Hard-boiled IMF/World Bank

Dear Editor,

THERE are those who deem and believe that the two institutions are the catholicon to their economic woes, but how pathetic they are.
The holy truth is that these two financial bodies are actually killing machines created to further make Africans poorer and sad.
Essentially they are not there to improve the economies of their “former” slaves (we still are slaves) in Africa but also rather to reap where they did not sow. Have you ever wondered why their programmes have never worked anywhere in the world, and particularly in Africa?
It is because they were designed to ensure owners leave African countries with a few more apples in their pockets to take home.
The owners of IMF/World Bank are certainly brutal, murderous, oppressive, insupportable and barbaric to say the least. The whole idea, in my opinion, is that Africa should remain dependent on them because in that way, they can easily access the continent’s vast natural resources given unto them by God.
These owners of the IMF/World Bank have no intention whatsoever to help develop Africa because it is none of their business.
So, when our President Hakainde Hichilema runs to these people for help many of us know just too well that it is about chasing mirrors in the Sahara desert.
Under our stylish UPND, Zambia has been experimenting the IMF/World Bank programmes for nearly three years now while our Bank of Zambia governor, Dr Denny Kalyalya keeps reminding us that our economy is overheating.
So, what is this obsession about the IMF/World Bank when even a blind man can see that these foreign programmes will for many years to come remain undoable and preposterous for us?
So until Zambia realises and understands this demonic exposure and comes up with its own home-grown solutions, Lusaka will remain susceptible to the two financial bodies and die in silence and despair.
GERY KABASO,
Kabwe.
