Economic Analyst, Yusuf Dodia, says government must not ignore voices coming from ordinary citizens on the need to reduce the cost of living.
Mr. Dodia said this in Lusaka today, when he featured on Christian Voices’ Chatback program on the topic, “state of the economy”.
He said that despite government making gains on the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) and Education sector, reducing the cost of living remains important to the Zambian people.
“It is unfortunate that policy makers are engaging in political fights as opposed to addressing serious issues affecting Zambians”, said Mr. Dodia.
And Mr. Dodia has encouraged government to prioritise local solutions to the current economic woes, as opposed to looking for financial help from international partners.
He stressed the need to re-model the mining sector to ensure the country economically benefits from the mineral resources.
