Time will come when fuel prices will be lower than where the Patriotic Front (PF) left it because of the interventions the UPND administration has put in place, Thabo Kawana, has predicted.

Mr Kawana said the monthly review of pump prices of fuel was not going to be revised because it had already started bearing fruit in the predictability of the fuel pump prices

He said whenever there was a slight reduction in the fuel prices on the international market, the benefit would be quickly be accrued to the people on the ground.

Mr Kawana said it was good that people were now paying the actual prices for fuel than when the Patriotic Front (PF) was in government which used to cushion consumers through borrowing while failing to pay Oil Marketing Companies leaving the country with a huge debt.

He said the measures that the UPND had put in place were bearing fruit and that was the reason there were a lot of job adverts seeking to employ as many Zambians around the country.

Mr Kawana said that there was no communication vacuum in government as the narrative was being peddled by the opposition.

He said the government had been communicating to the people the policies that it was implementing.  

“It was just unfortunate the opposition was spreading propaganda that the media was buying into. We can’t be replying to all the propaganda by the opposition,” Mr Kawana said.

Meanwhile, Mr Kawana has said government had released the entire K25.7 million Constituency Development Fund (CDF) to all the 150 constituencies across the country.

He said bottlenecks that most of the Members of Parliament were complaining about had been resolved that Zambians would now be able to aces the fund with minimum challenges.
