President Hakainde Hichilema’s recent address to Parliament was a defining moment of leadership clarity. It was not a ceremonial speech. It was a progress report from a President determined to rebuild a nation that had been pushed to the brink by years of economic recklessness and institutional decay.

His message was clear and uncompromising. Zambia is no longer drifting. Zambia is recovering.

Zambia is advancing. This achievement alone has restored confidence among investors and cooperating partners who had lost trust in Zambia’s financial credibility. This is not theoretical progress.

It is measurable recovery. The President further emphasized reforms in key sectors such as mining, agriculture, manufacturing and tourism. These sectors are not accidental priorities.

They are the engines of job creation and national prosperity. Zambia’s economic future lies in production, value addition and industrialization. President Hichilema understands that a country cannot consume its way to prosperity.

It must produce its way there. One of the most powerful pillars of his vision remains human development. Free education has returned millions of children to school, restoring hope and opportunity to families that had been excluded by poverty.

This single policy will shape Zambia’s future workforce and strengthen the country’s long-term economic foundation. At the same time, the recruitment of thousands of teachers and continued investment in skills development demonstrates a government investing not only in today’s stability but in tomorrow’s prosperity. Equally significant was his firm commitment to governance, accountability and the rule of law.

President Hichilema made it clear that Zambia’s future cannot be built on corruption and political impunity. It must be built on discipline, transparency and institutional integrity. This is the foundation upon which serious nations rise.

What distinguishes President Hichilema’s leadership is not rhetoric but direction. He is not governing for applause. He is governing for results.

He has restored credibility to government, confidence to investors and hope to citizens. He has replaced chaos with order and uncertainty with purpose. Zambia today stands at a decisive turning point.

The damage of the past cannot be erased overnight, but the path forward is now clear. Under President Hakainde Hichilema’s leadership, Zambia is stabilizing, rebuilding and positioning itself for long-term prosperity. This is what vision looks like.

And this is what responsible leadership delivers. Indeed it’s your vision Sir, that suits your needs and interestsBut doesnt offer much to us now and security to future generations He is not the right fit. But when I check both opposition and ruling party, we seem not to have somebody with the capacity and competence to salvage this country economically.

With ‘our’ foreign owned mines, their priority is their country of origin, and they are not to blame. We will continue getting the crumbs.
