The Economics Association of Zambia has commended President Edgar Lungu for a firm stance he has taken against Corruption.
Association President Lubinda Habazoka says Corruption is one of the factors that influence foreign direct investment inflows into the country hence the need to decisively deal with it.
Dr. Habazoka said the President’s stance on corruption is sending a very good signal to the donor community and investors that Zambia is taking action to curb the vice.
He said the arrest of high-profile individuals among them the Former Zambia Airforce Commander Lieutenant General Eric Chimese, Housing and Infrastructure Development Minister Ronald Chitotela, Livingstone UPND MP Mathews Jere and UPND Sinjembela Member of Parliament Mubika Mubika should be supported by all well-meaning Zambians.
Dr. Habazoka has expressed happiness that stakeholders among them the British High Commissioner have noticed the efforts and commended the Head of state for the stance taken against Corruption.
He said the arrests have shown the commitment government has on the fight against corruption but has advised the Low Enforcement Agencies to be courageous enough to prosecute such people.
This guy is making EAZ look the way Trump is making America look; a big joke.
Habaazoka is a big fat clown. He makes the economists in the country look really f00lish.
Kwasala iwe . You have chewed money too.
Really laughable…an organisation of educated foooools
I agree with him when he says Low Enforcement Agencies because they have really become low
Says fat Albert with a straight face.
This is a classic example of “do not bite the finger that feeds you”.
Mockery
What has he done about fighting corruption, I don’t get it. I hope the person commending is not corrupt or thinks we are all corrupt.
When is his tenure ending ????? This looks and sounds like a guy who can go for the third term
Why he make EAZ a one man show?
Because educated Zambian are too scared …just want to drink and womanize..he is taking advantage of their docility!!
Retaining in cabinet an arrested minister is what you call a firm stance against corruption? What do they teach in Russia? Lungu give this moron a job, we need peace please
firm stance against corruption kikikik … my foot
There goes Chuchu again… We used to call Lubinda Habazooka as Chuchu (from No one But You on ZNBC) at Kafue Boys because the guy is a comedian and a big joke.. The guy loves attention and this corruption fight nonsense by the PF is neither here nor there…
Let qualify it for you, a useless attention seeking comedian and a big fat nonsensical joke.
infact he is one of the useless lecturer CBU has ever produced,his thinking is not new to us,even his father a former luanshya boys secondary teacher was even much better in thinking.That the problem with EAZ because they even accomodate pipo with wrong degrees to be misleading pipo the real economist are quiet while chuchu mislead the nation.I have cautioned him on several occasion on issuing careless statement that he will regret in future,anyway it seams he has no money to feed his russian woman.
Is this guy for real??
Mubika Mubika it’s thievery, Jere it’s abuse of power, Chitotela ni corruption, abuse of office, fraud. Chimese ni corruption and fraud.
Instead of blindly supporting the arrests, question for instance, why Chitotela was appointed by Lungu at the time when him had been fired by Sata and ACC and DEC where building a case against him.
Nabeve aba likes showing relavance napamene sipaenela.
Which part of Zambia is this Habazoka is coming from? His surname sounds like a machine gun and he is not a Zambian am sure he is from Arabs. What we know is Lungu is a leader of corruption he opposite what Lungu is doing shame
He is a zambian a tonga by tribe.born in luanshya town.The father was my teacher at luanshya boys secondary school,infact he is a replica interms of resembleness not brains.His father was more balanced in thinking and when it come to reasoning he was much better than that boy who is halucinating.
I mean he talk opposite. Sorry
@Peppa Pig u are crazy, ati Chuchu kikikikikiki
Fighting corruption ????? where??? how??? when this Chitotela is still an active minister issuing statements in parliament,
Habazoka is an id1ot, this chap has brain damage……..
Who are the bu.ffoons who elected this Joker called Habafyoto. Don’t you have an impeachment provision in your Constitution to get rid of this Habafyoto embarassment. The respected Economics Association of Zambia has been reduced to a vuvuzela laughing stock … single handedly. This is not how you campaign for a job. This is sebana wikute. PF took over an economy whose GDP was growing at 7% in 2012. It is now growing at 3.4% and you are ululating !!!!!
Parallel universe. I can’t see a difference between this guy and bowman. A true professional with good intentions will always attach a ” however” to alert those he is advising as to what they can do better. Those calling him a jobseeker may not be wrong!
This guy speaks from his anus and is the worst human being to live in Chinasambia under the master corrupt individual lungu. Time will come when those like ape can be caged in a normal farm and throw the keys away. No wonder Zambia is cursed with these semi educated individual from Russia. I wish he was educated in Europe or USA. The organisation he represents he a worst possible scenario one could imagine exists
You wonder where this guy lives, Zambia or Mars? Its amazing someone with a PHD and leading an organisation EAZ would openly lobbying for a job from Lungu. The level of desperation and stupidity of this
gentleman is amazing.
EAZ should impeach him if they are have any credibility on the affairs of the country.
You are joking
There is no impeachment articles muma statutes for EAZ. Please save us further embarrassment
Maliko
Your so called “statutes”are not cast in stone,amend them so that there is provision for impeachment, then proceed to impeach this sorry excuse of a doctor of economics
Delusion of grandeur to think that PF is fighting corruption. This is a problem when professionals have sold their souls on an altar of expedience. Their brains become eroded of knowledge and they turn into zombies. Most of these institution are run by puppets who dance to political relics. This nation needs intellectuals who will espouse their knowledge with integrity. It is quite disheartening to see intellectuals behaving like political cadres. We need a cadre of professionals who will articulate issues with magnanimity. It is pointless having professionals who fail to call a spade a spade instead call it a spoon. They are a disgrace and a mockery to a cadre of professionals. The fight against corruption is a delusion with such kind of professionals. We need think tanks on how to…
Please add value to your critique’s an like empty argument’s and insults or keep your insults to your selves period!!
While LAZ is busy urging Lungú to suspend chitotela this job seeker cum cadre is busy praising Lungú when in fact Lungú is still busy protecting chitotela by letting him stay in office and thereby giving him chance to hide or destroy all evidence in the ministry.
Russian Economist has confused you.
With the real culprits of corruption, the “evil” servants being picked up and getting fired, the corruption fight has taken a new dimension. Gone is the era of open public courts of opinion. Under ECL we have seen the creation of the FlC, the president can’t pick and fire judges anymore. ECL is Institutionalising the corruption fight and those who wanted him to fail are not happy. Look at the comments above.
he is an idioott
