    • @NEZ, this happened under the MMD. Check the dates you FAKE “best blogger 2016”. @Mushota won that title. Why do you all act like your small god, HH, not accepting the outcome of votes/polls. God have mercy!!!

    • @Yambayamba, they even transferred HH ‘ 2006 arrest to Edgar Lungu. Upnd are the only party in the world that can transcend time.

    • A lot of ignorant and emotional pf twats here. Did my comment allude to this specific case as having being committed while pf was illegally in power? My comment is saying that such occurrences are actually the order of the day under pf. I was not talking about this particular case kikiki ala simple English you are failing to grasp. Did you take comprehension at primary school. Ubututu ba pf

  1. Guys, read the article again – date of crime between 1st October 2009 and 31st May, 2010. Are you sure PF was in government at that time? Be objective in your comments. Personal hatred will eat you up.

  2. The suspected crime was committed seven years ago, and the one for Chishimba Kambwili will be taken to court in the next seven years which will be in the year 2023. ACC sure.

  3. Fake news just harassing people to dupe the nation that lungu is fighting corruption…..what about CK ???

  4. Seriously, what is the difference in ideology, or lack of, between Lungu’s PF and Banda’s MMD apart from name change?

  5. THE ENGINEER FROM HIS NAMES IS EITHER NOT A ZAMBIAN NOR TONGA. HOWEVER THE CASE HAPPENED 9YRS AGO YABA MULANDU SIUWOLA THUS WHY HH IS LOCKED UP , RELEASE THE CHAP HE JUST DID THAT TO PLEASE HIS MASTERS BY THEN MMD (MALYA MWEKA DOLA)

    • I was there with your f00lish mother. She works hard for the money kikiki a bit of Sunday humour. Ukose
