We believe that without courage there's nothing you can achieve. It doesn't matter what vision, what dreams you have, you need to have courage. So we are courageous, we are not intimidated by anybody whatsoever. Whether the source of possible intimidation is our political opponents in the opposition or the government of the day and it doesn't matter whether that government of the day is the patriotic front which left or the new government which is the UPND administration. We are not intimidated and we shall never be intimidated. So if there's anybody out there who has any ideas to say we are going to intimidate the patriots for economic progress in general or we are going to intimidate Shuntembo they should forget about it. Yes. All right well a bunch of incompetent people is what you call them but of course the minister of youth sport and arts of course according to the daily nation paper today has warned you Mr Shuntembo do not take the freedom of expression for granted. What is your reaction to that? Before we get into the reaction of the presidential radio engagement and interaction that happened with what's your reaction to? You know Shisha there is this misconception by the UPND administration that people of Zambia exercise their freedom of expression, freedom of association, freedom of assembly because the UPND government is actually giving them those freedoms and I want to say this I'll say it once that is absolute nonsense total nonsense. The freedom of expression freedom of association freedom of assembly that we enjoy as citizens in this country is something that is given to us by the constitution of the republic of Zambia you understand by the constitution of the republic of Zambia. The narrative which president Ichilema and his ministers have been driving that the reason we speak the way we are speaking right here is because he has given us these freedoms is total nonsense absolute nonsense and I want to make it clear I want to make it clear Shisha that we do not need to get any permission and we do not need to receive any permission from the current government for us to be able to express ourselves we don't and we shall never and if they think that we express ourselves because they allow us then they should disallow us tell them to withdraw their permission for us to exercise our freedoms tell them to withdraw it right here and right now tell them to send the police to come and arrest me because I'm speaking about their government I'm explaining to the people of Zambia how incompetent their government is tell them to withdraw that freedom if they feel they are the ones who actually give it to us yeah so I do know for a fact that yesterday is back by law but would you enjoy the same freedoms in the previous vision we've been speaking since time immemorial if the pf during the pf regime when the pf tried to stop us by sending the police we took the police to court and we won the cases so if the upnd administration wants to stop us they can send their police and will sue their police also and will win in court and I want to tell the president right here and right now I want to tell president Ichilema if he thinks he is giving us he is the one giving us the freedom of expression that we are enjoying right here and right now let him withdraw that freedom of expression right now let him send his policemen to come and arrest me and I want him to do it tonight let him withdraw we don't need his permission we don't want him to give us any permission to express ourselves since he thinks he is the one who gives us that permission we don't need that permission all right let's let's let's go to the assessment of the radio engagement that the president did have on Wednesday uh you know on the 13th of October 2021 he did have a radio engagement at statehouse on a particular radio station what's your assessment as patroads for economic progress and as shuntembo the president that's leading that political party well for us in particular situation we find it extremely regrettable that the president is spending a lot of time talking and very little time you know making his talk reality realizing the promises that he made so far he's been in office for some time and he hasn't realized a single promise that he made not a single one of them he's always talking when he was in the opposition like any opposition leader he was always in the media he was always making promises uh all sorts of promises no one ever compared him to make those promises it was him and him alone who was saying that when he sown in in the morning in the afternoon the dora who appreciate it is him and him alone who was saying if he's voted into office in the morning in the afternoon you sell the presidential budget and use that money to pay new allowances for students you understand it is him no one put a gun to his head no one did that it was him out of his own volition it was him and him alone who told the farmers the zamdan farmers that the moment he is actually elected into office he is going to buy their maize at 250 kwacha it is him not anyone else not shuntembo no i didn't compare hh to make those promises so today when we wake up and we tell the zamdan people to say this man the promises he made to you he's not fulfilling them he's running away from them each one of those promises then why should he come to us and tell us that you are abusing the freedom of expression which hh is giving us hh doesn't have any freedom of expression to give to any zamdan he doesn't have any freedom of expression we've moved from the freedom of expression we're looking at the assessment so so so on that particular on that particular speech uh you know at the end of the any president will learn their presidency in the manner and fashion that they see fit so it's not for me really to tell hh to say look uh you need to spend so much time in office with your cabinet ministers so that when you go out there you you are not speaking different languages whereby one is saying kata as i encourage you you are saying no others are saying roadblocks are cancelled you you are saying they need to be brought back spend more time with your cabinet agree on the police of government so that when you go out there if a minister makes a ministerial statement it should be based on the discussions they had in cabinet you understand it's not for me to tell him that he needs to be able to figure it out but me as an opposition leader it's my job to hold him accountable on the fulfillment of his promises you understand and uh our point is that he's spending more time making additional promises instead of him actually fulfilling the promises that he has already made to the Zambian people take for instance what he was talking about on radio phoenix a few days ago the president was talking about how wonderful his 2022 national budget is going to be and he's been talking about that for a long time he started with that narrative and then uh at some point his minister said no the 2022 budget will be a pf budget with a few adjustments from the upnd you understand that shows inconsistence then again the president comes and says no the 22 budget will be our budget uh and when we implement the new budget then we'll begin to fulfill the promises we made to the Zambian people so there is chaos there's confusion uh uh in the upnd administration you understand and uh you know if i make a statement to say this government is a bunch of incompetence i make that statement with a free conscious because the evidence is there for all to see provided you are not someone who is indoctrinated you've got objectivity and an independent mind you can see that this government is totally you know uh it's got no direction it's not going anywhere it's not going to take the people of this country anywhere
