This year every Zambian must stand up and support the opposition in the fight against MMD and its band of thieves. It is shameful and agonizing to see so many that have stolen Zambian public funds align themselves with RB. A leader that accepts thieves and money launderers openly as RB has shown, his actions expose his true nature. This year, like 1991, must be a decisive year when Zambians must go the polls with a single-minded purpose to remove the MMD from power. Against this background, every Vote must be jealously protected from those bent on rigging. The MMD are fully aware that they will not win the 2011 General Elections without resorting to vote manipulation. Zambians must deal RB and his cohorts in MMD a fatal blow worse than one inflicted on UNIP in 1991. We urge every Zambians to be as vigilant and not be tolerant against machinery designed to rig elections.
Can we not, for a change, aim at accruing wealth legitimately? That desire for quick and overnight and instant wealth is so paralyzing in the minds of many in the country such that all they dream about when they go to bed every night is how to embezzle funds. It seems that many people now specialize in planning how to steal public funds undetected. Underground cartels are so entrenched that it is hard to tell who is involved and who is not. It is clear that many people are involved in the scourge to ensure that everyone that knows about the scum keeps their mouths shut. However, honest and innocent Zambians are in the majority and we hope that all these people will rally behind the opposition to wrestle power from a crooked system of government. It is our hope that when the opposition comes to power this year, they will play by the rules and ensure that cases against FJT and his wife, Xavier Chungu and many others that escaped jail time by virtue of what appeared to be judicial interferences by MMD leadership are reopened.
I understand and share your frustration with the MMD, but I do not see a compelling reason to support the opposition. What do they offer that's so different? A party like PF is so inconsistent on its stance on issues like mining taxation, and why should I expect them to be different? Would we not be just putting into office another group of crooks looking to score?
ReplyDeleteI'll use PF again as an example since they are the likeliest to get significant votes. Michael Sata was MMD almost from its inception and only left when he was passed over for the party leadership, and has been ranting ever since. A lot of things MMD has done and is doing are the same that he did and endorsed. How has he changed and how can he deliver things he was unable to do in the 10 years he spent as FTJ's right hand man?
As Zambians we need to be serious and get over this amnesia that plagues us. Demand real answers from ALL politicians who are seeking office and don't just accept their word because they promise the sun and the moon. We have a lot at stake and need to ensure the right people are in office to accomplish the goals.
