Police raid George Kunda’s farm, recover various items
Former Vice President George Kunda
Police in Serenje have recovered various assorted items from former Vice President George Kunda’s farm in Serenje.
The recovery is part of the on going investigation of plunder of national resources.
Among the items that have been recovered included 46 bags of Mealie Meal, two sewing Machines, 10 cycle pumps.
Central Province Commissioner of Police SOLOMON JERE said the items were recovered this morning after an operation.
Dr JERE said other items recovered include MMD campaign materials and three vehicles which he said were recovered from Kabwe.
He also said a light canter has also been recovered from MMD Chisamba MP MOSES MUTETEKA.
But when contacted for a comment Mr KUNDA said he deserves some respect from the Police because he served as a commander of the armed forces, including the police themselves.
Mr KUNDA also said he enjoyed some immunity as he at times acted as President of Zambia and described the recovery as mere persecution.

This is nolonger interesting…46 bags of mealie meal is plunder? and somebody was Attoney General as well as Justice minister before becoming Veep.
The question is why would you have 46 bags of mealie meal in one house
This happened at the farm.What if GK bought this for use by farm workers and were stored as inventory?
were is that word again? Witch hunt?
But again if that is what has been recovered it sounds stupid now
I think the whole thing is becoming comical.
So this motherf=#@!!ker thinks he is above the law??? This recovery should have been done months ago and we would not have been subjected to all the nonsense coming out of the wrong hole.
Kunda will now lose his parliamentary seat as the evidence is there for all to see. After that, a long term in jail will make him sober up from all those ARVs
this is too much i agree how can you find 46 bags of milie meal and you call this corruption some one who is very respected and wealth as george kunda even me a student can buy 46 bags of milie meal and you wil call that corruption any its not abt fight against coruption now its just targeting some individuals bcoz of wt they did to you and not as a nation,lets make zambia a better place for everyone dont force some pepo tp run away from their wn country
My dear I have always mentioned about policies and professionalism in Zambia. Can you say that if I buy 46 bags of mealie meal then it is corruption? I think we need to rethink and probably advise the PF to relook at the real issues we need tackled. We need a good constitution, employment and a lot of many other important policy issues that we have always dreamt about. PF, I think just work for us to attain an excellent democratic country. I know I don’t like GK reasoning and the way he cleverly changes posts but that should not mean to say I have to victimise him
Really!! Who buys 46 bags of mealie meal with good intentions of consuming it. FYI, plunder of Government resources can be a penny..
46 bags of Mealie Meal, two sewing Machines, 10 cycle pumps………………yall call this plunder of national resources.Is Zambia that poor that having those farm items can be considered plunder? Honestly this is so disrespecting to the former VEEP.Why grab campaign materials?
46 bags of mealie meal and two sawing machines, national plunder? My foot!
PF, you are a disgraced bunch of guys! Even my me I can afford to buy 46 bags of mealie meal. We need developmenta programs, not what you are doing
I personally dont like kunda but there is need for law and order in a country.Thats more of animal behavior than human..sometimes i wonder if there are stil people with brains in leadership…its really backward thinking considering the fact that the police delegation leader in this mission is a Dr of theology who has rather chosen to be used a muppet. Wasted years of education
are we serious and there even people who support this on this blog?
Kunda dont tell lies. You have NEVER served as the Commander in Chief . Even when you acted as President, you were not Commander in Chief. That is why the Service Chiefs were not at hand to accord you this status. Instead they sent their deputies to recieve or send you off at the Airport!
The cost of sending cops to his farm is more than the value of items they recovered – may b cops were looking something else .., Let us be serious with REAL corruption fight. And, me thought the country was in celebration period, such raids are on cease fire :)
Are you suggesting that thieves should not be arrested during celebrations.
There is need for the police to be level headed otherwise such “tantrums” makes them look very foolish and unprofessional. Fimo kuti waunfwafye insoni. Can you call those non assets plunder of national resources?
Ati pulandaaah……LoL! Sata wants a veteran lawyer and leader of Hon Kunda’s stature to fail to buy 46 bags of ubunga and basic things. Sata is embarrassing himself. What a legion of clueless hunters of vanity we have in power.
“RECOVERED?”
My grand mother has more than 46 bags of millie meal what a joke! They even call it operation..oh oh it gets better..they even took mmd campaign material..lol! And do what with it? Give it to pf supporters?
si vintu, this is now rubbish
WoW!!! A few bags of maize meal recovered from a farm. This is excellent work PF — well done!
By this time tomorrow the economy will will bounce back to life and we’ll move to a developed country. Who knew it was this simple to develop this country.
That sly Kunda, how could keep those 46 bags to himself.
Great job PF, this recovery of 46 bags will pay for all those very fruitful COIs that you are so good at initiating.
Great job, keep it up.
I love my Zambia: 46 bags of mealie meal, campaign materials, 10 bicycle pumps and 3 second-hand light trucks all valued at less than US $ 10 000 is “plunder”. How much did it cost for the police to “recover” these items in terms of allowances, fuel, searching, travel?
yaba Nyokola Njala ba silikale thats why the they confisiscated the maize meal.
so wait a minute if you ever worked in government and you own property. the pf government can come and seize it anytime?
anyone with a canter ,a sewing machine and 46 bags of meali meal should avail themselves to the task force immediately for national blunder! lol what a circus!
The truth is that they though they will find Billion on kunda farm. Next they will ve confiscating Chicken and Goats Ha aha ha
What madness is this.You don’t have any one to attack nolo shani? Ubunga 46 ati plunder.Mwachila nomba
This doesnt make sense, 46 bags of mealie meal and you call it corruption,even a simple villager can have more than that, surely Kunda deserves some respect, he acted as President…This is nw personal
So what are you gonna do with 46 bags of mealie meal, I mean mealie meal, not maize? Save it as exhibit for the trial in June 2013? Kunda was surely gonna give that to his workers or villagers, now they gonna starve. And PF is supposed to be the people’s party, my foot!!!
This is very serious although it sounds comical. Look guys, this presidential venom and hatred is eating away at the container.
MANDELA IS A HERO BECAUSE OF FORGIVING AND FORGETING.
When will these morons begin to govern kanshi? Almost five months and we have no development agenda, no policy direction, no tangible achievements to show for our vote. The nation is coasting on auto pilot from what the previous government left for us, maize bumper harvest, healthy foreign reserves, national budget, strategic fuel reserves etc etc.
A former President of France has resently been charged and convicted in a court of law, is Mr George Kunda telling the Zambian people that he is untouchable just because the people allowed him to serve as commander of police?
As usual we are being treated to Mr Kunda’s shallow thinking. No wonder Mr Sata would not think of him for representation as a defence lawyer.
they should have dug the whole farm. money is hidden there.
Why do we have men and women in jail for stealing one loaf of bread? What is the difference, is it about politics or justice?
I am very sure your IQ is less than 100, and so I understand your line of reasoning.
Serves him right. But it’s evident they weren’t going to find anything as all MMD plunders have hidden the loot long ago.
DO A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS
PF is a boat of dry bones without basic logical thought capacity. Definitely Hon Kunda cannot fail to buy 46 bags of ubunga for his employees which i do myself on investment in Lusaka West. Just do a cost benefit analysis, you will see that after those bags go to waste by the time the case is cleared, Government will have spent 10 times more on storage and compensation for the damage to Hon Kunda for this malice besides replacing the stock. This is total drivel at worst clueless people can do.
Are these guys serious? this is now stupid.seriously.
Who has complained against theft of ubunga to Hon Kunda? If a nobody like myself can manage to feed my entire village what more a veteran lawyer in Zambia?
More popcorns please…
@gundixits also about respect for the legal system and not abusing government resources to go on useless witch hunts! if they government is having a hard time proving that the 2 billion found in liato’s farm was aquired through corrupt practises you think they can prove that a lawyer and former vice president stole 46 bags of meali meali and 2 sewing machines?
this is like acussing a school teacher of stealing chalk and a board duster!
pf should stop overwheleming the judiciary with useless cases , and only go after someone if they have tangible evidence and they are sure they can get a conviction! the man is a lawyer in cab easily prove he has so many sources of income and could hace aquired this property though many other means!
Ba PF please be careful ,the Zambia of today is so united and double edged sword like.
See how they got rid of mmd and see the unity of the Zambia nation team.
U came by stones u can go by stones.
Yaba. Waht next? Court action over 46 bags of mealie meal found on a farm? Awe sure, as farmers, we sometimes use bags of mealie meal as ‘pay’ for piece workers on the farm. Atase, this is stupid witchhunt. stupid IG and foolish sata
They went to Thandiwe Banda father’s farm off Kitwe-Ndola road with 25 Security Men all the way from Lusaka and they only found a Tool-Shed with two bags of fertilizer and hoes for ploughing. The farm has no house as the father lives in Kitwe.
Kunda has a lot of workers every farming season and he keeps a lot of relatives at his farm. 25 Bags of meal mill is nothing. Shame on you PF.
Why should get suprised @ this when big pipo in companies and GRZ have been fired after an impromptu audit has been carried out only to discover that a Senior official “dipped into the till” to use the money and say nkabwesha. Surely what is not yours is not yours! dont look @ the status of some1 maybe the items were bot using GRZ cash. Zedians never cease to amaze me. That why some lunatics were saying that USD500,000 FTJ was accused of stealing is nothing! since he was once a president. Ask an American A Dollar is Dollar! Bill Gates can never give you a $1,000 if begged from him the man who has $50 billion fortune coz he knows the value of money.
There’s a saying that those who God wants to destroy, he first makes them mad. King Cobby and his goons need to take a chill pill. 46 bags of mealie meal and 2 sewing machines is plunder? Lord help our fcked up country!!!
This is now vey embarassing by this so called experimental govt. Our brother Jere’s nmae is being tainted by Satan. Bushe kwena takuli ko fimbi ifyakucita ifingafwa abantu muno chalo cabu pina? wrong president wrong IG wrong everything. Shame
CN SOMEONE ADVISE THESE CRIMINALS TO STOP HARSSING INNOCENT PEOPLE?
Interesting indeed!
Pathetic Front Buffoon.cronies masquerading as ******.
Can the police stop this nonsense we want to focus on football.You are spoiling the mood.
We should all start buying tu pamela because its considered plunder to buy bags of mealie meal if you live on a farm.
More money in our pockets!
This madness should stop. Sata should arrest Mutembo Nchito. We know that he collected departure fees from passengers at the airport. That money belongs to the people of Zambia. Where is the money Mr. Sata and Mutembo Nchito.????
Ba buju mwatuna guys. 1200 bicycles sounds more like it. Not rotten bags of ubunga bwakuchigayo……..Get serious Dr Jere and find us something in the region of K2.1bn burried somewhere
I don’t like George Kunda but this is ridiculous.
if you have no respect for 1 dollar then u will die poor period
No words! Must be embarrassing to the police.
I know members of the British Parliament serving prison sentences for fiddling expences as little as £2000. This is a Country with a Bugdet 1000 times bigger than that of Zambia. It is odd to have 46 bags of mealie meal and I am sure the investigative wings have reasons to do so. This are the same operations that the resulted in capturing Liato’s stash
The other guy at CSO used to fill the whole Canter to distribute to his family…and now poor Kunda, because of his red lips…
Police can you plaese concentrate on more high crime happening in that country than follow a sick man like kunda.Hope you didnt misplace is medicine during you search pantu talale utulo lelo.
Mr. jere, please form a taskforce like the one in northern province so that you are advised properly which cases to follow and not this one.No,no,no please.46 bags of maize meal,not impressive.Ask Mwamba from kasama he will give you proper advice.
#8 r u on RVAs as well or u r small thief.46 bags of mealie meal?? Does he have a SHop at his Farm?
Inga some 1000JILIJILI(Jills) from # 8 that has been disocvered?
#59 I must have not been paying attention when the law was passed which stated that you could not have 46 bags of mealie meal unless you have a shop. On that basis, Kunda should be imprisoned with hard labour!
Respect is earned not demanded so if people are not respecting you, go figure!
Goalie … Does the Zambian Constitution say you cannot have 46 bags of maize flour. In rural areas most people will work for Maize Flour, Sugar, Salt, Cooking, Blankets.
Sata cannot understand, he has never farmed and has no idea what it takes to have a national bumper harvest. I miss my “Chipata Ngoni Chimbuya” Sir RB.
Hmmmm….. plunder or blunder?
Still, what can you expect from a president who declared his sole worldly possessions to be 7 guns, a Toyota, and some shares in a cement company? Kunda’s 42 bags of mealie meal, sewing machines, and bicycle pumps must be a source of jealous outrage.
THE MAN IS SICK !!
Give the man a break! If a student can afford to buy 46 bags of mealie meal, 2 sewing machines, 10 bicycle pumps and a few used cars, why wouldn’t a former VP afford to buy all that? These charges have no base at all and do not qualify as a base for investigation for the so called plunder of national resources.
Pr 17:26 To impose a fine on the innocent is not right, or to flog the noble for their integrity.
De 27:25 ”Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.” All the people shall say, “Amen!”
Ex 23:7 Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and those in the right, for I will not acquit the guilty.
Pr 29:10 The bloodthirsty hate the blameless, and they seek the life of the upright.
george kunda runs a law firm and in 2010 his law was given almost 6billion kwacha for the case they won in the highcourt.Can he surely fail to buy 46 bags of mealea meal and for that matter at the farm.Wait GBM runs business also in 2016 are they going to get the bugs of mealea meal from his miiling comapany.Very soon we shall here that even those who are keeping chickens will be arrested.We are now back to UNIP days.shame na shame the late Mainza Chona we remember you this.MSRIP.
na dabwa mudala red lips,
This is bullshit! how do you call 46 bags of maize four as national plunder by someone who was vice president and owns a law firm ?I think ba Dr police comissioner wasted time in school he was just schooled not educated there people like that, shame on you fi Pf.
Kunda, “ACTED” doesn’t mean YOU WERE PRESIDENT!! With all the education behind you , you still can’t tell the difference??? Go back to primary school for more english lessons!!!
Pathetic and waste of tax payers money to call this as plunder of national resources. I take this is at his farm and it is not far fetched that the 46 bags of mealie meal found at his house is actually produced from his farm. Police must exercise restraint in how they report such cases and minimise playing to the gallery all the time – this is ma rubbish
I do not agree on many issues George Kunda yaps, but he deserves respect. You are now embassing the ruling party. Police can you have respect the former VP. You talking about 46 bags of maize meal and two sewing machines and one light truck at a farm that Hon. George Kunda plundered the nation. George can afford more than that. And you call that plunder. Police, you are embassing us. Act professionally and do it silently until you have enough evidence. What a waste of resources and manpower hours for such an operation. why not go after the people who stole with our late president Chiluba and big fish in the current government and MMD who stole than wasting time on” poor people like George”. Have respect.
[-(
A share waste of time and our money
awe mwandi mankani yenangu niyachabechabe.
“But when contacted for a comment Mr KUNDA said he deserves some respect from the Police because he served as a commander of the armed forces, including the police themselves”. I tell you what George fimo fimo – the same police you were sending to arrest your opposers, the same police you and RB are today calling silly are the same police pursuing you. Ba Zed anything connected to plunder even if it is one grain of rice it will confiscated…lol
Hon Kunda, please as a man of Gog forgive them for unnecessarily persecuting you and your family. The Lord is there and all this will come to pass. Dr. Malama can you and your team get serious and stop harassing innocent Zambians
Central Province Commissioner of Police SOLOMON JERE should take a long breath and sigh and then seriously speculate on the impact of associating himself with PF’s insanity. Amwizyo Jere Tekanyani Ng’anga imusangeni. Reflect on your Christian principles. Dr. Jere should look around to discover that colleagues at his level work under stress for promoting a system of harrassment on innocent people. Sata’s life span is very short as God’s Hand will soon prevail to save this nation.
Dr. Jere; a true witch doctor indeed! I kept maize from my field translating into 100 x 25kg bags of mealie meal. Arrest me also. Kunda, a veteran ‘witch doctor’, can be pursued for more serious crimes other than what witch doctor Jere has revealed. Presido Sata, please fire Witch Dr. Jere. He is tarnishing the nation’s image.
Among the items that have been recovered included 46 bags of Mealie Meal, two sewing Machines, 10 cycle pumps. THIS IS CRAP. IF HON. KUNDA HAS WORKERS ON THE FARM TO FEED WHAT IS 46 BAGS OF MEALIE MEAL TO TALK ABOUT? TWO SEWING MACHINES AT WHAT VALUE and is their value beyond the means of Hon Kunda? 10 cycle pumps very basic equipment used on a farm. Again what is the value? Is that value beyond the means of Hon.Kunda. THIS IS BEING PETTY AND REFLECTS POORLY ON THE POLICE AND CORRUPTION CRUSADE.
What happened to Dora Siliya? Ronnie Shikapwasha? The Cobra at work!
Do you need any further evidence of a “Witchhunt” ?
46 bags of roller meal costs about 2,000,000 and these ****** of police went to get it as plunder I can even afford 200 bags 2day. Circus
Its either Zed is full of thieves or just don’t value what we gat. One teaspoon of sugar that aint yours aint yours even if you are bill gates! Awe naiwe u can’t support such,if the police followed it up n all the man could do is demand respect that should worry u. But no u just want to yap pf has failed this n that. Awe!
