Corruption in Zambia: Is it Inevitable? Can We Stop it?

So what new can possibly be said about this topic of corruption in Zambia? Haven’t we already heard more than enough about the topic? And really, what difference does yet another paper make on the presence of corruption in Zambia today? Well, these are questions that kept coming to me the past few days as I was finalising my presentation here this evening at the joint Alliance Française-JCTR lecture programme. (Maybe they were questions coming to you also!) Indeed, I was even tempted to switch to another more fresh topic, or else give up altogether. Well, of course I couldn’t do that, so here I am, making an effort to provoke some good discussion this evening, and some strong action tomorrow!
