  1. Thought this is the guy that wanted to lead a political party. Its high time some of these guys are checked. Shame !! If found guilty must surely be nailed.

  2. We warned this guy to join PF when it was in opposition so that he could work with them but refused saying, he was not a kid and knew what he was doing. PF is now in power till 2016 and perhaps beyond. He would have survived and would have escaped prison. Yet, not long ago when he got wind of his impending arrest, he suffered a massive so-called “chest attack” (stroke). What now bwana Muteteka, what are you to do, go to prison? You should have listened mwana waona manje; waya webo, kuya bebele kundende…

    • This looks like a good case indeed. Hope the prosecution will prove the allegations on all nine counts.
      We must introduce a law where all politician found guilty of crimes must be barred from public office for at least 10 years.
      It petrifies me as to who do we trust with our public resources?
      I thought Nevers was clean but look at him today… I dont know about isha mutulo

  3. eh, this man was very generous to his family, all those hammer mills handouts sure. let him account for such generosity now.

  4. OK..AT LEAST PF HAS NOW STARTED FIGHTING CORRUPTION..I DONT CARE WHAT OTHERS MAY THINK BUT..THIS SEEM TO BE A GOOD STEP…CAGE THE FOOLS THEY THOUGHT THEY WHERE CLEVER….LOOK AT THE ***** BY THE NAME OF NEVERS MUMBA..AMBASSADOR KAWLALA..ATASE..CAGE THE FOOLS…I LIKE SATA

    • You are a blind ignorant rat PF Roman Catholic organisation maniac like your father Samasumo, Banda and Bwalya who are blinded by the allowances and favors they are getting from State House.

      Muteteka has been arrested because he refused to resign and join the illiterate human rights abuser Dictator Sata and his PF like the way Masumba and Namulambe has done.

      If Sata and his PF are serious about fighting corruption why can’t they arrest Kabimba Namulambe, Kapoko and Masumba? These have serious corruption cases which will only be prosecuted when Sata and PF are gone one day.

  5. CAN SOMEONE SURELY SAY THAT THIS IS WITCH-HUNTING OF POLITICAL ENEMIES? IF IT IS, THEN THIS WITCH SHOULD SURELY BE PROSECUTED. IN CASE OF ONE HAMMER MILL PEOPLE CAN UNDERSTAND. BUT NOT A MULTIPLICITY OF THEM. AND THIS IS PROBABLY A TIP OF THE ICE BERG. ONLY THE DULL ONES LIKE LIATO AND MUTETEKA ARE BEING CAUGHT. THE CLEVER THIEVES WILL NOT BE CAUGHT. THEY KNOW HOW TO HIDE EVIDENCE.

  6. Is this political persecution ?What would u do had it been u in government?We voted 4 pf so that they can deal with thieves. Can more b done please! We demand hush punishment unlike the way it has been. Y should criminals b heros and heroins?

  7. Zambian politicians are amazing full of dullness and stupdity. How can you steal and hand out public good to your family members. You see what it takes if public officers get drunk with power. They become nonsense and useless. If this is true I am ashamed that our parliament is now full of thieves.

  8. The begining of KLEPTOCRACY in Zambia!Thank GOD the ACC is acting in the interest of the pipo.Now lets see how government ll react to these allegations,then and only then ll see how independent and JUST our security wings(ACC in this case )are.An opotunity for PF to rise or an opotunity for the pipo of zambia to realise the mistake they made with PF.Nothing political here,just analytical! as the Bembas say; NDELOLESHAFYE

  9. Hope the ACC will not fumble in the prosecuting of this case. The man deserves to be in jail. Zambia has corrupt leaders. Muteteka is a sample of Zambian leaders>

  10. we dont want to see you limping when going top court Moses coz on new year eve i saw you dancing like a rhumba king at chez ntemba. so to madam Libongani take note that this man Moses is 100% fit to stand trial

  11. Ah Ba Moze, 9 counts !!!!!

    Mudala you are going in , Those are too many cases, pick up the phone and call either the Late FTJ’s lawyers or that RB lawyer called Amstardam.

    you are in real Sh***ttt!!!!

  12. Well looks like all these Hammer meal cases are just one case , why blow things out of proportion and put 9 counts.

    This is typical political witch hunt and I would not be surprised if this case is thrown out by the judge on technicalities and it is very possible, remember KK’s son walked to freedom despite killing somebody on mere technicality. I see the same on this case.

    Not water tight case if you ask me.

    Next please

    • I AGREE WITH YOU. WE HAVE A LOT OF CRIMINALS WALKING DOWN THE STREETS. THEY CANNOT BE CAGED BECAUSE OF TECHNICALITIES. TAKE FOR EXAMPLE THE CASE OF LIATO. I DONT WANT TO BELIEVE THAT LIATO IS THE ONLY MMD MP WHO HAD SUCH STOLEN MONEY. ITS ONLY THAT OUR LAW ENFORCERS ARE NOT WELL TRAINED TO DIG BENEATH THE MERE SURFACE.

  13. mwanya bafikala you were stealing and you thought you were kings..stupid cage them..next its dora then katandiwe atase

    • This is a bunch of villagers with a representative in Town, who was on a solo mission to uplift every one of them’s lives. Ichigayo in the village is like diamond. This MF needs to do time.

  14. Infact in a typical village set up, we are all related. Most likely who ever Moses would have given would have been his relative. If the recipients met the criteria set, nothing wrong. what about Pama Fi who are busy now giving jobs to their sisters, brothers, girlfrinds, concubines, children outside wedlock, unqualified cadres, criminals like masumba (As far as I know forging a paper is a crime), corrupt people like Kabimba and GBM – as they have themselves accused each other. Pama Fi please stop witchhunting and start working. As HH saya you are behaving like children fighting for toys instead of working

  15. quickly abandon the MMD and join the other crooks in PF. that way you will b shielded from prosecution. or still if that fails, the PF can initially pretend to prosecute you but then just before judgement is passed, our friend in the DPP office, Nchito can easily do nolle prosqui 🙂

  16. People you are forgetting the difference between ordinary thiefs , a lot of
    Back door deals like meeting the president at night and he still has acces
    To money, or take his corruption to PF

  17. Muteteka chipuba sana – stealing hammer mills of all things – zambia was a sangwapo under MMD shuwa – so glad they were kicked out of power

  18. Ba Elias Chipimo Junior what’s your comment this thief. If PF was not in power this thieving would not have been published. PF indeed it’s working. Only Junior Chipimo under 5 can not see. Come 2016 ni pa Bwato so that RB. his sons and his underage wife could be prosecuted .

  19. Just tell him to join PF. Zambia is already in ruins anyway, nobody seems to care. If he joins PF he will be released and acquitted IMMEDIATELY. That is how s.t.u.p.i.d the PF govt is.

  20. Call me whatever you want but i’ve always thought lawyers, prosecutors and all court officials are think. Counts 1 to 6 can all be in count 1, why not just say he stole 6 hammermills and distributed them to 6 relatives, you save time, save our reading time save stationary and consequently save the forests. It’s ‘washauti’ for 5 counts.

  21. quickly abandon the MMD and join the other crooks in PF. that way you will b shielded from prosecution. or still if that fails, the PF can initially pretend to prosecute you but then just before judgement is passed, our friend in the DPP office, Nchito can easily do nolle prosqui

  22. the day is comming when the beloved son of the dictator kabimba will sleep in prison. this guy is known to amass a lot of wealth. i hope GOD will give him long life so he can serve prison.

  23. Can you also arrest current thieves Mr Moono. The current PF are also thieves dont leave anyone or any party, please hammer all of them

  24. What happened to Zaheeda story. Was Watchdog paid to remove story? Was it a case of being threatened? Watchdog owes us explanation.

  25. Has Watchdog been compromised when it comes to stories relating tto M.a.t.h.a.n.i? Why have you removed Z.a.h.e.e.d.a arrest story?

  26. Observer Waba Ilyobe. Who told you tha Masumba forged. Do you follow the court proceedings mambala. He was genuinely given the Diploma and NIPA has acknolwged that they gave it to him by mistake. Research before posting falsehood. Atase. Ba pompwe will end up in jail. Cage them.

  27. Greedy old man,and to think that you were aspiring to be president.You have no heart , Wanting to get rich quickly ,go and rot in jail you heartless man ,you and your entire family.

  28. # 10 SHUSHU

    You are a blind ignorant rat PF Roman Catholic organisation maniac like your father Samasumo, Banda and Bwalya who are blinded by the allowances and favors they are getting from State House.

    Muteteka has been arrested because he refused to resign and join the illiterate human rights abuser Dictator Sata and his PF like the way Masumba and Namulambe has done.

    If Sata and his PF are serious about fighting corruption why can’t they arrest Kabimba Namulambe, Kapoko and Masumba? These have serious corruption cases which will only be prosecuted when Sata and PF are gone one day.

  29. Most Former MP ministers abused the authority. No wonder the clause was removed. So what are they fighting for? To abuse the power. PF minister those who abuse the power should be arrested as well.

  30. This is the way to steal,yama, you give stolen property to relatives, and not girlfriends like Kabimba does.
    Unfortunately all family might be convicted to obtain stolen property.
