….Liswaniso calls for discipline and national unity as he applauds President Hichilema’s K10 million donation to fire victims in Chingola, urging Zambians to reject lawlessness and embrace constructive dialogue.

LUSAKA-(MaraviPost)-UPND National Youth Chairman Gilbert Liswaniso has strongly condemned those celebrating the recent unruly behaviour in Chingola, describing their actions as immoral and politically motivated.

Liswaniso said the lack of morals was clearly evident when some individuals rejoiced over chaos and violence simply to gain political advantage, despite President Hakainde Hichilema’s genuine efforts to assist victims of the Chiwempala Market fire.

He questioned the conscience of those mocking the President’s humanitarian gesture, asking who would have compensated the widows and families that lost their livelihoods if the Head of State had not intervened.

“Who will compensate the widow who lost her capital, which she relied on to support her family, if the President had not boldly allocated ten million kwacha?” Liswaniso asked.

He commended President Hichilema for showing decisive leadership and compassion by allocating K10 million to assist genuine victims affected by the devastating fire.

According to Liswaniso, the President’s action demonstrates a deep commitment to uplifting vulnerable citizens and reflects a government that listens and responds to the needs of its people.

He expressed disappointment with individuals who advocate for indiscipline and lawlessness while claiming to have the country’s best interests at heart.

“I strongly believe in discipline,” Liswaniso said. “It is disheartening to see people promoting disorder while pretending to be leaders capable of governing the country.”

He stressed that Zambia’s focus should remain on improving the livelihoods of its citizens and fostering national unity, not on sowing division and violence for short-term political gains.

Liswaniso emphasized that national dialogue and mutual respect are essential for progress, urging all Zambians to engage constructively whenever issues arise.

“Our focus should be on improving the livelihoods of our citizens. If there are issues, let’s engage respectfully and find the best solutions, rather than destroying the country to benefit unruly groups,” he said.

He also thanked President Hichilema for his leadership and generosity, saying the K10 million donation had sparked meaningful national debate and served as a reminder of the President’s love for the Zambian people.

Liswaniso said the gesture not only provided relief to affected traders but also reaffirmed the President’s commitment to a compassionate and people-centred government.

He further noted that the President was fully aware of the challenges at Senseli Mine and assured citizens that decisive steps were being taken to protect the welfare and future of all those affected.

“The President is aware of the situation at Senseli Mine, and decisions are being made to protect our people while ensuring that operations safeguard the future of everyone affected,” Liswaniso explained.

He concluded by urging Zambians, especially the youth, to reject violence and support the President’s efforts to build a peaceful and prosperous nation.

Liswaniso reaffirmed that discipline, unity, and respect for leadership remain the cornerstones of national development and true patriotism.
