The President in Zambia is a small god – Chaile

The President in Zambia is a small god and not answerable to anyone.

The fight against corruption is irrelevant as long as the President is shielded at state and can never summoned by anyone or parliament to answer on alleged corruption for himself.

The President only speak through his aids regardless of the gravity of the alleged corruption against him e.g the eswatini mansion scandal.

These has also made the opposition irrelevant in the political equation because opposition have no time to interact the Republican President on serious matters,like it is a case with the British and South Africa parliament.

The only thing the President does during the opening of paliament or National Assembly is to read a speech without any objection from anyone.

This mean that Zambia is under authoritarian type of rule where no one can question the integrity of the President and his loyalties. Hence there need to introduce a law that will give power to parliament to summon the President any time depending on the urgency of the matter raised .
