“IMF DEAL IS AN ENDORSEMENT OF UPND CREDIBILITY”

President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA says the approval of the International Monetary Fund -IMF- finance program for Zambia is an endorsement of the UPND administration credibility to restore the economy.

President HICHILEMA says his administration has managed to secure a deal within two months yet the PF administration failed to do so in seven years because of lack of credibility.

He says the UPND was elected on the assurance to restore the economy by dismantling the country’s debt.

Speaking on Arrival from Malawi where he had gone for bilateral engagements in the morning, President HICHILEMA said the IMF programme is necessary for Zambia’s quest to restore the economy.

And President HICHILEMA said he has agreed with his Malawian counterpart LAZAROUS CHAKWELA to keep borders open for trade.

He said the two Presidents also talked about the works at the Mwami and Muchinji border to establish a one stop border post aimed at enhancing trade.

President HICHILEMA said he also discussed issues of insecurity in some parts of neighbouring Mozambique and DRC with Dr. CHAKWERA in his capacity as SADC Chairperson.

He expressed concern that failure to address the insecurities in the said countries will affect peace and trade in Zambia and Malawi.
