As Master of Ceremonies at the launch of the National Movement Against Corruption (NAMAC), the most embarrassing moment came when I had to ask President Mwanawasa to sign the integrity pledge. A few minutes earlier, I had received a note from among the organisers reminding me about the pledge. Time came when I took up the floor. With much hesitation, I asked the audience to raise their hands if they were of the idea the President committed himself on paper about corruption.
