Explain your alleged involvement in Asset Striping at ZESCO, UPND challenges Given Lubinda

Share

United Party for National Development (UPND) Secretary-General Batuke Imenda has challenged former Justice Minister Given Lubinda to explain his involvement in the alleged ZESCO Asset stripping.

Former ZESCO Board Chairman Dr. Mbita Chitala has made shocking revelations in his book ‘Corporate Capture,’ that acting PF President and former Justice Minister Given Lubinda while in government, instructed him to approve the sale of 7.9 hectares of ZESCO land for 253,000 US dollars to a Chinese friend of the former Minister.

But Mr. Imenda says this attempt at asset stripping of a major public company by a conflicted person who was also a politically connected individual in the high echelons of power, has shocked Zambians to the bone. Mr. Imenda strongly believes that the PF is a criminal enterprise and these revelations are just the tip of the iceberg of the criminal activities of the former ruling party.

In a statement, the UPND Secretary-General has commended the former ZESCO Board Chairman Dr. Chitala for being courageous and patriotic in revealing this crime.

He has called upon other Zambians that may have any information on the illegal activities of the ruling party, to emulate Dr. Chitala and come forward and tell their story.

  1. Given ‘Zayelo’ Lubinda, I keep wondering what kind of virus infects the brains of politicians that their thinking and coordination with verbal pronouncements has no archives for recall as they execute their duties! The revelation by Mbita borders on patriotism and not him wanting to be seen as an angel, he’s exposed what many others experience at the hands of politicians! And who knows why this should be divulged at this point in time? My guesses include the bitterness that has engulfed Lubinda to be unnecessarily talkative and disparaging of the new administration to the extent of irritating those he rubbed the wrong way! Mbita is not UPND functionally let’s wait for Lubinda’s response to “Abuse of Office.”

  2. Let him provide evidence to prove his innocence instead of explaining. Failure to which he must investigated and sent to court to explain. If does not, the consequences must follow. He was busy talking about gay rights instead of providing concrete answers on his deeds which a fellow PF member has exposed.

  3. Lubindas stealing is historical……..

    We remember him giving his daughter a scholarship to Russia meant for poor students………..

  4. Lubindas thievery is historical……..

    We remember him giving his daughter a scholarship to Russia meant for poor students………..

  5. PF was a criminal enterprise, and unfortunately they will be a lot of dirty deals which will never be uncovered. How does a normal person buy a vehicle called a fire tender at one milion dollars(not one million kwacha) and insure it for 250,000

  8. But that Zesco guy is just as guilty. And the Chinese receiver of it all. Let’s start by deporting him

  9. We remember lubinda corruptly giving his daughter a scholarship to Russia that was meant for a more deserving student………

  10. We remember lubinda corruptly giving his daughter a scholar.ship to Russia that was meant for a more deserving student………

  11. We remember lubinda corruptly giving his daughter a sponsorship to Russia that was meant for a more deserving student………

  12. Lubinda loves the Chinese. This is one guy who went to China and invited the Chinese to come to Zambia because we ‘we have a lot of land’. This is one of the reasons Zambia is now a laughing stock. Everyone believes, rightly or wrongly, that Zambia is a Chinese colony. This is an image that needs cleaning.

  13. If course Zayelo must be proved but the Yellow Lipped Snake too must be investigated for hiring his gun to thugs to go and kill Dean Mung’omba’s wife. So many other f##ckex up things like hiring if cadres happened at ZESCO, why is the Snake not writing about them? No wonder he was an ambassador in Libya for one week before Levy fired his stinking backside.
