Socialist Party President Fred M’membe has said that if President Edgar Lungu really wants to prove he is serious about tackling corruption, he must fire all ministers, permanent secretaries, and other public officials involved in corruption and financial malfeasance, and fast track their prosecutions.
In a statement released to the Media, Dr. M’membe said that Cabinet Ministers and all public representatives whose departments are implicated in acts of corruption and wasteful expenditure must be fired.
If President Edgar Lungu really wants to prove he is serious about tackling corruption, he must fire all ministers, permanent secretaries and other public officials involved in corruption and financial malfeasance, and fast track their prosecutions.
Dr. M’membe said that President Lungu must show decisive leadership and genuine commitment to addressing the corruption, maladministration, and incompetence that is stifling the performance of his government by firing ministers who are in breach of their oath of office.
Dr M’membe further said that dismissing Dr. Chitalu Chilufya from his post as Minister of Health was a positive thing, but it was not enough, adding that the president must now turn his attention to other corrupt ministers and other public officials who have betrayed their mandate to serve Zambians.
Dr M’membe accused the president that throughout his presidency he has always, shielded his appointees by turning a blind eye to their infractions, noting that money looted from the government has cost individuals, families, and communities dearly and has affected service delivery in some of Zambia’s poorest areas.
Dr M’embe said that the mass anarchy that has come to characterise President Lungu’s government must end as millions of Zambians’s lives and jobs depend upon it and that there is need for expeditious criminal prosecution of all the culprits
Dr M’membe concluded by saying that if President Lungu was serious about fighting corruption he must act now by closing the loopholes in the state tender system.
That’s why you will never get a vote. In your mind it makes sense to change the entire cabinet for only 4 months before parliament is dissolved. These are the people who when given power waste money anyhow. Youe want on top of gratuity to be giving retirement packages for ministers who have only served 4 months. Socialism has always been silly anywhere
Kaluba Chibesakunda well said sir
Pay your taxes first before pointing fingers. If I should hear peeeeem. I will just baptise that your big head with some dirty slaps. Enough is enough mmembe. You are talking too much
Actually ECL needs to fire himself.
He is part and parcel of the corruption being perpetrated by the ministers and secretaries he appointed.
No way they are corrupt without him knowing
It’s a good call but he simply can’t because these mobs control him on their remote control.
Would anyone be left after so much firing? The last one please turn off the lights.
Ba Edgar tabakwata sana amano, he should have appointed a woman as minister of health. He should have appointed Olipa Phiri, or one the embattled females in the name of Jean Kapata or Nkandu Luo. Are there no Indians who can help these PF?
This is sad, can’t think of any human in PF who save people from COVID……
Lungu only acted to save his butt , after those extrajudicial executions , people are in no mood for him and pf.
If he had not been seen to act, his fate would have been sealed ……
However , the sacking only buys lungu limited time…..
He still needs to find , between now and july , about £500 million to bribe Zambians to vote for him…
How can the president change the entire cabinet in 4months Guys get serious
Wait one Mr Mmembe
Thats why we are saying LT have reserved quotas of publicity for Fred. Every day he is a headline. Even when he is saying nothing
Yap yap yap!
I think nothing you say this time makes sense.
Remember all those times you were enjoying Tax paying with a stroke of a pen; masquerading as a journalist.
How devious!
ECL started by firing you, I am not surprised at all at all.
Kupusa bati! Sha!
@Fake Kaizer Zulu, how old are you? Can someone please help his parents set the parental controls. This child is online talking jibberish again. Your childish friend Trump has been blocked from all sites. Take a leaf from him. I promise to buy you candy and take you to the park if you behave yourself.
Mmembe is just pulling a publicity stunt. He knows there’s no ways Lungu can Immediately Fire all Corrupt Ministers and Permanent Secretaries but issuing such statements keeps him in the news
Pathetic F000ls carders busy saying pay your taxes, practice what you preach you thieving bunch of l0sers, where are the VAT refunds u owe every body, oh stolen… id1ots
The k0swe should just fire himself, the boy is a weak leader and he is just plain dull… Priceless
in all honesty… it does not make sense to change cabinet a few months before its dissolved
the problem with the UPND is talking without thinking. so long as its against PF
this is so dumb… how do you change cabinet months before its dissolved
no wonder HH cant find a running mate
you dull sir
i now understand why HH cant work with people and does not have a running mate
Thats the entire cabinet and top brass civil servsnts
Not surprised that Gayzar Zulu and his gay friends support the president: once a corrupt friend, always a corrupt friend!
@Inonge Lubasi, is not the president work without any minister on dissolution of parliament? If he can work for 3 months without a cabinet, why cannot he with fat ugly corrupt ministers? Zambia is better off without fatafat ministers. Cheers Comrade M’membe.
