No,the team will NOT validate the self assesment report.How could that be when zed was one of 3 african countries named last year in a UN report to have failed in several areas?(with war ravaged DRC) Even the east africa magazine said you were 12th.You’ve already failed on governance by refusing abuse of office clause.

“He has urged the team to be objective as it prepares the country review report.” Why pre-empty their assessments If indeed Zambia has made steady progress in all the four areas that will be assessed?.
just accept things that are good even though you don’t like the man. these are quickly becoming standards in africa. all we need to do is to strengthen them and make them free from political manipulation. saying no to everything is not the way to go.
