We need change hope you are not one of the people benefiting from this stupid govt

Quote: “…..I forigive you for you do not know what you are talking about despite wasting a page and half. The issue is not about harmonising the manifestoes. the argument is: Why harmonise now? What if they agree to disagree? What has been guiding them in there operations upto this point? And many others which to a person like you do not make sense but they are serious and contentious issues?…..”

Sir, and your questions are contrary to my earlier posting in what way? I don’t need your forgiveness, Mr! What I wish you would do before attacking someone is try to comprehend what they have written. I thought my English was simple enough for anyone to get it. Alas not you, freeman fimo fimo!

Indulge me, let me again waste another page see if you get it this time:

1) If there are all these problems afflicting the PACT that Mr. Chizyuka is alluding to, when do you suppose is the right time for PF/UPND to iron these problems out before they become cancerous and deadly to the partnership?

2) Who do you wish should set the agenda for the PACT to do due diligence so that issues and areas of differences between the two parties are reconciled? Is it you and me? time? or PACT members themselves? If it is the PACT’s business to sort out their problems, well, apparently they have decided to deal with this issue now. And you and me should respect that.

3) What exactly is your understanding of the term HARMONIZATION? Because my earlier posting mainly argues this point. Unless you are suggesting to me that it makes sense for them to carry on business as usual despite the “…many [problems] which to a person like [me] do not make sense but they are serious and contentious issues…”(to borrow your words), then I suggest you reread my previous posting, maybe this time around you will be able to get my point.

4) The PACT just got formed not too long ago. And to come up with a common platform which both parties can live with and operate under once elected takes time and patience. They have to consult widely amongst their members and, the back-and-forth between them has to be mutual and respectful. So, if you ask: Why now? The answer is; why not now?

5) Harmonizing of manifestos, whether they did it yesterday, do it today, or tomorrow, does not mean the two Parties have to abandon their individual Party manifestos. All it means is that they come up with a common set of principles before the 2011 elections which they can then go out there and sale to the electorate (Zambian people)!! That is a very responsible thing to do if they expect anybody to take their “MARIAGE” (the PACT) seriously.

7) If they don’t do this, which manifesto do you prefer (PF or UPND) once these guys get lucky and win the elections next year? Don’t you think this is the right time for them to do this so you and I can have a chance to scrutinize what they intend to do (as a PACT) once elected? Am I wrong to assume that knowledge is power!

By the way, we both should be happy that we have enough “blog real estate” to waste here on ZW—-after all it is free of charge brother, LOL. Have a good one!!

Harmonization of the two party’s manifestos is the logical thing to do if PF and UPND are serious about forming the next govt as a PACT. So, what is wrong about that? Do you people expect these two Parties to be working from two different camps and principles when they form govt? Don’t you think that is a recipe for unnecessary confusion and disagreements between the two camps going forward? Like the article has stated, unless PF/UPND pact’s only interest is to kick the MMD out of power and not forming a functioning govt in 2011, then some of the criticism I read on here is justified. In that case they should continue working from separate sets of principles (and that’s what manifestos are), but in the end people will be able to see through the nonsense and the MMD will look like the MOST MATURE AND POLITICAL GENIUSES to ever governed Zambia.

Can you imagine the squabbles and in-fighting that would erupt if they (PACT) don’t agree on a set of common governing principles of the PACT and they get lucky to form the next govt?! Only a fool can not recognise that such a scenario would be a “ticking Bomb.” It is a scenario that would make MMD appear like it is composed of Angels. They (PF/UPND pact) should be applauded for thinking beyond the excitement of the moment and well ahead of the game. What they have embarked upon is what wise people do in anticipation of seen and unforeseen problems—-it is called POLITICAL MATURITY, people!!!

I am no Winter Kabimba, PF, or UPND sympathiser, but man! some bloggers on here have very shallow reasoning about what seems so straight forward an issue. If they (PF/UPND) don’t do this now, can someone suggest when is the good or right time to do it?! In every merger (Marriage, cooperate, social, economic, political, etc,) there is always harmonisation and compromising of positions that has to take place. Otherwise the merger wouldn’t work. Unless, of course, it is a “buy-out” of one by the other, or it is a “forced marriage”. An arrangement where one partner has no say in the whole affair. And it sounds like this is the mindset most of you “doo doo heads” criticising Kabimba have—-God have mercy!!!!!!!!!
