Zambian politics - What Next?

It was in the year 1991, more than two decades of the rule of one party system in Zambia. I may have been young to fully understand what exactly was going on politically. I remember the excited face of my grandfather prior to the elections that would see the longest reigning president removed from power. Dr. Kenneth David Kaunda. Zambians across all ethnicities joined hands and Kaunda's Motto "One Zambia, One Nation" was to put to taste and it passed. Tongas, Lozis, Bembas, Nyanjas, Luvales, Kaondes and Kalundas all joined hands and voted Kaunda out. Frederick Chiluba was voted in. That was supposed to be the beggining of better things for Zambia but somewhat, somewhere along the way, things stated to look otherwise. in 1996, general elections were held and these turned out to be very contraversial. Many cried faul as most believed the man that had won was not the man that was sworn as President. By that time, my brains had developed to levels where I could understand basic politics. Our epople had gotten it all wrong in 1991 by voting Chiluba for President. It was the beginning of the many bad things to come. From then on, we have come to see the rule or law diminish. The judiciary ceased being an institution and became an agency o9f the ruling elite. The police became compromised and nolonger served the public to maintain peace and order but rather became a tool for the rulling party to harrass those that dared talk and tell the truth. It became even worse when after ten constitutional years of being president (two terms) a few people advised Chiluba to stand for a third term. Thankfully (to God), this idea never materialised. Chiluba appointed Mwanawasa Levy SC (the late; MHSRIP). Mwanawasa became president later and undoubtably, the best that Zambia ever had despite having his own issues. The Appointment of Chiluba, led to those that were close to Chiluba form their own parties as they felt betrayed. Michael Sata, a cabinet minister in the Chiluba government formed his Patriotic Front (PF) party (obne of the strongest opposition party to present), Edith Nawakwi formed hers, Miyanda formed his Heritage Party. This was the begging of confusion in the whole political scene in Zambia. After Mwanawasa was elected president, he embarked on a task to fight corruption and did this without boundaries nor favors. He fought for the removal of Chiluba's immunity and took him to court in order for him to pay the many millions of Dollars he stole from the zambian people. What is rather ironic is, George Kunda, now Vice president, was in the forefront in taking Chiluba to courts in London. He was convinced the man was guilty and surely, he was found guilty (Chiluba) in the London Courts. On the other hand, as the Mwanawasa government was suing Chiluba, Sata publicly told the zambian people that all that was politically motivated. He even went to an extent of saying he would acquit Chiluba once voted into power. As a result of this, Chiluba even went to the heights of campaigning for sata in the general election that Sata lost and saw the ushering of Mwanawasa into office for the second term and last. Unfortunately, Mwanawasa died before completing his mandate. His Vice President, Rupiah Banda became acting President until elections were held following Mwanawasa's death. Rupiah won and became President. Rupiah had his own agenda other than that promised of contuing thwe Mwanawasa legacy. Which is fine I guess. George Kunda became Vice President of the republic. Soon after the ushering of Rupiah into office, the Chiluba case was closed in court as he was found innocent of the abuse of office charges and walked to freedom. Remember, Kunda was in the forefront now saying Chiluba was innocent. On the other hand, Sata was upset that Chiluba was let free despite his earlier promise he would let him free. Can these two people be trusted? Sata and Kunda, who would say this today and the opposite tomorrow? What really is the future of our country politically?
