President Michael Sata has advised the Anti Corruption commission (ACC) to refrain from investigating people using the media.President Sata said it is not right for the commission to go to the newspapers and reveal a person being investigated by the commission.The Head of State instead advised the commission to uphold the privacy of the people being investigated.Mr Sata said the ACC should ensure that investigations are done between the commission and the person being investigated without involving the media.
President Sata said this today at State House when he swore in Anti Corruption Commissioner Rollen Mukanda and Teaching Service Commission members.
Those sworn in the Teaching Service Commission include Chairman Jennipher Chiwela, Alfred Sikazwe Vice Chairman, Justo Chishimba, Angness Nyoni, Robam Mwaba, David Kandolonda and Janet Kayama board members.
Mr Sata castigated the Anti Corruption Commission for not getting permission from him when investigating senior party officials.He explained that by law the commission is supposed to get permission from him to investigate any senior party official.Mr Sata wondered why the commission was not approaching him to get permission to investigate senior party officials when the law is clear.[pullquote]I won’t suspend anybody unless you prove to me[/pullquote]
“Madam Rollen I want you take some sanity to Anti Corruption Commission, how would you feel if somebody is investigating you in the Times of Zambia. Because if you are investigating somebody that should be between you and that person. Don’t go to the newspaper and say we are investigating you give people the privacy they deserve,” he said.
Mr Sata said he will not suspend anybody on allegations but that he will wait till the Anti Corruption proves to him that someone is guilty.
“I won’t suspend anybody unless you prove to me, the law says if you have a senior party official you want to investigate come and get permission from me. You don’t go to the press and say we are investigating somebody. That’s the MMD way of doing things,” Mr Sata said.
Meanwhile, President Sata said the Teaching Service Commission needs a lot of inspiration in a bid to inspire teachers if they are to be professionals.
Mr Sata complained that the teaching service commission has been employing teachers who are an enable to teach themselves.
Mr Sata said if he had a choice he would not have allowed the old men appointed to serve in the Teacher service commission wondering how an old commissioner appointed would inspire young teachers.
“And you the Teaching service commission it is a pity because if I had a choice all the men I would not have allowed them. You are going to deal with tender age and when you have men like this, what inspiration can you give to the teaching service commission. They need a lots of inspiration you are dealing with tender age you have seen exam leakages, defilement and unless we have a dignified service men run the teaching service commission not men looking like criminals,” he said.
“Go in the field, hope you bring sanity in the teaching services. Not the way they are recruiting teacher’s people who can’t teach themselves,” Mr Sata stated.

Ati am allergic to corruption… what a useless baboon
As much as your words are harsh, you indeed are very correct.
headmaster CNP. What a waste of space!
The allergy to corruption has FINALLY BEEN CURED. He is slowly becoming a friend to it.
Our president has really lost direction. He is saying that if you want to investigate a senior government official please inform me. I have to approve before you can go ahead. So if CNP says don’t investigate, then someone goes free. This is a how bad the situation is.
do not change his words, he said they should get permission. inform means you can go ahead even if he does not agree
Losing direction is one thing and exposing one’s ignorance due to little education is another.Sata has the latter.
Tisa is correct…Zambian to the core, getting permission means that it cant be denied…if the law is that then we are soooooooooooooo out of touch.
….means it can be…
All structures have law, even in the Jungle, the Lion is King and is respected. If Dogs can respect their owner, Impalas can respect the Lion who the hell are you not to respect our Great Visionary leader? thats why i call you dunderheads; Sata is correct. the laws must be followed. Wynter is very innocent.
How dare the anti corruption commission investigate government officials when these people are above the law. Its law that senior govt officials can be corrupt and only face persecution once they are voted out of office.The president is the only one who can say who is corrupt and who isn’t.So ACC please focus on MMD ,UPND and the ordinary Zambians. Who the *****made it law that the law enforcement officers needs permission from the president before investigating his friends.Lord have mercy on Zambia!
Unless u are assuming!
am a student of law ma brother a zambian based in USA and doing ma phd and what u are saying is totally unlogic no one is above the law ma brother .. even the president himself..
No no Sata didn’t just spitted on his citizens… Assad way.
Eeh!
This is sheer madness from a person who calls himself president. How can he request that the ACC must seek authority from the president before investigating senior party officials? Does it mean the ACC is for ordinary people only and not those in leadership? This is total disregard of the rule of law. The PF is preaching selective justice in broad day light. Where does this leave us the common citizens? No wonder the police are abusing us. So Sata is able to advise the security wings on who to pursue and who not to! What a country! Everything now has gone to the dogs. Please people watch what is happening in Egypt; we can also do it here. This government deserves to be kicked out immediately. Personaly I am waiting for someone to start and I will join immediately. I AM JUST FED UP.
I will join you!!
It is the dogs that are confusing everything!!!
BIG SACRED COWS ACC watch out, thy shall not touch them coz they posses the cure to the Corruption Allergy.lol
basata mwapwisha mwalanda and u will come ask for my vote again okay. i will wait to see what ACC will do when u are in the shoes of kabimba.
Sata remember that you directed ACC to investigate Dora to the extent of coming up with a Commission of inquiry. And when they gave you their findings you denied that saying they where trying to protect her. All this was done in the media….. Don’t forget easily. time is slowly catching up with you.
This is the funniest thing I ‘ve hear today… “unless we have a dignified teaching service commission, not men looking like criminals,”…. This is a frank president we have people.
“And you the Teaching service commission it is a pity because if I had a choice all the men I would not have allowed them. You are going to deal with tender age and when you have men like this, what inspiration can you give to the teaching service commission. They need a lots of inspiration you are dealing with tender age you have seen exam leakages, defilement and unless we have a dignified service men run the teaching service commission not men looking like criminals,” he said.
LOL, THATS SATA FOR YOU. MY RIBS ARE IN PAIN COS OF LAUGHTER
Is this man ok I wonder?Who says MMD was corrupt,you haven’t seen anything yet.Ati man of action?
Ba Kateka mwatusebanya! What a let down. And the man does not seem to have any shame, morals, decency or indeed, as it now appears, leadership qualities. We are in for a rough ride my people!
“Go in the field, hope you bring sanity in the teaching services. Not the way they are recruiting teacher’s people who can’t teach themselves,” Mr Sata stated.
AMAZING, ISNT IT? KING COBRA SPITS AT LAST.
Achisata chipa amano…bebe yewe.High time bodies like ACC stopped playing to the gallery by always issuing almost all their investigations to the press.Seleni tubombeko.
Ichisata chipa amano…bebe yewe.High time bodies like ACC stopped playing to the gallery by always issuing almost all their investigations to the press.Seleni tubombeko.
Zambians are useless!
Another reason why public institutions will always be weak in Zambia!
ACC to get permission to investigate corruption! Unbelievable!
I am happy indeed,how dare investigate Kabimba.ACC if u have nothing to do go and bury yourselves…..The presido and ministers are above the law.Sata is a personal agent from God who came to deliver this country from all forms of injustices.i can prove this:look at the number of inmates he padorns,the rate at which Districts are created,how fuel and mealie meal are coming to be the thing of the past to be in short supply,development spreading evenly and the firing and hiring of cockroaches standing in the presidents way.Ladies and Gentlemen join me praise this Angel,sing praise for his mouth diarrhoea is healed and now speak reality.musala mudabbwa soooo…Ni don’t Kubeba chabeeeee Disapointed go to hell or go and hung,let the presido work.
… the law says if you have a senior party official you want to investigate come and get permission from me.
Is it a senior government official or senior party official? Are we back in the era of party and its government?
The only solution is to change the constitution, there is just too much power in the President. How do you expect ACC to be independent when they have to dance to the tune of their appointing authority? I was appalled when I heard this news, is this being allergic to corruption and rulling by 10 commandments? Winter made his case public by going with his cadres and demanding to be questioned in public.
I agree with you.
Why should the Police wait for the President to say yes before arresting a criminal?
Change the Constitutional provisions that promote corruption and bad governance.
“Mr Sata complained that the teaching service commission has been employing teachers who are an enable to teach themselves.”
Ba LT, I am sure you meant “unable” not “an enable”
At least you who where doubting what this PF thing is all about can now be able to clearly see the kind of a person you voted for as president. This is indeed a good conformation to you that it is a one party state mentality at work here for the P.I.G.
Sata cannot fight corruption as he is the number one culprit. What a waste of my vote this was.I regret big time
I am loosing confidence in you MR PRESIDENT why getting permission atase Kabimba was wrong. Atase ba PF twa vota mwa tampa ukutumpa where is MMD? MMD thought there are guys and power was for them.
All the time some of us nowander post comments even when they are not sacarstic they will be pending moderator braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Winter, GBM and M’bembe are the ones that have been going to the press or the president has not been reading papers on this issue
Where is the rule of law here, Mr Sata? We are back to Animal Farm! Forget about the fight against corruption in Zambia, even under the PF government! presided over by a person seemingly allergic to the vise in charge.
Ba PF dont think kwati mwali e vota or shani pipo are watch you ka.2016 is not very far please just work.And you kabimba wifulunganya PF one day you will need us.
Chanda Chimba the prophet.where is he kanshi?
GBM and Kabimba brought this issue to the public through the media themselves. ACC picked it up from the media. Then how do you accuse them of taking the issue to the media when the fight between GBM and kabimba was in the media. Mr. Sata you failed to control your ministers when they were fighting thru the media. the issue is already of media interest, so dont blame ACC.
In the 21st Century sure?? I cannot believe my eyes and ears!!
Where is LAZ on this. Which law says law enforcement agencies must get permission from the president when investigating his senior officials. Just this reaction tells you the difference between our Zambia & US. the Head of the CIA was forced to resign due to investigations by the FBI & Obama was not even remotely aware. He did not blast the FBI for “not getting permission” from him. What a contrast. these agencies were created to do they jobs & the non-involvement of the president is for his own protection. What happens if they ask for his permission & he refuses then later on it is established that the protected individual was wrong. What the president is saying is that he will only suspend people when the judge pronounces them guilty since it courts, which complicates the process
That is why Zambia is centuries away from the U.S. That is also the reason why all these diasporans who claim they want to go back home to Zambia never go back; unless they are deported or run away from a case like patricia chisanga
Thats exactly what I want to know; If anyone from LAZ ( or anyone familiar with the Anti Corruption Act) could please comment on the legality of ACC having to inform the president on investigations involving members of his admin. If it is indeed as it says, why did LAZ not contest it’s legality because clearly, it invariably leads to abuse of authority by the president because it amounts to intimidation and obstruction of the law. In this instance, Mr. Kabimba made a mockery of their (ACC) mandate to investigate/ prosecute with out fear or favor.
We r in trouble, I may just hv to get Citizenship here.
I thought fred Mmembe and his post are the one who investigate people through the media.
Ala Bee ndipo anakamba ati ni cisilu ci muntu ici! My gosh! I couldn’t help laughing reading this shi.t! Eeh people! If those teachers are old and haggard , does his excellence know that he is a President of a country in which over 90% of citizens are younger than he is. You’re also old sir, you shouldn’t be our President. Your old and tired self does inspire this young nation of Zambia which is full of young people!
lol…
Eish,an independent ACC has to get permission from the president you can only commission a road when its fully done.Funny stuff indeed.This is what little education does to a man who gets power.Its called overreach and delutional thinking that everything revolves around you.
This country has gone to the dogs
Sounds like hallucinations of a hardcore wizard on his deathbed. Mfiti pakufa ibwebweta telemwaumu.
Chikala is a JOKE
His style of leadership is very close to what they call ‘ruling by decree’
I WILL NEVER SUPPORT HH OR MMD BUT BAKATEKA ON THIS ONE I CAN’T AGREE WITH YOU. HOWEVER,BA LT WRITE PROPERY AND DON’T ADD OR SUBTRACT FROM WHAT BAKATEKA SAID. LET ACC BE FREE ,LET OLD PEOPLE TOO WORK LIKE YOU. PLEASE BAKATEKA DON’T LET US DOWN.
Can someone please verify what the President is saying regarding getting permission before investigating, before we critise some of us…..law chaps where are you…..am lost mwe
No permission or authority was sought by the FBI from the powerful president of USA, Barak Obama, to investigate the powerful four-star general David Petreaus regarding his his alleged indiscretions. But in this banana republic we want to hide alleged cases of corruption by taking recourse to subjective parameters. Shame!
Narrant. How do you know? Just because you read about the tail end of things doesn’t make you knowledgeable
Actually Zero Boyz is correct. BO was informed the general was being investigated, there’s no stipulation that either FBI, NSA or CIA inform the president regarding such investigations. Even the chair of the Intelligence committee, Eric Cantor I believe, was made aware of it. Of course these are two very different sovereign nations so things may be done differently but clearly, the interference from Sata should be unconstitutional if it is not already.
The TRUE colours are finally coming out! No more pretences! At least I am one of the few who won’t be disappointed because I already knew what sort of character Ukwa is!
Ba kabwalala!!!
President uyu cipuba sana sana!
Next time zambian voters please elect somebody with some grey matter between the ears and a university education.Now we have to live with this lunacy till 2016 due to some people’s misplaced euphoria.
Mr Pongola please check before u speak.
Its funny to hear that no one is still for this failure. CNP mwa filwa bakateka.
**==
NO WONDER KABIMBA BEHAVED THAT WAY. NOW WE UNDERSTAND BA KATEKA. I NOW REGERT MY VOTE
There you have it country men and women. My worst fears confirmed!
Even in the USA, the inverstigative wings do not get clearance from the president on an erring senior official. Is this by law in Zambia? Ba LAZ, this is were you are supposed to help the masses understand issues, don’t be lame ducks.
Now we know we have another thug in State House
So, can smeone tell me if the ACC will have energy to take Kabimba to task? In the first place, the President himself has spoken and put blame on the ACC, now what else do we expect from the ACC? They must have tucked-in their tails by now. There is no justice anywhere here!
Smh first who owns zambia,are politician more zambian than any of us all?
I used to condem and castigate my coleagues who ran away and are in the diaspora. I now understand their frustration, especially some of us who travel, we experience sanity first hand in the developed world. This is really unbelivable. By the way, I am not an HH sympathiser, but this is exactly what transipired with him, the police announced to the press and the public the pending inverstigations yet he was tear gassed. Is this animal farm where others are more equal than others?
Can someone tell us if there is no undue influence and pressure on the ACC? This is the reason Winter should have stepped aside, the same way Dora did.
Okay everyone calm down now.We live in a democracy.Even sick people who should be in chainama can end up in state house especially if left unchecked,ohh sorry this one was checkedn and diagnosed by DR Chanda Chimba III. The results were televised by znbc every thursday leading to the elections,but how many of you even listened?.God allowed Chata to rule so that Zambians can wake up from their docile state of mind.So go on mr. Chata you have God`s blessings.Make these docile Zambians dance to your tune,in the end they will wake up.AMEN
For anyone that wishes to ask LAZ to inform the public on this and other legal matters that the gov,. seems to overlook here are their contact emails:
[email protected] /[email protected]
[email protected] /[email protected]
If this doesn’t work their personal contact emails/ phone numbers will be up next.
This is the worst President in the world no doubt about it.No wonder he is building himself a house when other ex presidents are in rented accomodation and pick pocketing tax payers out of their hard earned K1.5 billion cash to give to his wife.How about the other wives ;do they also need K1.5 for doing nothing.For f**k safe! Kabimba is a private citizen although he is a dull minister therefore the law enforcement agents do not need permission from you UKWA to excute their duties.Who gave that advice?Is it the same guy who has never won a case in court .Why are you building a firewall for this *****?
I think that is a bad law and needs to be reviewed. However on the other hand the president says ACC shoud get permission to investigate senior party officials does this mean also senior memebrs of the opposition party e.g HH, Nevers Mumba? In which ever way we look at it the law here isnt fair, it biased to the ruling party. ACC are a law enforcement body therefore they should investigate whoever they believe has issues. Apart from the president who has immunity but can be piling up files for him for after he leaves office without telling him that.
THE PRESIDENT HAS SPOKEN AND WE MUST OBEY. THIS PRESIDENT HAS BROUGHT US OUT OF POVERTY. HE IS ORDAINED BY GOD TO LEAD US UNTIL 2021 (two terms). SO FAR SO GOOD BA PRESIDO.
Is that how you have to behave to keep your embassy job?
Yes he brought you out of poverty by sending you to America…good for u.
the 2 of you are lost.
@65 ulicisushi sana
All those that are ranting and raving please read the first paragraph carefully then follow the flow of the article. Don’t be mislead by the catchy headline and the selective reported speech in the article. If it’s true that the law requires that the ACC informs him of these investigations then ACC needs to be told off so that next time they act professionally and not run to the media. Everybody it seems wants to be ‘heard’ so as to be seen to be ‘working’.
Guys, am sure you understand what Sata meant to say and please, don’t take his words on corruption literally.
I will admit though, this m.o.t.h.e.r.f.u.c.k.e.r is f.u.c.k.i.n.g HILARIOUS.
Am still laughing…hahahahahaha yaba. Ati ACC should ask for permission before investigating senior party officials? Really? Really?
So I guess we all know the reason Kabimba has been behaving like a monkey lately especially when it come to the ACC.
This kolwe is protected by the chief baboon himself.
Monkey tricks, is an understatement here guys. I rest my case now!
I CANT BELIVE YOU ARE SO BLIND AND CAN NOT SEE THE GREAT DEVELOPMENT SATA HAS BROUGHT FOR US. Sata mukali bane!!! i like how he works with GBM, Wynter and Kambwili. THIS IS A WINNING TEAM. Infact i just saw Guy Scott pass in his VX about 20 minutes ago; I PROUDLY GAVE WAY AND FELT PROUD OF BEING A PART OF THE 90 DAY LEGACY. Pa Bwato
you can never be like Mushota. you are so boring!!!!!!!!!!
Umupondo. The issue here is ACC were unprofessional in their conduct. Why did they not just summon Kabimba without telling the whole world what they were planning to do? They could have interviewed him quietly then made a statement later.
They did not initiate this issue, they got it from the media when GBM and Kabimba were accusing each other of corruption. There was already media interest so cannt keep it secret.
Are you serious man?
Bemba Man. You have missed my point completely! What am saying is that ACC should have conducted their investigations and questioning out of the eyes of the media and not allow themselves to get caught up in the media frenzy.
Ba Maja! The press must have sensed something when they noticed PF cadres gathering at the commission offices.
Ok, so when other such as UPND’s HH behave the same, it’s a problem that becomes PF’s public outcry not to mention the police, coming in full “riot” gear? Be realistic for once. You’re NOT making any sense Maja, am sorry man. Go and read my last post @ #86. Hopefully, you’ve sobered up now and can truly understand my position on this issue. Thanks.
ACC is toothless. Case closed.
its your ……………………….that is toothless (fill in the blanks)
Ukwa pretends ACC called the press not Kabimba , his blind followers take it for the truth and conveniently forget what actually happened.
Excellent comment #70. very good comment. Dont follow these diaspora boys like Jo Jo who are just lying to Zambians.
a state funeral is ideal this time of the year..
Beleg, i warned you the other day. Hebrews says respect your leaders. Learn to abide with God’s Word. dont be an indisciplined boy
Do not use God’s name in vain, i wont repeat that warning to you again.
This is the worst President in the world no doubt about it.No wonder he is building himself a house when other ex presidents are in rented accomodation and pick pocketing tax payers out of their hard earned K1.5 billion cash to give to his wife.How about the other wives ;do they also need K1.5 for doing nothing.For f**k safe!

If a person remains mute about something,then he/she has a big share of the ”gold”..SATA is following the footsteps of RB.he has disappointed me so much.i wonder what is with wynter..the boy thinks is powerful atase
#76 you are unwise and being immature. You are just not able to see the development the great leader has brought us. cars are full at Manda hill. Chaps are just spending. More Money!!!
Do you call a car acquired through a loan secured against your house development?For your own information Africa (Zambia inculded) has became a dumping Zone for used cars from Europe and Asia.The moment you get the same car you are calling development,a few months down the road, the car will start to give you problems.The Banks are still going to demand and get their monthly repayments.What I would call developement is when the people of Siavonga get tap water rather than getting water from crocodile infested lake Kariba.Another one is ,when electricity is made available across every town and city.
It shall become as gravel in your mouths…
Elo lwanya nomba, please someone educate us on the presidential claims before we throw stones on him!
Beleg boy #75.1, Hebrews 13 v 17 says “Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you……………………” please i beg you to read it. You are a very silly boy and your threats are as weak as your posts.
Abaiche aba! They can only tell the media if the person being investigated is not in PF. Sata announced that Nevers was being investigated to the media. He also released the lsit of HH’s assets to the media. What hypocrisy! Seleni tubepeko!
#70, I suggest you go back and read: ACC to question Kabimba this afternoon as Sata maintains a Zero tolerance to corruption stance :- published on December 3, 2012. The ACC was NOT “unprofessional in their conduct”. This was a publicized interview and should’nt have come as a surprise to anyone. Hell, haven’t the ACC publicized all other cases before an interview? Go back and read all the MMD (especially Dora’s) cases on corruption.
What you need to know and ask yourself is, what was/is so special about Wynter Kabimba for the ACC keep everything hush hush? Being a cabinet minister does NOT make any-one citizen above any Zambian laws period.
So, tell me; does Kabimba’s overall behaviour at the ACC offices (regardless of the fact), make any sense to you? Am waiting…
Now we all know Sata was involved in the stupid deal, why should ACC seek permission to interview Kabimba? What is so special about kabimba’s corruption? Atase mwilatwangasha imwe ayini, ifyabupuba
“Mwinchusha nshilanya” said Maiko Sata
@Umupondo. Your reasoning is shocking to say the least. Suppose you were the ACC Director and saw this ‘circus’ being played out in the media. Are you saying that you would also join in instead of being independent and professional? What #70 is saying is that ACC needs to be more professional and not be swayed with the wind at no time is he/she condoning WK’s behaviour. Just because someone chooses to show their foley in public doesn’t mean you should do the same! You really are a rebel without a cause.
The law says if you are investigating a senior party official then you need to get permission from me. What a useless law this one one is. Why ask for permission from him? Is it because he is a god or the law itself? We have all seen the Evil that we chose for president for those who chose on our behalf. This man is an embodiment of corruption. He is corrupt to the core and this story of him getting sick with corruption are political pronouncements to blind those who support him. He has a clear and well documented track record of being a thief and corrupt.
I was really shocked with his support for corrupt officials in his government.
#84, common sense defies logic indeed. Who in this whole scenario is acting unprofessional? ACC or Kabimba? Was it not clear what the ACC’s intentions were with regards to their public statement on Kabimba’s interview?
Secondly, Kabimba proceeded to go ahead and “show up” at the ACC offices with his so-called entourage. Did he not? Seems you don’t understand my original post nor do you remotely make sense of my reponse to #70. If Kabimba did not want to be interviewed by the ACC with his possy in toll, he should have informed the ACC prior to physically going to their offices. In essence, what Kabimba did was too intentionally mock the ACC and “prove” that his little bafoon ass is indeed their boss. Therefore, I have to say to you…Booty that your comment above is irrelevant.
As a by the way…if you don’t see the ignorance being perpertuated by Kabimba at the ACC in the Muvi tv clip, then you deserve to kill yourself.
Go and watch this clip you narrow minded bloggers with no common sense.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yAXbfUSe2k8
We made our bed, now we must lie on it. The new commissioner has already been intimidated, now watch these investigations fizzle into thin air.
This is the same man who displayed HH’s accounts without any cause. Does it mean only Winter Kabbamba & Great Bag of Maize are entitled to privacy? Surely these are madly double standards.
Can someone educate me, which requires ACC to seek permission from Satana? The plain reality is that Sata receives a cutting from this himself. HH is the way forward nothing more nothing less
I mean’t which law requires ACC to seek permission?
You read my mind, I just asked the same question.
And while am thinking about it, for those who are truly abreast of what the ZAMBIAN law says, would you please be so kind to point me in that direction? I’d like to see and read for myself what this law ba kateka is talking about:
“I won’t suspend anybody unless you prove to me, the law says if you have a senior party official you want to investigate come and get permission from me. You don’t go to the press and say we are investigating somebody. That’s the MMD way of doing things,”
Only serious people need to respond to this. Thank you.
The president has a point
People not as educated as some of us, cant see what we see.
He is right, if you don’t agree you need your head examined and should be ashamed of yourself
Thanks
uli kabwa naiwe kamushota
So, you and the president are educated?
Ha!
Give yourself a break.
Take that thumb out of your mouth and go suck a d.i.c.k.
ichi chimudala chi loshi
Even ‘Choc Ice’ Mushota has shown more analytical tact than this ‘rebel without a cause’ Umupondo. NO ONE is saying what Kabimba did is right, but ACC should have known better and deployed a better strategy in how they dealt with such a politically thorny issue. equally NO ONE wants to see MMD’s way of doing things ever again. Is that so difficult for you so called ‘serious person’ to comprehend?
Booty you are useless as your matako!
The adviser pls pls advise the president in manner that he wanted this country be ruled . apopena bakateka mwaluba . Mwebapalama kulupwalwa kateka esheni ukubatumina tu lamya uko bayamba ukulola nimukonaula party . we want the spirit of fighting corruption . awe mwaluba bakateka NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW INCLUDING UR SELF .
#93 Booty: look man…#70’s point to me was this the issue of the ACC being “unprofessional in their conduct.” My rebutal directly points to that statement.
Now, whether or not you elect to side with that homo man #91 is your choice. I did ask both you and #70 a couple of questions which you have purposely avoided. Am certain the majority of Zambians could
careless if the ACC publicized the interview notice or not. On the other hand, it’s evident; Kabimba’s intent to ridicule and belittle the ACC in public was not only deliberate but quite immature. He is NOT above the law. Minus the title and a cabinet job, Wynter is NOTHING!
I admit it though, you have a narrow thought process. I finally see why you say #91’s comment has “analytical tact”. Done!
#wekeepitmoving#
Still i cant believe my ears foor wht i ve head neither my eyes.bla bla wth big mouth yaba!!!
what a rotten ZED…! :((
:((
Please forget about Kabimba’s investigation it has with immediate effect died right there.The President has prevailed on it, can’t you get it ..greasy heads?
bakateka na wynter is it summer baonaula pf.they have betrayed people’s trust badly.
we all regret voting for comedians.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we are in a CRISIS!!!!
This was expected from this MAD MAN called Sata and his PF. He is now deporting foreigners managing businesses but after he deports all he will turn to Zambians.
Kaunda, Chiluba, Mwanawasa and Banda said it all! Sata is not fit to be a president.
Kabimba went with the hooligans not ACC. Sata and MMEMBE you are destined for doom! Wait till you will be investigated after your term.
Roma Catholics are not normal in their mindsets especially those who are trained in jesuits.
Sata will dance to the tune of Zambians. The innocent foreigners you are deporting will come back very soon after you are voted out.
Nothing good ever comes from the whole northern province period. The burn forests and cause soil erosion with their chitemene system, the eat monkeys sure. They are thieves I end here.
Nonsense coming from ZED,
Ba LT, don’t give us half backed news, what does that law say, the one MCS is talking about? Please do some research and quote that law so we know how to debate this issue.
A VERY DARK DAY HAS FINALLY SET IN ZAMBIA. WE HAVE THREE LAWS NOW, ONE FOR THE UNTOUCHABLES(GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY), OPPOSITION PARTIES AND ALL COMMON PEOPLE. LET THIS DAY BE THE LAST MR. PRESIDENT EVER MENTIONED A WORD ABOUT BEING ALLERGIC AND FIGHTING CORRUPTION. INDEED, JESUS HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WHEN HE SAID, “IT IS NOT EVERY ONE WHO SAYS LORD, LORD WHO WILL ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN EXCEPT FOR THAT WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER IN HEAVEN”. CAN SOMEONE REMIND THE PHARISEE IN STATE WHOSE THAT HIS TIME OF RECKONING WILL SOON CATCH UP WITH HIM. THE LORD ALWAYS HEARS TO THE CRY OF THE OPPRESSED AND HE BINDS THEM.
IN THE NEW CONSTITUTION, THE HEAD OF THE ACC MUST BE ADVERTISED, SHORT LISTED AND INTERVIEWED BY A SELECT PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE AND APPOINTED BY THIS BODY WHICH SHOULD ALSO HAVE POWER TO DISAPPOINT.
THIS IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN SAFEGUARD OURSELVES AS ZAMBIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN FACT THIS IS HOW CHILUBA SLOWLY BECAME UNPOPULAR AS HE WOULD NOT FIRE ANY MINISTER INVOLVED IN CORRUPT ACTIVITIES. THIS LED TO LATE LEVY PATRICK MWANAWASA (MHSRIEP) TO RESIGN HIS POSITION.
POLITICIANS NEVER LEARN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr president sir,i was taken aback by yo comments.The mighty presidents like Gaddafi had 2 fall bcz they thot that they owned everything.
Ali lyamo Sata, hence shielding Kabimba. This country is finished, God save us from this madness.
I proceed on the premise that our president was right at law. My question is How come GBM who is facing same issues never ferried cadres to the ACC offices? Is the president saying it is ok for GBM to interviewed and bad for Wynter? The President seems to know more than we do. He has clearly demonstrated his bias between the two ministers and also his lack of wisdom. At this rate, he has failed to inspire most people.
Corruption is Corruption, then why create ACC. You want to use ACC like its a PF party tool.
Grow up old man or wise up as you already old.
@102 Nzelu you are very stupid. Thats why you will never rule in this country. Just continue crying. Don’ you have a name for a thief in your language? What is wrong with eating monkeys. White people eat prons, crabs, lobsters etc. Was it a bemba whole stole K2 billion and hide at the farm. Ladies who are caught abroad for drug trafficking, are they only bembas? God will keep on maintaing the same tribe to rule over you because He knows that bembas can maintain order in the way they interact with other tribes. Bembas can interact with any tribe and God has seen that good trait in them. Unlike other tribes who cannot even say hai to a neighbour. Other tribes are so closed up. Some tribes are so pathetic in their behaviour such they think bembas are bad. In return God puts them as leaders
Naturally, Sata is a corrupt.
Sata is corrupt. Evidence is that he stayed in MMD when it was very corrupt. He resigned only because he was not appointed to be president. So what do you expect from this guy….
@#99 a very serious crisis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the use of having ACC if the president can be the head of this Unit, Sata has completely failed Zambia

But zoona iyi yena teikali.Kabimba will grow wings now.All in all some are above the law as can be seen by this incident and the reaction from Big people its sad.
I am also shocked by Sata’s reaction. I cannot believe this is the same Sata. Shows noone is immune to the influence of power.
Bemba man Sata. Show them the way. Teach them manners. Let them know as we ourslves know that Order is very important in Zambia. Look at the order of houses in Chawama township? In fact, Mr President some people are actually undermining your wrath, and your anger.
#108 Nzelu dont abuse your freedom to blog we dont want tribal blogging here if you have a valid point bring it out without affiliating it to tribe.Mr president sort out this winter thing we are behind in development…
..”the law says if you have a senior party official you want to investigate come and get permission from me.” If thats what the law says then it’s a dumb law. We need to change it.
Stop Insulting our president.why is it that whenever our president says something you start insulting him? Mrs Wandi didnt consult the president,also She licked the interview to the media period. We know all of you who insult him we will get you one day.UPND MMD cadres watch out.
Probably because he continually moves the post whenever an issue like this arises. By that I mean he choses his own logic, wrongly arrives at a conclusion, to justify his responses. ACC interviewing Wynter is part of the investigative process on their part so they can ascertain answers to questions that arise during their investigation.
From my reading of the ACC Act of 2012, the ACC does not require any permission from the the president unless there is a clear provision in the constitution which overrules the provisions of the Act. Section 5 of the Act provides & I quote “Subject to the Constitution, the Commission shall not, in the performance of its functions, be subject to the direction or control of any person or authority”. I believe this includes the president. If any one has information contrary to this provision, particularly the article of the constitution that provides otherwise, please share that information so that we can debate this issue intelligently
I strongly believe Sata is using the provisions of Section 16 (1) of the Anti-Corruption Commission Act, Chapter 91 of the Laws of Zambia. Unless there’s a part of the “law” that I did not see or understand, Sata’s uses this as a justifcation that he ACC is answerable to him, since he appoints the director general.
We are in trouble on this ACC issue bane!
The ACC Act of 2012 clearly states that subject to the Constitution, ” the Commission shall not, in the performance of its functions, be subject to the direction or control of ANY person or AUTHORITY …”
The Commission may ” investigate ANY conduct of ANY public office which the commission has reasonable grounds to believe may be connected with, or conducive to, corrupt practices;” The reference to the Constitution is only in so far as the Commission’s acts do not breach the same; e.g. infringing on someone’s liberties unreasonably. It is clear also, that the Commission was formed and accorded powers that endeavour to make it as autonomous and independent as possible in its functions. It does not matter that the President appoints the Director. In short, Sata is out of order.
I thought as much
