State House media director Clayson Hamasaka has responded to FDD leader Edith Nawakwi’s call to close ranks with President Hakainde Hichilema and work together for Zambia’s sake, saying this is what the President has been preaching all the time.
Speaking with Daily Revelation yesterday, Nawakwi pleaded with President Hichilema to call on former president Edgar Lungu and all the leaders in the country, including herself in resolving the economic and socio hardships the country is going through.
Responding to the same, Hamasaka stated: “But this is what the President has been preaching all the time. He has been appealing to political leaders, Church leaders and other stakeholders to work together not only in addressing economic issues but governance issues such as lacunae in the constitutional issues.”
Put to him that Nawakwi is suggesting that the Head of State call on president Lungu and even herself she would be open to receive invitation, and if the President would go the direction of extending a formal invitation or anything like a national dialogue to address the challenges the country was going through, Hamasaka stated: “As a matter of fact, the President has been widely engaging and consulting various stakeholders and individuals on many issues. Church leaders, chiefs, captains of industries in various sectors are all being engaged. Perhaps the difference in the approach because we don’t announce each and every person or organization that he meets and consults.”
