Justice Minister Winter Kabimba is this afternoon expected to appear before the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) for questioning over corruption allegations leveled against him.
Mr. Kabimba is alleged to have received kickbacks for facilitating the awarding of an oil supply contract to Trafigura.
ACC Public Relations Officer Timothy Moono has confirmed that Mr. Kabimba has been invited by the commission for questioning.
Mr. Moono could however not provide the exact time the Justice Minister is expected to appear at the commission.
Earlier in October this year, the commission launched investigations into corruption allegations against Mr. Kabimba and his defence counterpart, Geoffrey Mwamba.
Mr. Mwamba is accused of corruptly soliciting a contract to supply electricity poles to ZESCO.
Meanwhile President Michel Sata has said the campaign against corruption embarked on by his government has no sacred cows.
In his speech to launch the international anti corruption week, ahead of the international anti corruption day which falls on 9th December, President said his government will not relent in devising strategies and enacting laws that will ensure the eradication of poverty.
President Sata said corruption retards social, political and economic development of a country by diverting the scarce national resources from the intended areas of investment.
He said it also raises levels of poverty, promotes social injustice, distorts facts and figures associated with governments’ expenditure thereby leading to poor service delivery both in public and private sector.
Mr Sata added that corruption undermines the rule of law, reduces investor confidence and frustrates developmental programmes.
He further stated that corruption also facilitates crime and increases the gap between the rich and the poor.
President Sata notd that for a long time Zambia has experienced sufferings at the few hands of unscrupulous and selfish individuals who have demonstrated no regard for other people’s rights and privileges.
He has pledged that his government will not cast a blind eye to these challenges while a few individuals continue to rob the country of hard earned resources.
President Sata said his government will not shield anyone or in any way be selective but will professionally and impartially execute its mandate.

No one cares LT because nothing will come out of this
Pathetic
Thanks
Nice to see you can also right sensible things.
Since when did you even caring about what happens in Zambia. Is everything okay between you and Nick?
Honey Mushota, how are you keeping? Please find time this festive period and come help re-align zambia.
It’s a joke.
Why don’t you people at LT go into details like the ZWD has done on the same story? ZWD has even revealed names and locations of some listed share holders and all you write are extracts of speeches made by the same suspects.
Because ZWD lies
What Ukwanites regard as lies is the Truth that gets to be reported about Sata and his minions.
Let him answer tothe allegations!! In PF we dont tolerate corruption and once found,he will face the president.
Why not face the law? Or is the president the law? just wondering!!!!
ati will face the president, same of you PF cadres are just laughable.
You guys are so sanctimonious but just don’t get it, do you?
(….now go look up sanctimonious, ok?)
Mushota.
You mean your idol is a toothless tiger!
Allergic to corrupt ministers?
kagwileni ka red lips…..stupid moron
Is Corruption fighting corruption?
I agree with you that is why this case is going nowhere
Good question. What happened to state house renovations? That is not corruption.
Lets wait en see.
How can this be? The guy must setp down before he appears before this toothless ACC.
Lets see a crowd of sympathizers for Ka Kabimba.. take enough pictures.
window dressing!! that’s what this is. Just like ZWD correctly predicted that this oil contract was to be awarded to Trafigura before the window-dressing tender awarding ‘process’, one can correctly ‘predict’ the out come of the ACC’s investigation into Summers activities in regard to this contract
Pf we tired of cheap politcs,that an academic excercise its totally futile.we wiser than you think.
Me and my white husband are shocked!
This is a window dressing exercise as you cannot have a minister in charge of a ministry which will bring a case against him.That is why for the first time I agree with Mushota.
exercise in futility….
Which ACC official is going to question a sitting Justice Minister; they might as well have the meeting in a cafe over coffee and lunch at the arcade. This is just a window dressing chore. If Sata was serious about corruption he should have suspended the two ministers to pave way for investigations.
Yes, we want a Zambia free of corruption, a Zambia where the rule of law works not what the MMD turned this country in. PF must know that if they will steal like the MMD, come 2016 they are out of power. We want a government that works and respects people who put them in power.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.
Kabimba expels Sata from the party. Hooligans hound Kabimba out of party secretariat as Sata says he is still PF president. No, not in PF, we have discipline. The due process of the law will ensure justice is dispensed on the Justice minister fairly and squarely!
@18. There’s no due process of the law in PF. It is the due process of the President. A President who has already given himself retirement benefits when he still has 4 years to serve. A President who has allocated money to his wife’s office which doesn’t Constitutionally exist. You smoke too much mbanje ba PF!
Mbuzi ya luma galu!
Ever wondered how constructive bloggers comments are when Mushota is the first to post??? Mushota is a true leader. No winder she has a good boyfriend in Nick, and not these useless chaps like #17 who says “truth HATES.” Childish boy. its “Truth Hurts”
Sata indeed is a great leader whose resolve to stamp out corruption will leave no stone unturned regardless of status and political affiliation. eFyo twalefwaye fi. Not amafi yali muli Rupiah Banda. He should also be arrested for having institutionalized corruption.
@Goncalves, a.k.a Livingstone, how are you my friend? What do you have? Havana or Kingstone? Funny you.
wasssap hommies?! :-c:-c:-c:-c
Given that the ACC board of commissioners is directly appointed, albeit on the strength of Act No. 38 of 2010, directly by the president inherently renders its allegiance to the appointing authority. This is notwithstanding its organizational two-tier nature. The biggest weakness that I have observed in the Zambian governance system is the special dispensation, whether blindly or by design, given to the president to work without having to account to the Legislature. This has seriously undermined the legislature’s noble mandate to provide the much needed checks and balances. Executive members, like Kabimba, who have identified this in the governance system, will invariably exploit such institutional weakness to their advantage

The main idea to purchase a blood pressure monitor is because you want a fast and accurate machine that you can easily operate at home. You want something that straps on and with a push of a button reads and finishes the reading in less than 3 minutes. That’s the standard you want to put up.
