DEMOCRATIC Party (DP) has reiterated that Zambia has enough resources that if put to good use can improve the economy and subsquent end the high poverty levels being experienced in the country. This is achievable once right policies are put in place.

The Party believes that agriculture and industrialisation agenda remains the solution to the problems the country is currently facing.

DP President who is also the 2021 Presidential candidate Mr. Harry Kalaba observes that Zambia’s challenges are driven by leadership crisis which has failed to put in place policies that lead to economic emancipation.

Mr. Kalaba added that the failed Constitutional amendment Bill 10 is one issue that should not have been considered under the current economic pressure.

And speaking on a Radio programme at Radio Maria in Chipata, Mr. Kalaba who is in Eastern province for party mobilization buttressed his priority as Republican President will be enhancing agriculture which will move in tandem with the manufacturing agenda for value addition on agricultural products, employment creation and foreign exchange earnings.

The DP leader added that from the DP four-pillars manifesto, he is confident that the agriculture and industrialisation pillars will enable the country be demarcated. He stated that DP in power will introduce different international agricultural companies in each province. The companies will enable the farmers to be out-grower schemes. Farmers will be farming and supplying to these companies. The said companies will further render agricultural advice to farmers depending on the available area and soil.

He also observed that this agenda will encourage farmers to produce more as the agenda outlines readily available markets and profits for their produce adding that it will be also possible for farmers to be paid in advance.
