@FumanikileL@BuyoyaJonah They stopped alot of campaigns and it bothers me. We used to have "Abstinence ili che", "Condomise", "Say No To Drugs" "Don't Drink and Drive"
@bellamufazi Its exhausting that when we should be progressively thinking we think backwards. I remember having this conversation w/ someone when I decided my daughter would not sit for ECZ G9 because if they don't sit ECZ exams at grade 12 they wouldn't be president if they ever wanted to.
@marangdream No because that's a trap! The minute u speak out they see it as an invitation to prove the opposite. Keep your marriages away from social media bantase. Enjoy your spouses and family life away from demonic spirits
@KayomboKayongo@st_Patricks808 Enforcement is lacking where there are laws in place. Why the lack or weak enforcement? Because again public office is seen as "get rich quick scheme" nobody wants to enforce anything incase they too are caught they want leniency. A slap on the hand is as good as it gets.
@st_Patricks808@KayomboKayongo So much potential, which makes the state of our political environment so disorienting. So many vying for office yet so few actually carry the burden to improve the lives of the ordinary Zambian.
@KayomboKayongo@st_Patricks808 Lawmakers don't want stiffer laws and penalties when their sole desire for public office is to steal from the public. They will instead make laws to continue benefiting from public coffers long after they leave office.
Not one to be vulnerable. In fact it’s the exact opposite of every fiber of my constitution. But sometimes one has to let their guard down. That’s what this essay is.
Just me; and the bits of my journey I never talk about:

Unfortunately, politicians can’t stop misusing public resources. They can’t do it on their own. No matter how many PF officials you send to jail right now. Especially not when they’re convinced next year is a likely win for them. That’s why pursuing CURRENT looting is also key.
Our lack of accountability as a country is the start of a lot of our problems. We’re not accountable to our partners, our children, our friends, our employers, our employees. We love walking on eggshells. A simple, candid and respectful professional disagreement will warrant you an enemy in our country.
So now, we are talking about drug theft, but there’ll be no accountability. When I did the RTSA investigative report, some people were calling me, telling me that people’s jobs were at risk. No accountability.
Across many African capitals, we treat Singapore like a slogan, not a system. Everyone wants the Marina Bay skyline, but no one wants to do the decades of state reform, bureaucratic pruning, or policy discipline it took to get there. You cannot benchmark ambition on aesthetics. And yet, “Singapore of Africa” has become a mantra — recited by politicians who want authoritarian speed without institutional cost.
Singapore may inspire admiration, but China increasingly commands emulation. And while both are held up as examples of order and rapid development, their models are not interchangeable — and neither are their risks. We admire the outcomes without examining the foundations. This brings us to the question that cuts deeper: What kind of power does a rising China represent? And what happens to the world — particularly to Africa — if that power becomes normative?
