Publish debt restructuring details, Lubinda tells HH

PF vice-president Given Lubinda has challenged President Hakainde Hichilema to publish details of the debt restructuring.

And the PF has set October 28, 2023 as date for the holding of the general conference and July 28, 2023 for the constitutional conference.

In a statement by PF chairperson for information and publicity Raphael Nakachinda, Lubinda asked President Hichilema to publish details of the Debt Restructuring Agreement recently announced at the Paris Club Summit in France.

He said this was to allow for informed and productive national debate.

He said the debt reschedule must help lower the living standards of people or it will be deemed ineffective.

He lamented that Government had failed to demonstrate how it had utilised savings from the suspension of debt service where the country has not paid for its debt since December 2020.

He also condemned the repeated attacks and abuse of the law by the State and Law Enforcement Agencies against members of the Opposition.

Nakachinda further announced that the central committee approved the Road Map for holding the Constitutional Conference and Extra-ordinary General Conference, following the presentation of the report by planning committee chairman Davies Chama.

“The Central Committee Meeting also adopted the proposed date of 28th October, 2023 on which the Extra-Ordinary General Conference will be held. A proposed budget of K5.7million has also been approved. The Central Committee also established the Fundraising Committee and approved appointed members of the Committee to spearhead raising of funds so that the party could successfully hold the two scheduled Conferences,” stated Nakachinda

The PF also condemned machinations they said were being perpetrated to question the legitimacy of the election and leadership of Citizen First President Harry Kalaba.

“And the Central Committee was informed that the Disciplinary Committee had began to handle the disciplinary cases of Mafinga MP, Hon. Robert Chabinga and Chama South MP, Hon. Davison Mung’andu and the affected MPs were responding to the process,” stated Nakachinda.
