THE Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) has said the judgment involving Lusaka lawyer Rodger Chongwe’s claim for compensation should have first been registered in the Zambian courts before payment is considered.
LAZ president Steven Lungu said in an interview yesterday that the judgment should have first been registered in Zambia for it to have legal efficacy especially that no Zambian Government official represented the country when Dr Chongwe took the matter to United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC) following the 1997 Kabwe shooting incident.
He said since Dr Chongwe did not exhaust all the local channels before taking the matter to the UNHRC, it was prudent that the matter was registered for it to have legal efficacy.
“One of the conditions for one to take the matter that far is to first exhaust all local channels but in this case, nothing like that was done,” Mr Lungu said.
He said the amount awarded to Dr Chongwe as compensation was too much as compared to what the Zambian courts award as compensation.
And Chief Government Spokesperson Ronnie Shikapwasha echoed the LAZ sentiments saying it was only correct to ensure the matter was registered in Zambia, especially that Dr Chongwe had not given reasons he took the case to UNHRC without first exhausting all the local channels.
Lieutenant General Shikapwasha said the LAZ observation was right because the Zambian Government should not be made to pay even for issues of Dr Chongwe’s alleged self imposed exile.
Gen Shikapwasha said issues of where Dr Chongwe took the matter and why he decided to take the matter to Australia were some of the legal aspects that needed to be heard before the compensation could be effected.
“For example, who forced Dr Chongwe into exile, is it not himself? And why should Government be made to pay for that?
These are some of the issues that need to be heard before even thinking of effecting payment,” he said.
He said it was sad that some opposition leaders speak the loudest on issues they did not have facts about but failed to apologise to the nation when Government presented the correct facts.
When contacted for a comment, Justice Deputy Minister Todd Chilembo referred all queries to the acting Attorney General(AG) Abyudi Shonga.
However, Mr Shonga’s mobile phone was not reachable.
On Monday, State House said President Banda in fact had on November 30, 2009 blocked the payment of US$6.7 million to Dr Chongwe because the amount was too excessive and was going to set a bad precedent.
President Banda’s Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations Dickson Jere said Dr Chongwe’s compensation which initially stood at US$2.5 million had accumulated to US$6.7 million as a result of additional amounts in legal costs and loss of earnings.
Mr Jere explained that President Banda blocked the payment of the compensation which was eventually agreed upon after Dr Chongwe’s meeting with Justice Minister George Kunda who is also Republican Vice-President and later the AG, without the knowledge of the president.
[Times of Zambia]
Stephen is finally showing leadership. Go man, go!
Thats true LAZ. What is the basis of the payment. This is the way LAZ should comment on issues. Not kunklala tyala
Bravo Lungu and LAZ,well guided,we have been waiting for that opinion.And Shika has exhibited some sense this time around,he may have prayed to the right God Almighty before making a comment.
This is how much we are losing as Zambians, when we are not aware. What more ifyo ta twaishiba.
People read Shikapwasha’s explanation. To me he seems to have taken a 360 degrees turn on the issue.
Why didn’t RB consult LAZ before meeting with Chongwo? How can Zambia accept the decion of the foreign court without being there? Ask uncle Bob or TJF for advice. Even if Chongo was in australia, the Australian government would not have given him that money. This is a greedy man who has no regard for the suffering Zambians.
Spot on Steven Lungu and LAZ. For once I have appreciated Shika’s comments
The day the post will be gagged is the day Zambia will go back into self colonialism,,,,we would never have known about this transaction…now if this case is registered,then chilubas case will have to be registered as well,precedence at play…..TIYE TIMWE TISANGALALE, OLO BALABILE NIZAO IZO, IVO VIMASILU VIONENI NOBUFI UBWA K.U.N.Y.A
Chongwe should take his case to our Local Judiciary system. Let them determine what is due to him just like the do to the rest of the Zambians. He cannot be a special case. He went into exile on his own accord and as such we cannot be made to pay for him having decided to go and live with his in-laws in Australia.
I am amazed at the change of picture of Chongwe’s case, this is the result of the good free Post Newspaper.
Viva Post. Ba ngwele ba RB & company nga bali tubepa
He said it was sad that some opposition leaders speak the loudest on issues they did not have facts about but failed to apologise to the nation when Government presented the correct facts.
Shikapwasha ashaina lelo. Kudos to The Post though, and all right thinking Zambians for keeping this government on its toes and ensuring that there is accountability and transparency in all its dealings.
Im impressed with this young looking Lawyer. Why was RB, the VEEP and the AG so fast in wanting to pay? Why was the RB and his team trying to renegotiate when this was not done. George Kunda has again advised RB wrongly. We shall see what happens next. GK should resign on moral grounds for misleading the President
Sanity at last!!
Even the blind (Shika…) can now see, wow! Did it rain yesterday in Zambia to clear up some of the “intellectual fog” hovering over some of these people??
At least I am encouraged to see the Gen/Rev/Minister Shaka do an “about turn” (180 degrees turn) for the benefit of the Nation. A move that should be very familiar to Shikapwasha; he was once a soldier for crying out loud!! You just hope he can do this more often—-to think b4 plunging himself head-first into mindless boot-licking orgies.
all u people celebrating will be shocked when the real information comes out about the role Malila played in all this. it will be embarrasing for malila and the post. also note the issue of registering the judgement and that all local channels should have been exhausted before chongwe went to UNHCR. Note the similarity with FTJ’s case. why didnt govt follow the same channel in his case? becoz levy interfered. so what argument will be given to have foreign judgment by a biased racist british judge be registered in FTJ’s case but for chongwe is okay? watch this space. people must learn to read between the lines and not just accept the lies of the post and that buffoon called sata
Like i always say, the all judiciary system in zambia is compromised, RB knows the game he is playing here, if this case has to be registered in zed courts, why chiluba’s case went to London before exchausting all chanels in zed courts?
God can do wonders, atleast once and for all Shikapwasha has sided with the zambian people. LAZ exercise your responsibilities thats a good move.
# 15 PLEASE EXPRESS YOUR VIEWS WITH RESPECT. CALLING YOUR FELLOW BLACK PERSON A BUFFOON IN UNJUSTIFIABLE. I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT BUT IT’S GOOD TO BE INDEPENDENT IN POLITICAL ISSUES WHEN YOU DON’T BELONG TO A PARTY. YOUR COMMENT SHOWS THAT YOU ARE MMD
hahahah..heheheh…these liars, now they see sense in what we have been saying. What a gonvernment you have in Zambia. Here even a two year old child can say that RB has been found pants down. Please RB change for the better , dont think our money is yours no. We have employed you to take care of our money and not to reward it to your polical friends, No RB change.
WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS FIRE FIGHTING???
It seems that at last Shikapwasha is beginning to listen to voices of reason and is now reasoning with his brains and not his massive nose. And those who are in the habit of condemning the Post Newspaper should realise that without the Post cases like this would never be known and this US$6 million would have been made secretly. There is a long list of scandals and corrupt practices that have been unearthed by The Post and saved our country. The useless Times of Zambia, Daily Mail and Zambia Broadcasting are there just to serve the powers that be and NOT the Zambia people. Without the Post, Zambia would have crumbled to its knees by now.
lol!! I wonder what Shikapwasha have for breakfast this morning. Lies are always difficult to contain. To those people always bashing the POST Iv’e got a good suggestion for you.. WHY Don’t you START your OWN DAILY newspaper where you can the show us what should be reported, when, about who etc.. Do your thing.. Post is a private paper you too can start your own.. The beauty with Zambia is nobody is holding your legs.. Stop hating on Fred Meembe haters… HATE THE GAME.. OR CHANGE IT.. pass on the advice to RB too..
fork tongued crooks, you’re lucky there’s only one proper newspaper to contend with. Imaging we had more than two Post-like newspapers taking turn on these shameless crook, we would be reading about scandals from dawn to dask and die of hunger because we wouldn’t time left to work. Too ghastly to contemplate, thank God we only have one Post to read.
# 15 we can’t wait to see who will be embarrassed in this issue .we are celebrating because the revelations did swing governement into action to do something about the issue, fire fighting as usual.Personnally i don’t care who gets caught up in this scandal .I only care about the tax payers money that would have been lost in this dubious transaction that does not make economic sense.We are waiting to see who will be embarassed but as things are at the moment post is leading on points.The governement is playing catch up.Goodday!!!!!!!!!
I am surprised that jealous people are trying to portray the payments as scandalous. There is nothing untoward about Dr Chongwe payment because it was sanctioned by the United Nations and the Government failed to defend itself. Zambian security agencies are the most brutal in Africa and they must begin to pay for their brutality. Unless that payment is made we shall continue to witness Human rights violations by the state. Dr Chongwe is only being denied his money because of petty jealous by some individuals. What the Police committed was a serious firearm incident and if that incident happened a Western country Govt would compensate the victim. Zambia must compensate the Gabon victims. Patrick Chiko Bwalya was paid U$150,000 for torture, that payment was not sanctioned by our courts
My advice to Zambians is to always take the words of each contributor with a pinch of salt.This includes RB, Sata and Fred Mumembe’s Post. They all have interests to serve. The Post has decided to take a side in Zambian politics and refused to remained neutral and objective. This is their right. But we should always be conscious of this. It determines how they break a story. For instance they ignored any good thing about the Jacob Zuma visit to Zambia and what the expansion programme of Nakambala means in terms of exports for Zambia. A sophisticated readership always strives for balance. The Post is not for balance. That is fine, as long as we are aware of it.
What ever you relations of chongwe say, the fact is that you will not reap where you did not sow simple. If your uncle chongwe got into an ill deal with our jocker president, know that it will not work. Thats our Money we Zambians. Just work hard so that you earn your own fortune not stealing from Zambians. I think na chimikalipa sana that the $6 million has eluded you after planing for it. Hahahah hehehehe.
#15 King Solomon stop comparing Oranges ans Apples. Chiluba was tried by UK courts because that is where he and his criminal courts loundered stolen Zambian money. Chiluba and his crooks at ZANACO may have managed to expunge transaction records at ZANACO but these records are still there in the UK Banks.
#25 Illovo started the expansion Project in 2005/6. Doubling of Hectorage under cultivation is long term business.. takes that long to develop. We are just at the end of it. Though a private initiative but if credit is to be given to a political establishment, it goes in full to Levy Patrick Mwanawasa.. We are yet to see anything of significance kick off under Rupiah’s stewardship..Maybe ZAMTEL.. but so far he’s been looking in the wrong places (Swaziland, Uganda, Tanzania)
#25 go back to The Posts archives and check,they reported extensively about Zumas visit and his trip to nakambala,you say they ignored any good thing about zumas visit,what negative things did they report if they ignored good things,,,can you show us any article you reckon was or is not objective and elaborate…like you rightly commented,i take your oppinion with a pinch of salt with lime,tequila style
MMD-thief RB is caought pants down. He is a jocker who does not feel shame. Now he is icing his evil deal with his brother Chongwe with inspid lies. He is well known to be a liar in every thing he does. Always telling lies, lies upon lies. You cant rule a country by lies. Let RB change for the better.
@#24 ungaseke!!! pali na jealous sure apa…ati the zambian security are the most brutal in africa, as if he has been to all the african nations to witness any brutality in comparison to the zambian security,sounds more like sour grapes, sebana wikute

Mwiponta Mukabwela says
There is a difference between the 2 cases. Chiluba has hidden the money he stole from Zambia in UK. So British government is helping us repatriate that money. There is no comparison apart from being handled by foregn courts.
mr naa, I do not need to be MMD to know that Sata is a buffon who will never be president. pf has received less votes in the two bye-elections in kasama and solwezi. most voters decided not to vote rather than vote for pf/upnd. thats why mmd may lose bye-elections but bounce back at the general election because when people think very hard they realize sata is worse than the current crop of politicians. so as i said sata is a buffoon with no analytical capacity. he cant see that this rodger chongwe thing is a trap for them. wait and see
G.r.a.p.e.s naimwe ba LT
dej vu dont be so dull. if chiluba had money stashed in the Uk they would have already taken it from him. the uk is just playing politics. remember as far back as the early 90’s the famous nigerian who was arrested in uk with a suitcase full of money and uk refused to deport him back nigeria. also remember sani abacha’s money which natwest and llloyds bank were keeping for him and which was only release after the nigerian government went to international court. the british were complicit in ftj’s so called theft. how come atan shnasonga is allowed to live in uk without hindrance or justice? guys focus on your lives and stop believeing in the lies of post and sata. the truth will always triumph sooner or later.
mahtani was paid over US$4 million by mwanawasa and magande for his detention ordeal. who sanctioned that payment. if we are going to dispute rodger’s money lets open up all government payouts from 1972 until now and see who is corrupt??

London court dismisses Chiluba’s appeal
By Inonge Noyoo and Laura Mushaukwa
Saturday June 30, 2007 [04:00]
London High Court Judge Peter Smith has dismissed former president Fredrick Chiluba’s application for permission to appeal against his judgment. And after several hearings aimed at reconciling figures in the London High Court judgment, Chiluba will now be required to pay a final amount of US$57,441,769.38 in respect of the Zamtrop Conspiracy , the BK conspiracy and for breach of fiduciary duty.
Chiluba and his co-accused had sought leave to apply against the London judgment after it was delivered via video link on May 4, 2007.
But judge Smith dismissed the applications saying they were not morally right and were absurd.
Judge Smith dismissed the applications against the court’s findings of dishonest saying one could not appeal on the findings of the court.
Judge Smith said it would be absurd for the law to allow the defendants to have limitations.
He however said he would ensure that every party wishing to challenge his judgment had the right to go to a higher court of appeal.
He further explained that it would not be appropriate to deprive any of the defendants their right to appeal.
And Former Zambia Security and Intelligence Service director Xavier Chungu will be required to pay US$57,261,390.72 in respect of the Zamtrop Conspiracy and US$56,442,027.90 in respect of the BK conspiracy and for breach of fiduciary duty.
Former Access Finance Services director Faustin Kabwe will be required US$53,257,020.30 in respect of the Zamtrop conspiracy and the BK conspiracy as well as US$39,955,336.36 for dishonest assistance.
Aaron Chungu who is also former Access Finance Director will be required to pay US$26,682,289.65 in respect of the Zamtrop Conspiracy and US$13,380,605.71 for dishonest assistance.
King Solomon what a joke. Its hurts me that we have people who reason like you in this day and era. My God deliver you. MMD’s days are numbered .
Former Ministry of Finance permanent secretary Stella Chibanda will be required to pay US$57,261,390.72 in respect of the Zamtrop Conspiracy and US$56,442,027.90 for breach of fiduciary duty.
Judge Smith has also ordered that Meer Care and Desai, Cave Malilk and company and Bimal Thaker should pay 60 per cent of claimant’s costs in relation to the Zamtrop Conspiracy.
deja vu being dull is not an insult. i am expressing my opinion of your views. i did not say you are dull I said do not be dull thats all.
#47 Ok please here in Zed we call every thing an insult(joking)
is it not your very own darling post newspaper that said rodger deserves to get his money? they said it categorically that they were not against rodger getting his money. they also said he was their friend. they merely published a public opinion from a politician. it will be interesting to see how the current AG will deal with the matter. what a waste of time that politicians in zambia have nothing else to talk about and you so called bloggers do not read between the lines of what is said, instead yopu respond emotionally without proper analysis. those who dispute what i say look nalayse the 2008 results against the recent results and you will see. its all on the ECZ website

monalisa, meer care appealed and have won compensation from the government of 3 million pounds
Iwe Solomon, ngeshi shimbi impiya shilikwisa? Tuleshifyaya!
in 2006 kasama central a total of 24,575 votes were cast. in 2008 only 15447 so almost 10,000 kasama voters did not bother to come out and vote. Chishimba received 12,201 while kachingwe received MMD 6,853. In 2008 GBM received just over 10,000 votes while mugala received about 4,000 in fact 4184 to be exact and gbm 10,688. From the above it is obvious that only the core voters of each party came out to vote. Now come 2011 when the stakes are high those 10,000 who did not vote will come out and by then new voters will be added to the voters roll. So all MMD needs to do is to convince the apathetic voter to come out and vote and also show people that just like in 2001, 2006 and 2008 sata cannot be trusted. simple mathematics and analysis
Capitain SOLO Number 15 what is your problem. You are amazing the blog, During UNIP era no one was allowed to talk about the govt. Pipo spoke and cried for Multiparty System through the post, today its the MMD cardes insulting the post. Where were you in 1990 when the post supported Multiparty system. You only say thankx nga Kali mwitobo(bemba) in your mouth. Post is the paper that digg dipper and educate not you media which only write of you trips and ZANAMA meeting. Freedom of expression iliche. Thieve have no room in Zambia, continue stelling you shall be exposed. Ask FTJ, Chungu, Sakala,Katele,Nyorongo,Silavwe,Musengule to mention a feel. If you are one of them please whatch out
Its very amazing to have pipo like KING SOLOMON No#15 who can insulting post. This man is not only dull but a theive Mushibila insala. May be even the internet line he had used its a stolen one. We have learnt a lot with post. Your useless media only write of your trips and praising your Party. As zambian we want the paper that dipper and exposing you thieves
Shikapwasha should just shut up over this issue. Let competent fellas like the Lungus comment. I am not a lawyer, but from what am seeing, its like there are short cuts in law mwe. can someone tell me why Chongwe took that rout in the first place. I also have a complaint against my mother in law. Kuti bakupelako “hefty” compensation. Filishani kanshi bane?
#53 ….walasa man. These MMD-thieves have no shame. Since their potential theft has been exposed they are looking for an escapegoat….the POST. What d.ull creatures they are really. The post is a very brave paper which speaks when they have facts before them. When they reported this $6 million they already had a signed agreement, so they just wanted to expose RB and his minion’s lies and evils to the public. Its good that now RB and his advisors know that THE POST hold their files. It knows every thing about govnt transactions. They have withdrawn the oil transaction coz of the POST. They know that the post has everything about the transaction but waiting for the right time to expose them. THIS IS THE POST…..a paper which works like the FBI. wapwa muzi.
# 18 you are pot on. However, Mr Sata (recently refered to as Mp3 by Muvi TV commedy show) is an insolent man and he knows the adage in his own language which says something like “ubufumu buchindika ubwine” translated as “the king is respected if he respects himself”. I happen to attend a rally at woodlands stadium in 1990 where Mr. M Sata was one othe people addressing the MMD rally, at that rally Mr Sata hurled insults at the former first republican president. Even though I supported change that was totally un acceptable to me and from that time on the man has continued unabaited to use very bad language at his colleagues. Perhaps I expect too much from him. This agenda of “insults” and use of un palatable language has now characterized even the so called independent media.
King Solomon usikuba.
#52/#53, my advice is that every source of opinion should be taken with a pinch of sault including the Post and Mumembe. In 1991 the Post sold Chiluba to the people. What are they saying about him now. In 2001, the Post opposed Mwanawasa, what are they saying about him now. In 2006, the Post reminded the public about Sata’s history, what are they saying about him now. The moral is that we should all read the Post intelligently knowing that they have their own interests to serve. Some times these interests coincide with the best interests of Zambia. Somrtimes they are different. As for me I do not support any political party or leader. I try to seek the truth.
#36, King Solomon: What is your point?
So what if there has been corruption and illegal payouts since the 70s! Does that mean we can’t have a fresh start and clean up the mess? If Chongwe deserves compensation, yes, he should get it; but he should do it in a right way in accordance with Zambian Law. Let the courts decide the rightful amount commensurate to his injuries—-that is all people are asking for—-not that he shouldn’t get compensated.
Are Zambians wrong to demand that the way of doing things should change?!
King solomon your anaysis does not make sense at all the Kasama one!!
Yamba yamba I dont believe that Chongwe used the wrong route. You see law is based on opinions and LAZ have passed an opinion on the best route to be used but no that is not cast in stone. There is what is called out of court settlements, which if what you recall was offered to FTJ by LPM. hE SAID RETURN A certain percentage and I will let you free. Personally I feel this issue has been over sensationalised really. My analysis o events is this—1// Chongwe is shot at 2// Chongwe obtains a judgement after the govt does not represent itself and Chongwe takes the matter to the UNHCR 3// . Chongwe takes the matter up without success with LPM 4// Chongwe meets RB who admits a liability and sends the legal authorities for an opinion. The post comes across the information and publishes
4/ there appears to be inconsistencies between the various versions but this seem to be more based on intepretaions of the facts .. All in all, its good that this has come out and this will probably provide guidance on how to handle such in future. We however all need to understand that there are diffrerent interests at play A – Chongwe wants and rightly so compensation B – The post has an editorial policy that they must fufill (this policy includes their stance towards the MMD government) 3- The post sources also have an interest, we dont know whether their intentions are noble or not and how truthfull they were 4 – The Govermenthave an interest to avoid embarrasment in the issue
$ 6,7 million compensation is just too much for an individual, whether or not this case was registered in the local courts. Dr. Chongwe should have known that such a horrendous figure would stir a lot of emotions amongst the Zambian citizens when he took the case to UNHRC.
Since this issue stated in Chiluba’s era, all the things that they confisicated from Regina Mwanza should be sold and the proceeds should go to The Roger Chongwe fund.
#65 should say started not stated.
The POST this , the POST that ….how i wish i read this POST newspaper..!….or perhaps not..
…..I might be accused of being dull 🙂
Chongwe is a thief who wants to take advantege of poor Zambians to enrich himself . RB is also actively involved in the payment of this colossal sume of money.. lots and lots of zambians have died at the hands of our police, and alot more others are now lame because of the same police;;pay Chongwe any amount of money and you will pay every Zambian who has been maimed by ZP
#62 Positivist point of correction Bra! Law is based on FACTS and PRECEDENCE not on oppinion,get your facts right before hitting the submit button
It does not matter what you say you MMD-thieves, the fact remains that MMD and RB have been caught pants down. They wanted to steal from Zambians period. Dont even talk about interpretation coz even a two year old child is able to see through the evill intentions of RB and MMD. SHAME ON YOU ALL.
The Post has lost the moral authority to represent Zambians or to call themselves a paper that digs deeper. They have tried in vain to employ tactics of 1991 of inciting the emotions of gullible citizens against the Government of Rupiah Banda. They have failed lamentably because all the economic indicators are good. We have seen both human and financial capital being deployed heavily in the Zambian economy. Let’s be clear that Investors are more interested in the buoyant environment than having a bantubotawe President in State House. Chinese Investors have introduced new capital in Luanshya and we seen unprecedented economic expansion in Mazabuka. The Post is supporting individuals and institutions that are waging a primitive, muted tribal war against the Presidency. Natiye Malume!!
Tiye timwe tisangalale,olo balabile niliye nao nchito….irrespective of the investment and positive economic indicators being experienced in Zed,the POST has managed to keep them on their toes by their investigative reporting,anything they try to sweep under the carpet has is still being exposed, i would call that VAIN reporting,i dont believe the post are in competition with the govnt for them to be labeld as failures,all they are doing is reporting, and if someone thinks the post is lying,why not take them to court with facts,maybe the court will close the post down so we can remain with times and daily mail
We all know Chongwe was together with KK nearly killed at the behest of no other than Chiluba and Miyanda who was then acting president. Sata and Shikapwasha were both in the government on that day, one as Portfolioless Minister (villageless village headman as my brother Dr Sichone would say) while Shikapwasha was Air Commander. Now, for Shikapwasha to say this: “For example, who forced Dr Chongwe into exile, is it not himself? And why should Government be made to pay for that?” it is very satanic. Its a fact the money is too much but its Sata, Shikapwasha and Chiluba who nearly killed Roger and they should just shut up! If I had a gun, I will slay this fool, period.
It would appear someone has finally put some bollocks on the Law Association of Zambia, they have demanded the resignation of the DPP. The DPP is supposed to serve the interests of Zambians and not those of criminals who have injured this country. His decision to withdraw the appeal against Chiluba’s verdict clearly shows whose side he is on and its right that the LAZ should demand for his immediate removal from office and I hope they will go further by removing his from the BAR. He is a shame to this noble profession.
I thought judgement is judgement and can not be challenged outside court. Zambia is a signatory to the court in question and we are oblidged to follow its judgement. Moreover, we know the causer and he is still alive. Why not pay the bills to him and we stop the rubbish so that who ever is president must know that if he boobs, he will be made to account for his or her deeds. I demand Chiluba the Monkey must pay Chongwe and save our money for building schools, roads, etc.
The whole judicially system is now compromised. Chief justice is past his sale by date; Vice Preza is also Justice minister; Attorney General has been shown the door for not following RB`s instruction.What else can RB do to be impeached.?
Give this money to victims of the Gabon disaster and the rest to build more hospitals, schools or at the least repair them. Do not pay Chongwe this kind of money, this is robbery…..never would an Australian govt. pay him that much or any advanced country for that matter. Please RB listen to Zambians!!! If the govt. always complains about not having enough money for developmental projects in our country…where is this money going to come from (donors or your pocktes) ??? We need to know. This is ridiculous….we are killing Zambia everyday. This got to STOP. MMD kuyabebele….! And why should George Kunda have two jobs…..VP and Justice minister…Is there any sense in this….are there no other educated people who can run the show too? In fact better than him?? LAZ speak out again!
