Economic benefits coming-HH

By Michael Kaumba-President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA has appealed to Zambians to exercise patience as the new deal government sets on revamping and restructuring the economy.

President HICHILEMA says the economic benefits from measures his government has put in place will start to be visible in a few years.

The President says the new dawn government has embarked on economic reforms that are meant to put the country on a sound footing.

He has also underscored the importance of the devolution programme of taking resources away from LUSAKA to rural areas saying the move will spur economic activity and help create jobs in the countryside.

President HICHILEMA was speaking when he took part in a virtual panel discussion on protecting the democratic institutions: elections, the rule of law and resilient information space, which has been organised by US President JOE BIDEN.

And, President HICHILEMA has assured ZAMBIANS that there will be no reversal of the democratic gains the country has made under the new dawn administration.

President HICHILEMA said the new era of openness and freedom of expression that his government has ushered in is here to be shared and enjoyed by all Zambians.

He said since coming to power in August this year, government has set in motion measures that build a diverse and inclusive government but upholding human rights and promoting the rule of law.

The Head of State said his government has also enhanced collaboration with all stakeholders such as civil society and cooperating partners.

President HICHILEMA also highlighted measures taken in restoring media freedom, the separation of power among wings of government and the management of public resources.

The President has been taking part in the two-day US Summit for Democracy at the invitation of US President JOE BIDEN.
