What will tabling the allowances of NCC members achieve? The majority of the NCC members are government officials with vested interest in the approval of allowances. What this manoeuvrings is is that it amounts to a mockery of the Zambian people especially those living way below the poverty datum line. When will this insatiable desire to rob public funds stop? It is all too clear that the current crop of leadership lacks developmental focus and complete inability to priorities the development of the country. The leadership seems to be racing against time considering that 2011 is just around the corner and therefore sees the urgency to amass wealth now under current corrupt system. Zambia's roads in many residential areas in Zambia are far from being acceptable and it is a wonder how area MPs even have the audacity to crave for their gratuity. At the rate the country's public funds are being misused or let's say misappropriated, there is no hope that residential infrastructure, especially roads, will ever be repaired to the level that was common during the First Republic. A recent of photo of a road linking Lumumba road with Luanshya road is a perfect example of how roads have deteriorated in Lusaka.The ZMK5 billion that NCC members are hankering for can be used to repair roads to benefit the masses as opposed to funneling the money into the pockets of the undeserving few.
