Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) president Edith Nawakwi has charged that there is need for government to identify the root cause of corruption in the country.
Ms. Nawakwi who is also former Finance Minister in second Republican President Fredrick Chiluba’s Government told QFM in an interview that corruption is retrogressive to the fight against poverty.
She said the current system in government is so porous for corrupt activities and that the removal of the abuse of office clause from the revised Anti Corruption commission Act will worsen the vice.
The FDD president said the recent misappropriation of funds at the Ministry of Health is worrying and has made Zambia’s attainment of health related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in a difficult position.
She has advised government to decentralize the budgeting process to district level so that funds are sent directly to the recipients in districts.
Ms. Nawakwi said it is high time government takes responsibility of the corrupt activities in the health sector adding that it should ensure that the much talked about quality health care delivery to Zambians becomes a reality rather than just offering lip service.

Hey Nawakwi,
And what was the root cause of your US $20 million carlington maize scam you stole from Zambians with Rajan Mahtan Canadians?
What has been the root cause of your prostitution that has led to you having 5 kids from different men?
What has been the root cause of you stealing Hambula from his wife and 7 children only to be battered every day?
Pliz nawakwi shut up! Your time in government is long gone. No one can listen to you sorry.. What is the root cause of corruption? You!! President of FDD finished party. Let Mumbi talk not you so shut up!!!
This bitch was one of the poorest among the MMD candidates of 1991,at rallies prior to the elections we used to identify her with poverty looks but with a little bit of brains.one post journalist attested that at one point when she became minister,she drove through her former neighhood and one kid exclaimed that “iye aba benzekugulisa tomato ninshi bankala apa,manje banasiya nakuposha” but the whore left govt stinking rich with somebodies husband as a bonus
DELETED
Nawakwi should not act as if she is free of corruption. She bought house after house a few months after being appointed as Minister in Chiluba’s government. Had the ACC done its job she would have been arrested for living beyond her means but since only enemies are investigated she survived with what she stole
Nawakwi & Sata have no moral right to talk about corruption. They were part of the most corrupt regime Zambia has ever had!
Sure Ba Nawakwi just keep quiet, its more honorable for you to do that than talk about corruption when you were a corrupt minister yourself. So tell us what was the root cause of the Carrington maize scandal?
This should be the DUMBEST politician Zed has produced!! It is more honorable to keep quiet sometimes. Try asking some street kids near you, THEY WILL PROBABLY EDUCATE YOU AS YOU PARTOOK IN CREATING THEM!!
Mdm Edith, you’re talikng sense but unfortunately you lack any credibility. You were Min of Finance, why didn’t you fix the porous internal controls? Answer is simple; you benefited from these porous controls and as a result accumulated questionable wealth. You and FJT were very ‘close’ (intimately) so it’s hypocritical at the least for you to start lecturing us on good governance.
yaba,so far no support for Nawakwi on the blog.If thats is not enough,she has finished my party FDD.I think,I will just do the Simataa Simatta and launch an ineternal coup.This will be successful since there is no FIFA of political parties..lol
#11
meant …internal
#11 are you trying to correct the word in the parentheses in #9?? That would certainly make interesting reading, we would then just add a few more tallies of those that have scored!!
