And the MMD leader says there is need for a paradigm shift as regards the work ethics and attitudes as the answers to the challenges faced by the continent can not come from outside but from within.
“The answers to our challenges are right in our hands, in our work ethics, in our actions, in having a paradigm shift in the mindsets. Lets not ask what others will do for us, lets start from inside and do it ourselves. It is possible, as the opportunities are immense.”

“We need to make sure that we translate the signing of the free trade areas for Africa that was done early this year in Kigali, moving from the signing ceremony to practical implementation of the agreement, and that it is possible to do better in Africa. Lets break down the hesitations, the bureaucracies that are slowing down the expansion of trade in Africa. Let us deal with the bureaucracies and irritations of boarder crossing for example. Let us deal with infrastructure that is not connecting us and helping us to trade with each other and let us share idea’s and technology,” he said.
