The opposition UPND is appalled at the levels of corruption and downright thieving of national resources by the Patriotic Front leaders and their cadres.
UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma says the PF is a bunch of kleptomaniac individuals who steal money, anything that they want, whenever they can and nearly all the time.
Mr. Kakoma says his party has seen and heard how some people connected to PF leaders are now supplying personal protective equipment that was donated by well-wishers in the fight against the novel coronavirus pandemic.
He said the UPND is horrified that even after President Lungu sent hundreds of paramilitary officers to secure the gold deposits at Kasenseli gold mine in Mwinilunga, his cadres took over the mine without anyone stopping them.
Mr. Kakoma noted that President Lungu led his party members into Mwinilunga and has wondered his interest in the area he visited four times in a month.
“A fortnight ago, our Member of Parliament for Mwinilunga Newton Samakai had given the Zambia Police an ultimatum to leave Kasenseli mine failure to which he was going to lead the locals to take over the mine as only PF cadres, mostly from outside the province, we’re benefiting from the wealth given to them by God”, he said.
Mr. Kakoma said President Lungu has received reports from the police and the country’s intelligence services on how his party leaders and cadres camped in Mwinilunga are exploiting the natural resource to their benefit.
“Acting on the information from the police and the intelligence agencies, President Lungu has taken a new Police Commissioner to North-Western Province to replace Hudson Namachila who is accused of having failed to protect the gold”, he added.
Mr. Kakoma has wondered why PF party Secretary General Davies Mwila has taken action against one person, Jackson Kungo the party provincial chairman in North-Western Province, over his involvement in the looting of gold in Mwinilunga.
He said the suspension of Kungo by Mr. Mwila goes to show that indeed there is no honor amongst thieves.
Mr. Kakoma said it is however shocking to the nation that Mr. Mwila is sending a team of PF cadres to investigate their fellow cadre Kungo when the police and the intelligence agencies have already handed their findings to President Lungu.
He challenged the PF should not insult and take the Zambia people for grated by sending cadres to cleanse their colleagues of criminal offenses.
Mr. Kakoma said the theft of gold by the PF elements and agents in Mwinilunga is undeniable indisputable and irrefutable truth and fact known by the people of North Western Province and the Zambians at large.
He said the theft of gold in Mwinilunga should not be trivialized as a PF internal matter at a time the country is shackled in debt.
Mr. Kakoma said this is a serious matter that does not need Patriotic Front Chairperson for Legal affairs Brian Mundibile and his band of fellow cadres in the names of Nixon Chilangwa, Syacheye Madyenkunku, Kampamba Chewe, Andrew Lubusha, and Alick Tembo to investigate the matter.
He said the only reason these cadres are being sent to Mwinilunga by Davies Mwila is that they should go and get their share of the loot taking place there.
Mr. Kakoma said if President Lungu is serious about his utterances to uproot corruption in the PF and government and his promise not to shield anyone found wanting by the law, then he should stop cadres from undertaking this investigation.
He has challenged President Lungu to take action based on the reports from the Zambia police and the country’s security apparatus.
Politicians you are all the same whether PF or UPND….,,all bandits and you all like to take people for granted…i wish there were no Politicians in the World because they are the causers of all the problems humankind is going through right now
Yeah I dont know why UPND just wants to cry and cry. Prosecute the criminals. Show us how poor our police is by doing your own investigations and from this, prosecute. That is how you can show you have got muscle. But you keep waiting for the day you will go into State House to act. How sleepy!
Suppose a dictator had benned religion in Zambia. Zambia’s purest and holiest Christian Godfridah Sumaili and her ilk would have been pontificating that thieving in Zambia was due to lack of religion.
Tayali took it upon himself to report Chishimba Kambwili to the police and eventually Kambwili is dancing pelete in court. This a chap as small Tayali. Why cant the mighty UPND with the lot of lawyers take even one case of corruption and prosecute it in court? Why always just shouting from your offices? Take action like Tayali did on Kambwili
Charles is right these thieves are shameless, two ministers are fighting over covid-19 donated funds and items. Meanwhile the president is also destined to have whole share of gold mine in mwinilunga. We are tired of these thieves. 2021 come fast we want to send these thieves into the gutters.
Religion and Politics….i think we should get rid of this two and the world will be a better place to live..wars,diseases,corruptions, stealing are all caused by Religion and Politics…just listen to dunderhead Godfridah Sumaili
The most useless opposition party in Africa without a strategy. You Unpatriotic baffuns have no clue what it means to protect National assets. We can’t blame you. You’ve never been in power.

When it comes to corruption there’s no difference between the PF and the UPND. In 2016 Munji Haabenzu couldn’t be adopted because he couldn’t fork out the K40,000 that the officials demanded. Both the UPND and the PF must never be given chance to be anywhere nearer the corridors of power, they’re dangerous criminals.
The whole country has for many years being appalled by the crooked dealings of your leader, a white collar criminal, who sold our companies for peanuts to his imperial masters. At least in pf we are actively dealing and investigating those found with cases to answer. Can the upnd say the Same?
Just vote these d0gs out of office.
@Organ,YOU ARE SPOT ON!! This gives us an idea that these guys don’t even have a strategy on how to come bring these PF thieves to account! All these things they have been crying about,they can even sponsor an individual (not a well known cadre) to take up the matter. A part from Tayali, we have seen how William Harrington has made abuse Ministers dance before tribunals!!
PLEASE READ ORGAN’S COMMENT, DON’T BOTHER YOURSELF WITH COMMENTS FROM DIASPORAN DONKEYS AND UPND PSYCHOPATHS.
This is their survival in looting and ravaging national resources through PF party cadres with bambuzo audersity where government police just watch from a far- government stops existing with characters like rogue KZ .Huge reputations, minions and dimwits have nothing to offer except support and sup typical of a parasite an institution leaving it dry.
When you have former wound dresser at a clinic to a State house political advisor, then people will know what parasites can do – ravage their hoist to nothing and take over (hoist dead) like coronavirus and begin to masquerade as a sensible individual – However, Zambians know who and what KZ has done to them.
@Organ, why has it taken you so long to realise that these UPeND are just but a bunch of dullards? Always crying they have stolen, they have stolen…. idyats!

Plezzzzzz……..CK is dancing pelepete only because he has called out lungu as being a corrupt theif…..no other reason.
No one can do anything to PF corrupt rats no matter who reports them…..
They are protected by lungu……the corruption boss.
And they want to engage the IMF for more money when they are busy looting the very resources that can help the nation come out of this quagmire. No wonder IMF is shunning them.
Did Zambians expect anything else from lungu and his corrupt gang of looters ?
Their only preoccupation is staying in power at all costs , that gold is to be used priscisly for that instead of developing Zambia.
The IMF know about that gold , why should they bailout Zambia when that gold can be used for the purpose of a bail out instead of funding PF and enriching the theives

I cannot believe these UPND goons can be so obsessed with politics when some of us are quarantined and trying to generate ideas on how to make our country productive during this Covid – 19 crisis! What sort of human beings are these?
Kakoma, listen to Anonymous! Corruption is your DNA . Concentrate on fighting it in UPND. Charity begins at home.
The oppositions have run out of ideas.no message, none of them seems have the plan for Zambia. Message is the same ‘ corruption ‘ it’s boring and lost meaning?
The truth is gold not being stolen? Why they steal gold police are watching?
