We ‘the people' are not a problem and have never been a problem but have always been victims of circumstances. The problem facing the country now lies on uncouth corrupt politicians who during election campaigns come out with all sorts of false promises accompanied with 'dangling' vijisenti, t-shirts, kangas, bicycles, motorcycles, and even madebe ya pombe and kilos of sugar/salt to lure poor voters who in the end ‘sell' their votes because of a few hours or days relief from their hardships.
What I believe in is how best those people out there can be reached, educated and get convinced to realize how time and again they have been cheated and misled to elect unworthy leaders. I wish, during election campaigns we could have a ‘counter-squad' of activists that would go from towns to the remote villages of our country to reveal and educate voters about the vain promises, the magnitude of corruption and the heartlessness of our politicians at the expense of a better life for the poor of this country.
I believe what we need now is to have new ‘freedom fighters' to redeem this country from the yokes of a corrupt regime.
