AGITATING for change and ousting so-called undemocratic regimes may be easy but ensuring that the so-called democratic forces will indeed be democratic and bring about the needed change is something else. There are already increasing fears that there could be a split within the MMD with strong reports that a pressure group within the movement called the Caucus for National Unity might turn into a fully-fledged political party. The CNU includes senior members of President Frederick Chiluba’s government like: Akashambatwa Lewanika, Minister of Technical Education; Ludwug Sondashi, Minister of Labour; Humprey Mulemba, Minister of Mines; Arthur Wina, Minister of Education; Daniel Lisulo, former Prime Minister; Baldwin Nkumbula, Youth Minister; and lawyer Edward Shamwana. There are also complaints over the awarding of lucrative contracts to companies in which some government leaders have interests. These include a K4 billion road rehabilitation project on the Mposhi-Chingola road subcontracted to Apollo Enterprise whose chairman is State House chief-of-staff, Alex Chikwanda; and a US$460 000 contract for a computer network awarded to SNCR Africa in which a deputy minister, Dean Mungomba, has an interest.
