Upright Government A Must for Development in Zambia

The behaviour of the PF lead government is raising serious concerns in view of it's apparent failure to observe and adhere to it election and post-election campaign promises to fight corruption by all means possible. A number of factors have contributed to this development and a negative perception that the people now harbour. One is the continuous reckless appointment, with impunity, of people with highly questionable moral character and also those with seriously tainted backgrounds.

The majority of Zambians that cast their vote for Sata and PF now have serious doubts and misgivings about the lack of seriousness on the part of Michael Sata in the manner he goes about his appointments. Most of us are now wondering where the Government is headed and what options we have to address the situation before it gets outrageously out of control. We need a government that will respect the wishes of the people that gave it the opportunity to be at the reigns of power other than acting superior and making unconscious and uninspiring appointments.

We need to build a nation of upright leaders with unquestionable sense of judgment. The PF government must work toward distinguishing and steering itself away from the 20 year tainted MMD reign of undiluted corruption. This will be key to achieve the country's desire to attract credible investors. A corrupt leadership such as MMD was will only attract corrupt investors that purchase their way and subsequently subject Zambians to inhumane treatment as the case is with the Chinese. Uprightness is a vital ingredient to the economic development of our country.
