Share

File: Former Energy Minister Kenneth Konga

FORMER Energy and Water Development minister, Kenneth Konga who was admitted to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) is recuperating.Mr Konga was early this month rushed to St John’s Medical Hospital in Woodlands after he collapsed during interrogations at the former Taskforce on Corruption offices in Lusaka.

He was later transferred to UTH where he was receiving treatment at the VIP fast track wing. Mr Konga, who was minister during the
previous regime, is MMD Chavuma West Member of Parliament.Mr Konga fell ill and collapsed around 09:40 hours at the former
Taskforce offices during an interview with the Joint Government Investigations Team.

In a telephone interview yesterday, Mr Konga said he was recuperating following his discharge from UTH and was now felling better.Mr Konga however refuted some reports alleging that he has been moving on a wheelchair after he was discharged from UTH following his illness.

“I am now recuperating… and I am at home. It’s not true that I am on a wheel chair,” Mr Konga said

Law enforcement agencies early this year seized Mr Konga’s luxurious Hummer motor vehicle which he said he had acquired using money that MPs got from the National Assembly as car loans.

He was also warned and cautioned over a multi-billion Kwacha Hotel situated near Kamwala, a semi detached flat in Kabulonga and mining
equipment in Makeni in Lusaka.The Hotel is situated off Dedan Kimathi Road near Intercity Bus Terminus in Lusaka.

  1. Certain things are not fit for certain jobs and class of people. For example, a Minister buying a hummer in African speaks alot about his Financial status.

  2. Leave the man alone he doesnt even look healthy, a hammer and that box type poorly designed and suitable for local people hotel situated in a noisy and stinky place is not alot of money.

  3. What’s a hummer for a minister u fools, second hand hummers cost 20 to 30 thousand dollars these days hummer company closed down so they cheap villageness in ur mind at its best,, what can stop him from nuyingvone    .t

  4. “If it quacks like a duck perhaps it is a duck.” MMD made stealing very fashionable and normal. Honarable Konga ought to be fully investigated. for as long as ‘stealing and abuse of public funds remains ‘fashionable’ no maningful development will visit Zambia. Why should someone go to jail for stealing K400,000.00 and chicken. And we have suspected big thieves hammering around. I am so glad those repectable women judges are in drivers seats.

  5. Juxtaposition. If I die SATAN is waiting and if I live on SATA is waiting. Will I survive the gauntlet? I will neither die or get well to eschew both adversaries.

  6. I just hope Honarable Konga did not do the salt eating trick. It’s so hard to trust RB’s ministers.

  7. Excellent issues altogether, you simply gained brand new|a new} reader. What may you suggest in regards to your submit that you simply made some days ago? Any certain?
