Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>When I saw the Times of Zambia front page story that \u201cHH Feels Let Down; Says Appointment of Ministers and Permanent Secretaries in his \u201cNew Dawn\u201d Government has so far not helped matters,\u201d on February 10, 2022, I made sense of his February 8, 2022 tweet, \u201c25.7 million is coming to your constituency. What will you do with that money? Please tell us.\u201d If one didn\u2019t know the sources of these statements, they could be misconstrued as misrepresentations of the President. Yet they came from HH.<\/p>\n

I am not surprised HH publicly stripped naked his own administration. His Cabinet and Permanent Secretaries his worshipers praised as the most competent, but I termed Salaula. It is the worst team one can pick aside from the fact that they shouted, \u201cBally will fix it,\u201d the loudest! If HH couldn\u2019t come up with the right team to help him govern, why should Zambians trust his judgment on policy issues?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one way to explain his disappointment; a disheveled President fleeing from his own ugly shadow. That tweet said it all. He doesn\u2019t have a comprehensive vision for the nation\u2013every Zambian must come up with his or her plan; and \u201cas the youth of Zambia say, Bally will pay.\u201d The same with his administration; it is all about his lugubrious egoism; so he must find someone to blame for his failing ideological programs.<\/p>\n

Bally worshipers are in sacred denial. Sympathy for their god, these strange beings lack as his Presidency hangs on the cliff. How would he dance forward without disappearing into the apocalyptic abyss from which no idol can escape? Is dancing the cursed dununa reverse his only way to save face from those of us who saw it coming as if diviners yet mortals? Alas. A solemn indictment of all merciless Bally worshipers with us\u2013their disappointed god has gotten it; the New Dark Regime\u2019s incompetence on PF blame not. Yet in the Baal Universe, Lungu to blame save that a self exculpatory confession a god finally made; \u201cI am not fixing it.\u201d But faithful worshipers proudly respond, \u201cBaal you are fixing it!\u201d<\/p>\n

It is important to note that the issue of this Dark Regime is bigger than the Cabinet and Permanent Secretaries; the President himself is the problem. Upon taking office, HH declared bogus ideological programs such as CDF, free education, boarding bursaries, and employment creation for teachers, nurses, doctors, and unemployed youths among many others, when he had zero knowledge about the logistics of government under workings. As President, he has limitless funds for these programs, but not a single experienced personnel to implement them. This is because these programs affect various Government Ministries\u2013that is they don\u2019t necessarily fall under one department of government. The President\u2019s pride and lack of consultations have created unnecessary bottlenecks and subjected these programs to delays, confusion, misuse and corruption. In the real world, for example, the Ministry of Education should have handled Secondary boarding Bursaries. Funds would have moved from the Treasury to the established and experienced education system. As arranged, however, the bursaries have to go from the Treasury to MPs, then to local authorities. People would then apply to local authorities, and once processed, the money will be sent to schools. Among local authorities, nobody is trained to process these transactions. In the end, HH created his own problem. A transaction that would have involved two Ministries ends up going through many different Ministries; duplicating the process unnecessarily. Nobody understands the system but HH\u2019s complex brain.<\/p>\n

The same with CDF. In his complex mind, Zambia\u2019s underdevelopment is due to lack of money\u2013the opposite is true. As Dambisa Moyo has shown, money alone does not grant development; strategic planning, project and market analysis, outcomes, and systems of project viability evaluation are engines of development. HH assumes that all Constituencies possess such skills, and that they have management experience and personnel to implement such projects. Moreover, needs differ from one community to the other; here the administration\u2019s guidance on how all Constituencies projects will add to the National Development PLAN should have come first. Sadly, the President expects Zambians to tell him what they need\u2013forgetting that in democratic nations, we speak through our MPs and Councilors. Parliament should have come up with exact guidelines on which activities and programs would be funded through CDF. Without guidelines, what would happen when people and elected officials disagree as to how this money should be used? And as with bursaries, which Ministry will have complete oversight of these Funds? The MPs would want to control the fund, but what is the role of local authorities? Will the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services, and the Ministry of Education have roles too? And what process would be used to ascertain which projects to fund? Nobody knows.<\/p>\n

Moreover, how would this money be divorced from political corruption\u2013that is MPs using these funds to ensure their own re-elections as opposed to serving all citizens. For instance, highly populated areas in one Constituency are likely to be developed over less populated ones for electoral reasons.<\/p>\n

But the cost may prove deadly to all those involved. Whereas UPND MPs will be shielded from accusations of misuse of public funds, Opposition MPs are likely to be arrested one after another. If I were an Opposition MP, I wouldn\u2019t be too excited. This is one route to Prison. But UPND MPs are only safe as long as HH is President. Thereafter, they will become devils of HH\u2019s making\u2013they will be arrested for misuse of Funds because Chimbwi had no plan. This is because most projects would fail due to lack of expertise and clear evaluation guidelines. More importantly, the money would pass through many hands before reaching intended audiences\u2013making it easy to steal!<\/p>\n

In short, the President own policies are buried in prideful ignorance engraved in his egoistic \u201cone man kantemba syndrome.\u201d The efficiency of every administration begins with the President\u2019s vision planted in truth and reality. Unfortunately, HH does not understand that leadership means carrying others with you. Had he spent time thinking through his programs, consulting with community leaders, Civil Society leaders, Opposition leaders, community development experts and of course, political historians, he would have realized that Presidential ideological programs are always wasteful. They are also gold mines for corruption. Fili uko tuya!<\/p>\n
