A day was coming when a Constable would order Kampyongo to remove his shoes and belt
NEWS that Honourable Stephen Kampyongo has been arrested, or that Honourable Joe Malanji and Davies Chama have spent nights in detention cells facing criminal charges is something that the Patriotic Front did not see happening in 100 years. If there is one political party that was so confident of winning elections and staying in power, it is the PF.

ISSUES: Christmas Season: A period of Hope and Joy!
We humans are made for continuous renewal, for faith in our ability to overcome our challenges, and for conviction in our capacity to change. It is not important how bad things may be, we are not allowed to permanently wallow in despondence, despair and hopelessness! We humans are born to be free. I love the expectant joy on the face of little children as they keep asking: “How far is Christmas?” They know even in the poorest home some rice,....
