Ba Chililabombwe/Zambians gather here let me holla at you for a sec!
Especially those small and large traders engaged in Mealie Meal trading or to put it bluntly ba SMAGOLA!!!😊
QUESTION!!?
IS THIS A "FREE MARKET ECONOMY OR THESE ARE MAFIA TACTICS BEING EMPLOYED HERE!!??"
Bushe why is it so hard to govern aini?
Why is it so hard to keep promises!!???
Bushe mungulu, cilafi nangu it's bukaitemwe(selfishness)????
If the UPND want to consolidate and retain their power in Chililabombwe! They need to review their stranglehold and restrictions imposed on the Mealie Meal traders and mealie trading in general in Chililabombwe.
There's an insatiable and extremely high demand for mealie meal in KONGO. And about 70% of Chililabombweans depend on Mealie Meal trading with the Kongolese for a living. But those in power are taking advantage of this by putting a certain arm of the government at the two Checkpoints leading to the Kongolese market in Kasumbalesa and Lubansa respectively.
Ordinary Zambians/Chililabombweans are barred/restricted from taking even 1 bag of mealie Meal across these two checkpoint to sell to the Kongolese people who have an affinity for Zambian mealie meal. But the real kicker is that those in power are abusing these same restrictions to their advantage by sending truckloads of mealie meal through the checkpoints at will thereby making truckloads of money through the same socalled illicit trade they are engaged to mitigate🤷🏿♂️.
The powers that be are abusing the power vested in them by the people while depriving the same people who gave them the power the opportunity to make money through trading in mealie meal with the(Free Market) Kongolese market/people🤔!
This is how it works the top authorities use a certain arm of the government to block the two routes to the market then turn around and use the same route since they hold the power to push through truckloads of their own mealie meal at will. At the same time the leaders of the arm engaged to man the checkpoints also take advantage and engage in the same illicit trade as well. The juniors manning the checkpoints join in the abuse by either illegally taxing those ordinary people who want to take small quantities of mealie meal across the checkpoints or outrightly illegally confiscating the mealie meal without any legal outlet for the victims to reclaim their hard earned capital invested in the now confiscated mealie meal, Vehicle or motorbike . Both the mealie meal and the mode of transportation are confiscated indefinitely without any legal due process or reprieve👀. Once your mealie meal and vehicle/motorbike is confiscated you can NEVER retrieve it as their is supposedly no legal way of recovering them. A lie feed to the ignorant/gullible traders In the process the mealie meal disappears and the vehicle/motorbike is kept in an impound yard for days even years on end while it depreciates and loses both it's value and parts. The irony is mind boggling!!! This abuse of power is ongoing till today!
The solution to this cardinal issue is simple ... Allow ordinary people/Chililabombweans to trade in mealie meal with the Kongolese market as well. Give the voters days in which they can freely sell/trade in mealie meal at will to the market. This is how a good percentage of residents of Chililabombwe feed their families why are you depriving them!??? Allow the people who voted for you to make money as well if you want them to come and vote for you again!!!!🤷🏿♂️ Selfishness is a dangerous disease!!!
