Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema has maintained his position that there were irregularities in the procurement of 50, 000 metric tons of Urea Fertilizer by government from Saudi Arabia.

In a letter dated 7th November 2013 addressed to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Director General and released to Qfm in Lusaka today, Mr. Hichilema says the procurement of the said Fertilizer was single sourced and that there appears to be an over payment of the Fertilizer%u2019s purchase.

Mr. Hichilema says in the view of his party the UPND such kind of conduct by government allegedly constitutes corruption and that it is also a clear waste of public resources and possible theft.

The UPND leaders charged that upon his party expects the ACC to commence the process of formal investigations in the alleged act of corruption upon receiving his letter and as provided for in the Anti Corruption Act.

  1. LT, simple spelling errors can alter meanings significantly. The headline should read “scam” not scum.

  2. “Mr. Hichilema says the procurement of the said Fertilizer was single sourced and that there APPEARS to be an over payment of the Fertilizer%u2019s purchase”.

    Young man, why did you not seek clarification before going ballistic?

  3. This deal was cut out by Chikwanda , Mr Youinis Mitha (remember him the serial corrupter linked to ZAWA Land deal tooo ,also owner of Westgate on Freedom way Lusaka ) GBM …monies were transferred via Dubai through Mitha …i have full evidence off …actual figures are higher then what H.H is stating ….Mitha has openly made deals with CHIKWANDA by buying properties in CASH from CHIKWANDA and also selling maize to Kenya which he got from GBM….
    Z.R.A PLEASE check how the cash monies were paid for when Mr Mitha s companies dont have that sort of revenues . Investigate the WESTGATE FUNDING you will find these are money launderers using ZAMBIA as base ..and MITHA is center of them all … what you see is the tip of the scale of corruption .WAKE UP ZAMBIA

    • Sir, why not approach Kavulamungu for a one to one chat….this is too personal. Mr Mitha (Kavulamungu) should also be ready for frank talk…

  4. The rabblerouser boy has departed from a stated fact of corruption to an appearance of corruption when he could have simply verified facts or prices via the internet or thru the Saudi Embassy next door!

    • Precisely, he must rubble rouse to keep the govt in check. That is what checks and balances is all about, rubble rousing, making noise, being a pain in the back side, keeping on toes and any discomfort that helps and compels govt to stay on the narrow and straight road wheter it be factual or rumour or merely speculation………
