Captain Nyambe said sustainable development cannot be done over night, but definitely will be achieved over a period of time.

 

Government will not allow people to starve, but will continue to take intervention measures whenever necessary, he said.

 

Captain Nyambe stated that the money to saved from subsidies will go towards the construction of good schools, universities, hospitals and various road networks.
