You can only manage to deceive a blind and deaf man. We know the truth.

The article has a lot of flows and most of the success attributed to Banda Bwezani were started in the late president era. Thanks that he was able to continue with those programmes and projects. I feel the author missed alot of Banda Bwezani misdeed in the one year he has been in office. The man has failed to provide the much needed leadership and there are lots of evidence to confirm that. Within MMD, the party is divided which is due to poor leadership. For instance, political violence of the Chiluba days is back and his rivalry with Satani of the PF has further worsen political violence. Awarding of an evaluation contract to RP on sell of Zamtel under closed doors is another sure way of perpetuating corruption and to whose benefit anyway. The political erana has gone to the dogs and the author can not tell me that Banda Bwezani has performed.The man is not a democrat.
The recession which hit mature economies should not be an issue but a lesson. Banda Bwezani can not say that he provided the much leadership to take us through the recession. The man did not institute a strong survival plan to cushion the recession but what we saw was him and cronies enjoying airborne trips at the expense of Zambians.
In short, Banda Bwezani has no plan for Zambia and his surviving on what was already started by the late president. Most projects i see in the country side are those initiated by the late president and he can not disband that. Bwana author, no matter what you say, i don’t what Banda Bwezani to rule me beyond 2011 election. MMD must find a suitable candidate for presidency and not Banda Bwezani.

I guess the writter has no clue on how to measure national leadership perforamnce. In the first place President Banda has never presented a simple structure of his vision i.e. what he wants to achieve by 2011. The first thing any leader does at any level is to give a roadmap of where he is going. Even if one is in office for one week he should state what he would do within that one week. To borrow Edith Nawakwi`s description, Rupiah Banda is a vey incompetent president whose leadership is propelled on tribal and regional alignments. The guy will go in history with shortest tenure of office and the worst president.

Over the one year that Mr Banda has been president, Zambians have had the time to assess character and personality. RB, as the President is fondly known, is a friendly and likeable person who loves people. I think the writer is an id107 who don’t know what the ohther hand is doing.Supporting blindly because of few blown envelops is BAD.I will remaind you this guy is stubon,selfish,arogant & doesn’t listern to any one including you. Sorry for the above copy and pest.
