Kasebamashila Kaseba, a media consultant and news analyst, has criticized the actions of Nicholas Phiri, the First Permanent Secretary at the Cabinet Office, and Thabo Kawana, the Director of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services. In a statement, Mr Kaseba described their recent inspection and purchase of luxury vehicles at a showroom as “a display of hypocrisy and lack of moral conscience.”
The criticism comes amid reports that President Hakainde Hichilema, the leader of the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND), has rejected the use of the Presidential Jet due to its perceived extravagance and has also declined to reside in the Nkwazi House, a government residence that is over 50 years old. Instead, Hichilema has chosen to reside in his own private residence, which some have referred to as the “Community House,” which is reportedly about seven years old.
Mr Kaseba noted that the actions of Phiri and Kawana seem to be in contrast to the values and beliefs espoused by President Hichilema and the UPND. President Hichilema has previously stated that he would not draw a salary as President and would instead donate the funds to the public, and has also criticized the use of luxurious and fuel-inefficient vehicles by the previous government.
While Mr Phiri and Mr Kawana have defended their actions, stating that their salaries and conditions of service allow them to afford such luxuries, Mr Kaseba called on President Hichilema to hold his subordinates accountable for their actions. Mr Kaseba also raised questions about the cancellation of the Civil Service debt swap arrangement by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services, which was announced by Kawana.
It remains to be seen how the UPND and President Hichilema will respond to these criticisms and whether any action will be taken in regards to the actions of Mr Phiri and Mr Kawana.
POOR MITSUBISHI … I wish you well
Blame their wives, they demand for such.
And their women they are displaying are so ugly. Only cars are making them look more presentable.
Do you think the husband loves that lady receiving the mitsubishi? I doubt. Buying her a car is his way of sending her to an early grave so he can remain enjoying life. Honestly, she doesnt need a car. she needs a skipping rope, a bicycle and other exercise machines.
Don’t insult Zulu’s mistress!!!
A good sheep is that one that hears, understands, follows and implements the master’s word and vision. I agree with Mr kaseba’s view. The two are really a disgrace. And only that ” pa nsaka tapabula chipuba”
What an ugly fat woman. Was she donated by Kaizar Zulu?
This is uncalled for…let’s have respect brother!!
Show us your wife if you think the woman in the picture is ugly. I bet your wife is your right hand. Continue masterbating you mad motherfarking dog Samuel

I wonder why Hakainde is quiet….these are your appointed civil servants get rid of themor send them to your Party H/q. A seasoned civil servant would never dare do this or anyone with common sense!!
You’re in the USA,UK or Canada and you think people are suffering back home….these Government officials are busy buying expensive luxury cars for their wives and building mansions for their girlfriend….and next thing is a bigger begging bowl to the IMF…and begging for more Aid….
And now you can imagine what’s happening in secrecy…looks like there’s massive looting behind closed doors
The change Zambians voted for…. Zimya Neighbour…no wonder these leaders are saying things have improved in Zambia…imagine how much money Situmbeko is looting if Cadres can be chewing big money like this…am told cadre Liswaniso is now one of the richest cadres in Zambia
I work 3 jobs in the USA and all I do is pay bills whilst Kawana and company are forking out big mulla..I will foward these pictures to the IMF director
Dandy Krazy used to mock poor Zambians and now he has passed the button to UPND officials
Actions like that are what would force HH to act………..
I support Grant @12. We work very had in diaspora and sometimes doing 3 jobs to meet ends meet, buy cars and pay bills build houses in Zambia and so forth.All these guys pretending to have money and buying their girlfriends cars are white collar criminals or thieves exposed to the national treasury without shame ba mambala who ithink need to be in jail. They are not even scared to display their stolen wealthy in the media. If it was in western country they would have been scanned and dealt with accordingly and maybe in jail this time.Nga mulomfwako ifyo aba sungu ba isosha pa ndalama ishi mukongala mwayakana na ma girl friend yenu, teti muyeko libili ku ku kongola. If it was hard earned money he cannot opt to show off like this. Impiya shakwiba shilakola. They need to be traced and…
They need to be traced and sorted for every one to see. You are an embarrassment lot you dawn fimofimo. You are also Thieves just like PF.
