It is nice to be back in Zambia after two weeks that saw me travel to Germany, Denmark, England and Ireland. Snow, gray clouds, darkness and short nights in Europe have been replaced by bright sun, rain and uncontrolled floods because of lack of drainage system in Zambia. Carpets, gas heated rooms, warm showers, […]

The debate of 50%+1 currently before National Constitutional Conference (NCC) is one of the most regretful moments of this constitution making process. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of whether this nation shall have a constitution that begins with “We the people” or “We the government in power.” […]

The 29th December 2009 marked 18 years of Zambia as Christian Nation. Consequently, it was a shock to me when President Rupiah Banda challenged the church to unveil and explain clearly what the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation entails so that the general populace can clearly understand it. I was shocked because […]

There is something wrong with the way the justice system works in Zambia. How do you prosecute a theft case of $500,000 for eight years? Justice is not being served in our nation. We just heard of similar cases in UK of British MPs who were abusing parliamentary privileges. Their cases took weeks and those […]

The news that Lusaka lawyers, Mr. John Sangwa has lodged a complaint against the Chief Justice and the judge-in-charge with the Judicial Complaint Authority and Mr. Wynter Kabimba has alleged that the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ)) is being made into a circus and a tool for those in authority (Post Sunday 5, July) raises […]

The recent press conference at which President Rupiah Banda instructed the senior government officials to use government vehicles for the intended purpose; reduce on foreign travel; and hold government workshops in the ministry boardrooms as opposed to the current use of hotels and guesthouses should be welcome by all Zambians. What was missing in the […]

Something is not right.
Things just take a long time to get done in Zambia. The nurses and medical personnel are on strike as well as the teachers because the government promised salary increases have not been honoured. The donor countries are withholding their support to the Ministry of Health because of corruption. But who cares? […]
