The association president has further stated that since 1991 when the late former president Fredrick chiluba signed the liberal policy, Zambia has been losing revenue and the implementation of this policy will see change and the country’s economy will normalize.

He added that the association has been advocating for the same policy in order to safe guard the country’s revenue and its implementation has come at the right time.

The Kawambwa district youth network chairperson Mr Jordan mulunga says the increase in the prices of commodities is because of the factors affecting the business community.
Mr. mulunga stated that looking at the season, there are some industries who have gone on industrial break and such reduce the productivity rate of some certain commodities while the demand for the same products remains the same.
The chairperson highlighted that this factor influences both the commercial and local proprietors to also increase their prices so as to attain a minimum profit from their businesses.
He further disclosed that in the recent past years, the prices of goods on the Zambian market were equal to the ‘needs of the communities as compared to the current one because the rate at which the manufactures increase prices on their commodities now, is a bit high as compared to the previous years.
Mr. Mulunga also said that even if the fuel prices might be maintained and stable, it is difficult to maintain the prices of goods and services because of the distances that are being covered by the transporters who bring goods to kawambwa from Lusaka and other area where these commodities are manufactured
The chairperson also mentioned that the inflation rate and the increase in wages, taxes and money supply also contribute to the escalating prices of commodities on the market.
This came to light during the lukwanga radios breakfast show that was conducted this morning.
