Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>If one lived in the world of conspiracy theories, a PhD syndrome would explain HH\u2019s failure to resolve our economic crisis. I mean \u201cPull him Down\u201d\u2013PhD! And who wouldn\u2019t believe it? How can a genius and self proclaimed economist watch the free fall of the Kwacha unless Lungu and his PF disciples are behind it? Like Donald Trump, only him knew the secrets of making Zambia another paradise! He boasted that Westerners were busy asking him to explain his secret formula. So how can a genius fail? This is a conspiracy; his foes want to \u201cPull him Down\u201d to win the 2026 elections!<\/p>\n

How I wish this was the situation, but the reality is, HH was nothing but a conman without an iota of decency. His lies are laughed at by rats, cats and dogs\u2013for who can throw away food in HH\u2019s Zambia?<\/p>\n

HH marketed himself as an economist\u2013something I laughed at. Being rich and being an economist are two different things. But HH thought otherwise. His wealth qualified him to control the economy. Yet his riches were simply harvested from government assets. He cheated a self-proclaimed economist, President, F.T.J Chiluba into believing that getting rid of Zambia\u2019s assets was a solution to poverty. HH\u2019s lies earned him farms and Hotels\u2013harvesting where he didn\u2019t sow!.<\/p>\n

HH thought he was a magician who would cheat the world with a magic wand! Fuel will be at less than K5, ubunga at K50, fertilizer at K100. As for the dollar, it will be less than 10 to the Kwacha. Corruption will be history; the incorruptible HH will swallow it\u2013celebrating Biden\u2019s insult to Zambia at the UN. But nothing has happened; the Kwacha is almost 30 to a dollar, ubunga I can\u2019t even say it, fuel we all know, as for corruption, we are still corrupt.<\/p>\n

I was among the first to point out President HH\u2019s incompetence. When my colleagues were busy asking us to give HH time, I told the nation otherwise. HH didn\u2019t possess any decency\u2013he operated with the \u201conly I can fix it\u201d mentality. Today, this mentality has cost him badly. Who would shout \u201cBally will fix it\u201d and survive the vicious teeth of starved dogs on our streets? Even HH and the first lady can\u2019t shout that slogan in the privacy of their bedroom. Rats and dogs know that Bally doesn\u2019t know how to fix it! They are busy waiting for 2026.<\/p>\n

HH has the democratic right to spill countless lies from his mouth. But no lie will convince a hungry person that they have just eaten! Unlike Mr. Hichilema, Mr. Hunger does not live in Community House but on the streets and in the ghetto. Workers too can hardly make ends meet\u2013their dogs are protesting.<\/p>\n

Is it not time HH put his tail between his legs and tell the truth for once? Let\u2019s get it right\u2013HH is clueless when it comes to stabilizing the Kwacha, creating jobs, addressing increasing poverty and of course, providing food security.<\/p>\n

What we have before us is exactly what it is\u2013we are at the cliff of economic disaster. Like some of us, the driver doesn\u2019t have glasses to negotiate the dangerous landscape. Only fools would expect a good landing\u2013so is our nation. Did I say PhD? I meant Pride has Dementia. My people say, \u201cubufi bulaya no kubwela.\u201d<\/p>\n
