Rig This...

Rig This...

Time to make our final decision on the direction of Zambia has come. We have always stood up and shown a clear belief in doing the right thing and never gone to violence. I hope the blood that has been shed the past weeks will be the end of it all.

I have arrived safely in Zambia after years of staying away only coming to register and now to vote. I would like to thank all the people that kept me informed of the happenings and the few times that I came for business and even witnessed some political fights.

Now I have my final message on the issue of who to vote for. There are basically 2 candidates to think about for obvious reasons and your vote will make this work. Will anyone rig? Possibly... but we as a people decide if they rig or not. But the best way out is for us to rig the elections for ourselves. That way, we both happy and no blood will be spilt.

How can we rig? By working with only 2 candidates in the race. The riggers can only head in one direction if we decide. The worst possible rigging by the people is to allow the after-election rigging like in Egypt, Tunisia and please not Libya!

Our strategy:

1. Rupiah Banda: If we are confortable with the way things are going and will go, as believe me, we will get more of that when he wins. His children running campigns will need to be paid for their efforts. So more road contracts. More trips on GRZ budget, etc. So if we that kid of life. We put our vote on him. Then we can expect more of their people enjoying the fruits of our beloved country. Even ZNBC will be financed by us for his personal interests.
   
   But if our aim is to change government, our rigging takes some thinking.
   
2. Sata: He will get a higher vote than HH, probably even higher than RB. So your aim for change is better placed on him. HH will never beat Sata. Sata has a better following that HH and the others. He lost by 35,000 votes in the last elections. And that election included the sympathy vote and the other polictical parties who have since left his crew due to what we said was a bunch of lies and tricks. So are HH people still following the losing crew or will they put their vote where it matters the most? That would help tilt the balance. Moreover most people have fallen victim to the lies of MMD and its camp of de-facing Sata. To such extent that they have started believing what are straight lies. Who would in his own thinking be told PF brought in $45 million?? How can they do that? He was almost arrested for $2,000.00!!! What of $45,000,000.00? But look at the material MMD have used to print t-shirts, chitenges, caps, plates, billboards, Manda Hill bridge, etc. Not even Airtel can compete with such material, and yet they do it for business. I think MMD brought in more than $45million or they know how to use your money without asking you. How many have had their facebook accounts donated to MMD and RB's pocket??? How much has Airtel illegally given our privacy with MMD and RB smses? I got more MMD material lying about what they do than people used for their food and living in their homes!

Sorry but I think my mind is clear and will not be spoilt on HH again. My vote will not even be close to MMD (as I want them out and dead like UNIP). Actually they have now become totally UNIP and even carried over the blood shed. I out my vote for PF and Sata. I stand for change. And there, I expect change and not mere words. I have seen him work in Ministry of Health. UTH was far better in his time than any other time. Probably only beaten that day they built it. I have seen the MEZAF flats in Chilenje. I have seen the hospital he built. Now imagine him being the president and given a chance to build Zambia? Will not have this kid-stuff construction of roads that have sprung up with little care, done in a hurry in order to place an advert their "Your money at work", they should have correctly put it as "Your money being wasted" at least they would have been truthful!

So lets make our fight better than North Africa, by making it through the ballot. Vote for PF and Sata, vote for change and a better future for Zambia. Then we can go in and audit all the stolen money which is making them so desparate to win the election and hide their stealing. We can make them pay early and teach others a lesson for life. Not the same people who are supposed to make mines pay, get contracts with the mines and supply to them in such quantities they dare not make them pay taxes. Lets bring sanity to this country and make people respect working hard to get rewards that licking people's boots. Lets make MMD a closed chapter.

Thats how we can rig the election. Even if they rig the rural areas as people cannot really keep them in check, we can solidify Sata's lead by all of us voting for him and not any other person. A vote not placed on Sata is a vote placed on MMD - regardless of who takes it. Be it HH, Miyanda, and the other guys. All votes should be placed on Sata, then he will be assured of a lead. Forget alternatives. This is what has spoilt the votes in the past. Wake up Zambia and make your vote count for a change.

MMD Violence!!!

MMD has been caught on Camera with the words

"Bring buses we crash them!" has anyone recorded MUVI TV news? I want to upload it so the doubting Thomas-es can see for themselves. I will hunt for that.

Vote wisely vote PF and Sata

Failure to Plan is planning to fail

Problems of unplanned settlements

When you plan for something, you achieve it as you work your way on how it should be done and when it should be done and using which resources.

This is why to me planning forms a core to anything or project on embark on. I planned on what to say to my wife when I wanted her to be my girlfriend. I even planned how and when to get engaged, marry and have kids - if and only if, we are compatible from the start to the end. Therefore, I knew how to treat her. How to respect her as she was going to be the mother of my kids!

Now imagine how we messed this country. Chiluba came and got to be president without planning. He was surrounded by Zambia's cream in all sectors. The first 5 years were wonderful and only saw small mistakes. Then he felt the power and lost direction! Why? People around him may have planned, he never planned to rule so had no clue what ruling a country had in store for him! Result is the backward movement of this country from then. Just imagine if there was even a 50% planning (of the planning UNIP had in the 70s). With all those resources.

For RB its even worse! He was on the farm. You can do a small exercise and write down 10 things he was planning. If you are an upright person, ruling the country would be number 2000 on your list of just 10! He has no plan! Thats why he would do a road and put his face there "RB was here" ... oh sorry "Your money working". Which money? Did you ask me what I wanted to do with the money? I would never in my life choose that sub-standard re-dusting of the road, or mere painting it with tar! I want planned roads. Done with the most quality! Not this garbage from borrowed money. Commercial bank borrowing! For a so called economist! That's a shame. You crowd out the private sector which can use that money. You make future generations to pay the debt! Which economist would think so low! But that's the result of failure to plan!

This failure to plan has resulted in his sons taking over all businesses and even doing his adverts! I think we are a laughing stock of Africa. We need to find a leader that planned to rule. Because that alone makes him have a plan. All of the mines, how many are paying taxes?? Now imagine if a president compels them to pay what is due to the country and gets rid of this tax holiday on natural resources! How much can we be getting? How many roads would be constructed professionally and of quality? What would be the benefits?

These are the questions which make me move from the idea of thinking MMD will deliver anything for Zambia. I think looking at infrastructure and planning, UNIP was better. Now they plan on how they will rig the elections, defraud the Zambian people etc. And they do it well, but this will never develop Zambia or bring economic development. It will enrich a few connected to the powers that may be. How many of the chaps are on Facebook campaigning?? How many people do you see online with MMD "talk". Some of these are well known and a sudden change to support the powers they fought, is not shocking, its what money can do! They are selling the country for a few bucks to be online for two (2) months! What kind of future leaders are these! Desperation leads people to sell their soul. We have reached that stage in Zambia.



They have just turned Lusaka into an unplanned settlement!

I have only one vision. Not a perfect vision, but better than what is on the ground now. And believe me, I think anything better is better for me. I stand to proudly vote for PF and Sata as I think they have planned and I can see benefits from what they talk about. I don't want ZNBC, Daily Mail or Times of Zambia to get worse than the current state. I don't want to think of my country as a possible place I would live in. I want to plan on living here and educating my children here! MMD does not show me that. Infact they send all their children abroad and only come to get companies and milk the Zambian people of the little money they have. Shame!

Mining Tax

Do you know that so far only one mine pays tax?

Kanseshi is the only tax payer? The rest has received so much tax holiday from the government it will take a very long time to get anything from them. Remember the 1billion kwacha? That came from only one mine!

So how come they don't pay taxes? Why would people call for windfall taxes when there is not even taxes being paid. The whole middle-income country status is meaningless as the money if sent out to the money owners without even paying taxes!

We need to make these people pay. Better yet, if the government was interested in the country, it would have put in place legislation to make these mines bring the money into the country and then take profits. Right now, money coming back after sells is just to pay suppliers and workers. MMD and Rupiah Banda have sold the country for a song! We need to make them pay and vote in a government that will clean this up. Right now, the only possible choice is PF. I have turned to support them as I have seen this is the only way we will move them from power through the vote. Lets make sure or else we will only have a chance like our brothers in Tunisia, Egypt or Libya! HH and the rest are just vote spoilers!
