Mr Kapoma observed that the manifesto would address the challenges that the country has been facing. “The manifesto has explained clearly how the borrowed money has been used. This gives encouragement to the citizens. “The manifesto is full of practical strategies and once implemented the country will be headed in the right direction. That is what is required unlike other manifestos which are not practical,” he added. He noted that the PF Government had concentrated on building the country adding that in the next five years, it he will embark on empowering the citizens.  Mr Kapoma noted that once voted, the country would see more developmental programmes aimed at empowering the people.
