unfortunate, that statement was inaccurate because all the negotiations were done between Hon Bwalya Ng\u2019andu and Felix Mutati then and IMF.\u201d<\/p>\n
