FORMER Taskforce on Corruption executive chairperson Max Nkole has described allegations by the Committee of Citizens (CC) that he had asked for the discontinuation of the case involving former Republican president Frederick Chiluba as a lie.
Mr Nkole said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that at no time did he write a letter to the Republican vice-president asking that the case should be discontinued and challenged CC executive director, Gregory Chifire to immediately publish the purported letters.
Mr Chifire on Tuesday challenged Max Nkole to deny that he had written letters to the vice-president asking that the case involving Dr Chiluba be discontinued.
He said that Mr Nkole should in the next seven days publicly admit that he had written several letters to the vice-president, saying that Dr Chiluba’s case should be dropped because of lack of evidence.
“I am challenging Mr Chifire to publish the letters I purportedly wrote immediately,” Mr Nkole said before adding that in fact he could not write such a letter to the vice-president but to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).[quote]
Mr Nkole said there was no way he could have said that the case should be discontinued due to lack of evidence as a person who had been championing the need to exhaust the justice process through appeal.
He said non-governmental organisations officials should not use their positions to misinform the nation, adding that there was need to stick to the truth.
Mr Chifire had said that if Mr Nkole did not respond to the committee, he would make public the letters.
But Mr Nkole said Mr Chifire was free to tell the nation whatever he knew about the issue.

What is Cifire waiting for, go ahead and make those letters public. If my memory serves me right, Chiluba complained to the Court that Nkole was waging a vendtta against him because, he Nkole thought it was Chiluba who instigated his ouster as Commissioner of ZP. So one wonders how one person can say no and yes at the same time.
Damn!!! the ‘ kwindi kafupi ‘ case again… he won his case.. forget about him and move on Zambians!!!! LIFE IS OO SHORT TO WORRY ABOUT THIS KAPOLI…
Chifire Go ahead!!.We want to see them letters!! I like your challenge.
Meant LIFE IS TOO SHORT…….in #2, Sorry…..
Gregory Cifire, Edwin Lifwekeke and Kelvin Sampa, bane mukalila owe.
angela cifire and this youngster are crooks, look how she ransacked zesco and how this young brut is yapping now, typical of eateners who are tainting the good image of kwathu. gregory is a failure and he is in the same boots as that moses lungu impostor of a pastor who equally failed to spill the beans against george the duicker
Useless Chifire If you have the facts why not just publish them than challenging someone to do that?

# 13….zodie dube I thot u were dead (adulterously)?????????
who is this silly cifire ?pliz if ndiwe nyandule..shut up and chew ur benefits quietly…
#13 Zodie Dube. You will not solve problems by insults. If you have a point say it and we are here to debate. And please the two case are not similar except that Kafupi was realesed by RB and Kabwela was arrested on RB’s instructions- go get a transcript of th PC from ZNBC
But ba Max Nkole, is it not just in order that you institute legal action against Chifire and his NGO for defamation of Character?
There is no need of just challenging Chifire to publish the letters if you think his statements are false and injurious to your reputation.
You are a legal person who should understand these things better.
#5 Thanks. Where is Alfred Phiri ZIMT and the other Phiri NOCE who where mouth pieces some time back during the ran up to 2001 and the 3rd term saga!
This commitee of citizens, where do i join to become a member please so that i too can have access to goverment media and prime time on ZNBC to tair my views?
People in Zed what are the headlines for The Post today? There is no signal today.
mr dejabu, so from your pc from znbc, u also analysed that rb released kafupi? i wonda y its taken 8yrs 2 prosecute him. if mwanawasa had evidence. unquestionable evidence, it wud hav taken a month or 5.kafupi is a thief bt wen an individual goes to court it is eitha guilt or not guilty. its not a definite guilty.go read the post if u want 2live in dreamland. this is the real world.dont tel me how to blog. didn g.a.y mmembe tel u abt freedom of blogin.lol. tekanya mwaiche. im too advanced for u
There we go again ! Lets wait and see who makes the first move
#19 ,”M’membe put on defence” and “Chipolopolo to have only 2 pros for Korea game” are todays headlines for the front and back respectively….coming to the topic, these NGOs so called are a sheer waste of time and space. I remember Mpombo being gven a similar challenge which backfired on the said pastor…I say sue them till they run dry.
I agree with # 20 Zodie Dube 100%, the Post is just Memmbe fighting his battles against those he has bones to chew with and he wants to draw all of you into it and has succeeded. A lot of you buy it and you go ranting acccording to how meembe wants you to. Some of us have have seen thru membe and we can’t be brinewashed by one membe who has abused the power of the pen for his person gain. Shame on you and may God deliver you. Even in the developed world thats not how they do journalism.
#18 Simapa – Not Phiri but Zulu -correction
#20 It is not as simple as that. USA is only bringing 9/11 suspects to court since 2001. Its not like stealing a chicken.
#20 Be fair to the prosecution- FTJ caused a lot of adjournents due to “sickness’ to the extent that at one time it was arranged that he be tried by CCTV at his home. And also the investigations were carried out even in foreign countries. Fact is FTJ has cost us a lot of money including the $20m he gave to his relative one Soriano KK to “purchase guns” for Zambia.
# 13 your hate for Fred Mmembe seems to be personal,you talk about it on every thread,its becoming repugnant and boring. Let us stick to the topic
This boy chifire boy flanked as student union, COBUSU President in 2003…he misled students by telling lies, now he wants to tell lies to the nation….i know this boy in and out bufi alelanda
KAMBWILI U TURNS- Man am even afraid openning this one. The rate at which conribution are coming ia amazing. I just rang him to open LT.Com
There is a saying in Bemba That “For the hyena to cry, he has his back on some reliable support”. Thats the Chifire. If you read the post the other day, it was alleged that he wwas going to be one of the boys who will be used for propanda by the MMD.
Is this ka Chifire a relation of Angela Chifire?
