In a recent interview, former home affairs minister Stephen Kampyongo expressed concern about the financial struggles faced by many Zambians during the upcoming festive season. He questioned whether citizens would be able to afford the traditional Christmas meal of rice and chicken, highlighting the current difficulties in even purchasing kandolo. Furthermore, he pondered whether people would have the means to go on vacation with the soaring fuel costs.
As the holiday season approaches, uncertainty looms over the dinner tables and travel plans of Zambians. The high cost of living has left many questioning their ability to enjoy the festivities as they have in the past. With these challenges in mind, it is crucial for the government to prioritize addressing the concerns raised by Kampyongo.
As the dust settles on this year, Zambians are left hoping for a brighter and more prosperous future, where the joyous traditions of Christmas can be enjoyed by all.
