Woman Giving Birth In Public

I received the email with the said images of a woman who gave birth in public which circulated in Lusaka with shock. They are some sight for us sensetive people.

I had hoped and prayed that the government officials had seen them and would work on something to stop the strikes. So when I heard a press briefing (I will delibarately call it that) was called by the president that, well, we hear something of value from the man. I swear, I think he is not worth my time to write about as I'm yet to see substance from the man. And boom!!! Again no substance. But what shocked me was to learn that he had seen the pictures!! Is he ok with all that?

Well, he seemed to be very fine with it. Just never the Post should send images like that. They should make sure no one sees them as he wouldn't show the pictures of his mother to someone else! Infact, he was more annoyed at being asked to comment about Dora Siliya than the medical workers strike. He was so pissed he even diverted to talk about the pictures because he was asked about Dora. Hallo! None of us would like such pictures to be taken or even thought of. But what shocks us, is the result of your doing. You are ready to increase political office bearers' salaries and allowances, but think that medical workers are insane to demand for something in a fraction of what you award yourselves! Are you all ok? A small pain in the toe would make you rush to South Africa for treatment and yet mothers have to suffer to give birth. Thats an insult to your own mother to even include her in the picture when alot of things are going wrong. I'm sure and positively sure she taught you well to make sure you realize what is good and bad. Whats wrong with the people we put in office? The issue is not the picture, it is what led to the situation. Besides was the picture sent to the public or the people in charge of manning the offices?

Pornography??? Do you know what porn is? That was not porn, that was gruesome. Horrible at the least. Even the press briefing did not have an intensity of someone concerned and fighting fo rthe betterment of the people! It only got hot when Dora was addressed in the topic. Come on, that monkey was an omen which should show you how much even animals look at what you do and did. Which president has ever made Skynews headlines from urine? Only our 'leader' what a show. You made history at being on the wrong end of the monkeys pee.

Here is what I expected from you and your group. If you meant improving service delivery in the medical sector:-
  • Spend all the money meant for luxury clinics in South Africa in our institutions. No one developed South Africa apart from South Africans. I would call my dad a fool to go and bath in our neighbour's bathroom because he can't fix ours.
  • Make sure you setup a policy to make it only as a matter of impossibility to be handled in our country for any minister to go to other countries for treatment. That way, you would ensure all things good and resources are spent on our workers. Kaunda was treated in UTH and if that fails, Maina Soko. Thats a leader - no monkey would fail to respect that.
  • Lead the people in looking and believing 'Made in Zambia' is the best. How I wish I could be given a chance to let people know that they shouldn't look elsewhere but home. You have the chance, but you want to be bigger than the Post!
I hate the fact that I spent valuable time looking at an issue I thought someone with sense would truelly address as a leader but completely failed to even look at its cover.

Where is the substance in Zambia?
