The United Prosperous and Peaceful Zambia (UPPZ) has called on both government and opposition leaders to take collective responsibility for the country’s ongoing challenges, urging unity in addressing national issues.
UPPZ President, Charles Chanda, expressed concern over what he described as the tendency by former government officials to oppose current policies without acknowledging their own role in creating Zambia’s socio-economic difficulties.
In an interview with Zambia Monitor, Chanda questioned the posture of previous leaders who now criticize the government, despite contributing to the problems Zambia was facing.
“There has been little meaningful progress in providing essential services and infrastructure to the people since independence in 1964,” Chanda said.
He emphasized the need to prioritize the basic needs of Zambians, including leveraging revenue from mining taxes, which he said could significantly improve public service delivery—if political unity and cooperation were embraced.
Chanda urged both current and former leaders to stop the cycle of blame and focus instead on national development.
“By working together, leaders can find practical solutions to the country’s challenges and help build a more prosperous Zambia,” he said.
