 We never want to go our feet, who will definitely take us there. The past few months and the days we have seen President Nakaindechilema come to report to this country concerning the debt burden that we had been encumbered with as a country and we need to make progress but today I thought we should point out some of the saddening factors which we feel are unfortunately lies and misrepresentation of the true fact of what is happening although President Nakaindechilema is asking himself to be patted on the back and praising that he has delivered restructuring to the debt of Zambia we feel that is serious misdirection and is a total lie. Let me walk you through the two big lies that the UPND with Hakaindechilema is lying to the people of Zambia concerning our debt situation and our restructuring situation. First and foremost, unfortunately we have seen them in the past times mislead the people of Zambia to telling them that they have restructured the debt and have been saying that the debt that Zambia has is 6.3 billion dollars. That is not true. That is a lie. That is misinformation because the true debt situation of Zambia is that we have an excess of 26.29 billion dollars. So the question is why are they avoiding to talk about the 20 billion dollars but they choose to mislead the people that all that we have as a burden as a country now is 6.3 billion but when they are in the opposition they used to say the true figure that we had 26.29 billion dollars but now they are in government and after that trip to Europe they have come now they are saying that the only debt that we have is 6.3 billion and they claim that they have restructured it. Unfortunately the truth of the matter is that they have failed to find a plan on how they are going to resolve the 20.29 billion dollars but they have fallen in a trap that was perpetuated by IMF to win hook them to believe that there is a strategy in which they can restructure our debt and the amount of money that is involved in that proposition is 6.3 billion dollars but instead of them being truthful and honest to say no we still have a debt of 26.29 billion dollars they have changed the narrative and they are saying praise us we are so great we have restructured Zambia's debt but to drive that agenda of lies they have to even now all of a sudden be talking about only 6.3 billion dollars but the truth of the matter is that our true debt stock right now is 26.29 billion dollars and we still have 20.26 billion dollars that the UPND and MSH all of a sudden is choosing not to talk about because they don't have a plan and indeed they are hoping that with time comes they will lead Zambia's into a lie to feel that they are doing something about it when in fact they are not. The second lie that we have seen the UPND is propagating with Presenta Kaindehichilema is a lie that they have gone to have a deal where we won't be paying 1% interest on our debt which is not true the truth of the matter is that in the first 14 years that they are pushing to negotiate by the way they have not even negotiated they are pushing to negotiate is that for 14 years we'll be paying 2.5% interest and in the final six years we'll be paying 4% interest that is very expensive interest and that will cost our country a lot of money in the nexus of even 2 billion US dollars. Now let's try to see even in the proposition that was keved out there that they are claiming that they have restructured debt when in the actual fact they have just extended the period of payment and have pushed the suffering to the future generation one of the most tricky prepositions that we have seen that they have pushed in is that they don't want to be paying anything until after 2026 if you look at the mathematics we know 2026 is election year so they want not to pay anything as they have not been paying since 2020 up to today which is unfortunate and if you see in what they are proposing to restructure is that in the after 2026 the next benchmark that they have is 2031 we see that they plan that those generations that will come after 2031 will need to pay an excess of 5.5 billion US dollars it is very much sad for us to envision that after 2031 the generation that will take over Zambia will need to be paying 500 million US dollars every year manner that us we are avoiding to pay but we want them in future after 2031 probably we know Prisndaka Indechilema will not be in end place of even having a net of strength he will be very old if God gives him life and Zambians then will need to be paying 500 million US dollars every year for 12 years now if you look at this it is very progressive because we are simply trying to create a vacuum for future generation that they should come and suffer the consequences of our negligence and borrowing and that is not how you structure debt that is not how you help develop a country that is how you kill a country by trying to postpone the problems that you would have solved today to make them the problems of future generation we are where we are today is because we have been procrastinating pushing problems into the future and that is very bad it is midyoka it is retrogrative and it is really visionlessness
