Transparency International Zambia (TIZ) President Rueben Lifuka has
challenged the next regime to ensure it implements a budget that will help
alter the current approach to development and work towards driving and revising
pro-poor policies to redress issues such as poverty.
Mr Lifuka says there is need for the new Government to improve management of
resources to allow for the smooth running of the nation’s affairs.
He said the in-coming leadership should implement policies that will advance
the system and have Zambian people as priorities as opposed to the favoring of
foreigners.
Mr Lifuka noted that the 2012 budget must be pro-poor with an analysis of
investment policies and not fake economic growth statistics.
He said the next Government should address poverty and other critical issues
both in urban and rural areas if the country is to boast of meaningful economic
growth.
Mr Lifuka further said there is need for
extensive debates concerning the budget as it determines the direction the
nation will take and is a tool that leaders will use to provide adequate social
services for the citizens.
