WE HAVE ACHIEVED OVER 90 PERCENT OF OUR PROMISES – UPND By Darius Choonya The ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) claims it has achieved over 90 percent of its promises for the period from 2021 to 2024. President Hakainde Hichilema’s Special Assistant for Policy and Compliance, Joseph Lungu, says this is based on the UPND’s own analysis and research on the status of the promises made. He says the fulfilled promises range from free education to an enhanced Constituency Development Fund (CDF). Meanwhile, Special Assistant and Advisor to the President for Finance and Investment, Jitto Kayumba, has urged citizens to engage with their leaders to fully understand and access the CDF. The duo made these remarks in a now-viral video, in which they discussed the implementation status of key policy reforms by the New Dawn administration, as detailed in a newly released booklet. However, Development Expert Dr. Charity Musamba has argued that the projections made by President Hichilema’s aides do not reflect the reality on the ground. She says the cost of living remains high, preventing many people from affording proper meals. #NewsOnTheGo

THEY TOOK MY LAND, MY WIFE, AND MY LIFE – BARLASTON FARM OWNER BREAKS SILENCE ON 8 YEAR ORDEAL By Victoria Kayeye Yambani In a harrowing account of loss and injustice, Barlaston Park Farm owner Webster Muhango has revealed how his land was violently grabbed eight years ago by alleged Patriotic Front members an incident that left his wife dead after she was threatened with rape for trying to defend their property. Mr Muhango, who last week reclaimed the land through a court order that saw over 20 families evicted, says the trauma of that day has shattered his life, robbed him of his marriage, estranged him from his children, and left him bitter at a system that allowed big people to invade without paying a single kwacha.
