The Forum for Leadership Search Zambian (FLSZ) Chapter has called for the resignation and removal of Mutembo Nchito from the position of Public Prosecutor.

FLSZ Executive Director Edwin Lifwekelo said Mr. Nchito should resign on moral grounds adding that he cannot be prosecuting legal matters on behalf of the Zambian people when he was facing serious criminal allegations.

Mr. Lifwekelo said in a press release made available to ZANIS in Lusaka today, that Mr. Nchito cannot be expected to bring people to justice when he himself has been arraigned before processes that should bring him to justice.

He said in an event that Mr. Nchito chooses not to resign, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Mr. Chalwe Muchenga should immediately remove him from the position of Public Prosecutor.

The FLSZ Executive Director also said the Post newspapers should stop the mockery of these serious legal proceedings with its comments, Editorials and coverage.

He added that with the warn and caution theft by agent statements issued by Law Enforcement Agencies, the Post should cease to carry prejudicial and contemptuous comments relating to Zambian airways.

Mr. Lifwekelo further said now that the Managing Director of the Post Fred Mmembe was a suspect in the Zambian airways saga he should not be allowed to use the paper to attempt to exonerate himself and Mr. Nchito.

He added that the Law Enforcement Agencies must intensify processes that should help recover the US$ lost in the saga.

“We have also leant with interest the statement by the British High Commissioner to Zambia, Thomas Carter that Britain has spent over US$1billion,  500,000 million pounds in the last 5 years on the fight against corruption,” Mr. Lifwekelo said.

He said both the Zambian government and Mr. Carter should help the nation by disclosing how such a colossal amount of money was used for.

Mr. Lifwekelo also demanded for the forensic audit against corruption to cover both monies received from donors and the Zambian government.

He added that the audit should extend to the offshore account held in Britain called the Anti-Corruption Fund (ACP) adding that corruption has been on an increase in the country and that it needs to be curbed.

The FLSZ Executive Director added that so much resources have been misdirected to activities that did help to curb the vice.

  1. Here we go again. Another rotation. Today is sunday I will put my best part to rest and will comment tomorrow [-o<

  2. Mr Lifwekelo, I wish you could say the same on Dora Siliya that she should resign. I would surely take you to be a level-headed person and not a job seeker

  3. Lifwekelo wemwaume ala uleicindika! From your statement, it has made me think the def. of the word ‘morality’ has changed. How come you’ve always advocated for the resignation of Mutembo & Magande yet remained mute on Dora, George Kunda & Rupiah himself?

  4. Ba LT kindly bring the M`membe story in which he appeared before DEC’s anti-money laundering unit in connection with the money Zambian Airways owes National Airports Corporations.I believe that is more interesting than reading opinions from the same individuals.

  5. These two people are at it again! If it is morality we are talking about, there are a lot of sleazy characters in MMD who are still walking free. For instance Katele Kalumba. He is still one of MMD’s big shaker and mover, despite being accused of corruption.

  6. Zambian politics are still as childish as they ever were in the 1970s. These two are clearly ignorant people. They are driven by jelousy and ignorance. Zambians have given up trying to run proper businesses. Instead they are all running dodgy NGOs.

  7. So this Lifwekelo is still alive! With a name like that, no wonder he is the harbour from where all MMD vomit, excrement, spitum etc make land fall. In my days, such political scoundrels would end up with an assegai in the chest.

  8. How important is FLSZ and how significant is the role of it’s Director in this case for him to demand the resignation of Mr. Nchito? Why not wait for the judge’s decision?

  9. Mr Lifwekelo can help by carrying out a citizens’ arrest instead of making noise. He seems to have something to say about every other thing. The government knows that they have no case against ZA. By the way they have already reached a conclusion and they are just waiting for a lapse of time for this to due a natural death

  10. now that Mumba is ambassador to Canada, Lifwekelo is positioning himself for an ambassadorial appointment to Lealui.

  11. Just leave Mr Nchito M alone. The various investigative wings will prove whether he has been found wanting one the time comes if it will come.

    As of now, Mr M. Nchito is innocent until proven guilty. Thus the brother needs to continue carrying out his functions for now. All Zambian Citizens must give the invetigative agencies time to conclude their work professionally and amicably.

    Thus people like Mr Lifwekelo must relax and leave the POST to do what it likes as this is a free world. These are the fruits of having a working democracy in Zambia of which many countries on this Earth do not have.

    However, Mr Lifwekelo must continue to speak out as much as he can also freely.

  12. Amalabishi, people like Lifwe fimo fimo will set this country on fire.Where was he when people called for the resignation of Dora,prosecution of Kande Mabenga,RB and investigation of ako kanono ba Nevers and Dr Mwanaumo.Chiluba and RB loose pact seems to be working. But one thing is,they can kill or jail Mmembe but many Mmembes have been born today with much virulent.

  13. Uyu Munyamata Lifwechani, Alibe nzelu. Adya mahafu ya Chiluba manje afuna Mutembo achokepo. Whether Mutembo achokapo or iyaii, Chiluba azangena mu Hotela Chimbokaila. Mkazi wake anagena chifukwa cho getter mahafu na TV from Chiluba. Wina Azalila.

  14. Great Kalu, the match is at 19:30 hrs Zambian time. We ar ready to give you updates, but I do not know under which heading, whether the same one for Mutembo Nchito or sports but even under sport it is difficult to tell. Let LT give another topic where we can submit commentaries or bloggers can decide on their own

  15. Lifwekelo is a mercenary for hire. He is used by the intelligence and the MMD for what they call AGITPROP or agitation propaganda.

  16. That a good observation` although this should extend to every suspect in MMD too. Pipo read something sensible for a change. A book by our very own” damiso moyo”, ” Dead AID”. Why Aid has failed African countrie. It is a prescriptive perspective of the Banda, Nchito and the many rubbish that we see in our country-Zambia. Please read it!

  17. Investigations were initiated following complaints from members of the public, non-governmental organisations, Forum for Leadership Search and political parties into alleged financial irregularities of the airline that has suspended its operations.

    I came across this in the Sunday Mail. It is interesting how Lifwekelo’s organisation is separate from other NGOs.

  18. another bunch of losers on RBB’s payroll! they are so predictable… when they talk, its nonsense. RBB thinks he can use propaganda that was used decades ago… but this is 2009. People are educated and the world is one global village so we interact more with contemporary issues. All i can say is grow up … oh.. .they are already too old. Yaba! ok, retire!!

  19. that chap the brother to danny champion siulapwe he is just like that he his ever backing the sitting presidents he has no morals so is his party New Generation Party. i hope he has found a house to rent for himself rather feeding off from his younger brother…some leaders

  22. Lets talk about football now.Relax and forget about that Lifwekeke whatever his name.He doesnt even know what he is talking about.Zambia has drawn with Egypt 1-1 the game was of high quality.Am so happy for now no time to waste on Lifwekeke.

  23. Kenya will start exporting dairy products to Zambia, top officials of both states have said.

    Currently, the country earns over Sh10 billion in revenue from export of milk and its products.
    This will be among other benefits that the country stands to gain after a memorandum of understanding was signed at the close of the seventh joint commission forum last week.

    The two-day forum discussed on ways to enhance relations in agriculture and transport and communication between the two states.Zambian deputy foreign affairs minister Prof Fashion Phiri said this move was for the mutual benefit of the countries.” Nation Newspaper Kenya” Hasn’t our country failed to come to this level.

  24. #32 let LT be the one to give us news,or maybe u have become a journalist!! we appreciate your effort for the update but I must say that its out of the context…However thank and stay blessed!

  25. THIS LIFWE FIMO FIMO,ATI DIRECTOR FOR FORUM FOR LEADERSHIP SEARCH.WHO HAS GIVEN THEM THE DUTY TO SEARCH FOR LEADERS FOR ZAMBIANS.DOES HE MEAN ZAMBIANS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING LEADERS.HE IS ASKING FOR THE RESIGNATION OF MUTEMBO,WHAT ABOUT DORA “NULLITY” SILIYA ,KANDE AND CHI SHIKAPWASHA ON MORAL GROUNDS.
    SECOND,SIULAPWA TWAKWISHIBA KANSHI TAULAFWAYA NA PAKUSENDAMA.YANGU EEE.WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM SUCH *****S?

  26. Is this chap without hair on his head a PATIENT? have a closer view.. nowonder he does not want to GO to hell early, alone.

  27. Why can’t Dora and RB resign on the same moral ground? Has the so called moral ground ever worked among the Zambian politicians?

  28. Why should people like siulapwa and lifwe whatever he is called, talk about the removal of nchito to start with they have failed to run their parties and now what? My advise to them is if they want to join mmd they should just join no one can stop them

  29. I hope its true that grz ministers do read this blogg. If they were white (Caucasians) , they would be changing colours so many times due to shame and embarassement from these comments. Some of the bloggers who try to shift peoples attention & those who have too much detailed information on certyain topics are grz shushushu’s. We know them. Please know this that we are no longer interested in the trash from Lifwekelo. Why does he only target Muntembo Nchito & Membe? Whats in it for him? He is so obviusly an MMD stooge, just like Mike Zulu was during Chiluba’s time!

  30. Zambin watchdog have lost the plot. I was a big fan of their paper and had abandoned LT for them. Why on earth have they started charging? Anyway, LT, I am back with you my love…till death do us part

  31. Fellow bloggers am in a big problem,your help please.Of late am having frequent headaches and some sores on my private part. What could be the problem please am worried and scared.

  32. GUYS, IT IS ONLY RIGHT THAT NCHITO RESIGNS. WE MAY NOT LIKE THE MESSENGER BUT THERE IS LOGIC TO THIS. WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS SUBSTANCE IN THE CHARGES THE FACT IS YOU CANNOT HAVE A GUY PROSECUTING OTHER GUYS FOR THEFT WHILST HE HAS A CHARGE HANGING OVER HIM.

  33. IF THE POST NEWSPAPER DOES NOT MAKE IT THROUGH THIS SAGA! LT START PREPARING TO GO TO PRINT!! NATIONWIDE!! WE CAN’T SURVIVE WITHOUT A PRIVATE NEWSPAPER IN ZED!!

  34. Lusaka City, please go to any nearest Health Centre immediately. Your problem is FEAR of the UNKNOWN. Thus, you need to know what is really wrong with your body system and get treatment as soon as possible. Have a good day and remember to pray to the good Lord GOD for healing.

  35. Leave Nchito and Zambian airways for Zed law enforcement alone, im sick with all what this chap is praying for, you will never get it you Lifwe fwe fwe [-x

  36. Let all suspects prove themselves in a court of law. There should never be sacred cows when it comes to plunder of resources, whether one is a whistle blower or not.

  37. Lusaka City, you are welcome and all the very best. You have already done the first step which has been to ask for direction.

  38. Lifwekelo ne nsala ilemoneka panso………………………. Why is it that people like Lifwekelo think that they can go on wasting people’s time?

  39. It is a shame to have young men being used for selfish motives. These guys especially Siulapwa is a drunkard who has failed to run his party. Look at the hate they are portraying looking at them they are supposed to be handsome men but because of the filthy inside them they look like two witches……Leave Nchito alone!!!

  40. What about Dora? We know you are looking for a job. Too bad the last one was given to Nevers. Nothing has been proved against Nchito while process has started against Siliya yet you have not openned your mouth

  41. lifwekelo shud go back to the classroom,it appears each time you speak you are just vomiting rubbish.let Zambians who know issues talk about them, not you.

  42. M’membe should stop defending hmself in the newspapers but instead go to court and prove himself and that of Nchito innocent.There spokesperson SATA will one day turn against them.He has done that for Chiluba and facts are there for all to see.Please Mtembo,Dora and M’membe resign from your positions and face your charges FULLSTOP.

  43. Yaba nkani ya ba Likwetelo na Nshilaupwa!!! these chaps are poverty striken . If the are not carefull they will die. RB is not blind to offer jobs even to these clowns.

  44. Lifwefimofimo does not know government procedure. An employ can only be interdicted or suspended when he is formally arrested. These nchebe are just wasting our time.

  45. No. Public Procecutor is not an elected position requiring morality to hold, assuming for a moment that Mr Nchito’s moral standing has been compromised! His submissions in court are accepted or rejected by the court on their merit, rather than the personal character of the prosecutor. Let the man continue to do this job, unless you can show incompetence in his peformance.
    Resignations are required in situations where ones performance is compromised, or where trust is lost, and neither have been breached in Mr Nchitos work as public prosecutor.
