KAMBWILI canes NAWAKWI

Government has reacted strongly against opposition FDD Leader Edith Nawakwi for suggesting that President Edgar Lungu’s trips abroad are unnecessary.

Mr. Kambwili says President Lungu’s trip to China is to woe investors that will help create jobs in various sectors of the economy.

He says China is Zambia and Africa’s biggest market.

Mr. Kambwili says locally, Zambia, continues to benefit immensely from China’s investment in mines, schools, hospitals, roads, sports stadia and other social and economic infrastructure across the country.

Mr. Kambwili says instead of attacking Government, the FDD leader ought to be reminded that Zambians to date, are still waiting for answers from her on her alleged role in the Carlington maize saga.

He has called on all well meaning Zambians to come forward and offer suggestions how to develop the country in a sincere and civil manner.

Mr. Kambwili was reacting to Ms. Nawakwi’s attacks on President Lungu, as quoted in one of the daily tabloid newspapers.
