Zambian democracy breeds political jokers

The number of political parties continues increasing in the country, as everybody is beginning to feel that they are presidential material, the price that my beloved country is paying for choosing democracy, as its system of governance. Ironically, she has been producing more useless, hopeless and talkative politicians allegedly with presidential ambitious than the required technocrats to service the country’s wheels of development. Truly, Zambia deserves better than the counterfeit leadership in the name of upholding values of democracy without risking our beliefs in the philosophy of governing ourselves. I must confess that our political landscape is filthy and optimistic that history does not repeat itself in seeing our democracy breeding political jokers like those of the yester-years such as Chama Chakomboka. Maybe, the emergency of newest political parties: republican progressive party under the headship of comrade James Lukuku and that of Mike Mulongoti dubbed people’s party is seemingly the resurrection of Chakomboka. It’s clear that democracy in our description, as a people is elusive.
