Opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) Leader Hakainde Hichilema has charged that President Edgar Lunga lacks the moral authority and desire to fight corruption.

Mr Hichilema says recent allegations of corruption in government made by former Information and Broadcasting Services Minister Chishimba Kambwili should be taken seriously by all well-meaning Zambians.

He says the allegations by the Roan Member of Parliament have vindicated him when he said that the Patriotic Front government is a corrupt regime.

Mr Hichilema says Kambwili has authenticated what the UPND has been saying that there is too much corruption in the current leadership.

He  noted that President Lungu’s fight against corruption is mere deception as he lacks the leadership to fight graft in the country.

Mr Hichilema has promised Zambians that he would fight corruption like never before once in government using strategies and the plan he has for the country.

  1. That is so true.

    However, we the people of Zambia are fed up with politicians in this country.

    You all talk sweet until you assume office. Then it’s plunder open and ignore the poor.

    • Kambwili is a thief as well that promises to spill the beans and then goes quiet. We can not take him seriously. His intentions are blurred, and if you try to involve him in your strategy, it will be your downfall.

      We the people will fight corruption ourselves as you politicians are all the same and only care about your pockets.

    • A pot calling a kettle black……HH don’t forget you are also a Politician….and how did you acquire your wealth iwe suntwe?

      Anyway
      2021 vote PF (Edgar)

      I thank you

    • Yakunyokola njala HH. You are now a parrot repeating what CK said. Offer reasonable solutions man! Not repeating the same issues without proper proof and authority.

    • @IndigoTyrol ,
      Very well said, we the people or bloggers ought to unite not based on political affiliation, but as Zambians to fight this scourge called corruption. It really pains to see these so-called educated Zambians arguing, insulting and fighting against each other while trying to defend thieves, and yet their own families can hardly afford 3 meals a day. Completely brainwashed, that they try to defend the undefendable, yet politicians are on the back and laughing at them how stu.p.id they are that they can be used to the benefit of politicians. CK stripped himself of the little hope that people were trying to give him. As for HH, it’s yet to be seen, which strategy is he talking about, so far he is also doing chipante pante.

    • FOR ONCE, YOU ARE RIGHT. A CORRUPT FELLOW CAN NOT FIGHT CORRUPTION
      =================================
      CK is corrupt so he can not fight corruption.His allegations are malicious since the fellow can not prove a thing. You HH are also corrupt and du.ll. You remember the Mines you and FTJ sold for a song. You HH also are corrupt. You can not fight corruption. You are du.ll because you believe a corrupt individual like CK.
      So what are we left with? No one to lead.
      HH, you are so empty. I wonder what people who vote for you have seen in you. Empty tin. Hollow barrel.
      Prove your corruption call against the president of, by and for the people. Hearsay won’t help you.

    • @ Katondo boys Is that our TAXPAYERS MONEY that you are using to hack LT website voting system?

      Just like the Ugandan in the ECZ server room that you and your PF THIEVES used to steal the Election???

      You are just PROVING how dishonest and corrupt you are. Have you no SHAME? Thieving in broad daylight and PROUD OF IT????

      Anyway 2021 vote PF (Edgar) if you want. We have seen the THIEVES and know who you are!

  2. Instead of just barking and alluding to what BUFFOON CK said lobby your MPs to make amendments so ACC is independent free from Political interference.

    • Unfortunately, currently on Zambian political scene, there is simply no one with “moral authority and desire to fight corruption”, they are all beneficiaries of the system.
      They all bark the same, depending on who is barking when and the loudest. Otherwise, how can one explain the ineptness of the UPND MPs, completely not doing what they are supposed to do as opposition.

    • Everytime they open their mouths point to Kenya and Odinga…that is smart politics not simply crying like babies or toddlers yet his MPs are chairing useless commitees earning silly allowances.

  3. The best way to prove corruption in present age is to not only make statements in media but to back statements with proof in said media so that everybody knows & then take that proof into Parliament & move motion so that speaker can direct investigations by appropriate authorities if you fear going to authorities directly. If you cant do this then we know you’re just politicking & if there is any truth in what you’re saying then you’re are afraid of truth because you yourself are exactly the same & you know you’ll also get exposed. 1 most reviled sins in the Bible is being a false witness. A principled person doesn’t make empty accusations but takes genuine steps to back what they’re saying with love & objectivity for benefit of God’s people. God Bless Zambia

  4. Just like you also lack moral authority to fight corruption considering how you were corrupted by FTJ to undervalue the assets of luanshya mine. And as a liquidator of Lima bank, you ended up buying one of the assets (your kabulonga house) of the bank you were liquidating. Is that even ethical MR MORALLY UPRIGHT? You are in fact worse than lungu. Let the anti-corruption crusade be led by noble men and women, not people like you

    • GRZ has a complete valuation dept could not have used someone not qualified to value GRZ property even allowing for your suggestion that chiluba was too stupid to do that.Infact chiluba was too tribal to do what you are suggesting he did with HH.His preferences to the contrary were Chitalu V.Kaunda F.Mulenga S.etc who are a?l still alive.Why do you insist on accusing un innocent person records of privatisation are at ministry of commerce and these are names you will find there.The programme of tribalising govt depts started with chiluba thats how come when LPM tried to fight corruption most of those arrested turned out to be bemba.Sata capitalised on those arrests and claimed levy was targeting bembas and bembas agreed with him and supported him to his own corrupt presidence.Please give…

    • Biloko, Who is talking about privatization here? When Ramcoz mine in luanshya was placed under receivership, who was the receiver in that bogus deal? Was it not your useless hakainde who ended up undervaluing the core assets of that mine? Don’t defend things blindly. We know how much your hakainde was worth before and after the receivership of luanshya mine. He is no different from the people he is accusing of corruption

  5. It is very easy to say “I will fight corruption like never before”. But how are we going to believe you when you are a product of corruption yourself?

  6. THIS GUY IS A JOKE…………….THERE IS ALWAYS A THIN LINE BETWEEN BOLDNESS AND ARROGANCE ..A JOKE AND ARROGANT.

    • Tell me you re Joking! They investigated him and found nothing not because he is clean but he covered his tracks untraceable and only white collar criminals do that, all corrupt okes will always ask you to provide evidence knowing you won’t find any. The fight against corruption is a war of the citizens when it just happens not waiting to investigate after 10 yrs.

  7. Those calling hh corrupt should press ACC to investigate him…….period….same with lungu and his doubuios wealth should be investigated……period.

    • HH is not a fool. ACC will not find anything on him. Just like those involved in the 42 million dollar fire truck. Nothing can come out of them. They have covered their path. That is what white collar criminals do. PLEASE do not waste your time calling ACC to investigate HH or Fire Tenderers. Restructure ACC and give it more teeth.

  8. Anybody who doubts that there is an epidemic of dishonesty in our country and that this regime is the worst of corrupt adminsttrations of all time in the history of Zambia, needs their heads examined at Chainama mental facility

  9. U5, you accused Concourt Judges of corruption and yet you meant that you are bitter that they ruled against your “petition”. LAZ challenged you to prove the corruption and you have failed the test set for you by Linda. Now you say that the equally empty allegations by the very corrupt Kambwili vindicate you, really U5? Kambwili can vindicate your stu.pidity? Have you heard Kambwili table those allegations before Parliament or even ACC? Kambwili is your yardstick for fighting corruption? And with an equally corrupt GBM you have a “strategy” to fight corruption?

    Under5 boy, you really have problems with both your definition and understanding of corruption.

  10. Does underfive have a personal doctors? Did they do a thorough medical check up on the boy when he was released from Mukobeko before resuming hus political activities? Maybe arrogant as he is, the boy skipped his scheduled medicals and rushed to see Maimane? Just perhaps.

  11. I’ve no respect for people who support empty barrels all because they have a common enemy. If that is the reason you called this rally, you’ve fished a dry one. Free advise, retire now and keep the 0.99% of dignity you have left.

  12. It’s nice to see that Majority of Zambians know that the Supreme Leader HH of the UPND is product of Corruption both as a leader of UPND and his riches and hence these things will haut him throughout his life time until he repents his sinful greediness…

  13. which evidence hh the report and tell ck to report simple badala ,yo politics are childish look at savior chishimba did do the same instead of seaking attention from as hahahaha twakana

  14. Ba HH check yo
    ur self if you are really clean.
    “If you live in glass house don’t throw stones.”
    It’s high time you came out clean over graft allegations during privatization in the 90s.

  15. As Mumbi Phiri said the other time.Only Mwanawasa fought hard to reduce corruption by way of Zero torelance to Corruption thr the rule of Law. Then came RB reversed and embrace corrupt elements.Then came M.C.Sata who vowed to govrn by the rule of the Ten Commandments.Now currently you are being told to supply evidence to the very organs who are suppose to find evidence for themselves to prosecute offenders.Ask your selves where is this country heading to??

    • @ abilima

      If you shift your fat f*ucked arse, you may be able to find the ruling of the High Court of EW against Chiluba which was initiated during Mwanawasa (MHSRIP) tenure. Rupia Banda, Sata and Lungu have REFUSED to register such ruling in the High Court of Zambia and thus DEPRIVED Zambian People of USD 47 Millon STOLEN by the Crook

  16. Amongst the politicians, HH is the most corrupt and has no interest for our country but his ego. He demonstrated that during privatisation of the mine. How can someone be hiding the the strategy of fighting corruption instead of giving it to his MPs who are law makers instead, he has rendered them useless in Parliament. They just get allowances for doing nothing but just waiting to boycott the sessions.

  17. Kikikikiki indeed HH will never rule Zambia …..HH is more corrupt than president Edgar Lungu.only f0ols would believe that HH can fight corruption than ever before because WHATEVER HH HAS TODAY IS A RESULT OF CORRUPTION WITH FTJ CHILUBA DURING PRIVATIZATION.Zambians believed that Levy Mwanawasa would fight the war against corruption because he resigned from FTJ Chiluba’s MMD Govnt when HH and Chiluba were busy privatizing Govnt firms!!even HH’s veep GBM cant fight corruption because he is too corrupt as well.when GBM was in PF Govnt 2 yrs ago,he gave himself huge contrats at Zesco,FRA,etc!!HH MUST BE A LAST PERSON TO TALK ABOUT CORRUPTION IN ZAMBIA!!HH also got the upnd presidency via corruption (i.e;only a tonga can replace Mr Mazoka),this is tribalism( or indeed corruption)!!!

  18. HH u also lack moral authourity to be trusted with a big company like zambia.remember privatisation todate u havnt produced an audited acc of what happened ….

  19. The English say “it is easier said than done”! And biblically ” don’t tell your brother to remove a speck from his eye, before you remove the big speck in your own eye”! HH must be the last person to talk about corruption and thieving when he was one of the architects of selling our natural riches, the mines, for a song, from which he benefited greatly! If that’s not corruption, then what is corruption? Where is his table-mate, Valentine Chitalu? Quietly eating the stolen resources in London! At the end of his long reign, Kenneth Kaunda coined a saying ” when you point at another person with one finger, accusing him of being a thief, four other fingers are pointing accusingly back at you”! HH shut your mouth! Umulandu taubola!

  20. He should say Kambwili and GBM – his henchmen lack moral authority to fight corruption with him. So those who work with him or support him are not corrupt regardless of their corruption infested background. They are only corrupt in PF but not when they join him. Not mentioning how he became rich by using gross corruption to his advantage by selling himself viable parastatals for a song.
    This man has the poorest strategy of campaigning under the sun. Just how can he win an election with such U5 strategy.
    Its a disaster for a leader!

  21. The Chinese say the Fish Rots from the Head downwards. The Chinese govt has a zero tolerance towards Corruption.Many Chinese Businessmen convicted of Corruption are in Jail.The Chinese Leaders lead by example and do not use selective application of Law on Corruption. HH is very correct to say Lungu has no moral authority to fight and eradicate Corruption becoz he is Mr Corruption Number One himself as CK said. Lungu is unable to discipline his Ministers and Officials in combating Corruption becoz he is most corrupt. and within less than 3 years in Lungu is already a multimillionaire. Lungu has refused to investigate Maizegate,Roadgate,Mukulagate,Firegate etc becoz he has benefited from these Corrupt deals. Lungu is a Reverse Role Model when it comes to Corruption. Once a thief always…

  22. @33 Muchemwa, Why don’t you start with under5? When he behaves himself then LT will write sensible debatable articles. And we the bloggers will debate sensibly. Everything starts with under5, remember “garbage in, garbage out”.
