Task Force terminates contract of public prosecutor, Sebastian Zulu

Share

GOVERNMENT has with immediate effect terminated the services of Task Force on Corruption public prosecutor, Sebastian Zulu of Sebastian Zulu and company.

Mr Zulu confirmed in an interview yesterday that he received a letter of termination of his contract from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) last week
“Yes, I received the letter last week on Wednesday from the DPP terminating my contract as public prosecutor. So for any details, get in touch with the Director of Public Prosecution, Chalwe Mchenga,” he said.

Three private law firms were engaged as Task Force on Corruption public prosecutors.

The firms were MNB where defunct Zambian Airways chief executive officer Mutembo Nchito operates, Sambo Kayukwa and Sebastian Zulu and company.

The decision to drop Mr Sebastian Zulu and Company leaves MNB and Sambo Kayukwa to continue representing the Task Force on Corruption.

And when contacted for a comment Attorney General, Mumba Malila referred all queries to the Vice President George Kunda who was in a meeting.

Some members of the civil society have been calling for the resignation of Mr Nchito to allow for smooth investigation into the defunct Zambian Airways.
They argue that his stay at the Task Force on Corruption can frustrate investigations.

  1. They want when they terminate Mutembo’s contract no one suspects anything.when it comes to Nchito, they want us to believe that there’s nothing fishy

  2. Why not just disband the entire task force? It appears everyone in any kind of high office is corrupt. Even Road Boner will be investigated after office and the people investigating him will still be prosecuted by another regime to preserve ethical values as usual. It’s an endless chain of childish cat and mouse games. You have to either live the full dream of a democracy with all its values and ideals or abandon it completely. Apparently our young governments haven’t yet matured, we’re still living in half-democratic states where the president pursues the enemy instead of the law pursuing the wrong-doer.

  3. WHY REFER TO THE VICE PRESIDENT FOR COMENT,IS HE THE LAW ?THIS ALL ISSUE IS POLITICAL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN ISSUE A STATEMENT,LETS WAIT AND SEE BUT NCHITO STAND BY

  4. This is a red herring to go at Nchito. They want to say after all even other prosecutors are being dropped
