WE ALL SHOULD AGREE THAT,ZAMBIA HAS HAD CROOKS AS LEADERS;WE SHALL JUDGE HH AFTER HIS REIGN AS CITIZENS.
His Excellency,President Dr.David Kenneth Bucizya Kaunda ruled Zambia for 27yrs,the time during which,over 90% of the population was stuck in illiteracy,yet came out a modest poor man.
His was service to his people.
He was supposed to be the most thieving man,because he built all the systems from scratch.
Had it been one of the previous leaders and politicians who was,at that time,everything this country has,would have been gone;apparently, previously, we have had politicians in the scramble for corruption;competing to steal!
Point at one infrastructural investment, Universities,industries etc that match those KK laid in the 60s,,70s,80s,today.
For me,I do not regret having KK as President for 27yrs;yes,he had his weaknesses, but,God used him to protect resources of this country at a time when its people were in deep coma of IGNORANCE,favourable niche for stealing.
Alas,KK opted for good usage!
Look at all the politicians we have had in subsequent years,who is and or came out poor?;majority of them built mansions,own(ed) estates!
Yet,the country has been dwindling to the poorest level while those in power have their families and bank accounts swell;then we as citizens clap for them when they give us droplets of little wealth from our own resources.
Without undermining the pain others went through during KK,surely,I have no shame to say,that man we buried at Embassy park even deserved his own burial site as he was not an ordinary president like others.
Surprisingly, ALL the thieves we have had over the years,were educated by KK for free;he did not know he was making to-be-looters.
Majority of times, we have had leaders who built very favourable system that allowed them and their technocrats to steal using established procurement systems.
We shall judge our current President after his time too,and this will determine whether,our nation will continue having perpetual shameless thieves.
May the current President reset our country to reclaim its normalcy or,even better!
We are tired of thieves please!
Thievery of political leaders we have had and their technocrats in previous regimes nauseates me.
Even ignoramuses aligned to those in power,consultants of tribal insults and junkies,have been accumulating wealth while those who truly ads value to our national coffers wallow in poverty.
Some Idiot,in 2021,even mocked highly specialized professionals while calling himself America 1;worshiping madness!
Our country had been reduced to a junky state;buyanga bwalo!
NB:I value services of previous presidents.it is my opinion that KK remains unmatched!
