The State has entered a nolle prosequi in the case in which former President Frederick Chiluba’s wife, Regina, was charged with nine counts of receiving and obtaining stolen State property.
The Ndola Magistrates Court allowed the State’s application and also awarded costs to the accused.
Principal Resident Magistrate, Chilombo Phiri, also ordered the State to hand back all the property used as exhibits in the case.
Mrs Phiri said in her ruling that the court had no right to question the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on the nolle prosequi entered.
“Having seen the nolle entered on all nine counts, I hereby discharge the accused on all the charges, and since the case proceedings have come to an end, all the exhibits must be reinstalled to the owner,†she said.
Senior Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) prosecutor who is attached to the Task Force on Corruption, Dennis Simwinga, applied that the case be discontinued.
Earlier, Mr Simwinga told the court that the DPP had decided to discontinue the matter.
“My instructions this morning from the DPP are to discontinue the matter by entering a nolle prosequi,†he said.
Later, Mr Simwinga opposed the release of property to Mrs Chiluba.
He said the court should not allow that the State hand back the property because Mrs Chiluba had not been acquitted.
Mr Simwinga said the accused could be re-arrested on fresh evidence.
He said the court should also not award costs because the accused was taken to court through normal procedures.
But defence lawyer, Robert Simeza, opposed the application, stating that it was not competent for the DPP to enter a nolle at this late hour after the case had been closed and the court was about to deliver a ruling.
Mr Simeza said the State should have considered discontinuing the case earlier instead of wasting the court’s time.
He said the application by the State was a clear case of abuse of the court process and malicious prosecution, which should not be allowed.
Mr Simeza later applied that since the State had entered a nolle prosequi, the court should award costs to the accused as well as return her property, which was seized and used in court as exhibits.
The exhibits include four vehicles, three buildings, a Toshiba television set and her frozen bank accounts.
He argued that even if the State decided to resume the case, there should be fresh evidence to be used in the proceedings because the court had discharged the matter.
Before the magistrate walked out of the courtroom, Mrs Chiluba’s sympathisers started singing songs of praise as police officers ushered them out.
When an excited Mrs Chiluba walked out of the courtroom, she was welcomed by Patriotic Front (PF) sympathisers who waved their party symbol in solidarity with her.
Police clad in riot gear dispersed the sympathisers from the court premises, but the happy crowd went onto Independence Avenue and continued with their celebrations.
In the same court, MMD Copperbelt chairman, Terence Findlay, gave a fresh plea to in the possession of obscene materials count.
Earlier, Findlay was charged with rape and occasioning actual bodily harm on dates unknown but between May 1 and June 3, 2007.
Mr Findlay pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Particulars of the offence are that in the first count, Findlay allegedly had carnal knowledge of a girl.
In the second count, the accused is charged with being in possession of obscene materials after he was found with a DVD containing pornographic images.
On the third count, it is alleged that Findlay assaulted a named girl, occasioning actual bodily harm.
Deputy Copperbelt prosecutor, Christopher Kanema, applied to substitute the previous indictment with a fresh one to allow fresh pleas to be taken.
The matter has been adjourned to September 24, 2207, for mention and October 17 and 18, 2007 for commencement of trial.
Lawyers Eric Silwamba of Silwamba and Company, Lawrence Matibini of L. Matibini and Company and Mwambo Mutale of York Partners are representing Findlay.
Daily Mail
These lawyers are wasting state our money. Why start work only to enter a nolle prosequi and then tell us that she will be re-arrested. Why didn’t they wait till they had the information in place.
This is being irresponsible with tax payers money. Why draw the case so long? So as to keep lawyers on the payroll? An now Mr Simeza is even rightly asking the courts to transfer Mrs Chiluba’s costs to the state!. This is being irresponsible with state funds!!! Maybe we just abandon this incometant Task Force nonsense that just fattens the lawyers at the Tax payer’s expense. I wish the could disclose how much they make on thses cases. It’s a shame and am disgusted!! ATA SE!! MWAYA SANA BA MAMBALA.
What next?would it be the same with ftj in the coming days?Therefore after analysing this matter,i hope the govnt would not look foolish over the case also against ftj.
Please i would edge the task force to pay back tax payers money if case for ftj is also going no where.Because the money in the hands of task force is too much to be wasted just like that.People are still suffering you know.

Politics is supposed to be a very noble undertaking where only the most honest, the most principled, the most trusted, the most humble and the most competent are allowed to serve.
Politics is not supposed to be a profession for all sorts of crooks, thieves and jackals. We say this because politics deals with the lives of people, the future and destinies of nations. How can such a very important undertaking be left to the scum, to crooks?
For all the years he has spent in politics, old Daniel Munkombwe should know better and be the last person to defend those who fall short of such standards to take up public office. But probably it’s understandable that old Munkombwe’s politics have not been very much about principles, about values – they have been much more based on expedience and sometimes outright opportunism. And it’s very difficult to understand why a political party that wants to part company with poor political standards would make old Munkombwe a provincial chairman. What are things coming to? In the same breath, the MMD is fighting corruption while defending the vice! It requires little intelligence – if a little is all one has – to realise that application of such a policy upon someone who is believed to have flouted the required standards of political leadership throws the whole system of values of a political party in confusion.
Anyway, this is what happens in a nation when values are lost, when ideas are lost.
As we have stated before, virtue must be nourished but vice springs out spontaneously like weeds and grows by itself. We must bear that in mind. If we do otherwise, while nourishing virtue we are simultaneously paving way for vice. That’s a reality we must not lose sight of. For if good ideas foster other good ideas, bad things, on the other hand, can foster other bad things.
This country – and even the MMD – is not short of men and women of integrity to take up political leadership positions. Zambia is not short of people of integrity for us to cling to Katele Kalumba and Michael Mabenga. There are a lot of other things these two gentlemen can do. Politics doesn’t need the likes of Katele and Mabenga; it needs men and women of high integrity. And political leadership shouldn’t be seen as just like any other career which one can take up to fulfil a personal ambition or pleasure.
In politics one should be out to fulfil a duty; it requires a spirit of sacrifice. Politics is about serving our people whole-heartedly and never for a moment divorcing oneself from the masses. It requires one to proceed in all cases from the interests of the people and not from one’s self-interest or from the interests of a small group. In politics, one is always supposed to be a servant of the people and whatever one does should be to serve the people. This being the case, how can we allow people who have shown or demonstrated very high tendencies for selfishness, how can we allow those with sticky fingers to be political leaders and occupy public office? The duty of every politician or indeed anyone holding public office should be to hold himself or herself responsibly to the people. Every word, every act and every policy that they come up with must conform to the people’s interests, and if mistakes occur, they must be corrected – that is what being responsible to the people means.
It is not right for old Munkombwe to defend and justify corruption in the way he is doing. No strong nation, or indeed even a political party, can be built on the shifting sands of evasions and opportunism.
We admit that corruption has taken root in our country, it has almost become a way of life and will be very difficult to uproot. But this does not mean we should resign ourselves to it. This would be to renounce all hope for progress in our country and resign ourselves to misery and backwardness. No matter how enormous the difficulties, no matter how complex the task, there can be no room for pessimism. We can change things for the better, we can build a better and more honest, just, fair and humane nation. Moreover, belief in the possibility of change and renewal is perhaps one of the defining characteristics of politics.
Our country can only progress if there’s discipline, and where there’s no discipline, there can be no real progress. It will be extremely irresponsible of us as a nation to allow people who have abused their offices and public resources to continue to be our political leaders and hold high public offices. There is need for discipline in the nation and in whatever we do. Impunity should not be allowed. Yes, we acknowledge the fact that in a democracy people should feel free to stand for whatever positions they want and the electorate should be the final deciders. This can be said to be so where there’s no corruption because where there’s corruption the electorate is manipulated and does not make free choices. Moreover, democracy is not only about forming political parties and contesting presidential and other elections, but also living in a way that respects and enhances the lives of others.
Corruption is a plague that must be erased from the face of our country because it stands in the way of progress. The important thing is to give happiness to our people and this cannot be done under corruption or where corruption dominates.
If we are proud of our country, we will not allow elements like Katele and Mabenga to run for high political office.
Pride in our country should be a common bond between us all. It should be the essence of our new patriotism, the patriotism of the 21st century. The onus is on us, through hard work, honesty and integrity, to reach for the stars.
As we have already stated, Zambia is not short of men and women of integrity. There’s nothing special about Katele or Mabenga. In fact, if one had an opportunity to come into close contact with history and analyse these matters, one would realise that humans tend to make fools of themselves if they think too much about themselves and their self-importance. It would be wiser to aspire to a modest, simple, even anonymous place in life, because, if one has a true measure of the power of people as individuals, one will realise that it is so fragile and such a small thing that it really doesn’t make sense to magnify the role of any individual, no matter how intelligent, brilliant or able they may be. There have been many able, intelligent, meritorious figures in the course of history. Therefore, we should be unassuming and limit ourselves to doing our duty to the best of our extremely limited possibilities.
If you are honest, truly honest, you won’t be corrupted. If you are unassuming and have a clear understanding of the worth of people and of yourself, you won’t be corrupted.
KUKU… You see why i have been calling these prosecutors inept. You cant start the prosecution without proper evidence. Part of the job or a prosecutor is to asses the evidence and determine if they can get a conviction. How many Nulls are we going to go through at the tax payers expense with these incompetent prosecutors? Look at what is going on with Malila. You could say the whole prosecutorial system starting from the DPP all the way to malila are incompetent.
#5 Do you remember our old arguments on the whole process of shaming and trying FTJ?Its not incompetence its lack of principle on the part of people entrusted with offices to do so all because,they whole thing was predetermined by the so called band wagon of “lawyer wa ma Lawyers and his cohorts”.Emotions cant take you anywhere, even in mamanegement we dont take and make decisions on impulse.The problem in Africa is the fear of saying “Mr Excellence Presido that is off side” if Jesus had the guts to ask his father “Eloi Eloi Lama Sabakhatani” who are we not to question certain motives from a person who woke up at 01.hrs to ascend to power.This man has brought shame to the legal praternity and on great moral standing they should resign and leave the CJ to call for fresh elections.How much money has been thrown down the bottomless pit in try to make selective pursuits? QC Smith mwaice ubepele fye ama ideas walekwata pa Regina wakapa, inshimbi ni nshimbi.Malila wapwa chapwa
In law school, the first thing we are told is “prosecutions borne out of emotions always have bizarre results”. The woman should have been charged with receiving stolen property!
FTJ should have been tried in Zambia and then the judgement registered in foreign countries, not the other way around. That’s why Malila was ambushed by Sangwa who made the application to the High court to disallow the registration as being illegal! All Malila can do is continue asking for adjournments!
#7 KC for how long? You the whole house is anxious because the Presido, the Post and State media joined hands to excite the public and everyone is watching….this will go down in history of African History.
MWAICHE VETERAN(Ngugi)….Where are you?All of a sudden you`ve become MUTE.This is gross incompetence,mismanagement and total abuse of power being displayed by your fellow DEMAGOGUES.Lawyer wama lawyers can`t even get a single conviction.Just bear in mind that these funds you`re SYPHONING in the disguise of ‘fight against corruption’ will need to be accounted for or else you`ll follow your friend BULAYA whom you failed to protect.
task force has been a big disappointment, i hope they make something out of this case. I think all who want justice to prevail want the plunder culprits locked-up or atleast repay…..
PF cadres were singing ‘church’ songs, what a shame!
If Regina wants to play it the church way, why cant she think of confessing. I am sure there are many ‘fathers’ to listen if she prefers priestly confessions
#12 Mwaice FACT bola panshi, who tells you Easy is LusakaTime administrator?Dont interrupt the current debate about the successes of The great Lawyer wama Laywers and his cohorts in the likes of Mumba Malila,this money we have wasted surely it could have gone to pay for Lactogen for all those malnourished/kwashokor children in the 500 shanties Zambia has.Mutembo be ready for a big refund cheque at the end of all these hopeless pursuits.
#9 By the way where all those stupid *****s from LAZ in the likes of Stephen Lungu who rejoiced so much at the Smith vomit?
Chuchu and the boys(lawyers)….after all the hype this all you can deliver? Just a waste of taxpayers money and time!
#12..FACT/VETERAN.Don`t try to change the topic.We`re here to expose bootlicking chaps like you on this blog.I am challenging you to display some morals and objectivity by denouncing such levels of incompetence that the DPP and your fellow DEMAGOGUES have shown.
The whole thing is a stupid way of prosecuting, selective! How do you embrace the Canadian and British’s funding of the task force and Tony Blair’s praise of the Smith verdict while at the same time fugitives from Zambia, Attan Shansonga, is in London and Xavier Chungu is constantly in Montreal, Canada!
Mwanawasa has some intelligency, average, but certainly not lawyer wama lawyer. At the University he was an average student, his professional performance not above average either. His presidency nothing to write home about. To some extent he comes out as unsophisticated to deal with the complex problems of the country. Infact, in the lawyer circles, they know how he managed to win some cases he collaborated with the judges. So to some degree it is kind of cynical that he should be blowing a whistle about zero tolerance on corruption, which by the way is necessary. But certainly mwanawasa is ill qualified to champion the fight. He should legitimise it by empowering the relevant arms of government. Not making the Nchito’s rich! Lawyer wama lawyer- my foot!!!
#18 well done but mention this to this ka chap who wears orange suits with red shoes aka ” Veteran/Pragfimofimo” that ukchenjela kumo kutumpa,We need to see the total cheques the Nchitos have dubiously been paid, six years 3 cases, where on earth?why is law so complex, same clauses, same acts,precedents but opinions are diverse.Filiuko tuleya.Bootlicker Veteran wake up, am on whisky drop by after licking chuchu’s Tekan boots
If Nchito’s fees are insane the fees the government paid to the London lawyers are simply crazy, the GRZ paid over $20 million to four lawyers for a civil suit which could have been tried in Zambia by the DPP!
#20 KC this case was predetermined, the Tony Blair govt paid all the legal fees to DLA Piper in London who were the lawyers representing Zambia in both the Vulture $35m and FTJ $59m, the only cost by Chuchu’s admini is to these Nchito quacks
#21 thanks for the clarification. However, wouldn’t you take the money too if you were Mutembo? After all didn’t he withdraw from the case at one time and LPM went begging him to reconsider? Also, where is the LAZ which regulates and monitors the fees and conduct of lawyers in Zambia?I just have a feeling that if his name was John James there would not be any problem about the money he receives.
On the protracted trials you can not blame him entirely;
1) Cases are investigated by the Task Force and charges approved by the DPP, Nchito is then given the evidence and instructions to present in court.
2) FTJ has constantly avoided the courtroom for over a year.
3) Charges had to be reframed after two high profile accused fled.
4) Sakala was found guilty and lost his appeal in the Supreme court too.
Let’s also look at the big picture.
Hi Blogers, I thought the aim of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is to provide, on behalf of the People of Zambia, a prosecution service that is independent, fair and effective. DPP has been a let down who actually DPP in Zambia?
#22 On moral principle,Mutembo Nchito and Company knew what was obtaining on the ground,yes,if Iwere them I would not accept money which appear dirt with non clear stuff.There was no need to have an independent Prosecutor when Zambia has so many learned lawyers still working in govt,so what was so special?what is the meaning to the serving Legal guys cos even the hired chap must excercise his intelligence to see that certain facts are hopeless but because he had been bought and having shares in the post the whole thing was shrewed.So you mean Mutembo has been used just a courier with no brains.The big picture how many lawyers do we have serving in govt/Police?
#23 Easy Mwaice wabuka?Ifwe tulepanga ama cashflows since ni month end, we need to sell off some forex to pay these chipata *****s before they finish off the rats in Kabushi.But I will be off very soon.KC has brought out very pertinent issues in #22.Veteran where are you?You are waiting for govt tabloids to write so that you can foolishily do your copy and paste on them?ciwamila galu
#24 you ask, “The big picture how many lawyers do we have serving in govt/Police?” very few who are not easily corrupted (read CJ Ngulube).
While not defending Nchito, there was need to buffer the prosecutor from the kind of dollars the accused have. EG. Kabwe asked judge Smith to avail 8000 pounds a month from his seized accounts as living allowance, Smith asked him to detail his monthly expenditure – he couldn’t. Also note that Nchito bought a substantial part of the Post and owns Zambian Airways well before this Zamtrop trial.
Kuku, nice blogger I may say. Do you have an idea how execs from Meridien ended up succesful bankers…
Fuastin Kabwe, Valentine Chitalu, Kaitano Chungu (who was appointed ZANAC MD!) the list goes on. It’s like Enron execs moving on to Exxon!
So the state has now entered a Nolle prosecui in Regina’s nine cases, court awards accused costs plus return of assets – the prosecution can’t make up it’s mind, tries to resist the awards to the accused with out any basis – REALLY WHAT SORTS OF MONKEYS are running the DPP’s & AG’s offices?? They waste our money & time on wild goose chases – all for what?? A vendetta using state coffers??? Do they think as taxpayers we are *****s to continue believing their baseless accusations – they draw large salaries, all for what??
Is their next step to look for a foreign judge to come & adjudicate these & all the other cases that they fail to prosecute in our courts??
STUPIDITY SUCH AS THIS IS WHAT JUSTIFIES THE ENACTMENT OF THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION BILL, we need to know the real reason DPP decided to prosecute in the first place, secondly, why he decided to curtail the prosecution. If it ’s all down to shear incompetence, he will be very open to a CIVIL PROSECUTION instituted by any citizen.
How much have these morons pocketed out of such gross negligence?LPM`s gov of ‘laws and men’ has raped and is plundering the national treasury at will and in broad daylight without anyone stopping them.Is this the reason the TASK FORCE was formed in order to enrich themselves at the expense of the poor and development.When the citizenry need a new constitution LPM quickly says that the gov has no money but surprisingly funds are there to fatten their stingy pockets through fruitless prosecutions and persecutions.Come 2011,LPM`s immunity will be quickly stripped so that he can account for such abuse of public funds.Children are dying in hospitals because there`re no medicines and yet these morons` conscious doesn`t seem to bother them when they`re busy enriching themselves.LAZ should seriously contemplate deregistering these thugs,incompetent,inept and thieves mascarading as prosecutors.These lanatics must pay for abusing tax payers money with such impunity.
And circus goes on and on. LPM has literally done nothing. He is a product of corruption. Who’s redeem our beautiful country from there thieves? They teamed up to loot whatever little that has remained. Your excellence! What deals have you made with RSZ crooks?
Congolese mourn their Rumba king
Thousands of fans have taken to the streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital to mourn Madilu System, known as “Congo’s King of Rumba”.
Police controlled the crowds as they accompanied the singer’s coffin from Kinshasa’s main stadium, where it had lain for three days, to the cemetery.
Madilu played with the famous TP OK Jazz band led by the late Franco Luambo Makiadi in the 1980s.
Congolese music is world renowned and has an important place in life there.
Since his death at the age of 57, the country’s radio stations have been playing Madilu’s music for hours on end in tribute to him.
‘Congo’s greatest composer’
The BBC’s Arnaud Zajtman in Kinshasa says many thousands turned out to pay their respects at the stadium in one of the country’s best attended funerals in many years.
“Since you are gone, we do not live, we do not eat,” sang some leading Congolese musicians as they surrounded Madilu’s coffin.
He says the old, young, star musicians and minsters all attended.
“I’ve been attending Madilu’s funeral for two days while the body was exposed. I don’t know when there will be another Madilu,” one woman said as the coffin was moved from the stadium to its last resting place.
The rich and famous were allowed into the cemetery; the fans were kept at a distance from where they tried to get a glimpse of the ceremony, our correspondent says.
Madilu, born Jean De Dieu Bilau, died in a Kinshasa hospital on 11 August; he had suffered from diabetes.
Ba Jose #31, You are mad.Why do you want to divert us from a very sensitive issue? Hopeless chap. Contribute towards this case at hand and not copy and paste which you are specialised in.
Ya’all Diasporans wake up its time to get back to our usual dreams without an end. Bukeni ba MMD naba yakana ichao nefyuma.Chapi, Kuku, Sage where at thou get natutwalilepo ukusabaila before Kamudala Ka Veteran takalasesha imifuko yandala for the 2011 elections.
Its all about this foolish thing called “LAW”.With money at hand, you will never lose a case.
This has been a worthwhile Golden opportunity when all cheaply deluded cadres have failed to conceal their confusion and immoral allegiances. Their stunning inabilities to understand the legal systems, dynamics of the law and democracy with practical separate institutional powers have been confirmed.
What a legion of blind cadres shamelessly slouching towards pure Utopia they are! As the saying goes that “Those who burn books once will burn their morals even over straight forward mattersâ€. Likewise, “those who belabor to smear the national moral battle against plunder calling it vindictiveness and unnecessary are a legion of amoral, corrupt and treacherous characters unfit for space on the national leadership scorecard.
Fellow patriots, we are confronted with a cruel and amoral irony of deluded sycophants motivated by misplaced economic expectations out of political trolling. I will not intrude them until they finish ranting.
Go for it baiche bandi Kuku, Saga, and Chapi with your rap dog Easy! I will certainly get some time to pump wisdom in your failing heads.
LEVY IS RIGHT
I wish to comment on the statement by President Mwanawasa that it’s wrong for people to bear children they cannot afford to support.
Although as usual the sentiment came from the wrong person – the father of the nation, it actually makes a lot of sense.
I say this because of certain beliefs and practices by some sections of society concerning bearing children. I believe the President said this in good faith and was not trying to place the responsibility to bring up children solely on the family. I believe that the President was refering not only to school fees but children’s welfare in general.
The reality on the ground in Zambia today is that many people plan their families unwisely around their desire for sex.
Why should a man on the streets without enough money to feed even himself, produce children he is not able to adequately provide for? Although the government has a hand in bringing up the children of the nation, it’s not up to the government to plan families. Parents must work tirelessly to ensure that the welfare of their children is maximised.
We cannot deny the fact that there is need to plan our families. This is why so much is said about child spacing or family planning. The reason is that we want families to have the number of children they can afford to look after, and this includes sending children to school.
However, the sentiment would have been better received had it come from a social scientist, say, a demographer or an economist
OPPOSITION LEADERS SHOULD BE ASHAMED -MWANAWASA
PRESIDENT Mwanawasa yesterday said opposition leaders should be ashamed that their members of parliament supported his government on the Constitution Conference Bill.
Speaking soon after his arrival at Chipata Airport, ahead of the Kalumba traditional ceremony of the Chewa people of Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia’s Eastern Province, President Mwanawasa said he was certain that he had provided 100 per cent good leadership over the constitution-making process.
“I am 100 per cent certain that I have provided good leadership over the constitution review process.
Now my colleagues would like to demonise me even though they destroyed the constitution and made it difficult to amend…even though they are responsible of the problems we are facing to amend the constitution… they are now trying to play as champions of democracy and accusing me of being wrong.
They are describing me and my ministers as people who should be voted out. Now people of Zambia voted for me twice now. So nilekeni nisebenze nchito, so leave me to work,” President Mwanawasa said.
“All Honourable members of parliament yesterday passed the initial constitutional Bill. There was a lot of debate. Both members of parliament from the opposition and MMD were speaking in favour of government.
Their political party presidents must be ashamed of themselves at the fact that their MPs don’t obey their directives.”
He commended the members of parliament for performing their national duty.
President Mwanawasa said the country had only time left for development.
“It is not time for fantasy and it is not for people to display how ignorant they are. It is time for constructive ideas which can make a difference for our country. My government has shown that it is worth it to support the government of the day,” he said.
President Mwanawasa said his presidency had been flawed with malicious allegations, a lot of lies and name calling.
He thanked the people of Eastern Province for turning out in large numbers to vote for him and MMD.
“So I am kept wondering what is it that can I do that I am not doing. So when you people in Eastern turn out in large numbers to vote for Levy Mwanawasa and MMD, it made a difference,” he said.
He said the people of Eastern Province were better placed to tell the nation what he had done and what they had experienced under his presidency.
“I regret that most of our compatriots take things for granted. They always think that Levy Mwanawasa will always be there. I would not be there. I only have four years to go.
I appeal to all the people of Zambia to take advantage of the four years, so that we can work together and deliver,” he said.
President Mwanawasa disclosed that he would take time, while in Chipata, to inspect the Chipata Muchinji rail project.
“We want to see the Chipata Muchinji rail project to be completed before the end of the year or mid next year,” he said.
He said the government was constructing a new campus, Chipata Trades Training Institute along Malawi road and that the contractor was already on site.
President Mwanawasa said it was important for the country to provide tertiary education for its children after secondary school.
He disclosed that on Thursday, he met a chairman of a bank who said that his bank was ready to offer K200 billion loan to the Food Reserve Agency for maize purchase.
Earlier, President Mwanawasa, who was accompanied by foreign affairs minister Kabinga Pande, local government minister Sylvia Masebo and science and technology minister Peter Daka, introduced his newly appointed foreign affairs deputy minister Professor Fashion Phiri.
#36 &37 VETERAN….Why are you so desperate to drift from the topic at hand?Shame on you for lacking morals and objectivity.I once again challenge you to denounce such incompetence and abuse of public funds by the GOV you`re always quick to praise.Why are you so MUTE if you`ve got principles as you always claim.
Mwaice Chapi(38)
I repost (35) incase you mised it.Understand last paragraph three times. You know that i’m no match to your immorality.

Go for it baiche bandi Kuku, Saga, and Chapi with your rap dog Easy! I will certainly get some time to pump wisdom in your failing heads.
I can’t believe some people’s attempts to divert from the topic at hand, the GRZ’s handling of these cases which just form of workfare for LPM’s cronies.
How do you charge Regina fo stealing TVs and cars from State House when up to now there has been no complaint from State House about missing property! No controlling officer or inventory officer at State House was called to testify about missing property. Only Road traffic officers who came to sy that this or that vehicle was bought by state house. They clearly forgot how they lost Sata’scase because they found him to be holding to a GRZ car only to be surprised when Xavier said he gave him the car for being a ShuShuShu! Case closed!
#39 Mwaiche VETERAN.Has someone bewitched you with bootlicking and demagogy?You`re attacking the messengers of truth but deliberately ignoring the message.In short,are you supporting such incompetence and abuse of public funds or not?Don`t give me the crap about the intricacy of case.
You always reap what you sow.Sisala sows poor planning then he reaps blackouts.Lawyer wama lawyers,Kunda & Malila sow incompetence and abuse of public funds then they`re certainly reaping washouts or as a desperate face saver ‘NOLLE’.What kind of lunacy is this?
Mugabe’s hold on Africans
Despite an economy in turmoil, four-figure inflation and the exodus of millions to neighbouring countries, Zimbabwe’s president can rely on the support of his African peers. Peter Biles spoke to one of them in a bid to discover Robert Mugabe’s secret.
The photographers and cameramen had been waiting patiently outside the Mulungushi conference centre in Lusaka.
Southern African leaders were arriving thick and fast but the man everyone was waiting to see was Mr Mugabe.
He may be a pariah in the capital cities of the European Union but here in the heart of southern Africa he knows he can count on a fair degree of undying loyalty.
When the Mugabe motorcade eventually swept in there was a noticeable tightening of security.
A small pick-up truck bore three heavily armed soldiers in the back, and bodyguards surrounded the black limousine as the 83-year-old president emerged.
He smiled and stepped forward with his wife, Grace, to meet his Zambian hosts.
There was certainly no hint that this was a head of state under intense domestic pressure.
Liberation generation
Zambia is a place that all the southern African leaders know pretty well.
On this occasion, they had come for a routine summit but, for some, Lusaka is like a home from home.
President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa lived here for years when he was an exiled member of the ANC.
Zambia has always offered a hand of friendship to refugees, especially during the days of the liberation struggle in South Africa and what was Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe.
Robert Mugabe spent his time in Mozambique during the bush war but a warm welcome is still assured when he meets his fellow leaders.
He is the longest-serving head of state in the region – bar one – and he clearly relishes his position as one of the elder statesmen.
You have to appreciate the bonds of loyalty that defined the struggle for independence in post-colonial Africa to understand why it is that Robert Mugabe is still treated with so much respect, even when his country is collapsing around him and he is largely to blame.
African tradition dictates that he should not be criticised in public whatever private thoughts his peers might harbour.
Kenneth and Robert
In Lusaka, I ran across Kenneth Kaunda – independent Zambia’s first president. We first met 20 years ago when he occupied State House. Having been the nation’s founding father, he had led the country since 1964.
Not unlike Zimbabwe, Zambia’s post-colonial era was characterised by optimism to begin with, but then came economic mismanagement, social unrest, and the emergence of political opposition.
But Kenneth Kaunda did something unusual. He fought an election in 1991, lost and stepped aside gracefully after 27 years in power.
That is exactly how long Robert Mugabe has been around.
Mr Kaunda was never the greatest leader but he was – and still is – a well-meaning man with real charisma.
As we sat talking the other afternoon, there seemed to be no better person to shed light on Robert Mugabe. Kenneth Kaunda is near enough the same age, just two months younger. They were both born in 1924.
These days, KK – as he has always been known – enjoys his retirement with dignity and seems to command genuine respect.
As we chatted a stream of passers-by – most of them young enough to be his grandchildren – lined up to greet him and shake his hand.
I tried to picture Robert Mugabe in a similar situation but, to my mind, he and Kenneth Kaunda were poles apart – the despot clinging to power and the happily retired politician, once renowned for his national ideology of humanism.
An improved spirit?
So I asked Dr Kaunda if he could help explain Robert Mugabe’s popularity in the region.
It’s no good demonising Robert Mugabe
“I’m glad you noticed it,” he replied.
He was referring to the huge round of applause for President Mugabe during the opening session of the leaders’ summit.
“People see him as a hero,” he said.
“Not just in Zimbabwe or here in Zambia but across the whole of southern Africa.”
And Kenneth Kaunda speaks for many in the region in blaming not Mugabe for Zimbabwe’s troubles but successive British governments.
“It’s no good demonising Robert Mugabe,” he says.
“We should all put our heads together, talk to him, and work with him on a solution.”
But that is not to say that even those closest to the Zimbabwean president want him to seek another term in office in his 84th year. Because by all accounts they do not.
My last glimpse of President Mugabe during his brief visit to Lusaka was on a wind-swept parade ground at the city’s military airport.
He and the other southern African leaders had come to inaugurate a regional brigade – a key component in a new African standby peacekeeping force.
As the presidents stood shoulder to shoulder they released a bunch of green, blue, and white balloons.
It was a symbol of what this region aspires to – an improved spirit of togetherness and closer integration designed to stimulate economic growth and development.
But because of Zimbabwe, southern Africa is facing its most serious crisis in years. And love him or loath him, it is Robert Mugabe who holds centre stage.
I could have prosecuted this case better, major fraud is hard to prove, they should have offered Xavier a deal long time ago if they were really after FTJ. He knows everything and had to carry out his boss’ instructions without question. Instead they tried to offer Attan Shansonga, a mere money courier, a deal. Knowing he had limited knowledge of the syndicate he asked the incompetent chaps for his passport and a first class ticket to go and pick his evidence in the UK and wholla GONE! All they could start doing is convicting the old man Musonda for approving OP overdrafts without the ZANACO board’s knowledge even though all the money was paid back with interest.
#36 Mwaice Veteran wamona what bootlicking can do to one’s capacity? You copy and paste an article from the Post newspapers dated Friday 24th August 2007,written by BERNARD NSHINGWE,AND YOU WANT to appear clever, iyo uli kakopo sana, uleke utuma suit twa orange ne nsapato shall red,just the combination of these colors drives you luny.Your wife should start organising your wardrobe,you know very well that your short stature plus your big tummy cant look nice in those colors but you continue dressing like that, in KK’s era we identified shushushu’s by the fuel tank, cos they used to move on full tanks which were always spilling but Chuchu’s shushushu’s is by their red suits etc, Red suits are for MCF at UCZ we ka muntu we, uletusebenya with your weird dressing.Nalikweba ati iwe nomukalamba obe muwelewele do some PR/Pyschology courses even utuma cert pantu mulifikopo sana
#27 Now back to good blogging, you know KC without a CRB system, nothing will ever work, do you know that even the current MD for Stanbic was once implicated in the meridien saga? Penza and his clonies down played the meridien saga otherwise in real sense those quangalas at the top of Meridien exec should have been in jukes this time.There was serious money laundering there, the liquidator from KPMG by the name of Willie Mwanza was also bought to shield certain data,Willie Mwanza is the same guy who duped NCZ or was it collusion with Chulu Kalima and stole billions through posing like he could procure Fertilizer from RSA upto now we dont know whether the case is alive or dead, they had to involve interpol to bring himback,Its alot painful to see how zambian resources get abused and people go scot free when people else where dont have clean water,clean sanitation and habitable accommodation.
#46 Kuku, it’s totally unacceptable. Where is accountabilty shuwa! Even Sisala gets to keep his job despite gaffe after gaffe including the icing on the cake when he blamed a lizard for the SADC blackout! Is he part of the family tree or is he LPM’s Xavier Chungu?

Politics is supposed to be a very noble undertaking where only the most honest, the most principled, the most trusted, the most humble and the most competent are allowed to serve.
Politics is not supposed to be a profession for all sorts of crooks, thieves and jackals. We say this because politics deals with the lives of people, the future and destinies of nations. How can such a very important undertaking be left to the scum, to crooks?
For all the years he has spent in politics, old Daniel Munkombwe should know better and be the last person to defend those who fall short of such standards to take up public office. But probably it’s understandable that old Munkombwe’s politics have not been very much about principles, about values – they have been much more based on expedience and sometimes outright opportunism. And it’s very difficult to understand why a political party that wants to part company with poor political standards would make old Munkombwe a provincial chairman. What are things coming to? In the same breath, the MMD is fighting corruption while defending the vice! It requires little intelligence – if a little is all one has – to realise that application of such a policy upon someone who is believed to have flouted the required standards of political leadership throws the whole system of values of a political party in confusion.
Anyway, this is what happens in a nation when values are lost, when ideas are lost.
As we have stated before, virtue must be nourished but vice springs out spontaneously like weeds and grows by itself. We must bear that in mind. If we do otherwise, while nourishing virtue we are simultaneously paving way for vice. That’s a reality we must not lose sight of. For if good ideas foster other good ideas, bad things, on the other hand, can foster other bad things.
This country – and even the MMD – is not short of men and women of integrity to take up political leadership positions. Zambia is not short of people of integrity for us to cling to Katele Kalumba and Michael Mabenga. There are a lot of other things these two gentlemen can do. Politics doesn’t need the likes of Katele and Mabenga; it needs men and women of high integrity. And political leadership shouldn’t be seen as just like any other career which one can take up to fulfil a personal ambition or pleasure.
In politics one should be out to fulfil a duty; it requires a spirit of sacrifice. Politics is about serving our people whole-heartedly and never for a moment divorcing oneself from the masses. It requires one to proceed in all cases from the interests of the people and not from one’s self-interest or from the interests of a small group. In politics, one is always supposed to be a servant of the people and whatever one does should be to serve the people. This being the case, how can we allow people who have shown or demonstrated very high tendencies for selfishness, how can we allow those with sticky fingers to be political leaders and occupy public office? The duty of every politician or indeed anyone holding public office should be to hold himself or herself responsibly to the people. Every word, every act and every policy that they come up with must conform to the people’s interests, and if mistakes occur, they must be corrected – that is what being responsible to the people means.
It is not right for old Munkombwe to defend and justify corruption in the way he is doing. No strong nation, or indeed even a political party, can be built on the shifting sands of evasions and opportunism.
We admit that corruption has taken root in our country, it has almost become a way of life and will be very difficult to uproot. But this does not mean we should resign ourselves to it. This would be to renounce all hope for progress in our country and resign ourselves to misery and backwardness. No matter how enormous the difficulties, no matter how complex the task, there can be no room for pessimism. We can change things for the better, we can build a better and more honest, just, fair and humane nation. Moreover, belief in the possibility of change and renewal is perhaps one of the defining characteristics of politics.
Our country can only progress if there’s discipline, and where there’s no discipline, there can be no real progress. It will be extremely irresponsible of us as a nation to allow people who have abused their offices and public resources to continue to be our political leaders and hold high public offices. There is need for discipline in the nation and in whatever we do. Impunity should not be allowed. Yes, we acknowledge the fact that in a democracy people should feel free to stand for whatever positions they want and the electorate should be the final deciders. This can be said to be so where there’s no corruption because where there’s corruption the electorate is manipulated and does not make free choices. Moreover, democracy is not only about forming political parties and contesting presidential and other elections, but also living in a way that respects and enhances the lives of others.
Corruption is a plague that must be erased from the face of our country because it stands in the way of progress. The important thing is to give happiness to our people and this cannot be done under corruption or where corruption dominates.
If we are proud of our country, we will not allow elements like Katele and Mabenga to run for high political office.
Pride in our country should be a common bond between us all. It should be the essence of our new patriotism, the patriotism of the 21st century. The onus is on us, through hard work, honesty and integrity, to reach for the stars.
As we have already stated, Zambia is not short of men and women of integrity. There’s nothing special about Katele or Mabenga. In fact, if one had an opportunity to come into close contact with history and analyse these matters, one would realise that humans tend to make fools of themselves if they think too much about themselves and their self-importance. It would be wiser to aspire to a modest, simple, even anonymous place in life, because, if one has a true measure of the power of people as individuals, one will realise that it is so fragile and such a small thing that it really doesn’t make sense to magnify the role of any individual, no matter how intelligent, brilliant or able they may be. There have been many able, intelligent, meritorious figures in the course of history. Therefore, we should be unassuming and limit ourselves to doing our duty to the best of our extremely limited possibilities.
If you are honest, truly honest, you won’t be corrupted. If you are unassuming and have a clear understanding of the worth of people and of yourself, you won’t be corrupted.

Ulikakoposana. You don’t even understand what you write. Who is using unpalatable between you the lone slay dog and me? Aren’t you the one biting your tongue with unpalatables against Levy comfortably in plot one and his Veteran family? You are just luck that Ci Veteran has written you off as being an insane ***** not worth expending time on. Likely he has exercised empathy having realized that you boiling for the fact that you don’t have a future under the MMD mafias set for a long haul in power. Ulimbwa sana iwe.
Kuku & your friend AM,
You are *****s deserving summarily execution by targeting. You bring your gutter mental diseases on this blog meant for serious debates without respect of the membership. It’s like you have no conscious to realize the damage you are making to the blog standards. You are *****s. Find some porno platform where your character and level of debates fits. No wonder the MMD are so sarcastic that you are hopeless fools without destiny they don’t care about. Smart people exercise respect and engage on issues not your tirades.
I warn you to get out of here or reform into human beings with brains.
the task force is just wasting taxpayers money. no one will ever be convicted and sent to jail. let them just turn these cases to the chines or the russians.
First mud slugging and a subsequent nolle. Either the fight was and is a show, grossly deficient or poorly executed or it risks bringing what we have foreseen to the LPM team’s post presidency: an account of staining Zambia’s independent judiciary. For these cases of abuse of office to be poorly handled with a tested lawyer at the helm of leadership and surrounded by other seasoned lawyers that he could have freely consulted (e.g. Prof. Patrick Mvunga), this shame could have been avoided. The cost of these cases far outweigh the benefits, so it appears although I could credit the president for instilling fear in public workers to be accountable. We will wait to see how our independent courts will handle the imposed ruling over FTJ by Judge Smith and the British Empire.
Sorry, sentence above should have read: “an account for staining Zambia’s independent judiciary.”

#60Ba Joze.Good job for exposing that spineless moron who lacks any moral fiber to advocate his personal opinion and finally knows that his bootlicking days are numbered.We`ll continue putting pressure on him so that he might snap of such ignorance and lunacy of being a DEMAGOGUE.In physics they would refer to him as a SCALAR quantity(magnitude without direction) but I`ll work on this bootlicker to turn him into a VECTOR(manitude + direction).
#63 Please forgive them these chaps are on Job Seekers allowances(JSA),Iam sure now they know that stupidity doesnot pay.Indeed they are Scalars ,we shall make sure they become Vectors, you have made my night hahahahahaha.
I don’t come too hard as Veteran and company do but let me say
Beyond doubt education is a key to decency. This blog is indeed flooded with street kids void of skills, character, strategy, vision and capacity. They are a hired harem of thugs pregnant with distorted information. Their acts and addiction to the helpless internet blogs is full of baseless ritual attacks and useless accusations on national leaders and the vibrant and unwavering crusaders of a better and progressive nation free of thuggery.
Fellow noble patriots and seasoned victors in real and imaginary battles over many years on behalf of Zambians, look at what ignorance and handicaps can do to our street kids. Surely as much as Patriots’ hands are active and eyes share the daily traffic of this lunacy on the blog, can you see any 444111_0099BCT XZA on the log? Can you see the desperation of stranded jats vainly belaboring to bring me into their hopeless subnormal and inert invectives in spite of my occasional blogging habits?
We have hopeless kids here glued to a blog visited by the same loggers. They are busy thinking I will unwisely spend my time where there is neither strategic nor intrinsic value for the Zambian people.
Do we really need to help them break the cyber laws and post specific traffic details of all patrons to the blog so that they could understand the existing leverage or imbalances and price tags of lunacy? Do they need to see the strength of the unparallel fraternity and the capabilities out of education and skills?
We believe in practical democracy and choice of people useless dreams or others but unkind to immorality that thinks it could get away with impunity. These are fantasized Bin Ladens of Zambia at the behest of their fanatical masters that patriotism will never miss.
Kuku, Chapi, Saga and Joze are the “Zambian Bin Ladensâ€
Look at how low you have sunk. You are saying I’m a job seeker? Employers and noble patriots must be laughing all the way to their banks. Seeking a job from whom and what job that I have not had at my age? Listen you kids, do some research I don’t need struggling for any job to come my way. I don’t even need a security clearance for any outlaw past as your cases are.
A mere phone call would get me a job I feel I can do. But fortunately my plate is full until 2008 when I will get back to serving Zambians at my old age again. After the teaching career and other challenging jobs, I have had a prestigious job maintained over generations a fact time will never write off.
You are wasting your time among yourselves here. Zambians never listen to the “jats†or feeble sowers of unfounded hatred on leadership that you have proved to be doing.
Zambians do not listen to the outlaws, not the heretics, not even the betrayers who think they could bring a wave of mischief to our cherished democratic model Zambia you have so empirically proved. Zambian will never allow misfits to undermine democracy and their freedom of choice or their civilization. Zambians have no space for those renouncing personal scruples in favor of hateful institutional agendas of naturally defeated circus parties.
Easy…Don`t worry about entering a cyber war with VETERAN/PRAGMATIST.If you want to keep him MUTE,just ask him to denounce the incompetence and abuse of public funds by his fellow MMD thugs.I can rest assure you that since he lacks principles,he`ll never do that for fear of being cut off from his JSA(Job Seekers Allowance).
#67 Chapi, Iam not scared of this lost sheep in Excodus. He need revelation and help. Please help to take this lost soul to Arch Milongo. He is possesed and needs deliverance. How can he say he just needs to make a phone call to get a job is has none at the moment. Pragfimofimo as commonly know you have qualified to be an educated fool. Look nowaday youths have give you a new name JSA + Ngugi. Educationist dont show off. Kuku as I said I will be busy until monthend and when I come back I will finish of Veteran because has become a nonsence. I have already informed my fellow cyber troopers and monitoring will be intensived of this imposernator. He intendly want to kill this blog hence the to expose him and get rid of him.
Easy,
You are a fool easily manipulated by your fellow hopeless fools. You are a deluded member of the harem of rabid outlaws motivated by your political prostitution devoid of principles, skills and capabilities as Mr. Pragmatist in # 65 &66 put it.
Who fooled you that you have the capacity to finish pro Democracy Zambians? Who told you that it is a sin to challenge the prevalent extremism, distortions and insults you peddle here against the Democratic Zambian people’s ruling party, Government and the Republican President? Who told you that you will find skilled Zambians folding their hands whenever you start ranting your unprintable on them? Who told you that your worthless warnings here of finishing up people would be condoned with kids’ groves? Just the other day you were insulting a Masa Lamusi Yandala which your selective amnesia has already forgotten.
Unethically as a stupid and ignorant blog administrator you have long been framing and insulting me around the clock at no provocation from my end. All in vain hope that you could have me curved on my unflinching patriotism and critical anti thuggerly politics of extremists you unethically signed up for? I dare you fool yourself beyond your worthless warning rhetoric to democratic crusaders. Your pigheaded extremist causes will take the heat of the free and civilized world unwilling to badge to fanaticism. Make an attempt on any of the free minded democracy advocates you hate, see the choking in your cell group.
Civilization will never condone extremist causes but competitive democracy using ideas and clean campaigning strategies among the protected people. If you think you are the only one that has the eyes on the blog to abuse the traffic, then you are a handicapped fool.
Some money in Zamtrop account from third parties – witness

Thursday August 16, 2007 Print Article Email Article
BANK of Zambia senior inspector Maulu Hamunjele yesterday testified that some of the money deposited in the Zamtrop Account was mixed with other money, which came from third party sources.
And acting deputy registrar of the High Court Jones Chinyama ordered that a cell phone be grabbed from a journalist from Al Jazeera who was using it to film the court proceedings.
During cross-examination by defence lawyer Robert Simeza in a case where former president Frederick Chiluba, Access Financial Services directors Faustin Kabwe and Aaron Chungu are charged with theft of about US$500,000, Hamunjele explained that there was previously some money in the Zamtrop account from third party sources, which was mixed up with the rest of the money.

You are another demagogue of a Ghost having resurrected from the dead last year after PF was defeated. You are an immoral harem of political prostitution having taken multiple cadreing membership in series within 5 years from UNIP, UPND,UDA and during the late night extra in PF way into the 2006 defeat.So you see, we know your pervasive record better than you want to fool yourself.

In the Medical field,if a registered professional practises gross negligence and abuse of office the consequence is being DEREGISTERED and banned for life from practising medicine.Are there any such consequences in the LAW profession just like we`re witnessing gross negligence,incompetence and abuse of public funds by these THUGS mascarading as prosecutors and lawyers?
#71 & #72 VETERAN.Since you claiming to be patriotic and a principled Zambian,Kindly do the right thing by denoucing such gross incompetence and abuse of public funds by these thugs you blindly support.
#71 &72 can you justify your honourableness in #36? Copy and paste someone’s story by the name of Bernard Nshingwe? Do you know that it is a criminal case to plagiarise someone’s material without permission?
Veteran and Pragfimofimo even a blind man can tell that you are the same fellow,you command and design of the queen’s language speaks volume, why dont you do the honourable thing by being sober and contribute positively despite your political inclinations?Our interest is to help Zambia in the future do the right thing i.e Serve the zambian people , let everyone share the cake whether its old,young,vulnerable,differently abled etc.Stop these name calling stuff,insults etc Grow up gentlemen you are a shame to say the least.
Rupiah defends his marriage
By Chris Mul al iki in Zambezi and Mw al a K al al uka in Lusaka

Print Article Email Article
VICE-President Rupiah Banda has said public perception that his wife is of the same age as his granddaughter would not stop him from appreciating her youthfulness and beauty.
And Lusaka Province Likumbi Lya Mize Committee chairman Marx Mbunji said the people of Zambezi and tourists at this year’s ceremony noted that Vice-President Banda was very proud of his 28-year-old wife, Thandiwe.
Speaking on arriv al at Zambezi Airstrip where he has gone to officiate at this year’s Likumbi Lya Mize ceremony of the Luv al e people, Vice-President Banda, 70, said he was happy that he married such a beautiful and understanding young lady, who is a teacher by profession.
“I am happy that at this age I can have such a beautiful wife, wangu, wangu,†he said. “When people see my wife they think it is my granddaughter but I am happy that at this age I can have such a beautiful and young wife.â€
At this point, Vice-President Banda c al led his wife to the podium in order to introduce her to the crowd.
“Many of you might be wondering who my wife is among these ladies standing behind me. So let me introduce my wife,†Vice-President Banda said, as he gestured his wife to step forward.
He explained that he decided to go to Zambezi with his wife after she saw how beautiful the other tradition al ceremony, Lunda Lubanza of the Lunda people in Zambezi where he officiated a few weeks ago, was.
Vice-President Banda is al so expected to tour development al projects in Chavuma and Zambezi before officiating at this year’s Likumbi Lya Mize ceremony today.
And Mbunji said in an interview from Zambezi that people welcomed Vice-President Banda’s sentiments about his young wife with a thunderous response.
“The Vice-President has arrived here and we have received him,†Mbunji said. “He has come with his wife and it is clear that he is proud of his young wife and he introduced his wife to the people. The people welcomed that thunderously.â€
Mbunji said this year’s ceremony would surpass last year’s.
“Preparations have been fantastic and this year’s ceremony will be much better than last year’s,†he said. “Participation has been broad and there is a lot of participation from North-Western Province and other provinces.â€
He said activities prepared for this year’s ceremony were al ready in progress and so far makishi dancers from North-Western Province had kicked-off the entertainment aspect.
“Security is in place and there is no cause for any al arm,†Mbunji assured. “At this year’s ceremony it is basic al ly the Lundas and Luv al es enjoying themselves. There is no problem.â€

Chapi you ask “In the Medical field,if a registered professional practises gross negligence and abuse of office the consequence is being DEREGISTERED and banned for life from practising medicine.Are there any such consequences in the LAW profession just like we`re witnessing gross negligence,incompetence and abuse of public funds by these THUGS mascarading as prosecutors and lawyers?”
Unfortunately the answer is NO, the constitution provides for a prosecutor to enter a nolle without an explanation just like an accused does not have to take the stand. LAZ is fully aware of this. What I think here is Malila and Max Nkole have noticed the damage done by the predecessors, Kunda and Chona, and are not comfortable with some of the cases.
i.e.
1) Regina was charged with theft of GRZ fund and resources when there is no evidence of that, neither was she custodian of GRZ property or funds. My thinking is that Nkole wants to properly charge her with receiving stolen property but couldn’t
rearrest her because a prima facie case against the alleged thief, FTJ, should be established first. That’s when the property in question becomes “stolen”.
2) Malila is trying to find a constitutional way to register the London court judgement which are in fact illegal unless approved by Presidential act before the fact not retroactively. The case should have been tried in Zambia and apllied to be registered in the UK, Belgium etc…
Both of these amount to putting the cart before the horse!
# 66 Pragmatist
Tracking with serial number 444111_0099BCT XZA still matches with those of Veteran # 71&72. So what do you say iwe ka Pragmatist? I think you will never know what it takes for some to trace out culprits who have been impersonating diligent and devoted bloggers and you don’t ba Joze. Instead of you instigate on blog impostors, you did some gratuitous somersaults and started seeing nothing but Bin Ladens while the head was gyrating upside down. Pipo with wisdom of which you are lucking don’t take sides when passing judgement and that justifies that you are “off side†and become unnecessary who can not fit in any Zedian society. Ba Pragfimofimo ala citeni retire to pave way to the new vibrant generation who have no jobs so that they can transform Zed for the better. Pragfimofimo ala working beyond retirement age can cause heart attack plus memory lapses. Now make a comment on #76 NOW! If not then you have done same.
#78 & #79 KC.You`ve explained in detail how incompetent the prosecution team has been.Does it mean that this is the only profession that gives a pat on the back for gross incompetence and abuse of public funds?This should be a lucrative venture where there`re no consequences to every blunder one makes.When do the tax payers say enough is enough and time to demand accountability from people who are suppoesed to be custodians of our meager resources.Do we even have an idea of how much these thugs are syphoning public funds through allowances and salaries they draw at the expense of poor tax payers?
#81 At what point did the Judiciary start declining in standards? CJ Ngulube or When Annel Silungwe was in charge? At one point Sokoni wanted to publish a certain letter, and this brought hell on the so called political figures,hasnt this got a direct consequence on her office,The Kashiwa bulaya nolle,the rule of law seems to have misplaced interests and its impetus upon LAZ to fully participate in the correct leverage of the damaged perception of our Judicial system.Mweemba was one such impartial and rational person LAZ has ever had.
#78 &79 There was an outcry about a civil case preceding a criminal case and Lawyer wama Lawyer and his cohorts said the order doesnot matter, so why are our Laws being manipulated? Even People like Sakwiba had guts to support this assertion? There is need to apply brakes and start afresh,I wonder what CJ Sakala is thinking of.He has never made any statement to that effect,which is the way forward?
U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL GONZALES RESIGNS CAN OUR AG do the same? If he fails to perform his tasks what is the best thing to do ?
#82.I think the moral decay reached unacceptable levels during CJ M Ngulube`s tenure who allowed to oiled more than $160,000s.Sokoni`s letter is evidence enough that LPM and his DEMAGOGUES have alot of dirt they hiding under the carpet.There`s absolute loss of public confidence in our judicial system which has been perpetrated by LPM,Malila,Kunda and the rest of the demagogues who are bent on destroying our system with impunity.LAZ should sharpen it`s teeth and put a stop to such abuse of public funds and incompetence by disciplining it`s members.
Chapi/Kuku; There is a way we can stop these guys from abusing the resources and process’. The AG, DPP and Task Force Chairman serve at the pleasure of Plot one, the buck stops with Levy. He doesn’t need a consensus to remove them for shoddy work. His only boss is us, as long as MMD win all the by-elections and Presidential elections they will not change. Regardless of is majority vote he got the mandate and the opposition is bad as a kindergarten party gone awry! They couldn’t even vote against a bad terrosism bill but decide to abscond! There is a reason LPM doesn’t want us guys who are abroad to hold dual nationalities or vote at the embassy; we are enlightened, are not job-seekers and not easily corrupted!
Yes, I have been abroad for almost 20 years without shame because I put food on the tables of ten and tens of relatives back home.
Mwaiche wandi Kuku(77),
I’m not a mouth piece of citizens in their private capacities least I lose my national vision. Patriotism does not usurp the right of people to privacy. Had that been the case, I could have been here politicking with demeaning rhetoric on your fellow bigoted extremist Chapi whom I know of being in cohabitation with a 72 years old Caucasian widow from the neighboring county.
The rabid PF deviant has been looked up in that dilemma with his Grand mother over seven years now. Infact much of his misery driving him into senseless convulsions, and extremism is the pain of the wasted years under reflection.
Had citizens’ marriage been of national role, I could have shown interest in them. If you are so pressed to knowing more why not approach Mama Betty Kaunda his elder sister to find out why her young brother RP has made that decision? To make easy you ask Dr. Waza Kaunda his nephew visiting your state by mid September. Dr. waza is a very approachable man of the people and will be in town for 10 straight working days.
Personally I come from a family where marriage is highly treasured. Divorce for whatever reason has no space. My parents our life time models as they lived in a holy matrimony till they bid their farewell to this world peacefully. That has left us a moral standard to observe from Generation to Generations. We invest a lot in marriage from Dating, courtship, actual marriage with mandatory weddings to practical nurturing of blessed children. The word divorce or remarriage are not applicable in my family so you are asking a wrong person.
But you should understand that people remarry for many personal reasons which I may not be in the light of understanding as is with the case of Bashi Andrew. In Kenya Kibaki has a second wife while Mugabe has the new Mai Grace after the death of his first wife. In SA Madiba dumped Winnie for Mrs Samora while Moi in Kenya lived a Bachelors’ life yet he had Mamangini mother to his sons Jonathan and brother living independently with Kazamila as his concubine in reserve. For Chapi, it is the amoral economic survival motives though not worked out.
Everyone retains the right to marry, divorce and/or remarry another person. Some who feel obliged to pretend they are happily married end up with “Plot 2s” and even multiple partners. No matter disgusting the Veeps age difference with his wife is, the fact remains that he is not a perp. She is an adult and they are both legally married and I presume happy! There is nothing immoral about it, I’m sure a lot young women would like to be married like her too.
#86,87, I hear you very well,you are full of contradictions,I quote”I’m not a mouth piece of citizens in their private capacities least I lose my national vision. Patriotism does not usurp the right of people to privacy” end of quote.But you carry on to attack Chapi who has neither pointed a finger at you or asked you any question regarding #76.You are being un fair and you must appologise unreservadly.
Coming to your analysis, I asked you this question for a purpose,When it is old Madalas haranguing young girls the equation is always in affirmative when it is the other way round, abuse comes in.Did you read the BBC story on a 22 year old boy who married a 77 year old lady? My friend go into BBC and read that story it was a sad one to the effect that the Mother to the boy died of raised pressure.
Its morally right to have a wife even a second marriage as long as formidable reasons exist ranging from death,adultery,mental illness and finally greedy.In this age and era it
Just wanted to say bye to everyone on this blog. I have had a response to my request and so I am going to try and see where this will lead us. Thank you very much for your kindness. May you always be blessed.
will be wise for old Madalas to choose amongst their equals, 70 to 28 this man’s first born is around 50 fit to sire the bride to this man,then secondly this man is in the afternoon like yourself where does he drive the urge?His life expectancy as SAGE would define it is almost negligable, tis girl will soon be a widow and she makes a mistake to bear a kid it will be a learning disability, we cannot condone such greedy to mean anything, had he picked his equal it will be justifiable some one who is peaked(Menopause)ukukwangala at all costs, and this girl has just put herself in the dark tunnel but if she is a gold digger that is fine,she will have something to refer to like Anna Nicole.So Pragfimofimo mwaice dont support such ventures, even you if your dear wife left for some reason go for your equal, not someone fit to be your grand daughter it is immoral for both yourself and your kids plus grand children to call their age mate ati Mbuya.
#90 All the best and God bless you abundantly

#86 Pragmatist
Kuku, am pretty sure that ka m’dala ka pragfimofimo is a chainama case. How would he starts insulting innocent and humble pipo like Chapi and then he call himself a principled man? This kama old man the brain is in numerous phases of erosion making lose thinking ability and easily get confused in the course of issues at hand and dwelling on everlasting abhorrence that bears him a mark of the beast on his fore head 666. Old man, you’re not smart enough to swerve away from the straight forward question of veep marrying a nymph apt at his granddaughter’s age. Iwe ka Pragmatist when are you going to start shedding wisdom apart from insele? Try to emulate pipo like Kayata, Gaulani, Bauze, The Original Pundit, CK, Jude, Mme Daka and others who breathe love, wisdom, and peace in togetherness to champion mayhem installed by the stupid *****s ba MMD. Shikulu ba Pragmatist, ati mwalikwata ama fwamu yabili, kashi fishi mulimano? Limbi lubangula te?

This is veteran serial code #:444111_0099BCT XZA
#86 PRAGMATIST/VETERAN.I promised you one thing that I was going to expose your ignorance,blind loyalty and your insatiable apetite for bootlicking LPM.Fellow bloggers have just witnessed exactly that and I can now rest my case.Your first two paragraphs have just confirmed to people that personally know me such as SAGE and KC that apart from you being a bootlicker,you`re now going insane.Like they say bola panshi nabepi bateyeko noti chipantepante.Just respond to #74.
Ewe ulimbwa sana kwati abakunyele pano nsonde. when are you gona stop using my beautiful Ba Joze kanyela palubansa name? If you have a beef with Ci Veteran chobe chi family tree cohort chewing our tax money twala ubushilu ukokwine. Nga echakunyengele banoko kalwileni uko kwine. I’m the only Ba Joze kapanga tea pano ulolesha pa blog eno. I’m no close to the alien location you are giving me with some British codes 44. I’m a tea seller and PF brojo man on the blog. Please respect my entrepreneur spirit and accept my insele culture on the family tree. They have denied me any contruct i hate them. I will keep showing them with insele till the choke me down the Grave.I have purpose live for without insele on this family tree.That is our PF campaign way to our fellow kaponyas. Leave us alone go use your propaganda daily mail and Times of Zambia papers.Leave us a break this is the only way my paper can be head too.
Chapi (105),
While you wait to hear from Veteran allow me to plainly tell you off that all of you here have political biases. You all have opinionated behavioral patterns and are cheap bootlickers of opposite platforms. I’m a Graduate (MA) of political science and can tell that none here has his bias missed by my eyes.
From the many lectures and political analysis experience I have confirmed all the evidence right here. No one speaks with independence of mind. From your site non conformist blog overseer to the last debater the bias is all plain.
Above all none carries the morality you are trying to outdo each the on. You are all thieves benefiting and eying the people’s resources. MMD is doing it now giving each other contracts, scholarships, jobs, properties and power.
The same you are envying that one day you may be the ones raping Zambians hence all these useless name callings you are making here. They do not add any positive momentum to the ground situation but confusing poor souls of our children.
The more you do fight in blogs, the more one side of the two gains while the other one loses out. In this case the opposition with limited communication platforms is a definite casualty. GRZ has nothing to lose out of this name calling business of yours. Government has enormous capacity to reach out to voters even in a snap election.
Today Levy is canvassing the whole carry on a monthly basis. Atleast every week he is breaking some ribbon or laying some foundation of some development project around the country when the handicapped opposition is busy in Lusaka fighting some hot air. You on the blog here supposedly debating constructively are busy expecting the MMD supporters to shape the debate in your way.
How could you expect the likes of Pragmatist to toll your way that will weaken their party? It’s like your pretence has seriously clouded your brains leading to your failure to pick it that Pragmatist in particular is an experienced Government political propagandist with the art and capabilities to destroy hold Government interest. You must be the biggest non strategic jokers I have ever seen.
Be careful with MMD, it is restructuring when it all confusion and infighting in the opposition. Levy is busy positioning people ready for 2011 as he steps down. Open your eyes all you bootlickers of respective political parties. Your strategy so far is a dead one I warn you. MMD has nothing to lose out of here.
#107 scholar, you seem to have overlooked the essence of a BLOG! It’s a simple e-platform for people with like interests to share or counter-argue their ideas!! SO PEOPLE WITH LIKE IDEAS WILL HAVE ALOT TO CHEW ON A BLOG – thus with your superior political experience & analyses, YOU OUGHT TO HAVE REALISED THAT MAJORITY ON THIS BLOG WILL HAVE THEIR BIASES, I doubt whether any are pretending to be neutral, pity you spent so much time to reiterate “the writing on the wall!”
Each camp on this blog has one sole purpose, to try & attract as many converts as they can, hopefully, as more zambians get to know what others think, more will talk & discuss these issues, & the fire will spread. Which camp wins? Depends on what they Hear, See & EAT!!!
#108 BAUZE.You`ve got a better understanding about the purpose of a blog than # 107 Scholar who claims to be a political scientist.Already he`s categorising people that he doesn`t even know as being THIEVES.He`s simply introducing or reinventing himself as a clear DEMAGOGUE(someone who uses strong rhetoric to infleunce peoples opinions)I wish to welcome him to the NO SPIN ZONE at the altar of reason where everything and anything is fair game.
#109 Chapi, Too True, TooTrue!!
The point I’m driving home to the open minded is that you are all opinionated bootlickers to your respective political interests. No one here takes a stand to obliterate his own party but the other one. In politics any one with membership in a social grouping who toils the line of his party causes is a bootlicker to that cause. There is none here that is not tied to his social grouping causes. I have not seen a single post detaching itself from a pattern of political bias.
Therefore zeroing on that one is a lack of strategy and message to drive to the target audience.
There is no secret that bad seeds of a confusing situation for a timed seasoned have been deliberately sown for the ruling party advantage. MMD is using its zealots to reinforce a self sanitization process while UDA the then only hope has succumbed to the machinations of managed systematic destruction. It is dead and no more a factor on the scene. PF is facing a landmine crisis of worst scenario internal rivalry. No secret a lot seen to have been compromised and by default switched their loyalty from Sata whom they will challenge at the convention itself UDA has crumbled. Saki is fooled by the MMD while Nawakwi and Nervers have too many personal problems at hand. The labor union exists but on paper only. The whole ground situation is confusing especially for voters if time and resources will not be used wisely from now onwards.
#111 scholar, Welcome to the club of bootlickers!! Didn’t you just let slip when, I quote,”…while UDA the then only hope has succumbed to …” umm,umm,umm, you see, its only human to be biased.
That is what Zambian politics is all about….bootlicking! The only time i will ever cast my vote is when i contest for a parliamentary seat! If fools like some current current PF members are able to win! who am I to loose? They say, “turning dreams into reality is the providence of those with the strength and vision.”
As for now I do not waste my precious time and vote on fortune seekers….bootlickers whatever you want to call them!
108…! way to go my friend?
Christopher Mundia has failed as Public Prosecutor and reasons are very clear; commenting on court issues outside the court room. He has failed lamentably and must be dismissed. For Regina, the God you serve has vindicated you because for nearly 7 years you and your Husband have been in a season of war with people that personally hate you.
Let anyone without a fault be the first one throw the stone on you or FTJ.
The technical matters raised in London Judgement by Sangwa has sent Kayata and other MMD zealots to sleep. They cannot believe that the venom in that case has been rendered useless.
And the beat goes on!!!!!
ZAMBIAN GOVERNMENT TO REARREST AND RETRY FORMER FIRST LADY
The Zambian government says it intends to re-arrest and re-try Mrs. Regina Chiluba, wife of former President Frederick Chiluba on charges of receiving and obtaining stolen state property. The decision comes after a judge granted the government’s request to drop its prosecution of Mrs. Chiluba on all charges for the time being because the government could not find witnesses to testify against her.
Meanwhile, the judge has ordered the government to pay damages to Mrs. Chiluba and return all property seized from her.
Maxwell Nkole is chairman of Zambia’s Anti-Corruption Task Force responsible for investigating corruption during the 10 years of Chiluba’s presidency. He has said the government intends to re-arrest and retry Mrs. Chiluba because it believes it has a strong case.
“We have a very strong evidence against Mrs. Chiluba for possession of property suspected stolen or unlawfully obtained for which even during the investigation stage under question she failed she failed to explain how she got it. The statement she gave us was that her husband used to give her money from which she bought the properties in question. So obviously the husband is involved in this corruption trial and the judgment against him in London for money that he used to help himself from the government coffers. And we believe that Mrs. Chiluba’s case is a bi-product of the husband’s misconduct,†he said.
Nkole said the government would not honor the judge’s ordered to pay damages to Mrs. Chiluba.
“I don’t see how the government can be ordered to pay damages when in fact we haven’t concluded and prosecuted the case. As I said, these were our fears that the court was not being partial in this matter. When you enter nolle prosequi, it is expected that the case would be or may not be brought up again in court, and in this case the ceased items for Mrs. Chiluba are part and parcel of the exhibit list. And I think that it is premature for a court to rule that the exhibits be returned to her as assets. It shows that there is a prejudicial intent on the part of that decision,†Nkole said.
He reiterated the government’s intension to re-arrest and re-try Mrs.Chiluba.
“Yes, we are going to re-arrest her, take her before another court and then go through the whole process of trial,†he said.
Nkole denied the Zambian government has been engaged in political vendetta against the Chiluba family.
“No not at all. An independent court in London found her husband liable, and we have overwhelming evidence here at home of her husband’s criminal misconduct as well as misconduct on her part. So we are not prosecuting out of political vendetta. These are cases that have gone ahead with consultation with the director of public prosecutions, and all of us agreeed that there is a prima facie case against her for which she should answer,†Nkole said.
The government seized from Mrs. Chiluba four vehicles, three buildings, a television set and her bank accounts, which it used as exhibits during the trial.
But Nkole said the government does not intend to return the items despite the judge’s order they be returned to the former first lady.
“No we cannot do that. We can only return those things back to Mrs. Chiluba after a full trial. We intend to effect a re-arrest as soon as possible. It could be next week or the week after. I don’t know. It’s up to the handling officer to do so,†Nkole said.
Mwaiche Ka Kuku (115),
Stop being ashamed of your own misconducts. Just maintain your Kuku ID instead of wasting your time in hopeless Annonymous ID switch up. Once a pervert, always a pervert untill you realise it. Hidding your immoral bootlicking for your fellow perverts in plunders will not do.
You have been wagging your tail senselessly everywhere over a simple court judge misconduct in the the Regina Chifunda Mwanza Chiluba’s case. Which God are you blaspheming that way that he is for the pervert?
You should learn never to mention Yahwe in vain.You are cursed.
Mwaiche Ka Kuku (115),
Stop being ashamed of your own misconducts. Just maintain your Kuku ID instead of wasting your time in hopeless Annonymous ID switch up. Once a pervert, always a pervert. Until you realize it you are ranting for God’s cursed ones. Hiding your immoral bootlicking for your fellow perverts in plunders will not do any good in the long run.
You have been wagging your tail senselessly everywhere over a simple court misconduct by that judge in the the Regina Chifunda Mwanza Chiluba’s case. That isn’t even the final court of appeal.
Which God are you blaspheming that way that he is for the perverts?
You should learn never to mention Yahwe in vain not even at the behest of your master plunders. Your plunders were against Zambians’ hope and forced them into mass Graves for the impunity that you reigned on my country. Indeed your soul is a cursed one from the day it was born.

Mwaiche Kuku,
You are PF bootlicker why abandon your fellow rabid trollops now here now? The identification parade has been successfully done battle lines drawn. It does not do to abandon what you started.
You are rabid renegades to democracy and peace. I wish you all well in your dreams. Bump in me at Zambia online Open letter to the President old version old page.
Good luck
ZAMBIA ONLINE WITH ITS†DEAR MR. PRESIDENT” IS BACK
Cool the old “Dear Mr. President” on Zambia online is indeed back. ZOL should have long abandoned the new Discussion Forum version they switched too. That trial version was too vulnerable and a failure to serve any purpose. Spammers took over the show. Now that the old and secured version has been brought back I’m geared for more smart debates with any MMD diehards online.
Zambia online carries a national name and is the pioneer of smart online discussions. It has served democracy in Zambia with unbeatable tolerance. I wish LT could one day learn from them and establish rules of the game. ZOL has rules hence membership of intellectuals freely engaging.
Once again, it is not surprising that “Regina is free to go” until she is charged again for other crimes. Levy and State house, please stop wasting government resourses by starting cases that end without any tangible results i.e recovery of property to the state that has been perceived as stolen. The investigators used are very raw,as can be seen by the outcome of most these “corruption cases” driven by Mwanawasa. Corruption is still high in government and at state house as well. Cut on costs of unnecessary convoys escorting Levy to the airport and all over the country. The savings in this are far more than trying to pursue people who have complicated transactions which our freinds at ZP or DEC can not understand.What has happened to the helicopter you bought at a high price. People in Zambia, lets get serious and make these people in government to be accountable. In addtion, Levy flies in a new jet, the list of misuse of public funds is endless? Hospitals lack essential medicines?
BOZ has already certified that ZAMTROP had US$9 Million of private funds and that is why the FTJ case before the magistrate court is slowly dissoving.
BA JOZE (89) & # (92) UNDER TOPIC “LEVY TAKES A SWIPE AT MINISTERSâ€
Fellow compatriots,
Allow me to categorically dispel the lies and unfounded outbursts of Ba Joze in # (89) that I have been chased out of this blog. Let me put records straight by saying “No one has chased me out of the LT blogâ€. My decision is personal after some deep reflection on the standard of this blog that has sunk so low with insults becoming the standard of Ba Joze’s contribution style.
I may disagree with some political parties, Levy and his support base but have the conscious and morals not to align with this madness. Fortunately I have had someone who knows everything about LT has confided in me with evidence at hand that Ba Joze is the custodian of this blog. But if the custodian is that insane I don’t think there remains hope for smart and free debates. I do not find his verbatim on leaders and fellow debaters acceptable to swim in or carpet.
We all know here that this blog has been addressing Levy as Chuchu. Now look at Post # 89 & 92 I cite below. I neither see peace, dignity or constructive end in such debates driven on madness. Levy is a father, President, husband and elderly man very wrong to insult him like that. I do not think Ba Joze would take it kind if his Father and mother instead took those insults from any of the bloggers here.
Look at two posts in contention and tell if the source is okey in his head:
I quote “The named chaps fikopo sana ifyajayila ukulanda indee bwana nokupema ifisushi fyakwa chuchu thinking they will silence me. Babepelefya…Am a radical umwinemwineâ€.

Lifa, #125,I agree with you. The blog should be used to provide one another with reasonable debates rather than use it as a platform to assult people in a messless fashion. As true Zambians, our parents have always told us to respect others, people should not “grow wings” and utter offending words. Even if people on the debate take negative stand on issues, it would be good to use polite language. This will show how mature all of us looking at issues are rather than display narrow minds. The blog is on the internet and is seen by so many people, hence we need to guard our integrity.
Am not old on this blog but if I see the same language highlighted by Lifa, I will definately stop my participation.
#125 & #126, I am creating a more decent and professional chatroom dedicated to Zambian issues. You are most welcome to join. LT is good but there is simply no adminstrative control. I will advise.
Diversity is good let the people judge who is serious. I’m almost done with mine potentially meeting international discusion forum standards.You cannot run a public debating blog without rules, controls or with oversears that are such opinionated and delogatory against those in opposite side. You should learn from the Smart Chanda Chisala at ZOL who articulates his mind but without insults on those that come out mentally challenging him. Ba Joze is a failure, has communications problems and is too emotion with his insulting tongue.
Hi, Neat post. There is an issue along with your web site in internet explorer, would test this? IE nonetheless is the marketplace leader and a huge part of people will omit your great writing due to this problem.
I just could not leave your website before suggesting that I really enjoyed the standard information an individual provide to your guests? Is gonna be back steadily to check out new posts
