President Banda calls for action on AG’s report

1. yeah yeah yeah,anthing else? :-l:-l:-l

2. number ____(fill in the blanks)

   Good move president at least you can catch the kawalala’s in the government too bad the kawalalaz are at the top

3. [-x

4. Its about time

5. I am afraid this is just publicity and the report will be disregarded, Mr president you have undermined the Task Force by saying you think they talk long to conclude the cases. There is a backlog of court cases against this government that have gone under the bridge. My point is, what will you do about it, we know cases are takjing almost 5 years to conclude by which time, yourself will no longer be the president and the momentum would have been lost. prime example chiluba and his disciples !

6. Corruption is a cancer that has retarded our beloved Zambia.It has to be fought tooth and nail.Oh Nambala 3!!

7. Oh sorry 6 and dont know if its 7 or 8

8. No need for the nambala stuff Sharp Shooter, you are smarter than that, and you are one of the few people that talk sensible issue.

   I am your fan, quit that club man. Resorting to that is wanting to be in the headlines for wrong reasons. Cheers

9. By Kwasi Kpodo
   ACCRA (Reuters) – Ghana swore in opposition leader John Atta Mills as president on Wednesday in a democratic transfer of power that won plaudits from around the world for one of Africa’s most attractive investment destinations.
   IF IT WERE DAN KALALE, JOHN ATTA MILLS WOULD NOT HAVE THE ELECTION. ******LE BALIKALISHA KOLYOKOLYO BA MMD.

10. This is a good development. Let us see this directive being acted upon. Good governance begins with good policies.

11. ***#9 SHOULD READ JOHN ATTA MILLS WOULD NOT HAVE WON ELECTIONS

12. Yeah man we need to catch dem rasclaat informer taking money from the poor innit? Manz is on this babylon ting, so swag

13. RB

    Thank you so much,but please first deal with the current plunderers.

14. #8(INFECTED MEAT),I have gotten your advice wholeheartedly,once again thanks man,i appreciate.

15. Anytime Sharp.
    Enjoy yor evening, later.

16. N.I Dot GG. Dot A

    Haile bratha man,You are rite dis pipo nid to be dealt with I’n’I dot like babylonians,dem enjoying while I’n’I am slaving wat agwan with dis babylonians.bratha Man I tink dem nid more teaching of H.I.M,op else I’n’I will chant dem down.

17. I thing the terms of office should be reduced to just:)>- years. Bamambala seems to be overly reporting on anything now; just to lobby for their support in the 2011.(:|

    Prezdo: Walk your talk …mwilabwata bwata fye!

18. For the first time and probably the last time i will try and give RB some benefit of doubt on an understanding that he doesn’t kick me in my teeth and go back to his old ways of corruption and defending the corrupt. RB dont forget that some of us where weaned off in MWAMUKOLO and know nothing else but ICIBWATO so don’t take my one-off support for you for granted, it can be withdrawn anytime without a second thought.

19. I hope they follow the president’s orders and
    clean out corrupt officials.

20. Please dont delete

21. LT very disappointing propbably its high time i retired like the rest.

22. #17….presido terms just 2 yrs…

23. THE police officer who has been stalking former local government minister Sylvia Masebo was yesterday charged for criminal trespass.

24. I was present.After the speech,Mr Banda gave out packs of sugar:d

25. Am happy RB has said something to his surbodinates which they can use for decision making. He wants accountability and will not be afraid to presecute Mulongoti if he continues stealing as he is already doing.

26. deal also with old cases laying iddle in courts before you threaten people that way you be respected.

27. Let the president resign first on corruption when distributing sugar & those 15 million of envelopes.corruption is an in born now.

28. Amphuno ikhulu, just shut up! I also hear you have a “Malawan” citizenship pa duze?

29. #23 Its now difficult to know who is telling the truth between Sylvia and the cop. Maybe he was given ‘some’ when he was on guard duty at the house. 😕

30. More efforts on fighting corruption again? Thats more trouble in the Amen corner. watchout anyandule.

31. Guys, Chi RB twalechimwenamofye, kuti chajoba. I thought all those that were close to him during the election were going to get jobs, chalibacinga.

32. Good morning all! :)>-

    Its interesting to note that whereas the Auditor General’s office has continued to expose irreguralities (especially in govt dept) , we are rarely (if any) seeing any action taken against the so called culprits. Can someone tell me what this means? At this rate, would it be wrong then to say that the AG’s office is irrelevant? I mean, whats the point of the office if all we get are stories and no action?:-?

33. Has anyone ever considered the benefits of corruption.

34. :((

35. RB is in the right direction and I can see good things happening before the end of 2011. Let us all encourage him

36. GAZZIE says, “get ’em”.

    Ba manga manyumba while i cant even afford rentals at Northmead Flats.
    And i hope this is not mere talk because BILLIONS are being lost and we keep singing about it withot follow up acti

37. #33. There are no benefits in corruption. It is all disasterous
    because everything is exerggerated. The real value of every object is changed, the mindset of citizens is changed etc. So let us all fight corruption to the bitter end.

38. Good morning zambians,how are you today ? am very well,thank you and please sit down.today ,we will learn about mulenga and jelita.

    mulenga is a boy ,jelita is a girl : say……! again…..! once more….

    AMUPONE KABOPTU NOBAKWESU KOLI KOONSE NKOMUBEDE. MEBO NDIME TILIMBOYI MUKUNGULU,mwana akumabu.

39. At a time when zambians are eager to fight this beast called corruption.Someone calling himself”SomeOfUs” is daring Zambians to consider the benefits of corruption.This is retrogressive especially that even a pre-scholar knows the benefits of corruption which are unfortunately negative.#33,here are some of them:retarded economic growth,poor social infrastructure(shcools,hospitals,transport etc),the widenig of the gap between the poor and rich,hey,the list is endless.So as a Zambian positve thinking is a prerequisite and stay well in SA coz i hear there is Xenophobia.

40. #38 dont be childish.This blog is for serious issues and dont waste our time by bringing Jelita & Mulenga issues.Am really disappointed with you.If you dont have issues to contribute please wait for an optune time when your brain is prepared!!!Such are the postings that need to be avoided at all costs coz they undermine the importance of this very wonderful and well meaning site.

41. this’s long over due mr presido.we’re looking forward to seeing action against ailing officers in public service.2006,now 2007 yet to come to public eyes,definitely have names of pipo with sticky hands,we expect law to visit them,not to be treated with kinder gloves.good stuff,keep up your excellence!

42. frm 41,plz don’t forget the foreign missions,we know that pipo out there have dirty fingers….late LPM eluded to that.we’re watching and shall pass judgment on your administration in this regard on due course.

43. #37 Put it another way have we ever considered the causes of corruption. All we are doing is trying to treat cancer with pain killers

44. Am glad we are going in the right direction,a long time ago,the Office of the AG was just ”an office” but in the last few years it has been instrumental in bringing to light irregularities in the operations of the govt.The office now has well trained & dedicated officers in all provinces,it’s been decentralised therefore operations are smooth & efficient.
    The AG does his job to report on findings,it’s up to the relevant authorities in the judiciary to act,it doesn’t matter how long it has taken for plunderers to face justice but we definately can see the efficiency & the power of the AG’s office so well done for letting people know this office exists & works.

45. the acc should pick up issues of corruption from the AG’s report. controlling offices have failed to discpline these guys and sometimes they are also involved as they approve these payment. the recent arrest of former PSs and other high ranking officers is a clear testimony to this

46. Accountability in Zambia will be meaningful only when we Zambians participate. Participation would mean us demanding for the information and requesting responsible offices to act on them.

    The President has been singing that alot of money was spent during the funeral of LPM. Can someone from the government please provide that information to Zambians? It would be great to have it in print!

47. #46. Do i hear FOIB(Freedom of Information Bill)……. these guys are gragging their feet over it bcoz they know that, if you know you will become critical ….

48. #47.sorry meant ‘dragging’

49. Zambia is currently changing the passports. There is always a big crowd at the Passport Office. One day I found a police woman counting money and having some forms. I asked her whether it was her responsibility to hold the money. All I was answered was that she was assisting someone because the cashier had closed.

    The system there is rotten. There is need to have an overhaul of staff. It will be wise to rotate the Police officers so that they do not become familiar with the situation.

50. While still at it, the mind sets of Zambians have changed for the worst, I believe because of corruption. Everyone is looking for money. How they get it, is nobody’s bees wax. The talk is sweet but highly contagious and one needs to be careful at all times, relative or no relative. Streetism has penetrated at individual and institutional levels, educated or uneducated. What’s worse is that those who are educated, are using their education to perpetrate their evil and they say they are smart. Whistle blowing, behind the scenes wickedness is the inthing. Change of mindsets should be priority number one for any President, but this has to begin by uprooting the root cause.

51. The use of the Task Force is painstakingly expensive and moreso that the cases are dragging. I do not know how much mandate they have to prosecute as it was formed by the President. But this was not taken to Parliament for ratification so that it is formed by an Act of Parliament like the ACC, Police and other institutions. It seems there is a technical error here. Why can’t the government dissolve the Task Force and continue using the ACC, Police, AG etc? What are your views friends?

52. JM, I am not a constitutional expert and do not know the nitty gritties of the Zambian constitution but what about EXECUTIVE POWERS, are they not enshrined in it? Since the late also dissolved the PHI as an illegal entity, perhaps your point is valid. What I understand is that when a president makes pronouncements on certain critical national issues, those pronouncements can be gazetted as law. The dragging of cases as I believe is political. How could the late send someone who woke him up at midnight to go to statehouse to prison? Remember the real fight against corruption was started by Zambians who slept at the National Assembly building demanding immunities of some folks to be

53. Good stuff. Now let us see the results of the investigations. Year in year out we have seen the same report and this year we must see right people behind bars and wrong people out of jail. Let us support RB for he now stands for a common goal hindering progress. Well done LT the subject is fine.

54. lifted. Now, we need to speed up by setting up special court sessions that will go on everyday for two or three months until the cases are disposed of as in the case of OJ Simpson and his criminal trial, remember Allan Marshal, Late John Cockran, the dream team etc. Thats what we need and we should push for that if we are true patriots.

55. infected meat—ever since i started blogging i stopped eating meat :p:p:p:p:p:p:p i eat this (~~)(~~)(~~)(~~)

56. There you are, REAL BRAIN. Mabrok!!

57. Kudos should really go to the lady at the helm of fighting this scourge called corruption.
    The AG is doing a very recommendable job and difficult circumstances,i wish Kalale and his tendem of crooks can take a leaf of advise from her!! these politicians can noty be expected to investigate themselves RB inclusive,just see how he has handled the Chungu case and you will shudder with fear of what will befall Zambia after three years.
    Again Madam AG,keep up the good fight on behalf of us Zambians,only God will reward you and your hard working staff

58. yes action is needed but the problem is that these same pipo involved in the plunder also financed mr bwezanis election so what action can he take on them.we need pipo who are clean to deal with these chaps not bwezani and his collegues they are all plunderers.

59. You cant change a Zebra spot by just washing it, a Zebra is Zebra.Capitalism favors corruption than any other ideology ever embraced

60. rb wat`s up

61. #59, thats not true. Whats happening in Zambia is not capitalism neither is it democracy, its shear insanity. Many of the tenets of democracy upon which you would expect to butress capitalism are totally absent in Zambia. For instance, you can not be a democracy in the midst of poverty, external threas such as those from neighbouring Zimbabwe, internal political instability not necessarily peace etc. Corruption is not synonymous with capitalism unless you do not understand the origin of capitalism and its principles. Capitalism revolves around an equitable distribution of part of the wealth created and owned by a few amongst the havenots. Not everyone should be excessively rich

62. Mmhh! masobela ayo! =))

63. Sinkani imozi nayaku National Olympic iyi, Thats why we lose in even in football, stealing stealing baba.

64. just talking will not fight corruption,mr banda himself must stop corruption then others will follow and it will be easier for him to fight corruption.But as thngs stand I fully doubt his ability to do that.just recall what happened during the elections,do you think he can change from that,maybe who knows.
