IRIS KAINGU SAYS HICHILEMA’S ECONOMIC GAINS USELESS IF ZAMBIANS ARE STILL SUFFERING

MWANDI independent aspiring candidate Iris Kaingu has criticized President Hakainde Hichilema’s recent remarks about her, saying Hichilema’s economic achievements are meaningless if ordinary Zambians continue to struggle

Speaking during a livestream to her more than 350,000 followers, Kaingu questioned why the President focused on her while addressing people in Western Province instead of discussing the region’s development challenges.

She argued that despite the province’s support for him in previous elections, it has seen little development and Mwandi is in a crisis.

Kaingu also questioned why the President declined to adopt her politically while accepting other former Patriotic Front (PF) members into his camp.

“Mwandi is in a dire state, but you came here to talk about me. We expected you to address the unfulfilled promises you made in 2021,” she said.

She maintained that indicators such as single-digit inflation are useless if they do not improve the lives of ordinary Zambians, saying many citizens are still facing economic hardship.

I will not give up untill we fight for the people of Mwandi said Iris.

Kaingu has further urged all Mwandi residents to vote for her on 13 August to save Mwandi.
