Question For Lusaka
If a public car park is used or offered without open bidding and a private individual collecting Council Revenue without authority, is that politics or corruption?
FACTS: • Corruption is not only stealing money
- It includes using council land without legal authority
- Public assets must follow open procedures
THE REAL PROBLEM: • Elites and cadres capture council assets
- Council is pressured and later blamed
- Services suffer, citizens pay the price.
Ba Lusaka, YOU need to see through the noise.
We need clear systems that protect public assets.
Demand systems that serve common good . That’s real development.
