Those of us who believed in his vast experience in this field, complied, quickly offloaded the dollar and averted loses.<\/p>\n<p>However, those who oppose everything from government incurred heavy looses as a result of the appreciation of the kwacha. This is called vision, seeing what others couldn\u2019t see.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, whilst others are able to see clearly how this country will be 10 years from now with all things being equal,a few still believe in those who\u2019s business is to oppose everything coming from the current government.<\/p>\n<p>Kindly close your eyes for a little while and imagine through apolitical senses how this country will be in 10 years time from now all things being equal.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the debt mountain sorted out with debt repayment funds channeled to needy sectors?.Imagine our mines operating at full capacity with production levels around 3 million tonnes.Imagine all that current demand for additional CRBs and desks fulfilled and yet CDF funds still going to constituencies?<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a society full of informed citizens devoid of \u201cjunkies\u201dbecause the over 2.3 million, beneficiaries of free education are now in universities and colleges?.Imagine where every government health center in this country is equipped with piped tap water and electricity?<\/p>\n<p>.Imagine a society with zero tolerance to corruption because society regards corruption as a social shame?.Imagine a country where all it\u2019s highway road network under PPP like the Lusaka\/Ndola road are regularly maintained?.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a country where each province has its own one or more maize milling plants capable of feeding itself and enough to feed other provinces? Kindly open your eyes now and see whether you\u2019re seeing what I\u2019m seeing how Zambia will be in 10 years time!<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t you foresee a time when this rush for additional CRBs and desks due to free education one day will be over? Don\u2019t you believe that at the current rate, very soon every government infrastructure will have water reticulation systems equipped with piped tap water and electricity?<\/p>\n<p>At the current environment, don\u2019t you believe that we can hit the target of producing 3 million tonnes of copper? Don\u2019t you believe that very soon Zambia will be amongst the top electric car battery exporters in the world? Don\u2019t you believe that the Copperbelt Province and the country at large will reclaim it\u2019s glory and position as a continental football giant through football sponsorship from the mines?
