WHAT DOES MMD WANT TO ACHIEVE BEYOND 2011 WHICH HAS NOT DONE SINCE 1991?

MMD claims that 2011 elections to be held under new constitution – VP Kunda says.

However, many Zambians are asking what specifically MMD want to achieve beyond 2011 which has not been done since 1991. So far MMD government has failed to effective run two public universities-as we speak CBU is closed. Roads and bridges are death traps to motorists. Clinics and hospitals lack medicines no wonder MMD officials seek health treatment in South Africa. Teachers, medical staff are underpaid. Retirees are beaten for demanding their dues.

It seems the rush to hold 2011 election in new constitution is to bar one opposition leaders who may be a degree holder. The amendment to have only degree holders to be President in Zambia is unconstitutional and a public insult to all Zambians whose majority do not hold the degree. You do not need a degree to see that roads in Zambia require immediate attention. MMD government must instead implement the highest degree to say only PHD holders to run for presidency since we are looking for the best education. The MMD government is directly responsible for Zambians not achieving degrees - actually we see that UNIP government may have produced more Zambians with degrees than MMD regime. The MMD regime has failed the education system is Zambia and does not real solutions to this failed education system in Zambia. WHAT IS MMD POLICY ON EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION? WHAT IS MMD POLICY ON IT EDUCATION?

The real issues that must be resolved in the new constitution is the MMD rule to have 10 nominated MPs in Parliament and having a Vice President appointed without being voted into that positions. This is the most undemocratic MMD plans that are destroying Zambia. The next President must cancel them immediately.Our parliament must be only those representing the people, nothing more.

• WHY HAVE 10 NOMINATED MPs...wasting taxpayers money and representing who?
• WHY HAVE A VICE PRESIDENT WHO IS NOT CHOOSEN BY ZAMBIANS?
• WHY SHOULD RULING MMD GOVERNMENT HAVE MONOPOLY OVER ELECTION DAY?

These are issues which require immediate attention before 2011? No matter how MMD may play the 2011 election tactics, the majority of Zambians are saying enough is enough. Zambians have no clue where the MMD is taking this great nation ours. Zambians are just tired of empty campaign promises that only see actions during election month.

We all love Zambia, MMD must realize that PF or UPND love Zambians and mean well for Zambia just like them. Zambia is going a wrong direction. We must change MMD in 2011 and regain our rightful standing in SADC regione and the world.

2011 ELECTION DAY: ZAMBIA HAVE A FIXED DAY KNOWN TO ALL PARTIES.

It is just fair game that election dates in Zambia must have a fixed day and not remain at the monopoly of the ruling MMD government which only announces whenever its feels ready to campaign. Lets make a fair game here.

Secondly, the voting boxes can be placed outside, not just confined to classrooms or community halls. This will allow more transparency to the system.

Mark your calendars, Monday, 3rd October 2011. A new day is coming for Zambia . MMD government can not govern beyond 3rd October 2011 without a renewal of political mandate from Zambia. The above date will mark exactly the end of the second 5-year term of MMD controlled government.

On 3rd Oct, 2006 the late President (M.H.S.R.I.P) started his second term. Going beyond this date, President RB term would come to an end hence his govermnent must make a case to Zambians and parliament reasons to extend their stay at State House

Election dates in Zambia seem to only benefit the ruling party which has monopoly of choosing a day whenever the party feels ready to hold elections. However, this day belong to Zambians who make an important choice about the kind of government leadership and policy they want. All parties need same and fair rules of elections. A fixed election date creates transparency, more democratic and would increase voter turnout as more people plan for this day. No party in Zambia must monopolize election date to advance its political interests.

Zambia can enact a law to have a fixed election date like other democracies; and we have technology to that. We must have hold elections on weekdays that will allow participating political parties access to courts when challenges occur. Friday election day is a bad choice because courts are closed on weekends to hear file challenges. So challenging partiles wait for Monday to file cases, by which the newly declared person will hold a weekend swearing-in event to gain executive power and immunity- automatically shifts from mere political candidate to Presidency.Therefore we must have amendments about swearing-in ceremonies not be private weekend events, but public events. President Zuma took the aoth of office at a public event. Zambians must witness a newly elected President promise to defend this country.

Zambians must legally expect to see a new president on October 4th 2011. Depending on the commitment to its manifesto and delivery of public services, MMD will be examined again for a third time. If Zambians decide against 3rd term rule(18 years) by MMD government, then Zambians will usher in a new government with a different action plan. Change is important for Zambia ’s democracy.

Task Force Executive Chairman Maxwell Nkole has been fired...

Another sign MMD is weak on Corruption. Nkole was steel on corruption, now he has been fired for doing his job..What a joke...Once again, MMD must go because MMD can not fight corruption- it to weak and disorganised.

Secondly, MMD does not even know how to fire someone and still maintain integrity..How can you fire Nkole on the eve of appealing Chiluba case and his immunity calls.

Zambia needs an independent Anti Corruption commission who mandate must come from Parliament and people of Zambia. We can not entrust MMD govt with another agency when it fires one who questions their corrupt practices.

MMD govt firing of anti corruption boss raises more questions about the manner in which RB is controlling everything in Zambia just to please FTJ. Zambia has now become a laughing stock in the region due to poor management of the national affairs.

Zambian must stop MMD govt in 2011 because we are heading to situation similar to Zimbabwe crisis where everthing with collapse.

These guys have no respect for an independent court, anti corruption agency and media.

Fellow country men and women, we must use our votes wisely to stop MMD turning Zambian into a poor communists state.

Enough is Enough...STOP MMD mismanagement of the Zambia.

According to PF Manifesto blow, this maybe the way to avoid repeating this situations in Zambia again where the sitting President fires anyone whenever he feels like. Of course this may need some beef as well such as Permanent Chairperson and Parlimentary public hearing for any appointed person to lead the agency.

PF Manifesto says, quote:
3.4. THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION AND ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMISSION
􀂃 Watchdog institutions will not fall under the Ministry of Home Affairs but instead there shall be an autonomous board reporting to Parliament. To this end the PF government will enact enabling legislation to provide for the appointment of the members of the Board.
􀂃 The above institutions shall have power to investigate, arrest, and prosecute without reference to any other authority.
The PF government will strengthen existing institutions with legal framework and desist from creating ad hoc bodies.
