Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>PF GOVT LEFT CLOSE TO US$3 BILLION IN COFFERS,NAKACHINDA. says HH\u2019s allegations that he found empty coffers are unfounded claims he cannot substantiate .<\/p>\n

Former Minister of Water Development Sanitation and Environmental Protection, Hon Raphael Nakachinda has dismissed claims by President Hakainde Hichilema that he found empty coffers.<\/p>\n

Hon Nakachinda said the claims by the President are unfounded claims which he can not substantiate. Speaking at a media briefing today, he said when the former ruling party was leaving office the International reserves were close to US$3 billion.<\/p>\n

The former minister said the continued claims by Mr Hichilema clearly show that he does not have any plan to govern the country. \u201cMr Hakainde Hichilema yesterday appeared on BBC and he squandered an opportunity to speak to the world and present his agenda for economic development of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe used all that time to bash at President Edgar Lungu and Patriotic Front, suggesting that they have stolen money and left empty coffers, lamenting that it is a new dawn and he has nowhere to start from.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically this means that he didn\u2019t have a plan for this country,\u201dHon Nakachinda said.<\/p>\n

Hon Nakachinda said President Hichilema is trying to create excuses for him not to fulfil his promises to give free education from pre-school to university level.<\/p>\n

Now, he said, his suggesting that he will fulfil free education from primary to secondary level basically what the former government had done. \u201cWhat was interesting to youths is that he will scrap off loan schemes and give free education upto university level.<\/p>\n

Farmers are waiting for cheap fertiliser and they will receive 15 bags from FISP. Farmers are holding on to their maize waiting for him to buy maize at high price, he was saying over K200 per bag,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
