WHY SATA IS READY AND WILL BE A SMARTER PRESIDENT FOR ZAMBIA

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 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

READY TO LEAD ZAMBIA

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.

PF leader Micheal Sata: So presidential as he addressed PF Mayors from CB and LSK

PF leader Michael Sata addressed a meeting with mayors from PF-controlled councils on the Copperbelt and Lusaka provinces to discuss issues of development and service delivery.

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

Exodus Begins from MMD in preps for Election 2011.

Just when you think the MMD 's house in now under control, another big loss from the ruling government. Former FORMER gender minister Patricia Mulasikwanda saturday resigned from the MMD to join the pact through UPND. 

Who is next?

ZAMBIA 2011 ELECTIONS...CHANGE IS COMING

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.
