Mislead and taking the Zambian electorate for imbeciles'?<BR/>How dare can Teta, turn around today and support former president Frederick Chiluba and accuse the judiciary of demonizing the former head of state? Teta is also shooting Banda in the foot who has indicated that once elected into power he will carry on with Mwanawasa's policy on the fight against corruption and alleged plunder of national resources.<BR/>Its highly immoral and political buffoonery for a man like Teta, who assumes Zambians and the media at large have short memories, or simply do not keep track records of what he says.<BR/>According to Bivan Saluseki's story carried by the Post May, 18, 2007, Teta was quoted saying, "Pressure on Chiluba will continue until he owns up," He was also quoted in the same tabloid as having said, "the MMD doesn't want Chiluba."<BR/>On what moral high ground is Teta speaking today suggesting that Dr. Chiluba is being demonized? It’s shameful really for the MMD spokesperson to take this direction.<BR/>Much as it is said that "politics is a dirty game" political leaders especially those in government must take responsibility and must learn to use ‘their heads’ before making certain comments contemporaneously? <BR/>If the MMD intend to use Chiluba as a ballot booster then they are being unfair to the man who in all fairness has the liberty to endorse anybody's candidature.<BR/>I really question the outspoken MMD spokes man's integrity if he can easily shift the MMD’s goal posts during this crucial presidential bye election. <BR/> Chiluba’s saga in court and allegations leveled against him, for me is a very big issue in Zambia and therefore matters that border around him must be treated with the seriousness they deserve.<BR/>Government has spent billions in investigating the man, how come today a Chap from Solwezi,’ boot licking’ for a ministerial car should sink so low and speak carelessly?<BR/>Zambians abroad are very bitter at the manner government and political leaders take advantage of the docile electorate!<BR/>Zambians, wake-up and vote wisely, please ignore the packaging of stupid politics. <BR/>Civil society empower those villagers who simply vote on the basis of government and MMD cheap bribery and diabolical corrupt activities.<BR/>Let us not be swayed by Government spin and seemingly appropriate media announcements directed at shaping the minds of the voters, “ Chiluba’s plot found?, Kaunda given house and car, civil servants to receive their arrears,” including those who left without pensions. Why does this government wait for an election to implement developmental projects is not corruption?<BR/> Civil society pound on these issues and not just the NCC which does not mean anything in the first place other than fat allowances to a few greedy good for nothing ‘chancers,’ God forbid.<BR/>If were given the chance to vote I would try an opposition party for obvious reasons. The death of Levy Mwanawasa is a huge expose’ of how corrupt the MMD still is, which an indicator of worse things to come is also.<BR/>I would definitely stick my money on the opposition! Another is government sharing the UK and USA monetary donations towards to the participating opposition parties. The finance is towards for is a national cake which must shared among stakeholders.<BR/>Let this election be issue based and not based on a minority’s greed. “ We want change we can Believe in”.<BR/><BR/>Brian Malama<BR/>Cardiff<BR/>UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6900460698887397063.post-51178625894413629102008-10-10T20:32:00.000+01:002008-10-10T20:32:00.000+01:00It's a very good point you've raised there sir.Per...It's a very good point you've raised there sir.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps the only experience HH doesn't have is running down a country, at which the other two are well seasoned!<BR/><BR/>However, given that many agree all the candidates have serious demerits, this election appears to have put the country in a rather precarious situation.<BR/><BR/>It will be a question of the least evil candidate winning.Zedianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15620459516168720746noreply@blogger.com
