Second Republican President Fredrick Chiluba will be pursued using other existing laws such as tax evasion, charges the Patriotic Front.
Commenting on media reports stating that Lusaka High Court Judge Philip Musonda has ordered the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) to return the seized properties belonging to Dr. Chiluba, PF Spokesperson Given Lubinda says the move clearly shows that the Rupiah Banda led administration has completely abandoned late President Levy Mwanawasa’s vision of curbing graft in the country.
Mr. Lubinda says the fact that the Republican President’s earnings cannot purchase the kind of properties that Dr. Chiluba owns means that he was engaged in some kind of business.
He says it is unbelievable that properties that the second President may not have acquired using his legal earnings are being given back to him.
Mr. Lubinda states that once the PF assumes power after this year’s general elections, it will make sure that Dr. Chiluba declares taxes.
He says that the resources used to buy those properties are certainly not from state resources even though Presidential emoluments are tax free.
And the Judiciary of Zambia has clarified in statement signed Public Relations Officer Terry Musonda that second Republican President Frederick Chiluba is not a Party to any court proceedings before Hon. Judge Phillip Musonda and has therefore not been mentioned anywhere in the matter, between Tedworth Properties Incorporation (as a plaintiff) and the Anti-Corruption Commission (as a Defendant).
He states that there was no court order to give back Dr. Chiluba properties as shown by the court record adding that the calculation and deliberate creation of a court case and order which have never been presented before the court of law is misguided and unfortunate.

nikalazo ka chiluba, kapelekeni ku prison as we take RB back to the farm, we need more kandoloo.
Lubinda, you useless mwenye! I’ve no love for FJT kafupi because he’s indeed a very corrupt and shady individual. However, PF should be the last people to be condemning the midget. Your president, Chilufya Sata, was in bed with kafupi for 10yrs and continued to support him during his beef with late Levy. Given, you’re forgetting that you used to organize cadres to receive kafupi at the airport every time he returned from his medical review? It’s therefore shameful and appalling for you to now try and distance yourselves. If HH made the same statement, it would make more sense. You jokers will never rule Zambia because you’re all the same (crooked, inconsistent, corrupt).
I don’t know if anybody has observed something here. Lubinda is now saying PF govt and NOT PACT govt. Is the PACT trully dead in PF circles? Just observed, don’t stone me please.
# 3 it’s LT english, they distort info
# 2 big pipe I have become your fan I like your hardhitting contributions and very factual not just yapping like a rabid dog. Again you spot on PAKI lubinda trying to gather a few bread crumbs sfter he has fallen out of favour with PF. PAKI do the honorable and quit PF you remember you won that kabwata seat on LPF ticket you in the wrong camp
Mr. Lubinda, please take note that they are called the courts of law and not the courts of public opinion.
I somehow get the feeling that PF has got no development agenda for the nation and will use witch hunting court cases to trick the public that they are working. I believe the ACC is fully equipped to handle such cases. What we want to hear is development PF, elections are this year and you still have not laid out your economic plan besides the 90 days economic miracles you have been promising.
When does PF ever talk about development?
who says pf will rule this year..?what about the pact.ok ..we shall see who will cry the loudest!
Our Phd students revealed that FJT used to preach in Western nations where he was given large offerings.
He He He….. When one door is closed the other one is open……. RB secured FTJ aquittal now other cases will be opened up. TAX evasion.
Mr Capitalist @6: How do you honestly expect a development plan or manifesto from a man who received his two degrees from an imaginary university in imaginary fields? These guys in PF are bankrupt in terms of knowledge in economics. Sata promised Luapula people tractors each and told them not to ask him where he was going to get the money. And my cousin ‘ tubulus ‘ believed and voted for him.Now he wants to use another lie to fool Lozis. Pf are only trying to be foolhardy; they know quite well that they cannot speak with reason and thus cannot convince people to win an elction of this magnitude.And HH has admitted that there are squabbles in the pact and now it’s a matter of time he will quit the agreement. Shame on HH for not seeing what was obvous.
but the high court says there was never such a case dealt with at the court so lubinda is commenting on a concocted story by the Post newspaper who are becoming worse by the day like a used toilet paper
Lubinda, please move on! This is beef between the Lazo and the Post – they seem to have been stung when he dribbled them – again….
Lubinda is mostly sane on all issues but politics where he has been hypnotised by the snake he calls his president. Well Given, let me give you some advice for free: the old Cobra will never step his dirty feet into Zambia’s State House because no sane Zambian wants him to do that. His and yours will continue to be just dreams.
It’s only a foolish president like the current one that doesn’t see anything wrong with Chiluba. This year be it Sata or HH Chiluba is going to Jail. A thief is a thief and belongs in Jail. No two ways about that.
@ 13 Amalaila, what sanity can come out of an ARVs DRUNKEN half Chinese half Lozi( Given Lubinda)?We shall push him out of PF at the right time.We dont need adulterers in PF. We have been following his activities and we are watching him.
