I have no such time; I\u2019m very busy. All I do is express my political rights by commenting on governance issues. Moreover, if ECL had a minute to listen to what I use to write, he would have been saved from some embarrassment he carries on his face today after listening misguided individuals.

If you believe he was a good man and accomplished wonders, that was your luck, and you can stand by his side. Moreover, coming from a career background focused on history, writing about him is crucial to remind every genuine Zambian of our roots, so they can compare what they have now to what they had two years ago. In development studies, history is fundamental.<\/p>\n
