Release the 2019/2020 FIC Report, Demands UPND

Share

UPND Deputy Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa has demanded for an explanation on why government has abstained to release the Financial Intelligence Centre Report which every year is released in May.

Mr Mweetwa suspects that the delay in releasing the FIC report is the creation of the ruling PF that the document can be tampered with.

He said the PF is dam scared with the FIC reports because it not only tells all the ills of top government offices but also names and shames corrupt officials.

He warned that the PF should not be tempted to alter the function of FIC as doing so is tantamount to violating the constitution from which it was born.

He demanded that the government should with immediate release the FIC report for 2019 failure to which the UPND will be force to speculate that the government is trying to doctor.

  1. The report was given to investigative wings. Good practice. Those UPND members on FIC bOard are no longer available to help

  2. Don’t get worked out of a piece of paper that yields no results.
    Let the folks at FIC do their job.
    You as a parliamentarian, have a duty. A duty to make laws not to wait for reports. There’s due procedure for FIC.
    Go and debate bill 10. That’s your job.
    Give people a debate on bill 10 you good for nothing walk-out puppet parliamentary upndead.
    You poke your nose in FIC forgetting to do your homework. Parliament should with immediate effect debate the bill 10 this seating failure to which the people will be forced to take the deads to task, no vote for you. I hope you will walk out 2021 polls as well.
    Damn it! What FIC report.

    • Lessons from Malawi elections, only allow locals to monitor the coming elections, foreign election monitors are always in a hurry to declare elections free and fair and move to next election in another country, how do those foreign election monitors feel after this election re run? After they declared the first one free and fair, its declarations like that which make ruling party cement their grip to power ,because that creates a sense of legimacy . congratulations Malawi.

  3. Are financial investigation skills available in the Financial Intelligence Centre also available in the ACC and DEC? I hv every reason to doubt it.

  4. How does pf government become responsible for the issuing of a document that is drafted by independent agencies. Is this boy on drugs? It seems the upnd are running out of ideas and excuses for their looming election loss. This is what happens when a party is led by a childish man who has never held public office and as such has no idea how government and its arms work. Can you surely trust such a man with power? He is only good at selling national assets for peanuts

  6. The last time FIC released the report, the entire PF government and party had their knickers and bambas tied in knots, the poor lady’s life was in danger and her private life was fair game. An you are here pretending that the report does not worry you!! Why is Bill 10 seeking to move FIC to ACC? Either you eating with them or simply naive, you cannot claim that FIC is just a piece of paper. It’s the closest the people come to knowing how their money is laundered and follow the paper trail….Viva to releasing the FIC report and abash ignorance and corruption.

  7. Cornelius Mweetwa you are head of the Parliamentary Committee that approves budgets for such departments ….why dont you summon the Head of FIC for an explanation before the committee. PF will just simply ignore you and the Lazy Lungu will just say it brings unnecessary allegations because he is a compromised leader.

  8. Chak0lwa WILL NOT release that report you are demanding, coz he’s NEVER serious, wrap’s himself snugly with Crooks like Kitotela, Kitalu Kilufya, V.@ld3n et al & everything for him is big joke & holiday in Plot #1, revolving around drinking, dancing & stealing.
    He will tell you the report is just “Mfwiti Mfwiti”
    I really CRY when I see how the “Zambian Presidency” has been lowered to that of a Chibuku Tavern franchise, in comparison to when the Zambian Presidency was held by K.K & Mwanawasa.

  10. These UPNDs always looking for dirt.

    Why do they always make allegations first and then ask for the evidence???? In Legal cases they call that phishing. You start off a case and then start ferreting around your opponents data to prove your allegations.

  11. Lungu will never release that FIC report….

    It probably shows his mukula money paths together with zayello and talisa, stealing mukula…..

    Information we have is lungus corruption was extreme in his first 5 years, where he cant even deny allegations that he is a corrupt theif. In later years he has cooled down. But all his ministers were seeing and followed suit. Only now lungu is trying to dupe people about fighting corruption with arrests followed by nollies…..

    70% of charges against , lungu Vs the people of Zambia will be based on his first 5 years.
