This is in connection with the on-going investigations involving the 100 thousand United States Dollars transactions at Finance Bank.

The Commission has seized a Chevrolet and an Isuzu double Cab, both valued at 100 thousand United States Dollars.

DEC Spokesperson John Nyawali confirmed this to ZNBC News in Lusaka today.

Mr. Nyawali said the vehicles were taken to the D.E.C headquarters this morning by Mr. Sata’s drivers and lawyers.

He said that Mr. Sata, through his lawyers was asked to surrender the two motor vehicles which are a subject of investigations to the Commission after recording a second statement from him.

  4. what a waste of time…..if only politics were a profession, may be they would have had guiding principles to legitimise their objectives and protect there integrity. it seems shame only is not helping that much. people have not shame in the country.

  5. Right now, it is a shameful thing to be Zambia . . .God help us, we live here and have nowhere else to run to.

  6. You guys ba MMD, you will create a problem that will fail to solve. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It is not the way to treat people to be honest. Every dog has its day, we shall wait for your day.

  8. This harrassment has gone beyond what we expected, and the tribal lines will be hard to heal bane. We hope you will stay forever in state house.

  10. Atasse ba MMD how cheap, digging a hole for your friend is as good as digging one for yourself. Ask ka FTJ. No 1 exactly my question what next???

  13. #10 Ghostrider…………………..Read History!
    1. Was it fair for kaunda to humiliate Kapwepwe??
    2. Was it fair for Kaunda to humiliate Chiluba??
    3. was is it fair for Chiluba to humiliate Kaunda??
    4. Was it fair for Chiluba ti humiliate Levy in protection of sata’s corruption at ministry of health which led to his resignation from govt,
    5. was it fair for for Levy to humiliate Chiluba??
    6. Was it fair for RB to forgive Chiluba & all those levy humiliated??
    7. Was it fair for Sata to claim that Levy just did public relations when he saved his life
    8. Is it now fair to investigate Sata, Morhan, martani, etc????

    Therefore, understand what led to all what happened in 8 questions above………………

  14. We love our country Zambia wherever we are. God blessed us with Zambia and we are so proud of our land. The desparation we are seeing in the current leadership will be punished by the people of Zambia. Remember once people never thought KK would be voted out by the people many call passive. Remember FTJ wanted to take Zambia for granted with his third term and the Zambians rose up from all walks of life to claim their country back. Make no mistake ignore Zambians at your own peril. Dear Zambians it is time again to demonstrate that we change governments when we want to.

  15. Instead of creating a strong force, Sata and the post destroyed the pact. Now sata is fighting his own battles without the post and UPND.Some people can be i d i o t s. One can even see the excitement from bloggers when the pact was going well but alas things seem to have turned the bad way.

  18. This is mmd’s tricks, they don’t want Sata to campgain. The 35,000 votes difference of 2008 are haunting them.

  21. No one used to talk talky during Sata’s hey days. he is marely reaping what he sowed.Even Rupia will one day reap his bumber harvest. This world is complicated. The sooner you master that in your thick skulls the ……complete the sentence.

  22. Father Frank Bwalya & his Die hard for Zambia Vs Chanda Chimba the third and his stand up for Zambia.Help me people,who is more sensible between the two battle of wits.

  23. They seize Sata’s vehicles yet they acquit Regina and give her back all the stolen property and throw away the 3-yr jail sentence!
    This is country is one of a kind!

  25. Good pay for Sata. The chap was untouchable when he was in government. He is simply reaping what he planted when he hounded his friends from mmd. DEC please go ahead and cane his buttocks.He must fill the same pressure he gave Christone Tembo and Nawakwi during the third term debate. DEC chifwanteni chimambala.

  26. Am not saying i like sata but this is pure desperation on mmds part.who has seen STAND UP FOR ZAMBIA(wateva its called) on znbc,a programe thats dedicated 2 decamping sata,cheap politics yena yalya,mmd shud understand controversy sells they are only makin him more popular.

  29. well i really dont know!!but this all sucks.shame to all the political players bapa zed,Sata inclusive!!
    Muli Fipuba bonse.you are embarassing ZAMBIA.

  31. There is always no smoke without fire.Just is there was something when Levy took Chiluba to court, just as there was something when mathan was taken to court, just as there was something when VJ was taken to court, just i there was something when Sikota was taken to court, just as there was something when KK was arrested on xmas day and Sata was ululating as M.o.nster Without Portifolio, just as there was something when Sata exposed Levy’s personal account at the same Finance Bank, just as there was something when the Post Newspaper feasted on Emmanuel Mwamba, Just as there was something when Katele was convicted, just as there was something when the generals and xavier chungu were convicted, SO THERE IS SOMETHING IN MIKAELI SATANIC CHI-LOSER in this one case. wait ans see events unfold

  32. So are they saying Sata is guilty! There’s something cooking next you’ll be told Sata is in custody and has been denied bail. Watch this space!

  34. Meanwhile Maamba Choncholi’s are walking freely in southern province. Justice mu zed tamwaba. I think i would have been a better man if i was born in dominican republic…not zed!

  35. Dont Kubeba.# 24 Once acquitted you became blameless as per the traditions onf men. Let Sata prove his innocence too. Do you know the source of the $ 100, 000. Dont Kufyono

  37. DEC means Dangerous Explosive Criminals, directed by his Emberasing Rural Branch Bandit. go on but remember kaunda was once like that and now is nomore.:-?:-?:-?

  38. Can someone explain how Frank Tayali ended up at DEC. For all I know this chap has been involved in oil and “ndandashe” deals in Ndola ever since he left UPND after losing the 2006 elections. Something is definitely fishy with his presence at DEC.

  39. Maamba choncholis will appear in court too and the docket is there. Typical kaponya mentality. Sata is free until proven guity. Dont Kufyonona

  40. President Sata must have his own motor vehicles, why surrender the dear wife’s cars? Is it a way of soliciting for sympathy.

  41. #35, who knows the source of your money you are using now, or who bother about my money that I pay my workers. Is it a right of Dec to know where every person gets money? then let them ask chiluba were he got $8m, and ask Grey Zulu and Kavindele were they got there wealth. Brother read between the lines, this DEC is a planned cacoon to constrain some opposition. it is anti opposition and does not apply to pro MMd

  42. There is need to change the ball game now. At the rate things are going there is a very big possibility that SATA may get incarcerated by the MMD minions so that they stand a better chance of winning next year’s elections. Thats why at the moment they even started courting UPND so that HH does not even stand any chance of winning the elections in case the PACT replaces him with SATA. MMD at the moment is in a dilemma and will try to do anything to retain power.

  43. Mrs Chiluba free ,Sata ‘s wife cars confisicated zambian justice mmd is diging it’s own grave the are just making Sata popula by harassing him have you ever heard of pity vote.come on guy s every one can see that you are targeting sata because he is a threat for you guys to hold on to power.

  44. yayaya that’s low, harassing his family? They should watch out with that approach, these PF chaps are very calm and level headed but when you start going off-piste and harassing relatives you might get a bad shock

  45. Whilst the collateral Damage could be High. I think WAR could be the best option to Get rid of some people in Leadership. It seems in Zambia politics is easily manupulated whilst Zambians watch!!!
    Docility of Zambians is driving this state called Zambia making Zambians hate each other.Those in Leadership mastermind dubious aquital of Know thieves. Persecuting the Innocent to send a strong fear message to the Populace. Whilst FTJ is smiling with his ill gotten family fortune, the Voice of the Voiceless are being targeted. They said he gave the money to father Bwalya. Now they they sieve Motor vehicles from Mrs Sata (Doctor Kaseba)….So where is father Bwalya’s Connection. Zambians let us be wearly of Voting for people into Power where born outside of current day Zambia (RB-FTJ) B4 1964

  46. Please let the Law enforcement agencies do their job. We are the self same people who keep complaining that corruption and crime are rife in Zambia, so when these agencies make a high profile arrest we cry ‘foul!’ Gladys Nyirongo is in prison. Dr Musonda is in court. Former military generals are in prison. This is unprecedented in Zambia. Even under Kaunda, who tolerated no nonsense, we never had people tried or imprisoned like this. The fight against graft is on, and let it be known that there are no sacred cows. If there is no offence committed, Mr Sata will be freed by the courts of law. It is the duty of the executive to investigate and adduce evidence which the judiciary will look at and decide whether there is a case to answer. Let them do their job without fear or favour.

  47. What about the US$ 8 million Chiluba is saying to put in government account? Why cant you investigate it? In Zambia anyone in opposition is an enemy of “democracy”

  48. # 38 Frank TAYALI is Zambian just like you. what is peculiar employing a Zambian with children to feed. if you dont know Tayali is competently qualified to work for professional institution such as DEC. most PF cadres spend most of their time escorting suspects to courts while we MMD and to some extent UPND are busy getting the necesarry requisites to get the Jobs. Plenty of ‘UNZAs’ have opened in Zambia thanks to liberalised Education by MMD govt and yet you chaps cant spend an iota of time reading between the lines. Dont Kufyonona

  49. #47 Yaba.
    That is a scratched record please. Change it.
    1. The money laundering Act was not enacted during Chiluba’s regime when Mr Sata was part of the government. During that time, all the politicians laundered money. It is against the rules of natural justice to apply the law retrospectively.
    2. Dr Chiluba has already been tried for theft (a criminal offence) and acquitted.
    3. Dr Chiluba has been convicted of a civil offence of defrauding his country in the British High Court but not for theft.
    4. The money that Dr Chiluba ‘claims to be his’ is in a government account. No court has ruled that the money be returned to him.

  50. Every citizen has to be probed if his/her acquisition of property or money is dubious and every right thinking Zambian can support that. But the problem in Zambia these investigations have always been selective and the DEC is simply told when to arrest and investigate people. This has simply gone out of order that now DEC can be influenced by cadres. If only such unstitutions were professional and autonomous maybe things would have been different. FTJ still claims the $8 million in the Zamtroop account is still his yet he has not explained how he acquired that money, for others it is different because they are not in good books with the Govt.. I foresee our country being divided like our neighbours if these politicians do not calm down.

  53. #45 Mpangula Mputyu
    I usually respect your arguments, but here you are showing a naievity that borders on callousness and senseless partisan loyalty. The cmplainant wrote to DEC alleging that Mr Sata paid Bwalya $100k. DEC interviewed Mr Sata who claims that the $100k was for the 2 vehicles for his wife. As investigators, the vehicles will be seized so that they can be verified as the same vehicles that were bought with the said sum of the said monies. It is called ‘collecting evidence’ my friend. The VIN, Engine no. etc all have to be verified. By its very nature, money laundering involves passing illegitimate money through many ‘washing machines’ to get it ‘clean’ on the other end.

  54. but this is what sata can do when given a bit of power. lets not forget his days as mmd kalaliki. someone tell me is this blood or drug money used to buy the cars

  55. At THIS time, Mr Sata has not been charged or arrested for any crime. The DEC are investigating because there has been a complainant. Similarly, if any of you guys thought that someone had stollen your TV set, you went to the Police to complain, how would you feel if the police said that they cannot investigate because the suspect is a ‘high profile personage’ and ‘it would look like persecution? No. It is the duty of the law enforcement agencies to investigate. If there is no offence, so be it but if there is, then justice must be done regardless.

  56. It’s okay to have billions of kwacha in your bank account and nobody will be bothered, but dare to change that into US dollars it becomes money laundering and DEC will be swarming all over you.

    DEC has lost its credibility……shame

  57. Lets donate some money and buy our future Preso some other vehicles coz I smell something fishy those vehicles will be tampered with and he might perish in them if he accepts them back after the investigations.

  58. The country will thrive because there is evidence of political will in fighting drug money and launderers who happen to be clear and present danger economic saboteurs. No one is above the law and those found wanting must be dealt with decisively.

  59. Here is how money laundering goes. Suppose one sells drugs and receives $25k in profit. This person cannot put this money into the Bank because the Bank can report suspicious deposits to the authorities. He gives this money to someone with a legitimate business to ‘invest’ in the business, say a Milling company. The miller purchases $25k worth of maize and deposits $30k into his business account. The business man draws a cheque for $25k in the name of the dealer either as ‘a gift’ or ‘consultation fees’ (now that is the most popular!). Now the trail of the money is clear and clean! The dealer ‘buys a car,’ for $15k but the receipt shows $25k and resells it. Now he has money which is obviously HIS own. The drug money has been laundered!

  64. In the UK, The Proceeds of crime Act, covers a wider definition for money laundering and that includes non-cash assets and tax evasion. I suspect that Zambia has modelled its laws after this. This means that Mrs Sata may have to declare the ‘gift’ from her husband, for tax purposes and if she doesn’t she also could be charged under money laundering laws if the source of the money to buy the vehicles was illegal or if legal, under revenue laws. That is how easy it is for a State to fix anyone whom they want to fix. When a State acquires so much power, it is necessary to protect the rights of the citizens through Human rights law, and that should include the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. It SHOULD be incumbent upon the State to ‘prove’ the source of the money!

  65. 55 comments and no one has pointed out that the DEC have seized vehicles total at $200,000 while investigating $100,000 the maths and logic is wrong already. And in Kwacha again the money in question is less than K500m. Lots of Zambia have K500m so already DEC which is supposed to be investigating drugs should have a lot of Zambians arrested. What is the job of the Police and the anti corruption?
    The GRZ is using DEC to silence the opposition. These guys must go.

  66. Look at the face of Nyawali on the picture, it shows that he is doing what he is doing out of instructions and not conviction. Given a choice, he cant do that and even isue press statements. MMD and RB, you are the enemy to progress

  67. You Zambians do not know what is good for you.A few days ago,Sata claimed that the US$100,000 was from his Kwacha Account.But during interrogation by DEC,the PF President changes the story to say it is GBM who gave him the dollars.With this inconcistency,any professional body would like to investigate these claims further.Sata registered the vehicles in his wife’s name so that the vehicles are concealed.Tuff luck King Cobra!

  68. $50,000 each for an Isuszu and Chevy is too much. I can buy a 2010 E-class Benz for $40, 000 or a Luxury SUV for $38, 000. Marubish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  69. After DEC returns the vehicles to MC Sata after checking that these are the same vehicles bought from ACTION AUTO, Mumbi should be sued by us the PF supporters for slander and damages to liquidate him. On second thought, the case will be thrown out in protection of a very useful MMD propagandist. So all PF sympathisers, we should donate money into a legally registered account monitored by a group of trustees and buy new vehicles for MC Sata and PF.
    Actually, I have just asked my son who is 18 and has travelled to Zambia to ensure he registers as a voter. The MMD need to be booted out of power before people become more desperate like # 45. War should be the last resort, but when people are desperate, they resort to desperate means and MMD should avoid making Zambians desperate.

  71. Thats why I cant vote for RB the dullest president Zambia has ever produced. RB shoud know that civil WARS start in this maner. You cant pin people to a coner for ever, one day people will react and Zambia will be in frames. Be careful RB …..

    And you tu Some jobs… onlY a dulL person can do them.

    Its really sorry that Zambia is heading for terrible dizastor… NONSENSE.

  72. The solution to this problem is to elect sober minded leader who will not abuse the law enforcing institution. Some of these draconian laws were made by the same people crying now.Sata is a victim of his own laws and if given chance to govern he will behave the same way as RB is doing now. Old age does not go with wisdom. When Chiluba was in good books with SATA he openly told the nations that LPM was just against the Bembas and when RB dubiously acquitted him he complained. Some people just “wrongly born”
    The best Zambians can do is to elect people with integrity, honest who will respect these important institutions and the man who suits that is HH

  73. It would be good to vote in another president so that this can continue. The current leaders with members of their families shall have to explain their wealth from the time they were in power.

  74. # 71 Kambongolo,

    Since you discovered LT an initiative of progressive patriots free for you to blog ignorantly you have been ranting of war against Zambians. When are starting your very war? I beat you are just a clueless coward who could not even be counted in Zambia’s needy times.

  75. shame upon what is happening in our beloved country zambia.mulekwatako insoni mwemazambians.honestry how do you probe on someone with two vehicles valued at US$100,000 and then you aquite someone who has stolen the wealth of the country.”GOD IS WATCHING YOU,ONE DAY YOU WILL BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTION.”

  77. Sata deserves to a life sentence for these crimes. Even a death sentence will be welcomed by any civilised and well meaning person. Jail this old crooked madala and throw the key in lake Tanganyika.

  78. Those who kill by the sword will one day be murdered by it. Pangas in Chawama. Hounding of fellow MMDs during the failed Third Term. laughing at Kaunda and Chongwe when they were nearly murdered in Kabwe…You can add to the list.

    I don,t think he deserves less. It is another debate wherther ba December are right or wrong.

  79. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe for 2011 would-b President of Zambia HH
    is gay check his comments full of hatred…….he has made me start to starting the tongas and his hh!!!

  80. More laundered money in PF’s torn pockets! What about the USD27,000 which was impounded from Sata by the authorities at O.R.Tambo airport in South Africa? He claimed it was consultation fee but why hasn’t he gone back to claim it? In almost all countries, including Zambia, one can not legally import or export cash of more than the equivalent of USD5,000. Let the law take its course.

  81. This story is indeed sad to read, especially after reading the Regina Chiluba saga yesterday. Its bearly unbelievable how things are happening in Zambia, i feel sorry for nyama soya what will happen after he leave office, he is bringing killers in our country to attend summit,acquitting criminals and thieves, supporting corrruption and denying Zambians equal justice. what a president Zambia have?

  83. What about the $ 8 million dollars Chiluba claimed to have put in government account, can DEC be courageous enough to probe chiluba so that he tell Zambians the source of that money? How about letting Regina go free with all those stolen properties? cry the beloved country, or animal farm scenerio.

  85. you cant buy 2 simple cars at $100 thousand dollars as sata is claiming.busy condeming FTJ kashi nacho nichi kabwalala.

  86. #69 Unladyship you really talk rubbish. If Sata has got nothing to hide, then he will be vindicated. As for all you pf supporters suing Mumbi, I thought yourself and your fellow illiterate bembas think that the judiciary is corrupt so which court are you going to go to to get redress? For people who hate the judiciary in Zambia, you sure like going to Zambia’s courts. Also, I would like to know whether or not you supported Satan’s stance about freeing Chiluba in 2006 and what exactly made you change your mind. If you think Zambians are stupid enough to go to war for a man who has a history of perpetrating violence against his fellow citizens then you p need to get treatment at Chainama as soon as possible.

  87. I wish late Dawson Lupunga was alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some people couldnt have been talking. Remember Sata was clobered hands down at parliament motel………………………

  88. don’t worry your highness king cobra, even me i can donate by toyota land cruiser to you for campaigning. I bought it out of my salary:d

    Meanwhile, me I don’t mind a pact between upnd and lupiya. that will mean a battle between only two pipo. and it can be a landslide to his royal highness. Nomba fye, elyo benga rigginga. iyi yine upnd pf pact is the best. Even if you know how to rig, it will be a tough one long as pf upnd pact stands.

  90. A chevy truck that costs $100 000 that does not sound right. Not even a Mercedes S600 standard or sport costs that much.

  91. I will never forgive Satan for supporting third term DEC welcome do what he did when he was number 3 in Chiluba’s government. Punish the devil coz he is the deceiver!! Just like the bible says your work will follow you so is Satan’s work

  92. THERE IS MORE THAT CAN BE UNEARTHED ABOUT SATA IF DEC IS SERIOUS. WE NO TO THIEVES AND MONEY LAUNDERING COZ THEIR ACTIVITIES DISTORTS THE ECONOMY LATER ON DEPRIVE THE PIPO.

  93. What we are forgetting is that Mumbi mentioned father Bwalya as the person who was funded by Sata with the Zali pin dollar. How do these vehicles come in? december is running away from the issue. trying to find something to pin the cobra down!!!! i can assure you this issue is just aimed at keeping the cobra busy trotting to the courts while the MMD campaigns, But it’s most likely Sata will reap off compassionate votes from such kind of harassment. A quick summary of the postings on this issue will reveal how peoples feelings on the ground are. The MMD should stick to real issues and stop shadow boxing before time runs out. Otherwise soon and very soon people will start making noise over this issue making the cobra even more popular. Sata is a very big factor in Zambian politics.

  94. # 71 Kambongolo
    I believe that the sentiments you express are from a tribalistic heart. Since independence Zambians of all walks of life and social standing have been arrested by the Law enforcers from Kapwepwe to Kaunda, Chiluba to Sata himself but there has never been civil war. Is it because it was a Bemba in power? We reject this civil war talk. We want a blind lady justice in Zambia. Sata has not been arrested, he is just being investigated and this is not the first time!

  95. Out goes Democracy. There comes Dictatorship. Do you guys know how Mobutu or al Bashir became dictators? They used law enforcement officers to go after their perceived enemies. Idi Amin had Malyamungu to do it for him. Banda is trying to find someone in the law enforcement. Soon you will find out who is the Malyamungu in MMD government. Banda will start killing people openly as they drop off kids at schools. This dictatorship would make people wish Mushala was still alive. Soon, it shall be revealed who is behind all this animal farm type of dictatorship. Mugabe did not just drop from a tree. He started slowly like Banda is doing. You’lll realize very late that we are in that situation if we do not put a stop to this nonsense from Banda. Sometimes happiness breeds Sadness. Keep watching.

  96. #61, You are such a fu, who pays taxes on a gift. You pay taxes when you purchase something using the given money. Even if there was no taxes paid by the source, who do you after? The giver or the given? Your support for a dictatorship will soon breed a very serious war in Zambia. Keep on supporting this foolishness.

  97. Why bother yourselves about Sata? He was part of UNIP and MMD. In God ‘s name, what do you hope Sata will do diffierently for the country that he did not do when he was part of these Gangs. People on his case are his former allies who know very well how they were stealing Government money together.My advice to all sensible zambians is, vote for a new candidate with new progressive ideas. Remember’you can not teach an old dog new tricks’.

  98. #97, Jeff. No one is discussing voting here. People are discussing how Banda is going after his perceived enemies and using the law enforcement to become a dictator. The abuse of office Banda advocated for is now being done to dictate and silence the opposition.

  100. This man has taken Finance bank to court, so they’re probably looking at ways to put his feet to the fire. Quite a number of bloggers are domiciled in western democracies that demand so much of their political leaders; putting their lives under intense scrutiny. Why then do they flinch at the prospect of getting their political candidates investigated?
    If you have a bank account in Zambia now you know you’re required by law to disclose, among other things, your source of income. If the opposition’s aim is to remove the current government chiefly because it’s perceived as corrupt, does it not follow then that they show transparency? If, say, I donated money to PF now, which bank account will it go in (PF or Sata’s)?

  102. Chevrolet and an Isuzu double Cab, both valued at 100 thousand United States Dollars (Most expensive Isuzu crew cab and Chevrolet i’ve ever heard of). They better be nice!!!

  103. Probably they armored vehicles that is why Banda wants them. Knowing how Banda is running the country, who wouldn’t need an armored vehicle if you are the biggest threat to the failed govt?

  106. IT S A WELCOME NEWS FOR MR SATA TO FACE THE LAW HE CREATED WITH KA CHILUBA… NICE WAY OF MAKING LAWS, H A HA I LOVE THIS DRAMA, SATA PLAYED THIS GAME NOW IT HAS CAUGHT HIM, LET ME TELL YOU A POSSIBLE OUTCOME FROM THIS,… THEY WILL KEEP SATA IN CAUGHT AND WILL NOT CONCENTRATE ON THE CAMPAIGN while UPND AND MMD MAKE inroads AT THE END THEY FIND SATA GUILT OF CRIMINAL CHARGES AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONTEST THE ELECTION ACORDING TO THE ZAMBIAN, THEY WONT GIVE HIM ANY BELL CAUSE THIS IS AN UNBAILABLE OFFENCE. NICE GAME I LIKE THIS GAME PLEASE MAY THIS DRAMMA CONTINUE…

  107. # 94 the Saint,

    Why are you talking about the Bembas? Did I talk about bembas or about yur dull RB boss? Yes again I repeat this is how civil wars are started in all all countries ..when you have a reckless president like RB. People get tierd of such useless creatures and they resort to defending themselves if the police and judiciary can not protect them.

    Only a dull person can not see what RB is up to. Why have they let off regina from the hook? Why have they protected Saliya for the dubious Zamtel sale? Why have they not arrested Changwe for bouncing a cheque? why have they not question Chiluba about our $8 million he stole from us?

    Why have they gone for Sata who used money given by his friend?

    Mmm guys even if its sebane wikute awe it should not be so. NONSENSE.

  108. with the kind of law and justice we have in zambia i fear for the opposition member who will bounce a cheque.I have seen some bloggers who are saying sata deserves what he is getting and i think he does but what about those in MMD who are committing the same crimes or similar,if it was Dr kaseba getting a sallary without working for it she would be rotting in jail but there we see tandiwe going scot free or has anyone questioned were she is getting the millions she splashing around let me guess=donors pliz.One of these days the docile zambians will react and that day seems very near i can assure you.

  109. if you have been out of ZED FOR 2 YEARS OR MORE YOU ONLY NEED TO SEE THE KIND OF HOUSES INDIVIDUALS ARE BUILDING IN A MATTER OF WEEKS TO TELL THAT MONEY LAUNDRERING IN ZED, IS THE IN THING, SO ONE WONDERS WHY THEY WANT TO FIX A FEW INDIVIDUALS FROM THE OPPOSITION. IAM TOLD THAT THE COUNTRY IS NOW THE BASE FOR SOMALIAN PIRATES! CRIMINALS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE COUNTRY, BUT DEC IS WAITING FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON WHO TO ARREST! IF THE ZAMBIAN PIPO WANT CHANGE, IT WILL COME TO PASS NO MATTER WHAT, THE SELF PROCLAIMED POLITICAL ENGINEER, WAS BOOTED OUT!

  110. Dr Kaseba is a very senior gaenecologist at UTH and she is recognised- .. these stupid politics will one day land Zambia into deep problems. every peace loving Zambian whether MMD UPND or PF should denounce these unreasonable plots. If war was to break out, we will all be affected regardless of the political affiliations. It is therefore important for us to be on the look out. Don’t ever think war cannot break, Kenya leant it the hard way. so please these law enforcement guys and the judiciary will plunge us into problems

  111. We are tired of these stupid state sponsored cases against Mr Sata. This must be number 20 since the first one of Levy talking about vehicles (result: Sata successfully suing DPP for slander, in plain language, he proved it was a malicious lie, and was awarded money by the courts). You see all you bootlicking people blogging here I can get your IP addresses then soon I will be asking you where you got your own cars that you are driving now, then we will see if you can prove that the money is not laundered. Not “oh but my daddy he give it to me and he is friend to Kaunda”, no. Kaunda anapita kumunda kudala sana. All that is dirty money

  112. BA DEC..This is useless and no one is going to give you support dont do things in favour of some fools do things that are of help to the country, you are leaving thieves behind you under your black shadows following abakaele, mwilatusebanya twapapata ,,ba lusaka times dont put this kind nulla in the paper , we want developmental issues,,sahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  113. Its very clear next president is His Ex Micheal Sata..otherwise tukabusha ifyongo mukasalapukeko…we need free and fail not pakanwa but in ctions…wapyaaaaaaaaaa baisa.

  114. Banda and MMD know that they can only win the next elections using the state of emergency. All this is a way of trying to provoke the masses that way they can have what kept KK in office for 27 years. State of Emergency. The sad part is that there’s some nitwits on LT that support this kind of injustice. Thank God, they have one year to do this kind of crap. Soon they will be on the other side of the barrel. Even if Sata does not win, someone else will. And I pray that FTJ and Banda to still be alive and feel it. Soon, there will be a very strong movement from the Diaspora that will change things in Zambia. We look fragmented now, but anger and true love for our nation will unite us against this kind of corruption, injustices, poverty and unwarranted diseases like cholera in Zambia.

  115. A Chevloret and Isuzu can’t cost $100,000. Maybe ba Sata is such bad shopper? Or probably I should go back into car trading business in Zambia. Something is extremely wrong in this purchase.

  117. The story was that Sata gave $100,000 to Father Bwalya to create confusion during the last presidential elections, Now it’s Doctor Kaseba’s Vehicles.Am I missing something here? Cry My Beloved Country indeed.

  118. Even those who didnt know Sata now know him and will vote for him unless you MMD/DEC bar him from standing. You are sowing bad seeds for the future.

  119. Hahahaha. Those vehicles do not cost that much. Where does the DEC get it’s values, ‘guesstimates’ from? USD 200,000 for a chevy and and Isuzu. Thes must be custom-hand made with bullet-proof windows. Hahaha. Witch-hunting to safeguard their thieving ways.

  120. #53 THE SAINT check out what # 65 KCI Wrote I quote : # 55 comments and no one has pointed out that the DEC have seized vehicles total at $200,000 while investigating $100,000 the maths and logic is wrong already. And in Kwacha again the money in question is less than K500m. Lots of Zambia have K500m so already DEC which is supposed to be investigating drugs should have a lot of Zambians arrested. What is the job of the Police and the anti corruption?
    The GRZ is using DEC to silence the opposition.These guys must go.
    My being angry about all this is in Africa those inPower abuse it to silence critics so that they perpertuate their rule.. They Started with the Age Factor targeted Sata, It caught RB the MMD stopped it. They started the Degree Clause..Silently they found he has & stopped

  121. Continued from 120… Now this is waht is making a lot of zambians think it is persecution of the highest order.

    Even if it’s true the money was ill gotten which i think is not the case… people will take it they are harrassing Mr. Sata. Chiluba has $8m un-explained money he claims is his. Chiluba cost this country $20m in arms sale to Zambia with BY. The arms will never be recieved despite Zambia having paid. Chiluba cost Zambia $8m in maize sale, the Maize nowhere to be seen. cant you be angry at the system for not taking action???? Is zambia out of space??? Elections seem not to be solving this issue and time Going. No heal fast, checkk the gabon Disaster report. Up to now not released and Zambians cant force the Govt., to disclose what happened. This makes angry at Zambians.

  122. This is the DEC are acting stupidly . Within a short time, things have become worse in Zambia. Why cant DEC arrest Chiluba over $8m?

  124. THIS IS CALCULATED HARRASSMENT AND PERSECUTION…..BUT SATA CANNOT BE BROKEN BY THIS CHEAP AND ARCHAIC STRATEGY OF USING SECURITY WINGS TO GET AT YOUR COMPETITOR…….THIS IS OLD FASHIONED WAY OF FIGHTING OFF YOUR THREAT…..JUST DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND MEET IN THE BALLOT BOOTH……OF COURSE WE PATRIOTIC ZAMBIANS WILL BE THERE TO HAVE OUR FINAL SAY!!!!!!!!! 2011 DONTCHI KUBEBA!!!!!!

  125. Ba SATA, eyes on plot 1…….you’ll surely meet more vicious resistance on your way to Plot 1, but just be focussed……All patriotic Zambians are with you…….it’s just a matter of time…….

  127. All this is just stupidity, lets wait and see, Ba DEC let me tell you that in ZED there are people with money not just the $100,000, but more than. So be very careful with your actions on certain people other wise acting on impouse will make you look fools at the end.
    This all issue is politicaly motivated what so ever the Mr Big Nose (Shikangwa) might say on behalf of MMD.
    Otherwise were tired of this MMD and we are watching. Chanda Chimba is also another job seeker, we know what he is looking for just watch the space.

  128. What DEC has done to Sata is within law and acceptable. the only unfair part is that its not happening to others. Specifically for sata, it serves him right. Now DEC should proceed to targeting the seemingly untouchables. God Bless you DEC

  132. EVEN A FOOL KNOWS THAT THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT IS PREPARING GROUNDS FOR A CIVIL WAR IN ZAMBIA. THIS IS VERY PLAIN WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW THEY ARE ABUSING THE INSTRUMENTS OF GOVT. ANYWAY ITS UP TO THE ZAMBIAN VOTERS THEMSELVES TO AVERT THIS. MY ONLY WORRY IS MOST OF MY RELATIVES, FRIENDS, AND ALL THE NICE ZAMBIANS LIVE IN ZAMBIA- THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WILL BE DYING WHEN A CIVIL WAR IS ENFORCED UPON THEM BY THR RULING GOVERNMENT. THIS GUYS HAVE A LOT OF CRIMINAL OFFENCES THAT THEY WANT TO SWEEP UNDER THE CARPET BY NOT ALLOWING OTHERS TO RULE DEMOCRATICALLY. WAIT AND SEE.

  133. #15. DO YOU SUFFER OR HAVE YOU A TRUTH ALLERGY? PF AND POST NEVER DESTROYED THE PACT. UPND APPEARS TO BE DOING SO AS THEY ARE NOT REALISTIC. ITS LIKE NKRUMEH SUGGESTING PAN-AFRICANISM OR IS IT UNITED STATES OF AFRICA, AND TELLING OTHER AFRICAN LEADERS THAT HE IS THE BEST PRESIDENT FOR THE US OF AFRICA.

  134. I CAN’T BELIEVE EVEN CHAPS LIVING IN THE STATES CAN SAY STU.PID UTTERANCES SUCH AS “BOMA NI BOMA”. THIS DATE-STAMPS HOW FAR ZAMBIANS CAN TAKE THEIR STU.PIDITY. MOST ZAMBIANS NO-MATTER THEIR ACADEMIC BACKGROUND, JUST CAN’T AND DON’T THINK. READ CHIEF MWAMBA’S “DEGREE CLAUSE” CONTRIBUTION IN THE PREVIOUS POST ARTICLES.

  135. # 108 the man
    Yes I support your sentiments. One day, the Docile Zambians will rise. The coward Zambians will rise and the silent Zambians the Silence will become too silent that the Silence will be Heard. One Day. One day.

  136. Phweee!!! what a day! Problem ba shikulu ba Sata tumalyashi twa fulisha. During the third term kwali lupiya waleyendela muma trunks and bali incharge. Then ilyashi yaku SA. Nomba ili limbi I suppose he exposes himself to too many un necessary issues that dent his chances to stay clean. We can all see but we just want to pretend. There is no politics in this! If we do the right things now our children will judge us right.

  137. Mpangula Mputyu
    There is no doubt that prosecutions are selective and that is the case in ANY country in the world. The reason is simple. If you expose yourself in any way whatsoever, you are bound to be scrutinised and more so if you aspire to become the President of a country. Indeed, it must be so, because if Mr Sata is money laundering while he is out of office, what would stop him from doing so when he is in power? The case of Chiluba’s money has been exhausted ad nauseum. Dr Chilub will never get ‘his’ money back because no court has ruled that the money should be returned to him, on the contrary it has been proved that he defrauded the government so it is not his money. Those of us who are in Europe know that all the assets from the plunderers have been recovered by GRZ.

  139. As I stated earlier, Mr Sata was once the subject of investigation by ACC. This went on quietly and nobody cried foul. Mr Sata was arrested on allegation of motor vehicle theft by Mwanawasa, under the same ‘un bailable’ offence laws that Sata and Chiluba had enacted. Mr Sata was never investigated for the Mezaf flats scandal. In THIS particular case, a private citizen has complained to the DEC, which if you look at the recent ammendments to the law, DEC now covers money laundering issues and not just drugs, as some ignorantly think. DEC is bound to investigate and get to the bottom of things. If anyone suspects that a crime has been commited, let them write to the right organ to investigate and not to LT, ZW or The Post! Kabimba wrote to DEC about Chiluba’s money and DEC replied.

  141. MMD don’t be haunted by the 35,000 votes you stole which teta mentioned even before ECZ announced….Its time for Sata,take it or leave it…twachula pafula

    MMD supporter-East province

  144. no 115 actually the collective total of both cars can be US$100 000. they must have been bought as brand new vehicles.

  145. Are people suggesting that we should have a law for Mr Sata and another law for others like me?
    The law for Mr Sata would spare him from investigations by DEC and other organs because he is president of PF and an aspiring presidential candidate. Please read the constitution of Zambia and you will see that Mr Sata is a common man like you and me, and not exempt from the provisions of the law. He cannot have immunities that are not provided for under Zambian laws.

  146. If Mr Sata’s supporters are so sure about him winning 2011, please wait patiently, it’s not too long before he too can enjoy Presidential immunities, not too long before the DEC stops investigating him. Pang’ono chabe just wait, but until then, for the few months remaining before Mr Sata becomes State President he is subject to the full force of the law.
    In the meantime just caution your president to behave himself like a Presidential candidate and avoid exposing himself as he is a public figure.
