A young Zambians view of Zambian politics

Here is my school of thoughts of Zambian politics in general.As we all know that success is not built on resentments, aggrieved feelings caused by a sense of having been badly treated and fear of unknown but, is built on moral courage, tact, enthusiasm and passionate interest including the eagerness of delivering on what the masses would want to see, and diplomacy.

I very much aware that, I’ll receive serious criticism from both the ruling and opposition party bloggers on this great site where neutral persons would wish to air their views.

Aggression is the focus of poor politics and aggression in the first instance is armed attack which violates a political opponent’s rights and in the most critical instance, is an armed attack which violates human rights of people to live in security and freedom.

Both the ruling and opposition parties have decided to turn the Zambian people as victims of political circumstances recently.Hence justice and state rights has been seriously violated. The minimally just societies have been seriously affected with selfish political characters from the ruling and opposition parties.

How politicians have affected ordinary Zambians

• The first thing that is affecting the neutral Zambians is their recognition in this nation due to political parties assuming ‘the above the law ‘supremacy and not allowing the citizen a peaceful life style.
• Second, is that people’s moral and legal rights have ceased due to a lost political sovereignty caused by an undistinguishable line between the ruling and opposition parties.Currently I do not know who is in the opposition, shame.
• Third, is the national integrity has seriously been violated left,right and center hence making it very difficult for the Zambian people to distinguish between fools and normal politicians.

In view of the aforesaid, the human rights theory on how society should be shaped is thinner, more inaccessible, and above all, more widely beneficial to rivalry doctrine on political legitimacy.[pullquote]national integrity has seriously been violated left,right and center hence making it very difficult for the Zambian people to distinguish between fools and normal politicians.[/pullquote].

It is thinner because, politicians focus only on the most elemental aspects of good personal gains, leaving everything above the baseline to disarray.
Human rights stand to benefit everyone but in Zambia people like GBM, HH, and other few characters overlook this aspect and violate us.

What form of politics is this were none of these fellows has respect for the Zambian communities?

Useless politics and the country is heading for doom should we fail to resolve this chaotic environment. The council of elders is seriously found wanting. Many of you might be thinking am crazy no am not but am referring to the so called House of chiefs to be the council of elders. These traditional leaders are actual doing nothing and are just busy posing as great thinkers of the nation when they are just seeing politicians taking our country backwards.

Therefore, if the chief cannot sit down the ruling and opposition parties and harmonize things, then let them not be receiving a salary for just moving
around in tax payers vehicles.

In fact they should be no minister looking after these chiefs because they are more matured and can simply decide on their own if they want
to contribute to the development of the nation.
