 kwaisha over time has been losing value. A lot of value and of late losing substantial value against dollar and other convertible currencies very very rapidly. We all know that. The implication of this kwaisha losing value, our currency losing value is brought. Many aspects get affected by the kwaisha losing value. One of the critical aspects is the increase in the cost of living. As the kwaisha depreciates, it increases the cost of doing business, it increases the cost of living. It increases the cost of melamine, the cost of salt, the cost of sugar to the households. And obviously it increases invariably the cost of running business. If you are in import, you now have to find more kwaisha to import the same quantity of goods that you may have imported last year. Those goods may be for manufacturing, they may be for resell, the cost just goes up because the kwaisha is losing too much value. And the kwaisha losing value is a reflection of the failure of leadership to a large extent. As we see it here, the inability to manage variables that are very important, extremely important certain policy aspects, in particular monetary policy. But monetary policy alone cannot contain the loss of value in our currency. This must be coupled with the fiscal policies. It's a package, it's a combination of measures that we will put in place because we need to restore the kwaisha's value, to stabilise it so that it's easier to plan in business, it's easier to plan in a household for especially low income earners in our households, in our families who are many, who are the majority. They need to be able to know that in the following month given the income which is largely starting, constant, which is not increasing because it's difficult to increase salaries these days because businesses are going down. They know that they will be able to feed their families. So stability is very important. So we will move very quickly by enhancing the monetary policy aspects but combine that with fiscal policies because it's that package that will bring results in our efforts to stabilise the kwaisha. And in addition to that, we will be looking at the trade side of our economy, a trade policy to make sure that we increase our exports as much as possible but you see increasing exports is an orchestrated plan, it's an orchestrated problem for us in the UPND. It has to deal with also first the increasing investments but we can't increase investments without an attractive investment policy. So we'll put in place attractive investment policies and then trade policies combined with consistency. You can't keep on changing policies every now and then you send the wrong message in the investment community so stabilise the policies so that they are predictable. One can plan. Planning is not just short, medium term, it's long term especially certain investments and we will also make a particular effort in supporting value addition in our country, increasing the value of the raw commodities that we produce. For example, in today's Xamia, manganese is mined and is sold by and large in a raw form, rocks. And it's only attracting somewhere in the region of $50 per ton but we plan as UPND to value add this manganese by investing in the manganese processing plants in the manganese production areas. That will allow us to increase the value per ton to well over $1,500 per ton. Just imagine the difference, the stark difference. All of that additional value would allow us to export more maybe manganese but more importantly anymore from the manganese that we export and by increasing our foreign exchange earnings the supply side of the kwacha improves, it means sorry of the dollars improves, it means we can stabilise the kwacha. That's extremely important because if you have a shortage of foreign exchange it means that your kwacha keeps on losing value and that will work very very seriously on that. So growing economy, increasing exports and making sure that we reduce our expenditure on consumption and increase expenditure deliberately for that matter on the investment and therefore growth who arise from there inevitably also is not just manganese in the kwacha but it helps create jobs, creates if you like business opportunities for our people including the youth, the women and other citizens. This is very very important but lastly amongst the other factors that will help us and will focus on stabilise the kwacha is to work on this commodity called confidence to improve the confidence in the economy in the market because if you don't have confidence as is the case now the kwacha takes additional hammering, serious hammering. So we believe because of the leadership regional leadership that we have because of our ability to manage the country's resources in the prudent way because of our ability to prioritise where we spend the limited resources as we all know resources are always limited in the investment area and less in consumption area we will not really be buying in the UPND government it will be tabu to buy a 65 million dollar jet for one or two people when we can use that 65 million dollars for example to invest in a solar power station that will give us a lot of megawatts that will help boost the electricity supply reduce load shedding which is extremely important to provide consistent electricity supply energy supply to our factories to our homes to education to health very very critical because you can lose a life on the operating table in a hospital because you have lost energy which is electricity you have lost oxygen which is driven by electricity all those components that are interlinked and will make sure that we drive them in a matrix in a way that will grow the economy and obviously that can only happen because we have the vision we have the leadership which has the vision the leadership which has the ability to manage resources permanently a leadership which has the ability to monitor things that go wrong and correct them quickly that is what will drive more confidence in the market and obviously help shower up we call it shower up the kwacha and stabilize the kwacha and bring about consistency in the currency market as well as obviously in the real economy which is the productive side of the economy
