ZAWAPA President Howard Kunda Criticizes New Dawn Administration, Calls 2024 a Disaster
Howard Kunda, President of the Zambia Wake-Up Party (ZAWAPA), has described 2024 as a disaster due to escalating poverty, power deficits, a high cost of living, and unstable fuel prices. He attributes these challenges to the New Dawn administration’s failure to deliver on its promises.

In a recent statement, Howard Kunda emphasized that government leaders must take responsibility for the economic struggles faced by the majority of Zambians. “The New Dawn administration has failed to provide solutions, and this has deepened the suffering of our people,” he remarked.

Mr. Kunda highlighted the persistent power deficits, volatile fuel prices, and rising poverty levels as symptoms of the government’s inefficiency. He called for immediate corrective measures to alleviate the hardships of Zambian citizens.

The ZAWAPA president accused the ruling New Dawn administration of lacking concrete strategies to address pressing issues such as unemployment, inflation, and resource mismanagement. He warned that such negligence could have long-term repercussions for the country.

“The people of Zambia deserve a government that listens and acts decisively,” said Kunda. He urged the administration to re-evaluate its priorities and focus on policies that directly benefit the populace.

    • We were told fuel prices would be reduced, we were told fuel prices were high in the PF era because of too many middle men. So there is nothing wrong with Zawapa pointing out that which was promised. Regional prices are not up from K17 to K33

  1. LT -His remarks reflect a broader sentment of disilutionment among opposition parties…………………….. Is this your (LT) own opinion or ZaWaPA president Howard Kunda. Mr Kunda is commenting about how UPND has performed in 2024. LT is making commentary over what ZAWAPA president has stated. What type of reportage is this? Be professional to your readership. Your commentary is misleading the general public for we can not make sense out of it, whether the comments are attributed to the author of the story or LT is commenting on his behalf – poor journalism
