Dr Chilufya is under probe-ACC

Share

The Anti Corruption Commission has confirmed that it is investigating Health Minister Dr Chitalu Chilufya for corruption.

ACC Corporate Affairs Officer Jonathan Siame confirmed this on a brief statement Monday afternoon.

“Following media inquiries on the above subject matter, the Anti-Corruption Commission wishes to confirm that it has been conducting investigations against Minister of Health Hon. Chitalu Chilufya on alleged possession of property reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime,” Mr Siame said.

The Commission has since conducted interviews with Dr. Chilufya and a warn and caution statement has been recorded. Investigations in this matter are still on- going, however, further details cannot be divulged as this may jeopardise the investigations.”

  2. Chitalu is corrupt, all of these guys are jail bound as this is merely a tip of the iceberg. 2021 you are spending a full term in jail and you can be the president there if you like. Silly

  3. Fake probe…we know the game…this is a cover up…fooling Zambians…this man has stolen millions together with Bandit President Lungu….now they want to play their usual stupid games….what happened to Chitotela and Kampongo and Sunday Chanda…the list is endless…Zindaba Soko..Kaizar Makaka…

  4. Us Luapula United used to advise Ba Chilufya that tekanyeni, there is no way Ba Lungu can make you a favourite. You have lost Mansa central for nothing. You can’t even win as Mansa mayor.
    Look now, they have crucified you!! Funeral in Mansa…

  5. Is this a way of making possible that threats to the PF presidency candidates fail to challenge Edgar?

  6. Fake Fake Fake probe stop fooling Zambians….and he will be cleared….with stolen millions in his bank account

  7. Two tragedies I see from Chitalu’ saga, yes three tragedies indeed. 1. Some of the comments above appear to suggest that chilufya is a victim of a scheme. 2. In a normal country, Chitalu should have stepped aside or Lungu should just have fired him to allow investigations to proceed; but this is Zambia. 3. Another nolle proseque is coming and lastly issues will be muddied deliberately to instigate an aquittal and boom, just like that the narrative of Luapula victimhood will gain traction.

  8. Be strong Dr Chilufya. This is just a scheme to tarnish your name. No matter how hard you work in Zambia there is always corruption attached to your achievements. I recently bought a Toyota Hilux from my hard earned money, a month later investigations were launched, off course orchestrated by one opposition party.

  9. I think this government has done very well in trying to curb corrupt practices by bringing to book all those government officials that have been suspected to practice the vise. Kudos should go to the President who ensures that the culprits are dealt with firmly. We should give credit where it is due. I have seen past governments but I have seen very little from the past governments with regards to investigating erring ministers.

  10. There will never be any independent investigation as long as he is still a minister.

    First, he must be fired and then thorough investigation follows.

    PF must go!

  11. None the less, while guiding us on Covid19, he was exemplary and served well.

    ACC investigations are a necessary evil so as to protect us all. These are just allegations at this time. WE WISH HIM WELL if he is innocent. If not we wish him strength and fortitude through the learning process which will purify him and bring him correction before God and his brothers and sisters.

  12. Exactly how an Amos Chanda and Ronald Chitotela’s cases began.
    So we can almost always predict the outcome.
    PEPs are politically difficult to convict.
    Stop bothering CC.

  14. Yes , we all know the outcome.

    This is just lungu trying to hoodwink the international community and IMF to release aid…..

  15. What are waiting for? Even school pupils can find daming evidence against this crook Chilufya….we need to revise the constitution we can not have these ministers attend to official business whilst under investigation.

  16. What ACC needs is a lawyer as director…I wouldn’t be surprised if Chilufya has a weak case stuck on him like Amos Chanda.

  17. What happened to that army officer who built 6 brand new mansions n failed to explain his sudden prosperity. Stop busa kala nyongo n help uplift the poor please.

  18. If Chilufya is under investigations ,the rule of natural justice demands that he is suspended or put on forced leave so that investigations can go smoothly and so that Chilufya does not have access to the same evidence that will be used against him .This time as we speak may be the shredding machine must be very busy at ministry of health .We have heard that supply of covid 19 PPE is now being handled by the PF thugs .

  19. “I lost kambwili because of the same acc they came to me sayn he is rude, he is not co-operatin but up to now they have failed to prove the case, on this one i said no” who said these words? Why do you people on this platform want chilufya droped? Please respect the appoitin authority. Chilufya is innocent untill proven guilt.

  20. He was under the ACC probe long before the COVID – 19 pandemic. We have been told this before – and this investigation may ‘conveniently’ end up being botched.

  21. Fake investigations so they can be cleared before elections just like ka Amos Chanda. ACC is useless. Chella Tukuta is doing much better than ACC in exposing corruption on Facebook

  22. Chabipa ba Dr Chilufya wesu. Is it because I said that I like the way he presents Covid-19 and especially ability to answer questions, unlike other people who can’t talk face to face with their employers, except through foreign diplomats? Sorry for suggesting that you are a threat doctor!

  23. Don’t worry we will find another candidate, we have a long list of good leaders, including Nixon Chilangwa…..kikikiki….you can’t win this one can you?

  24. This is PF dry cleaning laundry machine. ACC is being used to wash them clean so it will be hard to investigate them again. DPP is also assiting by ensuing a nolle is churned out. At the end of the day us Zambians end up holding the wrong end of the stick

  25. There were even uniformed men who also testified who were being deployed by the commander. So who sent them there?

  26. corruption scandals: 48 houses social security cash luxury presidential jet ambulances fire trucks mukula trees ndola-lusaka rd malawi maizegate fuelgate swaziland landgate zesco loans corruption scandals: 48 houses social security cash luxury presidential jet ambulances fire trucks mukula trees ndola-lusaka rd malawi maizegate fuelgate swaziland landgate zesco loans

    So what the h€ll is he still doing as a minister? Why hasn’t he stood down voluntarily or stood down by his appointing authorities to pave way for independent investigations? What a country this is!

  27. Don’t worry Chilufya, the investigation will die a natural death n you’ll be in business again. Your chances of being charged are next to zero.

  28. Meanwhile ba J0na NDWII NA HANGOVER YAMENE SI SILA..

  30. Nickson chilangwa (better limp) likely to be adopted by luapula United while Julia’s komeki he will backing kbf the person who hired chavula to come and steal votes.paul moonga who steal the white party he will
    submit to Edgarr lungu what a nice race.

  31. The system itself is corrupt, appointments are based on corruption, the ones conducting the investigations are corrupt. ACC is wasting its time and resources investigating this man as the outcome is already known.

  32. Meanwhile, he leads the fight against Covid 19. Koma mu Zambia we have supermen.
    In some countries, he would have been removed so that his probing does not detract from the fight against Covid, but either Lungu doesn’t think Covid is serious or Lungu is not serious about Covid, or we are just doomed.

  33. For how long shall we be hearing that the ACC is investigating this and that without tangible results? Could it be that the ACC acts on unverifiable tip-offs emanating from disgruntled jealousy individuals? Or could it be that the ACC itself is toothless? Let’s wait and see.

  34. There are still OUSTANDING CASES that need to be Cleared
    WHO BOUGHT THE AMBULANCES @385,000 USD each?
    WHO BOUGHT FIRE BRIDGET TRUCKS @$1 MILLION USD each?
    WHO is the OWNER OF 48 HOUSES in Chalala??
    WHO WAS GASING ZAMBIANS??
    WHO OWNS THE CONATAINER OF MUKULA LOGS CAUGHT IN MALAYSIA??
    WHO ARE BEHIND THE ILLEGAL MWINILUNGA GOLD MINING?
    WHO FENCED FOREST RESERVE IN KATETE Eastern province?
    WHO HAS BENEFITTED FOM THE ROAD CONSTRUCTION?
    The list is endless….

  35. Who else is being investigated by ACC and why only him coming out eminent?? We shall not fall for this. It’s a trap to declair him clean and later push him for presidency on a “Sympathy vote theorem”…..
