I thought the money was found in a ZANACO account, so what’s there to investigate, lies, lies, lies……even this old lady has learnt how to lie shame
How fast investigations conclude on fires, but takes long where there’s theft and fraud.
The government is very strong on corruption? This lady is just playing to the international community. Is she not aware that her boss, Lungu, is currently the most corrupt guy in the country? Obviously she knows and decides to look the other way. What a shame.
Nothing wrong. All governments do this when they see something criminal has taken place. I am looking forward to seeing an investigation into the privatization scam too.
You are a narrow-minded individual who is full of hatred and jealousy for HH. True let the thieves call for investigations into privatization scam which you display a total ignorance. Let them please call the following to come for the hearing ;
These are; Enoch Kavindele, Minister of Commerce, Daniel Munkombwe, Edith Nawakwi, Mr. Valentine Chitalu, Mr. Francis Kaunda appointed by Chiluba to lead the privatization of ZCCM. Mr Willa Mung’omba, Mr Abel Mukandawire was chairman ZPA, Mr Luke Mwanashiku, Mr Edward Shamutete, Mr Kaunda Lembalemba-minister of mines, Mr Ronald Penza – Minister of Finance. Mr Lewis Preston-Former president of World Bank.
Sharon especially that council house that your father privatises at a low price of K10 , now you are landlord thanks to privatisation. Id oats like like are currently living in former council houses you got free of charge and you wondering questioning where all the money for privatisation of state assets went to, you must mad.
So was the money in Zanaco or not and if it was in Zanaco as the taxpayers were told, why the need for an investigation? More loans taken out for development but where individuals try to develop there’s cadres there to steal and MPs who go as far as exploiting orphans of freedom fighters by not paying rentals or repairs. Who exactly will benefit from these loans?
