Hichilema Welcomes ‘Fit Again’ Sata The opposition United Party for National Development has welcomed the statement put through by The Post Newspaper that President Michael Sata is fit and well. UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema says the news comes as a relief so that President Sata can attend to pressing national issues like a people driven constitution, high mealie meal prices and the depreciation of the kwacha. He said it is his desire to take over a stable government in 2016. Below is the full statement: HAKAINDE HICHILEMA HAPPY FOR SATA AND FAMILY PRESS STATEMENT 29th May 2014 We have received the news that the Republican President Mr. Michael Sata is well, fit and working hard and sorting out the economic challenges facing this country with a huge sigh of relief. As UPND, we always pray to the almighty God for the good health of not only the national leadership in the country, but all our citizens as well. It is therefore a great relief to hear that our dear president is in the office because this country and its citizens now demand more than ever that he sorts out the economic challenges our people are facing. As UPND and as a country, we cannot afford another challenge that can further distabilise the country, at any level of government, even worse at the level of the presidency. This country needs a fit and healthy Mr. Sata to deliver a people driven constitution, address the continued depreciation of the Kwacha, high cost of mealie meal and living conditions in general, and many other challenges. As UPND we do not think that it is right for anyone to speak ill of President Sata whenever he is believed to be unwell. As UPND, even as we differ in approaches of dealing with national issues we want President Sata to keep working in good health as we debate and compete on bringing out the best policies that will improve people’s lives. In the same spirit, we hope the Zambia Police through Mr. Sata, will now start allowing us to also freely engage our fellow citizens so that they can hear what we offer them ahead of 2016. The UPND looks forward to inheriting an even more stable government and a strong economy in 2016. Hakainde Hichilema UPND- President zambiareports/2014/05/29/hichilema-welcome-fit-sata/
