        If china moves from soft power to hard there is no coming back from proxy entanglements.Expansionist policies are a trap. Thank God they are sticking to business and trade.

        President Edgar Lungu was acting out of desperation! Remedies have been tried elsewhere in a bid to transform police force without success. This malaise affects other institutions too such as lands officers, procurement managers, Govt clerks, etc. A blot!!
