United Party for National development president Hakainde Hichilema has challenged Judge Lovemore Chikopa to stop abusing Zambia’s tax payers money and go back to Malawi.
Speaking at a press briefing today Mr Hichilema accused Judge Chikopa of being appointed to lead a tribunal to probe some high court judges because he is related to president Sata and benefiting from plunder of the nation’s resources.
He said the Judge should go back and sort out cases in his own country as his stay in the country is a cost to the public.
He said Judge Chikopa has been living a luxurious life at the expense of poor Zambians and that the money which is being used to keep him in the country can be served or used to buy ARVs which have run out again.
He appealed to the moral conscious of Judge Chikopa saying: “the judge should use his moral conscious and return to his country were he can help sort out cases.”
Judge Chikopa was appointed by republican president Michael Sata to head a tribunal to probe three high Judges for professional misconduct but the judges blocked the proceeding through an appeal in the supreme court.
Mr Hichilema further advised president Sata to stop appointing tribunals that did not produce any tangible results and concentrate on ensuring that food prices and other commodities are reduced so that people can afford to live a decent life.
The UPND president called on republican president to make reducing of the cost of living his priority.
Mr Hichilema said it is a painful realization to many Zambians that the things they voted for, among them cheaper cost of living, have not been fulfilled almost 3years after the PF took over office.
He said the high cost of living which people in the country are experiencing can be avoided if the president Sata lead government can prioritize and channel their efforts towards certain areas of the economy such as creation of employment for the youths and improving the farmer input support program among other things.
He observed that families in the country can not be having one meal a day if good leadership was put in office.
Meanwhile Mr Hichilema has called on people in the country to unity for a common purpose and ensure that the ruling Patriotic Front is removed from office in 2016.
He said too many things have gone wrong in the country due to the poor leadership and governance style of the president and his PF government.
He said people can not continue to suffer in a country that has so much natural resources which can be used to uplift their living standards.
He questioned why food prices should be high when the country is endowed with almost 23percent of the fresh water in Southern African region which he said is under utilized.
He said with good leadership the natural resources of the country can be used to improve the quality of life of the people in the country as well as create wealth for the country.
Your own people re straving , why don’t u start from their.
Thats is Sata’s job, unless you want southern province to be an independent state then yes HH would not tolerate that to happen. Besides that would have been possible if all the tax revenue collected in Southern Province remains there for elected officials to utilise.
You are agreeing that Sata and his PF are not up to the job and they should be removed soon.
All the money Chikopa is being paid will be demanded from Sata because there is absolutely no justification why this dull lawyer is still here when in Malawi he is wanted for cash gate scandal.
Albert Chinyioma you are just an ***** in foreign mission because of Sata and you don’t deserve to be there because you aren’t even a civil servant so shut the fu*k up
I really feel sorry for Chikopa, because he has lost his job in Malawi as well. In fact Chikopa went to Zambia during Mutharika’s time. I am sure that Joyce Banda can’t accept a person who have been bathing with Sata.
These are the kaponyas hired by PF to launch social media campaign for them. You can see that they cannot compose more than one sentence.
Charity begins at home. He could have shown an example and not just yapping day and night without solutions. What are his MPs doing about it? What about the CDFs they are receiving, can’t they start outgrower schemes put food on the starving villagers?
To become a head of state is not about how many empty statements one gives to the hungry media but how one can convince electorates. small minds discuss people (Chikopa) while big minds discuss ideas (Chipimo)
Hmm chikopa is still around? ninshi nankwe chipubafye, all these months and you are still here doing what? oh, is it because you are now also implicated in some court cases? but still, achimwene, go back home!!! ninshi unyenga banani iwe? siumvela nyele? or does the zambian government transport your wife specifically for these activities yo nyenga? olo maybe ulechita ama h.u.l.e yapa breakpoint. dont bring diseases from malawi and infect ama h.u.l.e yesu yapa breakpoint!!! emo tupusukila fwebambi, mwibalwalika ama h.u.l.e yesu!!!
What a vain comment. I failed to comprehend everything. Some words are not in my vocabulary.
Zagaze you are wrong! Chikopa ali Champuka, IFIPUBA nifwe!
@nine chale, well i suggest you pick up a dictionary!!!! ninshi mwaba shani, tulemyeba nefya kuchita when you cant understand some things?!!! next time you will be asking us to show you ifyakupipa amafi after ukunya!!!!
This f u c k e r is still in the country,doing what? and still getting tax payers money.
I suspect that this Cikopo is the person who used to keep Sata those days he was in Malawi before he was bundled out of Malawi on a land rover. So ba Sata is just saying thank you to this cikopo man.
Wise words your excerllence.
pliz people where is Richard Kapita has he
retired? Canisius is more active.
Simusamba is more active than Chibwe.
Cornelious is more active than Kakoma.
HH: loser. No state house for you in Zambia, no matter how much you pant.
These are the kaponyas hired by PF to launch social media campaign for them. You can see that they cannot compose more than one sentence.
Life and living??????????????????wonders will never end . the youths of this country are you employed ? it is you the youths who brought this Govt ,now what are you saying ? TAX DRIVERS, MARKETERS WHO VOTED FOR PF SHOULD APOLOGIES TO THE nation . Churches come out in the open and condemn the wrong doings of this PF Govt . peter was told that what ever you refuse to honor on earth even in Heaven shall never be honored . but why are you quiet if the lord has given you the powers. Sata has insulted the ten commandments he promised to honor
Put pressure until the parasite goes back home. Remember you called back Sata from malingering in Europe and India before?
its shocking to hear that chikopo is still in the country. this 1diot has no moral. conscience surely all this time he is hiding in our country. he is now a refugee fearing to go and answer charges in his home country. sata will answer in 2016. this is a clear case of abuse of office
He could be Sata’s personal witch doctor masquerading as a judge!
You mean this Chikopa guy is still around?
HH democracy is expensive why can’t you advise the Judges under probe to face the tribunal remember Judge Chikopa has a contract with Govt.Just like you you did not have moral conscience or heart for the Copperbelt population when you went to liquidate RAMCOS in Luanshya.As Manager receiver you had selfish interest the mines was still viable you should have adviced ZANACO the best option shame on you.As the debenture holders,ZANACO would have refinance the Loan and the mines would have been saved.But as usual you had put your own interest first.Its a pit the former ZANACO Managers are quite they would expose you.The contract was awarded to your undertaking in a corrupt manner.We people of Zambia know the source of your income just pay back what you reaped from the Mines leaving thousands
Much as goes the old adage: “Those who live in glass houses must not through stones!” Nevertheless, the Chikopa case is way, way out of the ordinary.
Wena don’t give us crap. RAMCOZ owed ZESCO and ZANACO $20m and they wanted their money back. This is the reason why they engaged Grant Thornton to put RAMCOZ under receivership. If you have evidence that the contract was awarded to Grant Thornton why the bloody hell don’t you report HH to the ACC? Even your own Sata has failed to charge HH with corruption over this hallucination of yours. Tell us something new not this rubbish! We are bored of the nonsense!
If you want to understand the RAMCOZ issue, please arrange an interview with Mr Magande who was Min. of Finance and Mr Kavindele who was VP. The issues of surrounding the Mines after the pull-out of Anglo are more complicated that the simplistic vies being given. Grant Thornthon was given clear terms of reference and the government was on top of things. Luanshya in particular was one Mine that took time government for government to find a strategic partner because its viabililty was very doubtful. HH was just one of the managing partners in Grant Thornton International. Take him to court if you have evidence. No sacred cows, please.
There is no solution in just criticising, offer the alternatives to the challenges Zambia is facing as a government in waiting. For now, this is Chimbwi no plan.I dont want to hear how educated you are or HH has money because to be educated and have money is one thing but to lead a country is another. We need you to demonstrate that yours will be different from PF through engaging progressive agendas and not just frustrated lamentations
You can’t see advice in this criticism? You want them listed 1,2,3….Wailasha man. The problem with you paid caders is that you are only trained to either insult or ignore sense. You must be one of the 40 PF that graduated in IT choma college last week. Chikopo is a failed diversion to national priorities, or priorities to utilize abundant natural resources. Get it?
No wonder you voted for a clueless bloke, seriously, you wont consider the level of education when choosing your leaders. Were did you people come from?
Umwaume…….
Judge Chikopa has overstayed at our expense, tax payer’s expense. That is the point. It does not matter who expresses that view.
Please, please, please, that expenditure on Judge Chikopa is a serious leakage in our budget and totally unjustified. What benefit is it to Zambians to continue spending money on that tribunal? Just imagine, two tribunals have passed in between; the Kabimba and Masebo tribunal. That is the way it should have been with the Chikopa-led tribunal? Is it because lawyers are targeted and are playing the game they know best – delaying tactics? See how they delay cases in our courts!! They do not even care about what happens to those detained or the state and value of assets involved. Heartless.
His Excellency! HH? Are u crazy?–!
HH, you stop abusing Chikopa.
He did not invite himself to Zambia.
If there is a person to grind an ax with, it is Sata. He should withdraw the invitation to Judge Chikopa.
Don’t miss-point your rifle sir.
My word!! this Malawian Judge is still spending the Zambian tax payers money? Surely this is a scandal by Mr Michael Sata. This will be sufficient to let him be questioned after he leaves office. I suggest that part or all of what this Judge is spending be recovered from Sata’s own pension fund or from his numerous properties in Lusaka.
We are so docile, for real!
ZAGAZE@2 chikopa is a lawyer and your insults will make you appear before a tribunal to prove ur sentiments. ZWD will catch you and hand over to Chikopa so mambala iwe be on the look out. Coming back to the point, HH should address the employer not the employee, so such kind of cheap thinking how can he be president for zambia??? shame on him
where is my comment??
This guy is staying in a 5 star hotel, all expenses paid.
the total bill since his arrival in the country is $1.35 million and climbing.
How many poor people could benefit from a simple medicine out of this money?
We will never develop as a country unless we cut all this unnecessary waste.
ViVa HH you have truely spoken.
God help us.
ka (HH) under 5 you think running a government is as easy taking cattle from the kraal to the pastures and back. you are just a useless vocal chatter box trying to make a name. i di otic armchair critic look at how the poor Bantu 3 peoples in your region have taken to eating roots and ordinary grass out of poverty. should you dupe the electorate and assume presidency i can leave zambia and go to 3rd world Malawi in any capacity maybe even as a judge. True and well meaning Zambians cant vote for this Hutu Bantustan
This Kodos or whatever it is, is uninformed i.d.i.ot. Southern province is not among the poor provinces in Zambia. The problem with illiteracy is that you just open you mouth without realizing what you are saying. Muchinga, Northern, Luapula, North-western and western are the listed poor provinces in Zambia. Do not embarrass yourself >Know your country. How can Zambia develop if we have leaders who are un informed and advised by uninformed people like you. Southern province either you like it or not will remain far ahead of Muchinga and Northern in the next 100 years to come. FACT
compare Chikopa to yourself ka (HH). what are you doing in town leading a lavish lifestyle at the expense of your cadres? you leave Lusaka and go back to your village and help minimize poverty by expanding your farms to accomodate the poor. what type of a president are you who cant even wear a tie or cut his afro
Kudos you are the waste trash I ve ever heard speaking in this world Think about your family and this country, how do u want it to be 10 years to come? This country will remain poor if all people think like you. You are a such useless person in this world. Tell yourself that you a fool, do u ve hatred for HH? Can u compare HH to yourself who whoever you prefer? Look, you stupid, no brains guy. That is the reason Zambia cant develop because of such fools. Just supporting Pf becoz u ve been given K50 by stupid fools that dont think of developing this country but just thinking of making themselves happy and their families.
Please we need to be rescued from these people. God Jehovah help us I pray.
kudos you admit running Government is not easy, so you admitting mistake by your
party, right now chikopa has achieved Zero, except chewing our monies, hunger in HH’s province is Sata’s responsibility, he wanted to be president let him provide food
for them, HH’s time will come, there is time for everything.
Only a fool would support Chikopas stay in Zambia,this is a big scandal
This is an abuse of the nation’s resources. The money this Chikopo is using could have been used to increase the nurses’ pay instead of firing them. Sata and his henchmen are fighting prof Chirwa for staying at the Falls appartments yet Chikopo is staying at a 5 star hotel. This money should be deducted from Sata’s retirement fund. You PF cadres supporting this abuse of resources should be ashamed of yourselves.
Ba Mfumu you ve the brains, you are such people we need in society not fools like Kudos. Stay blessed mate. You are a man with brains.
Kudos……
Stop talking about a subject you do not know or understand. Herding cattle is highly scientific. You do not just get the animals out of the kraal and take them to graze and back into the kraal. There is more. Try that simplistic way and you will lose your animals in a very short time. Some bulls and courageous cows (especially those lactating) would just turn round and gore you. Great rulers recorded in the Bible started off with herding livestock or had a background thereof : – Moses, Joseph, David, Solomon and many more. You do not know what you are writing about.
Judge Chikopa should be probing Sata’s brain bcoz it appears he’s not preidential material.
HH does not understand diplomcy. Imagine if he was president, can poor people be respected? Chikopa is a senior Commonwealth Judge and is here on government assignment. If HH knew how government works he would have addressed hi anger to our govt not innocent Chikopa. Should people blame HH for liquidating companies?
What “Effing ….” govt assignment???
A clueless govt indeed, i dont think a normal human can ever vote for this clown. he has bern spending money on tribunals in order to empower his cohorts.
HH do not just talk ask Sakwiba Sikota to petition Chikopa’s appointment which has now become null and void.
27 March 2014 6.3627 6.3727 6.3677 10.5807 10.5986 10.5896
Dollar and Pound buying, selling and mid-rate as at yesterday. Notice the pound is at K10.5. This morning, the dollar has started trading at 6.410. PF cadres on this thread, Kudos, my tribalist homosexual friend, you seem to have an insight of how your hopeless party works, is there like a grand master plan to sort this out or maybe your blogging duties are restricted to HH attacks and anything else is beyond your little pea-brain?
This ***** is still in the Country??? UPND should effect Citizens arrest as soon as possible,another issue which should be addressed by the society,they must forget about the constitution for now!!
This idio.t is still in the Country??? UPND should effect Citizens arrest as soon as possible,another issue which should be addressed by the society,they must forget about the constitution for now!!
You mean Chikopa is still around ??????
So Mr Chikopo is still in the country? Is there a way around this that our learned Lawyers can employ to get this man back to his country until such a time that his service will be needed if at all? Recently I was on a panel interviewing candidates for board membership of one organisation. There was a very sharp young Lawyer, a lady, she was spot on and just wished we had such people back home.
HALUCINATOR HALEISA
this kudos is just a backward moron who is neither fit to mingle nor debate pertinent issues with any reasonable intellectual.its just (ubututu) at work
Mr President why is this infidel of a Judge in still in Zambia. Other Tribunals headed by Zambian Judges have discharged their functions.
Please set up another Tribunal to investigate this Chikopa and send him back by road and hand him over to the Malawian Authorities at Mchinji border post. Let him go and answer charges awaiting him in Malawi. Mambala fake Judge!
Am a Zambian no tribal comments.Unison agreement to whoever has comments from all kinds of english we use nowadays from the colonial masters.
I agree with some of the comments in general that SOUTHERN PROVINCE is one of the most richest and developed Provinces in our Country Zambia.
Look at these things;mobile communication you can talk all the way if you have airtime from Kafue to Livingstone without interruption on network.Secondly Kilometers are so precise when you are driving meaning you will know the exact amount of money you will use on fuel.
I know on moderate development every Province is trying its best to develop.Please do not use certain provinces as launch pads for politics.GOD BLESS
