MMD: WHERE ARE THE JOBS FOR ZAMBIANS?

Majority of Zambians are angry and frustrated with the direction this country. This frustration by Zambians is similar to the one which was felt in 1991 election against the UNIP government.

MMD party is so preoccupied with securing and safeguarding its own political jobs for 2011 rather create jobs for millions of unemployed Zambians.Even more frightening to Zambians is the idea that the Banda Presidency will seek another five years meaning that the status quo will be continued.

The economic revival plan which President Banda affirms as a successful is yet to be seen by the people of Zambia . Those who question the revival are being condemned. After 18 years in power, the MMD continue to present itself as a victim to opposition when questioned over its failing policies.How many jobs has economic revival plan created or saved? More Zambians continue to loss jobs and those who are employed are either casual, underpaid or about to be laid off. Others are forced to retire without pension. And if they have pension, it will take another four years to claim that pension.

It will a difficulty task for MMD to convince Zambians for another five years. The RB Presidency has so far a very thin public service delivery to show to voters. Despite many promises to continue the New Deal Administration goals, the Banda Presidency has almost abandoned, broken and forgotten the essential pillars from the New Deal especially to prosecute corruption and get a fair tax revenue from the mining investors.

The MMD government has failed to provide the required political leadership to solve the many issues facing Zambia . The party is not offering any new solutions on education, health and development. As for my fellow Zambians; we can’t keep voting the same party over and over again and expect different results. Zambians, should not expect a different results on education, job creation, healthcare reforms, roads in Zambia from the same political behavior of the past 18 years
