Exchange of cash in this year’s polls shocks Magande

Share

Former Minister of Finance & National Planning N'gandu Magande

National Movement for Progress (NMP) president Ng’andu Magande says he has never witnessed an election were money has exchanged hands as in this year’s elections.

Speaking when he featured on QFM’s the Public’s Last Say last evening, Mr Magande says the expenditure that government is making on the two officials allowed to use government facilities during campaigns, the President and the vice president is way to much of what one would expect.

Mr Magande adds that some of his candidates who were suppose to contest as parliamentary candidates were bribed not stand.

He says this will spoil the show as a situation where wrong people will be Members of parliament and councilors will be created as a result.

Mr Magande says his party however, managed to field twenty parliamentary candidates.

And Mr Magande says the ongoing road rehabilitation programme embarked upon by the MMD government outside the national budget is illegal according to the provisions of the public finance Act of 2006.

He says the road rehabilitation programme is merely a gimmick to hoodwink Zambians that everything is going on well.

Mr Magande adds that by the end of this year Zambians will come to know the truth when the Auditor General releases his report.

  1. # 3 The Engineer (Australia) . He is just honest. Not you morons who claim to be educated but worship cadres like William Banda. Engineer my a.as.s !

  2. # 4 walasa, chaps like AUST ENGINEER can go as low as praising william banda..Education is not helping them they think using their mouth not the Brain

  3. No 5 and 6   Does this guy expect people to vote for him when he says the economy is not growing its stagnant? Its you guy Magande who is not using his brain.

  4. Engineer, you r write my man! If this guy is broke, he shouldnt be contesting. Such useless chaps who include General Miyanda are a mockery to our politics. I don’t mind William Banda because violence is the only language these PF fools understand. You cant reason with PF, unless you use violence!

  5. Ba engineer, today magande is not using his brain, just because you are no longer dining at the same table? hehehehehe, change your bootlicking tactics SIR!!!

  6. No 10 this is the same guy who was protecting the Nchito brothers for stealing our money. Just pray that MMD loses…  Zambia will be changed forever. All these crooks will be cleaned out. 

  7. I am also shocked that Magande is shocked!! Politics is about money! You need to find out how much presidential candidates spend in the US. Thats why we may need a law one day that will stipulate how much money one should have before attempting to stand as president. Besides we learned a hard lesson when we voted for poor Kafupi in 1991. He wiped the Country clean!

  8. I dont like Magande but what he is saying is true….. MMD chaps have reached the levels of corruption where it has became a norm hence anyone supprting MMD will not see any alternative other than Bwezani and MMD…..a very few handful are striaght in MMD one of them is Felix Mutati…Now Banda has brought “Bwana System” who will be spared of any corrupt tendences…..Viva PF…Viva Sata…. Sata does not like “Kanabesa or Bwana” syndrom…its work or get fired, steal and go to Jail…period

  9. “THE Lusaka High Court has dismissed an application by Lusaka freelance journalist Chanda Chimba seeking the resumption of his Stand Up for Zambia television programme while the Supreme Court was determining his appeal on the matter.

    Ruling in a case where Chimba appealed against the High Court’s earlier decision to grant the injunction, High Court judge Patrick Matibini dismissed Chimba’s application on ground that his defence of justification, fair comment and privilege were not likely to succeed at trial.

    Judge Matibini said the defendants’ conduct fell short of the standard of responsible journalism.”

  10. #14 So Zambian judiciary is not compromised after all? Another putrid flesh (pf) battle cry goes down the pit latrine.

  11. Magande, just shut up and look for money to conduct your campains. You look an ***** everytime you open that big mouth with that heavy accent…atase!
