Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) leader Edith Nawakwi says President Michael Sata’s defence of Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba who is under probe by the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) is a clear indication that the minister is above the law.
Ms. Nawakwi says it is unfortunate that even the order of protocol puts Mr. Kabimba, as PF Secretary General above the Speaker of the National Assembly.
She says ACC Officers are only trying to perform public duties on behalf of the Zambian people should be allowed to operate independently.
The FDD leader adds that any public officer suspected of corrupt activities should be subjected to investigations by the ACC and that the anti graft body need not to seek permission carryout their mandate.
She says justice should be seen to be done in the corruption crusade the PF government has embarked on.
On Thursday, President Michael Sata urged the ACC not to investigate his ministers through the media.
He further said the ACC should seek his permission before investigating senior members of the ruling Patriotic Front party.
QFM
PRESIDENT SATA SAID PROVE THAT WHYNTER KABIMBA IS A THIEF OR CORRUPT, THE PRESIDENT WAS DISSAPOINTED WITH THE ISSUE OF INVESTIGATING PEOPLE IN THE PRESS. SATA IS NOT A PRESIDENT OF HEARSAY.
ACC doesn’t need to prove to Sata. Sata is not the LAW.
Spot on
Trafigura has offices in Iraq, so let Wynter kabimba explain what he went to do in Lebanon shortly after giving the fuel contract and let him explain what role his midland energy company played in giving the contract. simple issue but he has no answers but resorted to thwart the interview to buy him more time, now Sata has come to his rescue.
If you dont know your geography Lebanon and Iraq are neighbors just like Zambia and Malawi.
How can they prove to him if they have not questioned him?
The whole purpose of questioning is to find answers to suspitious works. After questioning, then they can say if there is a case against him.
Remember he is not guity unless proven otherwise.
President Sata has been investigating people in the press. He did it to Rupia, Nevers, George Kunda, William Banda, Chanda Chimba etc.Â
*****S LIKE YOU ALWAYS SUPPORT WRONG THINGS
welcome back how was the honeymoon.
Correct mama but don’t worry all will be fine. The ACC is still independent and will handle this matter professionally.Â
It is ACC`s playing to the gallery the president is against with mama.You don`t investigate people by announcing all the steps in the press.
sata aitaya apa.. i thot he mean well with the fight against corruption. Anyway we shall follow this case even after PF is gone.
You will be there in 2069?
Surely, all this flurry of condemnation and criticism from an assortment of organizations and individuals about your aloof mien regarding the unfortunate behaviour of Kadimba at ACC cannot bode well for the president. Something has to give, for goodness sake.
Ba mama dont bite the finger that is feeding you ka. they will revoke your appointment ka. njala ima nyokola ka. o.k. I am just saying.
If she keeps quiet you say she is compromised, if she talks you say biting the whatever… Maybe this just proves that she has not been bought as people would like to advertise?
I may not be a cheer leader for Nawakwi but one thing I know that the woman is very comfortable financially and very hard working
its  GBM that reported to ZWD after winter reported to POST. Them two chose the media toa lay bear the issue
Kabimba read the papers, there was a hearing concerning HIV/AIDS prisoners that they not been given a balanced diet and been denied access to ARV. So Bwana be careful i have warned you.
We have new citizens entering Zambia – Sangwaporeans from the land of Sangwapo… This is what happens when you allow them to run facilities; they will distort institutions and create parallel laws to cater for ordinary Zambians and Sangwaporeans…
This is not about biting the fingers that feed you. Apa pena Sata and I am a PF sympathiser has let wynter kabimba do whatever he wants. kutumpa sana after all this little man is an appointee who has never won any parliamentary elections. GBM has kept quiet to let the ACC do the job as third in command. I can;t understand why the president is letting this little man to dictate everything. Shamuna shame. Who can blame the opposition for thinking kabimba alilisha sata kolyokolyo? This third inch Remmy Martin must be stopped.
Sata and Kabimba are suspected lovers. GBM is hated because his straight fyabupa he doesn’t entertain no wonder that other homosexual in bwinjimfumu doesn’t like GBM as well. GBM is only in Gov’t because they signed with sata that he should be allowed to recover the money he spent sponsoring PF. kwasila GBM said it his in Government for business.
Nawakwi is running around like a headless chicken. She compromised her credibility as an opposition leader when she accepted her trip to Brazil. What has that yielded by the way? She is just as greedy as these PF goons.
Chacine niwe chipena. Nawakwi has not compromised anything.Â
WHEN SOMEBODY POINTS A FINGER AT YOU THAT YOU HAVE STOLEN FROM HIM/HER THE POLICE ARRESTS AND PUT YOU IN CELLS. PROVING THAT YOU DID NOT STILL IS CONDUCTED IN COURT. LET’S UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD NOT ONLY BE APPLIED ON POOR PEOPLE. EVEN ON WYNTER KABIMBA. KABIMBA MUST STEP DOWN AND BE INTERROGATED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CITIZEN/RESIDENT OF ZAMBIA. I AM MOSTLY IN SUPPORT WITH MOST OF THE DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS SATA AND PF ARE CARRYING OUT. ON KABIMBA, SATA IS TOTALLY WRONG AND HAS SENT WRONG SIGNALS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. KABIMBA MUST SIMPLY STEP DOWN TO LEAVE ROOM FOR UN BIASED INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM. IT’S TOTALLY UN SENSIBLE TO HAVE IN HIS OFFICIAL SEAT WHILE INVESTIGATING HIM. I TOTALLY SUPPORT YOU NAWAKWI.
mr.president you are wrong on this one, what you said amounts to threatening the ACC into burrying this issue. sorry sir I cant support you on this one.
There are so many honest citizens who can do some of these jobs honestly. The unfortunate thing is such people never come to the limelight. Alas, the shrilled, crooked, skewed, brutal ones ever outshine the innocent ones. Its all about competition which derives from survival of the fittest. Many times the dishonest ones outshine the honest ones! Watch the world around you. Its an imperfect perfect conundrum.Â
“Unfortunate”? How sweet.Â
I can think of a few other words I would have used, but guess that’s why I’m not in politics?
Shut up you shameless woman. has the money you were given finished? you are coming to your senses when the opposition has already been crippled by your honeymoon mate. We dont need your voice now and no one will hear you.
Yipika ye wechinangwa we. Being in government does not warrant we have to agree with everything they are doing even when they are wrong as the situation is. Ka Wynter should go period.
It’s actually Sata’s Ministers who started their fight in the media through the PF newsletter the Post. I remember when Michael came back from one of the meetings outside the country, he even asked Wynter Maize how his fight with his counterpart GBM was going on. So everything was already public and it’s foolishness and *****ic to accuse the ACC that they are trying his Ministers through the media when the dirt linen was first exposed by PaFwaka themselves. Anyway! What can you expect from an illiterate! Education is really important!
I wish all of the so called opposition would line up and condemn that Kabimba. The ACC just wanted to interview him. If he did not want to be interviewed on his own, he should have brought a lawyer with him. He knows the drill. Instead he sought to intimidate the officers by taking a bunch of thugs with him. It seems Zambia has been hijacked by thugs. MMD, UPND and PF all rely on uneducated thugs to enforce their will on ordinary citizens going about their lawful duties.
Didn’t the quack recently rush to the papers and demand ACC to release their findings? Talk about double standards. We really are in for it with these guys.
Silly prostitute; are you only now realising that Ukwa is a deranged nutcase? You were enjoying trips to Brazil with the serpent with ka Chipimo Jr and now all of a sudden you have a conscience? Go fck yourself…
Sata is a listening president. Believe me he will react at the right time.
NAWAKWI FOR REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT IN 2016….ALL WOMEN ARE IN SUPPORT OF HER. MAMMY WE ARE WITH YOU!!!!
# 3 KWEKWE. We have said it before that Michael Sata is not the right person to talk, act and walk the fight on corruption. Sata is unfit to fight corruption in Zambia. Late president Mwanawasa once resigned from govt because of Sata corruption. Granted Sata is Zambian president but that has never made him insular from corruption. In fact Sata is now ofiicialising corruption in government. RDA is at state house and now incredibly says NO INVESTIGATIONS SHOULD BE MADE ON ANY OF HIS MINISTERS BEFORE SEEKING PERMISSION FROM HIM says the law he claims. SATA IS A LAW IN HIMSELF then Zambia is DOOMED to fight any agly corruption in the nation. Sata’s deception of his presidency is shameful to Zambia.
BRAVO MAMA! THAT’S BEING A LOYAL OPPOSITION LEADER AND NOT HH AND HIS COUNTERPART NEVERS MUMBA. UPND SHOW US MANIFESTO. STOP OVERRATING YOURSELVES.
We always knew Sata’s ways and yet people insulted us. Lyeni fi donchi fyenu!
President Sata has been investigating people in the press. He did it to Rupia, Nevers, George Kunda, William Banda, Chanda Chimba, Dora Siliya and on and on.
What is so special about his party officials? So Sata should tell who to investigate and who shouldn’t?Â
Then he should be the chairperson of the ACC.Â
There is no legal requirement for the ACC to get permission from the President before it investigates a suspect, cabinet minister or not.
The story is a ‘tell a tale’ sign of the ingrained corruption in governance. If Zedians sleep, they will wake up with nothing in there pockets. Right now some people have several jobs (and more money) in their pockets. Watch their faces and what they wear: 90 days transformation!
PF came from Zanu PF and we voted for it, so lets rally behind mugabe, sata has no managerial skills so lets live with it
Tinazigong’a na sata che. God please punish us for our foolishness.
No# 7 Bemba Man, is the example of Bemba mentality. I am from the east and no longer call us your traditional cousins with your thieving crooked ways.
Izakunyokola njala mbuya ka. your principle will not feed your children. just join us in thieving and survive. i am just saying o.k.
It is the same as marrying an akata for papers.if you avoid it becoz of your ka principle, you will suffer. i am just saying ka.!!!! dont hate me.
Bemba man or Kolwe which ever you prefer to be called, don’t encouraged people to be thieves. You better go to school,look out there  in muchinga  there should be a high school.Â
Bemba something keep stealing one day you will be answerable!
#1… but it is the same sata who distributed documents to the press at state house suggesting that HH is corrupt because of the property he holds. He even said HH stole from privatisation. So it is ok to prosecute others in the media. so what hear say are you talking about.
wlecome back form dreamland amama..!
