Mumbi Phiri takes on Former First Lady, says Maureen Mwanawasa is a fraudster

Outspoken PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri has charged that former First Lady Dr Maureen Mwanawasa should not seek public offence because she was found guilty of fraudulent activities.

In an interview, Mrs Phiri said Dr Mwanawasa has no moral authority to even support UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema because she is a fraudster.

The Lusaka High Court in January 2015 ordered Dr Mwanawasa and five other trustees of the Maureen Mwanawasa Community Initiative (MMCI) to pay back over K1.2 million they received through a non-governmental organisation the Zambia National AIDS Network (ZNAN) for HIV/AIDS-related activities which they have failed to account for.

‘She was found guilty of chewing money meant for HIV people. I have never stolen anything in my life. Who is she now to come around and tell us to support the UPND just because she is supporting HH who has also failed to tell us how he got his money, you know, birds of the same feathers flock together,’ Mrs Phiri said.’

Mrs Phiri warned Zambians to be careful with some individuals she said are busy campaigning to govern the nation as some of them have questionable characters.

‘We know Ba Maureen admitting to looting HIV funds but she is now pushing her preferred candidate on the Zambian people. I can only suspect that this has nothing to do with her love for Zambia but just her selfish ambitions. Zambians must open up their eyes,’ she said.

Mrs Phiri contended that due to failure to account for huge sums of money, many people died of HIV because the Global Funds withdraw funding to ZNAN.

‘This is how greedy some people can be.’

    • was exactly thinking the same. she seems to be more vocal now and I bet Ba Chama’s days are numbered. Where has this come from anyhow? You know how women are, fighting each other instead of championing the woman power. Shame on you.

    • A Phiri Anabwela kuchooka ku Munali. Mukati mwa suiticase munalibe ma politics yanzelu. Ana yangana nizayambila pati. Anaganija niyambe kunyonza anzanga kuti muzungu anikonde mama…………

    • She actually is talking sense here- she will be rubbished just because of who she is?- She makes valid points

      Mwanawasa was never cleared of misappropriation of those funds. She is stretching a little more though by accusing HH

      Thanks

    • ‘She was found guilty of chewing money meant for HIV people’…. Says so much about the calibre of the individual when you have a Minister using words such as ‘chewing’ how does someone chew money? is it an edible product? how do you cook it?

    • Surely does it mean every morning shes up from her bed she has to find some one to attack.what a use less woman,ba lungu please put people with seases in those postions not becouse they helped you to be president.that woman is just killing your party with her derty mouth.

    • So if she was found guilty of misappropriation, she has no democratic right to support any candidate? Did she say she wanted public office? How about Dora Siliya? How about Richard Kapita? How about Edgar Lungu (Client’s money and now Mathani’s money for campaigns)? How about RB and all the other thieves that have found refuge in PF to avoid being prosecuted?

    • Ba Mumbi, do you want us to point you to those that have chewed the clients money and have been found out. It may embarrass you. Stop throwing stones if you live in a glass house.

    • Just address the issue of Madam Mwanawasa diverting Donor funds meant for HIV to her private use.This is the issue at hand.Talking ill of Mumbi Phiri will not bring back the chewed money.Mrs Mwanawas must own up and repay the money.Chapwa!!!!

    • This Mumbi kaponya of a woman. What proof does she have that Mrs. Mwanawasa was the sole beneficiary for the funds? Can Mrs. Sata also account for the money allocated to her that was approved by the PF government? Can Lungu tell us his sources of financing for his campaigns and the promises he made to them? Can Lungu and the PF account for all the loans they have obtained to date? Can you Mrs. Phiri account for the development projects in your area? How many people have died in Munali due to lack of funds for medicines? I am not saying Mrs. Mwanawasa should not be held accountable but those that want to hold other account must account for their actions first. I think PF know that they are loosing the next election. Please do not dare rig this one.

    • She produced all the invoices to show how the money was spent and PF were ashamed. If it was not like that, she would have been in court right now, because PF brought out this issue after she decided to back HH. She challenged the PF to show evidence as a very smart lawyer like her late husband, as a result PF minions, swallowed their vomit and decided to invoke a nolle prosequi.

      Only PF minions and sympathisers hate this woman for standing up for the truth.

      2015 elections showed that the ground under PF is fast shifting and very soon it open up to swallow PF.

      Kabimba is doing a good job to disorganise PF ‘s base in CB and Northern provinces. While Mulusa and Lungu are fishing a dry one in Northwestern by deluding them selves that NorthWesterners are gullible.

    • Yapping and making noise like an empty bucket. shows how dull these PF members are. They have disgraced Zambians.

      LT get serious, is this the nonsense you would post for us to read?? seems you are also aligning yourselves to PF. Don’t forget that Zambians are very unpredictable and PF would be out just like MMD.

    • “Failing to account for” does not neccesarly mean she used the funds for personal gain. It maybe that they had no proper accounting system or had no qualified accounting personnel who may have taken advantage of her. Infact Maureen was not responsible for the financial operations of the organization. Mumbi is just trying to make herself relevant and inadvertently she’s just being a d!ck here. Attacking one another is foolish politics, we want to hear plans of action to revive our country.

    • Mrs Mwanawasa said during late president Levy Mwanawasa’s sickness and after his death, there had been a lot of adverse publicity about her with some people spreading rumours that she had a lot of money in First Alliance Bank and that she owned the multi-national oil marketing company, Petroda.


      It is true, kawalala nika kawalala!

    • MUMBI PHIRI, DO YOU WANT US TO LIST THIEVES IN PF?

      We will start with Lungu and end with you…. Yes you, remember what made Sata to recall you from Kenya?

    • It’s politics. It’s known to be a dirt game. This, in my estimation, is a killer punch. Let the opposition, if they are worthy their salt, respond.

  1. Feeling the pressure and ranting like rabid dog. It is known by all Zambians that Chagwa Lungu chewed clients money, and what is your comment on that. Don’t play don’t double standards you ba.stard.

    • The courts of Law in Zambia found Mauren Mwanawasa guilt of stealing public funds, this is the fact and it is there in the Zambian Law Reports.

  2. I’ve known Maureen for over two decades. I agree that she is a pernicious fraudster who is looking at every opportunity to steal. Her legal practitioner’s accreditation should be withdrawn. NGO’s, voluntary organisations and church bodies have suffered fron her avarice.

  3. Who is this Mumbi Phiri? What has she achieved in her life to start attacking people?? A hired gun of Lungu. As always, we hope the gun will run out of ammunition soon and or wears itself out due to constant shooting. Focus on organising your party.

    • Seasoned politician, Among the first MPs of His Ex. President Michael Mwango Chilufya Katongo Sata Late president of the Republic of Zambia. She is the PF deputy CEO. from diplomat in Kanya.

    • Mumbi Phiri is the former Munali MP for 5 years, former diplomat High commissioner to Kenya, and now the Deputy CEO of the Patriotic front. She is a tasted woman never you dare.

  4. Mumbi Phiri ulutekanya that is why last time you where not selected for Munali be careful you may find yourself out again.

  5. HH would be better off distancing himself from Maureen Mwanawasa for the good of UPND.
    After that court ruling, her reputation is questionable. She can never be trusted.

    • BUT MIMBI PHIRI HAS SAID IT ALL: “BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS FLOCK TOGETHER”. OR: ‘UWENDA NA NGOSHE AUMUPIPA NO KUPIPA NGOSHE NGA NYA’.

      SO HH NA MAUREEN MWANAWESU BALOMFWANA SANA ON ALL LEVELS INCLUDING SOCIAL. DIDN’T WE HEAR FROM SOME MEDIA THAT THEY SPENT A NIGHT TOGETHER AT SOME HOTEL DISCUSSING SOME STATE-OF-THE-ART APPROACH TO ‘REPRODUCTION’ ACTIVITIES?

  6. This is neither good for Phiri nor for Maureen.

    Too much talking isn’t going to work for the PF. If I were Lungu, I would chose a Party spokesperson for matters likely to bring confusion, such as this one. Just concentrate on marketing the party. What if Maureen was about to defect to PF. Come on Mrs Phiri don’t be another Kambwili who thinks he holds the register of who should join the party and who shouldn’t. Don’t be xenophobic.

    • @Tutu….

      Of course if Mrs Mwanawasa was to defect to PF she would be as “holy” as they come. Mrs Mumbi Phiri would “not see” or “remember” Mrs Mwanawasa’s skeletons. Zambians have already forgotten why they chose to vote for PF in 2011. The same RB who they listened to and obeyed during the 2015 Presidential by-election was the same one they called names and insulted in 2011!! RB has cases of alleged corruption in court but chaps who point this matter out are being threatened with defaming the former head of state. What defamation when it is public knowledge that the former President has cases in court. He went to publicly campaign for an opposing party president just because the courts ruled that his MMD party president, Dr N evers Mumba was the legitimate candidate…

  7. Engineer,

    You may not like her, but Mumbi Phiri is actually telling the truth about Maureen Mwanawasa. Just check the records. It is very true that the Lusaka High Court in January 2015 ordered Dr Mwanawasa and five other trustees of the Maureen Mwanawasa Community Initiative (MMCI) to pay back over K1.2 million they received through a non-governmental organisation the Zambia National AIDS Network (ZNAN) for HIV/AIDS-related activities which they have failed to account for.

    Maureen Mwanawasa is also not a very or truthful or honest person. I recall during one ZNBC Sunday Interview, Grevazio Zulu, congratulated her for her doctorate. Instead of admitting that it was an honorary doctorate, she went on to brag on how hard she studied and researched to get the doctorate. I was aghast!

    • But which court orders you to just pay back stolen money as if it is a bank, werent they supposed to prosecute and jail or sentence her

    • MUMBI PHIRI CAN NOT BE FAULTED BECAUSE SHE HAS THE FACTS SHE CAN POINT TO WHENEVER ASKED TO SUBSTANTIATE HER ALLEGATIONS. WHILE BA Dr FIMO FIMO CAN’T REFUTE. WITH FACTS AT HAND THIS IS NO LONGER CAT FIGHT BUT FIGHT WITH FACTS ON ONE SIDE WHICH MUST BE CHALLENGED BY THE OPPONENT.

    • Mumbi Phiri is just embarrassing our president. Why does she open her mouth and start fighting the fight that she will never win but embarrassing our president who had appointed her as a deputy general secretary. This woman is dull, doesn’t she know our president was in the same boat as Dr. Mwanawasa. Mumbi Phiri is a coward and a job seeker whose main motive is to feed her belly. Why can’t she tell our president to resign from public office because our president committed the same “crime” as Dr. Mwanawasa.

  8. This Mumbi Phiri needs orientation. She is just too personal, that’s not politics, that is stone age. Because of being too personal all the time, she physically fought with Elizabeth Chitika Molobeka at parliament. Can the British government assist with budget to orient politicians in Zambia, imagine we are at stone age and not even reached iron age

    • @Jason Ziba et al..
      Mumbi Phiri has the right to expose skeletons in the closets of Mrs Mwanawasa or any person who vies for public office. Skeletons in the closet are no good especially when efforts are made to hide the fact that they exist. Maurine Mwanawasa can participate in politics, but she should be subjected to public scrutiny. Hiding skeletons, especially of Presidential candidates, has disadvantaged Zambia for many years. This is why even the fight against corruption has not succeeded. In this country thieving at high levels is not considered a crime. Does anyone ever demand to know the expenditures under so-called statutory expenditure. Under FTJ we had “slush” funds and the MMD heavy expenditure in the 2011 campaign has gone without an eyebrow!! Why are we like this?

    • The one who is personal is yo father Garry Nkombo who was insulting someone in parliament. Don’t try to make us believe that you paly clean politic bankusa imwe

  9. CHAMA LADY YOU HAVE A BIG MOUTH. LEAVE MOUREEN ALONE AND GO WITH YOUR PF/MMD. IF SHE DECIDES TO FOLLOW UPND DONT FORCE HER WITH YOUR INSULTS. ZAMBIA IS BIGGER THAN YOUR MOUTH. VERY SHORTLY YOU INSULTED THE TONGA PEOPLE AND YOU U-TURNED WHEN YOU WERE TOLD TO APOLOGIES. EFYOMWABA BA POLITICIAN BA MU ZAMBIA.
    DORA INSULTED SATA, CASTIGATED PF BUT TODAY SHE IS A SAINT ON A FAKE NAME OF RECONCILIATION. SATA CALLED BANDA NYAMASOYA BUT HE IS THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER FOR LUNGU. AND YOU WANT ALL ZAMBIANS TO BE PF/MMD?
    2016 IS AROUND THE CORNER, THOSE WHO ARE JOINING PF TODAY WANT JOBS AND 2016 WILL COME WITH NEW JOB CREATION.

  10. Maureen has been a fraud for years. When Sata said ‘she needs alangezi’ he was right! First she did a coup on Levy first as a council secretary in Ndola she became a Tayali to Levy. He kicked out his second wife gave a job as his secretary and the rest is history. At unza she struggled with her degree used a youngman she later made an aide at Plot one…. Oil, mines, NGOs all corrupt deals China…. Isn’t she who accused a fellow woman of being responsible for Mapushi’s death? The trail is long kulibonesha tah… Levy’s hospital bills were fully paid for in France yet she drew money claiming medical bills where did it go? But for RB she would have gone in

  11. This is when our leaders are in their comfort zone. Ask them to talk policy and or economic matters and they’re mute. I would have preferred a counter to hh’s cheaper fuel policy statement but I guess I’ll be waiting forever. Please we are tired, there’ll be plenty time for personal attacks next year. This goes to all politicians regardless of party.

    • What do you expect from empty tins? Almost all of them are appointed to positions of responsibility on account of producing the loudest noise. This is the reason why countries like Rwanda, Botswana and Namibia have overtaken Zambia by far in terms of development. In those countries politicians are serious thinkers whereas in Zambia our politicians are just clowns.

  12. Let us not talk about chewing peoples money when EL did the same. Failure to account to can be stealing or not. Not keeping proper records can make one not able to account properly.

    The real mambala who chewed his client’s money is in state house and you are busy talking about someone who is not even pushing to go to state house but rather only supporting HH.

    • Walasa apo. The ‘chewer” of clients money is in state house, he has never at one time condemned corruption because he is a beneficiary and he is surrounded by corrupt fellows.

  13. I think this PF Deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri should think before saying anything. In my opinion, PF should be the last party to talk about moral authority when it comes to support for presidential candidates. I wont waste time to talk about RB, Dora, father FB, Masumba, Kaingu, mahtani, the list is long. Leave Maureen alone, you will never be half the person she is. Am not saying she is an angel but she doesnt deserve to be demonized just because she supported HH. About HH’s wealth, well, he works hard, thats why his rich but again the concept of hard work is foreign to you, so never mind

  14. There is no morality and sanity with Zambia Politics. If Maureen was to join PF, she would be welcomed by all.

    How many embezzlers from MMD have been embraced by PF. Rumor had it that even the new jail boy Liato was about to join the senior rank and file of PF.

    Just because maureen is on the opposition, she’s looked down upon?

    Mumbi, please the hill is steep. Engage low gear.

    Relax. The people of Zambia are watching. You have your president going to flag off township roads and your vice president going to commission a rural local court instead of announcing to the farmers this years indicative maize floor price.

    Misplaced priorities at play here. The harvest is ready tell us the farmers, the indicative floor price.

  15. The Zambian political scene is like a cartoon skit. Every administration wants to put down anyone who threatens their tenure by calling in corruption shots that they would gladly shield if those corrupt elements were on their side. I am looking forward to a FIFA-like implosion on these corrupt African administrations in the very near future. Those of you who steal and stash your cash abroad beware – we are closing in on you now.

  16. How long has the first lady been away from home? She has been nation trotting checking and soliciting for votes. The first family must lead by example if on family matters. They have been apart long enough. The bible says:
    1Cor 7:5 (NKJ) Do not deprive one another except with consent for a time…

    1Cor 7:5 (Wey) Do not refuse one another, unless perhaps it is just for a time and by mutual consent…

    So, it is a sin to refuse sex to your spouse. More to the point are the verses just before:

    1Cor 7:3-4 (NRS) The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

  17. A cat fight has now ensued all of step back. This is now out of our hands. We are all to watch at a distance. Ifintu fyabipa nomba.

  18. Madam shut up! we know you want to contest the Munali from your bululu. embracing questionable characters! who took Simbao, namulambe, Dora to court for corruption? PF petitioned the elections and adopted the same candidates! who has embraced Kapita who embezzled campaign funds. It is true what Eric Chanda said, your mouth does not consult your brain. You think you addressing your cadres or your grand children. You are so nauseating! So if Mrs. Mwanawasa stole report her to the police, bearing in mind that certain crimes have statutes of limitations. Stop embarrassing the president and his office. the Youth want jobs, quality health care, decent accommodation and affordable and accessible education. You so engrossed talking about people. Mule kwateko nsoni

  19. Ati HH ni kawalala! HH did not privatise the mines or any parastatal, he was not even working in govt! get your facts straight! Govt then was privatising! HH was employed by Consultancy firm that was appointed to oversee the whole process. He saw an opportunity and took it! It was and is not a crime. Dull mother! Discuss issues not individuals

  20. Whoever is corrupt should be exposed and let them account. If they apologise and seek forgiveness, forgive them.

  21. Mumbi is could have been another Dora and very soon they will fight. Mumbi Phiri is taking advantage of his mouth, just imagine a lady with good morals can she blast the husband in the public calling him that he is a kachema wa ngo’mbe and the poor husband could just look at him? Balimulisha.

  22. Mumbi please upgrade your Pre School Teaching Certificate,your reasoning is still Nursery like,Your Leader was suspended by LAZ for chewing clients money.Your Masumba is a convict,Your Dora is facing criminal charges,your RB is facing Criminal charges,your Liato in doing Time,Your Sister (Luo)looted AIDS money during the ECASA Conference, the list is endless you moron!

  23. If at all there is these dirt practices of people the likes of former First Lady , then to me debate of any kind about them is waste of time. Judge Malila must be called in immediately. Money meant for HIV victims swallowed just like that by a doctor and you call that acceptable. Please Mr Malila the credit worthy judge we need the alleged fraudster to account for the money in question . Pay back time Is now

  24. Yes,madam mwanawasa jus pay back the money,ita bad manners to steal frm the poor,when u already hav a lot of money which levy left for u

  25. Women politics is usually more nasty than men’s because them they do not easily interact and keep the enemity forever. I would advise Phiri to be more conscious of her future life. She is just a fresh young politician and it is always good as a young politician to be more smart in the way you use your words, this is a small world and it has so many thorns. The other issue is never use other people to victimise your colleagues. For instance you may not say a lot of people died from HIV and AIDS because of Moreen, that to me is a bit beyond politics. Leave those who died from HIV and AIDS alone. God is the master planner and knows exactly why some of those had to die, but there are some more still alive. Mumbi should never think that she is a super human being. Today she can go if God…

  26. RB,Dora Siliti,Hapunda,Frank pampoto Bwalya all supported E Chagwa Jamerson Lungu with their questionable back grounds.As for Mumbi Phiri who knows how many houses she has broken!So let her tone down on other women.

  27. The weight for HH &team is now being felt by Pf. But the most corrupt and flight risk characters have now joined pf and have become good people. Tell the nation how pf will reduce looting of national resources that has become so rampant.

    • What weight? Let HH register his cattle, so that they can vote for him. A normal person can not vote for a tonga. Even the national team performance has gone down because of mweene and janza.

  28. A closer look at the bellow nosed lady reviews a lot!
    Does she know that our president ECL is on record of having stolen clients money, or she’s still legs agape on all PF guys?
    “When you leave in a glass house…”

  29. This is low level capacity politicking. If she is morally upright, why does she forget that there are many in PF with even worse cases than Maureen’s.

  30. Mumbi should be taken to court so that she can learn that politics is not about making Untrue and Unsubstantiated statements!! Maureen is not a thief or crook or Whore like Mumbi Imbwa Phiri! Mumbi is like a toilet – any man who wants to piss off can just go there!!
    I have been there and I will keep going there being she is very good and gives for free because Mr Phiri’s organ is not functioning due to Diabates

  31. Maureen can not easily be trusted with all these allegations hanging around her.Phiri seem to have a point .

  32. We tongas are slow in thinking. The truth will always remain the truth that Bembas are fast in thinking. We tongas are good with cattle rearing that is the fact. We can not much with fast Brains Bemba thinking capacity , that’s a Fact. I am a tonga but I have to say the truth.

  33. Shut up you prostitute , what are you talking about , Leave mwanawasa alone take your prostitution to Mr lungu .you should talk about how you are collecting money from mahtani through Hapunda you shall account for this .

  34. Mumbi Phiri is a pre-school teacher while Maureen Mwanawasa is a lawyer.I believe empty tins make the loudest noise anyway it is up to you people to know who is worth lestening to when they open their mouth

    • A PhD holder for that matter. Lungu stole the client’s money. Why can’t you talk about him? Ka hule aka.

  35. She is forgetting that president Lungu was suspended for misusing clents money which means in the real world he is not fit to hold public office he has got long fingers were money is concerned Brian Hapunda has been fired for telling the truth that he gave Lungu and his wife corrupt money from that criminal INDIAN Bank owner.

  36. Well stated guys, the guys she is chewing with day in day out stole a lot of money from Zambian people. Clear the people in your party first then you can attack the opposition old lady.

  37. Hahahaha, she has invited herself to a legal challenge. If Maureen does not sue, she will miss an opportunity to boost her political career.

  38. Please learned colleagues no one can “chew” or “eat” money. You misappropriate, misuse, or squander money but not “eat” it! You only eat cabbage and food not money!

  39. MUMBI PHIRI YOU HAPPEN TO OWN A FILLING STATION IN NORTH WESTERN PROVINCE, CAN YOU TELL THE NATION HOW YOU AQUIRED IT? RUMOR HAS IT YOU GRABBED IT FROM YOUR EX

  40. This Mumbi kaponya of a woman. What proof does she have that Mrs. Mwanawasa was the sole beneficiary for the funds? Can Mrs. Sata also account for the money allocated to her that was approved by the PF government? Can Lungu tell us his sources of financing for his campaigns and the promises he made to them? Can Lungu and the PF account for all the loans they have obtained to date? Can you Mrs. Phiri account for the development projects in your area? How many people have died in Munali due to lack of funds for medicines? I am not saying Mrs. Mwanawasa should not be held accountable but those that want to hold other account must account for their actions first. I think PF know that they are loosing the next election. Please do not dare rig this one.

  41. Mumbi’s point is self-explanatory. Once you are suspected or convicted of any wrongdoing especially misappropriation of public funds and you find yourself in a fix( at crossroads), its up to you to decide your fate. Join PF for “cleansing” or the opposition for condemnation and trial. Her attack is more directed to HH/ UPND than Maureen in person who it seems was innocent until she declared her political stand. Such loud-mouthed leaders are just seasonal and if unchecked may end up spoiling the parties and leaders they purportedly support. They mostly keep fighting losing battles. Are these the latest tactics of fighting corruption? Joining the ruling club for cleansing? Quite laughable.

  42. Well done mama Mumbi we want women of courage. Keep exposing them Even within PF it’s your duty mama expose the likes of Kambwili, youth development funds aliba now he is boasting that he has been business man for 25yrsHow can he forget so easily when he joined PF he had no house of his own he has just built the houses since he became minister bought a fleet of trucks and farms . He was kaponya selling copper . Expose them win a as alla.

  43. Kambwili should show off the things he had before he became a minister. We want to see . please challenge the Zambian people.

  44. There should be a cleansing exercise even in the pf government, you will be shocked to learned that not every one is clean including ba kateka himself. Ba Mumbi Phiri you will regret starting this war you will fail to finish.

  45. Madam Mumbi Phiri please think before you talk. Attacks on individuals will back fire soon. Concentrate on party mobilization. This is my humble appeal. Mind you ZAMBIA is not for PF. We are watching and taking note of all these happenings, you will one day regret and soon… Timely warning madam. Stop the ….t.

  46. It’s gloves off; its time to expose Maureen to the bone. Go for the HIV fraudster to the hilt Mama Phiri!

  47. We are tired with these politicians, yesterday it was chama, then Dora, then Saboi, then pilato and now its Mumbai Phiri and Maureen mwanawasa. Please give us a break, we want development not quallaring and name calling.

  48. Now that the official Pf d!ck head [Kambwili] is taken to silence, this Ka Mumbi has seen it relevant to start being a d!ck.

  49. ….. Mr. Sata also charged that that Mr. Banda saw it fit to rush to go and commission the Dangote Cement mine on the Copperbelt because of the corrupt benefits that he has seen in the project. Mr sata said that President Banda, working with one of his sons, had awarded the US$1bn contract to Savenda Management Services. Savenda, owned by a Zambian national, has a track record in providing corporate branded ware such as t-shirts to local companies.On corruption , Mr Sata said that President Rupiah Banda had continued with his chain of corrupt activities since assuming office three years ago with the latest being the awarding of a K5 trillion housing project to an insignificant company to construct housing units in North Western province.http://www.lusakatimes.com/2011/08/02/rupiah

  50. Point of correction
    Ba Maureen does not have a PhD
    She is a honorary doctor meaning a doctor who has not read or reseaerched but recognized through her works.
    The best thing is for those of you who don’t know to keep quiet or ask before you start to shower that husband grabber with credentials she never worked for.
    Do you know what it takes to get a PhD?
    Kulaba ukupiba including pamusula ba mambala.

    • Who doesn’t know? Tell that whore of yours to stop making noise. How many d1cks has she so far handled?

  51. I fail to understand the Zambian politicians be it men or women. When they are given an opportunity to lead especially in the party in government they tend to loss focus and became so vicious. All they dream about is to demean and insult those in the opposition with impunity thinking that is governance ALAS that is foolishness which is causing this country to go down in terms of development. So ba Phiri, if you have the guts to talk please tell us the direction of your party in line with its manifesto, thanks!!
