President Michael Sata’s decision to have his son, probed against corruption allegations, has cheered people from various walks of life.

The Southern African Centre for Peaceful Resolution of Disputes-SACCORD- has described President Sata’s action as unprecedented in the fight against Corruption on the African Continent.

SACCORD Spokesperson Obby Chibuluma says President Sata has demonstrated unwavering commitment to the fight against corruption by surrendering his own son to law enforcement agencies to prove allegations raised by Committee of Citizens Executive Director, Gregory Chifire.

Mr Chibuluma told ZNBC news on Saturday that Mr Chifire should prove his allegations and face the same law if found to be peddling falsehoods against the President’s family.

And Political Activist Dante Sauders says President Sata’s style of leadership and fight against corruption requires the support of all well meaning citizens.

Meanwhile, Mufumbwe MMD Member of Parliament, Stephen Masumba says President Sata’s action should be a serious signal to his relatives and government leaders that may attempt to engage in corrupt activities.

Mr Masumba says Zambia needs the seriousness that President Sata has demonstrated to move the nation forward.

President Sata on Friday asked the law enforcement agencies to summon his son and Mr Chifire over the matter.

Mr Chifire had accused the President’s son of acquiring two motor vehicles worth over One point eight billion Kwacha, way beyond his income.

Former National Milling Managing Director Peter Cottan has filed for a divorce claiming that his wife denies him sex.

Mr. Cottan has requested the Lusaka High court to nullify his marriage with United Nations High Commission for Refuges–UNHCR- human resource manager Lenny Cottan Nee Chona charging that his wife has been unreasonably denying him sex.

Mr. Cottan claims that he has not enjoyed normal and satisfactory sexual life since 2009.

He argues that after noticing that their four year old child has been affecting their sexual life; he decorated a nursery room for the toddler to be sleeping in but the move proved fruitless.

Mr. Cottan says his wife has without any consideration of his sexual feelings given no explanation and that his marriage has suffered irreparable damage.

He further accuses his wife of refusing to take contraceptive pills and that she had been forcing him to use male condoms which he dislikes.

And Mr. Cottan further alleges that his wife does not allow him to exercise parental role of his twenty year old step son Choolwe Chona.

But responding to Mr. Cottan’s claims Lenny Cottan Nee Chona says the use of a condom was a collective agreement as a means of safe sex.

Mrs. Cottan refuted her husband’s claims.

And on the assertions that she forbids Mr. Cottan to exercise parental role to Choolwe, Mrs. Cottan accused her husband of being hostile and unkind towards her son upon realizing that his alleged improper sexual association with a ZICAS student had been exposed.

Mrs. Cottan claims that her husband has since left their matrimonial home and is cohabiting with a Namushi Monde a ZICAS student who is his step son’s schoolmate.

STATE HOUSE has advised Committee of Citizens executive director Mr Gregory Chifire to put down a formal complaint with the law enforcement agencies over the 15 million South African Rand transaction, which he is linking to a spouse of an unidentified senior military officer.

This is according to a press statement released to the media by state house press aide.

This follows Mr Chifire’s challenge that the Zambian Government comes out clean on the 15 million South African Rand, which he alleges was deposited into an FNB Bank account in Johannesburg on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 by a wife of one of the senior military officers he unfortunately has not named.

As a result, State House has implored law enforcement agencies like the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) to invite Mr. Chifire and engage him on these very serious concerns he has raised.

Furthermore, State House has encouraged Mr Chifire to report any suspected unlawful activity linked to the first family to the relevant law enforcement agencies.

This is after Mr Chifire alleged that President Michael Sata’s son Mulenga, has purchased two luxurious automobiles among them, a brand new Jeep, both valued at K1.8 billion within a period of 60 days,

Since ascending to office, the President has frequently affirmed that his administration is determined to fight corruption and that there will be no sacred cows.

Therefore, it is only appropriate and responsible for Mr Chifire as a citizen to promptly inform the law enforcement agencies and provide irrefutable evidence of wrong-doing wherever such illegal conduct is identified or suspected.

According to the statement, State House wishes to underline President Sata’s standpoint: “No one will be shielded from prosecution once it has been evidently established that a crime has been committed in spite of their status in society. Zambians must be equal before the law.”

For that reason, the President has appealed to the law enforcement agencies in particular, the Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) to summon both Mr Chifire and his son Mulenga to assist with investigations.
