 I want to start by thanking the president of the Republic of Zambia, Mr. Akainde Ichilema, for having a press briefing during the work. The president tackled a lot of issues bordering on the economic situation and the political situation in our country. For me, the president missed an opportunity to tackle the issue to do with Kopa Beot province. I am a member of Kopa Beot province, not by default. I am the son of the soil. I understand the issues on the Kopa Beot province better than any other person. I am from Kopa Beot province. I am member by tribe. I can see the suffering of our people on the Kopa Beot province. Kopa Beot province is the province which is unique. It is unique in the sense that we have Kopa Beot rural and Kopa Beot urban. The challenges in Kopa Beot rural and Kopa Beot urban, there are two different challenges. We expected the president to tackle Kopa Beot province in a different manner altogether. But the president failed to do so. I want to assure the president that if you lose Kopa Beot province, the way it is today, my advice to you is just start packing your bags because 2026 is not yours. The people of Kopa Beot province, they are upset with you. They are upset with your government because you have failed to address serious issues pertaining to the Kopa Beot province. When you came to the Kopa Beot province, Mr. President, I was in the province and all the trips which you have made to the Kopa Beot province, I am always in the province. Immediately you leave the province. I do interact with the people in the province. And the sentiments which have been coming from the people of the Kopa Beot province, it is very disheartening. Mr. President, the name which you are carrying now by Shpuromis came from Muferira because the people of Muferira expected a good news for them concerning Mupani. But you failed to give the people of Muferira, the people of Kitwe, hope. The people of Chingola, Chililabombwe, they have been waiting for you, Mr. President, to deal with the issue of KCM. These are two major issues which we have on the Kopa Beot province. Now that we have seen that you have no interest or capacity to deal with the issues on the Kopa Beot province, I want to assure my people, my relatives on the Kopa Beot province that let us forget about Mr. Akainde Ichilema, President of this Republic to sort out our challenges on the Kopa Beot province. We are going to sort out those challenges among ourselves and we know the best way of sorting out these problems on the Kopa Beot province. We know the challenges in Kopa Beot Lulo and we know the challenges in Kopa Beot Aban. Mr. President, I recall very well when my brothers and sisters visited your residence. You promised them heaven on earth because you gave them hope that you are going to turn around the economic fortune of the Kopa Beot province. But alas, we are still here. The status quo is still the same. I want to urge my people on the Kopa Beot province that we are going to sort out this issue. And the sorting out of issues on the Kopa Beot province starts today. We want to work as a team and make sure that come 2026 we remove this government of Mr. Akainde Ichilema so that he can go and concentrate on other issues which may add value to the development of this country but not governance. The governance issue he has felt. He has felt because he has felt to sort out the issues on the Kopa Beot province. And the same issue on the Kopa Beot province. I want to advise my elder brother Elisha Matambo that please, can you stop intimidating my young sister, the mayor of Kitwe. The mayor of Kitwe was elected by the electorates of Kitwe district. She is not a nominated person. She is an elected person. She is carrying the mandate from the people of Kitwe and later execute her duties without any interference, without any intimidation. If you want to do politics, come to us. We are here to do politics with you Mr. Matambo. Leave my sister alone. Leave my sister alone. She has a lot of things to do in Kitwe. You have felt to develop Kopa Beot province. She has been trying by all means to make sure that she cools the tempas of the people of Kitwe. So don't disturb her. Let her work. She has the mandate. She is not like you, my elder brother. You have no mandate. You have no mandate. The mandate which you are carrying is an extension from the president. The mandate which she has is the mandate straight from the people. You are a nominated member and you don't even know or feel how difficult it is to work with the people in the constituency, in the district or in the ward. You don't know. So let us respect the people who have been given the mandate from the people. We also want to talk about the energy sector in our country. We have been talking about this issue. We advise the government and the government have failed to do what we advise them. Mr. President, we advise you on roadshedding. We also advise you on the issue to do with Tazama and the finished product which we have started pumping from Daraslam to Ndola. We told you Mr. President that the risk is huge. But as usual, because you know it all, you are the president who doesn't want to be advised. The issue which we experienced recently in Embare, it is just one of many issues which we are yet to see. That product, the finished product, it's very expensive to monitor that pipeline. The big chunk of that pipeline, it is through sometimes the park and thick forest. And there is no one who can go and inspect that pipeline. And was also received a very disturbing information Mr. President. And I want to urge you to instruct IArabi and Minister of Energy to confirm what we want to tell you now. Mr. President, the former government of Mr. Edigachagwa Lungu decided that Zambia will now move to low sulfur fuel. But the information which we have, that fuel which we are bringing in, the diesel, it is not low sulfur. It is destroying the vehicles of the citizens. And we want you Mr. President to engage IArabi and verify this information. If it is true Mr. President that the diesel which is coming now in our country, it is not low sulfur. It is very unfortunate. It is very unfortunate because the people who have been mandated to transport or to pump fuel from Daraslam into Ndola agrofuel. They are members of the UPND or they are sympathizers of the UPND. And for us we want the people are working with you Mr. President because you have talked about zero tolerance to corruption. We want you to move in and make sure that this issue which has come to our attention, let it be investigated Mr. President. Mr. President for us we want a better Zambia. We want a better Zambia because it is not about us. It is about the 17 million Zambians. It is not about Boman. It is not about President Taka in the Itilema. But it is about the people of Zambia. Politicians go. Politicians go. We have been having politicians. Even my elder brother Mr. Kadobi he was a powerful politician in this country. But today he has taken a back seat. There are other people who have come now on the scene. That is the way politicians are. So Mr. President today God has given you this opportunity to govern this nation. But you just have to know that one day you will come out of that position as President of the Republic. The thing is the question which Vanalumango asked Mr. President Edgar Lungu at Wakanda's Fino That question which Vanalumango asked Mr. President If you are going to be in Zambia, I will be there. If you are going to ask Mr. President, I will ask Mr. President Edgar Lungu. Because Edgar Lungu, if you are going to be in Munchalo, Vanalumango I will ask Mr. President any question which Vanalumango asked Mr. President Wuhu pushabeni why pusha Wuhu shei fli by up'ending at Wakanda government Finshi baka three wukishisha po afena Zambia So if you are not aware of the corruption of our president then we have seen the institutions like SEC and DEC kwa ina baka nao seketo na holding sinwum na stikладu體i iik tennis kaonda kwa ya ya kulegisha, ka kwa hwa isicu mkumilapisha ya meishi washitele shani kefua ya ufuniaba kwa nove mchi yenda. So, my proposal, Mr. President, is that going forward, you just abolish SEC. You take the information from the SEC to intelligence part. You put their arrest to police because we have been having no results with SEC. So, if you can just separate SEC, one section of information goes to OP, the other section to do with arrest, the police, they are mandated to do that. So, Mr. President, that is my advice. The issue to do with agriculture in our country, you know, President Lungu, President Kaunda, President Chiluba, President Manawasa, President Rupia Banda, President Sata, they tried to make sure that they push agriculture and operate agriculture as business. And Mr. Akainde Ichirema, agriculture is very important. It is very important to the well-being of the country. You can't work without eating. So, we want to advise you, Mr. President, that not the people of Kalingalinga, not the people of Kavushi, not the people of Wengu, not the people of Mutendele, not the people of Chawama, not the people of Emasaiti. Mr. President, this is very serious, and you just have to sit down with your FRIA board chair and the entire team, your minister of agriculture, and try to sort out this issue. The issue to do with soya, soya means Mr. President, that issue is a very serious issue. But, Mr. President, I want to come up here and see paradise. I want to go to paradise. Hello, Valandy, I want to come and see paradise. I want to come to see paradise. There is soya beans, there is automatic. There are many that do not work because of you. We want to make sure that you get soya beans. soya bensi ii ni fwebo fwe governmenti fweba register promote ama farmers li meni soya bensi li meni ama tava li meni imbalala li meni infintwifi adekana

come to afrika so that we can discuss our issues in afrika we can't go and discuss our issues in europe no it doesn't work like that we have to discuss our issues yeh we have to discuss our issues yeh they don't consider us to be leaders jo biden ba dimu lusumini shoku pita mulandan na konvoi ya kwe nemi yotoka shakwe eswa ishi dena shoku fuma kwa amerik ba presidenti vesu ba abalongan amubas ga bale isa kuna otua wa pokere nama konvo ya yasuma batwa fumi nemuku nina chibas we have to respect our presidents and they are our presidents infotua bachata respecti kuna fufu afiri bachata respecti okobale ya zimbabwe our brothers and sisters of the republic of zimbabwe they'll be going for elections this year we want to advise our brothers and sisters in zimbabwe that the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know ba presidenti munagagwa bade womba ukufuwae aichalo cha zimbabwe chibwe kere okochadi ba presidenti munagagwa is waking 24-7 I remember us as ambients we used to go to big force we used to go to Alare for us to buy a kend kok kend Fanta apples and many other fruits from zimbabwe but where we are now the problem is not president munagagwa's government problem is the west those sanctions those sanctions which were imposed on the president comrade Robert Gabriel Mugabe the west they just have to remove those sanctions because they aimed at president comrade Gabriel Mugabe and comrade Gabriel Mugabe is no longer there is no longer there so ba rea bantu gavari tu temwa ama west gavari tu temwa from africans gavari tu temwa because zimbabwe na zambia we are one ututuma boda mumonu pata padiu fotuawa we are one we can go and eat shima in president munagagwa's house president munagagwa can come to mumbwa and cultivate because we are one so problem with him on zimbabwe na ifu eni nshinatu kwaata problem zimbabwe gayawe kerofu hiadi zambia will benefit South Africa will benefit Malawi will benefit Boswana na mibia all of us in South Africa we are going to benefit we are going to benefit so the people of zimbabwe we know abale fwaia tukuchinja government number i know my uncle my uncle munagagwa aribatambakale they don't call him corokdial for nothing aribamona he has analyzed them and we want the people of zimbabwe to support the government of the day because we have seen how zimbabwe has been transforming immediately they remove the sanctions in zimbabwe I can assure you that zimbabwe will never be the same again those buses which you see tripping between chiluwe and lusaka tika chepa gakuiswa bakalaisa toa amu kumunawa bluru toa atumonega kuzambia fokudi not toa amu kushita sopa kuzambia not toa amu kushita drinki kuzambia that we want zimbabwe to go back to their original status so for me these are the few points which we prepared to share with the press we want this country to prosper we want the president to make sure that he maintains his ways and put them in practice especially when it comes to the rule of law we want the president to face the people of zambia proudly we have managed to remove kadarizim in markets we have managed to remove kadarizim in bus stops and today we are here without kadarizim in by elections but alas those things they are still there when you go to bus stops kadas are there when you go to markets kadas kadas are still there for us we want to see the president putting his food down Mr President the people of zambia voted for you just deliver according to the promises which you gave them I thank you and may God bless you any questions we are here
