FORMER Republican vice-president Lieutenant General Christon Tembo (above) has said he is pondering on requests by many people asking him to return to active politics. In an interview yesterday, Lt Gen Tembo said he had no difficulties returning to active politics although this was something one should think about seriously.

“I have no difficulties coming back. At the same time, I’ve got to read the situation in the country. What do these political leaders think? I haven’t concluded yet but as at now, I know I have been approached by so many,” Lt Gen Tembo said. “So I have been approached to reconsider the decision. I want to do it properly...to think about it fully. At the same time I don’t want to disappoint the people. I think let me do a proper assessment.”

And commenting on what he thought was lacking in terms of leadership in the nation, Lt Gen Tembo said there was little attention being paid to the common man in the country. He said Zambians deserved more than what they have been able to get in terms of development.
