The Zambian Embassy in Washington in the United States of America has misused funds through delayed banking of revenue, irregular payment of Foreign Service allowances, unretired imprest, unaccounted for stores and unaccounted for fuel funds among others.

This has been revealed in the Auditor General’s (AG) report for the financial year ended 2008, which also revealed massive misappropriation of public funds by other Zambian foreign missions.

The delays in banking revenue amounted to about to K1.15 billion for the period ranging from two to 88 days.

In unretired imprest, the mission paid advances totaling to K149.1 million involving 44 transactions, which were issued to 12 officers during the period from January 2007 to December 2008. This imprest was not retired as at August 2009.

For unaccounted for stores, the mission is said to have no receipts and disposal details for assorted items costing K84.8 million and amounts totaling over K103.9 million were paid to BP AMOCO for the procurement of fuel for the mission vehicles during the period under review.

At Gaborone mission in Botswana, the AG’s report reveals that a total of K3.1 billion was captured as expenditure resulting in a variance of K993.5 million between the funding and expenditure of the mission.

A comparison of revenue returns at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters and those maintained at the mission revealed variances of K173.8 million in 2007 and K8.2 million in 2008.

The report has further revealed that at the mission in Abuja, a total of K54.9 million was collected from the period January to December 2008 as revenue for issuing visas instead of K90. 1million, therefore resulting into an under collection of revenue by K35.2 million.
This was because the mission continued to issue visas at the old rate despite the Immigration Department visa fees being increased from US$30 and US$50 for single and multiple entry visas to US$80 and US$160 respectively.
The increase was with effect from 26th January 2008.

  1. Now that we have the information about how our taxes have been abused, we need accountability. I only hope such transparency can be applied to all units in good time.

  2. Veteran Senior Citizen Ben Kangwa, your comments are needed here. What happened Mr. smart one? You see, you can run but you cannot hide. Where is the money? You are here blogging but busy claiming imprest even when you are in your one bedroom apartment. Anyway, you should feel safe as Banda cherishes such activities. You are luck LPM is dead. This could have been the end of your blogging.

  4. People at Embassy in DC are so incompetency, they lack efficiency, when you contact them they take ages to respond back, now they are also plunders of tax payers money, anyway their father RB and GK will protect them.
    Zambia nizii**==**==

  5. Congratulations AG but i doubt it if RB will act on this issue. I will keep my ears to the ground just in case he reacts.

  6. And to think the embassy in Abuja was claiming the government was delaying in paying salaries and yet the xx’s could have paid themseleves with the amounts they undercharged.@-)@-)

  7. Good Evening

    This report is very dissapointing. We cannot have a few Zambians living large at the expense of the suffering masses back home. I’m sure there are also Embassies which are faithful when it comes to management of funds so it’s good that the culprits have been identified.

  8. And these people have degrees and busy stealing our monies. Zambians you have been come thieve and highly corrupt people shame on you guys .

  9. This is just a tip of the iceberg …these p.u.n.k.s. have done more damage than good to Zambians in the US. They can’t even process simple passports. I applied for one in Feb 2009 up no now I have not received word on the status. When I call all I hear is this boring recording from a woman who sounds like she was high on something When u get transferred to a Mr Musonda he never answers (typical chilenje mentality). When you leave him a voice message he will never reply. The only gentleman who I think has tried is Mr Kalaba. At least he sounds like a genuine guy with just too much on his plate. Bring all involved to justice…. in fact as a matter of fact I’m getting US citizenship this year so I will not have to deal with this Zambian Embassy n.o.n.s.e.n.se anymore …ba swine ….

  12. WORKS and supply minister Mike Mulongoti (above) has said the country is faced with a challenge of having to find adequate resources to invest in the roads. Mulongoti yesterday said that the country also had a challenge of making hard choices in order to complete all the old major projects that were started many years ago.

    Ba Mulongoti, the money is there, but you spend it on worthless projects and embassies that are scheming the government. Stop payments to these embassies until they account for the money they have squandered. Why should we continue to awarding failures?

  13. # 8, you mean these people are graduates? No, if they had degrees they would not steal from the public, and that is why ‘we’ are looking for a presidential candidate with a ‘degree’. I am told degree holders can perform better that non-degree holders.

  14. why are corruption cases alwys following my family kanshi? awe where there is the lord there is a way. people r oways jelous

  15. #2 and others

    Why do you always have to bring LMP name up… these things happened under his nose you have the reports coming out now which means atleast there is transparency give credit where its due wait and see what the current administration will do (emphasis on administration and not RB) because they work as a collective.

  16. # 15, Creative, I really do understand what you mean. But what I meant here is that at least LPM fired some ambassadors for the same cases, eg, the George Chulumanda when this was discovered happening in Mozambique. I really did not mean LPM was a saint. The difference is that Banda will not act for fear of offending Lozis since the boss at US Embassy is Inonge. Also I was drawing a parallel with his silence about Ghost Worker (Spouse) Thandiwe. I m sorry I did not elaborate.

  18. Inonge Mbikusita can’t be touched. And honestly I always thought she was more competent than this.

    Ben Kangwa burning fuel driving all over DC on personal errands.

    Independence and other parties are rampant at the embassy, no wonder money is unaccounted for.

  19. kalos is the foolish uneducated fool, that have believed lies from the post , with hidden agenda, but we dont blame you continue showing yo follishness .

  20. Some how I want to see fruits of our Zambian Embassy in DC. I have been here in the US for years, all I have seen is complaints about ineptitude and the embassy crying for more money. How does this embassy spend this money? Bo Inonge, is this leadership you wanted to take to AU? No wonder it never worked out.

  21. It should not mean inonge is at fault she should sort this issue out ie fire some of the people that are meant to keep a record of everything i dont think she does this all by herself. if she doesnt do anything then only should the appointing authority come in

  23. # 19, Code101, what have done to you? You are the type of people who sleep on the same bed with your parents. What education do you have that you should even talk about here? It is always dolts like you, who have very little or no education who talk about education. You know what is foolish? Your parents for failure to teach you to debate issues but people who have done nothing to you. Anyway, you have your reasons to be as foolish as you are. inheritance. That is the only excuse I can find in your foolishness. It is not your fault, after all you just inherited it from your father. Next time you say something, I will tell you something that will affect your health. So, please behave, just for the first time.

  24. This report is usually very outdated and most people who do not read details will cast aspersions on innocent people presently at the missions. 2007-2008, we had a different President and some of the staff responsible for these abuses have been redirected. Why can’t the AG’s report be more contemporary? It is a pity that by the time the next report is out, there may be a different government, which may take the credit or the slap, depending on the report.

  26. #9 Frustrated Zambian in US, you must be frustrasted for real. When I applied for my passport I had to wait for more than six months and the Mr. Kalaba you talking about kept on givng me story me stories. Mr. Musonda came at the embassy four months ago I told the man my passport problem and guess what? I had my pasport in less than a month :d/. So I dont know about you but I think Mr. Musonda is doing a good job. You said you applied for yo passport in february almost the same time I did but Mr. Musonda was not there then because I think we would have hd our passport earlier. Mr Kalaba just talks I dont think he even know his Job because his not the one who is supposed to give passports thats not his job, and thats the reason why we havng all this corruption and miss appropriate of…

  27. Old habits die hard, meaning, they never die. There is something very wrong with us and we are not even ashamed to show it! Surely, why cant we be number one in great and good things??????

  28. Ironically, high spending Inonge Lewanika has even been transfered to Belgium. That is tantamount to transferring failure and plundering from one place to the other. So she will go scot free imwe ba GRZ? What about Chulumanda who was fired in Mozambique over similar cases?

  29. VETERAN PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS
    well well it is very disappointing that these people who do not even represent the interest of the Zambian citizen here can misuse funds like that. I was kind of not comfortable about the audit when I met one the officers from the auditor general as he was in the company of some embassy officials but he assured me they will be professional about the process.
    Veteran has been blogging at the expense of the tax money and insult the Zambia people intelligence.

  33. The president must act to stop this idio<<<cy especially the zambian embassy in USA. These people are not ready to work starting from top to bottom. They belong to kabwata and libala not USA. RB plz cleanse the zambian embassy(USA).

  34. The president must act to stop this idio<<<cy especially the zambian embassy in USA. These people are not ready to work starting from top to bottom. They belong to kabwata and libala not USA. RB plz cleanse the zambian embassy(USA).

  35. Senior Citizen come out of the woodwork and defend the abuse of public funds at the embassy.
    I hear that when a senior leader such as president and vice president are visiting these countries, that is when the money is “eaten”.

  36. # 33 and 34 what is the story here? This is one chap using different names. shame on you. cheating on a blog and you have the audacity to even critise the embassy.

  37. AS FAR AS I KNOW ABOUT MISUSING PUBLIC FUNDS ,ITS JUST ABOUT THE ONE WE HAVE CAUGHT(THIEVES)AT HAND…IMPUPU!!!WELL,I WILL NOT SAY MUCH BUT PUT THIS ACROSS..”WHY NOT COME AND CATCH THE SKELETONS AT OUR EMBASSY HERE….WE HAVE MORE CULPRITS HERE THAN THERE!!!”THESE SUKARS NO THAT THE RUBBLE CURRENCY IS A PIN IN THE ZEMBIAN us …YET,ALL WE ARE GETTING IS A KAPECK(COIN)WHICH GOES TO THE HOSTEL FEELS AND VODKA!!!

  38. What is the purpose of an embassy and mission abroad? I think 1. To represent the sending country.
    2. To sell the interests of the sending country and foster good bilateral relations. 3. To advocate, counsel, protect and support the citizens of the sending country in the foreign country. If there is anything else, someone may feel free to add. Having said that, this would be the bare minimum. Our representatives however, go to make money for themselves. The Zambian HC in London sells London to Zambians on its website. The Canada mission website has nothing at all. Italian is ok. Germany has Chinkuli alone. The best websites are South African and Belgian/EU. Russia, pathetic. Most of others do not even give correct info. Hence the use of old visa fees in Abuja!

  40. BIGOT:blindly and obstinately attached to some creed or opinion and intolerant toward others

    If you want to see bigots, look at #2 Kalos2020, Shi muchita panono #29, Kwandagala #35.

    I believe Senior Citizen and Veteran do not work at any embassy but rather in the corporate world and I challenge anyone to prove otherwise.

  41. As for the report, this just proves that the RB administration is committed at fighting corruption. There is more information coming out in the RB administration than any other administration. This just proves that the RB administration is serious about fighting corruption.

  42. more definitions of bigot:

    a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own

    one who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; one who is strongly partial to one’s own group (PF cadres and sympathizers)

    biased; strongly prejudiced; forming opinions without just cause

    END.

  43. # 40. Ba Capitalist, check your pants, something is smelling. Seems like you are just pooping around. What happened to discussing the issue at hand? Nomba mwayamba ukubutukila kuma Dictionary. The issue at hand is where did the money entrusted to the so called embassies go? After all who do these embassies represent? Probably ba Capitalist can help with the answer.

  46. My honest opinion is that any Zambian in a foreign land needing any help with travel/passports/documents should run or call the Zambian Embasy but now alot of people send their documents back home to friends to have their passport processed from there.This is the type of picture our Embassy paints here.I have high regard for Zambian Associations that strive to bring communities together than I have for the Zambian Embassy but at the end of the day Boma is still Boma and that a Zambian Association cannot give me a passport but I get a feeling that the Zambain association is on my team and the Embassy is not.
    I have seen people eager to return back home but only to be barred from travelling because the passport expired.If you have ever seen a Zambian depressed,then it would be a zambian…

  47. Continuation…………………………..
    who has already booked their flight and is given a number of days to fix their paperwork or risk voiding their ticket.The first call to the Embassy is a nightmare.They either dont pick up or you get a busy signal.When you finally get through you here,oh teishile lelo uyu.There is no sense of urgency.There is no experditing.Somehow these people havent been exposed because they are all from Zambia with the ministry mentality.I have worked in wharehouses,call centers and have seen how people belive in working in a fast paced environment.Tikalipatali.By the end of 2 weeks you end up making 44 calls to the embassy without realising and so have to cancell your trip for another 3 months.We need a clean house starting with DC.Oh I feel so much better.

  48. number 41, 42. mwa punzila new word bigot lelo? haha yaba.we will bembuzi (bigot) you on this site. basop. deuces :)>-

  51. #37 I feel you I lived in Russia 2000 piva, baltika troika, riba. Dbuchonick. Babushika and rebiyata all katofuli vodka.

  53. The auditor’s report needs also to list the people by name, this should be available for public records afterall this is Tax payers money and not Govt money so the tax payers have every right to know who it is. Furthermore those people should never be employed in any other Govt position as there are not there to serve the taxpayers but themselves, they should be on a blacklist

  54. For those Zambians in USA who are courageous please demonstrate outside the Zambian embassy, such should not be tolerated at least there is freedom of expression in the USA.

  56. Ba Veteran, Senior Citizen posenipo ka comment kaili, busy blogging instead of working, nali landile ine akalefye. Mwamona nomba, ulwendo lwamoneka, Zambia is waiting.

  57. GRZ MUST CONSIDER GOING CASHLESS ZAMBIANS ARE CROOKS BY NATURE NO MATTER THEIR POSITION .LET SERVICES BE PAID FOR INTO BANK ACCOUNTS OR BY CREDIT CARDS.MADAM AG YOU HAVE SUCH A BIG MOUTH ALSO ,THE OTHER PROBLEM YOU DO NOT SEE IS THAT THE ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES IN ZAMBIA IN GENERAL ARE SO OUTDATED EASY FOR THIEVES TO STEAL COMPTURISE AND YOU’LL BE GETTING TRANSACTIONS BY CLOSE OF BUSINESS BY EMAIL CAN’T YOU MOVE WITH TIME YOU CHAPS EVERYDAY IS THE SAME STORY SUNG ON DIFFERENT DAYS.WE ARE SIMPLY TIRED.RB RETIRE THIS WOMAN I THINK SHE HAS FAILED IN HER JOB,SHE FAILS TO MAKE REAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE ACCOUNTING OF GRZ MONI.TO EMBASSY CHAPS NO WONDER THEY ARE SO AGGRESIVE TO FELLOW ZAMBIANS VERY UNHELPFUL.THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY ARE WELL CONNECTED TO THE LEGACY !!!!FAILED PUBLIC…

  60. Here is the main news read by veteran Ben Kangwa the office of the Auditor General has uncovered a massive financial mismanagement and at the Zambian mission in Washington DC. And in a twist event all the Zambian based in the USA that have had all but negative experience at the mission are calling for Ben Veteran Kangwa to comment on the issue as he has been blogging like a computer virus however the man has varnished in thin. Reliable sources informed ZNBC that he is busy packing and making arrangement for his boy at the University of Maryland to stay in America. However the Zambian diaspora community in DC have promised a massive demo to make sure he take everything that came with him. And now for the commercials BOOM BOOM NI SOAP YA BWINO. MAYEU MAYEU,

  61. Mr Capitalist, shani Man
    The delays in banking revenue amounted to about to K1.15 billion for the period ranging from two to 88 days.
    Im made to believe RB has been president for more than 100 days, and this falls under his admin,not the former
    as for your comment @ #40, very unfortunate coming from a scholar like you,KALOS is a level headed gentleman,i read all his well thought posts,and to be called a bigot is way below the belt,lets debate issues not personalities

  64. now ladies and gentlemen in Washington DC and beyond before you crucify these Zed diplomats with your planned demo do you have valid papers which allow you to live and work in the USA legally?Coz some of you blame the embassy for your ever lost and expired passports which is not true ,thats the way you extent your stay there .And am reliably told that most of you are paid peanuts coz you have no legal right to live and work in USA.The truth you venting your anger on wrong pipo who never sent there in the first place.So i wish you the best that when you stage your demo one ends up in detention centre awaiting the next flight to the flooded Lusaka roads.Be careful ,thight be your last blogg it’s tough pa Lusaka .

  65. #62 only a few intellects like you take time to read the article analyze the comments then write about your own smart intelligent views that are not politically motivated keep the spirits up. KALOS is indeed an intellect.

  66. #64 no worries we have everything it take to be here and we shall enjoy our rights and no form of intimidation shall suffice or come our way we already have a permit for the event

  69. #64 do you know anything about USAID to Zambia it partly the American tax payers money that this govt has mismanaged and anything to do with corruption the Americans will support.

  70. IT WOULD BE GOOD OF YOU GUYS TO STAGE A DEMO ,I SUPPORT YOU AS LONG AS NO ONE GETS INTO TROUBLE WITH THE COPS THERE.EMBASSY CHAPS ARE THE SAME IN RSA,JAPAN UK AND USA THEY THINK THEY ARE OUR MASTERS .WE PAY FOR THEIR BILLS AND WE PAY OUR OWN BILLS ,SO WHO IS THE MASTER AND WHO IS THE SERVANT?

  71. #69I KNOW ABOUT THAT DEAD AID .IT IS NOTHING MY DEAR WE JUST KEEP THOSE YANKEES IN EMPLOYMENT AND ENJOY THE AFRICAN SUN SHINE PERIOD.95% OF THAT SO CALLED AID GOES BACK TO THEM IN FORM OF ALLOWANCES AND FIRST CLASS FLIGHTS.WE THEIR COMPANIES TO INVEST IN ZAMBIA NOT BAYS SOYA BEANS .WE TRACTORS AND WATER PUMPS .WE NEED THEM TO COME AND SEE THE VICTORIA FALLS IN THEIR MILLONS NOT HANDOUTS TATA IN FORM AID ,THEY CAN GIVE TO THE CHAPS IN SLAMS OF NY CITY,MAYBE THEY WILL APPRECIATE IT MORE.

  73. #64 the ones with papers can demonstrate on behalf of those that don’t, simple and straight forward. Even 5 or 10 demonstrators can send a strong message . Some one needs to call the US police to find out concerning if there are any laws for a peaceful demonstration, which likely there is none as America has freedom of expression.

  74. BOMA mentality, kwatifye bali pa CABIMET offices, where they left ama jackets hanging on empty seat in their offices. This is USA . Do not bring with you the same FOOLISHNESS to the missions. Mwatusebanya pafula. Better do your jobs. don’t just go eat macdonalds and burger king as though you just dropped from Shango’mbo………….

  75. #73 YOU ARE CORRECT I GIVE YOU MY BLESINGS BUT AS YOU SAID CALLTHE POLICE JUST TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE LAW MAY BE THEY NEED TO GIVE YOU A COP OR TWO JUST ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT BREAK THE EMBASSY BUILDING DURING THE DEMO.

  76. Imwe banthu where’s VETERINARY or sorry Veteran!!! could it be that he’s packed his dictionaries already? good riddance,,,utusungu twakwe twalenteke i’nfine Kaaaaboooom American airlines is warming up its engines….calling flight LKM380 airbus check in please tututututututututu,,,,do not leave bags unnattended

  77. I believe this is the new way of funding political campaigns. Check the timing. Thats the new prudent use of Zamtroop. The monies are channelled back to Zambia with the full knowledge of the PIG. I dont think anybody will be answerable but the govt itself.

  78. #75 they don’t need to enter the embassy ,they can demonstrate peacefully outside the embassy along the road with signs, with similar coloured clothes like in Thailand/Malaysia

  79. I am disappointed because I thought Dr Inonge Mbikusita Lewanika, Zambian Ambassador to USA, was a competent female to become our Zambian first woman president but alas this news is very shocking. I hope Mr Ben Kangwa and others will help clear the Nation on what is really going on at that USA Embassy.

    Have a great day all.

  81. Ndili bo and long time surely as I have been busy trying to settle at home with my excited family. Atihow vintu Mossad?

    It is just disappointing that our Zambian Embassies and High Commisions are beinf reported to have performed very badly over a serious National Resource like money that could have been channelled to kanyama compound to rectify the flood problems people experience there.

    Take care.

  84. The problem with a lot of our senior public officers, like Ambassodor Inonge Mbikusita Lewanika, is that they may have front office skills but virtually zero back office skills. They are basically ceremonial figures who look good smiling at the camera, but do not have mangaerial acumen or competency. They lack control awareness and probably do not even realise that internal finances and accountability are in disarray, until AG steps in.
    The solution is to appoint well rounded professionals in the right positions, plus regular on the job positive reinforcement of core competencies.

  85. Just forget it ba blogger but good academic exercise. This matter will die a natural death like many others. That is Zed for you. That is why I ran away from ba fontini.

  86. Is it me or is it curious that this has come up now. Especially considering that IML is a credidible contender for the top job. It seems like another attempt to tarnish her image.
    God is on the throne and the truth shall be revealed.

  87. Its interesting how some people on this site have gone ahead to call for the resignation of two people probably the only people that are well Known from the Embassy Mr Ben Kangwa and Dr Lewanika. I am disappointed with such behavior though am not surprised given the pull him down syndrome of zambian’s. I agree that the customer service at the washington Embassy is very bad infact I would give them -1/10 because it is terrible. I however will not accept people tarnishing the image of the two most popular people at the embassy just because you want to. Honestly how do you link a Press Attache to controlling of funds where there are accountants and a secretary in charge of finance just because you dont know their names. For once let us be serious and please do not talk from your arse.

  88. I want to agree with 87.Let us not be myopic when blogging.I don’t see how Ben Kangwa has anything to do with delayed funds meant for banking.I don’t even see how he is involved in the misapplication of funds.The person to blame is Inonge and the so called semi literate accountant. Ben Kangwa’s job is to promote the image of Zambia in the USA. That aside, Inonge and the accountant and a few others have overstayed and that is why there are problems at that embassy. What do you expect when you even bring in an officer with a case of missing rice at cabinet office to be in charge of things like stationery, fuel and transport. We all know that Texas has been a bad place for Zambians. Remove such people from embassies and replace them with honest ones

  89. BaKangwa balishama.Anything that happensw at that embassy, he is mentioned.Is this what it means to be public figure? I like his style though.Always cool and composed. The negative comments do not seem to weaken him.On a serious note, the man just knows his job.In the many years I have been inUSA, at no time has the activities of the embassy been published or read about in ou local press than the last three years now. Ben keep it up. I know that the sky is the limit for you, new government or not. Somebody says they saw you in Zambia on znbc tv at the launch of tv2. Is that true? On Dr. Lewanika, I think time is not on her side.Taking her elsewhere is simply taking trouble from Washington to where she is going. RB, please make her DPS in Mongu so that she can coordinate Friends of Zambia

  90. :Awe mwe. Little minds discuss persons and great minds discuss issues. Some of our bloggers are just full of jelousy.Balekeni bantu baku Embasi badwelepo. Imwe muchita chani ku USA? Odd jobs!Go back home and do something.Zambia is now vibrant.Everybody is doing something.Imwe mungo nkala ku mangalande where you are treated as second class citizens. Senior citizen, can you comment on who the crook is from Texas. Anachita chani? You are also right nena bantu ku embasi bankalisa.How on earth can you stay for ten years fearing to go home.Nkhoyani mwe.

  91. Zambians are paying monthly allowances for spouses and up to 3 children for these officials. Their children’s education were also paid by you in the form of education allowance.You were also paying certain percentage for their pepco, washington gas and telephone bills. Their House Rent are also paid by you.

    No. 86, Mr. Ben Kangwa has nothing to do with Accounting. Let us help him to do his job as in charge of the Press and Information. Maybe he can help us expose more anomalies in the Embassy.

  92. I heard that the services of the local staff who had been with the Accts. at Washington DC Embassy for more than 10 years was terminated since September, 2009. Any information about this Staff?

  93. Help me please ! this is an investigation;

    I’m patrick M.SHIMALUBA,I’m born in Congo ,in 1972,my mother name is Marie-Claire MISENGA and my father’s name is Dickson SHIMALUBA.I’ve never seen him and and i need to hear about him.Back in the time he has been working to the Zambian chancery in LUBUMBASHI (Democratic Republic of Congo) and then the Zambian Government sent him to the Zambian Embassy to America.Please inquire for me about him. Thanks
