Mwamba a former Ambassador at the Africa Union says this despite the country going through economic challenges. He has called on President Hichilema to exercise prudence.
“In the last one month alone, President Hakainde Hichilema has travelled to England, Scotland, France, Ukraine, Russia, Rwanda, France again, Angola, and Ghana,: Ambassador Mwamba said. “Under two years, President Hichilema has taken over 40 international trips.”
Mwamba added, “Despite the country facing the economic crisis, despite preaching austerity measures, despite the country experiencing the highest cost of living, despite the serious economic challenges, the President and his Cabinet Ministers have been taking international trips without recourse to prudence or restraint.”
Mwamba made the comments yesterday following President Hichilema’s State visit to Ghana.
While in opposition, Hichilema condemned then president Edgar Lungu for making several foreign trips.
