 Welcome to this brief press conference and I want to make a disclaimer here that the views that I'm going to make here are purely my personal views. And so I welcome all of you and viewers out there. And the matter I want to talk about this afternoon is around the energy sector. And we are entitling our press as the profilillism failures and sheer incompetent burdens should be fired within 48 hours. The confession by the board chairperson of Jesko, Mr. Vixuan Ngobe, that he and his team, you advised the Republican president is a case of great concern to all rightful thinking Zambians. The board chairman had the audacity to say human factor had led to the energy crisis we face as a country, apart from natural causes during his HOT FM interview yesterday. Suffice to say, this action amounts to a political stunt aimed to first serve his boss, who a few weeks ago had claimed that he and his incompetent government have managed to end Lord Shedding within a month of their driving government affairs. We have witnessed and I yet to witness a total failure on the part of the top brass recently appointed by the president at Jesko. To save this country from total collapse, the best thing to do is to page the board and top management at the energy company. Therefore, the president is challenged to fire the band within 48 hours. Any delay to fire these incompetent officers will blind this country into and toward economic malaise never seen before. Ladies and gentlemen, this Lord Shedding has already started impacting on the economy very negatively. Minas have indicated a decline of about 20% in production and with this it means that minimal prices and many other products will have to increase because of so many overhead costs. Other than that, some employees may have to be thrown on the streets in order to balance the revenue and expenditure in terms of operating these various companies. Small-scale entrepreneurs such as saloons, barbershops, welders, business centers and all those that rely on electricity are already having it very, very, very hard to continue with their businesses. What more damages should we witness before corrective actions are done? And Planned Lord Shedding has caused the death of many people who, some of them, were on life support and depended entirely on electricity. For us, we believe that one life lost is one to many. We need to move from a point of massaging failure with political rhetoric. Just a few weeks ago, the president is on record having admitted failure in the distribution of farming inputs and health sector which has broken down irretrievably with regard to timely supply of medicine in hospitals. And we have seen that in the midst of all of these, statements have been made. Some of them are statements justifying the fact that electricity exports are part of our economic activity. Yes, we do agree but we can only export when we have surplus. You don't give away what you don't have. You give away what you don't need to use. In this case, we thought that the government should have considered local citizens to get this electricity in order for the local market and the economy to thrive. Before then, there was no cause and justification to continue empowering foreign economies and foreign countries while our economy is shrinking or because we want to get more resources. Ladies and gentlemen, seriousness requires the president to promptly relieve all ministers involved. We reiterate that we need a law that will require an incompetent president and a failing president because, as it stands, the failure by this incumbent president requires that he, President Agenda Echilema, resigns on moral grounds. I thank you all.
