Lately, a lot has been said and written about one Christopher Mundia; the able Legal Advisor to President Hichilema. Many of us would indeed attest that the deeds of Bo Mundia are a proper personification of the attributes of a good leader…..the gentleman is compassionate, very humble, and absolutely generous.
It’s quite disappointing that many of those that seek public office either as Presidents, Cabinet Ministers, Members of Parliament, Mayors, Councilors and Presidential advisors lamentably fail to meet this description!
The 2026 general elections are once again flickering on the horizon; very soon, we shall see individuals of different shades and hues aspiring as Presidents, Members of Parliament, Mayors or Councilors climb down their high horses and assume the role of ‘Santa Claus’ – become very generous all of a sudden when they’ve been eating alone all the while! You’ll see them traversing the breadth and width of our country handing-out crispy clean Bank notes to every Jim and Jack, attending each and every funeral in the neighborhood in their quest to buy coffins and donate foodstuffs or even host alcohol drinking sprees in the townships. And our people will fall for it…..what irony!
Alas, once they get whatever they wanted, they’d vanish from the face of the earth in thin air like methylated spirit and effectively resort to their snobbish ways – ducking phone calls, cruising around the townships in SUVs with tinted windows and simply neglecting to interact with the masses.
Bo Mundia isn’t the one to be blinded by the privileges of power! All this time, he has remained true to himself. Despite hobnobbing with the President on a daily basis, he remains humble and down to earth. Every day, hundreds of people – widows, grandparents, the disabled etc trek to his house daily in search of answers to their problems and challenges! Are they turned away at the gate by the menacing gun-totting Paras? Does he slam his door on their faces? Zero!
He welcomes them with open arms and offers them audience. And he’s not the one to ignore your phone calls, and if he’s busy; surely, he’ll return your calls whenever it’s convenient for him.
Why are we saying all this?
We need more of the caliber of Bo Mundia in public offices as Presidents, MPs, Mayors or Councilors, Permanent Secretaries or even as Presidential aides! We expect expect everyone aspiring for such offices to remain and humble down to earth……ever ready to mingle and eat with the masses no matter what the circumstances. If someone isn’t ready to support widows and orphans, can’t provide care to the sick or aged, then they’re in the wrong place….they don’t deserve to occupy offices as politicians or civil servants!
We are able to say all these things because we were once the beneficiaries of Bo Mundia’s utmost generosity. When we lost our mother sometime this year; we reached out to a number of people within the corridors of power. Bo Mundia is the only that responded to our SOS by sending us a message if condolences and even meeting us at the point of our need.
Bo Mundia is surely following into the footsteps of President Hichilema who has inspired many of us by undertaking charity work and, of course, supporting orphans and vulnerable children in universities and colleges from his days in the corporate world, to the difficult days in the opposition through to occupying State House, today!
Since everyone is clamouring about ‘fresh blood’ assuming the reins of power today, bo Mundia would be one of the best candidate. He would do wonders if given a chance! President Hichilema must consider nominating him as MP in the next government and further appoint him as Minister of Justice. Succession planning is very cardinal in politics; bo Mundia is one individual who would never let the President down in whatever assignment he would be considered.
In conclusion, we’d like to caution envious and jealous individuals within the corridors of power that neglect to eat with the people not to start trying to pull bo Mundia down. Salute!
