Hichilema finally loses support from his only stronghold!

…as the international community sees through his lies and demands that Hichilema declares his assets.

Lusaka, Nov. 24 – US Ambassador to Zambia, Michael Gonzales, has disagreed with President Hakainde Hichilema stance on transparency, demanding the he must declare his assets “today” and do so annually until his term in office expires so that he sets an example for all other public servants to emulate.

Speaking during the Zambia Anti-Corruption Conference in Livingstone, on Monday, Ambassador Gonzales said there was need to expand the declaration of assets and urged President Hakainde Hichilema to lead in this exercise, saying leadership was demonstrated through actions and not words.

Ambassador Gonzales says the public is right to demand answers when they see that a husband to the (former) Information Minister continues being awarded massive government contracts for the supply of fertilizer.

And Swedish Ambassador to Zambia Johan Hallenborg said forfeiture and asset recovery does not send a strong signal of wrongdoing.

Critically thinking, these pronouncements mean that Hichilema’s stronghold, the international community, now understands that the chap is liar.
