PART 1:
INTRODUCTION
Today, more than ever before, our country needs to set goals
and generate policies that are comprehensive, radical and
realistic enough to significantly overhaul its socio-economic
system so that it can adequately meet the current and future
needs of its people. Such goals and policies should constitute
our beloved country’s national agenda in the 21st century.
Good news, fellow Zambians! We, in the Agenda for Change
(AfC) party, have generated such an agenda, and have studied
—and will continue to study—the extent to which the
government can be re-organized and streamlined in order to
free enough tax-payer funds to finance the pursuit of our
country’s long-term goals and aspirations.
The agenda constitutes our covenant with all our fellow
Zambian citizens—in Central Province, Copperbelt Province,
Eastern Province, Luapula Province, Lusaka Province, Northern
Province, North-Western Province, Southern Province, and
Western Province.
Fellow Zambians, there is no time to waste on politicking;
we have a lot of work to do in order to redeem our Motherland
from the current state of decay and backwardness. And we
need to get down to work now rather than later!
(a) All human beings are born free and equal in dignity,
freedoms and rights, and no individual should be denied
any of the rights and freedoms enshrined in the
Zambian constitution, and the rights and freedoms
stipulated in both the United Nation’s Universal Declara-
tion of Human Rights and the African Union’s African
Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights;
(b) Leaders are servants of the people and should, as such,
serve the people in a diligent, honest and equitable
manner;
(c) Leaders have a moral obligation to create a Government
that is smaller, more frugal, highly decentralized, and
more responsive to the development needs of our
country;
(d) Leaders have a duty to create a socio-economic environ-
ment in which business undertakings can generate
goods and services to meet the changing needs and
expectations of our people at lower costs and prices;
(e) The national Government needs to spearhead the crea-
tion of a socio-economic environment in which ethnic,
Page 5 of 190
cultural, racial, and religious diversity is appreciated,
tolerated and celebrated;
(f) Local authorities and the national Government need to
create a socio-economic environment in which
burglaries, robberies, vandalism, and other criminal
activities can be efficiently and effectively put under
control;
(g) Leaders need to create a society that is compassionate,
peace-loving, virtuous, and steadfastly united;
(h) The national Government and local authorities need to
exercise greater environmental stewardship by seriously
considering the fragile natural environment in both the
generation and implementation of socio-economic
policies; and
(i) Our national Government needs to work hand in hand
with other governments worldwide in creating a more
humane, more affluent, more egalitarian, and more
peaceful global community.
The Agenda for Change will make an earnest effort to avail our
country the kinds of leaders it needs in an era of democratiza-
tion, globalization, and knowledge-based economic manage-
ment; that is, leaders who are:
Page 6 of 190
governmental leadership positions doing nothing more than
sitting idly in their offices, fattening themselves, and drawing
hefty salaries from the public treasury for goofing off.
We also have individuals who have been shunted from one
government ministry to another as Ministers without the basic
knowledge and understanding of the core functions and
rationales of the ministries involved. Besides, the political
landscape is littered with the so-called seasoned politicians
who are extensively experienced in castigating, discrediting
and demonizing other politicians who may have dissenting
views.
Mr. David Saviye, quoted by Mukula Mukula in October
2001 in a Zambia Daily Mail article, summed up the ineptness
of such politicians as follows: “Most politicians ... [have] held
strategic positions in government through which they would
have delivered what they [may] now ... [promise to deliver].”
Clearly, the kinds of leaders I have just described have no-
thing new to offer to our country because their extensive
experience in generating and nurturing socio-economic decay
and stagnation is detrimental to our quest for heightened and
sustained socio-economic development. They represent an era
that should have passed long before now – an era charac-
terized by idol-worshipping, and an era in which the rewards of
labor are largely measured in terms of one's willingness to lick
the shoes of those who wield power rather than competence
and excellence.
If we truly love our country, and if we are really serious
about redeeming it from its current state of decay and back-
wardness, we need to renounce our interest in inept leaders by
denying them our precious votes – even if they attempt to use
the massive wealth they might have corruptly accumulated to
buy our votes in a deliberate attempt to hold on to power so
that they can continue to safeguard their selfish interests. After
all, the “electability” of an individual to public office needs to
be based largely on the viability and progressiveness of his or
her contemplated national programs.
So my fellow citizens, the question to ask about a candidate
is not whether he or she has prior experience in politics or
government. Rather, it is to ask whether he or she will support
the provision of free life-saving medical care, free education up
to Grade 12 at least, greater food security, rural electrification,
clean water, lower taxes and interest rates, greater safety and
security in our communities, political and economic
empowerment, and so forth.
After all, the following attribution of much of Africa’s plight
Page 7 of 190
to incompetent leadership by the late Mwalimu Julius Nyerere
of Tanzania (in his speech delivered at the Conference on
Governance in Africa held in Addis Ababa in March 1998) does
not exclude our country at all: “[W]e cannot avoid the fact that
a lot of our problems in Africa arise from bad governance.”
Page 9 of 190
the creation of the Central Committee (a somewhat
parallel structure to the National Assembly) and the
position of Prime Minister that followed the
introduction of a one-party State in 1972
contributed greatly to the misappropriation of
public resources.
Other examples of the mismanagement of
national resources in the country include the
following: the creation of sinecures like the position
of District Commissioner, unnecessary expansion of
ministerial and deputy ministerial positions,
excessive number and staffing of the country’s
foreign missions, the recommendation by the
National Constitutional Conference (NCC) to
increase the size of the National Assembly from
158 to 280 members, procurement of the over-
priced hearses and the controversial mobile
hospitals, and the excessive and costly foreign trips
by the Republican president.
(d) National Service Program: The compulsory
recruitment of Grade 12 students to undergo
military training and engage in agricultural
production activities between 1975 and 1980 at
Zambia National Service (ZNS) camps (as
mandated by ZNS Act No. 121 of 1972) contributed
to the draining of public coffers. A lot of money was
wasted on ZNS personnel, the construction of
facilities to accommodate Grade 12 graduates,
payments of stipends to the graduates, and on
procurements of food, uniforms, semi-automatic
rifles (SARs), and live ammunition and blanks for
training purposes.
(e) Postponement of Adjustment: The postponement
of macro-economic adjustment by the United
National Independence Party (UNIP) government on
May 1, 1987—which would have enabled us to crea-
te a competitive and more productive socio-
economic system—exacerbated the socio-economic
problems facing the country.
(f) Cost-Sharing Schemes: The introduction of cost-
sharing arrangements in the dispensation of
educational and healthcare services during the late
Page 10 of 190
1980s has continued to make education and
healthcare less accessible to a lot of citizens. The
unprecedented numbers of street children and the
lower life expectancy obtaining in the country
today bear witness to this fact.
(g) Socialist Policies: UNIP’s socialist policies barred
both local and foreign private investors from
certain commercial and industrial sectors of the
country's economy and recommended the creation
of state companies to operate in such sectors of the
economy from the late 1960s to 1991. The policies
—which former president, Dr. Kenneth D. Kaunda,
promulgated through his April 1968, August 1969
and November 1970 speeches to the UNIP National
Council—ushered in an era of state enterprises.
Naturally, the monopolistic position enjoyed by
state companies in the country’s economy
culminated in complacence and gross inefficiency
because, in the absence of competition, they
apparently found it unnecessary to seek innovative
ways and means of improving the quality and qua-
ntity of their product offerings. The rampant
commodity shortages which the country experie-
nced during the late 1970s and the 1980s were
largely a direct result of the socialist policies of the
government of the day.
PART 2:
A PEOPLE’S GOVERNMENT COMETH!
Page 15 of 190
2.1.4 Trade and Investment:
Provincial governments shall not regulate inter-province
trade or investment, nor charge duties on commodities sold
across provincial borders.
The Act also provides for any member of the general public
to file a complaint with the Chief Justice concerning any
Cabinet Minister, Deputy Minister or Member of the National
Assembly suspected of contravening the Act; a tribunal is then
appointed by the Chief Justice, consisting of members who
have held high judicial office.
The tribunal so constituted has to conduct its inquiry in
public, which augurs well for transparency. The tribunal may,
after due inquiry, make such recommendations as to adminis-
trative actions, criminal prosecutions or other further actions to
be taken as it determines fit.
In addition to the enforcement of the code of conduct, we
shall require all educational and training institutions in the
country to provide basic ethics education by incorporating a
topic on ethical and professional conduct in selected core
subjects or courses. Such a measure is certainly in the public
interest because “to educate a [person] ... in mind and not in
morals,” as the late Theodore Roosevelt of the United States
once warned, “is to educate a menace to society.”
In all, corruption, as The Post newspaper has advised
African legislators in an article entitled “African Leaders and
the Fight against Corruption” of August 11, 2005, “can only be
fought resolutely and relentlessly by people who are free from
it.” In the Agenda for Change (AfC) party, we shall relentlessly
seek leaders with a high sense of morals and probity,
demonstrated through their previous positions.

Savings to Be Made:
By reducing the number of Cabinet Ministers, Deputy
Ministers and Permanent Secretaries for the current 23
government Ministries to 10 Ministries, Zambia would make
the following savings:
Innovation in Government:
We shall create a government that will do more with less by
fostering a climate of innovation and creativity among
government employees. Among other things, we shall encour-
age each and every employee on government payroll to suggest
new ideas which shall result in reduced operational and mainte-
nance costs, improved quality of public services, improved
administrative efficiency, and greater levels of performance.
Some of the viable initiatives which we shall introduce in this
regard include the following:
Urgent Matters:
Page 32 of 190
1) Expenditure: We shall provide for an allocation of at least
15% of the national budget to the Ministry of Education,
Training and Sport. At a National Council for Catholic Youth
(NCCY) meeting in Lusaka in October 2001, Brother John
Meade, Head of the Education Department of the Catholic
Secretariat, provided a good reason for the provision of free
education in Zambia, which may be paraphrased thus:
Page 37 of 190
12) The Swahili Language: The adoption of Kiswahili as the
African Union’s working language—officially announced by
Mozambique’s Joaquim Chissano in July 2004—poses an
additional challenge in the provision of education.
We, therefore, need to provide adequately for classes
designed to teach the Swahili language at educational
institutions nationwide. We need to do so in order to equip our
people with the language skills they will need in their business
and non-business pursuits across the African Union.
And it is perhaps not too early to start learning the
language with the following Swahili interpretation (provided by
Eric Otieno of Kenya and Hassan Wardere of Somalia) of the
paragraph above:
14) Sport and Recreation: “All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy,” an anonymous and time-honored maxim tells us.
Page 38 of 190
Physicians, for example, usually recommend sporting activities
as being essential to good health. Management specialists,
too, usually advise that one takes some kind of sport or
physical exercise as a remedy for tension and an antidote for
stress. Besides, sporting activities provide increased stamina,
mental alertness, and an enhanced feeling of well-being.
We shall, therefore, promote sporting programs at all
educational and training institutions. Also, we shall promote
private investments in the local manufacture of sporting goods
for track and field, soccer, basketball, netball, tennis, and
badminton, among other sporting activities.

continuing to live beyond our means as a nation, and per-
petually misusing our meager productive resources.
However, our people’s well-being during the structural
adjustment process is of paramount importance. Therefore, we
cannot afford to subject the people to illiteracy, ill-health and
starvation in the name of future development. After all, mean-
ingful socio-economic development cannot be attained in an
economy where the labor force is composed of sickly, illiterate
and starving citizens.
Article 25(1) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
provides for governmental responsibility over the socio-eco-
nomic well-being of citizens which the IMF and the World Bank
cannot override:
Urgent Matters:
Our country is in dire need of a sound industrial and trade
strategy to facilitate the attainment of important national
objectives, including the generation of high-paying manufac-
turing jobs, shifting of resources from the production of
primary commodities (whose prices in foreign markets are
generally very low and unstable) to the production of the more
profitable manufactured goods, creation of forward and back-
ward linkages in the national economy, and spurring indigeno-
us-based innovative capacity and technological development.
We shall pursue prudent and viable measures that will
propel the Zambian economy to sustained prosperity through
the attainment of each of the foregoing goals and aspirations.
Page 54 of 190
A national government’s relevance in matters of commerce
and industry, we believe, lies in its ability to nurture the
creation of new, innovative businesses, and to create socio-
economic conditions that are conducive to the long-term
success and survival of such businesses.
Page 57 of 190
the Government has now decided to promote in its export
drive. Let us consider the pros and cons of these two
strategies.
Page 61 of 190
i) Cause dislocations in our country’s balance of pay-
ments (BOPs), particularly if they externalize large sums
of money either scrupulously or through transfer pricing;
(a) Create more jobs through lower taxes and interest rates
designed to induce investments, savings and
consumption in order to make job seekers less
vulnerable to employers of casual workers.
(b) Provide for low-interest loans to small business
prospectors through the Zambia Development Agency
(ZDA) to lessen the over-reliance by Zambians on
employment in corporations.
(c) Reduce the costs borne by companies in providing for
fringe benefits to their full-time employees through free
life-saving healthcare for all Zambians, government-
financed low-cost housing schemes, and improvements
in social security and unemployment benefits. And
(d) Ensure that labor-related laws and regulations are not
flouted by employers.
12) ZNFU, ZAM, ZFCCI, AND EAC: The Agenda for Change
government shall seek the active involvement of the Zambia
National Farmers Union (ZNFU), Zambian Association of
Manufacturers (ZAM), the Zambia Federation of Chambers of
Commerce and Industry (ZFCCI), and the Economic Association
of Zambia (EAZ) in the provision of decision inputs pertaining
to commercial and industrial matters. The Minister for Com-
merce and Industry shall be expected to liaise with representa-
tives of these organizations at the beginning of his/her tenure
of office to outline the modalities for their involvement in this
endeavor.
Page 65 of 190
15) The Zambia Development Agency: The Zambia
Development Agency (ZDA) came into effect on January 1,
2007 following the merging of the Zambia Privatisation
Agency, the Zambia Investment Centre, the Export Board of
Zambia, the Zambia Export Processing Zones Authority, and
the Small Enterprises Development Board. This was in
accordance with the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) Act
No 11 of 2006.
The ZDA’s main aim is to foster economic development
through a whole-Zambia strategic view that will increase
investment and trade levels across the whole country.
Page 66 of 190
2) Important Considerations.—In all, the necessity for
equitable (fair) taxes, a transparent taxation system and
publication of public accounts, an efficient tax-collection
system (under the aegis of the Zambia Revenue Authority),
budgetary stringency, and enforceable limits on budget deficits
and public borrowing (as a percentage of GNP, for example)
cannot be overemphasized.
With respect to “equity,” we shall insist on the introduction
of “proportional” taxes so that all taxpayers in a given
category or classification can contribute a fixed percentage of
their incomes (e.g., 15% for individual income earners) to the
public treasury—in which case high-income earners would still
generally pay larger amounts of income tax than low-income
earners.
“Progressive” taxes (currently levied in Zambia) that
require high-income earners to contribute a higher percentage
of their incomes to the public treasury are not equitable.
“Regressive” taxes, which require high-income earners to
contribute a lower percentage of their incomes to the public
treasury, are equally unfair.
Measurable Targets:
Let us now consider a few specifics regarding some of the
measurable aspects of our contemplated economic policies.
We aim to achieve the following objectives by means of simple,
practical approaches cited in various parts of this Manifesto:
Page 68 of 190
ii) Supply-induced inflation: This is caused by the
following: high costs of production due to costly inputs
and/or inefficient suppliers (cost-push inflation), and/or
inadequate aggregate supply due to slack capacity
utilization (production below potential capacity) and/or
inadequate numbers of suppliers of essential
commodities in a country’s economy.
Page 70 of 190
security companies and provincial and municipal governments.
Urgent Matters:
Page 71 of 190
4) Strategic Public Installations: We shall provide for para-
military presence at, and/or regular patrols of, unsecured
strategic installations like public water works in major urban
centers, major electrical power stations, and major airports in
order to thwart any potential acts of sabotage by our country’s
enemies. Also, we shall seek the enactment of strict legislation
and ordinances against trespassing at strategic public installa-
tions.
Urgent Matters:
Page 74 of 190
(a) Carry out routine and emergency maintenance of public
roads through its employees or independent contractors.
(b) Recommend to the Minister of Works and Supply the
appointment of any person or institution as a road
authority.
(c) In consultation with the Road Fund Agency, recommend
to the Minister funding for development of new roads.
(d) In consultation with the Road Fund Agency, recommend
to the Minister funding for development of new roads.
(e) Review design standards and classification of road and
traffic signs. and
(f) Make recommendations in relation to the sitting of
buildings on roads-sides.
Urgent Matters:
Page 75 of 190
We shall create a new “Ministry of Lands and Public Housing,”
which shall incorporate all existing national public housing
programs, including the National Housing Authority (NHA). Its
mandate shall include the following functions:
(g) Any citizen who may wish to rent a public housing unit.
3) Squatter Compounds:
We shall prohibit forced relocation of squatter compounds
nationwide until: (a) low-cost public housing units are made
available through the Ministry of Lands and Public Housing;
and (b) site and service areas designated by local authorities
for re-settlement are furnished with running water, electricity,
public transportation routes and portals, and other essential
public services and facilities.
Urgent Matters:
Page 82 of 190
10) Gender-Related Issues: We shall seek to identify and add-
ress social, political and economic obstacles to women’s full
participation in the political and other development-related
affairs of our country. We strongly believe in what is implied by
the anonymous and age-old proverb “What is good for the
gander is also good for the goose.”
In this respect, we shall work hand in hand with national
and regional non-governmental organizations (NGOs) which
are designed to promote greater participation by women in all
facets of human endeavor at local, national and regional levels
in order to create a level-playing field for both men and
women.
The Minister for Culture and Community Services shall,
therefore, be expected to provide exceptional leadership in the
implementation of the National Gender Policy (NGP) adopted in
2000, and in bolstering the activities of both the Program for
the Advancement of Girls' Education (PAGE) and the Girls'
Education Movement (GEM).
11) The Youth, Zambia’s Future: The youth constitute our be-
loved country’s future. We shall, therefore, take the necessary
measures to create a conducive socio-economic environment
in which the youth shall be morally, physically, culturally,
intellectually, and technically enriched. Such measures shall
include:
Page 84 of 190
persons in the generation and implementation of
government policies that affect them.
15) The Place of Religion: The Agenda for Change shall genui-
nely recognize and safeguard each and every societal memb-
er’s freedom of worship, the freedom to choose one’s religion,
and the right to seek to be heard in governmental decision-
making, and to articulate one’s demands on the national
Government and other public institutions. At the community
and national levels, we shall expect the different religious
denominations in our country to function as eternal beacons
and unrelenting guardians of morality.
At the same time, we shall actively discourage, and request
Parliament to enact legislation against, the following in a
deliberate effort to forestall the potential disruption of public
order and socio-economic activities by cliques of fanatics from
any of our country’s religious denominations:

mation to Zambians in, or traveling to, foreign countries;
publicizing Zambian society abroad; and management of a
program which shall confer rare and special “Zambian

The Electoral Commission of Zambia was established by Article
76 of the Constitution of Zambia. It provides for the promulga-
tion of legislation to determine the composition and operations
of the Commission as per the Electoral Commission Act of
1996. The constitutionally mandated functions of the Commis-
sion are as follows: to supervise the registration of voters and
review the voters' registers, conduct the Presidential and
National Assembly Elections, and review the boundaries of the
Constituencies into which Zambia is divided for the purposes of
elections.
In addition to these constitutional functions, the Com-
mission is mandated to perform the following statutory funct-
ions: to supervise referendums as provided for by the Refer-
endum Act, conduct and supervise local government elections
as provided for by the Local Government Elections Act, and
formulate and review general electoral regulations and per-
form any other statutory function which the National Assembly
may assign to it.
PART 4:
OTHER CRUCIAL MATTERS
4.5.1 Maintain the Zambia Daily Mail under the auspices of the
planned Bureau of Statistics and Archives, and privatize all the
other print media operations over which it has control. And
In fact, even if animal cloning had not raised any moral and
ethical questions about the sanctity of human life, it would still
be utterly cruel and unacceptable to subject a cloned human
being to the health risks which have been detected in animals
that have been cloned so far—including developmental delays,
heart defects, lung problems, and malfunctioning immune sys-
tems.
PART 5:
BRACING FOR CHANGE
At this juncture, let us consider the need for each and every
patriotic Zambian to brace for change.
The late Harold Wilson, in his speech to the Consultative
Assembly of the Council of Europe in 1967, characterized
people who are inclined to resist this kind of change as “archi-
tect[s] of decay.” If there are any of such people in modern
Zambia, we believe they are very few indeed!
Change, as experience and observation have taught us, is a
fact of life; all living things must adapt to the demands of their
environments and their own stages of growth. History is full of
examples of plants and animals which have become extinct
because of their inability to change when it became necessary.
This fact of life applies to countries as well; if they cannot
change in order to align their goals, aspirations and develop-
ment strategies to the dictates of local, national, regional, and
global socio-economic conditions, therefore, they are not likely
succeed in improving their people's standards of living. And
our country is no exception!
But in spite of this obvious fact of life, we are all generally
and naturally resistant to change; the following paraphrased
observation made in 1514 by Niccolo Machiavelli, an Italian
political observer, succinctly depicts our nature in this regard:
5.2 Appropriateness:
Is the change the correct one, or are alternative change
programs likely to yield greater and more desirable end results
for our country and its people?

August 1953:
The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was created in
August 1953, consisting of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia),
Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and Nyasaland (now
Malawi). In opposition to the Federation, the late Harry
Mwaanga Nkumbula and his followers (including Kenneth David
Kaunda) formed the Northern Rhodesia African National
Congress (ANC), which was later banned (in 1959) and its
leaders imprisoned by British authorities.
