 We had the visit of the vice president and we also had the democracy summit. UPND indeed and in WEDAS demonstrated that it is a democratic part of all the countries in the world. They found it fit that Zambia should host the democracy summit. It shows that our democracy is alive and well. And the international record that we have around the world is so much magnificent. The vice president of the United States of America who happens to be one of the most powerful human beings that we have on earth visited Zambia. And we as UPND in Lusaka District, we want to express our utmost gratitude for our visit here because it has yielded so much fruits. We as UPND in Lusaka District are very much happy for the leadership of President Daga Indeyichirema who has continued to go around the world to look for opportunities for ordinary Zambians. The president of this country has continued to engage different countries and he made it clear in his speech when he said that he is willing and he is going to engage with any country provided that these people and these countries they bring sustainable development to our country. The visit of the vice president to this country did not come as a mayor show but as a visit that has brought development to this country. And that is the reason why we as UPND here in Lusaka District are so much happy because of the following issues that were discussed. One of the things that the visit of the vice president has brought to this country is that Zambia is going to see over 500 million US dollars that will be pumped in bilateral assistance between Zambia and the US. Furthermore, the US government has pledged to continue to support the Zambian government and they are offering 1.5 million US dollars in fertilizer fund. You are aware comrades, you are aware countrymen and women that Zambia has been plagued with the shortage of fertilizer. We and our farmers suffered in terms of accessing physical, accessing fertilizer. But now through the help of the US government we are told that 1.5 million US dollars is going to be pumped to help farmers. This is going to help Zambia to have a pump harvest in terms of growing of crops. It's going to ensure that Zambia has got food security. It is for this reason that us as UPND in Lusaka District we are very much happy for the visit of the vice president. Countrymen and women comrades, you are aware that Zambia in the recent weeks and months are the challenge of energy. We are at issues of electricity, we are at issues of roadshading. As if this was not enough, we had many challenges that were happening but the United States government was observing the challenges that Zambia had. They saw it fit to send the vice president of the United States to come and help us with the issues of energy. But the US government now has promised this country is that they are going to help in terms of renewable energy. They have pumped billions of US dollars in renewable energy which is a step in the right direction. Because all the people, most of the people, majority of the population is going to have power in this country through the help of the electric sector. We as UPND in Lusaka District we are very much happy because government has the challenges to do with the health care services. We have people that are living with HIV and AIDS in this country. For many years the US government has been a partner to the government of this country, to the people of this country. Seeing is so much the market because when millions of Zambians who are living with HIV and AIDS were supposed to die because of not having anti-retrovirus drugs, ARAVs, the US government has come on board. And they have pledged that they are going to donate and give money to the tune of 571 million US dollars to this government. So that they can continue to help the people living with HIV and AIDS. Of course through organizations like PEPFAR. We are very much grateful to the US government as UPND we know that the effort of President Agande Chirema is going to be supplemented by this government. We as UPND are very much happy because majority of women in this country have been marginalized. They have been crying for empowerment. Majority of women who carry on their backs have been suffering. And now we have been told by the US government that they are going to help women in the area of mining. 3.5 million US dollars is going to be pumped in the area of mining. We as UPND in Lusaka district we want to assure the US government and any other country that wants to partner with this country with Zambia that they are welcome provided that they are helping to alleviate the lives of the Zambian people. I want to say that the democratic summit that we are in our country is a step in the right direction to show that Zambia is a democratic state. But at this point I want to say that we have challenges in this country with some opposition leaders that do not want to be reasonable. We have witnessed and observed how some other opposition leaders want to abuse the democracy. The president of this country as scrap of the defamation clause of the president is there to demonstrate that he wants the opposition to speak and to express themselves. But this freedom has been abused by some opposition leaders. They want to protest anyhow on issues that are not bringing food to the table of this country. They want to raise issues that are in Iraq when we have got issues here in Zambia. We are appealing to the Zambia police. We are appealing to investigative agencies and all the authorities to begin to work together with this government in terms of catering some of these people who are abusing their freedoms. The English people have got a saying that where your freedoms end that's where another person's freedom begins. And this government is not going to allow people bringing an act in this country at the expense in the name of freedom of expression. We cannot plan this country into chaos for the purposes of doing politics. This country is a peaceful country. And because it's a peaceful country we want people to express themselves within the confines of the law. Some of the demands that our friends in the patriotic front are expressing are unrealistic and are non-democratic. They wanted to cause anarchy by protesting on the day of the democrat summits. But this government showed them that they are democratic. They allowed them to protest. It shows that we are democratic. When the people were in power they did not allow the media to express themselves. They closed down radio stations. They closed down TV stations. They arrested journalists. They arrested you and me for being in the opposition. But we have allowed them to operate. That shows that we are democratic. But being democratic is not a sign of weakness. Give the opposition they want to see how we are. Let them push us to the corner. Because we are not going to allow people to bring anarchy in this country because of freedom of expression. Because where their rights end that's where our rights begin. Without wasting much of your time. We know Mr President you are working very hard to go out of this country to partner with different countries. But your efforts to do that have been received with mixed feelings by unprogressive opposition leaders who are saying you are travelling too much. We are saying that continue travelling as many countries as you want. Because your travels and your trips have brought billions of views to this country in order to unlock the economy of this country. He must do so and you travelled to as many countries as you want. The trip to many countries has brought a progressive change. You went to United Arab Emirates. They signed a deal to bring energy to bring solar plants in this country. The president went to Angola. He signed the rubito oil deal. That is going to ensure that we have got a cheap fuel in this country. The president has gone to so many countries and signed bilateral agreements. Our friends when they were in the ruling party they travelled with musicians and dancers too. For shopping, they shopped. They did not bring change in this country. Lastly, as I conclude, I want to say that if the people that must keep quiet as they wait and see us develop this country, it is the opposition, especially the PF. We are in this mess because of the chaos and the debt that the PF left. They borrowed money to build mansions and to buy empowers and zebras at the abacus. There are lots of people to care about checks and balances in this country because they made this country democratic. Today as UPND in Lusaka district we have allowed them to put on t-shirts. During their time they did not allow UPND to put on t-shirts. They even adopted shoplite workers for putting on legendary gharia. They adopted Catholic people for putting on legendary gharia. Today we have allowed them to operate. We have allowed them because we are democratic. They must not abuse the freedom that have been given in this country. Because they planned this country into anarchy. We further wish the leadership of the president and the chairman. We wish the leadership of the special assistant to the president Mr. Jitoka Yumba for the economic policies and the economic advisory that is given to the president. We further express our gratitude to the leadership. We express our gratitude to the leadership of the Secretary General of the mighty UPND for his resilient leadership. Furthermore I wish to say that moving forward UPND shall continue to welcome defectors. We are going to draw the path that allowed people to come and join us as a party. Thank you so much.
