THE Forum for Leadership Search and the New Generation Party (NGP) have called on the Government to immediately drop Task Force on Corruption prosecutor, Mutembo Nchito, saying his stay at the Task Force will allegedly compromise investigations at the defunct Zambian Airways.
Forum for Leadership Search executive director, Edwin Lifwekelo and NGP president, Humphrey Siulapwa made the call at a joint Press briefing in Lusaka yesterday.
Mr Lifwekelo said Mr Nchito’s stay at the Task Force on Corruption would compromise investigations by the law-enforcement agencies at Zambian Airways where he was also a director.
“Our concern, members of the Press and the implication of this is that his role as Task Force prosecutor is under spotlight and being compromised.
“We are afraid that the probe that has been instituted will be undermined by Mutembo Nchito as long as he remains the Task Force prosecutor,” he said.
Mr Lifwekelo said Mr Nchito, as chief executive officer of Zambian Airways, was being accused of allegedly using Zambian Airways as a vehicle to defraud and steal public funds from banks and State institutions.
Mr Lifwekelo said Mr Nchito’s free interaction with law-enforcement agencies should be curtailed by removing him from the Task Force on Corruption.
“It is a fact that Mutembo Nchito is connected to top investigators in the country who are under his direct authority, and during this investigation, officials will be having difficulties to keep facts under the lid as key investigation findings are being leaked to The Post Newspapers,” he said.
The Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) and the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) have instituted a probe into the financial irregularities surrounding the collapse of Zambian Airways.
Mr Lifwekelo said his organisation and others would today petition Vice-President and Justice Minister, George Kunda to have Mr Nchito removed from the Task Force as prosecutor.
He said the debt the airline had accrued should not be politicised and that President Rupiah Banda should not be accused of having a hand in the downfall of Zambian Airways, which started experiencing problems even when the late president, Levy Mwanawasa was alive.
And Mr Siulapwa said his party supported President Banda’s stance on the need for Zambian Airways to repay the money it owes various institutions, including the Government.
Mr Siulapwa said according to the information that the party had, Zambian Airways owed Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) US$2 million, National Pensions Schemes Authority (Napsa) $2.5 million, National Airports Corporations Limited (NACL) $2.5 million and Finance Bank $ 6.3 million.
He said other named creditors were owed $9.5 million, Intermarket Banking Corporation $1.5 million, Bravo Capital $1 million, Investrust Bank $1 million and the employees, bringing the total debt to $29 million.
He said if the directors of the company were found culpable, the law should take its course.
He said only legitimate organisations responsible for dealing with criminal matters should be allowed to handle and investigate the Zambian Airways saga. Mr Nchito could not be reached for a comment.
Mr Siulapwa also said his party was in support of the tribunal set up to investigate Communications and Transport Minister, Dora Siliya over the awarding of the contract to RP Capital to evaluate Zamtel assets.

Just about Right
There is a conflict of interest. I have met Nchito he seems a down to earth man. But he is got to be relieved or it will compromise the confidence of the public.
The man should have jumped before being pushed, as evident. I still have high confidence n his abilities though…
Easy guys… I am afraid I see the foot of the political engineer in all this. He wants to dribble us again. The noose is tightening around his neck now he wants to smear a very genuine and honest lawyer who has made tremendous contributions to this country’s fight against corruption. I know Mutembo personally and people need to know that he is beyond these shenanigans. He has never publicly commented on these issues because he is a man of integrity and he answers only to his God. Courage brother Nchito. Do not stumble. You have a Friend that sticks closer than a brother.
How does it feel to face the “law” now Mutembo eh….I bet you must be $hyting in your pants now………..Hope you are taking lessons on ‘How not to drop your soap’ in the slammer….Heheheheheehe!!!!
I totally agree.
No please big no, silupa you are a dirty chap
Chicago, please understand that the problem at hand is that ZA has engaged in unqusetionable conduct, so whether Siulapwa is dirty or not, ZA management has to explain where they took government money and how they were able to get it in the first place. the other issue is that under common company law a company and its shareholders are different entities, unless so expressed by the directors giving personal guarentees to get loans for the company like the case is now, so whether or not you have taken a bath, mutembo has to explain.
u are right. mutembo and fred have to explain. and i think investigations will be difficult to conduct with mutembo in the office as prosecutor.
Who cares . it will be very hard to prove acse of bankruptcy!! Ba kowse imwe
YOU A REAL GOAT…NO WONDER
sir, language pls. we in a civilised world now.
luaska times, why do you hate Mutembo
Why delete my good postings DEATH to Siul and Viva Mutembo
whether or not you or i die, ZA will still owe US$29million, the sooner you understand this the better, we a zambians must learn to look at things objectively, it was not political for ZA to borrow money. why should it be polical when it comes to paying. no one hate the nchitos when they were borrowing, why should they be hated when they are asked to pay back, let us exercise maturity in our approach to issues that afect the entire country.
Abaiche aba bayamba ukusabaila
Those two characters are still newsworth.Zambia yasila but
its very true,investigations will not be a success if the pipo involved are under Mutembo’s authority.
Begining of another drama series.
I understand the problem of Siulapwa after all his troubles and scandles towards 2008 elections
Now I believe that RB is a corrupt man. They are trying to remove Mutembo Nchito so that Kafupi and his tandem of theives go scot free. LPM must be turing in his grave. The POST were right about Nyama Soya. Twa chula
we should understand that if kafupi was corrupt, he will be judged likewise by the court, if nyama soya is corrupt, he will also be judged likewise, but for now serious allegations have been raised against the nchito’s, the same way that they have been urging others to be given chance to prove themselves, the nchito’s must not ask and expect anything less. everydog has its day, the only thing is that day seems to have come a bit early for ZA.
Dora Siliya, this whole corruption fight was a mess from inception. Corruption has been around since the time of moses but LPM convinced us that it came and ended with Chiluba. if LPM meant to fight corruption why did he restrict it to Chilubas term of office. iam not sayng the fight should stop but that it should include everyone before, during and after chilubas term. all those enganged in suspicious activities from RB to Maurine including Membe, Siliya and Nchito should be investigated and brought to book if found wanting.
Zambia, Zambia! cry my beloved Country
I support you The blackman’s child. This country has now gone to the dogs!!! How much more can really take.Everything around us just falling apart.
I support you guys.why not also demand for the step down of Dora
I support the idea totally. If a thorough investigation is to be done let Mutembo step down from the task force. By far such developments take so much from the confidence that the Zambians have bestowed on the officers prosecuting the cases on corruption. Pa first baku church, ba gladys nyirongo, very vocal on issues of corruption, even went to south africa leading a delegation to a gathering on corruption, but ukwisa dabwa fye ati yaluka she wasnt any different from those she was insulting and castigating. And now mutembo nankwe aluleta. If he is a man with morality let him step down or else…………..
MMD caders!
Its just an observation from my own opinion i smell fishy,Siulapwa is up to sumthing from RB .
i think he was paid up by kafupi,
Siluyapwa you are finished. Your political career is in taturs. Remember you associated yourself with RB in the last election. Why cant you tell RB to drop Dora first whose case is so clear. For me i cant take yo serious. You are are joker. Shame on You boy!!!!!!!!!!!!
True ! this Siulapwa ,which thing is this ? the niga must go to the dogs.
Why talk of nchito as if is the sole owner of za let him stay in the tusk force. Its not only the tusk force that are probing za even other org are doing so. If i may ask who is more directly involved, dora in zamtel and rp or mutembo in za obvious we know the ans thats dora. We know you want to remove nchito so that some of the cases on corruption can be droped. Ewe ka siulapwa you are just a useless opposition bootliker of rb rememba you supported mmd at the mendevu rally leav mutembo and the post out of this za issue its a company not an individual
i gree with # 19 totally
Nchito has been accused of usind ZA as a conduit to syphone money from banks. When the case goes to court will it be fare for Nchito to prosecute himslef. how will he be a defendant and a prosecutor at the same time? He must step down simple. As for Dora there is no case against her in court, a tribunal is not a trial? By the way can someone tell me the Law under Single sourcing, limited selection or open Bid that Dora has broken. By the way the tribunal has opened today and if you have any legally obtained evidence please take it there now so that you dont cry faul when the recommendations are done.
Engenes please… I think you are not impartial. You are pro Siliya at the least… I would be happy to see both Nchito and Siliya suspended of their duties and here is why… You say there is no case against Siliya, they are alarm bells all around her, scientifically and in accounting terms. That raises enough suspicion to suspend and not expell her in order investigate the matter. How does Dora request RP Capital to value Zamtel without the boads concern?? Anyone in their right minds would question that and for that reason only is good enough to suspend her and investigate. You Engines are the people we fear once in power because you cannot see plain truth.
It makes good business sense to investigate the matter and eventually have a case for her to answer in court. How else do you do it Engines.. It is the right procedure as she has been found wanting in all circles as a result of the breach. If I may ask you, from your argument, Siliya is right to dissolve Zamtel boad without reason given, and that she is right to wield power unquestioned are you joking? If we are going to run the country like that, we are all burning our rubbers “Siliya is not dissolving these boards in national interest. She is doing it in personal interests as well as Rupiah Banda’s interests.” If government allows for her suspension to investigate the I rescind my…
Agree with Nyangu, we do not suspend Dora though she is under investigation and in a position of influence. Then we ask the police to investigate the Ministry of Home Affairs (ie their bosses) for payments to MMD (the ulimate bosses – remeber who appoints the IG) We must apply justice fairly and not emotionally. By the way if the ZA case goes to court it is process through the police service of course he would not persecute himself but he can defend him self. Lets stick to the facts
Engines i think you are missing a point here our Dora didnt follow simple procedures(internal) which any honest person i ssuppose to. Transparency is cadinal especially if you are handling public money. As for Mutembo Nchito, we know he has work very well in prosecting these suspected cases of corruption.Engine cant you see that there is something fishy going on. Remember FTJ campained for RB in the last election. So RB is under pressure to pay FTJ back!!!!!!
Nyangu. If there is evidence that Dora abused her authority why dint the post or harrington go strait to the courts of law to obtain a sermon. they instead decided to go for a tribunal literally asking the court to look for evidence. to me this constitutes witch hunting because if you dont have evidence why ask the courts to look for it. if RB fires Dora then anybody against anyone in the ministry would simply ask for a tribunal so that that person is droped. remember the case of Mulyata, the man was lebeled a villain and droped frm his position. when the courts aqiuted him Membe never even published the verdict or even apologise to mulyata.
I believe you don’t know that Mutembo was the Chief Executive as well as shareholder of ZA. Don’t you think that gets him really involved in the investigation? We zambians lack objwctivity and this always turns us into parrots when there is amanipulator like Fred Mumembe.
We know that these guys the company they were running had financial irregulaties,but we should be too personal on them please.Let the law take its course!
These guys are just MMD cadres under the guise of some ka ngo and ka political party just like Kelvin Sampa.
mutembo is very innocent . he is just a victim of the good work he is going to us the people of zambia.RB wants to stop the procecution of chiluba and others by frustrating one of the main state prosecutors . this just confirms the fears that some people had about ruphiar’s corrupt behavior during last year’s corruption. its only corrupt people who support corrption and rupiah is definently one of such people. i am very worried for zambia coz this man is going to reverse all the successes this country has recorded as far as the fight against corruption is concerned. this will also result in loss of investor confidence.LESA TWALOMBA TWAFYENI PACHIMUNTU ICHI TWAPAPATA.
the biggest problem in this issue actually has not been RB or the Nchito’s, it has been the post trying to mislead and politicise a purely business arrangement, and they have managed to bring it down to personalities. in the ZA issue, the most culpable are the shareholders and directors, they should have gone to government to lobby for favorable loan repayment terms, as against the post declaring war on the same pipo that would have assisted them. as a thief, you do not break into a house, when the house owner shoots you, you complain that he is inhumane. country men and women, why the double standards.
Bobcat you are very right but you miss the underlying problem with zambians. Chilufya Sata and his people can not adjust to the fact that RB won the election and the next one is in 2011. They support Mmembe’s misleading articles because this gives them a chance to continue the fight against RB. For them the campaign has not ended. RB has not stoped any of the corruption trials at all. In fact the convincions have increased under RB. But they continue to accuse him of imaginery crimes because Mmembe says so.
Hello bloggers, I hope you all had a lovely weekend. This case is getting complicated.
Justice is a vice without passion, the nchito brothers and the post are the toucn bearers to this corruption fight. This is very good and commendable. however, they do not have any imunity for any crime that they may commit including money laundering or graft. please Mr siulapya and lifwekelo go on with your petition we are behind you. those that live in glass hopuses must not throw stones, Corruption has been there since the times of Moses, it is therefore absurd to suggest that in zambia it came and ended with Chilubas term in office. Please Zambian lets fight corruption without restricting to those that served in Chilubas Govnt.
i totally agree with Engines, if i expose a crime or i make sure a criminal is locked up, it does not mean that i must commit a crime. the post has been insulting RB and Dora. they have not made mention exactly how much money ZA is owing and how they accrued this debt and how they intend to pay it back. this is not political, but rather the post trying to force the government not to collect what is due just because they have an interest in ZA. let us be fair to all parties, let us not be misled by an intrested party just because they have an interest to serve, fellow country men and women, let us be on guard.
Its not necessary! why didnt they call for the removal of Dora siliya as well!? It all shows that these guys were paid!
ba humprey just stick to lotus bar were u have been for the last 7 years doin what u do best, drinking beer and having no dream. 15million yapwa apapene?????what losers,u think people have time to listen to yo nonsense……..LMFAO
Do these two have even half brains, trust me there’s something seriously wrong with these gentlemen. Nangu ninsala nifi. Sometimes i feel embarrassed to be called a Zambian. I wonder what foreigners(not africans) think about us when the read our newspapers.
Oh, no, we know you chaps. You always talk nothing. Are you being used by Chiluba. You have had silly calls in the past and we cant forget you. FTJ at work.
Sorry to say but i feel God should allow some people to rest, balecushya abantu bakwe.
Xtramature,cana you 100% collect.its true you are matured.You know this people always forget one thing.Bembas say icilipamunobe ecili napali iwe.And if you dont want to for in someones trap you have to be clean.Now as the situation is whats the difference between Mutembo and CHILUBA, SINGONGO,NYIRONGO the chap must just step down.Fili eko tuleya wesu.
Wesu Nandibo ilyo elyashi cana!! Being double dealing has never worked.Atleast Singogo ena talecita prosecute abanankwe of the same feather. Naibipa bakamba abana ZED nabafulwa nomba,careful!!!!!!!!!!
Why not Dora too, then you know who paid them.
The history of the Tribunal is that there is no need to resign over what may be fake allegations. If the Tribunal finds Dora with a case to answer she will be dropped as the case will go to trial. This is what has happened before when tribunals have been held.
This was just a bad investment, why are pipo making it political? As if ZA had forced people to lend it money? It was destined to fall, how can a lawyer run an aviation company? Dull invtestors … why not get some1 with a business pedigree e.g. capt Mulundika, Hachipuka, etc. A prosecutor … ????
Miyoba, for your information there was a qualified muzungu running za but Mutembo chucked him out due to greedniness.
All the government needed to do is bail out Zambian Airways. Can’t we for this once follow what the progressive nations are doing-bailing out companies which are vital to their economies . By the way, its not wrong for Mutembo Nchito to borrow money from Banks. Wake up Zed & please don’t allow yourselves to be misled by lumpens like Siulapwa & Lifwekelo
joesaks you are ill informed. Even in America they cant bail-out a company that is not listed on the stock market and has more liabilities that assets. its not wrong for mutembo to borrow but its wrong to fail to pay back the loan refuse to go into voluntery bancrapcy simple. All Nchito has to do is declare himself bancrapt then the loans will be cancelled but he will have to face the consequencies, that will be enough punishment to deter would be offenders.
Engines, i agree with you, ZA as a company has its’ own limited liability, when it fails to pay back, let it declare likewise. progressive country’s are bailing out national and semi national airlines not private airlines. BA is a private airline, that is why the british government has not offered to assist, as is the case for ryanair who want to be charging for using the loo. so if these 2 airlines want assistance, they should come up with a proper proposal as against getting money using aeroplanes they don’t even own. this is criminal behaviour pure and simple.
Braaaahh…………………………………………………………
Zambia and its selective justice, lets start by removing dora from her position before we talk about nchito. We always say time will tell but I guess our political leaders have taken us for granted for too long while they continue to live in luxuaries. I wish I knew what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no basis for removing dora from office because there is no trial currently going on against her and the posibilities of a full trial are almost non.what is there is only a tribunal which very different from at a trial. this tribunal will depend on the evidence that you the citizens will volunterily submit to the tribunal from today. As for the Nchito’s there is an allegation soon going to court for money laundering and abtaining money by false pretences and Nchito can not be the accused and at the same time be the prosecutor of the same case against himself thats why he must immediately step down.
I agree with my dear husband!
Something terribly wrong with you Engine. Be objective and face reality. No one is disputing the fact that ZA had borrowed the said money and in addition the accumulated so much debt. However, the financial forensic investigation being conducted is to determine as to whether monies were misappropriated to the directors benefits. Kindly note that some of their monthly outgoing as ZA was the payment of the aircraft lease of $77,000, coupled by the high fuel price bill it does not take a genious to see how the money could have been spent. Anyhow, lets wait and see what the investigators come up with. As for Mutembo resigning from Prosecutor, fat chance as FTJ is not going to slip away free
Anonymous the $77,000 you are talking about was surpose to come from daily revenues and not loans because this was a continuous payment with no end as it was a lease charge.The charge against Nchito is declaring collateral for the purpose of ZA loans knowing fully well that the declared collaterall is not property of ZA;Collecting money from ususpecting people as departure fees purpoting that the money is remmited to NAC when infact not;obtaining loans from banks purporting that the said money shall be invested in ZA when infact the said money was to be shared amoung shareholders;personally evalauting 2 planes to be used as collateral for loans knowing fully well that he is not an evaluator
Siulap is a con man.He has a party for hire and he pretends to be in the opposition.People should ask how he earns a living.He is failed business man who spends most of his time in town drinking in cheap bars.He drinks from dawn to dusk and he wants to be a president someday?Shame on you siulap, you are a useless cheat!!
Chiluba is already appearing in court and defending his case. Some blogger has objectively commented that at the time of borrowing there were no politics involved. Why then should politics come in at the time of paying back. Just as chiluba should prove his innocence the same should apply to mutembo. Although iam not a symphasizer of Siulapwa and his party. I have a feeling he is talking sense this time around.
it is not rocket science that when one borrows, one must pay back, no matter how much you insult siulapwa, in case you have not been following, siulapwa has not been mentioned anywhere in the ZA scandal. what this means is that he is not involved period. there again we are trying to move ourselves from the issue at hand, and that issue is that ZA is owing, even if god forbid, all the involved parties die, the dedt will still have to be paid. let us not drag pipo’s names’ into the mud for no apparent reason, don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.
Bobycat, it appears you are outlining the borrowing conducted at Chamboli market. In financial markets there is bankruptcy (I am sure you have heard of the term before). At times business does fail and you may not be able to pay off your debts from the assets you hold. As I understand it, ZA have no asset of their own to speak of that can offset the loan that they have. The lending was not based on financial viability but political so as to have an indigenous Airline afloat – in a way replacing Zambia Airwas as we knew it. LPM, BOZ Governor, Minster of Finance would have given these signals and thus lenders obliged.
Anonymous, my point has been that ZA as a limited company can borrow from any body or any institution as long as they borrow for the right reason and use the right collateral. when they realised that they were in ploblems, they should have gone back to their lenders to explain themselves, it was not for the post to begin insulting Dora, ZA should have explained themseleves period. now because of the post even the pipo or government that should have assisted will not do that but instead foreclose on the loans, yet we still want to blame Dora and RB.
These guys must think were are really stupid. We can see through you guys better than X-ray
Mr Sialupwa. Dont let your micky mouse party to destroy the fight against corruption.
Hellow bloggers!
I know Nchito to be a man of impeccable honest and integrity.However,his biggest mistake was to go into partnership with M’membe.And the way things are,looks like nchito has fallen out of favour by the current corrupt leadership of RB where the likes of Dora are protected for her alleged misdeeds and others are blamed.Sad stuation.
Let these ZA criminals not suffer also.Chiluba stopped shrtages and kept this country safe for ten years.Then you have these tuma greed chaps.let mutembo hang
As for Siulapwa,the man is a political failure.He will do anything to win favour from the current govt.The man is on record have poured accolades on Levy just to get some favours and iam not shocked by his comments.He is an opportunist.
Sharp Shooter, as i keep on saying, we must not loose sight of the problem and its origin, whether siulapwa is a failure is neither here nor there, he may be a failure but right now he has no criminal allegations against him. for his failures, he can only answer to himself, whereas if anyone has criminal allegations, they have to answer to the law. let us keep it clear and simple. those who commit crime must be punished. an allegation is not proof of wrong doing, let us apply these pricipals fairly.
Then can Siulapa also go and petition Govt over Tazara which owes varius institutions over $700m.
Ba Mudala Ba Sharp Shooter
Long time,where wenze you? Iam blessed by your presence.Have a great time,Blog with you later I have been white washed by Economics Test.
Greetings to everyone Here.
Bye for Now
Matworld.
” No law exists that compels mutembo to step down, and when in the past this happened, no one ever stepped down to pave way for investigations…” i thought people you heard when your most educated and respected lawyers said something like this recently…..theres alot of short sightedness in zed. whats the difference btn Dora & Mutembo in influencing investigations???? if Dora, had set that precedence, i would have listened to these chaps yapping. people someone is at work …RB & friends think zedians are duller than them…
nchito has to explain his dealings.
Most bloggers think the Case of Dora came earlier than the ZA copllapse and its all because of Membe misleading the very unimformed zambian public. The ZA issue started even before RB was adopted as president. The post attempted to blackmail him into submission by a massive campaign in the editorials, unfortunately the tactic dint work on a sleepy experienced diplomat. They then brought corruption issues dating back to the 80s in Munali, brought his relationships with Savimbi and his weaknesses with women but to no avail. for those that have followed theese things revelations about Dora are just last kicks of a dying Horse dont you wonder why harrington asked for a tribunal and not a trial.
Engine, you are a myopic cockcroach! People in power abuse the system and all you can say is ZA is to blame. Grow up boy. There is nothing sinister about a company failing. In countries like the US you can go into Chap. 11 bankruptcy so that you straighten out your financials. In Zambia, you go bankrupt and the whole, entire President comes after you. Meanwhile, he is busy kuchekelako with his ministers. Engine, they can do this becoz they know that you are too dim to catch them.
what type of cockroach is he, kitchen or a sceptic tank one?
Angel, please learn that no matter how much insults you post on this blog, the answer to the problem at hand lies with ZA explaining what exactly happened. ZA should have filed for bankruptcy and asked the government to assist. instead of doing this, the post(being an interested party) begins calling RB and Dora corrupt, and these are the same pipo who would have come to assist. like wise if im asking for a lift from you and your car is not clean, it would be wise for me not a say a word. the post cannot insult Dora and RB, and when they decide to hold ZA accountable you want to call engine myopic. let us be objective and bite the bullet.
Angel whats your point? can you tell me a company in USA that is not listed on the stock exchange, has more liabilities than assets and was bailed out? lets have facts my dear dont let Membe convince you that you can win an argument through bad language and populist views. lets debate facts dear.
Angel, you dont deserve this name. How on earth can u say there is nothing sinister about a complany failing? Directors of ZA were borowing taxpayers money on the pretext that they are using it for business when infact it was going into thier pockects. Annd you think for thisthey can aplly for buckruptc! only in your imagination
Its monday morning by the clock in amsterdam ,plus I got no one to impress, but I strive to be the best ,the Undefined neglects any average mediocre
using all these simple bloggers as a chauffer.yesterday I spent my day so,
today let me first pray , then I will lay low, looking for the halo
Or more yayo.No comments on Mutembo cause he is my main man.Am goin for bike pedaling
to the nature spot, to taste the flavors they got,I hope my eyes wont drop, cause I like it alot..
Look at how promising young Zambians are being persecuted instead of being encouraged in business…jealousy!! No wonder zambians abroad are doing better than those who’re patriotic and have openned up businesses in Zambia. These two are on RBs payroll no doubt, they seem to support any rubbish in favor of RB. God will fight Mutembo’s battle for him..we’re praying, wait and see!!
Mama G, with all the good intentions, the nchito’s have some explaing to do, if they were in a foreign country and they enganged in this type of behaviour, they would surely be behind bars by now. the fact that they started a very good business does not give them immunity to commit crime. they have pulled a lot of pipo into this mess. DBZ has refused to comment on this issue because they know the implications. the post should have been professional enough not to take a purely business matter and report on it by giving only one side of the story. the other side is coming out, watch this space.
Which foreign country will jail the Ncito’s based on allegations of Money Laundering? If you mean to say, prosecutors would gather sufficient evidence to warant the charge being presented to the accused then yes. However, stop telling lies or misrepresenting facts. DBZ or indeed any other bank can not make any comment on private lending. It is like a Medical Doctor would not divulge any information to a third party. These are simple ethics followed by professional institutions. Stop peddling lies
Anonymous, getting a loan against 2 aircrafts that are not yours is outright criminal behaviour, borrowing money for reinvestment and then squandering it is also criminal. my point on DBZ etc., is that BOZ is investigating DBZ because of lending money against banking regulations. the post (self appointed spokes paper for ZA) should also explain how ZA was able to con DBZ to get money, as against them telling that Dora and RB are corrupt without giving any evidence. the post should learn to tell the story as it is, not as they want it to be. professional ethics also entail the post not to give the public half truths but the whole truth.
these guys may have been involved in malpractice, as mach as we dont condone irregularities, lets not be too personal Fellow zambian,.
IF U WANT MUTEMBO TO RESIGN TO PAVE WAY FOR INVESTIGATIONS ,THEN DORA SHUD FOLLOW SUIT TO BALANCE THE PENDULUM.NOW THE GAME HAS JUST BEGUN.
Ba Matworld mudala wandi!
Long time.How are you?Wish you success in your exams.Iam all good.Isukulufye lyakakana.
Sharp Shooter
Where have you been?
Ba engine lets look at the whole issue of za not only the person we luv or hate. Siulapwa what gd can he say ova za where you their when they had that rally in mandevù that chap is useless and with his big mouth cant rule either a dog or rat. Nchito is a person who needs to be appruaded in his works in bringing corrupt people to book weather you know it or not that ka siulapwa is being used by the ruling party just to make noise and wave your attention to something else. You can read between the lines that his speeck was written by a sponsor
A crime is a crime it doesnt matter who reports it. If nchito syphoned money from banks with ZA as a conduit and further using collateral that does not belong to him to obtain loans from banks then he must be tried in the courts. forget siulapwas charecter my dear the fact is Nchito can not be a prosecutor against himself, he cant be a task force prosecutor prosecuting graft cases involving himself. let him step down. By the way breaking news he is likely to resign before next week.
You are such an informed chap and all you say is sensible and factual, well done for sharing your knowledge and intelligence to some of us!!
Do these 2 young men have relatives to advise them/ They are not different from ZMT Zulu at the height of 3rd term campains. Its sad that leaders only want to hear the sweet talk thus openning themselves to manipulations.

Elo lwanya !
LWATI NA PWIIIIIIIIIIIIII,from Dora to Mutembo this chaps must resign to aloow investigation.by the way they can get free advise from Maiko Zulu.He has got some insight of what happens in prisons.as for Chiluba i dont think he wiil be joined by this chaps.The man is smart.
George Kunda has already set a presidence. He failed to remove Dora from office so there’s no law that allows Mutembo Nchito to be removed from his current position according to George.
Mutembo is free to continue his duties not until the findings proof otherwise.
These two guys are just chatter boxes who are job seekers. Go home and take care of your families if you have nothing to tell the Nation than waiting people’s time.
Persecution is a tribute the great must always pay for preeminence
The evil that we do does not attract to us so much persecution and hatred as our good qualities

Dear Zambians, let us not loose focus, ZA is the company with the problem, and because of this, institutions like DBZ, Investrust, Intermarket, BOZ, ministry of finance, ZRA, NAPSA etc are being investigated. if the management of ZA had been doing the right things, we would not have this wide ranging investigation going on. this may prove to be the biggest investigation this country has ever seen. so dragging these 2 gentlemen into the mud will not resolve the main issue at hand, and the issue being the questionable behaviour of ZA management and the attempt by the post to hoodwink the zambians. very shamefull on the part of the post.
The investigation of the various institutions on ZA is politically motivated with Nyama Soya wanting to fix Mmembe and Ncito. At the same time, it is too distract attention from Dora, the maize saga and Zamtel where his sons are allegedly involved in under hand methods. The net is closing up on Sugar daddy. Before long he will be crying as he resigns in National Interest
Anonoymous, you should appreciate that from the time that the post wrote about RBs sons being in cahoots, no one has requested for a tribunal nor has anyone reported to the relevant authorities to seek redress. just like Harrington did, and now Eddie and Siulapwa, you are also able to request that RB’s sons are investigated. it will not do for you to sit and accuse pipo without evidence just because the post says so. let us encourage Harrington or any other person including yourself to request for an investigation, no just to say that the post has spoken the truth, we are all human prone to error.
The Two leaders of obscure organisations are living by their name and earing it: MMD BOOTLICKERS or LACKEYS. The contradict themselves. They are calling for the removal of Mutembo Nchito as can interfere as they claim with the investigations but on the other hand fail to call for Dora to be relieved, suspended as can also interfere. Bootlickers have no morals and have minute / little manners. I’m not suprized, infact they have commented late, maybe money was not single sourced on time to pay them to Yap.
ANOTHER ZED MINE TO CLOSE: JOHANNESBURG – The trading halt requested on Friday by African nickel miner Albidon highlights the devastating and ongoing hammering being taken by so many mining companies, aggravated, as in Albidon’s case, by a severe lack of standing capital or cash. The pain at Albidon is compounded by exposure to one of the most damaged of commodity prices. Dollar nickel prices are looking for fresh six year lows, having declined from highs of around USD 25/lb during 2007 to current levels of some USD 4.33/lb. CITIZEN’S These are Problems NyamaSoya should solve not emotions as exibited on thursday when he fired his two d/ministers. Misplaced wasted energy.
I have mentioned on this blog that Japan’s industrial output will drop by 10% this year and will be the biggest drop since records began. South Africa will grow by 1% and Botswana the biggest diamid producer in the world has closed one whole diamod mine. Mr. Mputyu you will be glad to know that inspite of this global crisis Zambia will post 4.4% groth this year the highest in the region by IMF estimates. Tell me what are you really saying. Are you so confused by the loss of Sata in the elections that you want to blame RB for the global melt down.
Ba Kamutanda, the IMF projection are not set in stone. At the time when they did the estimates no mines had closed down and the Zambian budget had not even been prepared. Already Musokotwane (The weak Minister of Finance) has given in to the MPs call for an increase to CDF money to K1 billion per MP, and this was not budgeted for. On what basis is Zambia going to grow if the main sector that contributes to all previous growth is mine related and they are now all down sizing? Think through things and not just quote what you read. The present global market scenario is extremely fluid and assumptions made a minute ago could all be changed.
60.1 I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. BUT IMF FIGURES ARE NOTHING IF THEY WONT TRANSLATE INTO JOBS & IMPROVED LIVING STANDARDS OF ZAMBIANS. THAT GROWTH WILL SURELY BENEFIT FOREIGNERS AS MORE THAN 60% OF OUR ECONONY IN THE HANDS OF FOREIGNERS & FOREIGN COMPANIES. I HAVE SAID IT SATA IS USEFUL AS OPPOSITION SAFE GUARD, BRAVE & TALKS4U & ME, A REAR BREED. WITHOUT SUCH & MORE OTHERS MMD COULD EASILY DISTROY THIS COUNTRY.THERE ARE UN NECESSARY JOB LOSSES GOING ON NOTHING TO DO WITH WORLD ECONOMIC CRUNCH, NO MINE IS MAKING A LOSS AS OF NOW, SO RB MUST STEP IN.
Spot on. Unfortunately, Nyama Soya is so immersed in his anger to get at Mmembe and team for revealing the corrupt practices of his Government
No.59. My brother, we are in trouble to have majority of citizens who cant click with real issues. Even Zaire is much better. Thinking capacity of people too low.
Edwin and Humphrey are RB’s men! Quiet on Dora but vocal on Nchito! However, the correct stance on both Dora and Nchito is that, they should step Down as both their positions will compromise the inevestigations.
there is in law what is called reasonable doubt, what the post has done is to bring out all the negatives on Dora to warrant reasonable doubt against her. the correct picture is that Dora may not be competent to handle all issues, but criminal intent on her part has not been established, hence the reluctance to put her on forced leave. mutembo got a loan from a bank using the 2 aircrafts as collateral, meanwhile knowing fully well that they are not his property. clearly criminal intent can be seen right from the start, to make matters worse he is a lawyer who is trained to guard against these same types of bahaviour.
No I disagree democratically. My view is the same as #62. Both should step down on moral grounds (hoep they have morals). Once cleared if they do, they can be re-appointed and we shall have a nice precedent as well for lawyers to refer to. Also the people concerned will come out with their intergrity intact. why can’t they step down? Zambia is not short of leaders that can take over, no one is indespensible and more so those accused with serious crimes like these.
Bobycat, you are full of ……….”Dora may not be competent to handle all issues” is the greatest understatement. Her boss has already confirmed that she is the most intelligent person and everyone else is talking nonsense. Criminal intent on Dora’s side is the “Abuse of Office”, for which Pastor Nyirongo was sentenced to 4 years imprisonment, so what are you talking about when you say “no criminal intent on Dora? I know at times we all like to hear our voices and contribute even on matters that we are not competent on. Stop for your own sake
i agree with Mpangula Mputyu and Anonymous, if both have moral thsy must step down to give chance for invstigations, the biggest problem is that like most cases involving high profile individuals in this country, the post always wants to try them in the court of public opinion, the same way that the post has called for Dora to step aside is the same way they should be calling for mutembo to step aside, but we have all seen that the post has exhibited biased reporting. thanx for the correction. i do hope the post shall give us the details as the tribunal gets underway.
BA ANGEL no need to call ENGINE names the man is at least debating inteligently,but the problem is most have been missled by MEEMBE,just look at there language its pure post.my advise is watch out ,dont be like mutembo the young man was doing fine until Meembe came into his bussiness and everything started stinking and that was before our beloved LPM left us.
Zambians, we must realise that Dora is a bystander form the accusers right through to the convenors of the tribunal, while mutembo is right in the thick of the pipo who are supposed to investigate him. it is on public record that the nchito’s had offered to prosecute the plunder cases for free, but they have been collecting ZMK5billion plus almost every year, they have not won a single case and now being lawyers they decide to defraud zambia as a country. Dora has allegations of wrong doing, the nchito’s have allegations bordering on criminality. let us call a spade a spade.
Bobcat, we are calling a spade a spade. Both are accused of having comitted a crime, hence both are being accused of being criminals. There is no lesser sin and bigger sin, all sins are sins and all crimes are comitted by criminals. period.
I DONT COMMENT ON SUCH ISSUES AS MY COMMENTS LAND ON DIRTY DEAF EARS OF THIS GOVT, WHY HAVENT THE SAME LEADERSHIP FORUM FIMOFIMO REQUESTED FOR DORA SILIYAS REMOVAL? ALA WE ARE ALL EQUAL DNT FAVOR OTHERS, GOD IS WATCHING AND ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. MEANWHILE MY CHILDREN ON LT HW R U? MUMMY WENT STRAIGHT IN2 A MEETING,MY LAST BORN DOTA CHANSA,I HAVENT SEEN YO TWIN WATS UP?
Where is the justice of political power if it executes the lawyers and does not jail the plunderer , and then itself marches upon neighboring lands, killing thousands and pillaging the very hills
Any way no one above the law,Mutembo must be prosecuted more cause he is aware of the very law he has been using on others,the penitentiary is callin on him,no sympathy,let him be suspended to probe way for investigations, he tried to bring down the thug family ,now its pay back,pay the don FTJ,I know he is smiling tossing some ginger ale and vodka plus some cuban links,the makavelle of Zed,he faked his illness to f**L his enemies,long live FTJ
I have learned something from several contributions here but I don’t get any sense in your postings. Just scattered, patched up irrelevant recitals- the same goes for #57 and #45!
“be suspended to probe way for investigations”Be serious my friend!
hate or love me it wont change or add to my statue,you are like your father the devil,full of hate yet you claim you are christian you d*c eater.Ya mama a B*tch.
Is that okey with you Three 0r Nine Chale,maybe you still need some more,you will be the reason LT will ban me again,its war,until your a*s begs for mercy.
Nine Chale you are still smelling my sperm on your membrane,if only she never squitted early
she was busy begging for more,but she wasnt good anyway,so I left a b*tch for another nigga now you call daddy
Po po po po ,thats ma only defence I gat am insane with a stain on my brain,I know you feel me on this one,this now makes you glad,and the rest of your crew is now learning from you,your now dead,funeral service will be announced tomorrow,am out
the main issue with RP capital and Dora is that, zamtel is in debt to the tune of US$125million, whether or not Dora is fired the debt still has to be paid. failure to agree to accept legal asdvise does not constitute a crime. what the post should have dwelt upon was why zamtel has such a huge debt and why Dora ignored advice, it was not for the post to insinuate and conclude that Dora is corrupt for refusing to accept legal advise. the post should have tackled the reason behind the refusal not for them the pass on their opinion of Dora as the gospel truth.
Thats the point Bobcat. it seems that post has managed to confuse people and divert attention from the biggest scandal zambia is yet to see.if the post and harrington has evidence of Doras abuse of authority why dint they go strait to anti corruption or DEC? They decided to go for a tribunal, that is literally asking the court to find evidence against Dora for them. if you dont have evidence against someone wouldnt it be witch hunting to ask the courts to find such evidence? And some people are sayng she should be droped have we forgoten about what happened to Mulyata? after being droped and locked Membe was happy but when he was aquited he never published the verdict nor did he apologise.
Bobbycat and Engine, the Attorney Generals advise when given must be taken and acted on. even if it is called “advise” meaning one has the prerogative to take the advise or not, is not applicable as at all times it is like a command of what must be done. Simply put, advise is used politely or diplomatically but in real essence it is a command thus no Minister or Government official can ignore the Attorney Generals advise. For your own information, that is why the Attorney General as the rank of a Full Cabinet Minister. I repeat, stop peddling lies and stick to the facts. You may call The Post all sorts of names but without them democracy in Zambia is dead. Without the info they give no…
Bane lets stop this nonsense Mutembo is a prosecutor for the task force Zambian Airways is being investigated by by ACC, Police and DEC these organs are separate from the Task Force. So I do not see how Mutembo can possibly compromise the autonomous bodies.
I think this culture of condemning people just because someone says they did wrong is not right let them be found guilty then we can cast the first stone.

Spot on
First as a Jerabo, i do like the new look of LT. Now we all know that siulapwa is a finished politician but wat he says here is correct. We know Mutembo is a good guy but but when u are accused like he is, he must resign. This also applies to madam Dora. The standard is the same whether u are green or blue. If he does not, us jerebos will remove him by force. Do i have any jerabo in the house?
No. You are alone. Mutembo is not being investigated for a crime. Zambian Airways is being audited to look at the money it borrowed and how business was done. Dora on the other hand is being investigated for illegal behaviour. She must resign because she is in charge of the witnesses. Task Force is not investigating Mutembo. As CEO, he did not draw a salary from ZA. I do not like the Post, but truth is truth.
“I FEEL LIKE BOMING THE CHURCH” My heart breeds every time i read the news after the death of LPM, the country is now going to the dogs or the dogs have come – its proper rooting!The two boys are not newsworth i agree, but even in the nosense that a mad person says, they could be some grains of sense. A sane man therefore needs to concentrate on the sense. Rooting is back! Africa Commercial Bank, Zambian Airways and Dora siliya should not be let free. Let us know who rooted Zambia’s little thereby sending younths to employment. Younths arise!!!!!
Your anger has polluted your brain and frozen your fingers. Spend a couple of minutes checking your spelling and then click on SUBMIT. There is no hurry. We are waiting and we value your contribution. Have a nice day.
Me i will wait and hear what those institutions who are investigating Zambia airways will find.Because i dont see anything wrong for any organisation to borrow money from the banks in order to invest in the busisness.And thats what Zambia airways did.But if the company collapse is that the fault of M,membe and Mutembo Nchito? If thats the turn of events in Zambia then so many companies that have collapsed should be investigated. Including Namboard and only God knows who the Managing director for Namboard was.
Reconstruct your grammar,Me i,you are truly a kasama boy
or maybe its a Marriage advert,dont be too quick to run miles
wake up guys, You re fighting the battle u dont know. M,membe is your God. U dont think he can make a mistakes. Is he a super Human? think twice, they re using u in these Dora, Za, M,membe and Nchito Saga.
Banks lend money on the basis of the viability of the business. Why do we blame the borrower?
It is important that Nchito is dropped, and another well able lawyer is enganged to continue with the good work that Nchito has been doing.This will give time and space for Nchito and ZA management to explain where they took government money .But this should not come from dirty andcorrupt people like Siulapwa whose hands are not clean,they are stinking corruption ,betrayer of Zambian youth and oppotunism.One will wonder why Siulapwa will only talk about Nchito and nothing about dropping Dora.Does this mean that Siulapwa as the president of non existing political party has failed to see anything wrong with Dora’s deals.
I swear !Syulapwa and his friends dont have any credibility left in them and will do anything to get favours from RnB.This reall irates me
Nchito has nothing to defend as far as Zambian Airways is concerned. The company owes money to creditors as a company and the directors and employees are not individually liable. Why do Zambians pick and choose who to hound and who to let off. Isn’t it true that had the Post (which I personally do not like) not been involved in this, it would not be a big deal? Magande championed the MMD policy of empowering Zambians (carried on from Chiluba, by the way…HelpingOtherPeopletobeEmpowered HOPE foundation). At the commissioning of ZA latest jet, there was a hint of making ZA a national carrier. Money was lost. That is business. Creditors must sue for it. Don’t drag Task Force in it.
The Saint, i agree with you and as i have continually said, the post has misled the public, mmeembe is not a shareholder in ZA, it is the post, it being a company, it can not be arrested. if it proves that it had no illegal dealings, there is no need for the post to be afraid, likewise if they are proved to be at fault and are able to pay their liability, then they have no reason to be afraid. likewise ZA is a limited company, so there is no threat of nchito being arrested. the post must stop this unethical behaviour of arm twisting the public into fighting thier battles by printing half truths. let them explain it from the DBZ, BOZ, Intermarket, Investrust etc., angle.
Nchito and his friends have to defend the charge of using Zambian airways as a conduit to obtain money from both private and public institutions.Nchito must defend the allegation that he used 2 aircrafts as collateral to obtain loans for ZA knowing fully that the planes do not belong to ZA.Nchito has also to defend the allegation that as director, he obtained loans from banks in the name of ZA purpoting to be using the money for reviving ZA when in actual fact the money was shared amoungest the directors and shareholders.Nchito has to defend the charge of personally evaluating the aircrafts for the purpose of getting loans knowing fully that he is not a registered evaluator or quantity surv
The Saint, i agree with you, but it is not the zambians who choose who to hound, it is the post who do this by keeping some aspects of certain issues silent. they have tried on this issue but their plot has been laid bare. the issue is that ZA has to explain itself to the pipo. whether or not mutembo is a director is not the issue. if the post were truly unbiased, why have they not reported squarely on the issue of albidon mines, is it that the jobs of ZA were more precious that those at albidon or those that will be lost should zamtel go under because of the US$125million that it owes.
dont listen to siulapwa, he just a jerk.
Those that rise by prosecuting the corrupt will fall by the corrupt persecuting them… natural justice
U 2 chaps have been sponsored by RB,to peition da GRZ to drop nchito so that FTJ can now go scot-free..RB is out of his mind.Thats why :when the monkeys went to God and asked him to turn them into human beings,God showed them the picture of RB and said “Like this one?”.Then the monkeys responded “kanshi lekenifye,ngatamule fwaya”…RB,ya time is alomst ova man…
Bane even though someone has done nonsense I think a certain level of respect is necessary for persons of a certain age the monkey joke though funny is insulting which is very unafrican and unzambian.
Zee Biggie, as i keep on saying, insults will not solve this problem, insluting RB or Dora will not absolve the management of ZA from any wrong doing, let us call a spade a spade, the tribunal has begun sitting, let us wait and see what comes out. same as the post has been advocating for Dora to be given her day, let them also advocate for the ZA management to be equally given thier day. let us not trivialise the issues at hand.
Young trigger you are just feaces. You stinking being rotten and rejected cocroch.
You are the type of pipo a country like zambia does not need, you can not begin using this type of language in a public fora like this one, do not forget that this fora can be audited and your indentities exposed, so do not behave like the post by trying to hide some aspects of their selfishness under the guise of press freedom. we can have you barred from taking part and exposed for who you really are. respect others in future.
I dont understand why average Zambians easily get swayed by myopic politicians. Please lets get the fact straight that Post Newspapers and ZA are two different companies and can not be sued for the other. Many Zambians are dancing to the wrong tune and we risk laughing at ourselves. Politicians enjoy preying on shallow minds and besides why should this escalate at the time many corrupt practises are being exposed.
Young trigger what the hell do you think you are? To open that stink beak of yours against Nine Chale.Nine Chale is one of the cool guys here.Respected by most of the people.So i wont sit and relax while rotten brains like you insult innocent people. You stinking maggot.
Chewe behave and tell your cool guy to be cool,cause he has no business speaking to me like that in the first place.The Lucifer in him will make him pay,its his pay day to young trigger.The only Cool guy I know is Maltworld the Nice guy,much respect to him,cause he never picks up a fight.But this ignoramus p*ssy you call nine chale has been square rooted to three chale,may his soul rest in hell.And if you too wanna get involved in supporting your wife,then bring it on,but you too need some backup,cause now am fatal and raw,my words heavy like a chevy,so beware, Cradle to the grave I will be on my grind hustlin’,till all my enemies drop.
These clowns are wasting time. This Siulapwa chap is older brother to “Danny Yakumbuyo” and is the biggest clown of all. The case of Zambian Airways is a simple one that does’nt require a silly & futile investigation. Mutembo, Mmembe & friends basically had a poor business strategy and miserably failed to run their little airline.
Want to divert our attention? DORA and RP(RUPIAH PWEZANI) are the culprits
Two of the reasons why ZA went down was PILFERAGE by the financial chaps and secondly the company’s collapse of debt collection. I work for an international airline which owes ZA hundred thousands of dollars, but their system, STRANGELY, collapsed and lost all track of their debtors. To this day, they have failed to produce invoices in order for us to pay them. It is a shame that these chaps have tarnished Mutembo’s name. Thier misapropriation contributed to the demise of ZA. Very sad indeed.
Seems most people are involved in some scam or other. Who is gonna be spared, me of course, how could I forget! I just hope the guy’s slate is clean.
Nchito and his friends have to defend the charge of using Zambian airways as a conduit to obtain money from both private and public institutions.Nchito must defend the allegation that he used 2 aircrafts as collateral to obtain loans for ZA knowing fully that the planes do not belong to ZA.Nchito has also to defend the allegation that as director, he obtained loans from banks in the name of ZA purpoting to be using the money for reviving ZA when in actual fact the money was shared amoungest the directors and shareholders.Nchito has to defend the charge of personally evaluating the aircrafts for the purpose of getting loans knowing fully that he is not a registered evaluator or quantity surv
Engine, when you use a house as collateral to obtain a loan from the bank, you have to show proof that you own that house that is being used as collateral. The burden of establishing proof has to be established by the lendor. If lendor is happy with the docs provided and does not do their own due dilligence, then that lendor is at great risk of losing their monies. Anyone that has taken little interest on ZA knows that they do not own a single aircraft outlight, in fact in the airline business very few Airlines own their aircrafts – they are always leased from Boeing and the likes. Get your facts right
this is where the nchito’s have to explain how they can falsefy documents and dupe the bank into giving them money likewise the post should have been explaining all this to the pipo, instead they have forced a tribunal to be constituted, now that the tribunal is seating, why have the post not gone to give eveidence to have Dora committed t court. the burden of proof is on the accuser not the accused. their bluff has been well read and tackled by nyama soya. so please zambians we all know where the high court is, let us go and crucify Dora if we have the evidence, otherwise let us petition the post to stop pedling in lies.
Engines i dont agree with you. M,membe and mutembo borrowed that money in order to invest.Therefore the collapsing of Zambian airways has got nothing to do with the invisible hands of the 2 directors.
how much was siuulapwa given for him to say this becuase that chap talks nonsense
Young trigger am warning you.Never dare to touch or provoke Nine Chale again. It wont be him to face you.But i will,so stay away and leave him alone.
so now some girlfriend to three chale has grown some wings….lol ,yo bring your ID on, if you gat guts you ponk,my hands are on the trigger,16 shots I drop you.
There are no sacred chaps when it comes to plunder. Let Mutembo prove his innocency in court. Plunder is plunder, whether you are a former head of state, army general, private prosecutor or whistle blower. Let them face the law. Nchito must account for all his dealings.
ubusushi bweka bweka fye…it doesn’t add up, is this the direction our country should take mr siulapwa?
Young trigger am warning you.Never dare to touch or provoke Nine Chale again. Because he wont face you but i will. Hope this sinks into your rotten brains.
lol
So much has changed, I haven’t been blogging for some time.
The level of debate on this site is sickening. Lets keep our eyes on the ball. What are the real issues here? It is corruption – dont matter where or how, but corruption and its bed fellow poverty have really blinded most of us to the truth. Take out Membe, Nchitos, Harringtone and whomever you please – will this change what is happening today? Nay – the only thing that will change is that people with ill gotten bucks will go around flushing it and making everything so darn expensive for the ordinary Zedians. Imagine ba Dora with her $200 000 or ka K7.5m VAT eko balile ku Petauke inga bafika pa Manda Hill na pa Arcades, ifwe who are still using the four digit calculators kuti twapenenako?
“Mr Lifwekelo said Mr Nchito’s stay at the Task Force on Corruption would compromise investigations by the law-enforcement agencies at Zambian Airways where he was also a director.”Nice data. In fact, Mr M. Nchito’s stay on the Task Force will compromise its work in the fight against corruption so it is only fair for him to resign and not wait to be dropped form there.
He should do it as a patriotic Zambian who has the interest of the nation at heart. I wish him all the best in this trying time.
Long Life and Respect Mr Maestro,you keep the blog on track,you are the barrack of this blog,Allah bless
Thank you. I will be back full time next week. I have a some serious National issues to handle for now, later and keep well. I will however try to catch on all things friday afternoon.
Those of you with evidence against dora please dont waste time blogging, the tribunal has started and the outcome will depend on the evidence that citizens will submit. As of today nobody has submitted any evidence and Mr Harrington himself is requesting the tribunal to compel Miss siliya to submit her correspondence with RP capital so that he can use that as evidence. if anyone of you has evidence please take it to the tribunal to assist not only Mr harrington but also the people of Zambia.The post is unable to give any evidence they have because it was not legally obtained and is therefore not admissible. remember if you cant submit evidence then this case will be considered witchhunting
Well understood anf tahnks. I am only worried about the MMD thugs who threatened to deal serious with Mr Harrington in form of violence in their claim that they wot spare anyone with opposing views against the GRZ of Mr President RB Banda. I hope President RB BANDA will take this opportunity to inform his MMD cadres to desist from such acts which are injurous to our young democracy and this is a form of anarchy and intimidation from the ruling party. This serves to inform President RB Banda and his Administration that the world is slowly coming to a global village form in which crimes against humanity can be instituted to anyone who does not discharge his duties well to avoid internal wars.
Jerry Rawlings once said that politics in africa is like riding a tiger-you dont know whether you are safe while on it or off it.This whole thing smacks and smells of a political hit job by RB -but that aside -what is amazing is how these seemingly inteligent guys thought they could make money from the airline industry.Reknowed airlines like Alitalia have colapsed and other have been forced to merge and these guys honestly thought they had a prayer.
Maestro Hakainde epo waba?
Yes, brother Chewe. I am very much alive though I am attending to pressing issues. Keep well and all the best. Some other time, maybe next week.
Sarah Jones iwee,Sarah Jones,Sarah Jones where are you please?
Still searching for whom to marry,loser
Check the watchdog he is infact contamplating resigning.
I know the Nchito boys well from UNZA days and i admire their hard work but on this one i think its fair for all concerned and for our nation that they are releved of their position in the task force.Siulapwa is right here.After all the clearance if at all they can return to their posts.
thank you
I like Mushota’s views.She seems quite objective
I think one thing we are missing here is, any company that does not pay ZRA and NAPSA is liable cos these are payments that are to be made immediately. This Mutembo whether he is not MMD or not, deducted money as ZA from employees but never gave it to the owners in this case Napsa and ZRA. he got tax from ticket sales but never paid NAC, so isnt that theft pls. am not a politician and I dont have to be to see that Mutembo needs to give answers as ZA. Post knows that Zamtel has been sinking over the years, much as Dora is not my favourite person we still need to look at things from the other side cos problem with Post is when they want to distroy you they will create or sensationalise
Malilwe
Do you know that governement got money for retirees, and yet have not paid them. Shouldn’t they be arrested? Who is the CEO of government? Be real.
The Post and MMD are both 17yrs old. they have fought running battles before and they are still fighting. one interesting thing about there fights is that there seem to be no winner because the post is still operating and MMD is still in power. If you look at the nature of the fights in the last 17yrs, the official bone of contention has always been bad publications by the post and corruption on the MMD side. This time around it is the post being accused of gross corruption by way of using a legitimate company ZA as a conduit to syphone money from the state that MMD controls. gentlemen there is always an end even to the most wonderful song, this time around one of them is going under
Impressive stuff. Someone said ‘icatakamana cakayoosha’ and so one day these two institutes will surely have their end and I hope it will be in the year 2011 just after the elections.
Those of you with evidence against dora please dont waste time blogging, the tribunal has started and the outcome will depend on the evidence that citizens will submit. As of today nobody has submitted any evidence and Mr Harrington himself is requesting the tribunal to compel Miss siliya to submit her correspondence with RP capital so that he can use that as evidence. if anyone of you has evidence please take it to the tribunal to assist not only Mr harrington but also the people of Zambia.The post is unable to give any evidence they have because it was not legally obtained and is therefore not admissible. remember if you cant submit evidence then this case will be considered witchhunting
Young trigger what has Chewe done to you?for you to insult me like that.Am sorry i cant answer back,if there is anything that am trying to avoid by all means is fighting with people on the blogg.So God bless you am no longer that type.Have a nice day my brother.
Chewe, thats the spirit my dear now you have grown and i think you deserve an award for the advise you have given young trigger. I now whole heartedly welcome you to the group of sober minded bloggers.we can disagree in opinions and logic but we surely can agree on the language that we use on this blogg. i further implore all bloggers to take a leaf from chewe by not replying to all those insulting and further avoid any discussion with such people.
Engine block boyi also advise ka Nine Chale to join your mature group of bloggers,otherwise I will squeeze balls in him,as for chewe am sorry I thought You masqueraded as annoynmous,if that aint you then forgive me,but Nine Chale is your friend isnt he?
I have stoped saying that this country has gone to the dogs in respect to my dog at home.
It is so funny to see people that are supporting Nchito are themselves not defending Chiluba. So far evidence that has come out from the trial seem to indicate that Chiluba did not steal but used gov’t institutions to receive money, which in it self may be subject to question. And the Access team were themselves running a private company which at least was solvent. And when you see the parallels in these cases. I would rather be in the Chiluba’s team.
iam dont like chiluba for what he did to this country but as far as his cases are concerned it will soon be a miscarriage of justice.Corruption existed even during the times of moses in the bible and it still exist even today.This is a fact unfortunately levy came and told us that corruption came and ended with chilubas term of office, he further established the task force to investigate chilubas term of office.if you read the auditor generals repoert of the 70s you will find as much misappropriation of funds as it was in the chiluba,LPM and RBs regime.if thats the case then why restrict the mandate of the task force to chiluba alone is that not witch hunting. lets fight corruption all round
Guys dont be cheated. If you have followed me recently I am now against fighting corruption in the name of fighting Chiluba. According to Zambians, corruption is chiluba and chiluba is corruption. Thats why corruption does not exist in Zambia unless the name of chiluba is mentioned. We have become sounding gongs because now the people committing corruption or found to have committed corruption are not from Chiluba’s team. So stop wasting the money to enrich the Task Force. there is no fight against corrupton in Zambia but the fight against Chiluba and his team.
Engines thanx so much.
Greed and quick money has been the fall of many. It was greed that motivated ZA to obtain loans under false impressions. If only some people could learn to forgive. Even when people are genuiningly ready to forgive, they fail because the people under the spotlight have not extended forgiveness to others. This is GREED. ZA wants to be bailed out but they continue to insult the very same people who would help them out. Chiluba, Sakala, Bulaya and all the rest have never been given such an opportunity for forgiveness. People, no matter what you see outside, what matters is what comes from inside. If you cant forgive others, why should others forgive (bail you out) you?
It is the same greed that would motivate a prosecutor to continue in the TASK FORCE whilst his reputation is at stake. For goodness sake, where is honour.
Uilo
please come back home. Where is the honour of a diasporic view from yourself when others are slugging it out with a dead end polito-economy. Show your honour man.
It is sad to to have thickheaded people blogging relentlessly. Very few bloggers look at issues objectively. But then, it is on record that most bloggers are inclined to dagga smoking and this explains a lot. I feel for the few sensible bloggers like Engines, Senior Citizen and the like. Unless you come to what I have come to understand, your effort will fall on deaf ears. Dagga makes people lose objectivity.
I think some people should have chosen to drop out of the cases if they are religious. Religion teaches that all wrong. Where you take 5 years to dig up the truth, surely some must begin to weigh the balance. If somany billions have been recovered, can someone please tell us. All we see is that Billions are being spent by THE TASK FORCE. Where are our gains as a nation?
It’s impossible to wipe out corruption, even harder to investigate corrupt officers if they are allowed to stay in office while enquiries are going on. This shows that the government is not serious about rooting out corruption or the government, itself, is rotten to the core.
Two things come to light on this issue. The much needed resources lost on a selective drive on corruption has turned MMD govt into vulture within its ranks. The other is that the collapse of ZA has broght out the much feared eventuality of things falling apart before sending the pre condemned thief Chiluba to jail. The truth being, the same institutions that went to bed with the chiluba regime also bedded ZA in an effort to save their asses and have FTJ condemned. Now the die is cast and the institutions realise they played ball with the devil and are once more trying to save themselves. I wonder who they are bedding this time around…Dora?…Banda sons.?…disolved boards’ members?
If you are going to be partial on your blog you better let bloggers know you do not appreciate their presence. its irrittating to spend time framing a posting only to be blocked…..This eats at the freedom of expression and my rating right now is a minus 10 on you LT.
Man it is true LT is misbehaving recently. He is acting like Nyama soya
Ka Lt please behave yourself
RB IS SUGGESTED TO DROP NCHITO AND APPOINT A NEW TASK FORCE CHIEF WHO CAN SAVE SILIYA AND RB’S SONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!. NCHITO CAN BE DROPED FROM HIS OFFICE WHILE SILIYA CANNOT, BUT BOTH HAVE INFLUENCE TO SHILD INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST THEIR RESPECTIVE CASES!!!! TWALAMONA BA RB
Ba Kunda is not credible AT ALL! wHY Siliya cant be suspended but on Mutembo he has spoken out. Kunda if you are a qualified and credible person speak OUT! VEEP is not all there is to life.Talk about young men for hire office not Siulapwa is a joker already they have been paid a lot of money to speak. If these are the kind of young leaders you are targeting SORRY!
I believe that Mutembo is just as human as any other. He is also liable to offense or failure. The fact that one is a Lawyer here on earth does not make him pure or void of fault. It is just ethical and morally right for Mutembo to step down or be relieved of his position.
