Can we focus on the economy. The power crisis, inflation, exchange rates, unemployment etc. I propose that government removes VAT on zambian produced food and food products to ease the cost of leaving. These guys gave the rich mine owners massive tax incentives on their first quarter in government. Surely they can offer respite for their own citizens. I also propose tax incentives for zambian owned businesses so that we retain our forex in country unlike foreigners who externalise everything they make.

There’s no need for this nonsensical calls. The longer one stays in Parliament the more experience they gain.

Let us also factor in the possibility that, considering the kleptomaniac nature of our leaders, the final term would be the term for stealing as much as possible rather than deliver as much as possible.

Zambia is very corrupt and term limits will make it worse because they know that they won’t get another chance so they’ll steal for the future as well. Do MPs bring about development in their constituencies? NO. Their role has been reduced to buying coffins for the poor and beer for the unemployed youth. Some even fear to visit their constituencies because people camp at their homes and offices to seek favours. Cry my beloved country

It is therefore time to try new things including reducing the parliamentary term limits. Let us continously try new things until we get to the promised land. Experiments are part of life.

That would be progressive. What if find a good guy like Bally, when not keep him for another ten years??? Look at what Kagame has achieved.
