We are talking about a budget that is running a deficit. How can we have a surplus when you have a budget that is running on a deficit?\u201d Mundubile asked. \u201cOn the non-payment of contractors, they have given so many excuses regarding audits. You will learn from this conference (Building and Construction held at Pamodzi Hotel last week) that this is a well regulated sector. All those external audits are not even necessary okay. Contractors are owed money period. What is supposed to happen is for them to be paid. But you know that the persecution drive by our friends in the UPND even extends to private business like contractors. They believe that most of those contractors or some of those contractors may be connected to the PF and once they pay money, it means PF is going to have money.\u201d Mundubile said the UPND was literally paralysing the country\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo they have literally paralysed this economy. They have taken action that has resulted in people committing suicide. People have lost property, widows have lost houses through foreclosures. They were pledging part of these assets to get performance bonds, to get advance bonds. And when government decided not to pay for political reasons, people have died and lost property as it were. So when government comes up and say \u2018it is a caring government\u2019, this is the reason why we question,\u201d said Mundubile. \u201cOur appeal is that if you know of certain politicians like Brian Mundubile who is a contractor, don\u2019t pay him. Don\u2019t pay Brian but pay the other people that are not connected to politics. In trying to persecute Mundubile other people should not be sacrificed because I am a politician. I am a contractor, I am not even hiding. If there is a problem, they should say \u2018for political reasons, we will not pay this one\u2019. But what about the poor women and youth who are trying to make a living out of this sector?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
