By SYLVIA MWEETWA –
UNITED Party for  National Development (UPND) president  Hakainde  Hichilema has assured the people in Kapiri Mposhi that he will ensure that  farming puts are delivered on time once elected Republican President in the forthcoming elections.
Mr Hichilema said he is a farmer and he understands the importance of early planning and delivery of farming inputs, which in turn would enhance the much needed food security and increase agricultural activities.
He was speaking  in Kapiri  Mposhi on Saturday afternoon when he  addressed  a  rally.
Mr Hichilema said once elected President, he  would  work towards  ensuring that  the  concerns of farmers  are  addressed,  such  as  delay  of  payment  for  maize  supplied.
The  UPND leader appealed to the  people in Kapiri  Mposhi  to give  him  a  vote  during the January 20, 2014  elections  and  pledged  that  he would  bring  to the  higher  office  new  ideas  aimed  at  turning  the  state  of  country’s economy.
“I  want  to  let  you know  that  I am  a missionary  in politics  whose  interest  is to turn  around  the economy  of the country and  I want to assure  our  farmers  here  since this  is a farming area that I will  work towards addressing your  concerns,” he said.
He said he was  the  only credible  leader who  has  interest  to  turn around  the country’s  economy and that his  interest  is  to be the servant of the people of Zambia and asked them  to give him a  chance.
Earlier  during a  rally  in  Kabwe ‘s  Comet area, former  first  lady  Maureen Mwanawasa  appealed  to  the people to  vote for Mr  Hichilema  because  he was the  only credible  leader.
She  said she decided  to  support  Mr Hichilema because  she was  convinced  that  he has a heart  for the  country and that he deserves their vote.
Alliance for Development and Democracy leader Charles Milupi said Mr  Hichilema was the  only  leader  who  would be able to turn around  the  country’s  economy.
