Former minister of energy Kenneth Konga has been summoned by the Zambia police at the former Task Force offices. Police spokesperson Elizabeth Kanjela who confirmed the development to QFM said Mr. Konga was summoned at 15 hours today.

However,Ms. Kanjela could not give the reasons why the former minister in the MMD government has been summoned saying she was on her way to the former Task Force offices were Konga was being questioned by broadcast time.

And Inspector general of Police Martin Malama has pledged to ensure that Zambia is free from corruption. Dr. Malama says that he would like to see a public and private sector that is devoid of corruption.

He said that corruption has continued to affect Zambia’s development efforts stating that there is need to ensure that the country fights hard.

He has however stated that the fight against corruption should not be left to the police alone, but the responsibility of all Zambians.

He said that every Zambian should ensure that efforts are taken to fight the high levels of corruption.

Speaking last evening on MUVI TVs the assignment programme, Dr. Malama expressed happiness that the police are on the right cause in fighting corruption.

He has stated that the Zambia Police will ensure that no one is protected in the quest to fight corruption.

  1. Stop owning anything unip days are back. How many pipo can remember how they acquired their properties even tvs and radios. The devil is on the loose

    • It is better to keep quiet if you have nothing constructive to say. We know that you have access to a computer. Use it wisely

  2. That is the way to go. I love the pronouncements by the IG. Keep it up. The law should visit anyone who have acted otherwise.  

  3. Lets support the police in its fight against corruption…all those with dirt on their hands should be brought in for questioning; the truth fears no questions.

  4. #1 MAN OF THE PEOPLE

    Oh please you know nothing about the UNIP days, you were probably too young and sucking your thumb in your pram to remember anything!!!

  5. Malama have pride and resign. Your master blasted your ass live on air. You have lost respect as IG even a junior officer within a barracks can’t be blasted like this. I agree with HE MS, why the hell were you smiling? You are now known as the “smiling IG”.
    As for Kanjela, try to stay away from sitting on the IG’s toolos

  6. Apparently,this Konga still gets kickbacks from the oil supply contracts he and his fellow thieves orchestrated,hence his summoning.Its time to pay back every penny you stole from the poor people of Zambia,its not about your H3 Hummer,its about accountability,and making sure that everyone learns from people like you.Go get them ba buju,that the way to go.

  7. I really do not understand the new operations of the police since inspector general Malama took over. What we are witnessing now is that the police ‘summon’ the wealthy ‘suspect’ and ‘interview’ them and let them off. Sometimes the ‘suspect’ can even choose when to attend these time-wasting ‘interviews’ but a common man suspected of having commited an offence is hunted down by the police, roughed up, assaulted, interrogated under duress and locked up instantly and that marks the end of his freedom. The rich and powerful are interviewed while the common Zambians are interrogated. Is there fair justice in Zambia currently?

  8. There are more rats to catch… Those who have nothing to hide needn’t worry and should sleep at night. Embezzlement and abuse of office is a serious crime…..

  9. IG Unwipwa Malama, please do not aimlessly victimise people, I hope you have evidence this time round, not that nonsense of saying Thandiwe has Hotels in Malawi when you cant even show us the picture.

  10. Those who rule by the sword will one day face it, we shall watch your time PF even MMD thought they will rule forever. HH or whoever is next learn how to do it arrest every former Minister.I hope we won’t put in a pastor so we can have Sata and group sorted out too( if they will stil be there) but nevers can deal with them.

  11. This time around mwanawasa did a lot of progress despite taking over from that Bemba thief. Now 90 days on the line we are stil chasing William Banda and his cadres.the waste ever Govt since independence.even the blind can see this truth.malabish with daily” Breaking News” no direction.

  12. I was under the impreession that the abuse of office clause was removed from our laws by RB and GK because they had a premonition that the presence of this clause will bring about their demise. Has it been restored?

  13. Zambia, unite your brothers and sisters in Western and North-Western provinces have been turned into state enemies.

    Our current political design is so flawed, so let us take everything and fill the gaps with fearless patriotism.

    Sata has broken our faith with one another and the sea will soon engulf us and then the light will go out. Evil days are around the corner, wake up Zambia!

    To our brothers and sisters in the Western and North-Western provinces remember that ‘sticks in a bundle are unbreakable’ even at the hands of a dictator like Sata.By Milimo UNZA

  14. #8. YOU ARE RIGHT. WHY SHOULD THE POOR BE INTEROGATED AND THE REAL THIEVES (THE RICH) BE INTERVIEWED. NOT ONLY THAT. WHY SHOULD THE REAL THIEVES BE RELEASED FOR TO GO AND SHREAD MORE EVIDENCE OR IMPROVE ON WHAT TO SAY NEXT WHILE PETTY ROOSTER THIEVES ARE LOCKED UP IN CELLS? CAN’T THE POLICE FORCE START LOOKING AT OFFENDERS AS OFFENDERS RATHER THAN LOOKING AT WHAT THEY ARE FIRST? ZAMBIA POLICE WAKE.

  15. we encourage our brothers and sister in WP and NWP together with Southern to risie up against this oppressive government. Demand for a return of the copper, uranium or oil resources to be used in the development of these provinces instead of going to Muchinga.

  16. Mmmmmmh. Konga`s wealth smells like oil money. Those deals from some East African company. Very little known about it in the east but was given the contract to bring in huge consignments of fuel even when the Indeni Refinery was operational.

  17. YOU BLOGGERS INSULTING SATA DAY AND NIGHT, I THOUGHT AFTER 90 DAYS YOU HAVE STOPPED TALKING AND JUST WATCHING HOW WE ARE PERFORMING. LONG LIVE PF, LONG LIVE GRZ, LONG LIVE MCS.

  18. Excellent move………arrest all the thieves, they thought MMD would rule forever and that’s why the removed the abuse of office clause.

  19. To the best of my knowledge, the article 37 of the ACC act stands null and void and am just wondring what law the police are using. Again, these are the problems that arise when the police are unprofessional. Make noise when you have irrefutable evidence that can stand in court, otherwise you will be embarrased. Available evidence indicates that Konga used his parliamentary loan to acquire the Hummer. Besides this guys has a farm called konga in makeni and has been involved in business for some time. Lets avoid fishing expeditions coz this costs money.

  20. It is difficult for minister to still money in Zambia.But it is to abuse the office.Compare the two at the moment Konga has no case.

  21. Thankyou very to all those Concerned with Sour relationship Between the Current Gvt and the three Provinces,N/W,W/P and Southern.am very much concerned with the state of the Road which is contributing to Our GDP,the Chingola – Solwezi Rd compared to the road wprks going on in copperbelt which is of high Quality,our Road Just like the Province it self are neglected.My appeal to our MPs to fight tooth and nail to have this road worked on before it is too late.

    to contin.
