Many of the senior politicians in Zambia have forgotten the oaths they took as servants of the people. It boggles the mind when you have sitting MP’s being convicted of
criminal felony but still not able on principle to resign their positions let alone their political parties still allowing them to remain members of their parties. This rot goes
right through the whole political establishment whether ruling or opposition party. As the country goes to the polls next year it is important we understand the source
of the current polarised status of Zambian politics in order to develop a strategy that fully incorporates this understanding while at the same time lays the foundation
for ordinary citizens to participate fully in the creation of a truly multi-party democratic state in Zambia.
