Praise Thieves and Proscute Heros?

I have watched with shock at what is happening to Zambia. Seriously this is like a dream that a one time fight against corruption has the entire government geared to stop it at all means possible! Are we being taken for stupid people all of a sudden? Isn't Chiluba who thought he could do anything including run for a third term until we went on the streets of Parliament to stop him and later remove his immunity? Are people is Zambia so dull that you can easily change things and make them dance to wht you want?

RB should not think he can be there forever! I personally want to see him take on not only his mis-deeds one day but the evils of the people he has protected. He should pay and his family involved in all these should also pay. At the moment I really think hes doing a good job at making us angry. He has started a good way to be hit and pinned down with crimes that others he protected have gotten away with.

Should the people depend on lawyers with noble intentions for withdrawn cases for a chance of justice? Why not change that silly ministry from Justice to 'Courts Control'? I think it would make us see the true picture and their intentions well in advance. We don't need blanket names to hide what the whole world knows about the evils being carried on.

Zambian government is truthfully a joke and one that makes people pay for the evils of their leaders. Now my complain has always been. Things start very slowly heazding for the worst and the so called donors do not call for accountability of the monies that such governments borrow. Why should they continue giving debt to countries which can't even run a good legal system to punish those that have stolen money from the people? They, if at all their intentions are genuine, call for complete audit of all they give and they should make sure the money is used for intended purposes. They not only owe it to their tax-payers, but they also owe it to the Zambians who have to pay back the monies borrowed. It is only fair and a normal duty for them to make it a point that they follow the process from the time the money is borrowed to the end. If this does not go inline with issues of independent decisions for the local governments, why lend them the money then? Let the local government create means that will bring them the money, use the local resources and local experts in achieving desired goals for the country. It does not pay to borrow money and waste it and make tax-payers repay it.

I'm a strong believe of 'No Borrowing If You Can't Pay'! There has to be system that will ensure the borrowed funds have a system that will push for the repay from the projects being conducted or a predetermined way of repayment. There is no need for Zambia to borrow if K27 billion will be wasted on luxury for people like Kapoko. Why did we waste so much? We should have used the money we had in bringing decent hospitals and services for the people. K27 billion? I honestly would not give aid to a country which wastes money like that. So the issue is not only an embarrassment to the country but a shame that such things can happen to a developing country.

Now imagine that that issue had people involved who will be left and probably praised by our government if the leaders are involved. It is the same with the Chiluba issue. So much money was wasted in the case and alot more in the process of investigation. At the end, RB smiles and says I'm happy Zambians have accepted the outcome and Chiluba wants his money back! Accepted? What do you mean we have accepted. If it was a complete and fair process, we would accept with no questions asked. But for you to say 'accept' means you had issues with it and wanted us to take it the way it is.

We are in a bad state right now. I know the people to blame are all these leaders who aim at ripping the Zambians off all that they own. It is time we set out a system that will serve the interests of the people not the greedy leaders. I want to wake up one day and see a leader who will do what I want - develop Zambia in all sectors. If that leader will also make it impossible for previous leaders to enjoy the stolen wealth, makes me even better!

I have been thinking we need to get rid of this democracy and bring in a harsh system. Harsh on people who steal and do not work for the rewards. I think right now, I would trade all the peace and the so called democracy if the Libya and China system will achieve the greater good, if it works on punishing leaders who betray their country. I would only trade those systems if we have leaders and a system like the USA democracy where people are accountable and punished when their steal! Right now, Zambia gives me no hope and no future, which is worth getting rid of in place for a system that will make people accountable.

Should we always look to International courts to resolve simple issues? What is a legal system if it does not look after the people? What can we get out of this country when thieves are honored and heros who expose the bad deeds of a system are even thought of being distributors of obscene material? Thieves can appeal but the people cannot? And you wonder why I never respect any lawyer or judge int this country. They have never worked for the people - ever! They work for their masters. Thats why we don't even have a supreme legal document worth talking about. We have people who will work on it whenever they feel like.

RB is the worst thing that can ever happen to Zambia, and we are still in a nightmare over the issue. Impeaching the man is the least we can do. We must make sure when he leaves office, the law follows him in all corners of this planet and beyond. Among the living and beyond! He has to face up to what he has done - totally.
