PF’s Kelvin Bwalya Chellenges HH to bail out the Post Newspaper over ZRA debt

Deputy Chairman of elections for the Patriotic Front Kelvin Bwalya has challenged United party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema to pick up Post Newspaper’s 6.1 million US dollars ZRA tax bill and pay it up.

In a statement released to the media, Mr Bwalya described the UPND leader as a dangerous man that lacks the temperament of a national leader, but only driven by blind ambition and not national interest.

” We advise you as a self-proclaimed rich businessman and ‘Master of Wisdom’ to do the noble thing; pick up Fred Membe’s 63 billion Kwacha (6.1million US dollars) ZRA tax bill and pay it up. It is within your reach after all as a rich man together with other sympathisers at foreign embassies that pursue tax offenders in their country but want them forgiven in Zambia,” read the statement

Below is the full statement

LAWYER KELVIN BWALYA ASKS HH TO BAIL OUT FRED MEMBE OVER TAX DEBT

26th June 2016, Lusaka—the words coming of the mouth of UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema regarding the legal halting of business at The Post newspaper clearly shows that Hichilema is a “dangerous man that lacks the temperament of a national leader. One who is driven by blind ambition and not national interest.”

There is no other way to describe him ever since he gave President Edgar Lungu an ultimatum to allow the tax defaulting tabloid to resume operations despite a proven case against it the Supreme Court of Zambia.

If this is the kind of leadership we will get from a man who calls himself an ‘an economic messiah’ then the opposition has a long way to go before they can ever convince Zambians to give them a vote to oversee the affairs of Zambia.

How can a leader worth his salt publicly state that a defaulter must be excused from a criminal offence of ‘avoiding to pay taxes that must help Zambians access drugs in hospitals and save babies from dying needlessly at birth, or indeed sinking bore holes so that rural Zambians can access to clean drinking water?

Such rhetoric defeats all logic especially when it comes from a man who for years has been boasting that he has the monopoly of intelligence—this is not intelligent at all and can only lose Mr Hichilema votes in the face of those that want The Post to pay Caesar what belongs to Caesar.

His (HH) statements, however, did not come as total surprise to us looking at his dangerous pattern of desperation to rule Zambia, and turn perhaps mould it into yet another pet business project the way he tinkered with the privatisation of some Zambian assets. For his personal gain.

Justice must be seen to be blind Mr Hichilema you do not dispense a certain dose of justice to Fred Membe (The Post) just because you want him to sing praises for you and demand a different set of justice for those you perceive to be opposed to your self-righteousness.

National leadership does not work like that at all—you cannot shield offenders just because you want to become a President against all odds. If you hypothetically became President how would you expect to:

  • Raise money to pay farmers for their maize crop?
  • Raise money to buy and distribute in puts to farmers on time?
  • Raise money to pay policemen, teachers, nurses and Doctors on time?
  • Raise money to construct roads so that goods are moved from points of production to points of consumption or indeed build new schools and rehabilitate old ones, without taxes?

Running a government is not like running a back-yard ranch comrade Hichilema it is very tough business which President Lungu in under a year and half has shown that he can do with utmost resilience and tenacity and objectivity.

We advise you as a self-proclaimed rich businessman and ‘Master of Wisdom’ to do the noble thing; pick up Fred Membe’s 63 billion Kwacha (6.1million US dollars) ZRA tax bill and pay it up. It is within your reach after all as a rich man together with other sympathisers at foreign embassies that pursue tax offenders in their country but want them forgiven in Zambia.

A friend in need after all is a friend indeed as the adage goes, you have already entered into an alliance with The Post to receive favourable coverage, it’s time to honour your end of the bargain instead of issuing empty ultimatums to President Lungu for actions not even remotely linked to him.

President Lungu is busy “sontaling” 8000kms of roads, 650 health posts, universities, agriculture projects, energy projects to reduce load shedding etc. and many other practical issues that shall eventually have a long term positive effect on the future of Zambian children.

“Mr Hichilema use your deep pockets to bail out your friend…he has been around for you. It is time for you to be around for him by removing his name from the tax defaulting shame list.”

Conversely, we call upon Zambians to take a step back and check what kind of leader Hichilema may turn out to be if they gave him a chance to run a government:

One of his (Hichilema) most famous decision after all was to anoint Geoffrey Mwamba as his running mate, a man with a colourful documented police history of beating his wife, his workers and his sister in law, it is all there recorded in the troubled The Post newspaper for everyone to verify.

From appointing a documented violent man, he has now given President Lungu an ultimatum to pardon a newspaper that is taking money out of the ZRA treasury that must be used to buy drugs in hospitals and pay teachers and policemen and soldiers.

We remind dear Zambians that “Fred Membe and The Post are tax offenders while the ordinary Zambians are VICTIMS of The Post decision not to pay taxes, an action that even robbed benefits of their own workers. Ordinary Zambians that pay for importing second hand cars for resale are VICTIMS while The Post are offenders, we must not ever lose sight of this fact. Any attempt to drag President Lungu into the matter is cheap politics by Hichilema.

    • WHAT KIND OF ALCOHOL OR WEED IS KELVIN BWALYA TAKING? LYA KWISA EBANGE MUPEPA BAWISHII? AWE LIKALI! HOW DO YOU EVEN COME UP WITH SUCH NONSENSE? LMAO

    • It’s the only reastic option other than making hollow ultimatums on a people’s Government that they should divert tax payers’s funds to offset a private burden. This is why Hichilema’s political opportunism will remain for classroom political theory forever. How would Government justify the move to divert public resources to redeem tax evaders? That is sabotage of the economy in unprecedented way.

    • And this Kelvin Bwalya is a lawyer? I pity his clients. Kelvin is another failed lawyer just like his friend Edgar who stole money from a client.

    • What kind drunkness is this: Fred does not awe you any money you nicopoomps…Challenege his published tax statement. Fred actually pays more cash than some mining companies. Lungu must be ashamed for closing a viablw locally onwed business that brings money to the coffers of govt to pay doctors, teachers and including this id!iot’s salary and aclohol. Not this id!otic behaviour of another guy we need to put on the list to the Hague

    • Sheepish! What a load of trash from a so called lawyer. Doesn’t he know the implications such a bailout in this PF regime can cause? He should have had asked ECL who seem to be getting richer each day that passes to bailout the post.

    • If Zambians where serious they would have asked ZRA this question, Since the post news paper has been operating for 25 years can they publish their tax retains, If this is made available, then people will be able to judge weather the post is being treated fairly or not.

    • Where all these Kelvins coming from, taking over from real PF like Kambwili, Mumbi Phiri and chairwoman of elections Jean Kapata?
      PF is over.

    • Its a scheme by PF to distort money out of HH and the POST. They are broke and cant afford to run the campaign. A warning to Zambians. Dictators always hide behind democratically elected leaders. Usually they are hand picked because of their pretense to be humble and loyal. A democrat does not need to be a boot-licker. Once handed the reigns of power a boot-licker turns into the worst dictator ever imagined.
      I propose a bail out fund fro the post for the sake of democracy and press freedom. I don’t agree with everything the post publishes, like the way they covered Sata, but they are a better evil than these others who shield criminality. I call upon fellow Zambians in the diaspora lets bail out the post. ZRA please publish a bank acc. where we can send money for your taxes.

    • Tax avoidance or non-compliance is a very serious case. in fact had the post committed this offence in South Africa the tax authorities would have started with wiping off all monies in their bank accounts before shutting them down. There’s nothing wrong with the post being critical of government, but it’s wrong and naïve of them to think that what they say about government attracts its scrutiny of their business. Even at a personal level, you cant go round insulting me in public when you owe me – i’d definitely sort you out!!! Sympathisers of the post should ask them to sue GRZ if they think the post is innocent than condemn govt for punishing a CRIMINAL.

    • 6.1 million US dollars!!!!!! WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN DOING TO ACCUMULATE SUCH AN AMOUNT OF DOSH IN AREARS? THERE’S NO WAY SUCH A THING CAN HAPPEN IN THE UK, EUROPE OR USA AND FOR SUCH LONG WITHOUT REALLY TAKING STERN ACTIONS AGAINST THE OFFENDING COMPANY. SO THESE GUY JUST DECIDED THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE PAYING TAXES. IT’S TRUE- EMPTY TINS MAKE THE LOUDEST NOISE. GUYS JUST PAY UP. K63 BBILLION CANNOT BE IGNORED.

    • the insanity of zambians is astounding. when did HH proclaim himself as a rich man? And if he did, does it mean he should be bailing out every zambian who has financial difficulties mwebant? what kind of thinking is this. maybe the f00lish people are we, like myself, who even comment on such idi0tic messages. kwena mu zambia, mwatusangula ifipuba because of such poor leadership.

    • This ZRA money can be taken from post without closing the doors of the Post building. The court order is enough to get the money owed to ZRA without closing down operations.
      The closure is a political move by PF no doubt about that. We do not see this kind of mediocre here in developed world. Tax office don’t go to close the offices but they just help to work out how payments will be made within a specified time. Closure is political bwana.

    • SHALLOW THINKING BY THIS KA BWALYA. THE POST IS INTO THIS MESS NOT BECAUSE THEY OWE ZRA LOTS OF MONEY, NO. HOW MUCH MORE MONEY DO OTHER MEDIA HOUSES AND OTHER FIRMS OWE ZRA, YET THEY ARE NOT BEING FOLLOWED? LET US BE SERIOUS GUYS. POST IS VICTIM OF LUNGU’S REGIME BECAUSE THEY CALLED A SPADE A SPADE, AND EXPOSED THE ILLS OF LUNGU AND HIS GOVERNMENT. THIS ISSUE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HH. AS ZAMBIANS, WE ARE HERE TO DEMAND IMMEDIATE OPENING OF THE POST NEWS PAPER WITHOUT CONDITIONS ATTACHED. POST IS READY TO PAY ZRA, BUT NEED A TIME FRAME IN WHICH TO DO SO. LET POST OPERATE. ZRA IS LOSING MILLIONS OF TAX FROM POST IF THEY KEEP IT SHUT. THIS IS NONSENSE.

    • This crooked thief Bwalwa thinks like a komboni thug. No wonder they like sending all types of broke characters like those BP pensioners to harass HH for his money.

    • This CROOK called KBF has become rich by DEFENDING CROOKS in court, if one were to search a Crooks WHO IS WHO, KBF would be No:1!!!
      He thinks UPND & its leaders are so SHALLOW MINDED as the CROOKS WHO INHABIT & make up PamaFI!!!!!!
      Who are so excited to be showing off to each other how much they have stolen!!!

      Post hasn’t been closed becoz it can’t afford, it can & was only waiting to reconcile some differences with ZRA, but of course when you have Bottom Licking ba Nkusa in ZRA like Msiska, what do you expect??????

      Ask Chagwa whether he has paid his taxes – of course NO ONE IS WILLING TO COMMENT ON THE TOP THIEF’S TAX ADHERENCE – of course how can he declare tax on proceeds of theft???????

      Vote WISELY 11/8/2016!!! Vote ZAMBIA FORWARD!!! Vote for a prosperous & progressive…

    • …Vote WISELY 11/8/2016!!! Vote ZAMBIA FORWARD!!! Vote for a prosperous & progressive Zambia Under the PARTY WITH A VISION!!!! Abantu baya!!!

      #chagwamustfall!! #PamaFikuyabebele!!

      I thank you!!

  1. He failed to bail out his deputy can he bail out mmembe.Hh is just all talk no action under 5 politician.

    • He failed to bail out K15 000=00 for Dr Banda, how can he manage $6,100, 000=00 for the post? As usual vuvuzela

    • In fact HH & GBM were behind the eviction of Dr. C. Banda so that he is at a disadvantage being considered for the Running Mate position.

    • THE LOW CALIBRE OF PF LEADERSHIP IS EXTREMELY SHOCKING AND DISAPPOINTING. HOW CAN A LAWYER SINK SO LOW TO COME UP WITH SUCH TRASH AS MR. BWALYA HAS COME UP WITH. PLEASE SAVE US THE AGONY. BEFORE PEOPLE AND CLIENTS LOSE RESPECT FOR YOU, YOU BETTER KEEP QUIET. PLEASE, PLEASE…TO BE HONEST WITH YOU MR. BWALYA, WHAT YOU HAVE SAID IS NOTHING BUT TRASH. NOTHING HAS MADE SENSE. EVEN YOUR LAST STATEMENT DIDN’T MAKE SENSE. EVEN WHAT SAID DURING YOUR TV APPEARANCE, IN SPITE THAT YOU A WEAK INTERVIEWER, DIDN’T MAKE THE GRADE.

    • Govt has admitted that none of the mines has paid the 20% mineral royalty since 2014. Why doesn’t ZRA shut these mines down, sell their assets, and recover those taxes? Your answer to this is the same basis for shutting down The Post.

  2. We all know that the closure has nothing to do with ZRA tax. Kelvin Bwalya confirms to be a full participant in corruption and rigging. He seems to be very excited about the closure.

  3. Why should HH have to pay or bail anyone out? He is condemning the act which is a world wide media circus by now and being condemned by many nations and organisations. This has to do with politics and PF is using anything they can to have the better hand. People might think it’s working but it will actually work in the favour of the opposition. Too many crooked ways by brainless and dysfunctional PF. How many people have left your party so far? What quality leaders do you really have? Your own president is vision-less and cannot even lead a trip of goats.

  4. HH is very desperate for anything that can help him make it to plot 1. He is ready to lose his morals just to gain cheap political mileage. Deep down his heart HH knows that it’s criminal not to remit to ZRA taxes collected on behalf of Govt

  5. Lungu is the fastest growing millionaire in Zambia and during the last 16 months has made K13million. Did Lungu pay tax on this loot? All state Newspapers and all mines have tax liabilities to ZRA. Has ZRA closed these businesses? The closure of the Post has very little to do with paying tax. It has everything to do with Lungu’s Election Rigging Strategy. The fear is that the Post would expose the planned cooking of elections results in favour of Lungu. They are using tax to muzzle and silence the Post. The problem is there is no way Lungu can win a clean vote against HH so Lungu has no choice but to rig these elections at all costs. Time will tell whether Lungu’s election rigging tactics will work given Team HH/GBM popularity.

  6. Kbf also ask how in the US how things done companies that default paying tax why today is the us giving instructions if ka H,H please bail out your new find friend post but don’t forget what the post used to write about upnd wen they were praising Pf day in and out until nature came to their hands its like having feaces on your hands

  7. This is pure insults tinged with jealousy and envy for HH’s which Mr Bwalya will never have in his life or death. It is now clear that the closure of The Post is another way of attacking HH.
    Kevin Bwalya is just another MOTHER FUC.KER SUCKING LUNGU’s DIC.K so that he can get a job from the most corrupt and inept President. These are charlatans of corruption who are afraid of their shadows and exposure for their theft of public funds.
    KEVIN BWALYA will certainly pay heavily after 11 August – he is a marked man and we will do our best to neutralise him! What an IDI.OT!!

    • KBF, like ECL were both disbarred by LAZ. Both are thieves who stole from clients. If ECL has nothing to do with the Post closure, why is PF busy defending the decision? They know what they have to hide. The truth will come out.
      We challenge you to prove your case by publishing the Post’s tax returns.

    • @SM, the closure of The Post was the perfect and appropriate thing to do. All well meaning Zambians are happy because within The Post lies our money which Mmembe has held onto without due regard for the law and consequences of not paying tax, not just this year but several years over. Bravo ZRA. Kudos to ECL for not succumbing to the craftiness of Mmembe and his friends. Zambia needs the money.

  8. LAZ should deregister ths moron,its embarrassing to Inst. The niga lis excited of sum handouts from PF.

    Payback time is coming soonest.

  9. @5 DTrump, I am sure LT has misquoted you
    I am sure that you meant to say “Is HH the kind of leadership the UPND can provide to Zambia”? didn’t you?

  10. The so called “lawyer” is very dull and stupid.Let him look at the Auditor Generals report 2015 and ask ECL to pay the K766 million which ZNBC owes ZRA immediately.I they can’t then they must shut down ZNBC to recover the peoples money…

  11. KBF is one of those rogue lawyers who’ve appeared before the LAZ disciplinary committee countless times. It beggars belief how this crook is still a practicing lawyer

  12. Remember what HH said initially on this matter? Before it reached the public domain, he foolishly lied to have intelligence information that government planned to shut down the Post….In actual fact the Supreme Court had made a ruling on the ZRA/ Post case. This underfive never ceases to overrate himself, ati I have intelligence information, iwe that is the priviledge of President Lungu not iwe kapalala.

  13. Independent, these guys think from the back, ECL thinks from his………. Zambia is being run by the dogs, it is finished, the guy has grown big headed, if he managed to arm his cadres, chief justices, police, managed to keep his cabinet against the law. He has played on Zambians enough and Zambians have not responded by going on the street with all this garbage, he will retain power the same way and he knows Zambians will do nothing. Darkness has hit Zambia. The onlywish is to wish him……. then mama Wina can be president then we will make sure mama Wina is controlled by real Zambians not these foreigners.

  14. Again we are missing the point by discrediting the messenger. What is written here in simple terms or the gist of it is:
    1. Fred or the Post owes ZRA a government institution 6.1m USD
    2. ZRA has in the past year tried to get this money but was hampered by legal restraints from the court of laws.
    3. HH an aspiring presidential candidate should not be encouraging people or organisations not to be paying tax for payment of tax is legal.
    4. The Americans are condemning the government for this “warrant of distress” to recover money owed to the Zambian people and yet they relentlessly pursue their own using the IRS including jailing people.
    5. Well-meaning Zambians pay tax through PAYE, road tax, VAT and so many other ways why should it be different when it comes to Fred?
    6. HH is…

  15. 6. HH is misaligning himself with wrong people and shows serious signs of dictatorship and not respecting the separation of power for assuming he was the president how would he have intervened?
    7. Telling the courts to rule in favour of Fred or suspend the judges like Michael Sata did or would he tell ZRA to bite its tongue like Sata did or indeed like Mwanawasa by writing off 2m USD owed by Zambia airways to NATIONAL AIRPORTS COPORATION?
    Dear Zambians HH at the current rate if elected will be a hostage president because of favours he will have owed people and by the way have you noticed that almost half his cabinet is already appointed. Miles Sampa, Guy Scott or his wife, Lupando Mwape, Nevers Mumba, and a whole host of MMD and PF individuals who have been in government and failed to…

  16. Dear Zambians HH at the current rate if elected will be a hostage president because of favours he will have owed people and by the way have you noticed that almost half his cabinet is already appointed. Miles Sampa, Guy Scott or his wife, Lupando Mwape, Nevers Mumba, and a whole host of MMD and PF individuals who have been in government and failed to bring new ideas to move this country forward-My opinion.

    • Get your facts straight, Guy Scott is no even running so he can not hold a cabinet post as he is not a MP and his wife has to be elected first and there is no guarantee of that. Lungu has also promised every other Zambian criminal some type of kick back or job already, that”s why this country is broke and he 23 million richer

    • You are lying Pakudya Salimbana! These are not upnd cabinet members, it is a campaign team. Is Lungu’s campaign team cabinet? Stop lying!

    • look at the Auditor Generals report 2015 and ask ECL to pay the K766 million which ZNBC owes ZRA immediately.

    • You are lying Ken. Scott can be appointed to a ministerial position in the unlikely event that UPND wins!!!!

  17. Only low thinking lawyers and their minions think that way. The president, Edgar Lungu, within 6 months has become a rich person. Isn’t that shocking to right thinking citizens. Most people have been working for many years and serving but do not have such kind of money that Edgar has. Shameful, when there is no medicine in the clinics and poverty rate is growing, he amasses such amounts of billions within six months and low thinking people are saying sonta! That is money for the Zambians, they need it, from below nothing to K23 000 000 000, who knows could even be more.

  18. I have been following the make shift Post since last week when it was shut. I have noted that it is now an 8 page tabloid devoid of any commercial advert. Everyone knows that it is commercials which bring money to a newspaper, Mmembe especially should know this. The only advert is the Post courier one on page 2. The Post now is essentially a UPND campaign poster carrying UPND stories. Maybe funded by HH. I bet businesses are now shunning the paper, who wants to ssociaye with a criminal, a tax defaulter? Not good for any decent business house. Now how can the Post survive like this? To all intents and purposes the Post is dead and lying in the mortuary at Bwinjimfumu road. Time for the Post workers to wake up and demand their benefits from Mmembe before it is too late. I would not be…

  19. Who said HH should be living a life of bailing out people? He probably can do it in a business way but its not that everything should be bailed by HH or GBM. The two are trying their luck to win power through the Zambian people suffering in the majoring.
    The president, EL, in his individual capacity has never bailed anyone, even just primary school fees for anyone, at least its not on record.

    • “The two are trying their luck to win power through the Zambian people” so that they can enrich themselves even more. Have you forgotten who HH and GBM really are? Viva ECL, Viva PF.

  20. Children were dying in hospitals, students were going hungry, police and doctors were not paid while lungu hired a private jet and paid for over 100 people to go and party in NY using public funds……

  21. Stu.pid rogue lawyer.Please HH when you come into power,deregister this imbec.ile of a lawyer.This is the reason why this country is now a failed state if dogs like KBF can be called a leader.IDIO.T imbwa.

  22. People are dying at UTH from lack of medicines and Zambians go hungry while lungus bank account unashamedly doubles with out explanation.

  23. Am a small business woman n zra is auditing my books right now for turn over tax. Fred should just start paying. Zra is flexible if you are serious. If you try to show ur muscle u r finished. Just oblige post

    • look at the Auditor Generals report 2015 and ask ECL to pay the K766 million which ZNBC owes ZRA immediately.I

    • I never knew how easy it was to fool people. We are talking about educated folks who think this all about taxes. Absolutely not. Its about putting 1500 people out of work then sit back and have a beer while u enjoy watching them suffer. I thought only vultures did that. This foolish lawyer thinks rich people like hh have liquid cash. Heck no they have it invested working for them. Unbelievable.

  24. If HH bailout the Post PF will be in a hurry to misuse the money. Look at the money the spent on Campaign materials! What a waste! PF have stolen lots of money….that’s why Lungu us so rich from nowhere.

  25. I am shocked that a lawyer can have such imbecilic reasoning. We know any attempt by HH to sell himself is seen in a negative light. Whether he becomes president or not he is a self-accomplished man and your lucky Edgar Lungu needs tax payers money to even get closer to 10% of what HH accomplished from scratch. Ka Kelvin your hatred for the HH is evident, take your anger management pills on time.

  26. I wish Lusaka times could publish the Auditor Generals Report 2014 report (page 171).The report is free and available to the general public on Office of the Auditor General website.
    ZNBC owes ZRA a total K766,558,953……K257,763,228 in PAYE and K508,795.725 in VAT arrears.
    Now compare K63million which the post owes to K766 million which ZNBC owes.Closing the post is purely political and some people at ZRA are going to lose their jobs after August 11.

    • ZNBC is a National Broadcaster funded by ZRA. How can a sane man ask for ZNBC to be shut down. The problem with Tongas and UPND ubukopo bwalichilamo. That is why a Tonga will never rule Zambia. The Tongas should never have come to this nation.

    • @Independent, kci is very right here. In fact, part of the money to bail out some of the Government institutions should come from The Post. ZNBC is a Government institution and we Tax Payers are the ones that fund it. Now, one of the tax payers in the name of The Post has been very funny over the years by behaving like they are a Government institution as well. Please, just pay. That’s the only solution remaining now after all other noble means failed in the past. Viva ZRA!!

  27. It is very sad that ECL would allow such nonsense and vile to continue being spewed by a character lie this one. If this issue isn’t a political issue, why is this man the spokesperson for the ZRA? Is he a government official? It defies logic. This is why we cannot get anywhere as a nation. We have seen pastors like Pule, with little integrity and moral authority being paraded at meetings, and then this? How can you have this President continuing with such bad judgement? I know that many people don’t read these online papers but I get a feeling that we are at crossroads. It is either we move forward to a new era with change or stay in the past with ECL. This election will be a major point in our country’s history.

    • I agree 100% with your observation.Zambia is indeed at Crossroads,actually “sink or swim”.If we are not careful,we will end up like Zimbabwe or DRC”

  28. THE VOTE IS IN THIS KELVIN BWALYA HAS NO BRAINS. LUNGU SGOULD START WATCHING WHICH ONES OF HIS DULL LEADERS ARE SPEAKING FOR PF. I STILL CANT BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE WHO IS SUPPOSEDLY ONE OF THE TOP LEADERS IN A PARTY CAN COME UP WITH SUCH NONSENSE!!!!

    • When people say PF is a collection of imbeciles it is not out of malice or bitterness. It is out of the assessment of the gabbage top leaders utter.

      What a stupid piece of writing made up of cabbage after gabbage.

      And these PF cadres are busy saying “naba mu challenger HH” with such trash!

      PF kwena chishala – a gabbage site. Moronic is the true nature of PF and Sata said it all that he has very dull leaders.

      Ati lawyer but spewing such load of trash?

  29. I argue the US embassy to bail out the Post as part of the good governance support to government and suspend all other aid to Zambia including HIV/AIDS and Malaria control, and Budget deficjt and balance of payments support.

    Then the crook Kelvin Bwalya should tell us how he will finance the budget. Maybe his President will use some of his illgotten wealth from his pocket to finance. Lawyers who atole clients money tend to flock together.

    • Yes the US should not have created the HIV/AIDS virus in the first place and gotten slaves from African to enrich themselves.

  30. Its really a fool’s world now. You have a president who made $2.3m in 18 months and nobody questions how he got it. U have fake priests taking people’s wives while their husbands finance his lavish life style lol. Now you have an ***** lawyer asking a private citizen to bail out a private company towards the government and some foolish people actually concur.

  31. Are we still transitioning from the ZMK to the ZMW? Why the fcuk are we being told one day 63 million and another 63 billion? What is wrong with Zambians kansi mwabantu!?? Can we not just do one thing right for once in our fcuking lives!?? Stick to the ZMW – ZMK is rebased to history!

  32. I am ready to contribute a K25 000.

    Are there 3000 like minded individuals who can join me so that we put this matter to rest? The K75,000 raised will clear the ZRA debt and then allow some breathing space for the Post for outgoings.

    Talk is cheap and a waste of time. Can Madam Sylvia Masebo get active so that we complete this noble assignment.

  33. How can the POST owe Z R A 6.1 billion dollars? Has Z R A moved to the States that they should quote the figure in dollars. Come on you people even a fool can pick up that this is a fake figure, You guys are going to pay and pay dearly for all you are doing to the Zambian people in your quest to stay in power because you risk prosecution for your deeds BUT WE ARE KICKING YOU GUYS OUT, NO MATTER COME WHAT MAY.

  34. FACTS, FACTS, FACTS. Do not just say but walk the talk ba HH. Show us your mighty and come to the aid of your “news” paper and there after ask for shares in the company against the billions of Kwacha.

  35. ZAMBIANS HAVE RECEIVED ENOUGH LIES FROM LUNGU AND HIS PF MINIONS, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WE SHALL NOT SIT BACK AND LISTEN TO YOUR LIES ANYMORE. WE SHALL TAKE ACTION BY VOTING FOR CHANGE. LUNGU’S CAMP IS A CAMP OF CRIMINALS AND LOOTERS WHO JUST WANT TO REMAIN IN POWER SO THAT THEY CONTINUE SERVING THEMSELVES, AND NOT SERVING THE ZAMBIAN PEOPLE. LUNGU’S MAIN AGENDA IS LOOT OUR COUNTRY OF THE MUCH NEEDED RESOURCES. LUNGU IS LYING TO YOU WITH ALL THESE EMPTY PROMISES JUST BECAUSE HE WANTS YOUR VOTE. ONCE YOU VOTE FOR LUNGU ON 11 AUGUST, HE WILL FORGET ABOUT YOU AND YOU WILL REMAIN WALLOWING IN ABJECT POVERTY. IF IT COMES FROM PF, IT IS A LIE!

  36. POST or NO POST…UPND and its HH will never rule Zambia. Mmembe himself has said it in so many editorials !! The Bantustan party, the small tribal party ( now with a lot of make up trying to cover it)….!!
    I would and will vote for some one who drinks alcohol than vote for someone who drinks blood!!!

  37. I have liked this topic and I have learnt Zambians have a lot of information and huge data. My conclusion is that the best way to evade tax is to own a paper and denounce government all the way so that people can sympathize with you at closure. empty tins make too much noise. eg: compare the two running mates and see which one is an empty tin, compare the newspapers, etc. hahahahahahahaha
