Laura Miti says she can’t wait to hear President Hakainde Hichilema address the country following the debt restructuring achieved with bondholders.
“I could not help chuckling to myself, thinking about the next time the President will address us. Ndipo tizafa kuli debt restructuring success inakanga benangu. Mwandi, shine Kateks, but hmmm, kuzankala kantu,” stated Miti. “Debt restructuring finalised Well done Kateks mwandi, Well done Minister Musokotwane and your team. Iyi debt nii mwana wopezamo, but you have worked at it monga mwana obala mweka.”
Contributor Humphrey Mwiinga agreed with Miti.
“We can give him some room to brag. He has earned some bragging rights,” stated Mwiinga.
Another Mwiinga OC stated: “Our Kateks is a strategist. Success comes with patience. Not overnight development takwaba!”
Kayombo Kayombo stated: “Benangu used to address us from the Airport bakanunsha jet fuel.”
But Patrick Chanda stated that that was what was expected of any government to do.
“That’s how governments work. They could do none other,” stated Chanda.
Kelly Mulenga warned about celebrating debt restructuring.
“Actually debt restructuring tend to worse income inequality (Biglaiser, & McGauvran, 2021; Grabel, 2017). Favours the rich,” stated Mulenga
Hadji wondered why Hichilema must be celebrated for doing his job.
“Why are we applauding him for doing his job?” argued Hadji.
