MR PRESIDENT: ZAMBIANS CALL FOR 2011 CHANGE IS NOT ABOUT RB BUT ENTIRE MMD POLICIES SINCE 1991.

Is it too early to judge President Rupiah's performance? Of course it is, and was correctly said by the First Lady Mrs. Thandiwe Banda who cautioned Zambians to be more patience with the Rupiah's government.

But the fact of the matter, Mr President, the call for change is not about you.

Zambians' anger and frustration is directed at all years of MMD government. MMD was voted into office to perform people's business, not to work for MMD carders. To many voters, 2011 elections is now a referendum on the MMD.

Mr President, you do not deserve the all the blame for the failure of MMD policies. You were just called to serve in a party whose policies are failed to create opportunities for Zambians.

Mr. President, Zambians are now tired of politicians who promises much but delivers nothing. Those around you 24/7 may not be telling reality of the voters. Mr. President, things look bad for MMD in 2011, just as it got worse for UNIP in 1991.

And yes, i agree with you, no insults against anyone serving in public office especially for the President.

Zambians are angry and frustrated with the entire failing MMD policies. And worse people still do not know if MMD is ready to bring new solutions to the complex issues we face. Same old policy solutions are not just not working.

Mr President, the Auditors General new report detailing massive financial irregularies in several government ministries is just shocking and more reason for public frustration. The report has once confirmed and raised more concerns on the readiness and competency of MMD to govern again.

Right now, Mr President, Zambians who voted for you feel betrayed by your party which campaigned to fight corruption. Mr President, why is that most corruption cases in Zambia involve persons associated or appointed by MMD leadership?

Failure to act on corruption has taught lesson for Zambians: that MMD policies has once again proven itself to be weak, soft and incompete to fight corruption.

Mr President, your government is not listening to the very people who put you in office. The New Deal government worked hard so that mining investors contribute fair taxes which you abandoned.

Today, Mr President, Zambians feel that the MMD party is not strong enough to stand up to investors. Zambia needs a strong government that will deal with foreign investors and demand a fair pay of taxes and enforce labor and environmental laws.

Mr President, no party has a monopoly on investor confidence. As long resources and labor available, investors will stay. So MMD must stop fearmongering that under UPND/PF government, investors will go. The fact is investors are in Zambia to make profits regardless of who is in the State House.

Mr President, Zambians no longer trust the MMD party to be real representatives of the wishes of the people. MMD has abandoned it own promises to be a government accountable to the people of Zambia.

Mr President, as the battle for election 2011 gains momentum, Zambians deserve to hear how the your MMD party will offer new solutions on agriculture, social security for the disabled, elderly, and homeless children, education, fuel shortages, create jobs, stop expanding the national debt, prevent lusaka floods, fight corruption, stop Zesco blackouts and improve the aging hospitals and roads
