I thank you!!
Only government of Zambia, through corruption, can employee a couple in the same office for same functions
Look at the dates they stole, was PF in power in 2008? Shonongo mentality!!
The situation is even worse at the Ministry of Finance. There is a cartel of daylight robbers, who are protected by senior that use them as a conduit. Some of the accounts staff involved are very well known public figures. Imagine someone on a K8,000 per month salary taking home over K30,000 monthly from allowance paid for attending workshops that they don’t even go to. Their names appear on almost every payment schedule that involves big amounts.
Foolish you can’t even read you cow.check the dates was PF in government then. You rotten mabisi

upndown cadres learn to understand,it says between april and december 2008.so why blame pf for something that happened before they even formed government.HH and his minions nikuwayawaya chabe ukopo.
Shouldn’t that read, K470 thousand? Its only K470 million if based in our old currency, so old now that it doesn’t even make sense to refer to it any longer!
Too many typographical & spelling errors on this website, come on ba editor, you can do better.
Otherwise we do appreciate your coverage of various political social & entertainment issues, keep it up…
But abena Zuka were suspended for the same offense long ago. thought this case was closed.
If the president can do it what more KAPOKO followers ?
These guys stealing public funds must be put behind bars for more than 20 years.
i think the reporter and the editor must go back to learn figure, the amount in the headline and the details are completely different.
Just the Sir names, tells you which political party most of thieves belong to, the only one missing is Hakahinde Makeche??!!
Looting of public funds by civil servants is very common, Gabriel Namulambe looted when he was PS for North Western province and he was protected by his late uncle Levy mwanawasa.
