GOVERNMENT will not appeal against the verdict by the Lusaka High Court in a matter in which it sought the registration and enforcement of the London judgment that found second president Frederick Chiluba and seven others guilty of theft of US$46 million.
Chief Government spokesperson, Ronnie Shikapwasha also challenged Senior Chief Bright Nalubamba, The Post, and Transparency International Zambia (TIZ) to explain why they did not demand an appeal in a matter in which Post news editor Chansa Kabwela was acquitted over possession of pornographic material.
Lieutenant-General Shikapwasha said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that the Government’s view was that the nation should move ahead and concentrate on providing development and other services instead of persecuting former heads of State and satisfy foreign interests.
He said all citizens, including Chief Nalubamba, had an obligation to respect the outcome of the courts and the weight of the judiciary instead of pouring scorn on critical institutions that should be held in high esteem.
Gen Shikapwasha, who is Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services, said TIZ, The Post newspaper, Chief Nalubamba and some critical civil society organisations were fond of condemning verdicts that went against the wishes of the people whose interests they wanted to satisfy.
“You cannot celebrate the acquittal of Chansa Kabwela today because we did not appeal and then tomorrow you demand an appeal when others have been cleared,” Gen Shikapwasha said.

The Zambian Government, through the office of the Attorney General had been pursuing the registration of the verdict passed in London by Judge Peter Smith but the court ruled on Friday that there was no reciprocal arrangement between Zambia and the United Kingdom to facilitate the registration of the judgment.
Dr Chiluba had contested late Judge Japhet Banda’s order to register the judgment in Zambia, arguing that he could not be tried by a British judge being a citizen of another sovereign State.
Gen Shikapwasha said it was unfortunate that critical civil society organisations and a traditional leader could bring the reputation of the Zambian judiciary down when the institution was enjoying respect internationally.
He said Zambian judges were highly respected by international organisations that include COMESA and the SADC Tribunal where they were serving.
The minister said the Government did not have anything to do with the verdict passed by the High Court.
Critics of the Government wanted to satisfy the interests of foreign agencies at the expense of national interest that included respect for the judicial system.
There had been many verdicts passed against the Government and no appeals had been lodged to avoid protracting legal matters and diverting from its development agenda and national unity.

But US embassy public affairs officer, Priscilla Hernandez said recovering the money would have sent a strong message about Zambia’s commitment to good governance for the benefit of investors, US tax payers and other countries who provide assistance to Zambia.
She said the outcome was a lost opportunity for Zambians and the US government had followed events connected to Dr Chiluba’s civil judgment with great interest.
She observed that Dr Chiluba’s case had garnered significant interest in the international media and continued to influence the way donors and investors perceive Zambia’s commitment to the fight against corruption.
“It is crucial that serious efforts to combat corruption at all levels continue to be pursued vigorously and effectively. We have ongoing dialogue with the Government on corruption,” Ms Hernandez said in a media release in Lusaka yesterday.

What a surprise!!!! And who expected anything different?—-give me a break!!
lelo shikapwasha walatukwa, bafintweno balifulwa elo ulelanda ati no appeal.lobe
“He said all citizens, including Chief Nalubamba, had an obligation to respect the outcome of the courts and the weight of the judiciary instead of pouring scorn on critical institutions that should be held in high esteem.”
Very true. I absolutely agree.
“Gen Shikapwasha, who is Minister of Information and Broadcasting Services, said TIZ, The Post newspaper, Chief Nalubamba and some critical civil society organisations were fond of condemning verdicts that went against the wishes of the people whose interests they wanted to satisfy.”
Also true.
Other than being a cashcow for cartel of upstart lawyers in conspiracy, this case has had a poor value for money. Besides that, pandering to the tantrums of hate groups would be detrimental to the natural laws of independent justice system premised on practical separation of powers in our nascent democracy.
Is this the Zambia we CRY for or it’s a different Zambia.
We cant do anyuthing to the ruling, It has been passed and it’s water under the bridge, BUT we are against failure to appeal. This MMD is full of wrong suprizes and decisions.
Indeed why appeal and just incur some more unnecessary costs as if the billions plundered by the Task Force was not heart-rending enough? Why appeal just to appease Chiluba haters and shameless imperialist agents? The hatred disguised as a call for accountability has been laid bear by the courts of justice. The Post can sream daily with all the headlines they want and quote all their predictable bitter and sour sources like Kabimba, Kazabu, Nalubamba, Hansungule, Lifuka, Mpombo, Sata et al. Let them now choke on their nauseating hatred until they start commiting suicide on gates of Bwinjimfumu.
GRZ pushed this case as petitioneers and legitimately they have lost it. As a constitutional Government of laws and not hateful men, i applaud the people’s Government for conceeding defeat by respecting the justice system.The day as a country we started pandering to the whims of nascissistic tabloids belonging to xenophobes, that would be the day of national and democratic forefeiture.
Defend Zed from xenophobes.
Channel any budgetary allocated resources for this cartel to national development which will be for the common good.
‘But US embassy public affairs officer, Priscilla Hernandez said recovering the money would have sent a strong message about Zambia’s commitment to good governance for the benefit of investors, US tax payers and other countries who provide assistance to Zambia.’ Shikapwasha read through these lines and you will see a STRONG messege about what donors feel about their money they give to Zambia.
The legion of xenophobes in the likes of Mmembe, Frank Bwalya, Nalubamba, Kabimba, Sata, Lubinda, Nalubamba, Hansungule, Lifuka, Mpombo and such inimical to independent justice system are free to ask the UN for a no-man’s land or hibernate with Sata to Taiwan next year. Their move will be a good riddance to this .
From Govt of laws to Govt of Flaws!!! I wonder how many people are still attending Shikapwasha’s Church!!
IT IS NOT SHOCKING BECAUSE WE EXPECTED IT–INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS INJUSTICE EVERYWHERE…BUT THINGS WILL NOT CHANGE CHILUBA STILL REMAINS A THIEF
Let retired Judge Smith and trolls at the Zambian tabloid get their brother Blair to account for the British Saud Scandals they have since blocked than expecting us to be pandering to them.
Google and read this one:
“Saudi Arabia and the BAE Arms Scandal”
It therefore doesn’t surprise us that the government will not appeal judge Hamaundu’s highly questionable decision to allow Chiluba to keep his loot in Zambia. This is not justice, but a mockery of it.
Is #10 related to Shikapwasha? The two really sound the same. One thing I know is that Shikawasha only has grade 9 but has spent time memorizing the dictionary. Perhaps thats why he always produces words with no meaning. What was there to appeal in Chansa Kabwale’s case? In the fist place Kabwela should not even have been brought before court becuse she did absolutly nothing wrong. And there was no court which could have granted them leave to appeal.
@10..STICK TO THE POINT WE TALKING ABOUT GOVT AND CHILUBA’S CASE…LET US LEARN TO BE SINCERE ZAMBIANS..I DO NOT BELONG TO ANY POLITICAL GROUPING LIKE SOME OF YOU APPEAR BUT PLEASE LET US TRY TO OPPOSE THINGS THAT WE EVEN SEE AS WRONG THINGS OTHER WISE OUR ZAMBIA AND OUR ONLY ZAMBIA IS DOOMED……I COME FROM THE SAME VILLAGE WITH CHILUBA-HE IS MY RELATIVE BUT WILL NEVER SUPPORT HIS EVILS TO THIS NATION OUR ONLY HOPE
Shikapwasha is an Imbecile, How do you compare the Chansa Kabwela case to Chiluba’s thefts case? We the Zambians did not stop the MMD from appealing Chansa Kabwela case, so Ronnie dont involve us. They (MMD) were the complainants. They failed to answer whether RB and George had a rise after viewing the pictures, they failed to answer whether RB and George Kunda were sexualy stimulated when they Viewed the pictures which were sent in confidence to alert them about a problem. The lost the case. In the Chiluba Case, the money stolen is there. How dare you compare the two cases.
A thousand will keep falling at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. (Psalm 91:7)
FJT as a living believer, Jehovah is your refuge and your fortress; he is your God, in whom you trust. Not even with you under all these baseless schemes of xenophobic anti independent justice system hate groups, no doubt a thousand of them shall fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you. Only with your very own eyes shall thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked dissipated. For Jehovah is your refuge! He has made the Most High your indisputable habitation; I repeat there shall be no will of the evil ones befalling you never (Psalm 91:2,7-10).
Just a little while, and the wicked ones will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the earth and enjoy great peace and affluence. (Psalm 37: 10,11)
Psalm 105:15 “Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm.” says the Lord God all mighty
THE EVIL AND THEIR COMPROMISED SELVES WILL FALL AND DIE WITH THEIR CONSPIRACIES AGAINST GOD’S OWN
In Zambia the government is a BIG CIRCUS. So sad the way things are done.
senior s.h.i.t citizen, simply shut up. i dont even know what makes you senior. this govt seems to frustrating pipo every day and you seem to be one of my major irritants on this blog. but eeeeish its a democracy, freedom of speech is guaranteed.
God’s Defeated Adversary discombulated, messmerized and gasping
There are two unfortunate trends in the country today regarding Satan the devil, as an unrelenting adversary and enemy of God and constitutional humanity. Most people are unaware or discount the devil’s role in creating chaos, suffering and evil. For many people, the idea of a real devil is just a remnant of ancient superstition or, at best, a metaphor representing evil in the world. The defeated devil is in the legion of our xenophones.
Ba #2 muli bakali sana… na tina mwee!!!!
The money that has been spent on this case has been enormous , again we know Chiluba stole the money. The right thing was top apeeal. There is no way a learned person can compare Kabwelas case to chilubas corruption case. there totally deferent this fool is so dull.
cimpuno atase..we knew you were behind all the messy..i feel pity for Evans and Judge Chinyama..someday u will cry…
Shikapwasha is a let down and MMD really need to rest.Shikapwasha is another betrayer of Levy just like Rb himself.
The problem is Sata and HH should just disolve their Political Paties and form One Party unlike a Pact.
And these other small parties should disolve and form One Party for 2011 or else RB and stupid fools like Shikapwasha will continue fooling Zambians.
I respect the judgement made by the judge. However i have an issue with the initial legal study conducted by the Attorney General’s office. From the onset the Attorney General’s office should have reasonably predicted the ability to register and enforce the judgement they were pursuing in the UK. If it was not going to stand up in Zambian court or be enforced why spend limited resources pursuing it. The initial legal team that brought the action to the UK court needs to be questioned on their reasoning. Disciplinary action needs to be taken against this team.
With great concern, Is their hope for our nation? recent events indicate and exponse how shameless/heartless/selfish our higher office bearers are in our Land. Am afraid were we are heading becouse its only their interest which matters. God should help us, wakeup fellow Zambians!!
Senior citizen, if Chiluba aka a man the lives beyond his and his nations needs, is the light i would rather be in the dark!
This government is really setting a bad precedent.
Is a government appealing tantamount to undermining the work of the judiciary? Can some learned lawyer please help me on this one. What the hell is DEC and Police doing appealing cases if they are undermining the judiciary? Fire there bosses then.
I feel let down by govt coz i begin to wonder why they went to great legnths to prosecute and then just stop at the end. Everyone knows that govts can accomplish things if they desire to. My problem is the chummy dispostion of the mmd towards chiluba now. The govt should not operate on personal relations and favors of presidents etc. we have laws that should guide us from the begining to the end of our dealings. DID THE SO CALLED LEARNED MEN AND WOMEN IN THE LEGAL DEPTS OF GOVT NOT FORSEE THIS? I am worried about how my country will be when im old enough to govern it. Is Mr banda too old and blind?
People let us move forward alot of money has been paid to Nchito and company unless you want to make them more richer and that US embassy spokes person should mind her own business Zambia has its own brains. And for those TIZ NGO chaps let them go to hell with their hate.
This is a good stance taken by the government and should be commended. We are a sovereign state and should not allow ourselves to play in the hands of imperialist forces. We can not mortgage our judiciary to the whims and panders of agents of hatred and their tandem of minnions operating from their ivory towers on Bwinjimfumu road. These fellas in their fertile imagination deceive themselves as having the monopoly of wisdom when in actual fact they are simply blinded by personal hatred for FTJ whom they wanted crucified at all costs to settle scores.
There goes membe still, Membe won’t rest over FTJ, no he won’tl and cannot rest. His obssession is to have FTJ behind bars. But this won’t happen. And so membe will continue to agitate and rant for FTJ to be incacerated. I think this will lead to Membe’s down fall. Such obssession and hate becomes no longer apreciated and people begin to see that there is something between the two. I advise membe to calm down over Chiluba. Let him not personalise the case. Any story he writes in his Post, he always tries to link it to FTJ the thief. Personally am tired
This is the reason why the PACT should not break. The nation will never come to the truth about the Chuluba saga .PLse HH and SATA you should reconcile for the benefit of the majority of the Zambians 8-|8-|
@ Chinese Eyes – who are the imperialist forces you talk about? I’m more afraid of our current political crop than anyone else. Please enlighten me.
Firstly there’s apparently a blithering i.d.i.o.t. on this forum and it’s non other than senior citizen. His rumblings and murky attempts to exonerate FTJ by brining in religion are not only disgusting but an affront to the very virtues that God tries to foster. How do you have a man of God who spends $500,000 on champagne with his rich friends in Europe while his countrymen die from starvation. He could have a semblance of a defence if this money was his. But nay, it was the very starving souls that contributed this money through the ever high taxes.
This government is a disgrace no much worse it’s a catastrophe. You wonder, do these airheads think beyond the nonsense they spew? Do they have kids, grandkids who they care for? I mean they are driving this country to the brink of…
I don’t comment on nonsense. I can even see that all the dunderheads on this blog have joined hands with the devil Shikapwasha.
All those that are supporting the government and Chiluba hear this: one day the same laws and courts will visit you and you will go down.
@18,19,20,23 Let christians live by GOD’s standards not only by mouth but by deeds,charactor and everything..May I assure you that even the devil calls GOD by HIS titles thru his agents..I am not suggesting anything about anyone but I just want to say is”””When you are wrong genuinely apologise and please do not mock innocent souls that are suffering at your selfish expense”” I know alot on what has been going on in our land..it is sad
Who sued Chiluba kanshi mwebantu? And who aquited him iye? Can you sue somebody and aquit him again, wemwine? If you want sue him again for the wrongs he did to you. You are free to do that. The Govt sued Chiluba and the Govt aquited Chiluba, it does not make sense does it. At the moment I would rather respect the judiciary outcome because we have wasted a lot of money on the same issues of one person.
#4 Senior Citizen- I have just accessed the 2007 postings and confirmed that you supported Levy in every way. What a turn coat you are.
Senior citizen you have no brains!! go to hell together with FTJ and Rb
RB is just laughing at you his blind followers coz he knows what he is doing in these aquitals
# 35 grow up you moron….the same `imperialist forces’ you want to lash against are the donors your govt. goes to parlay itself before, begging for aid and other forms help. They release their taxpayers money and the same politricians that your courts of law don’t want to punish, steal this money.
When the donors complain…you jibber about imperialist inteference…how F**kin ridiculous.
Who can allow his consultant go to mukobeko?
#18 senior Citizen leave God out of this thou shall not use the name of God in vain. You know deep down your heart that Chiluba has stolen the Zambian money. There is still $8 million in Zamtroop account which he can not say where it came from. $20 million paid for arms under his command still un available Carling ton maize saga still waiting for him. All his accomplishes in the names of Aaron Chungu, and his commanders are in the gallows over same offenses what are you talking about? You sucks.
Zambian Airways still owes National Airports Corp US$2.5 million and the Banks another US$6.0 Million. The shareholders are known. In the USA these Directors would be in Jail today…look at ENRON and all who those robbed shareholders in the last Wall Street fiasco? Mmembe and Nchito and Mark Chona are common thives who were hiding under the Cabbage garden and since the cabbage was harvested we have been able to see them clearly what they were hiding they stole at Task Force with the help of the Lettuce who is saying the Cabbage stood for truth…What truth??? Bakabwalala…Kulibonesha ta…
Sitingadabwe,you are all thiefs.Bamambala imwe.
Logic…Chanse’s case was a comedy..period…
ZAMBIA, ROTTEN TO THE CORE WITH NO HOPE…I PRAY MMD LOSES A HUNDRED FOLD FOR NOT LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE’S VIEWS-NOT REPRESENTING US, YOU ARE NOT IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE, YOU CANT READ US, CANT HEAR US, CANT FEEL US…YOU MMD ARE INDEED A GROUP OF SELFISH MEN AND WOMEN…THE HOUR HAS INDEED COME…I PRAY FOR VOTE RIGGERS TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND TURN THE ELECTION AGAINST YOU-THEN YOU WILL SPEAK WITH YOUR OWN MINDS AND SEE THE LIGHT…YOU HAVE REALLY TAKEN US BACK TO THE LATE 80’S IN THE SAME WAY UNIP DID…ALAS WILLIAM BANDA AND RB ARE AT HOME WITH THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU…YOU MAKE ME SICK.
Wait,MUZADYA BEANS YO-OLA.

Mr Shikapwasha and #34 London,
With due respect to your views, I however strongly disagree with your comment that ‘ The nation should bury this case and move forward to provide developement to the nation’. The fact of the matter is, Zambia will never develope as long as those in the leadership continue their plunder and pocketing millions of US$. If these thieves are not punished the situation will get worse and worse and the country will be in ruins.
How can a Govt spokesperson spew such an incoherent statement? We are truly gullible zambians being s.c.r.e.w.e.d. in all body orifices while we watch and smile. I cant anticipate anything worse than this- this is the apex!
pafwenamwine,
Though i find you obsessed with the Ben Kangwa name when i’m not, your hypocricy and immaturity as a PF cadre is not worth my engagement. I have been consistent on what i deem as of national interest than personal battles. Don’t expect me to dress up your hatred.
Job well done Mr. Government spokesman people will now move on to other issues, i wish Chiluba a good life for once he has gone through alot.
Since the Zambian Govt is now saying that appealing a court’s decision is tantamount to disrespecting the Judiciary; are we now going to see the dissolution of the Supreme Court? The Supreme exists as a final court of appeal. It only deals with cases appealed to it from the High Court meaning that any appeal as per Shikapwasha’s logic is an insult to the High Court judges.
Capitalist, Senior (is it junior, by your kind of reasoning) Citizen and Chinese Eyes, imwe if colour mwaba ama tall-lay…….go to hell with your useless government. Who took the case and successfully tried it in the UK, te ka Kunda ka mambala? Today you are talking of costs for not appealling, savings could have been made before Shikapwasha and Kunda and rest of them took this case to London….this is useless. Even little kids in shanties know that there was enormous abuse of resources under Chiluba, and now under RB, its like journey to kasama part 2. Every dog has its day. today might be yours but it won’t last forever!!
I recall Levy had offered Chiluba a way out of this mess which involved the repatriation of the $46 million to the GRZ to stop any further action through the courts. This was turned down.The judgement by the learned Judge does not clear Chiluba and his co-accused from any wrong doing. Zambia needs that $46 million for development purposes.
The Auditor General should be tasked with auditing the relevant accounts to establish where this money is and if need be, GRZ must seek the co-operation of its partners world-wide for assistance to recover that money.
There is no need for the GRZ to be asking for donor funds if it cannot keep the money safely.
Good leadership Ronnie. Thats the way to go. Why appeal when you know we dont have backs mwemashilu mwe fima PF and fima NGOs. The Post want the appeal to continue so that they continue looting donor funds through senseless task force so that they can pay choking debts to DBZ and Napsa. The Post are chocking and so are tuntenmba ngos who’s survival is dependant on how loudest the speak. Look at ka Goodwell Lungu and Lifuka. They are threatened with donor fund withdrawal unless they they speak the loudest. Shame on them imperialist conspirators. Who are you to determine the course of governance as though you are the ones who were elected. To hell with your donors GO HANG TOGETHER WITH THEM. You have no initiative apart from working for NGOs . Why appeal? Is it your Zambia alone?
Senior Citizen
Google Wikileaks and read all about your gloryfied thief called Levy.
MMD has been STINKING for 19 years now.
General that is logical! Forget about amafools pa Zambia who are always full of demons of hate. Let’s move forward! For 9 years now you have been trying to get one person and spent a fortune enriching others while making the country poor. Zambia, let’s move on and disband ulupato.
# 62 ubupuba! Repatriation of the millions from your mother’s bedroom or from Levy’s?
Can we get a comment from George Kunda the guy who went to London to procecute the case? Does he still regard himself as a lawyer and SC? He should best resign as VP and stop pretending to be a lawyer as he is not better than a Kaponya.
# 63 If this is the thinking that charecterises the current crop of politicians in govt, I understand why the country is in the mess it is. You baseless and off the mark rant is more symbolic of ether a deluded mind or one so challenged it can’t critically think over issues.
#65 Thanks at least you kept your nonsense short. I would not be suprised if you are machete wielding cadre who only recently knew about the internet. So while you’re at it, it would spare us if you kept your sock in it.
Now all those opposing the judgement let me tell you this, whether you screem the loudest that judgement will never be reversed. That American Muzungu should keep her A.S.S shut. Let her tell us why the USA to this date has refused to sign up to the International Court of Justice headquartered in The Hague. ? Simple .. The USA does not want its citizens to be tried by foreign courts and you fi-mazambians you are there mfwemfwemfwe crying for a foreign judgement to registered in ZED. Only LPM knows why he took FJT to a london court. Dont blame George Kunda. He was merely a merchant on behalf of LPM. Afterall George at one time advised LPM against dropping Mukelabai as DPP, but Levy was adamant. So George was merely doing Levy’s battles. LPM was vindictive. So let LPM ansa to this not RB
Ronnie,
Is this the guy who was the commander of our Airforce? I cannot believe we had such a chap. Who appointed him? Was it Chiluba? If it was no wonder it is payback time.
Well, to utter a statement like this Shikapwasha must have been sleeping when this very government, through his boss Kunda, sued Chiluba in London, secured the conviction and applied to apply the verdict here. He must have the memory shorter than my chicken to utter thus: “the Government’s view is that the nation should move ahead and concentrate on providing development and other services instead of persecuting former heads of State and satisfy foreign interests”. When time comes, Shikapwasha must be excuted, for treachery.
Hee Zambia one…..poor people will die while thethieves-MMD thugs are getting fat every day.
Any way we expected it, only in Zambia.
Shikawiso is indeed an imbecile! Do these guys have anything between their ears? I mean, like something gray? Would they even dare disagree with what Bwezani’s stance is on anything? Its pathetic and its high school like. Bwezani is the bully and he has his “chola” boys doi9ng the dirty work. Shame on you chi Shikawiso or whatever they call you. 2011 is coming and I hope Sata is taking notes on all your utterances. Behind the bars is where you, RB, FTJ, Mulongoti and the rest of you cheap thugs belong! What are you? The Zambian Mafia?
#20,23,58 senior citizen, you will never be be a senior citizen becoz of you reasoning which is full of hate and cheap. the people you seem to hate meembe, sata, and others are not of your calibre. You can not even stand them given chance to have a one on one discussion on matters of this country becoz they understand zambia better than you failure who is hiding in the western world probably working in a home care for the aged. come to zambia and see the reality of how zambians are suffering. dont you think the poor zambia should have some one to speak for him? if meembe writes about evils, is it wrong or do you have the guts yourself to come and speak for the poor? how come you run away fom zambia. Shut your mouth becoz you are a no body back home!!!!
I don’t see any similarities between the two cases that are being compared.
# 36.Malume.
IF U think Mmembe is personlising the Chiluba issue/case then do the wise thing.Keep AWAY from the Post. I bet the POST wont miss yr readership.
The solutions to this kind of issues, is to terminate some of these people. Our gov. is being a p*$#ey. I am starting to have my suspicions. How come Manawasa and Judge Japhet Banda’s the 2 that were going the right direction with this case are dead ????
I am just saying
If we appeal we shall be in court for another 10 years, wasting our time and money, and enriching clever lawyers who will earn millions simply raising preliminary issues for 9 years. So let’s move and build roads okay.
Fellow Zambian on daily bases when the government of the day is defending this appeal we go through torture and the reason is simple, they now we can not do anything. Its really SAD:-?
Number 78 u are right, whats the total budget the task force consumed and how much were we prosecuting for? Fellow Zambians lets move away from basing our facts on rumours lets read and be knowledgeable. Can any one of u in this noble house stand up and say they read the full judgement of the london case and the bizzare acquital here in zambia. Knowledge is power
PACT=MMD and MMD = PACT no difference same old recycled politicians who are getting rich when they are supposed to be serving us. All of them are after our resources to empower themselves and not the PEOPLE.
only time will tell..u think you are living innheavn but u living in helll!!someday the chain will be broken..thief will be left alone!!
